Chapter 291 Unable to recover, replacement
The Queen has beaten so many of the Emperor's children, and the Queen Mother is willing to cover up for the Queen. Isn't she afraid that the Emperor will have no one to inherit the throne?
Or does the Queen Mother have other ideas?
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, what happened today was an accident, but fortunately the baby in Lady Wan's belly is fine, which is a blessing in disguise. The imperial physician said that Lady Wan just needs to go back and recuperate for a while."
The queen smiled and explained.
"Then what's going on with Concubine Hua?"
The Queen Mother looked at the disheveled Concubine Hua and asked with some confusion.
"Your Highness, I am truly in trouble."
When Concubine Hua saw the Queen Mother coming, she seemed to have found a backer. Her eyes immediately turned red and she complained to the Queen Mother.
"Good boy, it's okay, I'm here."
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother hurried over to Concubine Hua, took her hand and spoke softly.
Now that something like this has happened to Concubine Hua, as the empress dowager she must comfort Concubine Hua.
The Queen Mother felt a little bit sorry when she saw Concubine Hua in such a miserable state.
The queen's temper has become more and more extreme. What happened today was really too risky.
Nowadays, the Nian family is powerful and Concubine Hua is Nian Gengyao's favorite sister. After something like this happened, the Nian family must ask the royal family for an explanation.
Queen, oh queen, she always creates these messes for her.
"Empress, as the master of the six palaces, you have caused such a mess today. How are you going to explain this to the emperor when he returns to the palace?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother spoke sternly to the Queen.
"Queen Mother, I never expected that a flower-viewing banquet would turn into such a mess. I am the one who failed in my duty."
"Tell me in detail what's going on."
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen with a cold face and asked.
The Queen sighed helplessly and said, "Concubine Qi has always liked Songzi, the dog I raised. The weather is nice today, so Concubine Qi wanted to take Songzi out to play for a while. But Songzi was frightened by the sound of the maid breaking the teacup, and suddenly pounced on Concubine Hua, scratching Concubine Hua's face."
"Where is the imperial physician? How is Concubine Hua's face?"
The Queen Mother glanced at the Queen, then turned to look at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground and asked.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I was just helping to treat Concubine Wan, so I haven't had time to check on Concubine Hua's condition."
The imperial physician answered tremblingly.
"Why don't you go and see Concubine Hua's face?"
The Queen Mother said sternly to the doctor.
After taking Hua Fei's pulse, the imperial physician carefully looked at the scars on her face. He felt somewhat uneasy, fearing that these superiors would take their anger out on him.
"How's the situation?"
The Queen Mother asked.
"There aren't any external injuries on Concubine Hua's body, just some bruises. They will heal after applying some ointment."
"Imperial Physician, can my face be restored to its original state?"
Concubine Hua also understood that the injuries on her face were more serious, but she did not give up the last glimmer of hope. She looked at the imperial physician expectantly and asked.
"The wound on Concubine Hua's face is too deep. My medical skills are limited. Even if she recovers properly in the future, it is impossible to completely eliminate the scar. Perhaps other imperial doctors can have a better solution."
The imperial physician met Concubine Hua's gaze and still did not dare to say anything final. Instead, he dragged a few more people into the matter.
After all, the law does not hold everyone responsible. It is better to bring down a few more people than to be scolded alone.
"Why don't you go and invite all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to come to me!"
Concubine Hua no longer cared about the Empress Dowager or not at this moment, and spoke loudly to Songzhi who was standing beside her.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Songzhi also quickly responded.
"How can I have a scar on my face? No, it's impossible. This is absolutely impossible."
Concubine Hua found it hard to believe this fact, but her tears flowed uncontrollably.
If I had any scars on my face, the emperor would definitely not favor me anymore in the future.
Without the emperor's favor, everything she longed for would disappear completely.
Even her family might give up on her and let someone else from the family enter the palace to replace her after they knew she had lost her face.
It was as if not long after the death of the previous emperor's Concubine Tong, young Tong entered the palace.
You have to know that her brother has more than one sister, and her younger sister is now in her prime and may very likely replace her and enter the palace.
Although his brother would pity him, he always had to consider the family.
Concubine Hua has always been arrogant and rarely shows such a vulnerable side in front of other people, which makes the concubines around her feel inexplicably emotional.
When Zhen Huan saw Concubine Hua like this, she didn't feel much joy in her heart. Instead, the only words that came to her mind were "beauty fades and love fades".
The fact that Concubine Hua is so afraid that her looks will fade away doesn't it just mean that she doesn't actually believe that the Emperor truly loves her as a person, rather than just her charming face?
If one day I no longer have the appearance I have now, will the emperor still love me like this?
Thinking of this, Zhen Huan subconsciously looked at Fu Cha Zhixi who was standing beside her.
Although the other party did not speak, her jade-like face was like an orchid in a valley, inexplicably attracting the attention of people around her.
Even as a woman, I couldn't help but marvel at her face, let alone the emperor who is the ruler of a country.
If Concubine Xuan did not have such a stunning appearance, would the Emperor still give her such extraordinary favor?
When Concubine Jing saw Concubine Hua like this, she felt a little happy in her heart.
After all, she still remembered clearly how Concubine Hua bullied her when she was in the mansion.
Even before this incident came to light, Concubine Hua was still finding ways to belittle her.
It is difficult for Concubine Jing to feel any sympathy for Concubine Hua.
If she sympathized with Hua Fei's misery now, wouldn't that be betraying herself who had been bullied by Hua Fei?
Fu Cha Zhixi had never expected that this matter was actually directed at Concubine Hua. Could it be that the Queen thought that by ruining Concubine Hua's face, she would lose her favor?
But this seems to work, after all, the emperor is not a man who is loyal to his friends.
Since Concubine Hua doesn't have a face like hers, the Emperor naturally won't favor her as much as before.
Don’t talk nonsense. The emperor favors Concubine Hua because of Nian Gengyao.
You must know that the emperor never thought of taking Hua Fei's life. Even after settling accounts with Nian Gengyao, he still wanted to save Hua Fei's life.
After Concubine Hua left, he found Ye Lan Yi as a substitute, which is enough to prove that the emperor likes women like Concubine Hua.
Just like stamp collecting, without Concubine Hua, there will be Ye Lanyi in her place.
The Emperor has many ways to stabilize the Nian family, and it doesn't necessarily have to be done by favoring Concubine Hua. It's just that favoring Concubine Hua is the most convenient and simplest way.
