Before entering the palace, Yan Muxi had made full mental preparations, but when the time came, she realized that no amount of preparation would be of any use.

Being forced to be pressed under someone's body and humiliated was, for her, even more tormenting than being punished, and the torture lasted for a long time.

Right now, Yu Jinzhou was suspicious and didn't dare to really take her, but she couldn't guarantee that she could successfully deceive Yu Jinzhou next time.

In Yuhua Palace, as soon as Yu Jinzhou stepped into the courtyard, he heard the hoarse cries of Concubine Xian.

"Wuwuwu... Mammy, I'm itchy. My hands are so itchy. Mammy, please let me pat them or give me a few injections. I really can't stand it anymore, wuwuwu..."

"My lady, bear with it for a while. The itching will go away when you fall asleep. Bear with it for a little while longer..."

The virtuous concubine has been wielding swords and guns since she was a child, and is much tougher than ordinary women. She must be in extreme pain to be able to cry and shout like this without caring about her dignity.

Yu Jinzhou's heart tightened and he quickened his pace. The scene he saw when he entered the hall was even more shocking than he had imagined.

The virtuous concubine's limbs were tied up, and she rolled on the ground crying. Her right hand, which was tied behind her back, was swollen to twice its size and was shaking so much that she couldn't make a fist.

Seeing the emperor coming in, Concubine Xian stopped crying for a moment, and then her tears flowed even harder, "Your Majesty, please save me, I can't bear it anymore, I'm about to die~Wuwuwu..."

Yu Jinzhou collected his thoughts, frowned and asked Yan Muwan beside him, "What did the imperial physician say?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician could not diagnose that Concubine Xian was ill or poisoned, and prescribed some anti-itching ointment. However, after applying it, not only did it have no effect, but Concubine Xian's hands became even more itchy." Yan Muwan said truthfully.

Yu Jinzhou thought for a moment, "We can't let Concubine Ren suffer like this. Doesn't the imperial physician have any other way to relieve the symptoms?"

Yan Muwan had just arrived at Yuhua Palace not long ago and didn't know the specific situation, so she looked at the nanny beside her and asked.

The nanny explained tremblingly, "The imperial physician couldn't stop the itching, so he asked my queen to take a tranquilizer to help her sleep. But she had already taken three bowls of tranquilizers and had been given a needle to help her sleep. She was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep at all."

Yu Jinzhou walked to Concubine Xian and helped her lean against his arms.

The virtuous concubine cried until her voice was hoarse, "Your Majesty, please save me, I really can't bear it anymore, my hands are itchy, Your Majesty, please help me cut off my hands... Wuuuuu..."

"Be patient for a while." Yu Jinzhou soothed in a gentle voice.

The virtuous concubine cried and shook her head, "No, no, I can't bear it anymore, bear..."

As the knife fell, Concubine Xian's crying and begging stopped abruptly, and she fell softly into Yu Jinzhou's arms.

Ignoring everyone's gazes, Yu Jinzhou untied the cloth strips tied around Concubine Xian's body, picked her up and placed her on the bed beside him.

Tranquilizers are useless, and only knocking the person out can stop Concubine Xian from harming herself. However, Concubine Xian is of noble status, and no one except the emperor dares to do it.

Peace returned to the palace, and the palace maid brought a handkerchief and came forward to clean Concubine Xian's face.

Yu Jinzhou took the handkerchief and personally wiped the tears and dirt off Concubine Xian's face. After wiping it clean, he picked up Concubine Xian's swollen right hand and examined it carefully.

Seeing this, Yan Muwan tactfully left the inner hall and returned to Changchun Palace.

Even though she was asleep, Concubine Xian's right hand was still trembling slightly, which showed that she was extremely uncomfortable and itchy.

A dark color flashed in Yu Jinzhou's eyes, and turned into heartache after a moment. When he turned his head to look at the nanny beside him, his eyes were still filled with heartache. "Take good care of your queen and don't let her hurt herself. I will order the imperial physician to find a way as soon as possible, and I will definitely be able to cure Ling'er's hand."

The nanny bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will take good care of your Majesty."

Nanny Qin was the wet nurse of Concubine Xian, and a servant brought by Concubine Xian from the Dingnan Marquis' Mansion. When Nanny Qin saw the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Xian, it was equivalent to the Dingnan Marquis' Mansion seeing the emperor's attitude.

