Chapter 246 The Smelly Concubine
However, when Jiang Yimo heard that King Kang wanted to give her a generous reward, a ripple appeared in her heart.
After all, that Concubine Rou had been tortured by the stinky powder she had applied to her for a long time, making her feel neglected. The resentment she had suffered from Concubine Rou could now be vented.
At this moment, it would be better to remove the stinky powder on Concubine Rou's body and get some wealth from King Kang at the same time. Why not do it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo's mouth corners slightly raised, and a cunning look flashed in her eyes.
"During this period, I have made some careful studies on Concubine Rou's condition and have gained some insights. If Prince Kang trusts my medical skills, then I am willing to continue treating Concubine Rou for a period of time and observe the changes in her condition." Jiang Yimo said with a smile.
"Great! Since Miss Jiang has agreed so readily, and the sun is just setting, it's still early. Can you start diagnosing my mother today?"
King Kang looked at Jiang Yimo with great joy, with a hint of surprise in his eyes - after all, Jiang Yimo agreed to his request so readily this time.
Thinking of this, King Kang decided to strike while the iron was hot. He hurriedly urged Jiang Yimo to go to his mother's bedroom to see a doctor, and offered a very tempting condition in return - five hundred taels of gold.
If Jiang Yimo could really cure Concubine Rou's disgusting stink disease, King Kang would definitely reward her with another 500 taels of gold as a reward.
God!
Five hundred taels plus the five hundred taels promised before...that’s a total of one thousand taels of gold!
It wouldn't take her an hour to prepare the antidote of three deodorant powders, and she could easily get such a huge reward.
What a bargain!
Since King Kang asked her to go and treat Concubine Rou immediately, she might as well go. However, she must not cure Concubine Rou quickly, otherwise, Concubine Rou and King Kang would be suspicious and suspect that she had poisoned her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo raised her head and met Feng Wuhen's eyes. Feng Wuhen nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with her returning to the harem to examine Concubine Rou.
Afterwards, Feng Wuhen accompanied Jiang Yimo and Prince Kang to Chonghua Palace where Concubine Rou was.
At this moment, Chonghua Palace was deserted and silent, as if it had been forgotten by time.
When you step into the palace, you can only see a few palace maids walking slowly outside the corridor, and the small garden is overgrown with weeds and looks desolate.
Compared to when she first visited this place some time ago, the Chonghua Palace now looks particularly desolate and lonely.
Ever since Concubine Rou contracted that strange disease, she had been emitting a foul odor all over her body, which was extremely disgusting. At the same time, she had also lost the emperor's favor, and Prince Kang no longer frequently visited his mother in the palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs in Chonghua Palace all felt disgusted with Concubine Rou and often acted against her wishes; some palace maids and eunuchs even dared to insult Concubine Rou in private, calling her a "bedbug" or a "stinky woman" and other unbearable words.
Someone secretly reported these situations to Concubine Rou, who was almost angry enough to faint.
However, the stench emitted by Concubine Rou was so strong and pungent that sometimes when she went alone to the small garden in her palace for a short walk, it was enough to cause the flowers and plants in the garden to wither and die.
When the old emperor learned about this, he was furious and ordered that Concubine Rou was not allowed to step out of the bedroom, so as to prevent her from causing trouble outside and harming every plant and tree in the palace.
Therefore, poor Concubine Rou could only be imprisoned in her own bedroom, without seeing the sunlight all day long. After a long time, the environment in the room must not be very good, it was smelly, boring, and extremely hot!
A long time had passed like this, and even such an important occasion as the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the old emperor did not allow her to attend.
At this moment, Jiang Yimo and her companions stepped into the small garden of Chonghua Palace. Jiang Yimo quickly took out three blue disposable masks from her small bag and put them on neatly.
Then, she signaled Feng Wuhen and King Kang to follow her example. Feng Wuhen had worn a mask before, so he knew how to use it. He took the mask handed to him by Jiang Yimo and put it on swiftly.
King Kang was also a smart man. He knew at a glance what the blue cloth given by Jiang Yimo was used for, so he obediently did as he was told.
If they went in to see Concubine Rou without wearing a mask, they would not be able to stand the stench coming from her body.
Jiang Yimo knows best about the stinky powder she developed.
Because as time goes by, the poison will become more and more powerful, and the stench emanating from the poisoned person will become stronger and stronger.
Now, more than two months have passed since Jiang Yimo poisoned Concubine Rou. The stench emanating from her body must be enough to suffocate people!
The three of them put on masks, and King Kang carefully reached out his hand and gently knocked on the closed door twice.
Now, there are no palace servants guarding the door of Concubine Rou's bedroom, and no one will go to pass on the message unless you knock on the door.
After Prince Kang knocked twice, he heard no movement in the room, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped slowly into Concubine Rou's bedroom.
"Mother, I am here to see you again."
Concubine Rou, who had been sitting quietly by the window in her bedroom with a blank look in her eyes, suddenly heard this familiar and kind voice, and stood up from her chair as if struck by lightning.
"Cheng'er, you finally come to see mother!" His voice was full of excitement and joy.
When Prince Kang heard his mother's call, his heart warmed up. He quickly quickened his pace, leading Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo to rush to Concubine Rou in two steps.
At this moment, Concubine Rou had long lost her former elegance and grace. She was only wearing a simple and elegant dress. Her long black hair was not combed and was casually scattered around her waist. Her face no longer had the arrogance of the past.
The once stunningly beautiful woman now looks so haggard and lonely, which makes people feel pity for her.
"Mother, why have you become so haggard?" Prince Kang looked at Concubine Rou, who looked sick and haggard, and his heart was filled with heartache.
He walked forward quickly, tightly grasped Concubine Rou's bony hand, and asked with concern: "Mother, why have you become like this after not seeing you for such a short time?"
Concubine Rou shook her head gently and looked at Prince Kang with satisfaction in her eyes. It turned out that this arrogant and prickly woman could only be so kind to her own son.
She said softly: "Cheng'er, Mother is fine. As long as you are willing to come to see Mother, Mother will be satisfied."
However, only Concubine Rou herself knew that the various ups and downs she had experienced during these days had changed her a lot.
She may have had some sharp edges in the past, but now, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, those thorns have been polished smooth.
