Chapter 292: Looks plain, snatches away the prince
As for the other concubines who had been bullied by Concubine Hua, the emperor could naturally use this incident as a lesson for them to be more sensible and not to care too much about Concubine Hua.
After all, it was not difficult for him to pamper Concubine Hua. He only needed to enjoy Concubine Hua's beauty and service. Anyway, he was not someone who could be bullied.
If Concubine Hua was a plain-looking woman, even if the Emperor wanted to appease the Nian family, he would not have favored Concubine Hua.
Now that Concubine Hua's face is ruined, if it cannot be completely cured, the Nian family should think of other ways, such as letting Concubine Hua's sister enter the palace to replace Concubine Hua.
This method is already an old routine of big families and is not considered to be too surprising.
As for sacrificing a woman's happiness and letting a young woman serve an old man who is much older than herself, it is not within their consideration. As long as they benefit from it, it is enough.
Concubine Hua and the woman who replaced her were just tools for them to interact with the emperor.
Soon, all the imperial doctors rushed over.
After seeing the wound on Concubine Hua's face, they couldn't help but shook their heads.
Seeing that every imperial physician had an extremely ugly expression on his face, Concubine Hua became more and more flustered.
"My face isn't actually that serious. It can still recover like this, right?"
Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians looked at each other in bewilderment, and none of them dared to be the first to step forward.
"Speak up, why aren't you talking? Is it so difficult to say a word?"
Concubine Hua shouted anxiously to the imperial doctors.
"Reporting to Her Majesty, I am really not very skilled in martial arts. I am afraid that I will not be able to restore the wound on Her Majesty's face to its original state."
It was the same imperial physician who stepped forward and spoke to Concubine Hua.
"Nonsense, they are all quacks!"
"Get out, all of you, get out of here."
Concubine Hua reached out and took another vase and threw it at the imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground.
The broken pieces of the vase immediately flew all over the floor, and the imperial doctors were so frightened that they trembled in fear and dared not speak.
The fragments even flew to the Queen Mother and the Queen, scaring the Queen so much that she quickly spoke harshly to Concubine Hua.
"Hua Fei, are you trying to commit a crime?"
"If the Queen Mother is injured, what will you use to compensate her?"
The Queen finally managed to catch Concubine Hua's weakness, so naturally she wanted to give her a good beating.
"Queen, it must be you who did it, right? You were the one who let that damn cat scratch my face."
The Queen's words immediately attracted Concubine Hua's attention. She looked at the Queen with red eyes and spoke loudly.
"Hua Fei, I understand that you are in such a bad mood right now, but this is not a reason for you to spit bloody words at me."
"The cat was held by Concubine Qi. It was frightened by the sound of the palace maid knocking over the teacup, so it pounced over. This was all an accident."
"Since you are like this now, I will not bother with you."
After disgusting Concubine Hua, the Queen did not forget to maintain her dignified and virtuous image, and acted generous and tolerant even when slandered by Concubine Hua.
When Concubine Hua saw this look, the fire in her heart burned even more fiercely.
"Your Majesty, this cat is usually fine. I don't know what happened."
"She must have been frightened by the sound of the little palace maid smashing the teacup, so she went crazy and hurt Concubine Hua. This has nothing to do with me."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi quickly knelt down at the Queen Mother's feet.
"Hua Fei, I know what happened today. It was indeed an accident."
"However, Concubine Qi was indeed wrong in this matter. These things that can hurt people should not be kept in this palace."
"I remember that this cat was given to the Queen by you, Concubine Qi. Now that something like this has happened, I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors for three months and copy scriptures to pray for Concubine Hua. Do you have any objection?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother also pushed the blame onto Concubine Qi. In order to protect the Queen, she had no choice but to let Concubine Qi come out to attract Concubine Hua's hatred.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Qi with sharp eyes, and she wished she could scratch Concubine Qi's face until there were several bloody marks on it.
When Concubine Qi heard the Queen Mother say this, she trembled and wanted to explain. But before she could say anything, she was blocked by Concubine Hua's eyes, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
The Queen Mother was too lazy to talk to her anymore when she saw this. She turned to look at Concubine Hua and said.
"Hua Fei, the words of the imperial physician are not absolute. If you recover well, your face will not be left with any big scars. When the time comes, you can use some makeup to cover it up so that it won't be noticeable. Go back to Yikun Palace and take good care of yourself."
"Queen Mother, I was seriously injured because of Concubine Qi's cat. Can I just let it go like this?"
Concubine Hua looked at the Queen Mother somewhat unwillingly and said.
"In that case, what do you want to do?"
The Queen Mother was not angry when she heard this. She looked at Concubine Hua and asked.
"I have been in the palace for many years but have never been able to have a child. Concubine Qi has committed such a sin now. I am sure she is not suitable to raise the Third Prince. Otherwise, you can bring the Third Prince to my palace to raise him."
Concubine Hua knew that today's events were closely related to the Queen. Although on the surface this matter had nothing to do with the Queen, her intuition told her that the Queen must be involved in this matter.
But now the emperor is not in the palace, and the queen is the niece of the queen mother, so the queen mother naturally will not do anything to the queen.
Concubine Qi said that the cat pounced on her because it was scared, but she felt that Concubine Qi deliberately did not hug the dead cat, which allowed the damn stinky cat to scratch her face.
Since Concubine Qi destroyed her most important thing, she would naturally take away Concubine Qi's most precious thing.
Didn’t Concubine Qi always like to boast about how filial the Third Prince was to her?
Then she would snatch the Third Prince away and let Concubine Qi feel the pain in her heart.
"Your Highness, you can't. The Third Prince is my lifeblood. I can't live without him."
"If you have anything to say to me, Concubine Hua, please come to me. Don't attack my Third Prince."
Concubine Qi first begged for mercy from the Queen Mother, then turned to Concubine Hua and spoke.
"Humph."
Hua Fei snorted coldly, showing no sign of showing any mercy.
She knew very well that her brother was now very powerful, and even the Emperor had to give in to her, let alone Concubine Qi.
"Your Highness, I can't. I can't give the Third Prince to Concubine Hua. I am willing to accept any punishment, but I can't lose the Third Prince."
When Concubine Qi saw that Concubine Hua had no intention of giving in, she quickly turned around and kowtowed to the Queen Mother several times, begging for mercy with each kowtow.
"Hua Fei, the Third Prince is already so old, he will need to find a wife in a few years, so why not just forget it."
Seeing this, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hua helplessly and tried to persuade her.
