Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

Chu Wanrou looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her fingernails lightly stroking her face, both shocked and angry.

The person inside had red spots on their cheeks.

One red dot after another spread across her cheeks.

At first glance, there were dozens of red spots on each cheek.

"hiss."

A tickling sensation came from the red spots on my face.

"Quickly! Call the imperial physician."

Chu Wanrou was extremely agitated and shouted.

Zi Yuan was terrified and rushed out, only to run headfirst into a solid chest.

"Physician Gao?" Zi Yuan was first shocked, then overjoyed. "Quick! Take a look at my young lady."

The physician looked puzzled.

He came here because the young master sent him, but he never expected to encounter such a flustered maid as soon as he arrived.

What's wrong with the second young lady?

Ziyuan led the physician into the manor, and Chu Wanrou was overjoyed.

They managed to get the royal physician here so quickly?

"Physician, please take a look at the rash on my daughter's face. What's wrong with it?"

When the physician from the Gao family saw Chu Wanrou's face, he was startled.

He immediately went forward to check, and remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong? Tell me."

Zi Yuan said impatiently.

The young master is preparing to propose marriage; the young lady cannot go to see him like this.

"Second Miss, your symptoms are exactly the same as the Eldest Young Master's. The Eldest Young Master also has rashes on his face and body. I will prescribe some medicine for you. You should take a medicinal bath once a day and take the decoction orally three times a day. You should recover in less than three days."

After the physician finished speaking, his gaze fell on Chu Wanrou, as if he were hinting at something.

"Okay. First, prescribe some anti-itch ointment for me. Don't worry, I'll take good care of your sister."

"Yes."

The physician's eyes flashed, he nodded, and picked up his pen to write a prescription.

"By the way, how did this rash appear? Is there any way to make Chu Xunzhen get this kind of red rash too?"

Chu Wanrou gave a cold laugh.

Why is Chu Xunzhen safe and sound, while she has to suffer from this rash?

The physician was taken aback and said, "Red rashes are usually caused by wind-dampness or allergies. Perhaps the second young lady and the eldest young master have ingested something that triggers an allergic reaction. I don't know what to do."

Chu Wanrou glared angrily at Gao Mingshan.

They look decent enough, but they're completely useless.

If it weren't for her father's fondness for using him, she wouldn't have even considered using him.

"You definitely have a way to disfigure Chu Xunzhen. If you don't tell me, you know the consequences." Chu Wanrou smiled, her eyes full of threat.

Does she like to seduce the crown prince?

The Ninth Prince was completely bewitched by that vile woman.

Although he is mentally challenged and infertile, he is still a prince.

How could Chu Xunzhen possibly deserve the Ninth Prince's favor?

Gao Mingshan remained silent for a long time, but still gritted his teeth and said, "This humble person only knows how to cure diseases and save lives, and has never studied poisons."

Chu Wanrou sneered, "So-called doctors and poisoners are one family. I see you don't want to tell me. If there's no feasible method, then your sister will have no choice but to be tortured."

The physician's expression changed, and he immediately knelt down and pleaded.

"Second Miss, my sister is not even eight years old yet, she doesn't understand anything. Please let her go."

Chu Wanrou smiled smugly: "Of course. If Chu Xunzhen is disfigured, I will have your sister released. But if you can't do that, your sister will be the one disfigured."

The physician nodded, leaned down and whispered in Chu Wanrou's ear.

After an incense stick had burned, he left the Peony Garden with a satisfied smile on Chu Wanrou's face.

Dark clouds obscured the moon.

The dampness mixed with the strong wind caused the flowers outside the peony garden to bend over.

Large raindrops fell onto Gao Mingshan's face.

The icy raindrops, carrying a chill, pierced my heart.

Standing in the pouring rain, he thought of the vow he made when he was learning medicine.

"Practicing medicine to save lives, a doctor's heart is full of benevolence."

Haha!

