Chapter 303: Visiting Concubine Hua and Stabilizing the Nian Family
After coming out of Shuiyuxuan, he originally wanted to go directly to find Xier.
But after thinking it over carefully, he decided to go to Yiku Palace to visit Concubine Hua.
After all, Concubine Hua has been caring for me for so many years. Now that something like this has happened, he naturally has to go and take a look.
But as soon as the emperor arrived at the Yikun Palace, he heard the sound of porcelain breaking coming from inside, which made him frown.
When I walked in, I found that the floor of the Yiku Palace was covered with broken porcelain pieces. A maid was kneeling on the broken porcelain pieces. There was even blood oozing from her knees, and there was a very obvious slap mark on her face. She looked extremely miserable.
"What's this fuss about?"
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua with an unhappy look and asked.
"emperor."
Concubine Hua didn't expect that the emperor would return to the palace, which made her subconsciously smile and want to greet him.
But when she was halfway through, she suddenly realized the wound on her face and quickly reached out to cover her face.
"Greetings to the Emperor, may your Majesty be blessed with peace and blessings."
When the emperor saw Concubine Hua like this, the anger in his heart couldn't help but subside a little.
"Okay, get up."
The emperor reached out and helped Concubine Hua up.
"What's going on?"
The emperor looked at the mess on the ground and asked.
"Reporting to the emperor, it was this servant who was careless in serving the queen and broke the spring scene vase that the queen loved the most. So the queen was angry and punished this maid to kneel down."
Seeing this, Songzhi quickly found an excuse to exonerate her queen.
The emperor could naturally see that the matter was not as simple as Songzhi said, but he couldn't punish Concubine Hua just because of a palace maid.
"I see. However, the maids in the palace are all from the Eight Banners. If they really make a mistake, they will be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will only discipline them."
The emperor spoke in a tone that was neither light nor heavy.
"Okay, pack up your things and go down quickly."
The emperor waved his hand and said to the palace maid kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, are you blaming me? It was the maid who did something wrong, so I punished her."
Although the fact was that it was just because the palace maid spoke in a bad tone and happened to happen that Concubine Hua was upset about the wound on her face, so Concubine Hua found a reason to vent her anger on her.
But she was not stupid enough to tell the truth herself. Instead, she thought that the emperor was so harsh on her because he was tired of her because of the scar on her face.
Some even thought that the other party deliberately pretended to be so pitiful in front of the emperor in order to trick the emperor into speaking for her.
The more Concubine Hua thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and she glared at the palace maid fiercely.
She planned to wait until the emperor left, and then instruct Zhou Ninghai to get rid of this damn bitch.
"That's not what I meant."
The emperor sighed helplessly and said.
"Your Majesty, I am in a very bad state now. Your Majesty should go to another palace."
Hua Fei covered her face, and spoke in a wronged tone, completely changing her usual unbridled and unruly look.
"So I'm really leaving?"
The emperor couldn't help but sigh and spoke in a flat tone, but he didn't show any intention of moving.
"emperor."
Concubine Hua didn't expect that the emperor was actually planning to leave. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the emperor's sleeve, looking at him with sad eyes, just in time to meet the emperor's eyes with a slight smile.
This finally made Hua Fei feel at ease. She realized that the Emperor was indeed sincere to her and not as ruthless as she had imagined.
"Okay, I don't know you yet."
"If I really leave, won't you overturn this Yikun Palace?"
The emperor walked to the couch and sat down, then looked at Concubine Hua with a smile in his eyes and said.
Hua Fei did have a wound on her face, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he had seen how truly sincere Hua Fei had been to him.
He was not the kind of person who easily got bored with the old and loved the new. Even though Nian Gengyao acted like this, he never thought of implicating Concubine Hua.
Now Hua Fei has only lost her looks, and he will not completely forget everything that happened.
On the contrary, when he looked at the self-deprecating Concubine Hua, he felt a lot of pity in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I thought Your Majesty would be disgusted by my current appearance."
Concubine Hua pursed her lips and spoke with some sadness.
"What did the doctor say?"
The emperor asked.
"The imperial physician said that even if my face recovers, it will still leave a deep scar."
Hua Fei lowered her head and spoke with some sadness.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, she couldn't hide this kind of thing.
"However, if this scar can be taken care of, it can be covered up with some makeup in the future and will not be very noticeable."
Hua Fei hurriedly explained in a hurry.
"Don't worry, even if you have a scar on your face, I will not let you down."
Upon seeing this, the emperor reached out and held Hua Fei's hand and spoke softly.
"emperor."
Concubine Hua was quite moved and threw herself into the emperor's arms. The emperor's words completely calmed her originally uneasy heart.
How scared she was during this period. She was afraid that the emperor would show a disgusted expression when he saw her, that the scars on her face could not be covered up, and even more afraid that other girls in the Nian family would snatch the emperor away.
"I am so scared. If the emperor doesn't like me anymore, I really don't know how I can survive in this palace."
The emperor found it somewhat new to hear Hua Fei's affectionate words. After all, Hua Fei always behaved in front of him in a willful and flamboyant manner, and it was very rare to see her looking so weak and helpless.
"How could that be? You are my concubine Hua, how could you not survive?"
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua with a smile and spoke to comfort her.
After all, he needed Hua Fei to be between him and the Nian family. His favoritism towards Hua Fei would be able to dispel Nian Gengyao's guard to the greatest extent possible.
Now that the play has reached this point, how could he allow a temporary change of roles?
He knew clearly how sincere Hua Fei was to him. If it were someone else, it would probably not be easy to dispel the other person's guard.
The emperor's gentle words finally calmed Concubine Hua's anxious heart.
"Okay, it's getting late. I have to go to Chengqian Palace to see Sixth Prince. You should have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow."
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua and spoke.
"emperor."
Concubine Hua stared at the emperor with some reluctance, wanting to keep him here. However, the wound on her face had not yet healed, so she naturally could not let the emperor stay overnight with her.
"Go to bed early."
The emperor had been busy for so long, appeasing two women in a row, and was exhausted both physically and mentally. He now just wanted to return to Chengqian Palace to enjoy the company of his beloved wife and young son.
Concubine Hua looked at the emperor's leaving back with full of nostalgia.
