Chapter 277 Get a big backer
When Jiang Yimo finished all the inspections, she calmly took out an exquisite small porcelain bottle from the small bag she was carrying.
This bottle of ointment is the special anti-inflammatory ointment she carefully developed. It is made from rare medicinal materials in her space and can greatly accelerate wound healing.
Originally, Jiang Yimo was reluctant to give it to the Queen Mother, but she was very satisfied with the Queen Mother's performance and actions towards Xitang today.
Therefore, Jiang Yimo was willing to take out such a good ointment for the Queen Mother.
At the same time, she found that the Queen Mother was actually a pretty good person, just a little cold and arrogant. But after all, the Queen Mother was there, so Jiang Yimo didn't find it strange that she was a little cold and arrogant.
But if she could handle her relationship with the Queen Mother well, maybe she would have less trouble when entering the palace in the future, and she might even have a strong backer.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo's eyes darkened. She carefully opened the bottle cap and a faint fragrance wafted out.
She gently squeezed out some ointment and then carefully applied it to the empress dowager's hideous scar with a cotton swab.
Every gentle touch is filled with endless care and tenderness, as if to heal all the pain.
As Jiang Yimo moved, the ointment gradually blended into the empress dowager's skin, and the originally shocking scars seemed to disappear bit by bit.
Before long, Jiang Yimo quickly and skillfully completed the task of applying ointment to the Queen Mother.
Then, she carefully and gently arranged the Queen Mother's clothes, making sure every detail was handled just right.
Throughout the whole process, Jiang Yimo demonstrated meticulous care and attentive and thoughtful service attitude.
The Queen Mother watched and followed Jiang Yimo's every move, with a satisfied smile on her face.
After Jiang Yimo had packed up everything, the Queen Mother asked her in a friendly tone: "Jiang girl, how do you think my body is recovering now?"
Facing the Queen Mother's question, Jiang Yimo thought for a moment and then replied, "Your Majesty, your physical condition has indeed improved, but even so, you still cannot take your daily diet lightly. After all, the disease is like pulling out a thread, and you still need more care to fully recover."
Surprisingly, the Queen Mother nodded obediently and said, "Okay, you are the doctor, I will listen to you."
After saying this, the Queen Mother cleverly changed the subject and turned her attention to Jiang Yimo's past life experiences in Haicheng.
She asked with a hint of curiosity: "Jiang Yimo, I heard that you used to live in Haicheng. Why don't you tell me about your past life?"
The Queen Mother asked curiously, and seemed to be very interested in Jiang Yimo's past, because she had not asked others about Jiang Yimo's life experience. She only heard from the palace servants who served her that Jiang Yimo grew up in Haicheng.
As Jiang Yimo's eyes moved, she noticed that the Queen Mother was staring at her with anticipation, so she had an idea and carefully selected several interesting things that happened in Haicheng and told them to the Queen Mother in a vivid way.
The Queen Mother listened with great interest and laughed heartily from time to time, as if she was extremely amused by these anecdotes.
Gradually, the Queen Mother became more and more cheerful, and enthusiastically asked Jiang Yimo to tell her some more jokes.
Jiang Yimo naturally did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly racked her brains to bring out all the jokes she had hidden in her box.
As expected, these humorous words were like a spring breeze that blew away the haze in everyone's hearts, making the originally heavy and depressing atmosphere instantly become relaxed and cheerful.
Even the palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but smile, temporarily forgetting the horrifying scene they saw in the cold palace that morning.
However, just as Jiang Yimo was talking excitedly and everyone was happy, there was a slight noise suddenly - it turned out that Concubine Rou came to visit the Queen Mother.
When the empress dowager learned that the visitor was Concubine Rou, she immediately asked someone to invite her in.
In a moment, I saw Concubine Rou wearing a gorgeous, colorful palace dress with fluttering sleeves; her makeup was extremely exquisite, and her hair was adorned with pearls and jade. She was truly graceful and elegant, with a variety of manners.
This was the first time Jiang Yimo saw Concubine Rou after she removed the stinky poison powder from her body. Her behavior and clothing seemed to be even more high-profile than before she was infected with the stinky poison powder.
She was not afraid of incurring the Queen's hatred with her flamboyant attire.
However, her complexion has not yet fully returned to its previous state, but it is not obvious unless you look closely because of the rouge and powder.
She walked up to the Queen Mother in small steps and bowed to her respectfully.
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, motioned for Concubine Rou to sit beside her, and then asked with concern: "Concubine Rou, I heard that you fell ill a few days ago and could not meet others. Is your health getting better now?"
Concubine Rou replied with tears of gratitude: "Thanks to the Queen Mother's concern and Miss Jiang's superb medical skills, my illness was cured in a short time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Rou stared at Jiang Yimo intentionally or unintentionally, and there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in her eyes.
Jiang Yimo couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking secretly in her heart, wondering why Concubine Rou was looking at her like that.
However, the Queen Mother did not notice Concubine Rou's subtle move, but praised her highly: "Momo's medical skills are truly outstanding. She can even cure my long-standing illness. In the past, when I heard the word 'caesarean section', I always thought that the person would die, but this little girl opened my eyes and overturned my inherent concept."
"Yes, I am also shocked by Miss Jiang's medical skills."
Concubine Rou nodded slightly, expressing her recognition and approval of these words.
As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Yimo meaningfully.
Then, Concubine Rou turned the topic to the Queen Mother and asked about her health with concern: "Is the Queen Mother feeling better these days? Is there anything wrong? If you need any rare medicinal herbs or supplements, I can send someone to deliver them."
The Queen Mother smiled and responded, "Thank you, Concubine Rou, for your concern. I am doing fine."
However, Concubine Rou did not stop there and continued, "Speaking of this morning, how could Concubine Xiao do such a heartless thing and make the emperor so angry! Oh, it's really worrying..."
The Queen Mother wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Jiang Yimo, but Concubine Rou talked incessantly and did not give the two of them any chance to communicate.
A trace of barely perceptible annoyance gradually emerged on the Queen Mother's face, but when she caught a glimpse of Concubine Rou's still weak appearance, she couldn't help but feel a bit of pity in her heart.
After all, Concubine Rou had just recovered from a serious illness and needed more time to recuperate. Therefore, the Queen Mother decided to be patient for the time being and let Concubine Rou speak freely.
At this time, Jiang Yimo stood quietly aside, watching the scene in front of her. She felt like an unnecessary bystander, stuck between Concubine Rou and the Queen Mother, not knowing what to do. This atmosphere made her feel extremely uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.
Finally, Jiang Yimo couldn't stand it anymore. She gently pulled Xitang beside her, then bowed to the Queen Mother and said goodbye: "Your Highness, Concubine Rou, I will take my leave first."
Although the Queen Mother was reluctant, since Concubine Rou kept pestering her, she agreed. Then, Jiang Yimo took Xitang and quickly left Yongshou Palace.
