Chapter 663 Stockholm Syndrome
Chun Changzai seemed to have long been accustomed to such things. He closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, as he prepared to greet the coming storm.
Prince Jin's slap suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his cold fingers stroked Chun Changzai's cheek. His tone was apparently gentle, but it was as chilling as a poisonous snake.
"How could I have forgotten that you are now my brother's concubine. If you hurt your face, it would be bad if others found out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Jin suddenly punched Chun Changzai in the stomach!
Chun was always in pain, and his deep, three-dimensional facial features were almost wrinkled together.
She had experienced similar things countless times, and she didn't even cry out in pain. She just gritted her teeth and endured it silently.
I don't know if it was out of pity for Chun Changzai, or because he was worried that hurting the person would affect subsequent plans.
Prince Jin did not stop once he started like he did in the past, but instead stepped forward and helped Chun Changzai up.
The ferocious look on his face faded away, replaced by a trace of heartache. He gently wiped away the tears on Chun Chang's face and asked with concern: "Hao Guli, does it hurt?"
Seeing the concern on this handsome face, Chun Chang seemed to be touched and shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt..."
"Guli is incompetent, and it is only right for the prince to punish her."
King Jin gently embraced her in his arms and sighed, "Guli, you know, although there are many women around me, you are the only one who is special in my heart."
"Why else would I hit you instead of others? It's because I have high hopes for you."
When Chun Changzai was beaten by Prince Jin for the first time, she was very scared and hated him very much.
But every time, after beating her, Prince Jin would hug her tenderly and comfort her, telling her his difficulties and why he had no choice.
As time went by, Chun Changzai actually developed an emotional identification with the King of Jin's behavior and even fell in love with him uncontrollably...
Her fear of Prince Jin gradually turned into sympathy and dependence, and she formed a solid alliance with him.
Ordinary people may not be able to understand this kind of emotion. If Jiang Wange knew these things, she would understand that Chun Changzai was suffering from what is often called "Stockholm syndrome" in later generations.
After calming down Chun Changzai, Prince Jin held her cheeks with both hands, his starry eyes filled with intoxicating tenderness: "Good Guli, don't disappoint me next time, understand?"
Chun Chang bit her lip and nodded: "Gu Li will definitely do her best to complete the prince's plan!"
Prince Jin touched her head tenderly like a lover: "Well, I believe in Guli."
"Well, it's getting late, you should go back soon, and it's time for me to leave the palace."
Chun Chang's eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance: "Can Guli still see the prince often?"
King Jin scratched her nose with his finger and asked, "What do you think?"
"As long as the plan succeeds soon, you can stay by my side forever."
Chun Changzai smiled sweetly: "Guli understands."
Then, she covered her stomach, staggered, and left looking back every few steps.
Not until Chun Changzai's figure disappeared did Prince Jin's eyes turn cold again. He shook his hands, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
Being an emperor's woman is also troublesome, as you can't enjoy fighting with her.
……
Yikun Palace.
Doukou walked in from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, Fuqiu, who is beside the Concubine Xian, wants to see you."
Concubine Dun was hugging the Third Prince and coaxing him. She was a little surprised, but she still smiled and said, "Let her come in."
"Yes."
After entering the inner room, Fuqiu bowed politely: "This servant greets the Concubine Dun. May the Concubine be blessed with good health!"
Concubine Dun looked at Fuqiu with a smile: "As expected of a member of the palace of the virtuous concubine, she is well-behaved, much better than those useless maids in this palace."
"Okay, no need to be polite, get up quickly."
Fuqiu lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Dun, thank you for your compliment."
Concubine Dun handed the Third Prince to the wet nurse, looked at Fuqiu and asked, "You are here at this time, does the Concubine Xian have any instructions?"
Fuqiu handed over the small box in her hand and said politely, "Her Majesty Dunpin was scratched by a wild cat yesterday. Our Majesty was very concerned about her, so she specially ordered this maid to bring this box of scar removal medicine."
Seeing Dunpin's eye signal, Doukou immediately took the small box.
Concubine Dun showed a bit of surprise and touched on her face: "I never thought that Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine would care about me so much. I am flattered..."
"Go back and tell Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine that I appreciate your kindness. When you are free, I will come to thank you in person."
Fuqiu bowed and said, "Our queen said that this is just a small favor, and asked Concubine Dun to not be polite."
"If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will go back and report first."
Concubine Dun asked someone to reward Fuqiu.
After she left, Doukou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian helped us yesterday, and today she sent someone to deliver this scar removal medicine."
"Although the concubines in the Dingguo Mansion have always been at odds with the virtuous concubine, I think the virtuous concubine may want to make peace..."
Concubine Dun didn't say anything, but just stretched out her hand and motioned Doukou to give her the ointment.
Xiao Tianzi had a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, although the virtuous concubine has shown you goodwill, we are in different camps, so we must be on guard against others..."
"This box of ointment... do you want to use it?"
Concubine Dun smiled meaningfully: "Yes. Why not?"
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Fuqiu stood in front of Shen Zhinian and reported: "I have delivered the ointment to Concubine Dun according to your instructions."
"As for whether she will use it, and whether she will do something naughty after using it... I don't know."
Shen Zhinian smiled slightly: "No problem."
Anyway, she just did it casually. If there was any gain, it would be fine. If there was no gain, there would be no loss either.
Handan came in and said, "Madam, Imperial Doctor Tang is here."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly.
After Tang Luochuan came in, he put down the medicine box, bowed respectfully, and then changed the medicine for Shen Zhinian as usual.
Fuqiu watched from the side and said with concern: "It has been almost fifty days since the Majesty was injured, and the Majesty seems to have recovered well from her injuries."
Handan nodded: "It is certain that Imperial Doctor Tang's medical skills are so good!"
"At this rate, there will definitely not be a single scar left on your arm."
Fuqiu said in a gentle voice: "The wound on your majesty was so deep, but Doctor Tang was able to make it leave no scar. His medical skills are indeed extraordinary."
As she said this, she glanced at Tang Luochuan secretly, her cheeks slightly red.
Tang Luochuan just lowered his head and did his own thing, with no extra expression on his face.
After finishing the job, he took a few steps back and waited for Shen Zhinian's instructions.
