2435 Melancholy

Qiaoqiao had left.

Even though he did not purposefully seek out this information, he still unwittingly followed after her that day. He calmly watched the two of them walk a distance away from Pingshan Town before summoning the golden dragon and departing on it.

Duan Yue felt that Qiaoqiao had taken his heart away with her too with her departure.

His chest felt empty, as if it was missing something. He was so unbearably lonely.

He propped his chin with his hand and fell into a daze.

It wasn’t until a hidden guard entered and stood solemnly beside him that he returned to the present. He asked evenly, “Have you prepared everything?”

“Yes.”

“You’re dismissed.” Duan Yue poured himself a cup of green tea and sipped from the tea cup.

When night fell, a piercing scream came from Princess Jiankang’s small courtyard.

After getting flogged 10 times in front of everyone, she had lost all face and self-respect.

Jiankang had never suffered such humiliation. At this moment, she was in a rage while lying facedown on her bed.

The angry empress ordered the two maidservants who had been applying medicine to be flogged 30 times. At this moment, the new palace maid applying medicine was shaking with fear and trepidation.

Jiankang screamed miserably the moment the medicine was applied.

It was already extremely discomfiting for a girl to be injured in that area. Princess Jiankang was ashamed, frustrated, and angry. Her injuries were also painful, itchy, and numb.

The way she wailed like a ghost pained Empress Liu’s heart.

Her pampered princess had actually been flogged 10 times and gotten so seriously hurt.

The empress got angry again and ordered the palace maid who had been applying medicine to be dragged out and beaten. The remaining people were trembling in fear, their knees weak.

From the looks of it, anyone who dressed the princess’s wound was going to get beaten!

“Imperial Mother, Imperial Mother, it hurts, Imperial Mother! Imperial Mother.” Rong Shanshan felt like her butt was not hers anymore.

Empress Liu couldn’t help but find the situation suspicious.

Even though her daughter did not have high cultivation, she was a level-eight mystic cultivator at present. Logically speaking, getting flogged 10 times should be no problem at all. How come it was hurting like this?

However, since her injuries were in that area of the body, it was not convenient for the imperial physicians to examine her closely. This truly troubled Empress Liu.

At this moment, her personal senior palace maid Miheng stepped forward and curtsied. She suggested, “Does Your Majesty still remember that female herbalist? There is no harm in having her examine the princess’s injuries.”

Empress Liu creased her brow.

That female herbalist Qingqing had been attending to the emperor after entering the palace. Because she was skilled in medicine, she had been helping the imperial physicians nurse the emperor’s health.

With time, the emperor seemed to have developed feelings for her, but how could Empress Liu allow a seductress to trample on her?

Empress Liu took action more swiftly than the emperor. Just as the emperor was about to issue an edict to confer a title on the lowly female herbalist, she transferred the latter to her side. She had already neglected her for more than half a year in her Renchuan Palace.

If not for her senior palace maid’s reminder today, she would not have remembered this person.

Empress Liu said coldly, “Then have her come take a look.”

Miheng nodded. A lowly herbalist naturally did not require the empress’s senior palace maid to seek her out. Someone else could bring her over.

Almost an hour had passed by the time the female herbalist Qingqing finished the examination.

Empress Liu could not help but chastise angrily when she saw Qingqing hesitating to speak. “Just speak frankly.”
