Chapter 244 Skills are not as good as others
When Emperor Nanqiu woke up, it was already early the next morning. As soon as he woke up, he felt a burning pain all over his body.
The pain was mixed with a slight itch, making him want to scratch the wound.
It took Emperor Nanqiu quite a while to recall what had happened the day before.
This farce made him feel that he had lost all his authority. After ordering a thorough investigation, he forced himself to go see the Empress and the Ninth Princess.
Seeing the pitiful state of his wife and daughters, Emperor Nanqiu was consumed by rage, coughed up blood, and almost fainted.
He had never been so humiliated in his decades on the throne.
When Lu Jinyou was visited, she had just woken up and was startled to see her father's face covered in gauze.
This aggravated her wounds, and the pain brought her back to her senses, reminding her of what had happened the day before.
"Father, it was the Emperor of Dongxia. It must have been the Emperor of Dongxia who did it. He poisoned me and made me like this."
"What? Do you have any evidence to prove that?"
"I...I didn't."
Emperor Nanqiu narrowed his eyes as he looked at his beloved daughter.
"What exactly did you do?"
"I...I didn't do anything..."
"Tell the truth!"
The authoritative rebuke made Lu Jinyou dare not hide anything, and she told him everything that had happened yesterday.
Even without evidence, Emperor Nanqiu was basically certain that Emperor Dongxia was responsible for this.
But what good will it do to know?
His daughter provoked him first; what could he say if she was less skilled?
He thought that the matter was over after he had suffered this injustice in silence, but how could Leng Qingyi let him off so easily?
Originally, she only intended to target Lu Jinxian and did not plan to escalate the hatred to the level of the two countries.
But Nanqiu insisted on provoking her again and again, so she couldn't blame Nanqiu for showing no mercy.
Soon, Emperor Nanqiu witnessed the power of Emperor Dongxia.
The itching on my body was finally suppressed by the pain, but after only half a day, an unbearable itching came from the wound again.
The wounds that had just begun to heal were scratched open again by them.
After several repetitions, Emperor Nanqiu could no longer bear it, and the wounds that had been repeatedly scratched open began to fester and fester.
Especially Lu Jinyou and the Empress's faces; if this continues, they will definitely be disfigured.
How could a queen and a princess of a country face the world with such appearances?
After trying all the methods available at the Imperial Medical Academy without success, Emperor Nanqiu had no choice but to send someone to the embassy to seek help from Dongxia.
Upon learning of this, Leng Qingyi generously sent an imperial physician to the palace to treat them.
The treatment is very simple: apply the gold juice to the wound three times a day and it will heal completely.
Emperor Nanqiu really didn't want to use such a disgusting method.
After trying it on those palace maids, they found it to be surprisingly effective.
They convened the Imperial Medical Academy and discussed the matter for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a better solution.
With the Emperor's birthday approaching, Emperor Nanqiu had no choice but to accept his fate.
They couldn't even bathe during the treatment, which made things even more difficult for the Emperor, Empress, and Lu Jinyou.
The entire palace reeked of an indescribable stench, yet no one dared to speak out.
The Southern Autumn Emperor finally witnessed the methods of this Southern Autumn Emperor from Eastern Xia.
While the Emperor, Empress, and Lu Jinyou were suffering, they naturally didn't forget Lu Jinxian.
Leng Qingyi returned all the methods that Lu Jinxian had used on Ling Zhao in the past.
She was far away in the capital and couldn't reach Lu Jinxian, so he had a good life for a while. Now that she was in the Southern Autumn Imperial City, how could she let Lu Jinxian have an easy time?
The Southern Autumn Palace was in complete chaos in the days leading up to the Emperor's birthday.
The Emperor, Empress, and Ninth Princess were tormented by the itching and were barely recognizable. They finally made up their minds to seek help from Dongxia and even learned a method of applying golden juice to the wounds, which made the entire palace stink.
The Crown Prince's residence was the scene of assassinations almost every day, interspersed with deadly scenes such as riots of poisonous insects attacking the palace and servants suddenly going berserk and attacking the prince.
The masters of the Southern Autumn Palace were filled with unease. The emperor, empress, crown prince, and legitimate princess had all suffered; could they be next?
Amidst the tense atmosphere in the Southern Autumn Imperial Palace, the Emperor's birthday celebration finally arrived.
