Chapter 57.1: Anger

Wei Yingluo would not really have gone to the trouble of collecting the aloe vera juice. 

   The aloe vera juice actually came from Ye Tianshi.

 

   Since it works, ask for another box and ask what is really on your mind. 

   “Physician Ye, as you told me, I was to take the Fifth Prince to the sun regularly, now he is not only yellow, he is white and lovely!” She said, “Is there anything else I should take care of after that?” 

   “No, just eat well and sleep well and he'll grow up safely.” Ye Tianshi laughed and said, “By the way, you only care about Fifth Prince, not about his Majesty's condition?” 

   Who cares about him? Wei Yingluo said with a smile on her face: “Of course I do, Physician Ye, when will his Majesty be well?” 

   “His Majesty's scabies, it can be cured in a month but now it has taken so long...” Ye Tianshi said in a hesitant voice, “I have read the Imperial Physician's prescriptions for the Emperor, I have a different opinion.” 

   “Oh?” Wei Yingluo's heart stirred and he said, “What does Physician Ye mean?” 

   “Your Majesty's scabies is not necessarily infected, it is...” Ye Tianshi beckoned, gesturing for Wei Yingluo to come over, then bent down slightly and whispered something in her ear. 

   Wei Yingluo listened with increasing astonishment and said: “What...” 

   “Well?” Ye Tianshi reared up and said, “If Miss Yingluo refuses, I won't force her myself, this is a risky business, one bad move and your head will fall...” 

   Wei Yingluo reckoned that he was not the only one who had sought her out but the others, having heard his idea, had all refused outright. So, he searched and searched and found her, the little court lady. 

   “... But if it works, it will be a great achievement.” Ye Tianshi laughed and said, “The first credit will be yours, I will at most share in it.” 

   But the risk was all Wei Yingluo's, if it came to pass, if it failed, Wei Yingluo would be the only one punished. 

   But thinking of Hongli's sinister face, thinking of the Empress, who was losing weight from night to night praying for him, Wei Yingluo laughed and said: “There is no such thing as a risk... I'll do it.” 

   The White Pony Passes and a few days pass by. 

   The Yanxin Palace was in chaos, Hongli tore at his clothes, his fingernails scratched at his flesh, leaving scratch marks. 

   “Your Majesty, no more scratching, really no more touching!” Liyu was sweating, “The scabs will all open up!” 

   “Where is Wei Yingluo?” Hongli held back but couldn't hold back any longer, his fingernails dug into the flesh again, “Get her, bring the aloe vera juice you put on Zhen last time!” 

   The pain was in his body and in the Empress's heart, the Empress stood by helplessly, trying several times to put her arms around him to stop him from torturing herself but was hastily stopped by the palace attendant at her side. 

   One emperor has already been sick, not another the Empress. 

   Hearing Hongli's words, the Empress was like a lifeline, she cried out: “Yingluo! Do you hear me? Is there any more aloe vera juice, bring it up if you have it!” 

   “Niangniang.” Wei Yingluo answered in a submissive voice, walked over to her and said, “Aloe vera treats the symptoms but not the root cause, Zhang Yuanzhen said, Your Majesty should meditate on his illness, no haste...” 

   There was a clang, Hongli in his anger, overturned the antique shelf beside him, the curiosities on the shelf fell to the ground, several pieces of porcelain turned into numerous shards, one of which splashed out to the shock of the crowd, across the back of the Empress' hand. 

   “Niangniang!” Wei Yingluo rushed up to her and took her hand and saw a long wound on the back of her well-kept hand, blood was slowly spilling out along the wound, dripping onto the ground. 

   A fit of uncontrollable anger rose from Wei Yingluo's heart, she turned her head back and said coldly: “Your Majesty, you are not a wise ruler to take your anger out on others like this.” 

   In a fit of rage, no one would dare to touch Hongli, let alone accuse him to his face. 

   Even Hongli himself could not believe his ears and only after a long time did he stare incredulously at Wei Yingluo and said to her: “... What did you say? Say it again!” 

   Anyone else, would never dare to repeat, not to mention repeat and even deny what he had said. 

   “Your Majesty, you are not a wise ruler to take your anger at others like this.” As a result Wei Yingluo not only repeated but added something even worse, “The Concubines and Consorts of the palace, when they heard that the Emperor was ill, were very concerned with their mouths but their feet were on wheels of fire, one running faster than the other away from you! Only the Empress Niangniang, dressed to the nines, tended to you day and night but the Emperor was indiscriminate, imposed pain on others, oh, what a good Emperor, what a good husband.” 

   Hongli had never been so reprimanded, he was so angry that his eyes turned black, he pointed at her and could not speak. 

   “Yingluo, how can you contradict the Emperor like that!” The Empress said in horror, “Get out of here!” 

   She felt sorry for Wei Yingluo and offered to give her a step down but instead of accepting it Wei Yingluo shouted: “This lowly servant is not wrong! Since the resumption of Noble Consort Hui, the Emperor's rewards have been flowing into the Chuxiu Palace, where is the Changchun Palace, nothing has been seen going there, why is this!”