Yu Jinzhou stayed with Concubine Xian for another half an hour, and only left Yuhua Palace after making sure that she would not wake up again.

In Changchun Palace, Yan Muwan thought that the emperor would stay in Yuhua Palace to accompany Concubine Xian and had already gone to bed. When she heard the eunuch's announcement, she hurriedly got up from her bed to greet him.

As soon as she got off the bed and stood firm, she saw Yu Jinzhou striding in from outside the palace, "I thought Your Highness didn't..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his lips were tightly blocked...

She couldn't help but groan in pain as the pain of tearing came, but was ruthlessly stopped. Yu Jinzhou growled and ordered, "Don't make a sound, close your eyes."

Yan Muwan closed her eyes and bit her lips tightly, not daring to make any sound, but she couldn't hold back the tears that were pouring down her cheeks.

She didn't understand, Yu Jinzhou had already welcomed his second sister into the palace, why did he still want to vent his lust on her?

As a concubine's daughter, she was born inferior to her two legitimate sisters, but now she is the queen of a country, why must she suffer such a great humiliation?

The next morning, Yan Muxi was awakened by the noise. Rainy footsteps hurried into the palace, "Miss, wake up quickly! Concubine Xian has brought people to the door!"

Yan Muxi fell asleep after midnight last night. It was still dark now and she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Afraid that the people below would be bullied by Concubine Xian, she forced herself to get up from the bed.

Yu Shui helped her put on her coat. Without even bothering to go to the bathroom to wash up, he quickly washed her face with a wet towel and then simply tied up her black hair with a long hairpin.

Just as they finished cleaning up, they heard louder noises coming from the outer hall. Just as the master and servant were about to go out, they saw Dongyu being pushed into the inner hall.

The one who pushed Dongyu was not someone else, but Concubine Xian herself. At this moment, Concubine Xian was completely different from her noble appearance yesterday. She was still wearing yesterday's dirty clothes, with unkempt hair and a dirty face, like a mad woman.

Seeing Yan Muxi standing in the room, Concubine Xian subconsciously shrank back, then raised her chin with courage, "Concubine Yan, you vicious woman, you must have poisoned me. Hand over the antidote quickly, or I will tear you into pieces."

The virtuous concubine was knocked unconscious and slept for less than three hours. She also suffered from a strange itch in her sleep. She dreamed that she couldn't bear it and cut her hands several times.

She has always been in good health and it is impossible for her to suddenly develop a strange illness. She only had a dispute with the new Concubine Yan yesterday, and Concubine Yan also reached out and touched her. It must have been Concubine Yan who did something.

Facing Concubine Xian's accusations, Yan Muxi showed no sign of being annoyed, and calmly ordered Yu Shui to light the candles in the hall.

After the room was bright, Concubine Xian saw the redness and swelling on her face from the rain that had not completely subsided, and she became even more certain that Concubine Yan was seeking revenge for her maidservant and was plotting against her in such a vicious way.

The unbearable itching sensation came over her palms, and she slapped her palms hard against the wooden table. With a "snap" sound, she threatened Yan Muxi with bared teeth, "You, you quickly hand over the antidote, and I will spare your life."

"You wanted to cut me into pieces just now, but now you're going to spare my life?" Yan Muxi sat down on the armchair beside the round table and covered his lips to hold back the yawn that was about to come out.

With a 'pa' sound, Concubine Xian slammed the table again, "Don't talk nonsense to me, just tell me whether you will give me the antidote or not?"

The pain in the palm of the hand can temporarily relieve the itchiness in the palm of the hand, but it can only relieve it for a moment. After the pain and numbness are over, the itchy feeling is still there. If the itch can be stopped immediately and she is asked to kneel down and kowtow to Concubine Yan, she will do it.

Yan Muxi pretended to be confused, "What antidote is Sister Xianfei talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid in front of me. It's obvious that you are the one who schemed against me." The virtuous concubine slammed the table again. Her palms felt painful and itchy, and she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.

She looked up and saw Yan Muxi still acting nonchalant and yawning. She couldn't hold back any more and really started crying, "Wuwuwu... just give me the antidote. I know I was wrong and I will never trouble you again in the future~"

Yan Muxi's eyelids twitched. The virtuous concubine came from a family of military generals. She thought she was a tough person, but she didn't expect her to be just a brainless and spoiled girl by her elders.
