“Where does it itch? This servant will scratch it for you, but Princess, you mustn’t do it yourself.” Yan Fei said patiently, though he felt a little helpless.
He clearly wanted to hate her, too, but seeing her like this, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Hearing Yan Fei’s words, Mu Yunge responded with a soft ‘hmm’ with her red eyes and then pointed to her face, neck, and other areas.
Seeing this, Yan Fei immediately reached out and gently scratched her face and neck with his fingertips.
Soon, the Empress rushed over.
“What’s wrong? What happened to Xiao Jiu’er again?”
The Empress looked at Mu Yunge’s face, covered in red rashes, her expression alarmed.
Why was her Xiao Jiu’er always so unlucky lately, getting into trouble every few days?
Seeing the Empress, Mu Yunge looked at her pitifully: “Mother, I feel itchy.”
Hearing this, the Empress quickly took Mu Yunge from Yan Fei’s arms.
Seeing this, Yan Fei quickly reminded her, “Your Majesty, please hold the Princess’s hand firmly. She’s probably having an allergic reaction. She shouldn’t scratch her face; her skin is delicate, and it wouldn’t be good if she broke the skin.”
The Empress nodded quickly and then grasped Mu Yunge’s arm.
Shortly afterward, the imperial physician arrived.
Seeing the red rash on Mu Yunge’s body, the imperial physician immediately said, “The Princess has a skin allergy. What did she come into contact with earlier?”
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei immediately replied, “The Princess was looking at perfumery earlier, and this happened after she came into contact with essential oils, pollen, and other substances. We just don’t know what she is allergic to. All the items are still in the outer hall. Please come with me, Daren1大人, dàren: adult / grownup / title of respect toward superiors .”
After saying that, Yan Fei led the imperial physician toward the outer hall.
After investigating, the imperial physician returned and reported, “Your Majesty, the Princess is likely allergic to essential oils. Have her eat plenty of diuretic and detoxifying foods today, and apply some ointment; she’ll be fine.”
The Empress breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
After the imperial physician left, the Empress said to Yan Fei, “Qi Xi, you and Chun Xiao help Xiao Jiu apply the ointment. I’ll be going out for a moment.”
The Empress’s expression was somewhat cold.
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei immediately nodded, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Upon reaching the outer hall, the Empress coldly looked at the kneeling eunuchs and maids and asked, “Who was it that prepared the incense just now?”
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling trembled and said, “Your Majesty, it was this servant.”
Seeing it was Zi Ling, the Empress narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice, “Do you know your crime?!”
Zi Ling knew that at this point, there was no other way but to admit her mistake. She could only kneel and kowtow, saying, “This servant knows her mistake, this servant knows her mistake! This servant shouldn’t have mixed incense in front of the Princess. Please punish me, Your Majesty.”
“Give her twenty strokes of the cane and send her to the laundry department! From now on, no essential oils are allowed in Weiyang Palace!” The Empress said coldly.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Soon, two rough eunuchs entered and dragged Zi Ling out. Everything in the hall was quickly removed.
The Empress sighed wearily, then looked at Nanny Zhang: “Nanny Zhang, haven’t you noticed that Xiao Jiu’er has been having a lot of accidents since she fell into the water? Do you think she might have encountered something unclean?”
Hearing this, Nanny Zhang immediately whispered, “If Your Majesty the Empress is feeling uneasy, why not go to Xiangguo Temple to ask for a peace talisman for the Princess, or take the Princess there to have a master help her get rid of the bad luck?”
The Empress nodded in agreement: “Very well. I will speak with the Emperor about it tonight.”
