The next day, Qin Zhenzhen was brought back to the palace.
The old eunuch immediately reported the process of bringing Qin Zhenzhen back to the emperor.
“Your Majesty, when I went to fetch Miss Qin, she seemed to have just woken up.”
“Miss Qin looks a little tired. She was dozing all the way in the carriage.”
“I also saw several… obvious marks on Miss Qin’s neck.”
The Emperor had already received the report from the two men in black. When he heard what the old eunuch said, he did not want to hear it.
He waved his hand to dismiss the old eunuch.
At this moment, another person came to report that the Empress Dowager had sent someone to cut off the tongue of that woman from the Jiang family. Then, that woman committed suicide.
The Emperor frowned. He did not expect his mother to be so well-informed.
His mother was still as ruthless as ever.
He waved his hand to dismiss the person reporting.
However, he heard someone shout from outside, “The Empress Dowager has arrived!”
The Emperor’s expression changed. Was his mother here to criticize him or mock him?
The Empress Dowager had brought Qin Zhenzhen with her.
The Emperor looked at Qin Zhenzhen’s neck and saw that there were indeed traces of a fierce kiss.
She had deliberately pulled up her collar, but it was still faintly visible.
This time, the emperor no longer had any doubts.
He was obsessed with women. Seeing this scene, he temporarily put away his previous thoughts.
The Empress Dowager saw the change in the Emperor’s expression and finally felt relieved.
She thought that the emperor was still rational.
However, the Emperor did not forget that Qin Zhenzhen was a girl with a special physique. There was a special fragrance on her body that could only be smelled at close range. It could make one feel refreshed.
The Empress Dowager appeared to grasp the Emperor’s thoughts and instructed Qin Zhenzhen to examine his pulse, facilitating their closeness. “Miss Qin, please check the Emperor’s pulse and confirm if it is normal.” “Of course,” Qin Zhenzhen replied.
She bent down and walked toward the Emperor, while a eunuch provided her with a stool for better access.
During the pulse examination, the Emperor instinctively leaned closer to Qin Zhenzhen, allowing him to be nearer to her.
As expected, he detected a fragrance that invigorated him, and his excitement grew. The old woman from the Jiang family hadn’t misled him; there was indeed something unique about Qin Zhenzhen.
If she truly possessed a special constitution, he contemplated making an exception and taking her as a concubine. This way, he could maximize her usefulness to him.
Upon completing the pulse reading, Qin Zhenzhen promptly withdrew.
“His Majesty’s pulse is stable, and he is in good health,” she reported, adding, “However, it seems the Emperor didn’t sleep well last night.”
The Emperor felt a twinge of irritation. He hadn’t slept well because he had stayed up late waiting for news. Unfortunately, it had been unfavorable news, keeping him awake throughout most of the night.
Qin Zhenzhen retrieved a small bottle from her possession.
“I have some special fragrance powder here, infused with Immortal Pill essence, making it particularly effective.”
“During the day, it can offer a refreshing sensation, while at night, it facilitates quick and restful sleep.”
She handed over the small porcelain bottle to the Emperor.
An eunuch near the Emperor opened the bottle cap and presented it to him for a whiff. The Emperor recognized that the fragrance matched that of Qin Zhenzhen.
Qin Zhenzhen produced another small bottle and presented it to the Empress Dowager.
“Empress Dowager, I only have two and a half bottles of this incense left. I’m rather attached to it, and I didn’t bring it with me when I left the palace.”
“I happened to bring it with me yesterday when I left the palace.”
“If you find it pleasing, I’d be honored to give you this last bottle.”
The Empress Dowager’s attendant also uncorked the bottle for the Empress
Dowager to sample.
“This is truly exceptional. I accept it with gratitude..”
