Ren Xuanyong's appreciation of beauty was interrupted, and the anger he had accumulated because of Concubine Ruan Yunheng burst out at this moment:

"A mere maid actually dares to tell me what to do. She must be tired of living. Come, drag her out and beat her to death."

Qiao Xi knew that the emperor was taking advantage of the situation, but she was powerless to stop him because she was also the fish on the chopping board at that moment.

However, what needs to be said still needs to be said.

"I also ask Your Majesty to allow me to take the pulse of Concubine Shu once more.

If it is really caused by the medicine I took, I will end my life myself and will never trouble the Emperor and the Concubine Shu.

If Concubine Shu is unwilling, I can also communicate with the imperial physician who treats Concubine Shu.

The most urgent task right now is to find out the cause of Concubine Shu's disfigurement so that we can provide proper treatment and preserve her beautiful face."

"Okay, since you're speaking so sincerely, I'll give you a chance to heal Concubine Shu's face.

However, during the treatment period, you can only stay in this Shujing Palace."

Ren Xuanyong stood up,

"I still have memorials to review, Concubine Shu, please cooperate with her and try to get your face healed as soon as possible."

After saying that, he walked out of Shujing Palace.

When the emperor left, everyone in the hall respectfully saw him off.

Ren Xuanyong took a few steps and suddenly stopped, as if he had forgotten something.

He turned around, looked at Qiao Xi and said slowly:

"What's your name?"

"A commoner girl named Xu Qiao."

Qiao Xi originally wanted to say her own name, but when the emperor asked just now, she inexplicably used the three words "Xu Qiaoshi" instead.

Ren Xuanyong frowned: "Xu Qiao? Are you already married?"

"Yes!"

"Humph!"

Hearing that Qiao Xi did not deny it, Ren Xuanyong's expression, which had just improved, suddenly darkened again. He snorted coldly and left in a huff.

Ever since Concubine Ruan Yunheng discovered that Qiao Xi was not wearing a mask, she asked the people around her to pay attention to any movements outside the screen.

So after the emperor left in anger, a palace maid immediately reported to her everything that had just happened.

"Mammy, I have something for you to do. If you do it well, you will be rewarded handsomely!"

Nanny was hers, so it was only natural for her to do things for her. Plus, with the extra reward, she was naturally even more motivated to do the work.

As soon as Ruan Yunheng finished giving her instructions, she hurried out of Jiuque.

After the nanny left, Ruan Yunheng, who was behind the screen, was helped out by the palace maid.

"Your Majesty, I will diagnose your pulse right now!"

When Qiao Xi saw her come out, she hurried forward with the pulse pillow.

But just as he was about to put down the pulse pillow, he was stopped by Concubine Ruan Yunheng.

"What do you mean by this, ma'am?"

Qiao Xi was a little confused.

"Oh, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable now. Please treat me when I feel better."

Wait until she feels comfortable? When will she feel comfortable?

Qiao Xi frowned, somewhat displeased with Concubine Ruan Yunheng's unreasonable behavior.

But she knew that no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't show it.

Glancing at the still kneeling senior brother, Qiao Xi lowered her eyebrows:

"Your Highness, this medicine was made by me and has nothing to do with my senior brother. Your Highness, could you please let my senior brother get up?"

Ruan Yunheng glanced at Li Wen, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and said lazily:

"Master Li, please get up. Master Li, remember this time. This place is not like any random family out there. Not everyone can be brought to me for treatment."

"Yes, I remember it."

Li Wen agreed with her words, but he thought to himself: Oh, after this incident, if he treats her again, he would be crazy or stupid.

Not to mention treating her, he wouldn't be able to treat this empress with such powerful skills in the future, so let the imperial doctors take care of her.

Li Wen came to Qiao Xi and gave her an apologetic look.

Qiao Xi saw it, smiled, and told him with her expression that he didn't need to worry about her.

If it was really her medicine that was the problem, then it meant her medical skills were not up to par yet. She needed to learn more.

Besides, if the pills don't work, she still has the spiritual water in the space. That water alone can heal Concubine Ruan Yunheng's face.

"Madam Shufei, are you feeling better now?"

Thinking of what the emperor had just said, that she could not leave Shujing Palace during the treatment of Concubine Shu, and the situation on Xu Yi's side was unclear, she now just wanted to quickly cure Concubine Shu and get her out of these nine palaces.

"Why are you rushing me? I'll tell you when I feel better. Someone, go and arrange two rooms for them. Let them leave when I feel better."

"Yes!"

The palace maid walked towards Qiao Xi and Li Wen, "You two, please follow the maid!"

Even if Qiao Xi was anxious to get out at this moment, she had to endure it.

The rooms arranged by the palace servants for Qiao Xi and Li Wen were adjacent to each other.

As soon as the palace maid left, Qiao Xi knocked on Li Wen's door.

"Big Brother, when will Third Brother be able to come?"

Li Wen shook his head: "I don't know either. I just know that he has something to deal with in the past two days."

Qiao Xi: "Is he in Baidi City?"

As long as we are in Baidi City, we shouldn't be too late.

Li Wen shook his head again: "I don't know either."

The brothers were all busy with their own things. If it weren't for her arrival, they wouldn't have been able to get together this time.

Hearing this, Qiao Xi sighed: "Then we can only rely on ourselves."

What on earth was Ruan Yunheng up to? As a concubine, shouldn't she be very concerned about her face? Why didn't she want to take her pulse herself?

Or is there something else going on?

……

At the end of noon, Ruan Yunheng finally received the news.

Looking at the contents of the letter in her hand, she couldn't help but smile: God really helps her.

"Madam, please have someone bring that Xu Qiao here so she can take my pulse."

The nanny bowed and hurriedly arranged for someone to do it.

Qiao Xi and Li Wen had lunch together.

So when the palace maid came to call Qiao Xi, Li Wen heard it and wanted to go with them.

The palace maids could not make the decision, but thinking that he had taken the pulse of his master before, they tacitly agreed to let him go.

Ruan Yunheng frowned slightly when he saw Li Wen and said in a cold voice:

"I didn't ask Master Li to come here. Please wait outside the palace."

As he said this, he waved his hand to signal the palace servants to invite Li Wen out of Shujing Palace.

Seeing Li Wen's worry, Qiao Xi gave him a calming look.

Seeing this, Li Wen could only obey and wait outside Shujing Palace.

"Aren't you in a hurry to check my pulse? What are you still doing standing there?"

Ruan Yunheng's cold voice rang out in Shujing Palace.

When Qiao Xi heard this, she was afraid that she would change her mind, so she hurried forward with a pulse pillow to take her pulse.

After a moment, Qiao Xi put away the pulse pillow, and she already understood Concubine Ruan Yunheng's symptoms.

"My Lady, there's nothing wrong with your face. It's just that the medicine I gave you earlier conflicted with the other medicines you were taking, which is why this happened.

As long as she stops taking the medicine for a few days, her complexion will naturally improve."

"Oh, I thought you were quite capable. I didn't expect that this is all you have.

Xu Qiao, I want to tell you that I haven't taken any other medicine besides the one you gave me. So, where does the conflict between the medicines come from?
