Dongfang Ziqing looked at the pale Xue Mei lying on the bed. She could not help but feel pain in her heart. Dongfang Ziqing would rather be the one lying there right now. She would rather be the one being stabbed. Dongfang Ziqing would rather be the one being injured. Although Dongfang Ziqing and Xue Mei were master and servant, in Dongfang Ziqing's eyes, Xue Mei was already her sister. Or perhaps, their family was more intimate.

"Xuemei, don't think about anything else and just rest up like last time. You don't have to worry about anything. Also, Xuemei, you are so stupid, why did you block it? "Sigh." As Dongfang Ziqing spoke, she unconsciously felt her heart ache with traces of sadness.

"Empress, Xuemei is fine. The Empress did not wish for Xuemei to be injured, and the same was true for Xuemei. But Xuemei was even more determined that when Xuemei and the Empress were together, Xuemei would not allow the Empress to be harmed in the slightest. As long as the Empress was fine, there was no need to worry about Xuemei. Xuemei was still the same as last time, she would be perfectly fine after a day or two of rest. Besides, Xuemei only suffered a little injury on her arm. It's not a big deal. " However, Xue Mei answered Dongfang Ziqing with a relaxed expression.

"Xuemei, rest well. The Empress will definitely find out the true reason for this matter. The Empress definitely wouldn't let Xue Mei be injured on her own. The person who hurt Xue Mei was essentially hurting the Empress. The Empress would definitely seek justice for Xue Mei for her. "Niangniang, go out first. Xuemei, lie down first." Dongfang Ziqing left after she finished speaking.

Xue Mei looked at Dongfang Ziqing's leaving figure and felt grateful. It was because Dongfang Ziqing had taken such a master that she had such a hardworking maid. If he wanted it, he had to give it to her first. In short, if it was Xuemei today, Dongfang Ziqing would try her best to block in front of Xuemei without caring about her own safety.

Dongfang Ziqing walked out of the inner room through the bead curtain and arrived at the outer room of her own chamber. Dongfang Ziqing saw the imperial physician that Xuanyuan Chen had told Xiaobao to pass on was still working nervously, so she walked over and asked, "Imperial Physician, how is Xuemei's injury? Is it serious? "

By now, the imperial physician had already received word from the emperor that he would treat the injuries on Xue Mei's arm, the maid who was standing by Imperial Concubine Yuwen's side. Although this imperial physician didn't quite understand why even a maid of Imperial Concubine Yuwen was worthy of the Emperor's attention, he still did his best to treat Xue Mei's injuries.

"To reply Imperial Concubine Yuwen, although Xue Mei's injuries are only superficial, she has lost too much blood and needs to rest." In addition to being frightened, Imperial Concubine Yuwen had to let Xue Mei rest well for a few days before she could recover. This official has already prepared a few prescriptions, and has also ordered the emperor to send over some good tonics. As long as Imperial Concubine Yuwen follows the instructions written down in the prescription and makes the medicine concoction, this official believes that Xuemei will be able to serve the esteemed lady once again in a few days. " The imperial physician replied respectfully.

Now, everyone in the imperial harem knew that the newly promoted imperial concubine Yuwen had become the most favored imperial concubine by the emperor's side. Everyone in the harem was envious, but there was also a lot of respect. It was no longer the time when Dongfang Ziqing had just entered the palace. Anyone could pop out and mock and ridicule her.

"Then I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician to take a look at the reward." Dong Fang Zi Qing said happily. Then, a palace maid by the side brought a large gold ingot to the imperial physician.

Dongfang Ziqing was truly relieved when she heard the imperial physician say that Xuemei was fine. Although Dongfang Ziqing knew that her injuries couldn't be that serious, but when she saw that her sleeves were dyed red, Dongfang Ziqing was still shocked.

At this moment, after hearing what the Imperial Physician had said, Dongfang Ziqing finally felt truly at ease. Afterwards, Dongfang Ziqing signaled for the imperial physician to step down. Only then did she have the time and mood to ponder the strangeness and strangeness of what had happened today at the Aegis Pavilion luncheon.

