Chapter 113: Legend of Zhen Huan 58
Zhen Huan stood there in a daze, knowing that she could not avoid being beaten by Huanbi, she had no choice but to step forward and slap Huanbi in the face while she looked at her in disbelief.
Although Zhen Huan, as a concubine, could not wear armor, she was still pampered and took good care of her nails. Even if she was hit lightly, Huanbi could feel the pain of her nails rubbing against her face.
But when Concubine Qi saw that Huanbi's expression didn't change at all, she was naturally dissatisfied.
"Wan Changzai, have you not eaten? Is that what you call beating? That's called touching. Cuiguo, go up and demonstrate it to Wan Changzai, and Wan Changzai should watch carefully."
Cuiguo did not have any deep hatred for Huanbi. At most, she just couldn't stand her behavior on weekdays. But now her queen asked her to do it, and even though Cuiguo felt sorry for Huanbi, she didn't dare to resist.
"Yes!"
Cuiguo walked gently to Huanbi, closed her eyes, and started fanning Huanbi's face.
"Snap, snap, snap, snap!"
Just a few slaps turned Huanbi's face red.
"Okay, I think Wan Changzai has learned it, so let's get started."
Zhen Huan had no choice but to slap Huanbi hard on the face. The continuous sound of slaps filled the quiet imperial garden.
After a very long time, Zhen Huan finally stopped. By then, Huanbi's face was already too pale to look at, but even so, she did not faint. Her eyes looked straight ahead, as if she was not the one being beaten.
Finally, the slapping punishment ended. Zhen Huan looked at her hands. Her right hand was a circle bigger than her left hand. Obviously, after slapping Huanbi fifty times, her own hand also suffered a lot of pain.
Concubine Qi looked at the stunned Zhen Huan, and thought that she had always been inferior to that woman in the past, so she finally vented her anger today.
"Well, since Concubine Wan has already punished me, let's end this matter today. I am tired, so Concubine Wan can go back. But Concubine Wan must also keep a close eye on this slave. I spared her this time, but she won't be so lucky next time."
Liuzhu noticed that Zhen Huan's right hand was clenched unnaturally, and felt something was wrong, so she quickly pulled Zhen Huan's hand to check, "My lady, let me see your hand."
Liuzhu carefully opened Zhen Huan's hand, only to see that her palm was red and there was blood on her fingers, "My lady, your hand is bleeding!"
Zhen Huan shook her head, "It's okay, help Huanbi up first, and then we can go back to Sui Yu Xuan."
"Yes."
While answering, Liuzhu helped Huanbi, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet. Huanbi stood up with the force and followed Liuzhu back to Shuiyuxuan in silence.
On the way back, they ran into Concubine Chun who came to the Imperial Garden to play. Zhen Huan no longer wanted to care whether Concubine Chun had just arrived or when she came. She had already lost all her face anyway.
As soon as they returned to Suiyuxuan, the servants saw how embarrassed Zhen Huan and Huanbi were and knew that something big had happened. However, in the past, at least they had Jingxi to ask. Now that Jingxi was gone, the servants had no say in front of Zhen Huan and did not dare to ask casually.
But even though they didn't ask, they were not ignorant and knew something about the situation. It was obvious that they were punished.
But Xiao Yunzi, who had taken advantage of Kang Luhai and others to climb up, saw Zhen Huan like this and approached her without any fear.
Zhen Huan saw him and said, "Xiao Yunzi, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Dr. Wen to come over and tell him that I am feeling unwell."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
"Liuzhu, go get a basin of water so I can clean Huanbi's wound."
Upon hearing this, Liuzhu hurried to fetch some water.
Huanbi had already laid down. Zhen Huan sat beside the bed and carefully wiped the blood off Huanbi's face with a wet towel.
"Huanbi, are you okay? Please don't be silent."
"hiss!"
The pain on her face finally brought Huanbi back to her senses. She pushed Zhen Huan away and poured the basin of water on her.
Huanbi yelled at Zhen Huan, "Don't touch me. It was you who injured me. Why are you still pretending to be nice to me? Now I am disfigured and my life is ruined. Are you satisfied now?"
Zhen Huan found it a little unbelievable, and she never expected that Huanbi would think of her like this.
"Huanbi, what are you talking about? You clearly knew that it was Concubine Qi who ordered me to beat you, so I..."
"She ordered you to fight, and you fought. So why didn't you go if she told you to die?"
As soon as Liuzhu came in with the medicine, she saw Zhen Huan being pushed to the ground with her clothes wet, and Huanbi saying such outrageous words.
She helped Zhen Huan up and said, "My lady, your clothes are all wet. I will ask Pei'er to help you change your clothes first."
Zhen Huan waved her hands, "I'm fine."
"How can it be okay? Your hand still hurts, my dear."
As Liuzhu spoke, she couldn't help but look at Huanbi again. She felt sorry for Huanbi's injury, but this couldn't be an excuse for her to vent her anger on the young lady.
"Huanbi, who told you to speak to the young master like that? Since we are the young master's slaves, we should protect the young master. Moreover, everything that happened today was caused by you. Not only do you not reflect on yourself, you are even blaming the young master here."
Huanbi was already in a state of mental confusion at this time, and the disfigurement had left her no time to care about anything else. Although it was Concubine Qi who actually gave the order, she was not someone she could deal with.
But Zhen Huan is different. She is Huanbi's sister and she will not do anything to Huanbi. Therefore, Huanbi instinctively returns the harm she has suffered to Zhen Huan twice.
"Shouldn't I blame her? Those were clearly the clothes she gave me as a reward. If I couldn't wear them, why would she give them to me? Why is she blaming me now? In the final analysis, she just treated me as a dispensable servant. She was even unwilling to help me when the unfavored Concubine Qi punished me."
Zhen Huan originally felt guilty for hitting Huanbi today, but Huanbi's words made her feel a little chilled. But even if Huanbi was injured today, Zhen Huan didn't want to bear the blame.
"Huanbi, you should know where those clothes I rewarded you with came from. If you hadn't kept asking for them, I wouldn't have given them to you. Now in your eyes, I have become someone who deliberately wanted to frame you. You are in a bad mood today, so go to bed early. I am a little tired, so I'm leaving first."
As soon as Zhen Huan returned to the room, Wen Shichu came over with a medicine box, followed by Kang Luhai, the eunuch in charge of Sui Yuxuan.
Although Kang Luhai guessed the reason, he wanted to know more about how Zhen Huan and her servant suffered such a setback, so he immediately followed in when he saw Doctor Wen.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Zhen Huan sitting on the couch and crying alone. Wen Shichu walked over quickly, "Huan... Concubine Wan, are you feeling unwell?"
Kang Luhai also asked with concern: "Yes, young master, what's wrong with you?"
Zhen Huan didn't want others to see her so vulnerable, so she waved her hand and said, "All of you go down."
Pei'er and the others saw this and did not dare to stop them. They just bowed and left.
Kang Luhai was walking at the back. After thinking for a while, he quietly slipped to the corner window, opened the window and looked inside quietly. Then he widened his eyes.
