Chapter 103 Medicine

The Shangyuan Festival assassination incident seemed to have passed without a sound, some people sank, and some people came up.In the end, even though no one from a certain church patted his chest out to take responsibility for this incident, the palace in the capital city had been in turmoil for a few days. Some people said that they saw someone being arrested, that someone's whole family suddenly disappeared together, or... ...and so on and so forth.

Changchun Palace bloomed a flower along the wall, the pink and white flowers covered all the green leaves.

Xiaodong stopped there to take a look, the sun shone on the flowers, the pink and white were so dazzling, like the white snow in winter.

"Princess, let's go."

Xiaodong nodded: "How is the Empress Dowager?"

"Okay, just keep talking about the princess."

Xiaodong nodded.

These days, the Empress Dowager Shengci sent her things every once in a while, and she had everything for food, play, and use. Among them was a set of small jade screens inlaid with mountains and rivers, which Xiaodong liked very much.Zhao Lu gave her an idea, saying that it is very suitable to put this on the desk.

Xiaodong saluted the Empress Dowager Shengci, and the Empress Dowager Shengci couldn't wait, she had already stood up and took her hand, stroking her face, her hair, her shoulders, and pinching her hand all the way.

"I'm all right." Xiaodong's voice choked slightly, she took a breath, and tried to show a smile: "It's all my fault for letting the empress dowager worry."

"Come here."

Xiaodong sat down next to the Empress Dowager Shengci.

"The bodhi fruit sent by someone, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." Xiaodong whispered, "My brother even squeezed the juice to wipe my forehead. By the way, the little screen that the Empress Dowager gave me is really exquisite, even my father and brother are full of praise."

"That one was placed in summer." The Empress Dowager Shengci thought for a while, and asked Caigu next to her, "I remember that there is also a peony and butterfly brocade velvet one. You can look for it when you come back. It is right now."

Xiaodong hurriedly said: "No, my father will reprimand me again when I go back."

Of course, the Empress Dowager Shengci didn't take King An's threat seriously: "Don't be afraid of him, let him come to me with something to say."

Well, no wonder people in the world say that loving mothers often fail children.If the empress dowager Shengci's way of pampering children is used on other people, she will definitely teach a few earth-shattering prodigal sons.

In the Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Zheng wanted to discipline his son. As soon as the board was lifted up, his wife came to stop him before it fell down.

I think my current treatment is not lower than that of Bao Erye. If my father speaks loudly to me, the Empress Dowager Shengci will definitely support me.

It really makes sense to kiss each other from generation to generation.

The outsider said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Ming and the Fifth Princess are here."

Empress Dowager Shengci said, "Oh, let them in."

Xiaodong stood up and avoided the side, Concubine Ming walked in holding the hand of the palace man, she was much thinner, the clothes seemed to be hanging on her body.The original plump skin has lost its luster, like a piece of old snow paper that has aged.The fifth princess followed her. If it hadn't been for the announcement that this was the fifth princess, Xiaodong would never have guessed that this was the bright and proud fifth princess.When she walked, her shoulders shrunk a little, her head drooped, and there was a veil on her face, and her previous high spirits disappeared.

Concubine Ming also showed a slightly surprised expression when she saw Xiaodong.

"The princess is here too?"

"The imperial concubine, fifth sister."

The fifth princess silently returned a salute without speaking.

"I haven't seen you sisters for a long time, let's talk later."

Concubine Ming is probably asking the Empress Dowager for something - she is not as favored as before, I am afraid that asking the emperor is not very clever, and the empress would be considered kind if she does not add trouble to her.

Xiaodong guessed that it was probably related to the fifth princess's marriage.Apart from her daughter, Imperial Concubine Ming has nothing to embarrass her.Even if the love fades, she is still a noble concubine after all.

The weather has warmed up, and the fifth princess is still wearing thick clothes. Xiaodong greets her: "Fifth sister, the flowers are blooming well outside, let's go for a walk?"

The fifth princess followed behind her like a ghost, silently.

"Is Fifth Sister in good health?"

The fifth princess just hummed.

Xiaodong thought that he had never visited her before, and felt guilty slightly, so he changed the subject: "Is my sister still living in Wanfu Palace now? Did she move back?"

The fifth princess cherished words like gold and said: "Yes."

Xiaodong changed the topic three or four times, but the fifth princess didn't answer, and Xiaodong also shut up.

They sat down on the pavilion, and the palace servants brought tea.

"Sister Xiaodong."

Xiaodong was stunned for a moment before realizing that the fifth princess had actually spoken on her own initiative.

"Fifth sister, please speak if you have something to say."

"I heard that you were injured a few days ago, or was it a face injury?"

what?
Thinking about it, Xiaodong, a swollen forehead is considered an embarrassment, right?

"It's just some bruises, and it's all healed."

"Where is the injury?"

Xiaodong lifted his bangs to show her: "I can't see anything anymore."

The fifth princess took a closer look, Xiaodong looked at her, but she turned her head away as if being stabbed by a needle.

Through the veil, Xiaodong could only vaguely see the outline of her cheeks—but the face under the veil seemed not smooth.

"What medicine did you take?"

Uh... Xiaodong probably understood a little bit what she was thinking.

But her injury was mild in the first place, even if she didn't apply any medicine, it still wouldn't leave a scar.But listening to the meaning of the fifth princess, it seems that she has some panacea.

Maybe it was rumored that she was badly injured?

It is possible that the rumors that the three of them are about to go out of shape, and the fifth princess didn't know which country they went to. Maybe the fifth princess thought she was disfigured, but when she saw her intact today, she was naturally surprised and curious.

"It's useless, it's just a decoction plaster for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis." Xiaodong thought for a while: "Well, I also ate two bodhi fruits."

"I also ate Bodhi fruit and used it..." The fifth princess sounded suspicious, as if she didn't believe what she said.

"My dear sister, have you invited some good doctor and used some other medicine, don't hide it from me. If it is really possible..." She paused, then suddenly raised her head with eager eyes: "I've been waiting for you all my life." Remember your kindness."

It seems that there is a serious problem with the face of the fifth princess, and she even said such words.

If there really is a secret recipe, Xiaodong certainly doesn't keep it secret, but she really doesn't have one.

Seeing her shaking her head, the fifth princess was a little excited, and grabbed her hand: "My good sister, please, help me. I... I don't have any meaning to live now. I don't even dare to look in the mirror. Looking at this face now , I feel scared and want to vomit..."

She pinched Xiaodong's wrist so painfully, her eyes were so bright that it was shocking.Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, in the end he didn't use the method Qin Lie taught to shake her off first - that's not the case.Thankfully, her self-control ability is much better than when she first learned it. If she was in a state of frightened birds a few days ago and the conditioned reflex when she first learned her skills, the fifth princess must have been twisted by her right now.

Xiaodong was slightly frightened, and wanted to pull her hand back, but she held on tighter and tighter.

"I don't want you for nothing, and I have something important to tell you. You don't want to know, who wants to kill you?"

what?
Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and the sixth princess's sharp voice came from behind: "Hey, look who this is? Isn't it Fifth Sister?"

The fifth princess froze, Xiaodong took the opportunity to withdraw her hand.

The sixth princess was wearing a bright yellow spring dress and a short cloak with ruffles, and walked over with a smile brushing the blossoming branches.
