Chapter 365: The Disfigurement of the Button
Because the bees came too suddenly, and this was just a small pavilion, and everyone brought their pets, when the accident happened, there was chaos involving people, dogs, and cats.
At this time, Hongying, who was holding Xixi, saw a bee flying in front of the empress. Even though she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but screamed:
"Mom, be careful!"
Seeing this, Nanny Yang on the other side stepped forward without saying a word and swatted the flying bee away with a handkerchief.
Hongying heaved a sigh of relief immediately, while Shi Nanxi's attention was divided into two parts, paying attention to her own safety while keeping an eye on Concubine Niuhulu's reaction.
She seemed to be startled by the accident. She hugged the frightened Nana tightly in her arms and sat there stupidly, not daring to move.
At this moment, a palace maid suddenly rushed straight towards Shi Nanxi as if she was avoiding a bee.
Shi Nanxi was prepared and noticed this scene immediately. One second before the other party hit her, she pretended to fall to the ground accidentally.
Faced with the sudden accident, the palace maid was not prepared at all. She had no time to retract her strength and her foot was tripped by Shi Nanxi's leg who was lying on the ground. She rushed forward, flew out, and rolled down the stairs.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Nianhulu's pupils suddenly shrank. Fortunately, she saw Shi Nanxi fell to the ground by accident.
So the next moment, without hesitation, while no one was paying attention, she buckled the long nail cover with her hand and quickly wiped it under Nana's nose.
Nana, who was frightened by the accident but was held down and unable to move, suddenly smelled a pungent odor.
In an instant, it was greatly stimulated, and its struggling movements, which were about to stop, suddenly intensified after a pause.
Imperial Concubine Nianhulu, who was holding Nana, felt the increasing struggle in her arms. The corners of her mouth curled up quickly. The next moment, she pretended to be panicked and screamed "Nana", while suddenly loosening the strength on her hands.
Nana finally broke free from the restraints and jumped up suddenly. Concubine Nianhulu's eyes were about to overflow with smile, and she opened her eyes wide to watch Concubine Xian being disfigured by the cat's scratches.
However, the expected scene did not happen, and his face suddenly felt painful, as if someone had scratched his cheek with a sharp thorn.
At that moment, time seemed to pass very slowly and also very quickly. After Concubine Nianhulu reacted, she covered her cheeks with her hands.
When she felt the wetness on her hands, she spread out her hands tremblingly. Looking at the blood on her hands, Concubine Nianhulu could no longer control herself and screamed.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked over to see that Concubine Nianhulu's face was covered in blood and she looked terrified. As Nanny Qin panicked, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Shi Nanxi saw the scene where Concubine Niuhulu was attacked by Nana. At that moment, she felt extremely happy.
Didn't Concubine Nianhulu rely on the fact that she was a human being to abuse Nana at will and vent her inner cruelty? Little did she know that even a cat has intelligence. It will remember who hurt it and will retaliate if it gets the chance.
……
Yongshou Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived."
The next moment, Kangxi strode in. As soon as he came in, he looked at Shi Nanxi in the crowd. He looked her up and down and saw that she was intact and not injured anywhere. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved his hand to let everyone stand up. When he approached, he saw Concubine Nianhulu lying unconscious on the bed. There were three scratches on each side of her face, and it was covered in blood. He frowned and asked in a deep voice:
"what happened?"
As the person with the highest position, Shi Nanxi stood up at this moment and gave a brief account of what had happened without bias.
The others also followed suit. At this time, they could see that this accident was unusual. They were just surprised and puzzled that it was Concubine Nianhulu who got into trouble in the end.
According to their speculation, it should be that Concubine Niuhulu wanted to deal with someone by using the Plum Blossom Viewing Banquet, after all, the Plum Blossom Viewing Banquet was hosted by Concubine Niuhulu.
But they were just frightened or fell down. The most unlucky one, Concubine Min, was only stung by a bee when she was saving her rabbit. The rest were fine.
In the end, the only person who got hurt was the Concubine Niohuru who they guessed was the culprit. This was very unreasonable.
Maybe they are too sensitive and this was just an accident?
After all, looking at the deep scratches on Concubine Niuhulu's face, even if she healed, she would probably leave scars, which is equivalent to disfigurement. No matter what, Concubine Niuhulu would never use her appearance to act, right?
Among the concubines, Concubine Xi glanced at Concubine Nianhulu lying on the bed, and a hint of gloating flashed in her eyes.
Concubine Wu looked at the miserable condition of Concubine Nianhulu, glanced at Concubine Xian with some surprise, and then looked away when she didn't notice.
After listening to this, Kangxi stroked his jade ring, narrowed his eyes, and had some guesses in his mind. He looked at Concubine Nianhulu on the bed with a dull expression.
At this time, Zhao Zuoyuanpan, who was taking Concubine Nianhulu's pulse at the bedside, put down his hand and wrinkled his brows.
Kangxi was sitting on the embroidered stool that Liang Jiugong had brought. Seeing this scene, he asked:
"How is Concubine Niuhulu?"
Zhao Zuoyuanpan bowed and replied:
"Your Majesty, the wound on Concubine Niuhulu's cheek was caused by a cat scratch. Cat claws usually have dirty things on them, which can easily make the wound difficult to heal. Fortunately, the cat that committed the crime was not a wild cat, and Concubine Niuhulu is fine. It's just that the wound is too sharp and deep, and it will leave a scar even if it heals..."
When he said the last sentence, his tone was a little nervous, and there was a sudden gasp in the inner room. Everyone was shocked and confused. Concubine Nianhulu's face was really disfigured.
Shi Nanxi's reaction on the surface was the same as everyone else's, but in her heart she wanted to set off firecrackers. If she hadn't been prepared, she would have been the one to be disfigured this time. She really deserved it!
At this moment, I was hoping that Concubine Nianhulu would wake up soon. I wonder how she would feel when she found out that she had not only failed to steal the chicken but also ended up being disfigured.
Nanny Qin and Jing Yan, who were standing beside the bed, were struck by the imperial physician's words as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue and were totally unable to accept it.
How could this happen? How could this happen? It was Concubine Xian who should have been disfigured. What went wrong?
And what should they do after their queen is disfigured? Palace concubines are not allowed to have scars, especially on their exposed faces. How will they face people in the future, and how will they face court officials and ladies of honor?
Kangxi stroked the jade ring, frowned for a moment, then relaxed quickly and said in a deep voice:
"I have some scar-removing tribute medicine in my private storehouse. Liang Jiugong, go get it."
Then he glanced at Concubine Niuhulu on the bed and said calmly:
"Try to heal it and don't leave any scars."
Zhao Zuoyuanpan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. The wound was really too deep and he really couldn't guarantee that the scar would be completely removed. The emperor's words were enough. He cupped his hands in response.
However, Nanny Qin and Jing Yan became anxious when they heard this, but they didn't know what to say. The emperor had already asked Liang Jiugong to bring the treasured scar-removing tribute medicine, so what else did he want?
Do we need the Emperor to investigate? They had set up this situation themselves. If the Emperor investigated, there was no guarantee that he would find out about the Empress. But they were unwilling to just leave it alone, after all, their Empress was disfigured!
Just when they were in dilemma, a mumbling voice was heard from the bed, and the next moment the unconscious Concubine Nianhulu slowly opened her eyes.
