C5 The medicine is bitter the people are bitter

In the middle of the night, the cries of birds could be heard from the wutong tree in front of the palace. In the middle of the night, the cries of birds could be heard from the wutong tree in front of the palace.

Shangguan Qian slowly woke up and stood in front of the window in her middle clothes. Her beautiful face was expressionless, and her starry eyes were filled with hatred.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the black silk sky, feeling depressed. Even after she was reborn, whenever it was midnight, she would not be able to sleep soundly. When she thought of her parents in her previous life, when their child died tragically, the hatred would surge continuously.

"Crack ~ ~ ~"

Thunder rumbled in the distance, followed by endless thunder that struck the pot in the sky. And just at that moment, with a clap sound, she suddenly turned her head, looking at Cui Yan who was sitting beside the pillar looking at her with a helpless expression, a cup shattered at her feet.

"Are you scared by the thunder?" Her black eyes were like an ancient well, so deep that one could not see the end. However, they faintly revealed a sense of majesty.

Cui Yan quickly lowered his head and said softly, "This servant knows my wrongs."

"If you're tired, go back and rest."

"No, if elder sister Cui Zhu knew that your servant did not keep watch and instead went back to rest, I would be punished." As Cui Yan spoke, he quickly squatted down and cleaned up the fragments at the side of his feet.

Cui Yan's brows were knitted tightly. After tidying up with trepidation, he sneaked a glance at Shangguan Qian and discovered that she was looking out the window. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

She didn't know why, but the instant she met the princess's eyes, she felt like she was suffocating. Even the air had become thin.

Her eyes were sharp and filled with hatred. Even though it was just a glance, it was enough to scare her. How could the usually carefree and carefree princess have such a gaze?

Was she mistaken?

"Hulala ~ ~ ~"

A torrential downpour came down, extinguishing a few lanterns outside the palace. The courtyard instantly became much darker.

Shangguan Qian closed the window tightly, his body was extremely cold. But compared to his previous life's fear, what was this coldness worth?

"Princess, tea."

Shangguan Qian shook his head and rubbed his head, "I have a headache, I'm not drinking anymore. It's raining now, you should go back and sleep."

"I ?"

"I order you to go back!" She lightly swept a glance at Cui Yan and laid down again.

Only then did Cui Yan quietly walk outside. Before his hand could even touch the door, it suddenly opened with a bang, and a gust of cold wind blew in, mixed with rain.

"Where's the princess?" An impatient voice came out, Shen Ruoqi's clothes and hair at the entrance of the palace were all drenched, looking pitifully at the hall, it actually looked a little weaker.

"Princess says she has a headache and is sleeping. You can come back tomorrow if you need anything."

Shen Ruoqi looked like he was about to cry and said anxiously, "No, I must see the princess, I can't wait any longer!"

With that, he rushed in recklessly, kneeling in front of the bed along with Leng Feng, "Sister Qian, you have to save Ruoqi no matter what."

It was a sad cry. If he didn't listen carefully, what difference was there between this and a sad cry?

Shangguan Qian, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but knit his brows and let her cry for a while. Only then did he slowly open his eyes, and when he saw Shen Ruoqi kneeling on the ground, he asked in shock, "Ruoqi, what are you doing?"

Shen Ruoqi looked at her with a snot and tears in his eyes, but there was a complicated expression on his face. If not for Shen mama who was watching over her, she would never have come to beg Shangguan Qian.

She moved her hair that covered her face to the side while crying, and then extended her hands in front of Shangguan Qian.

"Sister Qian, I don't know why, but I woke up with beans growing on my body."

Shangguan Qian raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows tinged with fatigue, as he said indifferently: "Ruoqi, you're sick, you should be looking for an imperial physician, what do you mean by waking me up?"

Although his words were ordinary, they carried a faint sense of majesty.

"Sister Qian ?"

As palace maid, they had no right to see an imperial physician. Unless their master ordered it, they had no right to see an imperial physician.

"As a servant, why did you wake up the master for such a small matter? Didn't Shen mama teach you how to be a servant?" Shangguan Qian's expression was cold, his every sentence was sharp, especially the word 'servant', as he emphasized his words.

From time to time, Shen Ruoqi would scratch the pimples on his body, and a look of panic would flash past his eyes, and a trace of surprise would appear because of Shangguan Qian's words.

"This servant knows that I was wrong, but this servant vaguely remembers that the reason why I became like this before going to bed is because I smeared pearl powder on it ?"

"Pa ~ ~ ~"

A clear slapping sound came out, Shangguan Qian squinted his eyes, coldly looking at the woman who was lying on the ground, and said.

