Chapter 309: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Fifty-Eight)

Cui Li looked at the box of ointment and moved her right foot slightly. Was this what Xuan Yunian asked Qiao Zhi to bring? In fact, her feet were no longer red and swollen when she came back last night.

She gestured to Cuiyun to take the ointment.

Cuiyun took the ointment and smelled its fragrance. She was a little puzzled as to why Court Judge Qiao would give the ointment to the empress. But she also felt that this man was not as dangerous as he looked and he also knew how to care for others.

Cui Li: "Thank you very much, Judge Qiao. I'll prepare it first, hoping that it won't be needed one day."

Qiao Zhi: "I also hope that the Queen is safe and sound. This ointment is just in case."

Qiao Zhi's ears moved slightly, and he felt that Concubine Cui's voice was melodious and it was a real pleasure to listen to her speak. It was a pity that she didn't talk much, alas!

Looking at the ointment in the maid's hand, Qiao Zhi's eyes flashed with curiosity. He had heard that Xuan Yunian and Concubine Cui were good friends, but why was he asked to deliver the ointment? Could it be that Concubine Cui was injured? Even if she was injured, how would Xuan Yunian know?

Qiao Zhi: "It is getting late. I will take my leave now. If you need anything, Your Majesty, please send someone to the Imperial Hospital to summon me."

Cui Li: "President Qiao, take care. Thank you for your concern."

This time the pulse diagnosis was not conducted in the house, but in the small garden. When the breeze blew, Qiao Zhi saw the true face of Concubine Cui, and his figure hesitated as he left.

Her right hand supported half of her face, and she was talking to the palace maid with a smile. She had a face as white as lotus, wrists as white as frost, eyes as clear as autumn water, red lips and black hair. She was a fairy concubine.

The smile on the corner of the woman's lips went straight into Qiao Zhi's heart, making him happy as well. He couldn't help but look forward to the next pulse diagnosis.

After Liang Sheng left the court, he still had to deal with memorials. After he had dealt with most of them, he rushed to have lunch with Cui Li.

After lunch, Cui Li seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally asked.

Cui Li: "Brother Sheng, now that the Wanshou Festival is over, can you tell Li'er everything?"

Liang Sheng looked at Cui Li in surprise. He didn't expect her to ask about amnesia so soon.

Cui Li: "Li'er doesn't want to live in a muddle anymore. Can you understand my helplessness? Last night, you were drinking happily in Longhe Palace, but Li'er could only look at Longhe Palace from afar in the palace. You all kept it a secret from me. I smiled on the surface, but I was confused and helpless in my heart. I even dared not leave Chengqian Palace, for fear that I would discover the things you tried so hard to hide, which would make both me and you sad."

Liang Sheng couldn't bear to see Cui Li's tears, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her red eyes.

Liang Sheng: "Li'er, this is a long story, and it's getting even more complicated. How about I tell you in a few days? I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Cui Li: "You are becoming more and more perfunctory towards me! Do you believe that I am depressed and my health is getting worse?"

She swung her sleeves unhappily, turned sideways to him and said nothing.

Liang Sheng tried to coax him for a while but it didn't work. He didn't know where to start. He tried to speak several times but in the end he didn't say anything.

Cui Li: "Are you really not going to tell me? If you don't, I'll ask my aunt!"

Seeing her choked up, Liang Sheng felt distressed and helpless. He didn't know why she was so tough today, and no matter how he tried to change the subject, it was useless.

Finally, he called Cuiyun outside the house and asked about the results of today's pulse diagnosis. After confirming that Cui Li was in good health, he let Cuiyun leave.

Cuiyun's eyes were full of worry when she left. After she retreated, she called a palace maid over worriedly and whispered a few instructions to her.

Inside the house, Liang Sheng could only tell her about what had happened in the past few years, his helplessness and pain, and how Zhao Hua had played tricks on him.

Cui Li: "So, you've already married! Why did you keep me confined to the palace after you married the Ji family girl?"
