A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 835: This Beating Was Not in Vain

On the morning of the seventh day.

Ying Qiu brought in the medicine and saw Noble Concubine Shih with her eyes open.

Her gaze was blank, looking at the ground.

She hurried over, overjoyed to tears.

"My lady, you’ve finally woken up!"

Noble Concubine Shih struggled to lift her head to look at her.

But any movement made her back burn with pain.

"Ah!"

"Please don’t move, my lady!"

Ying Qiu quickly ran over and crouched on the ground.

Noble Concubine Shih’s forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

As Ying Qiu wiped her sweat, she wept.

"My lady, why put yourself through this?"

Noble Concubine Shih lay on the bed, gritting her teeth to endure the pain.

Only then did she stammer.

"This beating won’t be in vain!"

"This was all done by the Empress Dowager, it has nothing to do with me!"

"At least the Emperor believes in me, doesn’t he?"

Ying Qiu shook her head, crying.

"My lady, if I’d known it would be like this, I’d never have let you go!"

"You were half dead when you came back!"

Noble Concubine Shih suddenly smiled, a beautiful and pale smile.

"As long as I can defeat the Empress Dowager, what does half a life matter!"

"Before, I was too foolish to follow behind the Empress Dowager, begging her to plot for me!"

"Now you see how foolish she is, don’t you!"

"Haha..."

Ying Qiu cried again.

"But my lady, the wound on your back, the Imperial Physician said it will leave scars!"

"And your father and mother, I’ve heard they are to be exiled!"

Noble Concubine Shih suddenly opened her eyes.

"Exiled? What do you mean?"

Ying Qiu then recounted the Empress Dowager’s actions against the Emperor to her, one by one.

"All the women of the Rong Family and Shih Family have been made official slaves, and the men exiled and never to enter the capital for life!"

"All the people around the Empress Dowager were executed, only Sister Qing escaped but has been expelled from the palace!"

Noble Concubine Shih was stunned.

Never did she expect that the fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the moat, this result was far worse than she imagined.

It seems that the Emperor has really taken a hard hand.

"No!"

"I don’t care about the Rong Family, but nothing must happen to my father and mother!"

"I must go plead with the Emperor!"

With that, she struggled desperately to get up.

Ying Qiu was terrified and cried.

"Don’t move, my lady, the bleeding has just stopped, if you move again the wound will burst open, and it won’t stop again!"

The places whipped by the whip, the skin and flesh were gone.

Only blood holes remained, blood flowing profusely, seeping out one by one.

Just thinking about that scene made Ying Qiu break out in a cold sweat.

Noble Concubine Shih indeed grimaced in pain.

The Imperial Physician had used the strongest medicine, otherwise, the bleeding could not be stopped.

But the strongest medicine was also the most painful.

It was a penetrating pain, the whole back felt like it was on fire.

It was no different than a thousand arrows piercing the heart.

Noble Concubine Shih endured wave after wave of pain, almost driven mad.

"Ah!"

"Ah ah ah!"

"Ugh..." She spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.

Seeing this, Ying Qiu was so scared she collapsed to the ground.

"Come... someone! Someone!"

She crawled out in a scramble.

Inside, Noble Concubine Shih fainted at this moment.

Imperial Doctor Zhang hurriedly arrived.

After changing the medicine once, he left with a sigh.

Back at the Imperial Medical Bureau, he sat down and drank a cup of tea, only then did the goosebumps on his body gradually subside.

After practicing medicine for so many years, what kind of patient hasn’t he seen?!

So miserable, almost none.

Her back was covered with dense blood holes, still bleeding.

The five or six layers of bandages were all soaked through.

The situation was very bad.

Imperial Doctor Zhang felt something amiss in his heart.

"If this goes on, even if there’s no festering, the bleeding alone will kill her!"

"No, this must be reported to the Emperor!"

With that, he got up, tidied his official robes, and headed to Zhaochen Palace.

To his surprise, he found the place empty.

The Little Eunuch told him the Emperor went directly to Duanning Palace after court.

It was said they even moved his memorials there.

Imperial Doctor Zhang had no choice but to continue to Duanning Palace.

Inside Duanning Palace.

Xia Ruqing and the Emperor had just finished breakfast.

He worked on memorials in the outer study while Xia Ruqing played with the children on the large brick bed in the inner room.

No matter what, children are everything.

The two kids didn’t know right from wrong, only knowing how to play.

A tease from Xia Ruqing brought giggles, another tease brought more laughs.

The whole inner room was filled with cheers and laughter.

In such an atmosphere.

Zhao Junyao couldn’t feel melancholic.

He could even smile while reviewing memorials.

Of course, there were other reasons he smiled.

Like... those officials.

The officials in the court, when cursing people, their words were sharper than knives, always piercing the heart.

Now, when praising people, they were equally unmatched.

The Rong and Shih Families had relied on their ties with the Royal Family, doing countless heinous things in the dark.

Oppressing the people, forcibly taking maidens, the incidents weren’t major, but truly disgusting.

Because there were no fatalities, often some silver was enough to settle it.

But they settled the victims, not the officials.

They spent a lot of ink impeaching.

Finally, after so many years, the two family tumors were removed.

How could they not be happy?

The officials, in their joy, filled the memorials with words of praise.

They wished to extol him as an eternally famous emperor for generations to come.

Though the words were highly exaggerated. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Zhao Junyao still shamefully rejoiced, after all, every word and sentence truly pleased the emperor, hehe...

Just as he was foolishly smiling.

Li Shengan suddenly came in.

Before he could say anything, he saw the Emperor’s... indescribable expression.

Li Shengan was so scared he nearly lost his soul.

Could it be that the Emperor... had lost his mind??

Imperial Doctor Zhang was outside, should he be called in for a consultation?

No, no, this sort of thing must be kept secret, better not let Imperial Doctor Zhang in!

As he was entangled in his thoughts.

A memorial hit him on the head, and he heard a heavy shout in his ear.

"Are you stupid? Standing there dazed while I’m talking to you!"

Li Shengan suddenly snapped back to reality, seeing the Emperor’s expression had returned to normal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your majesty..."

"Imperial Doctor Zhang seeks an audience!"

Zhao Junyao furrowed his brow and murmured: What’s he coming for?!

"Admit him!"

...

After several turns, Imperial Doctor Zhang finally met with the Emperor and reported the situation at Xifu Palace.

Upon hearing it, Zhao Junyao immediately furrowed his brow.

"She’s nearly gone?" Only ten lashes, that’s all.

It’s not that he was dark-hearted, it’s just that... she had deceived him too many times.

He simply could no longer trust her.

Imperial Doctor Zhang confirmed again.

"Your majesty, the bleeding won’t stop!"

"Noble Consort has changed dozens of pieces of gauze, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Zhao Junyao gave him an icy glance.

"Saw with your own eyes?"

Imperial Doctor Zhang touched his nose, quickly saying.

"Yes, I saw the gauze with my own eyes!"

Not Noble Consort’s body!

Zhao Junyao asked no more, thought for a moment and said.

"I understand, do your best to treat her!"

"Nothing more, you may leave!"

"Yes!"

Imperial Doctor Zhang bowed and then left.

Do his best to treat, just do his best.

He was merely a physician, all the matters of the court and the harem, he need not care.

He only listened to one person’s orders!
