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

If Qiao Xi had only been suspicious before, she was now certain that there was something strange about Concubine Shu's sudden expression.

You know, her body won't lie in front of the doctor.

Even if she denies it, all her lies will be exposed as soon as her pulse is taken.

However, Qiao Xi was smart enough not to argue with her.

She deliberately didn't tell the truth, so there was no point in arguing.

"In that case, Your Majesty, you only need to stop the medicine I gave you.

Then, use the water I have prepared for you and wash your face according to the method I have told you. After three days, your face will definitely feel better."

"Three days? Can it be effective so soon?"

That's not what those old guys in the Imperial Hospital said.

Even if I use the ointment they gave me, it will take at least half a month for it to be effective.

"Of course, but the prerequisite is that you, Madam Shufei, can do exactly what I say. First, stop taking all the medicines. Remember, all of them. Second, remember to wash your face."

Thinking about how the emperor had obviously become much colder towards her after her face was disfigured in the past two days, Concubine Ruan Yunheng gritted her teeth and made a decision.

"In about three days, I will trust you once again. If it doesn't work, you can wait for my decision.

Then tell me, does it start today or tomorrow?"

"today!"

The sooner the better. If it starts later, her departure from the palace will be delayed.

"The ointment on my face—"

"I will prepare some water right away. Please ask Her Majesty to have some clean, undyed cotton cloth cut into two palm-sized pieces and scald them with freshly boiled water.

Then let it cool and set aside.”

Ruan Yunheng nodded, and without her saying much, the palace maids beside her hurried to prepare.

Qiao Xi asked the palace maid for a clean basin and then returned to her room.

By the way, Li Wen, who was standing at the door, didn't need to worry and could just go back to his room and wait.

After a while, she came out of her room carrying a basin of clean water and went to Concubine Ruan Yunheng.

When she arrived, the palace maids had prepared the cotton towels she wanted.

"It may be a little uncomfortable, please be patient."

As she spoke, Qiao Xi picked up a cotton towel, dipped it in the water she had fetched, and carefully cleaned the ointment on Concubine Ruan Yunheng's face and wiped her face.

She wiped it very carefully and meticulously, not leaving out any part of Ruan Yunheng's skin.

Until the water in the basin has lost its original clean appearance.

"Alright, from now on, please don't put anything on your face or wash it anymore. And of course, don't take anything with any medication.

Pastries that have some functions cannot be eaten either.

Tomorrow, I will wash your face again at this time."

After saying that, Qiao Xi took the basin of water and was about to leave.

But just as she retreated to the door, she heard the eunuch's shrill voice outside the hall.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Qiao Xi was blocked at the entrance of the palace, with nowhere to retreat. She could only put down the basin, kneel down and wait for the emperor to pass by.

Seeing a pair of bright yellow boots coming in front of him, he thought they would pass by quickly, but unexpectedly, the pair of bright yellow boots stopped moving.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you come in yet? Are you disgusted by my face?"

Ruan Yunheng covered her face again and saw the emperor stop in front of Qiao Xi. Her heart skipped a beat and the corners of her mouth drooped in displeasure.

But with her face covered, no one could notice the change in her expression.

Seeing that the emperor hadn't moved, Ruan Yunheng couldn't help but soften her voice and twisted her body to come over:

"Your Majesty, do you really dislike my face? Or were all those words you said before about loving me just lies?"

With the soft jade in his arms, Ren Xuanyong withdrew his gaze from Qiao Xi, hugged the delicate girl in his arms and walked into the hall, smiling and saying:

"What are you talking about, my beloved concubine? If I were to deceive you, why would I come to you right after reviewing the memorials?"

How is it? Did Xu Qiao treat you again? How was the treatment?

As he spoke, Ren Xuanyong shouted to Qiao Xi, who was kneeling at the door, "Xu Qiao, come in and answer the question."

"Yes!"

Hearing the emperor's call, Qiao Xi had no choice but to turn back obediently.

Just as he was about to kneel down, he was stopped by the emperor:

"No need to kneel, just stand and answer."

When Ruan Yunheng heard this, her body, which was leaning against Ren Xuanyong, stiffened for a moment, but soon softened again.

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please ask me. I would like to be alone with you for a while."

Ruan Yunheng hugged Ren Xuanyong and acted coquettishly.

Ren Xuanyong: "I asked her questions because I was worried about your health. Don't worry, when your face is better, you will have plenty of time to be alone with me."

As he spoke, he teasingly pinched Ruan Yunheng's soft waist with his hand.

The touch of the delicate skin made him breathe hard, but when he saw the face behind the veil, all interest was gone.

"Xu Qiao, are you sure you can cure Concubine Shu's face?"

"Yes, I have just told Her Majesty Shufei that as long as you follow my advice, your complexion will definitely improve in three days."

"Three days? Well, that's good."

Three days was not a long time. During these three days, he went to visit other concubines and the time was up.

It's just a pity that this beauty in front of me is already a married woman, otherwise——

Ruan Yunheng noticed that the emperor's gaze was on Qiao Xi again, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Her delicate hands kept exploring Ren Xuanyong's body, trying to draw his attention back to herself:

"Your Majesty, Xu Qiao still needs to prepare medicine for me, please see..."

Ren Xuanyong's breathing became a little disordered due to her deliberate seduction:

"In that case, Xu Qiao, go down and make good preparations."

Seeing this, Qiao Xi didn't dare to stay for a moment and turned around and left quickly.

……

At the beginning of the You hour, Ruan Yunheng saw the emperor off.

"My Lady, would you like the meal to be served?"

The nanny stood outside the screen and asked for instructions.

Ruan Yunheng put on her clothes, rinsed her mouth with water, and then said quietly:

"Send it over. Send something light and don't ask them to bring any meaty dishes."

"Yes!"

The nanny responded and gave the order.

Concubine Ruan Yunheng rubbed her aching wrist, her eyes full of pride:

Humph, even though her face is disfigured now, she can still keep the emperor.

As long as she is there, no other woman can take away the emperor's favor.

And as for Xu Qiao, if what her father said in the letter was true, she had to think about how to use her for her own benefit.

……

Qiao Xi was treating Ruan Yunheng's face in Shujing Palace while waiting for her third senior brother Ren Qingzhou.

Until the third day, the person she was waiting for still did not show up.

It seems that Ren Qingzhou is not in Baidi City.

The key point is that the master did not show up either. Could it be that the master is not in Baidi City either?

Also, what is the current situation with Xu Yi?

When she thought of this, Qiao Xi couldn't wait to hear Ruan Yunheng's people calling her over.

Whatever you put your mind to, you will eventually achieve.

As soon as she had this idea, Ruan Yunheng's people appeared.

Qiao Xi followed the nanny to Ruan Yunheng.

Just like the previous two days, I used the spiritual water in the space to clean her face.

After cleaning her face, Qiao Xi bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, your face has healed. From now on, you only need to wash your face according to the method I have used for the past three days. You still cannot take any medicine until your face is healed."

"Yeah, okay!" Ruan Yunheng looked at herself in the mirror, stroked her cheek, and nodded.

"Your Majesty, you are well now. Can you please let me go home? I have some urgent matters to attend to at home!"

"Return home? Xu Qiao, what do you think of my Shujing Palace?"
