If not abolished

When Concubine Wang and the Crown Princess arrived, the imperial physician had just finished examining Sun Ruoji's injuries.

"Imperial Physician, what's wrong with Miss Sun? Didn't you say before that she just needed to rest for a few days?" Concubine Wang took a look at Sun Ruoji's condition. Her knees were still black and bruised.

The imperial physician replied, "Normally, Miss Sun's injuries are just superficial. She should be able to walk after recuperating for a while. However, the marks on her knees are probably because Miss Sun didn't follow certain dietary restrictions these days. I'm afraid they will leave scars."

"What? It will leave scars." Concubine Wang turned to look at the waiter, "How did you take care of her? Why didn't you remind Miss Sun to avoid certain foods?"

The palace maids all knelt down and kowtowed. The oldest one said, "Your Majesty, we have specially asked the lady to eat light food these days, nothing that will leave scars. This is really unfair to us servants."

"How could she be like this if she ate light food? You are still trying to make excuses. Someone, go get Miss Sun's diet list for the past few days and have the imperial physician look at it one by one."

After a while, Yunqi went to the Food Department to get the list, and immediately gave it to the imperial physician for examination.

The imperial physician took the specimens and examined them one by one. After a long time, the imperial physician reported back, "Your Highness, I have just checked Lady Sun's diet during this period and did not find any food that would leave scars."

"not found."

"Yes."

"Does the imperial physician have any way to remove scars, such as ointment or something like that?" asked Concubine Wang.

"This can be mixed, but the effect may not completely restore the skin to its original state." The imperial physician answered truthfully.

"We'll do our best to remedy the situation. I'd like to trouble the imperial physician to prepare some."

"As ordered."

Concubine Wang turned around and looked at Sun Ruoji with a distressed look on her face and said, "Don't worry, I will ask the Imperial Hospital to think of more ways."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Ruoji wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was she so unlucky?

After consoling Sun Ruoji, Concubine Wang said to the palace servants, "Even if there is no problem with the food, you can't escape the blame for not serving Lady Sun well. Each of you will be punished with ten slaps on the palm. Let's see if you still want to be attentive."

"My queen, this matter has nothing to do with them. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck."

"You are too kind and treat them too well, that's why they are so careless. Don't worry about it, I will handle it."

"That's right, just take good care of him first." The Crown Princess said from the side.

"Yes." Sun Ruoji was still a little afraid of the Crown Princess.

After the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Princess left, Sun Ruoji was furious at the thought of the scar on her knee. She was just a lady, and if the scar was serious, she might even be kicked out of the palace. No, she had to act as soon as possible. She had to capture His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She couldn't delay any longer. It might be too late to wait for the formal enthronement. The Crown Princess had always had a bad impression of her, and it might be too late to wait for her nod. Now that something like this had happened, she could only take the risk and become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's person first, and then everything else would be a natural thing.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an opportunity. There will be so many people there, so there is a great chance to fish in troubled waters.

Qingyun Palace

"Your Highness, there is news from the Yikun Palace that Lady Sun has sent for the imperial physician today." Zhu Zhanji was practicing calligraphy.

"How come his condition has gotten worse? It shouldn't be that serious. I just knelt for a while." Zhu Zhanji said, putting down his pen.

"No, I heard that Miss Sun's knee might be scarred."

"Oh, really? Did you find out the reason?"

"No, the imperial physician said it might be because she didn't follow certain dietary restrictions, but the Imperial Concubine checked her dietary records and found nothing wrong with them. She even punished the palace maids who served her."

"Maybe she ate something wrong without knowing it."

"This..." Others may not know, but Wu Cheng knows. In the past few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked His Royal Highness Qi to secretly send food over there. How could he find it on the food list?

"Anything else new?"

"It's gone for now."

The matter of Sun Ruoji was not spread out, as Concubine Wang had silenced the people in Yikun Palace early on, and the Crown Princess did not spread the news either.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, why did you suddenly invite us to dinner today?" Zhu Zhanqi asked his brother as they walked.

"Aren't you usually close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How do I know if you don't know?"

"Forget it, you'll find out once you get there."

In the afternoon, Zhu Zhanji suddenly sent someone to call the two brothers and invite them to dinner.

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the place, and Zhu Zhanji was already waiting for them inside. Seeing them coming, Zhu Zhanji stood up and greeted them: "Come, come and sit down."

The two brothers sat down, and Zhu Zhanji raised his glass: "My two brothers have been in the palace for so long, and I haven't invited you to have a meal. Today I just happen to have time, so I specially asked you to come over for a meal."

"Your Highness, you are too polite. Thank you for taking care of me during this time in the palace."

"Xiao He is still so well behaved. Today we are just brothers, don't be restrained, relax a little."

"Yes."

"That's right, brother. You are usually too serious." Zhu Zhanqi agreed.

When they had almost finished eating, the Zhu Zhanhe brothers asked Zhu Zhanji for leave and went back.

"Be careful on the road." Zhu Zhanji warned.

At night, Zhu Zhanji was lying in bed as usual, but something seemed different. Zhu Zhanji was dreaming.

It was already dawn in the dream. Zhu Zhanji got up as usual, but there was no one in the room. The fog was so thick that he could not see anything clearly. He drew aside the curtains and walked out. When he opened the door, he saw the battlefield in Mobei. Was it the emperor's expedition to Mobei?

He heard someone calling "Your Majesty" from afar. He walked over towards the voice, but could not find the Emperor's grandfather. What was going on? Apart from the Emperor's grandfather and himself, who else was fighting here?

"Your Majesty, please go."

This time he heard it more clearly, as if it was right here. He looked in the direction of the sound again and saw a man sitting on the ground, surrounded by a group of people, but that man did not move, and the people around him fell down one by one. He saw that the opposite side was the Mongolian army, and Zhu Zhanji ran over quickly to check the situation.

You don't know until you see it. You'll be shocked when you see it. Why does this kid look familiar? Oh, I remember now. This is his son, Zhu Qizhen. Wait, Zhu Qizhen, why is he fighting here, and...

Zhu Zhanji originally wanted to pull Zhu Qizhen up to ask what was going on, but he found that he could not do anything. He could only watch the Mongolian army beat the Ming soldiers back step by step. And his big son? He fell off his horse in a particularly embarrassing way and sat motionless, watching the people around him fall down one by one.

"Your Majesty, I have just killed that dog slave Wang Zhen. We will cover Your Majesty's retreat..." Before the man could finish his words, he was beheaded and fell to the ground.
