The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 459 Insufficient people

Seeing that the wound on her body was still bleeding, Xiaochu said softly, "My lady, I will ask the imperial physician to treat you."

"No need." She looked at the collar of her clothes that was already stained with blood, took out the hemostatic powder and sprinkled it on the wound. The powder fell on it, and white smoke came out of the wound. It was so painful just by looking at it, but after the smoke dissipated, the pain gradually subsided, and the wound on her chest had stopped bleeding.

"Isn't my current state embarrassing enough? If the imperial physician comes and spreads the news, I'm afraid my position as the head of the harem will be lost." She pointed to the box that Qiu Ze had sent a few days ago and said, "Put on the wig inside. I need to dress up."

"My lady, you still have wounds on your body!"

"It's just a small wound." She took off her clothes, and the wounds on her body had begun to heal slowly. Her face was no longer pale, and since the love poison left her body, it was as if she had left behind a heavy burden.

Xiaochu looked at her expression, and a hint of worry rose in his heart. What method did the queen use to make herself recover so quickly? With such an injury, even the sect master might not be able to recover in such a short time.

When Shang Ruoyi returned to the palace, her father had already woken up.

"Ruoyi." The King of the City had a worried look on his face. "The Western Region is now in danger. I'm afraid your father doesn't have time to accompany you in the manor." He said to Jun Zeqian beside him, "Take your sister to the manor. Fortunately, her identity has not been made public. Your father has been guarding the Western Region for many years and has offended many people. Now that the Western Region is in danger, someone will come to take revenge. You go to the manor to hide." He patted Shang Ruoyi's shoulder and said lovingly, "With your ability, you must have the power to protect yourself. Your father is relieved."

"Father." Jun Zeqian frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

"Back then, your father failed to protect your mother. Although I still don't know why she left, I will do my best to protect you now." He looked at Shang Ruoyi and whispered, "The emperor is seriously ill. The royal family of the Western Region has been decaying for too long. Worms grow in rotten meat and maggots grow in dried fish. Now the signs of chaos have already formed. The Western Region will not be peaceful. The trend of war is unstoppable."

"Mother left because of her health." Shang Ruoyi thought for a moment and said softly, "Mother's health is getting worse day by day, and she doesn't want you to be sad. Another reason is because of the queen. Although I don't know what happened between them, mother is very afraid of the queen and the forces behind her." She looked at her father meaningfully, "As for why the queen wants to embarrass mother, I think father knows it best. It's all caused by you."

Hearing this, the King of the City touched his nose and said, "When my father rejected the marriage proposal, he told her very clearly that if she insisted on marrying me, she would not be happy. It would be better for her to marry the prince and become the queen who can rule the country. She also agreed. Who could have thought that human desire is greedy and she wants power and me as well?"

Hearing him say this, Jun Zeqian's face changed slightly. Shang Ruoyi saw it and curled the corners of her lips silently. She thought that her brother should be able to empathize with her at this moment!

But then again, this Emperor of the Western Regions is really miserable.

The queen, who had slept with him for many years, thought about being with his younger brother, Prince Cheng, every day, and his beloved concubine was thinking about living together with Jun Zeqian.

It really proves the saying that those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods.

"You just said that your mother's health is getting worse day by day?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded. She didn’t want to say more about this topic because she didn’t know if there would be such a day for her.

If she talks too much now, her father will surely get worried.

"I don't know exactly what disease mother had. She didn't want to make you sad, and she also wanted me to be born safely. She thought that even if she was gone in the future, I would still have the protection of the Wei family. But she never expected that before her body completely collapsed, the Wei family would decline, and all the family property of the Wei family fell into the hands of Shangnian. Shangnian became reckless, and eventually mother died of illness." The real Shang Ruoyi was also tortured to death.

But then again, if it weren't for the harsh treatment from the Shang family, the original owner wouldn't have died, and there would have been no possibility for me to travel through time.

When her mother was mentioned again, Shang Ruoyi clearly felt that her father's mood was getting low.

"Father, I will never go to any farm. It doesn't matter how chaotic the Western Regions are. It's just a matter of clearing the emperor's court." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Besides, it's normal for a foolish emperor who only knows how to pray to gods and listen to the words of some bullshit Taoist priest to end up like this. The leader of a country should be a wise man."

The King of the City looked at her and said, "Who do you think is suitable to be the emperor?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "This is difficult for me. I just came to the Western Regions and I only know a handful of people. You have been in the Western Regions for many years. I think you know best whether there are any virtuous people among the emperor's princes."

Just then, a guard came over and said, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince sent someone to invite the Princess to come to the mansion."

Shang Ruoyi slapped her head and said, "Oh no, I completely forgot what I promised him that I would heal his mother." She turned to King Cheng and said, "Father, you don't have to wait for me for dinner." After she finished speaking, she ran out the door.

"Someone come!" The city king said hurriedly, "Follow the princess, quickly!"

More than a dozen figures flew away in an instant.

"This kid." The City King shook his head. Knowing that the situation is not peaceful, he still ran out so recklessly. It is really worrying.

Just as he was about to go back, he saw Jun Zeqian still in the same posture, with a look of heavy concern on his face.

"Agan."

Jun Zeqian frowned slightly and did not hear his father's voice.

"Agan."

"Father." Jun Zeqian said hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

The city king frowned: "What happened?"

"Nothing." He rubbed his temples. "There have been many military affairs recently, and my son was thinking about the military pay, so he was a little distracted."

The City King narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since you are tired, take a good rest!"

"Yes."

Watching his departing figure, the City King asked in a low voice, "What did the Crown Prince do in the palace today? Who did he meet?"

"The Crown Prince summoned the Prince to the palace today because he wanted to borrow money from our palace, but the Prince evaded the question." A deep voice came from the side.

"You only saw the prince?"

The man hesitated for a moment and continued, "The palace is heavily guarded, so I was not able to stay with the prince the whole time. But later I heard the princess saying that Concubine Xiao asked the prince to stay in the palace and talk for a while. As for what they talked about, I don't know."