Originally, at the beginning of the luncheon, Dongfang Ziqing was going to sit in the seat near the emperor Xuanyuan Chen Mo, but the emperor who was standing to one side said to Dongfang Ziqing, "Little sister, although today's Blessing Assembly is mainly about our imperial harem, there are still several ministers of the court having dinner together. Big sister is going to eat with the emperor, and there can't be no one taking care of the emperor.

Do you remember what your sister said to your sister this morning? Sister hopes that sister has free time, can help sister share some of the affairs of harem. Many younger sisters from the harem also came to pay their respects to the luncheon. They greeted the younger sisters from the harem on behalf of their older sisters.

The elder sister was giving the younger sister a chance to exchange feelings with the younger sisters of the imperial harem to improve their understanding of each other. Otherwise, when his sister was walking around the imperial harem, she would have some unnecessary misunderstandings.

Big sister knows that little sister will definitely not let big sister down, right? His elder sister had already arranged everything beforehand for his younger sister to take her seat. "Elder sister will go and serve the emperor first." Shangguan Tianxue said passionately, then left in a hurry without waiting for Dong Fang Ziqing's reply. Of course, Dongfang Ziqing knew that Shangguan Tianyue wouldn't say something like that, but in front of the crowd, Shangguan Tianyue didn't give Dongfang Ziqing any room to reject him. She just accepted it and sat in the seat prepared for her by Shangguan Mang Xue.

Dongfang Ziqing had just sat down when she felt two very unfriendly gazes looking at her. Dongfang Ziqing followed the direction of the gaze and looked over. It turned out to be Imperial Concubine Chen and Imperial Concubine Nalan. Dongfang Ziqing relaxed when she saw the two of them. It turned out that they were the ones who had provoked the old grudge between himself, Imperial Concubine Chen, and the Imperial Concubine Nalan, and that was why they made such arrangements.

Dongfang Ziqing smiled faintly as she thought of this. Then, she looked back at him with an even more unfriendly gaze. Since they met again, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, Dongfang Ziqing looked at these two who didn't know what was good for them and decided to teach them a small lesson.

Just as Dongfang Ziqing was about to make another move, Imperial Concubine Chen and Imperial Concubine Nalan suddenly avoided her gaze. For a moment, Dongfang Ziqing couldn't casually find an excuse to cause trouble for her. At this moment, Dongfang Ziqing looked around her surroundings but there wasn't anything special about her. Even Imperial Concubine Chen and Imperial Concubine Nalan were quite a distance away from her.

The only thing that Dongfang Ziqing thought was strange was that not far from her was a rather good-looking bamboo plant. Dongfang Ziqing couldn't think of anything wrong, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Right at this moment, Little Treasure's unique voice sounded from inside the Archaic Pavilion. Everyone started to move their chopsticks, and Dongfang Ziqing started to taste the luncheon prepared by the empress, leaving everything else behind for the time being.

One had to say, the luncheon prepared by Shangguan Canxue had indeed cost him quite a bit of effort. Not only were there many dishes, but they were quite delicious. The more Dongfang Ziqing ate, the more she felt that it was not bad, so she let Xuemei to eat with her. While eating, Dongfang Ziqing also couldn't help but think of that pearl she loved to eat. If it was a pearl here, it would probably eat it happily.

But Pearl still had to take care of Yi Fei today, so she definitely wouldn't have the time to come over. After everyone ate for a while, a group of palace maids came over and served them another cup of hot tea. He didn't know what kind of tea was this, but before he even drank it, he already felt a strong aroma wafting in the air. Dongfang Ziqing picked up the teacup and took a sip. As expected, she felt refreshed, and the fragrance of the tea permeated everywhere. After drinking it, she even felt the fragrance lingering on her lips.

When Dongfang Ziqing drank a mouthful of hot tea and put down the teacup in her hand, she also heard waves of praises from the concubine of the imperial harem. Dongfang Ziqing then turned to Xue Mei, who was standing behind her, and said, "Xue Mei, after the afternoon banquet is over, find someone to find out what kind of tea this is and why it tastes so good."
