Chapter 6, nothing to do.

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Oh, I came across it by chance in a book, it has been so long that I don't remember, but it suddenly came to mind that day

Flora naturally could not escape punishment. Old Madam Li chuckled beside her, which can be translated into colloquial language as, "Look, this is the consequence of losing one's virtue and meddling in others' affairs"

She knew that she could not faint, otherwise no one would know where she came from, and she would probably die a wrongful death in pain. Dying was not the issue, but she could not die in such a tragic and worthless manner. She had not yet had enough of the sights of ancient times, and she had not yet taken her revenge on that damned Granny Li. How could she just die like this

Flora clenched her teeth tightly, counting the strikes of the board, tears streaming down her face, increasing in volume and intensity. Watching the Southern woman already beaten to a bloody unconsciousness, her heart was filled with hatred towards the entire harem and the royal family, feeling helpless and desperate. How did she end up in the harem, subjected to such punishment? Flora could only continuously curse that damned Nurse Li in her heart, imagining her miserable state to slightly alleviate her own pain.

Princess, what are you trying to do?

Princess, please do not frighten this servant. Who is so bold as to dare harm you? What should Biye do? She does not dare to summon the imperial physician, but if she does not call for the physician, what will happen to your injury, Princess?

"Princess, you look truly beautiful in this." Bi Ye gazed at Fu Luo, her eyes wide with admiration

When Biye finally saw her own reflection clearly in the crystal mirror, she was taken aback, "Princess, how did you know how to make such a mirror?"

Oh, I came across it by chance in a book, it has been so long that I don't remember, but it suddenly came to mind that day

As Doctor Lu reached the door, Fu Luo's voice sounded again, saying, "Such a trivial matter, Doctor Lu need not inform others."

"Princess, the imperial physician has arrived." Biye lowered the brocade curtain for Fuluo, blocking the physician's line of sight

Seeing that Li Momo did not respond, Fu Luo thought she had been swayed by her words, and thus continued naively: "Moreover, a young woman losing her virtue does not necessarily mean she has had an illicit relationship with a man; it could also happen due to a childhood injury or even from riding a horse, which might lead to the loss of virtue in the morning."

That night, Flo finally woke up

Bi Ye took the drawing made by Fu Luo to the Shang Yi Bureau to have a piece made overnight, while the other pieces would be delivered at a later date. They were all in white, differing only in their patterns

Do not ask anymore, just go quickly, and you will know once it is done

The moment she saw the emerald leaves, Florot instantly felt relieved and fainted.

This medicine is made with carefully selected water, and fortunately, the Imperial Hospital of the Summer Dynasty has collected it. Truly, it lives up to its reputation as a royal hospital, thought Flore.

"Biye, please invite the imperial physician. I have my own methods." After Fu Luo regained consciousness, she was sweating profusely from the pain. It seemed that her body was not in good condition either; if she did not summon the physician, it was likely that her life would be in danger.

Princess, what are you trying to do?

Sister, are you alright? Where do you live? Let us take you back.

After bathing, Fuluo put on her nightgown and swayed as she walked in front of Biye (she had to sway, as her feet hurt the moment they touched the ground; those torturous eunuchs were truly skilled, and it was likely that her backside was already a bloody mess, yet the outside remained unscathed, preventing anyone from noticing the torture she had endured

"I am aware, I am aware," the esteemed Doctor Lu respectfully withdrew.

In fact, it is Biyue who is speaking here, not Fuluo. Fuluo has already arrived in Biyue's room, waiting for Doctor Lu's treatment

However, the most proud work of Fu Luo is still the Cold Fragrance Pills of Xue Baochai. Suddenly recalling the Cold Fragrance Pills of Xue Baochai from Dream of the Red Chamber, it is estimated that the ingredients are extremely hard to find in the heavily polluted modern world, but it can be tried here

Sister, are you alright? Where do you live? Let us take you back.

"Han Dan Xuan, Bi Ye." Fu Luo was too weak to form complete sentences, but fortunately, both girls were very clever; one quickly ran to Han Dan Xuan to inform Bi Ye

Outwardly, Floris claimed to have caught a cold, and the only people in the Lotus Pavilion who could see her were Biyue and Biwu, although the latter was completely unaware of everything.

At this moment, Fu Luo dared not reveal her identity and could only endure the pain. She suddenly understood that none of the women in the palace had a normal mindset, especially those old maids, each resembling Rong Mama in their demeanor. She also realized her own naivety; how could this palace tolerate acts of injustice, particularly against those palace maids who had no voice? If it were not for the fact that she was already a registered palace maid, Li Mama would not have known of any connection between her and the master of the palace. Otherwise, she feared she would have been beaten as well.

"Alright, you dare to retort, then hit me hard." The young eunuch immediately ran over to drag Fu Luo down.

