Geng took advantage of the Jingzhe Day to put on a good show. Li had no way to express her suffering inside, and no one outside cared about her feelings.

The doctor came to deliver the ointment early this morning, and Huang Zhi happened to see it. She took the ointment from the doctor's hand and said she would take it to him to save the doctor from having to make another trip. Huang Zhi thought it was a good idea.

Huang Zhi took out something he had prepared in advance and sprinkled it on the wound, then handed it to the guard at the door and left. As expected, everything was just as Geng Yuehua had expected. Li loved her face and would definitely ask the doctor to prescribe some scar-removing medicine.

Li Shuran took the scar-eliminating ointment and applied it immediately. After a while, his face began to feel hot and painful.

"Tanxi, go get some water. My face is burning." Li thought that only the ointment was effective and wanted to apply it with a wet towel.

After using it for a few days, Li Shuran felt something was wrong. His face became redder and redder, and some turned pale, as if it was festering.

"Tan Xi, who sent this ointment? It was handed to you personally by the doctor who came that day."

Tan Xi thought about it and realized that the ointment she got that day was indeed not from the doctor: "Fujin, when I went out that day, the ointment was already with the guards."

Li took the ointment and examined it, then threw it to the ground fiercely, cursing herself in her heart for being so stupid that she didn't even know how to be more careful. The women in this mansion were hoping that she would make a fool of herself in there. She looked at her face in the mirror and didn't know what to do now.

Tan Xi remembered that the Fourth Master had given some medicines as tribute from the Western Regions before. Luckily there was a bottle of medicine that the Lady could use now. They had to make do with it for the time being. Li Shuran looked at the small box as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and immediately applied it on his face in front of the mirror, muttering to himself: "It must not leave any scars."

"When I get out, I will never let go of the people who harmed me behind my back." Li swore fiercely in the room that as long as the Fourth Master lifted the house arrest, she would avenge the humiliation she had suffered.

When Deyin heard about Li being bitten by a snake, she was not as happy as Geng seemed. Geng, on the other hand, had been in a good mood these days. She had met her several times in the back garden and even brought a lot of snacks to Hongyun. In the past, Geng Yuehua did not like this little prince.

"Master, do you believe that the snake in Concubine Li's room was just an accident?" Lu Wu asked casually when she had nothing to do.

Deyin had seen many ways the ladies in the palace used to compete for favor, so she naturally felt that something was a little strange: "Why are there so many coincidences in everything? Even if you deliberately disguise it, it can make it look like a coincidence."

Luwu was confused and didn't understand what Deyin meant.

Yinzhen had been standing outside the door for a long time. When he heard them talking about that incident just now, he wanted to listen to Deyin's true thoughts outside. However, Deyin's words hit the nail on the head, so he couldn't help but push the door in.

When Lu Wu saw Yinzhen coming, she stepped back and closed the door.

Deyin knew from Yinzhen's expression that he had heard what she had just said: "Master, do you also think that the incident with Concubine Li was really caused by Jingzhe?"

Deyin asked Yinzhen not because she sympathized with Li, but just wanted to know why Yinzhen did not pursue the matter further.

Yinzhen said it very cryptically: "Yinyin, some things are just as they appear on the surface, and you can't delve into them too deeply. What Chuyao said makes sense. That day of Jingzhe was naturally the day when snakes and rats came out."

Yinzhen wanted a peaceful backyard, so some things had to be done in moderation.

When Deyin heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help thinking of himself: "Master, what if the person inside is not Concubine Li, but me?"

Deyin stared at Yinzhen, expecting his answer. He was obviously stunned that Deyin would ask him like this: "Yinyin, these things will not happen to you, don't think about it."