"Are you suspecting that the pearl powder I gave you was poisonous?"

Shen Ruoqi immediately shook his head, and said with fear and trepidation, "Ruoxi doesn't mean that, Ruoxi is just very strange, I don't know why she would have pimples."

"Cui Yan, call Imperial Physician Li over."

In an instant, the entire hall was silent, and the surroundings were ice-cold. The woman kneeling in front of the bed felt even more cold, and her left cheek felt a burning pain.

She was completely shocked by Shangguan Qian's actions. In the past, when she was sick, Shangguan Qian had also called for her imperial physician.

But now it had become like this? What went wrong? Was it really as Shen mama had said, that Shangguan Qian had already detected the relationship between her and Li Fengyi?

As he thought of this, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. The fear in his heart grew.

The rain outside was getting heavier, Shangguan Qian opened the window and looked out with his hands behind his back, not saying a word.

Shen Ruoqi trembled. His clothes were already drenched from the rain, and now it was even colder.

"Princess, Doctor Li is here."

Following the sound of his footsteps, Shangguan Qian slowly turned his head around. Under the shine of the candlelight, his shiny black eyes seemed increasingly profound.

"Doctor Li, check on her. How did she get the pimples?"

Her voice was cold and clear, without any emotion. Then, she looked at Cui Yan, "Go and bring the pearl powder from Ruoqi's room over."

The entire hall was silent, and only the sound of Shangguan Qian drinking tea could be heard.

"Doctor Li, is all the pimples on her body made from pearl powder?"

Imperial Physician Li frowned and shook his head. "No, it's allergic to pearl powder."

His words caused Shen Ruoqi's face to turn somewhat pale, and he immediately knelt in front of Shangguan Qian, "Elder sister Qian, this servant said in a moment of haste that there was a problem with the pearl powder.

Shangguan Qian lowered his head to look at the woman kneeling in front of him, his eyes exploding with rage. She released a thick hatred that made her want to hack her into a thousand pieces. But now was not the time. It was too easy for her. She had to torture her from time to time to make her spirit suffer. His body completely collapsed, only then could he let his hatred be vented out.

"Go rest."

Shen Ruoqi raised his head slightly, glanced at her, and quickly retreated.

The pearl powder obviously wouldn't make people allergic to it, but she knew that since Shen Ruoqi had been beaten up, his face would definitely be swollen like a pig's head. He would definitely wipe off his rouge to cover it up. Her finger was injured, of course, and she was allergic.

After accompanying Shen Ruoqi for the whole night, she was truly tired and fell onto the bed. He then fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, she woke up in a daze, her entire body becoming light as a feather. Hong Ying and Cui Zhu's whispers could be heard by her ears, as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Princess, what do you think?" Cui Zhu stepped forward and gently wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief.

Shangguan Qian felt an intense pain in his throat, and asked with a hoarse voice, "Not bad."

"You're already so sick, what's there to be happy about it? The medicine has already been fried, you should drink it after cooling down later." Hong Ying choked up.

Shangguan Qian looked at the straightforward girl in front of him, and her eyes revealed a gratified smile. She remembered back then when she was Li Fengyi's wangfei, and because of Shen mother and daughter's provocation, she casually married Hong Ying out.

Every step she took was planned by the mother and daughter pair. In her previous life, she didn't have any schemes, so she treated them like family and cared for them, but in the end they ended up like that.

In this life, she would no longer be kind. She would no longer allow Shen mother and daughter to trample on her feet.

"Princess, I heard that Miss Shen caused trouble in the hall last night, and that's why she fell ill?" Cui Zhu gently stirred the soup with her spoon. Her large eyes were black and bright, and from time to time she revealed a crafty look. Coupled with her steady personality, it was obvious that she was an intelligent girl.

No wonder when Shen mother and daughter was on her way to marriage, he could not wait to drown her to death.

However, in this life, she would never let this happen again.

"Cui Yan, how did you stand vigil? Can you just let Shen Ruoqi barge in and disturb the princess? " Hong Ying glared fiercely at Cui Yan who was standing by the side and holding a basin, with his face full of complaints.

Cui Yan lowered his head slightly, and said uneasily, "At that time..."

"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. I only got sick because I blew on the window last night. Give me the medicine to drink." Shangguan Qian sat up, took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Princess ?" Even Cui Zhu couldn't help but frown, because it was very rare to see the princess drink all the medicine together, not even frowning a single time.

In her previous life, she had experienced all sorts of humiliations, no matter how painful, let alone taking medicine. This kind of suffering really meant nothing to her.

No matter how bitter the medicine was, could it still be that painful?
