Chapter 16: I need to buy a set of skincare products!!!
Poison from Miao territory?
Consort De's expression changed drastically, a hint of panic and worry flashing in her eyes. She gripped Imperial Physician Wen's sleeve tightly and asked urgently:
"Is there... any way to detoxify now?"
Her voice was filled with obvious anxiety and unease, as if the whole world was about to collapse.
Imperial Physician Wen frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation and helplessness in his eyes. His lips moved, but he seemed to find it difficult to speak.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Yes... but it can't cure it completely. It might leave a psychological scar. If we can find an antidote, then there will be a solution!"
Upon hearing this, Consort De's heart sank, and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.
But she did not give up. She immediately ordered, "Imperial Physician Wen, continue the treatment now. I will go and see the Emperor!" After saying that, she turned and left without hesitation, her steps quick and firm.
At the same time, Yunshang hurriedly followed, quickly instructing the palace servants to prepare a sedan chair, and then helped Consort De into the sedan chair.
Consort De sat in her sedan chair, her heart filled with anxiety, constantly urging the bearers to hurry. Her gaze was firm and resolute, as if seeing the Emperor would solve all her problems.
As the sedan chair swayed, Consort De's heart pounded along with it.
Finally, the sedan chair stopped in front of the Zichen Palace. Consort De couldn't wait to get out of the sedan chair and walk towards the palace.
……
The Purple Palace is magnificent and resplendent, with carved beams and painted rafters.
Candlelight filtered through the exquisite glazed tiles, casting its glow on every corner of the palace, making it exceptionally striking. However, Consort De had no time to appreciate the beauty; her only thought was to see the Emperor as soon as possible and seek his help.
Emperor Pei Chuan, dressed in a dragon robe, exuded an air of grandeur. In his arms, he held a beautiful Consort Hui, who was dressed in brocade palace attire, adorned with pearls and jade, and smiling radiantly.
The laughter of the two carried throughout the palace, a stark contrast to Consort De's anxious mood.
Upon hearing the playful noise, Consort De felt a surge of inexplicable anger. She found the sounds extremely grating and unbearable.
She hurried to the palace gate, but was stopped by the eunuch beside her as she was about to enter. The eunuch said softly:
"Your Highness, the Emperor has given orders that you may not enter without a summons!"
Consort De glared angrily at Eunuch Wang, her eyes wide. She was already agitated, and now she was even more furious.
She angrily rebuked him, "This Imperial Concubine has important business to discuss with the Emperor. If this matter is delayed, who among you can bear the responsibility?"
Her tone was full of authority and anger, making it difficult for anyone to disobey her.
The eunuch was intimidated by Consort De's imposing manner and quickly bowed his head to apologize.
But he still insisted, "Your Highness, please calm down. I am only acting under orders. Please wait a moment while I go and report to the Emperor."
Having said that, he hurriedly entered the palace.
"Tell the Emperor that the Sixth Prince has been poisoned with a deadly poison... and is destined to die..." Consort De shouted, disregarding all decorum.
Even after an incense stick had burned out, the sounds of laughter and merriment still echoed throughout the hall…
Since ancient times, emperors have been the most ruthless. The more Consort De listened, the more ridiculous she felt.
Years ago, Pei Chuan bravely rescued her when she accidentally fell into the river. At that moment, she was deeply attracted to the man in front of her, and her girlish heart began to flutter.
However, her father warned her that members of the royal family could not be trusted; they were always adept at disguise and difficult to understand. But Consort De did not believe her father's words and firmly believed that Pei Chuan was the special person.
But as time went on, she gradually came to understand many things.
It turns out that Pei Chuan's rescue of her was not accidental, but intentional. And after she married into the royal family, she was merely a tool for Pei Chuan to consolidate his position and win people's hearts.
All of this caused her immense pain and disappointment, but she continued to endure it silently.
Now, faced with her son's poisoning crisis, Pei Chuan remained completely unmoved, which utterly chilled Consort De's heart. She realized that the man who had once captivated her had long since become cold and heartless.
Consort De chuckled softly, her heart filled with self-mockery and helplessness: "Yunshang, let's not wait any longer and return to the palace..."
“Your Majesty, but the Sixth Prince…” Yunshang looked at Consort De with concern.
"It's alright, with Imperial Physician Wen here, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and make the person who poisoned me pay the price!" Consort De waved her hand, her eyes firm, as if she had already made up her mind.
Then, she slowly stepped onto the carriage bridge and hurried towards the Sixth East Institute.
At this moment, dark clouds filled the sky, and a torrential downpour gradually began to fall...
……
Several days later, under the careful care of Physician Wen, Pei Yunjing's health gradually recovered, but he still needed to take medicine on time every day to treat his heart disease.
At the same time, he also learned that his mother had asked to see his father in order to save him.
In his heart, he secretly made up his mind that he must win the throne. With this thought in mind, he drank the soup in the bowl without hesitation.
At this moment, he remembered the matter his mother had asked him, so he got up, quickly walked to the bronze mirror, and softly called out:
"Nian Nian... Nian Nian... Are you there?"
Pei Yunjing waited patiently, initially thinking Niannian wasn't there, but unexpectedly heard a voice coming from inside the bronze mirror—the soft whimpering sound she made when she first woke up.
"What's wrong, Brother Yun Jing? You got up so early today?"
These days, Niannian not only has to go to school and attend tutoring classes, but also has to worry about her father's company, resulting in severe sleep deprivation.
She couldn't understand why people only have one head, and why they don't have two.
Niannian sat in front of the bronze mirror, resting her chin on her hand as she pondered this question, thinking how wonderful it would be if people had two heads!
While one is in use, the other can rest at home. When the first one gets tired, the second one can take over, so you can always keep your energy up!
Pei Yunjing listened to Niannian's words and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
He said softly, "Hmm, I got up early today... Niannian, may I ask you a favor? I won't take your things for nothing! I'll pay you!"
His voice was deep and gentle...
Niannian blinked, looking at Pei Yunjing curiously, wondering what he wanted to ask her for a favor.
But since he said he would give me money, it shouldn't be a bad thing, right?
So she nodded in agreement: "What is it, Brother Yun Jing?"
"I want skincare products, the kind you gave to my mother the other day!" Pei Yunjing paused for a moment as he spoke, silently counting the concubines in the palace.
He then added, "Could you buy me a hundred pieces?" Pei Yunjing knew this was only the first step in winning people's hearts...
!!!
Upon hearing this, Niannian's eyes widened. She scratched her cheek in disbelief and said in a childish voice, "A hundred sets???"
She knew there were a hundred sets, but she couldn't even count them all on her little toes!
Isn't this making things difficult for me?
Seeing Niannian's hesitant expression, Pei Yunjing paused for a moment, seemingly considering his words, before slowly uttering three words:
"Is it not allowed?" [He lowered his head to wipe his knees, *plop*...]
