Chapter 174 The button given to Concubine Xiao awakened
Ruyi Palace.
Concubine Xiao locked herself in the inner room and refused to go out. She had been tortured by the itching powder and her appearance had changed drastically.
His eyes were bulging and swollen, his cheeks were thin, and his beautiful little face had turned into a shoe-horn face.
Fair skin also loses its firmness and elasticity, becomes dull and loses its luster.
Women in ancient times had a short lifespan, and at first glance she looks like a typical middle-aged or elderly woman.
Concubine Xiao burst into tears and slammed the bronze mirror with a loud "bang" in disbelief.
Then he threw his head on the bed, howling like a wild beast.
Aunt Yao, who was waiting at the door, covered her mouth with her hands and cried loudly.
The entire Ruyi Palace was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
*
suddenly,
The button hanging around Concubine Xiao's neck emitted a faint flickering light.
She was so surprised that she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. She trembled and quickly took off the button, looking at it, and it was indeed flashing with real light.
Xiao Ruyue was extremely excited and fell to her knees with a plop. She carefully held up the button with her palms and pressed it tightly against her face.
He asked anxiously in a low voice,
"Button, are you awake? Are you? Talk? Tell me quickly?
Wuwuwu…Since you brought me here, why did you abandon me and disappear for twenty years, twenty years! Why!…”
Her sobs gradually rose in volume, but the buttons only emitted a faint flickering light. There was no movement at all.
Xiao Ruyue was wailing in grief but still refused to give up. She stared at the button without blinking, unwilling to miss even a little bit of the light it emitted.
For a long time, no sound came out from inside.
*
Perhaps the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ruyue's eyes gradually dimmed, and she bit her lips tightly and said in a trembling voice,
"Am I going to die? Only then will you glow? Can I still follow you out of here if I die?
But it's been twenty years?! What's the point of returning to my past life? Everything there is no longer the same.
I have become accustomed to this kind of pampered life, how can I bear such hardship again? "
Xiao Ruyue was extremely heartbroken.
*
As she called out again and again without giving up, the faint light of the button gradually became brighter, and finally became dazzling little by little, like a shining gem.
Then,
Along with it came the long-lost sound coming from the buttons.
"Master, the button has been silent for too long and made you worried."
Suddenly hearing the voice inside, Xiao Ruyue was so surprised that tears burst out again, like a flood that had been opened, wetting the entire front of her clothes.
"You? You've awakened? You've finally awakened? Wuwuwu... It's been twenty years. More than twenty years! I thought I would never hear a word from you until I died."
He spoke incoherently, and at the end his voice choked with sobs and he could only cry excitedly.
Button seemed to be infected by her emotions and fell silent for a moment.
*
After a long while, the button in Concubine Xiao's hand made a sound again.
"Master, I'm awake. With me by your side, you won't be alone anymore and you don't need to be afraid anymore.
Now Button’s mission is to help you cure your illness first.
If you want to cure the itching and pain on your body, you need to soak in the natural hot spring pool in the back mountain for half an hour every day.
The natural sulfur in the hot spring water can kill bacteria and eliminate the itching and pain. You will be cured in half a month."
"Really?"
When Xiao Ruyue heard this, her eyes lit up. She wiped away her tears fiercely and asked expectantly,
"What about the scars on my body? And this ugly scar on my face?"
"Master, they will all disappear in half a month. Not only will your body recover to its original state, but it will also become younger and more beautiful."
"what?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ruyue was overjoyed. Then she thanked him repeatedly.
"Okay! Thank you, thank you! I trust you. I will listen to you."
Then he burst into laughter again.
*
But soon she thought of the doubt that had been bothering her, and asked,
"Button, was I poisoned? Can you find out who it was?"
"Master, the button version is too low and can't help you much. However, since God has awakened the button, it means that all your wishes will be fulfilled slowly."
The surprise came so suddenly that she was a little confused for a moment.
"Really? My wish? Hahaha..."
Xiao Ruyue had so many wishes that her mind was racing. She completely gave up on getting to the bottom of the matter when she was suffering from the itch to the point of being worse than death.
*
There was crying and laughing in the inner room, and now the crazy laughter of Concubine Xiao could be heard.
Aunt Yao, who was standing at the door nervously, was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop, knocked on the door anxiously and fearfully,
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please think positively! Please stop scaring the nurse! Wuuuuuu... the nurse is so heartbroken!"
Nanny Yao couldn't knock on the door of the inner room and kept crying.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Concubine Xiao seemed to be in high spirits, as if she had regained some energy, and she smiled and instructed Aunt Yao,
"Nurse, go get ready. I'm going to take a bath in the hot spring pool in the back mountain."
"what?"
Yao Ma was stunned for a moment. The two senior palace maids, Chunhua and Qiushi, who were still wiping their tears, bowed and responded quickly.
"Yes, Madam Concubine. We will prepare it right away."
Soon, Concubine Xiao put on a cloak and was carried in a sedan chair. The group walked tremblingly and ostentatiously to the hot spring pool in the back mountain.
At the same time, this explosive news spread to every corner of the harem.
The concubines all had the same exploding expression.
"Ah? What kind of demon is she going to do again?"
**
Time passed quickly, and half a month passed quickly. The women in the harem did not notice anything abnormal about Xiao Yaonu.
They only saw Concubine Xiao, wearing a large cloak covering her head and face, going to the back mountain to soak in the hot springs every day, and coming and going in a hurry.
Everyone who couldn't get any information was just watching and watching what would happen.
During the past half month, Emperor Kun did not come to visit, but instead sent Eunuch De to deliver a few small gifts from time to time to show his comfort and concern.
*
Ruyi Palace,
That day, Madam Yao knocked on the door and walked into the inner hall.
"My lady, Eunuch De is gone."
Xiao Ruyue, who was admiring herself in the bronze mirror, uttered a "tsk".
"Nurse, look! This is the man who always said he loved me. But now that he knows I'm disfigured, he doesn't even bother to put on a show!"
After Concubine Xiao finished speaking, she put down the bronze mirror and laughed bitterly.
"My Lady, the Emperor doesn't know that you have recovered. When he learns that you have recovered, he will see your stunning beauty again.
What's more, I hold you in my heart and pamper you?!"
