Harem Daily Life

After being scolded, Concubine Zhao came to her senses from her anger, and then she realized that it was inappropriate to punish the servants in front of everyone.

However, she was frightened by the horse, and it was all Xianglan's fault, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with kicking Xianglan.

"I discipline my maid, and you, Lady Tao, have no right to interfere!" Lady Zhao said coldly.

Tao Yanyan ignored her and hurried forward with Qingfeng and Mingyue, squatting down to check Xianglan's injuries.

"Go call the imperial physician quickly." Tao Yanyan used his hand to feel Xianglan's breath and found that she was still breathing.

The little girl was very thin, with blood coming out of her mouth. There was a large horse hoof print on her chest. Her ribs must have been stepped on, and her ribs might have been broken. She had just been moved under the horse's hooves by the guards, so it was unknown if it would have any impact.

Qi Yizheng, who was standing nearby, also leaned over to look and shook his head, "Tao Cairen, I'm afraid this little palace maid is in trouble. Her bones will be broken if she is stepped on by the horse. You should get back on the carriage first."

The ground is covered with blood, and this is not a place where she, the emperor's favorite concubine, should stay.

Tao Yanyan looked ahead anxiously, hoping that the imperial physician would arrive soon.

"All of you move aside and don't block the air." Tao Yanyan asked everyone to step back. She still knelt on one foot on the ground and called the little palace maid softly: "Xianglan, Xianglan, wake up, don't fall asleep. The imperial physician will be here soon and you will be cured in a while."

Perhaps her calling had some effect, the unconscious Xianglan opened her eyes slightly, but quickly closed them again.

Because it was Mingyue who called the imperial physician, the imperial physician was taking Fan Cairen's pulse. When he saw Mingyue calling him, he picked up the medicine box and ran away without saying a word. Fan Cairen was so angry that he vomited for a long time.

He Linzhang also heard what happened here. After thinking about it, he got off the carriage and came over here.

The imperial physician and He Linzhang arrived at almost the same time. The imperial physician did not even bother to greet everyone. He hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and squatted down to examine the young palace maid.

"The ribs are broken and there are internal injuries. It's hard to say whether he can survive. We can only give him some hemostatic medicine first. The pulse is already very bad. I'm afraid..." The imperial physician's meaning was very clear. This man could not be saved.

Tao Yanyan also knew that in this era, such situations would generally result in a death sentence, but seeing the young girl spitting out blood, she really couldn't bear it.

"Doctor, please give her some medicine first, maybe it can stop the bleeding?" In fact, Tao Yanyan didn't hold out much hope. With broken ribs and internal bleeding, how could he save her?

The imperial physician had no choice but to take out two pills and ask Qingfeng to feed them.

At this time, many people had gathered around, and He Linzhang did not leave. Qi Yizheng wanted to send him back first, but he waved his hand, looked at Lady Zhao, and said coldly: "What's going on? Why is your maid like this?"

Concubine Zhao immediately knelt down before the emperor, crying: "Your Majesty, Xianglan fainted and frightened the horses. I was almost thrown off the carriage. Fortunately, Master Qi came and stabilized the carriage. I am safe now."

After saying this, she glanced at the emperor, and seeing that he was still frowning, she continued crying, "I don't know why she fainted. The horse was startled by her and stepped on her, and she vomited blood."

After hearing this, He Linzhang felt that it was indeed an accident and had little to do with Concubine Zhao, so he asked her to get up.

Lady Zhao stood beside He Linzhang and cried, "The imperial physician is watching here, why don't I accompany Your Majesty back to rest first."

Tao Yanyan was already annoyed by the previous words that avoided the important issues, and Concubine Zhao's words made her even more angry. The little palace maid was about to die, and she still had the heart to accompany a man?

"Oh, Lady Zhao, your maid hasn't even woken up yet, and you're going to rest? What does human life mean to you?"

As soon as Tao Yanyan said this, everyone was frightened and fell silent.

This talented lady Tao actually dared to scold Concubine Zhao, who was of a higher rank than her. Wasn't she afraid of being punished?

The corner of Qi Yizheng's mouth twitched. He had thought that the emperor's new favorite was a delicate and weak girl, but he didn't expect that she was actually a fearless little hot pepper. He didn't know if the emperor could handle it.

He couldn't help but glance at the emperor, only to see that He Linzhang's brows were furrowed even more tightly.

Lady Zhao was so angry at being told such harsh words by a talented person that she stepped forward to argue, "I didn't want her to be like this, but I can't do anything about it. I'm not a doctor, and it's useless for me to stay here! Why are you so aggressive, Talented Tao?"

Tao Yanyan didn't look at her, but said, "You know what you did to her. You probably spent more time with her than with His Majesty. How could you be so cruel?"

He Linzhang's mouth twitched. Why did it involve him?

Concubine Zhao was speechless. She looked at the emperor twice, feeling extremely aggrieved.

The doctor sighed and said, "I have given him the medicine. This is all I can do for now. We can't hurry on the journey. Even in the carriage, it will be bumpy. The best way is to leave him here and see if he can survive the next two days."

Tao Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "Doctor, please take a look at her feet. She should have injuries on them too. Please treat them first."

Even if you are going to die, don't die with injuries all over your body.

Mingyue helped take off Xianglan's shoes and socks, and her bloody feet were exposed in front of everyone, which was unbearable to look at.

The imperial physician exclaimed, immediately cleaned the wound and applied healing medicine.

"What a sin! How come his feet are so rotten?" the imperial physician couldn't help but say.

Tao Yanyan's eyes were cold. She stood up and walked in front of Lady Zhao: "Take a good look. You are sitting in a carriage. Have you never thought about how painful it would be for them to walk from day to night?"

Lady Zhao sobbed, "There is a difference between the noble and the humble. They are servants. How...how can they ride in the same carriage with me?"

"A person's feet will hurt after walking for a day. You walked for four days straight after leaving Montreal. Didn't you ever think about how they would hurt?"

So indifferent?

Concubine Zhao rolled her eyes while crying, and grabbed He Linzhang's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't done anything wrong. Look at this Concubine Tao, she is committing a crime by scolding me in front of you!"

Tao Yanyan was speechless. What was this? He was accusing me in front of others?

She looked at He Linzhang, wanting to see if he was as selfish and ruthless as Concubine Zhao.

He Linzhang released Lady Zhao's hand and said, "You treated the servants harshly. You will be fined half a year's salary."

He looked at Tao Yanyan again and said helplessly: "You have committed insubordination, so you will be fined... three months' salary."

Tao Yanyan glared at him angrily and said, "Your Majesty, go and have a rest. I accept your punishment!"

These aggressive words made He Linzhang choke. This young talent has quite a temper!

"Oh, by the way, since Xianglan cannot be moved, Your Majesty, please leave a team of troops for me. I will take people to stay and take care of her. You go to Youzhou first, so as not to delay the progress."

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked towards His Majesty.

How dare this talented Tao do this? He actually dared to act on his own!
