Chapter 2115 Gao Yang Takes Action (1)
At Mingzhu's request, Queen Mother Wanyan sent someone to the clinic that night to bring the injured woman into the palace and let the imperial doctors diagnose and treat her.
The woman was seriously injured. If it weren't for Mingzhu's "Resurrection Pill", she would have died long ago. Even with the Resurrection Pill, she would have remained unconscious. The imperial doctors set bones, gave her acupuncture, massaged her, and fed her medicine. They were busy for a day and a night before she woke up.
Mingzhu thought that a concubine who served men with her beauty would be concerned about her appearance the first thing she would do after waking up. If she saw that her appearance was destroyed and her body was disabled, she would be desperate and would rather die than live.
However, to her surprise, the woman was very calm after waking up. Even when she learned that her face was destroyed and her legs were crippled, she did not shed a tear. She tried her best to cooperate with the imperial physician's treatment, eat and drink water. The fractures of her leg bones and ribs often made her sweat profusely, but she always clenched her teeth and bit her lips but refused to complain, which made Mingzhu admire her very much.
Originally, Mingzhu just felt sorry for her and saved her, but after discovering that she was such a tough and tenacious woman, she could not help but respect her and began to pay special attention to her.
Every day after returning from playing outside, she would visit her, care about her injuries, and sometimes chat with her.
Through chatting, she learned that the woman's surname was Xiao, and she was originally a prostitute in a brothel. Later, she was redeemed by her husband Li Nai and kept outside. Princess Gaoyang found out and took her back to the princess's mansion. This time, it was Princess Gaoyang herself who ordered her to be killed.
Originally, the princess only ordered to cut her face and break her legs, but the prince consort pleaded for her, which angered the princess, so she ordered to drag her to the street and beat her violently, so that the ignorant people would think that she was a promiscuous and dissolute woman, and spit on her and torture her in every way, and finally let her die on the street!
Xiao was very smart. She did not say that she was wronged by the princess and was harmed by jealousy. Instead, she said lightly that the prince consort Li pleaded for her, which was enough to make people believe that she was wronged for having sex with a servant. Otherwise, which man would forgive a woman who betrayed him and plead for a concubine who had sex with a servant?
Moreover, her speech and behavior were generous and decent, neither humble nor arrogant. When she learned that she was now in the palace, she was not terrified, but humbly thanked her, with full sincerity but no flattery, which made Mingzhu more interested in her and even had the idea of asking the turtle immortal to treat her.
It would be a pity if such a good woman was disfigured and disabled.
She contacted the Great Turtle Immortal with her mind and asked for his consent. Then the matter was settled. However, Dayong was far away from Dajin, and there was Qingluo Country in between. Xiao was too seriously injured to move now, so she could only wait until she was better before going there!
Wanyan Chao and Mingzhu stayed in Dayong for more than ten days. After seeing all the beautiful scenery in Dayong, they went to bid farewell to Queen Mother Wanyan and Queen Wanyan, saying that they were going back to Qingluo Country. Because she was afraid that the vicious Princess Gaoyang would not give up and attack Xiao again, Mingzhu specially entrusted Xiao to Queen Mother Wanyan and asked her to protect Xiao and prevent her from being killed again.
…
Princess Gaoyang was furious when she learned that her daughter was humiliated by Empress Dowager Wanyan at the banquet. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Wanyan Min, when my brother was alive, she wanted to squat down to hold my shoes and called me sister. Now that my brother is gone, she has become the empress dowager. Not only does she not care about the relationship between us, but she also humiliates my daughter in public. Isn't this a slap in my face?"
