The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 340

The moment the veil fell, the room became silent.

The dense red spots on Qiao Xi's face were clearly visible in broad daylight.

That face was extremely terrifying.

Even the nose was not spared, destroying the originally beautiful face beyond recognition.

The fingers hidden in the sleeves of Concubine Ruan Yunheng suddenly loosened, and out of surprise, the gilded armor unconsciously scratched several fine marks on the table.

"Girl's face..." There was just the right amount of surprise in her voice, but her body leaned back as if frightened.

Qiao Xi hurriedly picked up the silk scarf covering her face, then bowed to Concubine Ruan Yunheng, her voice muffled within the scarf:

"I'm sorry to have frightened you, Your Majesty! I don't know what happened to me a few days ago, but I woke up like this this morning."

As she spoke, she scratched her neck again. Because her nails were a bit sharp, her delicate neck immediately had several fresh bloodstains.

Ruan Yunheng: "Miss, why didn't you check your pulse? Such a beautiful face, what if it gets disfigured?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Qingzhou suddenly took a half step forward, the jade pendant on his waist jingling, and stood in front of Qiao Xi.

"Empress Shufei, you know that doctors don't treat themselves. Junior Sister's allergies came on strangely, but she was worried about taking your pulse, so it took some time.

As Her Majesty the Concubine said just now, it would be bad if her appearance was disfigured. We will take our leave now so that we can properly treat Junior Sister."

Ruan Yunheng listened to Qingzhou's words while glancing at the clock beside her. She estimated that the emperor was about to arrive, and suddenly covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed softly:

"Miss, it's important to treat your face. Besides, I'm a little tired, so please do as you please."

Hearing this, Ren Qingzhou hurriedly took Li Wen and Qiao Xi to pay their respects and leave.

Soon after they left Shujing Palace, they heard the eunuch's shrill announcement from outside the palace.

……

Ren Qingzhou and the other three walked a certain distance away from Shujing Palace. Only then did Qiao Xi use her hands to tidy up her messy hair and wipe away the sweat from her temples.

It was so dangerous just now, luckily she was prepared in advance.

But only she herself knows why her face looks like this.

Ren Qingzhou and Li Wen, who were walking in front, had no idea.

The two of them suddenly stopped and looked at Qiao Xi with worried eyes.

Ren Qingzhou: "Junior sister, please let Third Brother see your face. You were fine yesterday, why are you so...

Think about it quickly. What have you eaten since this morning? Also, are you feeling unwell now?

Li Wen: "Little Junior Sister, come quickly, let Senior Brother take your pulse. There are some pills in this medicine box, I wonder if there are any that can be used.

If your face is not healed or gets scarred, your third senior brother and I will be guilty.

Even if we both destroyed our faces, it would still not be as beautiful as Junior Sister's."

Seeing how nervous they were, Qiao Xi chuckled, then lifted the silk scarf covering her face and dropped a pill into her mouth.

The pill melted in her mouth, and in a short while, the horrible red spots on her face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What kind of medicine is this? It's so effective!" Ren Qingzhou supported his chin with one hand and carefully checked whether Qiao Xi's face was really safe.

"But it's a good thing you used this medicine, otherwise there would be a lot more trouble for Concubine De and Concubine Shu."

"Then I have to thank you, Third Senior Brother, for your silk scarf."

Before Qiao Xi finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps from behind.

A shrill voice shouted, "Third Prince, please slow down. The Concubine Shu has a message for you and the other two accompanying people. Third Prince—"

When Qiao Xi heard the word "Shufei", she hurriedly covered her face with a silk scarf again to block the view of outsiders.

……

Ruan Yunheng, who was in Shujing Palace, leaned on a lacquered and gilded medicine pillow, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the two porcelain bottles in her palms.

Not long after she took the medicine, the hidden pain that had been lingering for years receded like the tide.

The effect of this medicine is actually——

"Someone!" She clutched the tassels of the bed curtains tightly. "Quickly call the imperial physician."

Just as he finished speaking, the palace door was suddenly pushed open. The moment the corner of the bright yellow robe brushed past the threshold, Ruan Yunheng quickly changed his expression to a weak one: "Your Majesty, what's wrong..."

"My beloved, I remember that it's time to take your pulse. So, I've brought the imperial physician here."

Xuan Yong, the head of Tianle State, said this and waved his hand to signal the imperial physician to come forward.

"Doctor Li, why don't you take a look at Concubine Shu quickly?"

While having the imperial physician feel her pulse, Concubine Ruan Yunheng said leisurely, "Your Majesty, I just got two medicines that are said to be good for your health.

I was just thinking of asking the imperial physician to take a look, and you brought the imperial physician with you. Tell me, are we in perfect sync?"

"I am thinking of my beloved concubine, and my beloved concubine is thinking of me, so of course we are in perfect sync."

"Doctor Li, what do you think of the medicine?"

Doctor Li had not yet finished taking the emperor's pulse when he heard the emperor's order from Ren Xuanyong. He had to stop taking the pulse, took the porcelain bottles, opened them one by one, and put them to his nose to sniff.

After just one sniff, his eyes widened instantly, and his face showed surprise and delight, with surprise obviously more than delight.

"Excuse me, Madam Shufei, where did you get this medicine? Do you have any extra? Could you give me two to take away for research?"

Although Ruan Yunheng did not hear a clear answer from the imperial physician, just by looking at the imperial physician's reaction, she knew that there was nothing wrong with the medicine and it was a good thing.

This way, she can use it with confidence.

When she raised her eyes, her gaze unexpectedly met that of the imperial physician and Emperor Ren Xuanyong, and she told them that Qiao Xi had treated her.

Then he thought that Ren Qingzhou and others might not have gone far, so he hurriedly ordered the palace servants to catch up with them and bring a message: repeatedly emphasize that Li Wen must bring Qiao Xi with him when he enters the palace in the future.

……

After hearing the eunuch's message, Ren Qingzhou snorted softly. Without letting Qiao Xi speak, he directly said to the eunuch:

"Go back and tell Concubine Shu that my junior sister will stay in Baidi City for an unknown period of time. As long as she is still in Baidi City and has nothing else to do, she will follow my senior brother here."

After hearing his words, the young eunuch bowed respectfully and took his leave.

After watching the young eunuch walk away and seeing that there was no one around, Ren Qingzhou looked at Qiao Xi and Li Wen and whispered:

"Junior sister, if you don't want to come here anymore, just say it. Don't take her seriously.

If she really comes looking for you or makes things difficult for you, your Third Senior Brother and your First Senior Brother are here, so you don't have to worry about it."

Qiao Xi knew that Ren Qingzhou was not being polite when he said this, but was really doing it for her own good, so she smiled and thanked him:

"Thank you very much, brothers. However, I always finish what I start.

Now that we have started, there is no reason to give up halfway."

Since she wanted to see it, Ren Qingzhou and Li Wen naturally wouldn't stop her. At worst, they would just accompany her every time she came.

With no one to stop them, the three continued walking towards Donghua Gate.

As soon as they walked out of Donghua Gate, Qiao Xi saw a familiar figure coming towards them.

This person was not someone else, but Kuzhu who had always been following Shen Qingyan!

Could something have happened? Otherwise, why would Kuzhu find this place?