In "Dream of the Red Chamber," the cold fragrance pill is made from 12 taels of the stamens of white peony flowers that bloom in spring, 12 taels of the stamens of white lotus flowers that bloom in summer, 12 taels of the stamens of white hibiscus flowers that bloom in autumn, and 12 taels of the stamens of white plum flowers that bloom in winter. These four types of flower stamens are dried on the day of the spring equinox of the following year and ground together; additionally, 12 qian of rainwater collected on the day of the rain, 12 qian of dew collected on the day of the white dew, 12 qian of frost collected on the day of the frost descent, and 12 qian of snow collected on the day of the minor snow are mixed together. The four types of water are blended, combined with the medicine, and then 12 qian of honey and 12 qian of white sugar are added to form pills the size of longan, which are stored in an old ceramic jar and buried at the base of a pear tree. When Xue Baochai fell ill, she took 1 pill and consumed it with a decoction of 12 fen of huangbai. Here, however, Fuluo thought it was merely the flower stamens used as medicine, so she usually mixed it with honey, treating it purely as a dessert, akin to ancient candies.

Madam Li immediately adjusted her posture, placing her hands on her hips, glaring with dead fish eyes, and strode over to Fuluo. She extended her finger and poked Fuluo's forehead, saying, "You little wretch, what are you called, and what do you want to do?"

"Princess, you look truly beautiful in this." Bi Ye gazed at Fu Luo, her eyes wide with admiration

Then you go to the Bureau of Crafts to select the largest piece of crystal, and have the craftsmen cut it into a large, perfectly square thin sheet. Finally, mount the crystal into a frame made of rosewood and bring it back.

"This humble minister understands, this humble minister understands." The esteemed Doctor Lu respectfully withdrew.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp." Li Mama laughed lightly, her sharp voice piercing through the ears of the crowd. "You, a mere palace maid, think you can say that I do not understand how to verify the purity of the young ladies? You should know, if you truly understood, it would be a loss of virtue. A young girl in her prime would know these things, hum. You think you can plead for her? Do you believe you are a master in the palace? Even the masters in the palace would not dare to speak to Mama like this. I almost forgot, with your ghastly appearance, you would probably be beaten to death if you stood before the Emperor, yet you still dare to dream of being a master. Come, someone, drag this wretched person away and give her twenty strokes."

Flora also wanted to clearly see her own appearance, but the reflection in the bronze mirror was all blurry. Moreover, there was no modern full-length mirror here. At this thought, Flora suddenly recalled a scene from a time-travel story she had read, where mirrors were made of crystal.

The people below saw that it was the chief maid Biyue from the Han Dan Pavilion, so they did not dare to offend her and quickly came to help. Biyue finally managed to carry Fu Luo back to the Han Dan Pavilion

He then instructed Biye to bring paper and pen, and sketched a modern long robe nightgown with a waist tie, which is easy to put on and take off, and is also very flowing and sexy, made from the finest cloud brocade available here, which would surely enhance its effect

Thank you, sister. If I go back like this, I will only have one way to die. It would be cleaner to die here." After saying this, she took out a jade ring, clenched it in her hand, and placed it in Fu Luo's hand. Fortunately, those people did not see what it was; otherwise, it would definitely have been confiscated by Lady Li. "Sister, if one day you go out and arrive at Nanping Prefecture, find someone named Luo Gang in Kuanzhai Alley, and give this to him. Just say that the jade ring is sorry for him and only wishes to continue in the next life." After saying this, she sobbed as she was pressed down on the torture stool by the eunuch.

"Miss, I can no longer assist you. Do you have anything else to say?" Fu Luo broke free from those young eunuchs and rushed to the front of that woman

"Biyue, are there large pieces of crystal in this palace?"

Flora clenched her teeth tightly, counting the strikes of the board, tears streaming down her face, increasing in volume and intensity. Watching the Southern woman who had already been beaten to the point of losing consciousness, bloodied and bruised, her heart was filled with hatred, helplessness, and despair towards the entire harem and the royal family. How did she end up in the harem, subjected to such punishment? Flora could only continuously curse that damned Nurse Li in her heart, imagining her miserable fate to slightly alleviate her own pain.

He then instructed Biye to bring paper and pen, and sketched a modern long robe nightgown with a waist tie, which is convenient to put on and take off, and is also very flowing and sexy, made from the finest silk brocade available here, surely the effect would be even better

Outwardly, Floris claimed to have caught a cold, and the only people in the Lotus Pavilion who could see her were Biye and Biwu, although the latter was completely unaware of everything.

Bi Ye took the drawing made by Fu Luo to the Shang Yi Bureau to have a piece made overnight, while the other pieces would be delivered at a later date. They were all in a line of white, differing only in their patterns

Flor, who could only lie on the bed, felt so bored that she was about to go crazy. The ancient nightgown was also excessively complicated, with ties to fasten here and there. Each time she put on or took off her pants, it caused her so much pain that tears would fall. She could no longer endure it.

After bathing, Fuluo put on her nightgown and swayed as she walked in front of Biye (It was impossible not to sway; her feet hurt as soon as they touched the ground. These torturous eunuchs were truly skilled; it was likely that her backside was already a bloody mess, yet the outside remained unscathed, preventing anyone from realizing that she had endured severe torture.

