Time travel, quick transmigration

With everything concluded, Shi Yan and Xiao Die escorted Zhang He and Doctor Chen Kui to the main gate of Dongling Temple.

Shi Yan thanked Chen Kui, then spoke a few words to Zhang He and made an appointment with him to come to Dongling Temple to pick her up and take her to Changlefang in half a month before seeing the two off.

"go in."

"Xiaodie, go ask the senior sister in the temple for a pot for decocting medicine, and decoct the medicine according to the prescription given by Physician Chen, and then take it to him to take."

Xiaodie agreed as instructed.

The two headed towards Huanqing Residence one after the other, and on the way, they happened to meet Wenying and others who were coming out of the Sanqing Hall.

Shi Yan greeted the group with a smile from afar, and Wen Ying and the others politely returned the greeting.

Clearly, Wenying and her sisters had no intention of having much interaction with her. After exchanging greetings, they walked away indifferently in the other direction.

Shi Yan didn't care about this.

However, Xiaodie, with her lively and innocent personality, couldn't stand seeing others ignoring her mistress. Since they were still living under someone else's roof, they couldn't say anything. So, they could only make a face at Wenying and the others' backs.

The two returned to Huanqing Residence, and Xiaodie took the prescription and went to find the ingredients to brew the medicine.

Shi Yan sat on the edge of Xiao Huanling's bed, staring intently at him.

It wasn't until Xiao Huanling couldn't bear Shi Yan's gaze that he softened his tone and begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, I'll remember what you said. I just forgot, I'll remember to apply the medicine."

Shi Yan then looked away.

The porcelain vase on the table has remained unchanged since she left, clearly untouched, and Xiao Huanling's face doesn't look like she's applied any medicine.

"You little brat, I'm a detail-oriented and observant person. Don't think you can fool me."

Shi Yan muttered a few complaints to herself, then took the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, walked to a nearby table, poured some cold water, and then put some in her palm. Seeing that the pill dissolved in the water, Shi Yan returned to the couch and sat down.

"Don't move, let me apply the medicine."

With her hands clasped together, Shi Yan rubbed the cut pill in her palms a few times, then used her fingertips to apply a little bit of the paste to the bruised and swollen areas on Xiao Huanling's face.

As Xiao Huanling felt the gentle and meticulous movements and the warmth of Shi Yan's soft fingertips, he froze completely, his heart pounding like a drum.

Never before had he been so close to any woman, never before had any woman cared so much about his injuries, never before had she been so gentle with him. Even though Shi Yan's tone was a little fierce, he only felt a warm glow in his heart.

"Okay, next time you'll do it the same way I do, remember?"

"Don't take it lightly. If you don't cherish your own body and don't care about your injuries, how can you expect others to care about you?"

"There are no mirrors here. If there were, I would definitely show you what you look like now."

"You probably don't know, but your face is badly injured and swollen like a little pig's head. Are you sure you want to keep wearing this scarred face?"

Shi Yan deliberately put on an expression that was hard to explain.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huanling was truly unsettled. He wished he could turn back time and hide himself before Shi Yan saw him. He was filled with regret and anger, but when he thought of another possibility of missing out on Shi Yan, he abandoned the idea of ​​hiding.

But he couldn't bear the thought of Shi Yan seeing his extremely unattractive side. Now, was it too late to cover his face? It would only make things worse.

"It must be ugly, really ugly."

Heaven bears witness that this was the first time Xiao Huanling, at the age of sixteen, had ever cared about his appearance.

Just as Xiao Huanling was secretly struggling, Shi Yan, who was having a hard time suppressing her laughter, cleared her throat and tried her best to calm herself down.

"Ah Ling, you rest. Xiao Die will bring you your medicine later, remember to take it properly."

"I'll go see what we're having for dinner tonight."

Xiao Huanling didn't hear what Shi Yan said at all. At this moment, he was still immersed in the emotion of being seen in the ugliest state by Shi Yan, and his mood was so low that words could not express it.

It's good that Shi Yan left; he didn't want to face her in his worst state.

In the Prince of Shou's mansion, Li Heng became much more dejected after Shi Yan left, listless and only knowing how to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

"Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived."

The steward stepped forward to report and instructed the two servants who had come with him to help Li Heng, who had slumped over on the couch, to his feet.

Li Heng opened his bloodshot eyes, still somewhat disoriented, and sat upright on the couch, staring blankly at the anxious-looking steward.

Seeing Li Heng's appearance, the steward was afraid of making a mistake, so he instructed two servants to wipe Li Heng's face and tidy his appearance.

After a lot of work, Li Heng finally looked clean.

The steward was extremely anxious, so he knelt on the ground and looked up at Li Heng.

"Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived and is waiting in the front hall. Please snap out of your daze and go to the front to receive the imperial decree."

“Your Highness, I know you are upset, but everyone in this palace, from top to bottom, inside and out, depends on you. If you don’t pull yourself together, how are we supposed to live?”

"The palace carriages and the people who came to pick up the princess were waiting at the gate of the palace. Eunuch He said that His Majesty had specially ordered them to come and take the princess to the Taizhen Palace in the palace."

"The Princess Consort is not at the Prince's residence at the moment, and this servant does not know what to do..."

The butler felt a sense of impending doom and was overcome with grief.

Li Heng's already throbbing temples throbbed even more from the steward's sobbing.

"Stop howling! What kind of behavior is this? Your prince isn't dead yet..."

He stood up and strode towards the outside, his posture conveying a sense of resolute determination to face death.

After receiving the imperial decree, Li Heng exchanged a few words with the eunuch He Yunxiang, and then left the palace with his entourage to meet the emperor.

Upon entering the palace, He Yunxiang found Gao Lishi and told him the truth that Li Chang had revealed. Gao Lishi learned that Yang Yuhuan, who was supposed to be practicing Buddhism at the Taizhen Palace, had secretly left the palace to become a nun elsewhere, and knew something terrible had happened. He rushed to Xingqing Palace without delay.

As soon as Gao Lishi entered the hall, he saw Li Heng kneeling in the hall, looking dejected and lifeless, with a scraggly beard and dark circles under his eyes.

Seated on the dragon throne, Li Longji suppressed his anger, his face cold and silent. Gao Lishi knew that a storm was brewing, and with a heavy heart, he walked to the center of the hall and knelt down as well.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor at the head of the table finally made a move and let out a cold laugh.

"That's really great!"

“Huan’er, you must harbor resentment towards your father, so why are you mute in his presence?”

"Since Yu Huan has already left the palace, why did you conceal this from me? You are protesting against me and expressing your dissatisfaction."

"This world belongs to me. What is not mine? I only want a woman. No matter her status, if I want her, she can only be mine. If she refuses me, she will only die."

"Look at you, neither human nor ghost. You've been timid and lacking in courage since childhood. If you were a promising talent, a smart person, I would have nurtured you with care. Do you want to turn against me for a woman? Go back to your palace and reflect on your actions."
