Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

The medicine was made by Chu Yanluo herself, and she knew its effects better than anyone else.

She looked at Xiao Qingyuan's horrified expression, and a feeling of despair and sadness surged in her heart: "Does the prince dislike me now? It's just a few bumps on my scalp, it's not a big deal. Didn't the prince say that you would only love me for the rest of your life? You also said that only I can call you husband, and that I am your true prince consort."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her hideous scalp, then at her scarred face, and he suddenly came to his senses.

He said without hesitation: "You are like a demon now, so scary. How can I still like you? Go back and look in the mirror. Are you the same person now as before?"

Without the white clothes and the long flowing hair, her cold and arrogant temperament was gone, and her halo in Xiao Qingyuan's heart completely disappeared.

"Not only has your appearance become vulgar, your heart is no longer kind! You even dared to give Shen Wantang such a poisonous drug. You have become completely unrecognizable and cruel! In my eyes, you are now worse than a maid!"

Chu Yanluo felt a little gloomy with every word he heard. By the end, his heart was completely chilled.

She didn't understand why she was living a worse life than her previous one after having mastered many opportunities and secrets in her new life.

Didn't Xiao Qingyuan love her to death in his previous life? Why didn't he love her in this life?

Xiao Qingyuan was still scolding her, but she could no longer hear what he was saying. She could only see Huayi standing beside Xiao Qingyuan.

The maid was dressed in a pink brocade skirt, with her eyebrows drawn and black eyebrow painted, and lip balm and rouge applied. Her whole body exuded the nourishment and happiness of being loved by a man.

Didn't Xiao Qingyuan hate women who looked so vulgar? Didn't he say he liked her best without makeup? Now he said she was worse than a maid. What was that?

Ever since Huayi came to Xiao Qingyuan's side, her relationship with Xiao Qingyuan has been getting worse day by day. Xiao Qingyuan's mind is now all on Huayi!

If she had known this earlier, she might as well have continued to flirt with Yuan Zheng! Yuan Zheng would at least generously give her a few hundred taels of silver!

After Xiao Qingyuan had scolded enough, he said to Madam Chai with a gloomy face: "Take her out and deal with her however you want! Dealing with concubines is the job of Shen Wantang, the head of the family. Don't come to me in the future! I won't be able to sleep well!"

Madam Chai bowed her head slightly and said, "It was Aunt Chu who insisted on coming to see the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's Consort thought that she had a special relationship with the Crown Prince, so she reluctantly agreed to let her come."

Xiao Qingyuan opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He had indeed told Shen Wantang before that he only loved Chu Yanluo.

Seeing that he was choking, Madam Chai immediately added, "But with what the prince said, I can go back and report to the prince's wife. If my concubine makes a mistake again, the prince's wife will deal with it. The prince will not be bothered by these trivial matters anymore."

After she finished speaking, she waved to the maids and said, "Take Aunt Chu away quickly. Don't let her disturb the prince's rest!"

The two servants immediately dragged Chu Yanluo out.

Chu Yanluo finally came to her senses. She screamed, "Xiao Qingyuan, you can't do this to me! You are such a treacherous person. You let me be bullied by Shen Wantang. I hate you! I will hate you for the rest of my life!"

The door closed, her voice faded away, and finally it seemed as if someone had blocked her mouth, and she could no longer utter any curse.

Xiao Qingyuan suddenly felt as if a huge stone was stuffed into his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.

He stood up and was about to go out to take Chu Yanluo back from Nanny Chai, but Huayi hugged his waist from behind.

The fragrance of her soft body came to his face, her graceful figure pressed tightly against his back, and her soft voice sounded in his ears: "My Lord, they are all gone. You can have a good rest this time. Let me help you change your clothes!"

Xiao Qingyuan felt the softness and fullness on his back, and the numbness in his ears from the hot air. He turned around and hugged Huayi.

He thought that few men in the world could resist such temptation.

It just so happens that he couldn't fall asleep because of the noise, so he might as well indulge himself a little. After that, he will sleep better!

Huayi was held by Xiao Qingyuan. She wrapped one arm around his neck and unbuttoned his clothes with the other hand.

A smug smile appeared at the corner of her lips. The prince no longer liked Chu Yanluo at all. The woman he loved most was her!

-

Zhenguogongfu.

Shen Wantang took Gu Qianning's pulse and confirmed that she had a lung heat cough caused by a cold, so he sat down at the desk and wrote a prescription for her.

"Ah Tang, thank you for troubling me. You have to come here in person to diagnose my pulse and prescribe medicine for me. Ahem…"

As Gu Qianning spoke, she coughed violently. After she finished coughing, she covered her chest with her hands. The pain was so severe that she dared not breathe.

Shen Wantang handed the written prescription to her maid, told her to hurry and get the medicine, then returned to Gu Qianning and began to give her acupuncture to eliminate the wind evil brought by the cold air entering her body.

"Prince Ning's Mansion is very close to the Duke's Mansion, so it's not a big deal for me to come here. But you, how could you be so careless? It's almost the New Year, and you're so sick all of a sudden."

"I just thought the snow scene in the back garden of the mansion was beautiful, so I painted two pictures in the snow, and that's it..."

Gu Qianning covered her chest and asked anxiously, "Am I really okay? Why does my chest hurt so much? It didn't hurt yesterday."

"Don't worry, I'm here. Your chest pain is because the cold air was not removed in time and stayed in your body for too long, turning into heat. With acupuncture and medication, the pain will go away tomorrow."

Shen Wantang explained while giving acupuncture. Her voice was clear and calm, and her technique was steady and fast, which made Gu Qianning feel at ease.

She had been coughing for two days and two nights, and had been listless the whole time. Now her eyes finally brightened up: "Hey, why do I feel like I'm much better? It doesn't hurt anymore!"

Shen Wantang laughed: "How can it be so fast? Do you think I'm a god? You are just comforted, it's a psychological effect."

Gu Qianning's face was filled with joy, and her tone revealed a sense of happiness: "I made the right decision to make you my friend! Who would have thought that you are actually a miracle doctor!"

"Oh, you don't know, your father-in-law is bragging about how filial his daughter-in-law is, how she cured his chronic cough, and how good he is at managing the household. He praises you like the best in the world!"

"Before I thought he was showing off too much and trying to cover up his son's waste, but now I understand him all of a sudden!"

"It's really painful to keep coughing. Those doctors are all quacks and the medicine they prescribe is useless. But once you take action, I stop coughing! I want to show off that I have a friend like you!"