He gave a self-deprecating laugh, feeling speechless in the face of his master.

"Doctor Gao, the ground is cold."

A familiar voice rang out, and Gao Mingshan looked up in disbelief.

"Chu Xunzhen?"

How could it be her?

Chu Xunzhen, dressed in a pink silk dress, held a light blue oil-paper umbrella in her hand.

Water droplets trickled down the oil-paper umbrella.

A torrential downpour pattered down, accompanied by the sound of thunder. In the void, a silver fox shimmered as the rain poured down.

"The imperial physician is surprised?" Chu Xunzhen's voice rang out in the rain. "The imperial physician's medical skills are superb, how could he be aiding and abetting evil? Could it be that someone has caught him red-handed?"

Gao Mingshan was stunned, first in disbelief, then with a bitter laugh.

"I'm so sorry, young lady. I didn't explain the medicinal properties of the sachet clearly that day, which harmed you. The second young lady captured my sister, and I had no choice but to help her. I'm sorry. Young lady, you should be careful these days. The second young lady is going to attack your face."

After saying that, Gao Mingshan stood up and quickly left.

Chu Xunzhen watched his retreating figure, shook his head, and continued walking towards the small ancestral hall.

Behind her, Chunxi held an umbrella for her.

To get to the small ancestral hall, you will first pass through the Peony Garden.

Remembering what Doctor Gao had just said, she went inside.

Peony Garden.

Inside the side room.

Zi Yuan had just put the medicinal herbs into the wooden tub and added water when Chu Wanrou jumped in without hesitation.

"Miss, is the water temperature suitable?"

Zi Yuan asked cautiously.

To outsiders, Chu Wanrou was beautiful and charming, like a white-clad fairy or a bodhisattva. But to the maids who served her closely, she was short-tempered, vindictive, and prone to beating and scolding them, making her difficult to serve.

"good."

Just as Chu Wanrou finished speaking, Chu Xunzhen's voice, tinged with laughter, rang out.

"This is so relaxing. My brother got injured because of you, and instead of going to see him, you're taking a petal bath here."

The speaker was none other than Chu Xunzhen.

She walked in leisurely and saw the screen blocking the bathtub.

"Sister, why did you suddenly come?"

Chu Wanrou said angrily.

Zi Tao is seriously injured. Are the others all dead? There's no one guarding the gate for her.

Chu Xunzhen has been back for three years.

Aside from the very beginning, when I took the initiative to come to her yard to sit and try to get closer to her, only to be framed by her and beaten by my older brother, I haven't come back since.

"Hehe, you don't welcome me? Well, I'm here today to warn you that you must not leave the Peony Garden and that you must copy 'Women's Virtues' ten times," Chu Xunzhen laughed.

Ten times?

Chu Wanrou was filled with shock and anger.

"Sister, are you mistaken? Why do I have to copy 'Women's Virtues'?"

"Because you lack virtue." Chu Xunzhen chuckled. "Chu Wanrou, remember to hand in the copied 'Women's Virtues' at the ancestral hall."

After glancing at the figure behind the screen, Chu Xunzhen raised her right hand, and without anyone noticing, a black insect the size of a sesame seed burrowed into Chu Wanrou's clothes hanging on the screen.

Suddenly, Li Mama's voice rang out in the courtyard.

"Is the second young lady here? Madam wants to see you."

When Granny Li came in, she discovered that Chu Xunzhen was there.

"The eldest young lady is here too. This saves this old servant the trouble of going to the Chrysanthemum Garden. Madam, please come in." She said respectfully.

Unlike the arrogant Granny Zhou, Granny Li was meticulous, neither obsequious nor overly humble.

Chu Xunzhen chuckled: "I'm afraid Chu Wanrou won't be able to go."

"Why?" Granny Li asked, her face full of confusion.

Chu Xunzhen's expression held a hint of amusement: "Granny can go behind the screen and take a look herself, but please don't be frightened."
