The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

But Fei Wan was still looking at him timidly with tears in her eyes.

He didn't dare to look, so he took a look and lowered his head.

Take another look, then lower your head again.

It looked like a stray kitten afraid of being beaten.

Doctor Liu had a dark face and examined Fei Wan's hand with very light force.

Then let her switch to the other hand.

This time, Fei Wan was not satisfied with just one handkerchief, so she had to cover herself with another one.

"My lady, the human pulse is inherently weak. If you use too much handkerchief as a cushion, I'm afraid my diagnosis will be wrong." Doctor Liu said in a deep voice with patience.

"Then...okay..."

Fei Wan took off one part of the handkerchief with a wronged look, leaving only the bottom part, and tugged at the four corners nervously, as if she was afraid that someone would see her wrist.

"My lord, please breathe steadily."

Doctor Liu frowned and reminded.

Fei Wan sniffed and responded quietly.

Doctor Liu waited until her nervous breathing calmed down before he listened to her pulse carefully, which took a while.

When he finally withdrew his hand, Fei Wan quickly withdrew her wrist, stood up, and fled back to the inner room.

"Someone, escort Imperial Physician Liu and Eunuch Sun out."

She staggered forward, holding onto her maid's hand.

However, Eunuch Sun caught up with him and stopped him outside the inner room door.

"Master Zhao, your knee injury is serious, but you haven't seen a doctor yet."

Eunuch Sun looked meaningfully.

It’s not that easy to hide.

"Eunuch, can you please let me see the judge from the Academy of Literature?" Fei Wan said in an almost pleading tone.

"My Lady Zhao, Imperial Physician Liu was personally appointed by the Empress Dowager. Are you dissatisfied?"

"I...I don't dare..."

Fei Wan cried and said aggrievedly, "But... Doctor Liu is still young and a stranger. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for him to see my knees."

"Isn't Doctor Wen a waifu? Doctors don't care about gender. If my lady says so, then people from the Imperial Hospital will not be able to treat the concubines in the future." Eunuch Sun spoke harshly.

He was the butler serving the Queen Mother, and he was out doing things on her behalf. He didn't need to show much respect to a low-ranking noble.

Fei Wan quietly defended herself, "But Doctor Wen is old after all, and different from the younger doctors. I still think it's safer to let him see him..."

"My lady, I will go back and report to the Queen Mother that you insist on not seeing a doctor."

"No, no... I dare not disobey the Queen Mother's order, I just..."

Fei Wan looked at Doctor Liu awkwardly, and finally lowered her head and agreed reluctantly.

So she sat back down.

Prepare to let the maid lift up the skirt.

Seeing that Doctor Liu was standing by, she lowered her head in shame and asked him to turn around.

"Eunuch Sun, please step aside as well."

Eunuch Sun stared at her impatiently and turned away.

Fei Wan made sure that both of them had their backs turned before she lifted her skirt and rolled up her soft silk panties, revealing her legs below the knees.

A pair of calves as white as cream, with smooth lines and firm skin.

Seeing this, Wu Xiangrong swallowed her saliva.

After she came to her senses, she wondered what she was craving.

"younger sister……"

She was quite worried because Feiwan's knee was fine, not red or swollen, with only a slight bruise that was almost negligible.

But before he could finish his words, he saw Fei Wan pinching and rubbing his knees a few times using some unknown technique. Two blue-black spots quickly appeared under his knees, with some purple-red bruises on the edges. It was really scary.

Wu Xiangrong quickly changed her tone and played along, "Sister, your injury is really serious!"

Eunuch Sun turned around to look when he heard the voice.

Fei Wan exclaimed, "Don't look, wait a moment, I'll cover my legs!"

Eunuch Sun had no choice but to turn around and go back.

Who wants to look at you?

We have a eunuch, and you scream like you're being molested, it's really...

As expected, she is so charming!

Fei Wan asked the maid to bring a towel and wrapped her calves except the knees tightly, leaving no skin exposed. Only then did she allow Eunuch Sun and Doctor Liu to turn around.

The two turned around and saw that the large bruise was indeed a bit scary.

Eunuch Sun turned his gaze and said with a smile, "Doctor Liu, I heard that a hot compress is best for injuries like this. Why don't you apply one to Lady Zhao right now?"

Doctor Liu understood and agreed.

Eunuch Sun ordered Fei Wan's palace maid to bring hot water and towels.

Xiang Yi said, "Eunuch Sun, you don't know. The judge of the Wenyuan Court said that the young lady's injuries are not just on the surface. The tendons and bones are damaged inside. Because the young lady is weak, hot compresses will only accumulate dampness and heat in the wound, which is not conducive to recovery."

But how could Eunuch Sun listen to such an excuse?

Insist on applying heat immediately.

This time he wanted to verify whether Fei Wan's injury was fake, so how could he let Fei Wan get away with it.

Fei Wan finally compromised and asked people to do as he said.

Hot water and a towel were brought over at once. Eunuch Sun gave a look and Doctor Liu dipped the towel in water and placed it on Fei Wan's knees.

"……what!"

Fei Wan's eyes turned red with grievance.

Said it was too hot.

Doctor Liu took the towel away, let it air for a while, and then covered the wound with it again.

I also rubbed it hard twice.

Fei Wan sobbed softly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her body trembled:

"Doctor Liu, please be gentle... It really hurts... I, I can't bear it anymore!"

Xiang Yi and Xiao Hui knelt on the ground one after another: "Please, doctor, let my young lady go! Please have mercy! My young lady is too weak to withstand such vigorous rubbing!"

Wu Xiangrong stamped her feet anxiously, "Doctor Liu, since you entered the Imperial Hospital, haven't you learned the etiquette of examining concubines?... How can Sister Zhao face others in the future if you continue like this?"

