The Ugly Concubine Strikes Back: The War God Prince Spoils Her Crazy
Chapter 23: Changing Orders Every Day, How to Convince the People
In the huge palace, smoke is rising.
The imperial physician took out the herbs he had prepared earlier and put them into the incense burner.
Time passed bit by bit, the imperial physician nodded, and Nanny Zhang quickly took the incense burner to Chu Wanyu's side and turned it around.
Then she sniffed it gently and shook her head slightly.
"Your Majesty, no matter what kind of elixirs it is, they all contain precious herbs like safflower and musk, which will leave a faint scent on anyone who comes into contact with them! This fragrance will fade over time! I just placed herbs like platycodon, morning glory, and trumpet creeper into the incense burner. When these herbs meet with the herbs in the elixirs, they will produce a pungent odor!"
Chu Wanyu stood there without moving, and there was no strange smell on her body.
The answer is self-evident.
After hearing the words of the imperial physician, the empress dowager slowly raised her eyes, and her majestic gaze fell on Chu Wanyu, "Really?"
"impossible!"
Yao Shijie widened his eyes, unable to believe what he heard, and continued to look at Chu Wanyu with a vicious gaze.
Chu Wanyu didn't talk to the idiot, not even looking at him. "Empress Dowager, can you send the imperial physician to check everyone around me to see if they have any smell of medicine? Check all the pharmacies in the capital to see if I have bought the corresponding medicine!"
His eyes were firm, neither dodging nor evading.
Putting down the Buddhist beads, the Empress Dowager picked up the teacup and said, "Even if she didn't harm anyone, how can an unmarried woman who stayed out all night be worthy of the War King? Come, pass on my imperial decree. The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family has been demoted to a concubine because her reputation has been damaged..."
Concubine?
Demote your wife to a concubine?
Chu Wanyu stood up straight and said in a cold voice, "Empress Dowager, the imperial decree is hard to disobey. I will never be a concubine. If I demote my wife to a concubine, wouldn't it make the world think that the emperor's decrees change every day? How can we convince the people?"
"What a silver tongue!" The Queen Mother gave him a cold look.
"That's not the case. I'm doing this for the sake of the royal dignity!" Chu Wanyu continued calmly, "The marriage between me and Prince Zhan was granted by the Emperor. If the Queen Mother insists on this, it might hurt the relationship between mother and son!"
The Queen Mother is the most noble woman in the world.
But, the emperor is the ruler of the world.
"You, use the imperial edict to pressure me!" The Empress Dowager was about to speak, but suddenly frowned and held her forehead with her hand.
Nanny Zhang was extremely flustered and quickly gave the Queen Mother a massage, "Don't be angry, Queen Mother, or you'll have another headache!"
The Queen Mother remained silent, her eyes closed, sweat dripping from her forehead. It was obvious that she was in great pain.
Chu Wanyu stepped forward, "I have read some medical books and I think they can help alleviate the Empress Dowager's symptoms..."
"How dare you! Who do you think you are to treat the Empress Dowager!" Yao Shijie shouted before anyone else could say anything.
Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?
Chu Wanyu treated him as air and walked to the Queen Mother.
Observe, smell, ask, and palpate! The Empress Dowager has a chronic illness!
She frowned slightly, "Her Majesty, have you been suffering from insomnia and night sweats these days? Have you lost your appetite and gotten a headache every time you get angry?"
He had barely finished his words when the imperial physician came hurriedly.
When he saw the Empress Dowager's symptoms, he immediately took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupuncture points of the Empress Dowager.
Chu Wanyu watched carefully from the side, and when he dropped a needle, she stopped him, "Your acupuncture at this point can only provide temporary relief, but it will damage the root cause..."
The imperial physician froze, a guilty look flashing across his eyes. But when he saw Chu Wanyu's face, he sarcastically said, "Miss Chu, please stay away and don't delay my treatment!"
Aunt Zhang scolded, "Miss Chu, please move!"
Chu Wanyu wanted to speak again, but when she met the stern gaze of Aunt Zhang, she could only step aside awkwardly.
But those eyes never left the Queen Mother, carefully observing his every expression.
When he saw the sweat dripping from the Empress Dowager's forehead, his heart rose to his throat.
After acupuncture, the imperial physician began to write a prescription.
The handwriting is very elegant, but the prescription is not very good.
According to this prescription, it is indeed safe and effective, just like a health-preserving medicine! However, it is of no benefit to the Empress Dowager's condition.
The doctor is kind.
Chu Wanyu was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She wanted to speak several times, but was scared away by Aunt Zhang's gaze.
The medicine for the Empress Dowager was quickly prepared. Nanny Zhang carefully cooled the medicine and fed it to the Empress Dowager mouthful by mouthful.
A strong smell of medicine filled the air, and Chu Wanyu sensed something was wrong.
How could the Empress Dowager's medicine be of inferior quality?
She quietly walked up to the imperial physician and asked, "Excuse me, sir..."
The imperial physician looked at Chu Wanyu with a mocking expression, "Men and women should not touch each other!"
Before he finished speaking, he moved his body to create some distance between himself and Chu Wanyu.
Yao Shijie saw all of this and said, "Ugly bastard, you don't even let old men go! Are you afraid that the War King won't want you and you won't be able to get married?"
The dead man's mouth stinks.
If they weren't in the palace, Chu Wanyu would definitely use a shit-stirring stick to wash him away.
Time passed bit by bit.
The Queen Mother, who had just been in agony, slowly opened her eyes after treatment. Although she had a splitting headache, she was fully aware of everything happening around her.
"The Prime Minister's eldest daughter is so well-educated! How dare she act so presumptuously in front of me!" the Queen Mother said coldly, "Come here, slap her in the face! Teach this eldest daughter some rules!"
A cold-faced nanny came forward with a board in her hand.
Chu Wanyu's arms were restrained, unable to move. "Her Majesty, I know for sure that I am a doctor. I have treated the Marquis' wife before. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask!"
"Shut up!" The Queen Mother glanced at him calmly, "Hurry up and do it! Since you don't want to be my concubine, you have to understand the rules!"
