My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"Alright, alright." Ertai looked at Xiaoyanzi with concern, then pulled her to her seat. "Luckily, we have plenty of pain-relieving and scar-removing creams in our house, otherwise there wouldn't be enough doctors in the entire capital for you."

Xiaoyanzi smiled and replied, "Well, what nonsense are you talking about? But if there aren't enough doctors in the capital, there are still the imperial physicians in the palace."

Ertai looked at Xiaoyanzi with doting eyes, "Just sit here and don't move. Ziwei, help me watch her and don't let her run around."

Originally, Ertai wanted to continue asking about Hanxiang.

But when he saw Xiaoyanzi's scars.

Just forget about Hanxiang's matter.

His focus now is entirely on Xiaoyanzi.

When Ertai came out of the room with the pain-relieving ointment and scar-removing ointment, he happened to see Xiaoyanzi pulling Ziwei and Qing'er out of the Bachelor's Mansion, with Xiao Jian and Erkang following closely behind them.

Ertai quickly caught up with Xiaoyanzi, and asked as they walked, "Xiaoyanzi, where are you going now?"

"Go into the palace, go to the Cining Palace." Xiaoyanzi got on the carriage in a hurry.

Ziwei and Ertai also jumped on, while Erkang sat in the same car with Xiao Jian and Qing'er.

The two carriages moved slowly towards the palace.

Ertai sat beside Xiaoyanzi and began to apply medicine to her carefully, complaining all the time.

Ziwei blinked at Ertai, signaling him to stop talking, but Ertai didn't notice and continued talking.

Ertai didn't shut up until Xiaoyanzi got angry.

Xiaoyanzi looked at Ertai angrily and said, "What's wrong with you all? You're taking care of me instead of Hanxiang. Although... although Hanxiang was wrong to hurt the emperor, there were reasons for it. If the emperor hadn't insisted on the old cow eating the young leaves, this wouldn't have happened."

When Xiaoyanzi finished speaking.

Ziwei immediately reached out and covered Xiaoyanzi's mouth tightly.

Ziwei warned quietly, "Xiaoyanzi, you're getting more and more outrageous. It's okay to say this kind of thing here, but don't say it outside. You'll lose your head if you do."

"Hmm." Xiaoyanzi knew that what she said was indeed a bit too much, and then continued, "But how could the emperor force Hanxiang in this way? Besides, Hanxiang doesn't like the emperor in the first place."

Ziwei looked at Xiaoyanzi helplessly and sighed softly, "That being said, now that things have come to this, Hanxiang has no choice but to accept her fate."

"Yes." Ertai nodded heavily. "Ziwei is right. Hanxiang was forced to become the emperor's concubine. If Hanxiang had not been willing, the war would have continued. How many soldiers and civilians would have died. So only sacrificing Hanxiang can bring an end to the war."

Xiaoyanzi was surprised after hearing this. "This is too outrageous. How can you treat a woman as a bargaining chip? Besides, a woman is not an object. How can you just pass her around? If you rely on a woman for stability, then such stability is worse than nothing."

Unknowingly.

Two carriages had already stopped at the palace gate.

Everyone got off the carriage one after another.

Then he immediately walked towards the Cining Palace.

On the way.

Ziwei couldn't help but say, "The old Buddha must be furious right now. The old Buddha values etiquette the most. Now that Hanxiang has stabbed the emperor, this alone is enough reason for the old Buddha to take Hanxiang's life."

Erkang followed up and said, "Ziwei is right, so everyone must act according to the circumstances. Also, Qing'er is pregnant now, so Qing'er must not be careful."

Ziwei then looked at Xiaoyanzi and reminded her, "And when we get to the Cining Palace, Xiaoyanzi, you mustn't say anything nonsense. Especially those remarks you made in the carriage just now, you mustn't repeat them, understand?"

Xiaoyanzi nodded and said, "Ziwei, don't worry. No matter what happens, I won't get angry with myself. I won't say anything nonsense."

In Cining Palace.

Hanxiang knelt on the ground.

The Empress Dowager looked at Hanxiang sternly and asked, "Tell the truth. Why did you want to assassinate the Emperor? Did Ali Khoja send you to the palace for some other purpose?"

Hanxiang quickly shook her head and replied, "My Lord...I didn't mean to hurt the Emperor. Please believe me."