Several people behaved like this.

Doctor Liu was so angry that his face turned red.

He thought to himself that it was no wonder that the Empress Dowager said that Concubine Zhao was a vixen, and asked him to examine her carefully.

How could a proper concubine behave like this!

What did he do? He just wiped the dark spots with a wet towel to see if they were painted on with dye...

It seems like he has done something extraordinary!

After finally persevering and completing the "hot compress", he rubbed it several times but couldn't get the bruise off, and confirmed that it was not the color of the painting.

When the wet wipes were removed, Fei Wan had already collapsed on the chair in pain, breathing rapidly, with cold sweat on her forehead.

"My lord... My lord, you have suffered!"

Xiangyi and Xiaohui were already crying their eyes out.

All the palace servants in Guanlan Courtyard who heard the noise outside the house knelt on the ground.

It was as if Fei Wan had suffered a great injustice.

Eunuch Sun and Imperial Physician Liu both looked unhappy, very unhappy.

Doctor Liu had already come this far, so he naturally wanted to do a full examination. He insisted on holding Fei Wan's legs and guiding her to do various lifting and bending movements to determine the extent of the injury.

He was angry, so he didn't hold back.

Fei Wan screamed in pain.

Finally, Imperial Physician Liu stood up and angrily told Eunuch Sun, "Mrs. Zhao is too fragile. She complains of pain no matter what. The severity of her injury is naturally difficult to judge."

Eunuch Sun asked, "Then how should I prescribe medicine, how should I treat the disease, and how long should I rest?"

"Since Miss Zhao was able to walk just now, there is no need to worry. I am only prescribing some painkillers for you."

He casually wrote a prescription, without even leaving a plaster, and then left.

Obviously very angry.

Eunuch Sun said goodbye with a forced smile, "Take good care of Miss Zhao. I will go report to the Queen Mother."

After the two of them left Guanlan Courtyard, they could still faintly hear Fei Wan crying.

"Master Liu, tell me the truth, how is Concubine Zhao's injury? Is it serious?"

"Eunuch Sun also saw it. She was mostly pretending. How could I judge clearly? Judging from the way she stood and walked at the gate at the beginning, her injuries were not serious."

"Are you sure it's not heavy?"

"Yes."

So the two of them returned to Ciyu Palace and replied to the empress dowager in this way.

The Empress Dowager sneered, "I knew she was probably just pretending. Such a coquettish woman is always good at gaining sympathy, and yet the Emperor fell for her trick!"

No one dared to respond.

No one present except the empress dowager could criticize the emperor.

After a while, Nanny Shixiang said tentatively, "Empress Dowager, tomorrow is your birthday. Why should we get angry over someone who is not worth it? You might as well let her go. She is just a minor noblewoman, of humble origins. Even if she is charming, what can she do? After a while, if you find someone new, Your Majesty might forget about her."

"A foxy charmer of humble origins..." A hint of murderous intent flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes. "Shixiang, don't forget that Madam Chenxiang back then was also a foxy charmer of humble origins."

Ten fragrant and refreshing.

I dare not persuade him anymore.

Lady Chenxiang, the favorite concubine of the previous emperor, was a geisha who rose to power.

It caused a lot of trouble to the Empress Dowager back then.

Although he died in an unclear manner, Chenxiang became a sinking pond, and his fragrance disappeared in the water...

The thorn in the Queen Mother's heart is still there.

The Queen Mother was seen pondering for a moment.

Suddenly, he said, "Since Consort Zhao is seriously injured, don't overwork yourself. Pass on my imperial decree, ordering Consort Zhao to recuperate for three months. She doesn't need to attend birthday banquets, sleep with me, or pay respects to others until she is healed."

"Yes, I will convey your order right away."

Eunuch Sun was dissatisfied with Fei Wan's lack of cooperation in the medical consultation today and was eager to see her get into trouble, so he immediately ran out to convey his order.

Doctor Liu was also very relieved.

Nanny Shixiang remained calm and served tea to the Dowager. "Alright, now that she's dealt with, you can enjoy your birthday with peace of mind. Tomorrow, all the ladies and relatives will come to the palace to celebrate your birthday, and you'll be so happy!"

The Queen Mother drank her tea slowly, her expression easing slightly.

It's impossible for a mere nobleman to flirt with her!

"Sister Zhao, is your leg really okay?"

Guanlan Courtyard.

After Sun Liu and the others left, Wu Xiangrong was so worried she refused to leave. Although she knew Fei Wan was pretending, she looked so miserable that she felt uneasy.

Fei Wan stood up and took two steps to show her.

Wu Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Amitabha, I'm glad you're okay!"

Fei Wan slowly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and straightened her clothes, not at all shy about showing off her little skills in front of Wu Xiangrong.

She was very skilled at rubbing acupuncture points to instantly turn her skin purple, adjusting the frequency of her internal breath to quickly make herself break out in a cold sweat, and also at making her face and ears blush instantly.

"Sister, do you want to learn?"

She is also willing to teach the other party.

After a few things happened, everyone was in the same boat and there was nothing to hide.

Fei Wan no longer needs to maintain a good image in front of Wu Xiangrong and Zhishu.

But Wu Xiangrong shook his head and refused to learn.

"Even if I learned these, I wouldn't be as calm as my sister, and using them would only reveal my true colors."

She was very aware that she was far inferior to Fei Wan.

"Sister, you kept me here not just to let me witness how Eunuch Sun and Imperial Physician Liu bullied you, right?" she asked directly, "What do you need me to do next? Tell me now!"

She couldn't wait to cooperate with Fei Wan.

She always felt excited and accomplished when she followed Sister Zhao to plot against others.