In fact, it is Biyue who is speaking here, not Fuluo. Fuluo has long since arrived in Biyue's room, waiting for Doctor Lu's treatment

Then you go to the Bureau of Industry and select the largest crystal, and have the craftsmen cut it into a large, perfectly square crystal slab. Attach tin foil to the polished crystal slab, and then pour in mercury. Mercury can dissolve the tin foil, transforming it into a viscous silvery liquid that adheres tightly to the crystal slab, and then what I want will be accomplished. Finally, set the crystal into a frame made of rosewood and bring it back.

During the days when Fu Luo was still resting in bed, she had the Bureau of Crafts create a spherical lampshade made of crystal for her. Inside it, she placed a fist-sized luminous pearl that she had brought from the Kingdom of Yuzhen. This spherical lamp was embedded in a beautifully carved small boat made of yellow pear wood, and she had Bi Ye use various fabrics to create the lampshade, resulting in a spectrum of colors. The brightness of the luminous pearl was sufficient to illuminate the entire room, rivaling even modern incandescent lamps, allowing her to read at night without the fear of flickering candlelight straining her eyes.

Doctor Lu, I have summoned you at this late hour to attend to a palace maid. I have punished her a bit too harshly, but I do not wish for any fatalities to occur in this Lotus Pavilion. Therefore, I ask for your diligent care in treating her. I shall reward you handsomely for your efforts.

In a state of semi-consciousness, Fu Luo finally completed the punishment of being hit. Granny Li turned around to continue her work, while the two young palace maids below, seeing Fu Luo in this condition, felt sympathy and hurried over.

That night, Flo finally awoke

Doctor Lu, I have summoned you at this late hour to attend to a palace maid. I have imposed a somewhat severe punishment on her, but I do not wish for any fatalities to occur in this Lotus Pavilion. Therefore, I ask for your diligent care in treating her. I shall reward you handsomely for your efforts

She knew that she could not faint, otherwise no one would know where she came from, and she would probably die a wrongful death in pain. Dying was not the issue, but she could not die in such a miserable and worthless manner. She had not yet had enough of the sights of ancient times, and that damned Granny Li had not yet been avenged. How could she just die like this

As Doctor Lu reached the door, Fu Luo's voice sounded again, saying, "Such a trivial matter, Doctor Lu need not inform others."

I obey your command

However, Fuluo has been suffering from a high fever, remaining unconscious and moaning in pain. In her desperation, Biye had no choice but to apply the ointment used by the palace maids after they were punished, and to place a cold cloth on Fuluo's forehead to reduce her temperature

During the days when Fu Luo was still resting in bed, she had the Bureau of Crafts create a spherical lampshade made of crystal for her. Inside it, she placed a fist-sized luminous pearl that she had brought from the Kingdom of Yuzhen. This spherical lamp was embedded in a beautifully carved small boat made of yellow pear wood, and she had Bi Ye use various fabrics to create the lampshade, resulting in a spectrum of colors.

I obey your command

Do not ask anymore, just go quickly, and you will know once it is done

It seems that there is a Department of Imperial Works, and I saw a crystal-carved vase in the palace of the noble consort, which is quite beautiful

"Princess, the imperial physician has arrived." Biye lowered the brocade curtain for Fuluo, blocking the physician's line of sight

Flor, who could only lie on the bed, felt so bored that she was about to go mad. The ancient nightgown was also excessively complicated, with ties to be fastened here and there, and every time she put on or took off her pants, it made her cry out in pain. She simply could not endure it any longer

You, those who commit multiple injustices will inevitably bring harm upon themselves

"Biye, please invite the imperial physician, I have my own methods." After Fu Luo regained consciousness, she was sweating profusely from the pain, realizing that her body was not in good condition. If she did not invite the imperial physician, it was likely that her life would be in danger.

"Bi Ye, are there large pieces of crystal in this palace?"

It seems that there is a Department of Construction in the palace, and I saw a crystal-carved vase in the residence of the noble consort, which is quite beautiful

The moment she saw the emerald leaves, Florent instantly felt relieved and fainted.

In addition to these, Flo also custom-made a modern three-seater sofa and a rocking bamboo lounge chair, among other items

Upon hearing this, Granny Li and the young eunuch in charge of the execution suddenly froze as if struck by a spell. Turning around, they were surprised to find it was just a young palace maid. Granny Li let out a sigh of relief, thinking she had encountered a noble from the palace. In reality, with her status as a prominent matron, the usual nobles in the palace were more likely to be bullied by her than the other way around.

Flora took a large step back from her poke, and it is likely that by tomorrow she would already have a flower ornament without needing to apply it. "Aunt Li, this girl has merely lost her virtue; you can just expel her from the palace. Why go so far as to take her life? Aunt, saving a life is worth more than building a seven-story pagoda."

"Hantan Pavilion, Biyue." Fu Luo was too weak to form complete sentences, but fortunately, the two maidservants were quite clever; one quickly ran to Hantan Pavilion to inform Biyue

When Biye finally saw her own reflection clearly in the crystal mirror, she was taken aback, "Princess, how did you know how to make such a mirror?"

However, Fu Luo has been suffering from a high fever, remaining unconscious and moaning in pain. In her desperation, Bi Ye had no choice but to apply the ointment used on the palace maids after they were punished, and to place a cold cloth on Fu Luo's forehead to reduce her temperature
