Everyone talked for a while, and Queen Mother Shen saw that Huaichang had not behaved like a monster again, so she stopped humiliating her in front of Concubine Zhou and ordered the palace servants: "Go ahead and see if there is going to be a banquet?"
Not long after the palace talent left, he came back and said, "General Manager Jin sent someone over to report to the empress. Your Majesty is still dealing with state affairs with the priest, and the banquet will have to wait for some time."
So everyone continued chatting, and there were two people who were the quietest, one was Princess Huaixing who had just returned, and the other was Concubine Zhou.
After several cups of tea, Concubine Zhou stood up and said she wanted to change clothes.
Huaichang said: "A daughter serves her mother and concubine."
Concubine Zhou shook her head and said Huaichang would forget it.
Mu Yunhan saw this and when Zhou Taibi went out, he found an excuse and followed her.
The dressing area is located in the back ear room, which is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The inner one is convenient, and the outer one is equipped with water and incense.
Mu Yunhan washed his hands slowly and glanced out the window from time to time.
There was a sound of clothes inside, and then Concubine Zhou and her personal attendant came out.
Mu Yunhan looked back with a smile: "Concubine."
Zhou Taibin seemed to be stunned, and smiled lightly: "This is Mrs. Anguo, is it convenient for you to come too?"
Mu Yunhan said yes, but had no intention of going in for convenience. Instead, he stood by the window and looked at Princess Zhou with a smile.
Concubine Zhou didn't say much. She stretched out her hands and asked the palace servants to help her roll up her sleeves.
She has been bedridden all year round, she is as skinny as a stick, and her skin is so white that it is translucent.
The palace man tied up her sleeves to her wrists, but she thought they were not high enough, so she tied them up a little higher.
Mu Yunhan immediately noticed that there were two blue-purple marks on Zhou Taibi's thin, snow-white arm, her left forearm.
The palace attendants almost immediately took down Concubine Zhou's sleeves, grabbed her hand, wiped it quickly with a handkerchief, and helped her leave.
Concubine Zhou didn't have any special expression, and followed the palace people away very naturally and obediently.
Mu Yunhan shouted: "Concubine."
Concubine Zhou stopped and looked at her with gentle eyes: "Is there something wrong, madam?"
The palace man was slightly nervous and glanced at Mu Yunhan through the gap between his eyelashes.
Mu Yunhan smiled brightly: "It's nothing. I just noticed that your health has not been good. I suddenly remembered that our family doctor had come to the palace to diagnose and treat the Empress Dowager earlier. I think he also treated you at that time, right?"
Concubine Zhou nodded and smiled: "Yes."
Mu Yunhan said: "It's useless?"
Zhou Taibin's eyes moved slightly: "This is an old problem of mine. I can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Mu Yunhan rubbed his sleeves: "To be honest, I also learned medical skills from the medical elder for a while. Maybe I can show it to you?"
Concubine Zhou did not answer immediately, but glanced at the palace attendant who was supporting her, and then said slowly: "I'm sorry to thank you, but there's no need. I don't think it's good."
Mu Yunhan said: "I haven't read it yet."
Concubine Zhou shook her head, turned around and walked away firmly.
Only then did Xiaomi dare to ask Mu Yunhan: "What did Madam see?"
Mu Yunhan whispered: "Just now Huaichang went to help Concubine Zhou, which arm was he holding?"
Xiaomi is a martial arts practitioner. Even though he can't see the subtleties, he is much smarter than ordinary people.
She immediately simulated and restored the movements of Huaichang and Zhou Taibi at that time, as well as the positions and postures of standing and sitting, and said: "Left hand forearm."
That's pretty much the same thing. The bruises on Concubine Zhou's arm were probably pinched by Huaichang.
