Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

Dongxue felt pain and tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and ran out.

"Waste!" Concubine Ling spat, glaring at La Mei impatiently, "Hurry up and put on my makeup."

La Mei's hand trembled violently, and she almost dropped the delicate little box in her hand. She quickly calmed herself down and quickly took out a piece of special white powder that was as white as snow and exuded a faint fragrance from the box. She carefully dipped her fingers in some of it and gently and delicately applied it on Concubine Ling's delicate face that was as delicate as a petal.

Concubine Ling held a bronze mirror and studied herself carefully. Suddenly, her gaze stopped at a tiny wrinkle at the corner of her eye. Her brow, which had been relaxed, furrowed tightly, and her expression grew increasingly gloomy and angry. "Tomorrow morning, you will immediately ask the Imperial Hospital to find me something to remove my wrinkles! Also, apply a few more layers of this powder! Make sure it's completely covered, not even a trace can be seen!" With that, she slammed the bronze mirror onto the table.

Lamei's heart tightened upon hearing this, but she didn't dare slack off in applying her foundation. Instead, she became even more cautious. She knew how much her master valued her appearance, and if she made even the slightest mistake, she would be punished again.

At this moment, the entire bedroom was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Elsewhere, Dongxue finally arrived at Kunning Palace, breathless and stumbling. Seeing Li Yu standing in the courtyard, she felt like she had grabbed a lifeline. She rushed forward in two steps, eagerly calling out, "Master Li, where is the Emperor now? Concubine Ling has suddenly suffered a heart attack and is in unbearable pain. I have sent this servant to implore the Emperor to visit her!"

Hearing this, Rong Mama, who was standing by, was so angry that she trembled all over. What an ignorant Concubine Ling! The Empress had rarely received the Emperor's favor, and she dared to be so presumptuous as to chase directly to Kunning Palace to snatch the Emperor's carriage. What a shameless bitch!

Just as Rong Mama was about to open her mouth to scold, she was gently pulled back by the person next to her, who gave her a disarming look.

After Li Yu nodded slightly to Madam Rong, he turned around and looked at Dongxue with an embarrassed expression, and said softly: "It's really unfortunate that the Emperor and the Empress have already gone to bed. In my opinion, Miss Dongxue should go back first, and I will send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician." After that, he sighed helplessly, as if he was at a loss as to what to do about the situation before him.

Dongxue fell to her knees and pleaded, "Master Li, please inform her that Concubine Ling is really waiting for the Emperor."

"Li Yu! Get in here! What the hell is going on outside?" A deafening roar suddenly rang out from the house, breaking through the sky like thunder.

Li Yu was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He glared at Dongxue fiercely, then rushed into the house in a panic. He stood respectfully outside the screen, head lowered, and reported tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling just sent someone to say that she is suffering from severe heart palpitations. I beg Your Majesty to go and see her."

Li Yu's heart was pounding like a deer, his nerves were pounding, and he was so nervous that beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. You know, if it were any other time, the emperor would have rushed to visit without hesitation upon hearing about this, but at this moment...

Qianlong was immersed in the charming body fragrance of the beauty beside him, feeling quite happy. However, when he heard Li Yu's report, he seemed extremely irritated and impatient, frowning, and said in a bad mood: "If you are sick, just go to the imperial physician for treatment. I am not a doctor, what can I do? Get out of here! If you bother me again, don't blame me for being ruthless, I will chop off your heads!" After that, Qianlong continued to enjoy the warmth of the people around him, not taking Concubine Ling's illness to heart at all.

"As you command, I will arrange for the imperial physician to come and see him." Li Yu retreated cautiously from the room, as if he had been pardoned, fearing that even the slightest noise would displease the emperor. Just as he was about to step over the threshold, he faintly heard the empress's gentle and melodious voice coming from the inner chamber.

The Queen only heard the Queen's gentle persuasion: "Your Majesty, are you really not going to visit Sister Ling Fei? She has always been in poor health, and now she is seriously ill. What if something happens to her? I am really worried." Although the Queen's heart was already burning with anger, the words she spoke were still gentle and full of concern.

In the land of gentleness and the tomb of heroes, how could Qianlong care about Concubine Ling in his mind? "Xian'er, it seems you are not tired yet. Let's continue."

"Your Majesty~~"

Li Yu curled the corners of his lips and said with a forced smile, "Did you hear that? The Emperor doesn't have time to go over there. I'll have someone call for the imperial physician right away. Concubine Ling is weak, so it would be better to invite a few more doctors to consult together."

Dongxue fell to the ground, desperate and not knowing what to do. If the Empress knew that she hadn't brought the Emperor back, who knows how she would attack her! She couldn't send all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital over, in case the Empress's true condition was exposed.

She used all her strength, her hands trembling as she supported herself, and struggled to stand. She forced a smile and said, "No need. Imperial Physician Hu has always been in charge of the Empress's illness. He's the only one who knows how to prescribe the right medicine. The other imperial physicians are usually busy, so it's inconvenient to trouble them."

As soon as she finished speaking, she staggered and walked towards the door unsteadily, not giving Li Yu a chance to respond.

Seeing this, Rong Mama was secretly delighted, and her wrinkled old face relaxed a little. She deliberately raised her voice and shouted, "Miss Dongxue, it's late, the road is long, and the light is dim. You must be careful!" Hearing this, Dongxue bit her lip tightly and quickened her pace.

Elsewhere, Ziwei sat quietly cross-legged in a dark, deep cave beneath a rockery in the Imperial Garden. A faint but distinct green light emanated from her body, like a thin veil gently covering her.

Those green dots sparkling with mysterious brilliance were like naughty elves, jumping out from the stamens and green leaves, and running towards her happily.

The spiritual energy here is really abundant, which really lived up to her efforts of racking her brains and finding ways to avoid the patrol teams and come here with great effort.
