The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

Eunuch Defu, who had just returned from the Imperial Hospital, saw the emperor walking in a daze and about to fall into a ditch beside him, but he was completely unaware.

Eunuch Defu's heart tightened, and he rushed forward in two steps, shouting, "Your Majesty, be careful!" In a flash, Eunuch Defu grabbed the emperor.

The emperor finally woke up from his dream, his eyes still a little confused and dazed. Eunuch Defu said quickly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You scared me."

The emperor calmed down and sighed, "I was worried about the condition of the imperial concubine and lost my mind for a while." Eunuch Defu comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The queen is blessed by heaven and will be safe."

The emperor nodded slightly, and with the support of Eunuch Defu, he slowly walked back.

Then, the emperor suddenly asked, as if he had thought of something: "Eunuch Defu, is the banquet over?"

Eunuch Defu quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the banquet is over and all the ministers and their families have left."

The emperor sighed softly and said, "This banquet was meant to be a celebration, but I didn't expect something like that to happen in the side room. Now the imperial concubine is seriously ill. Tell me, is it my incompetence that caused this?"

When Eunuch Defu heard this, he immediately panicked and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you can't say that! What happened in the wing room was a complete accident, and the Imperial Concubine's serious illness was unforeseen. This is absolutely not your fault, Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned, staring into the distance, muttering to himself: "I think I am working diligently, but why do problems keep happening? Is it really that God is dissatisfied with my work?"

Eunuch Defu stepped forward and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please don't think like that. These are just temporary hardships. With your wisdom and intelligence, you will surely resolve the crisis and turn danger into safety."

The emperor looked towards the direction of Chuxiu Palace and murmured, "My greatest wish is that she is well."

At this time, at the gate of the imperial palace, Lin Bei saw the ministers and their families who had attended the palace banquet walking out one after another, but his masters were nowhere to be seen.

He couldn't help but feel worried. He kept pacing back and forth at the palace gate, frowning, looking inside the palace gate from time to time, clenching his hands into fists, and muttering to himself: "It's been so long, why hasn't he come out yet? Please don't let anything go wrong."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he did not bother to wipe them off, as his heart was completely on his master who had not returned.

Suddenly, Lin Bei seemed to have thought of something bad, his body shook violently, and his face turned pale instantly. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and continued to wait anxiously.

At this time in Chuxiu Palace, Shen Yiran was looking through a bunch of nourishing medicines sent from the Imperial Hospital, including hundred-year-old ginseng, rare Tianshan snow lotus, deep-sea pearl powder, blood swallows tributed from the Western Regions, and the extremely rare Ganoderma lucidum.

Shen Yiran couldn't help but sigh: "The royal family is different. These precious and rare medicinal herbs are probably not even available to ordinary people, but here they can be used at will."

As she spoke, her eyes became focused. She reached out and gently picked up the hundred-year-old ginseng, looked at it carefully, and then put it down carefully.

Then, she carefully picked out several common herbs that could both detoxify and regulate the body. She pushed the rest aside and said to herself, "These few should be enough to regulate the body of the Imperial Concubine."

In fact, the Imperial Concubine's current physical condition was not suitable for heavy nourishment. She did not stop the Emperor from ordering the Imperial Hospital to send these nourishing herbs because she felt that the Imperial Concubine was framed in this way and the Emperor should make amends. In the final analysis, it was also caused by the Emperor's failure to manage the harem properly.

After a while, Shen Yiran picked up the selected herbs and walked towards the small kitchen. Since the small kitchen was located on the east side of the side hall, it was some distance away from the main courtyard. Because she was worried about others decocting the herbs, she had to do it herself.

Soon they came to the small kitchen, Shen Yiran skillfully lit a fire and cleaned the medicine pot. She carefully cut the herbs into small pieces, gently put them into the medicine pot, and then poured in an appropriate amount of clean water.

She stared at the medicine pot intently, controlling the temperature, and fanning it from time to time to ensure that the fire was stable. As time passed, a faint medicinal fragrance gradually wafted out of the medicine pot.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Shen Yiran's forehead, but she did not dare to slack off at all. She focused on observing the changes in the medicine liquid and stirred it from time to time to prevent the herbs from sticking to the bottom of the jar.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from the back wall of the kitchen. Shen Yiran instantly became alert, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her brows furrowed. As she thought about it, several silver needles appeared between her right fingers.

She slightly turned sideways, her eyes fiercely sweeping in the direction of the sound, her body tense, ready to strike at any time.

Just as she was about to shoot the silver needle in the direction of the sound, a familiar female voice came from beside her: "Don't be afraid, Princess, it's me."

When she saw who it was, she was shocked. It was Banxia. She could appear beside her without anyone noticing. If she was an enemy, she would have died without knowing it.

Shen Yiran calmed down, frowned slightly and asked: "Banxia, why are you here?"

Banxia replied, "I am really worried about you staying alone in this palace, so I entered without your consent. Please punish me." As she said this, she was about to kneel down to accept the punishment.

Shen Yiran was moved when she heard this. Seeing Banxia about to kneel down, she helped her up and said, "I feel much more at ease now that you can come here."

She thought: That's good, with Banxia around, the safety of her and the Imperial Concubine will surely be guaranteed.

She suddenly remembered that Banxia had to have a legitimate identity to stay in the palace. She couldn't hide forever, so she said to Banxia: "You can stay in the palace as my maid. I will tell the Sixth Prince."

Banxia quickly nodded in agreement.

Shen Yiran frowned immediately, turned her head to look at the medicine pot on the left and said, "Banxia, you are in charge of the temperature of this medicine pot. The medicine must not be spoiled." Then she pointed to the medicine pot on the right and said, "I will take care of this medicine pot."

Banxia asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Princess, why do you want to boil the medicine separately?"

She pointed with her fingers and said, "This one belongs to the Imperial Concubine, and the other one belongs to the Crown Prince."

Banxia's face instantly turned pale with astonishment, "The prince is staying in the palace too?"

Shen Yiran nodded slightly.

Banxia thought to herself: Fortunately, Pavilion Master Ye anticipated that there might be danger at the palace banquet and allowed her to sneak in when the ministers and their families entered the palace, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Then, the small kitchen fell into silence.

Shen Yiran had just found time to sort out what had happened today. She really couldn't understand why the prince went to the side room. It couldn't be that he was scheming against others and ended up involving himself as well.

She was startled. That wing room, that palace maid, wait, wasn't that the wing room where she was sent after being knocked unconscious? In other words, if Banxia hadn't woken her up in advance, wouldn't she have been the one making love with the prince in bed?

Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Yu Gongchen, you pervert!"
