The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 147 The situation is tense
Nian Shilan was still dreaming when she was gently awakened by Lidong, who was on duty. Ruyi was kneeling in front of the bed with an anxious look on her face.

Nian Shilan was puzzled as to what was going on.

Ruyi was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

"Please help me, Master Hua! Our princess suddenly has a high fever. She was fine before she went to bed. I got up to drink some water and looked at the princess, only to find that her face was red. I felt the princess' neck and found that she had a high fever! I didn't want to disturb Master Hua, but I was afraid that something might happen to the princess because she was pregnant! That's why I dared to disturb you in the middle of the night! Master Hua, please forgive me!"

Ruyi kowtowed as she spoke, and Nian Shilan's eyes darkened. She had been on guard for so long, but something bad finally happened.

It was already two quarters past midnight, when everything was quiet and everyone was resting. Nian Shilan didn't care about anything else and asked Xiao Linzi to take his pair of cards and go out of the house to ask for Doctor Wen.

Within two quarters of an hour, Ulanara came to Cheng'en Garden dressed neatly, followed by Doctor Zhang.

Nian Shilan was in Feng's room, directing the maid to use a towel dipped in warm water to cool Feng down first.

Feng had a fever and was in a daze, mumbling in her sleep. However, she seemed to be very cautious even in her dreams, and her mumbling was so low that it was difficult to hear clearly.

Seeing Ulanara coming in, Nian Shilan took two quick steps forward and stood in front of Feng's bed.

"I have seen Madam Fu Jin. I am worried that I disturbed Madam Fu Jin in the middle of the night."

Ulanara looked at the maid busying around Feng's bed and said to Nian Shilan.

"Get up. I heard that something happened in Cheng'en Garden in the middle of the night, and I sent someone to go out and get the imperial physician. I was worried, so I came to see you."

Ulanara said this, pointing at Doctor Zhang behind her.

"This is Imperial Physician Zhang Mi, whom you have met before. The Third Prince is not feeling well tonight, so I just asked Imperial Physician Zhang to come and see him overnight, and then I heard that Sister Feng has a high fever. But sister, why don't you use this ready-made Imperial Physician, but go to the trouble of sending someone out of the house? Okay, let Imperial Physician Zhang check Sister Feng's pulse first."

Nian Shilan looked behind Ulanara and saw that Doctor Zhang was only in his thirties at this time, not as old as he was in his previous life.

Nian Shilan pondered for a moment, then gave up the seat in front of the bed and asked Doctor Zhang to take his pulse. He thought the patient should be fine.

As long as Xiao Linzi's legs and feet are agile enough and Wen Xianqing is invited in time, there is no need to use Doctor Zhang's medicine.

"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Zhang."

Nian Shilan watched with good eyesight as Doctor Zhang felt Mrs. Feng's pulse.

After taking the patient's pulse, Imperial Doctor Zhang bowed and said to Ulanara.

"My Lady, my Lady Hua. Judging from the pulse, the princess is just frightened and has a high fever. I could have prescribed a dose of medicine for her to drink and she would be fine. But the princess is seven months pregnant now, so if she can avoid taking medicine, then she won't. I will prepare the acupuncture supplies and give her a few injections. She will be fine once the high fever subsides."

Before Ulanara could say anything, Nian Shilan spoke decisively.

"No! Feng's health has always been taken care of by Imperial Doctor Wen. Imperial Doctor Zhang may not know Feng's physical condition. Let's wait and invite Imperial Doctor Wen to come."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he looked at Ulanara's expression and added another sentence.

"The people I sent should be back soon. Doctor Zhang also said that Feng's high fever was caused by shock, so we can wait a quarter of an hour."

Ulanara's face darkened and she said to Nian Shilan.

"Why did Concubine Hua stop the imperial physician from seeing the patient? As we all know, a person can easily get burned if the fever lasts for a long time. I have always seen you carefully take care of Sister Feng's fetus, so I thought you were a good person. I didn't expect that you would stop the imperial physician from giving Sister Feng acupuncture at this critical moment. What is Concubine Hua's intention?"

The servants in the room saw that Fu Jin's face changed and she attacked Fu Jin Hua, and they were so scared that they all knelt down.

Nian Shilan remained expressionless and replied respectfully.

"Reporting to Madam, I only said that I would wait for Doctor Wen to come before making any decision, but Madam is eager to accuse me of having bad intentions. Madam, are you worried about me?"

Ulanara stared at Nian Shilan.

"I used to trust you, but now that you're stopping the imperial physician from seeing me, I'm starting to get a little suspicious. Human life is at stake, so don't let Sister Feng and her child get hurt! Get out of the way."

Nian Shilan refused to give in and continued to speak calmly.

"Is Madam Fu Jin going to use her power as the mistress's mother to intimidate me? Before the master was sick, he said that I would help to manage the household affairs. So today, I will be the one in charge of Cheng'en Garden. I will say it again, Doctor Zhang is not familiar with Feng's pulse history. If he uses the needle improperly and damages Feng's pregnancy, this crime is not something Madam Fu Jin or I can bear!"

Ulanara said.

"How outrageous! Even if Concubine Hua is favored by the master, the mistress has the final say in the backyard. I didn't even know when Concubine Hua has bullied me?!" Qi Yuebin, who had rushed over after hearing the news, stood at the door, unable to go in or leave.

Just when the situation was tense, Xiao Linzi lifted the curtain and came in with Wen Xianqing.

Xiao Linzi panted and knelt down.

"Your Excellency, Doctor Wen is here!"

Wen Xianqing greeted Ulanara and Nian Shilan, then stood aside with his medicine box.

Nian Shilan relaxed his expression and bowed to Ulanara.

"I was just anxious, please forgive me. It's late at night, you can go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to tell you what I want to say, so that you can rest assured."

Ulanara looked at Nian Shilan, then turned around and sat down.

"Imperial Doctor Lao Wen is here to see Feng Gege. I'll be waiting here."

Wen Xianqing stepped forward to feel Feng's pulse and also said that the high fever was caused by fright.

He said as he gave Feng acupuncture.

"Princess has a weak constitution and often suffers from internal heat. Some commonly used cooling acupuncture points are not suitable for acupuncture. The acupuncture method I used is from the medical book passed down by my ancestors. It will be cured in less than a quarter of an hour."

Doctor Zhang was not convinced.

"Doctor Wen, are you saying that I am incompetent and cannot treat the princess? Well, Doctor Wen is now a popular figure in the Imperial Hospital, so what he says makes more sense than others."

Wen Xianqing put away the needle bag, looked at Doctor Zhang, bowed, and said with a smile.

"Doctor Zhang is wrong. We all make a living based on our own abilities. I am not familiar with your patients, and you may not be able to cure my patients just by taking their pulses."

Ulanara raised her hand to stop Doctor Zhang from speaking and stood up.

"Since Doctor Wen said that Princess Feng is fine, then you should take good care of her. If Princess Feng has a high fever again, I will report it to the master and ask for help from another doctor."

Wen Xianqing was respectful.

"Yes, Fu Jin, take care."

Only after Ulanara brought her people back to Xingfuyuan did Nian Shilan breathe a sigh of relief and sit on a chair.

Wen Xianqing asked curiously.

"Why didn't Concubine Hua let Zhang Mi see the patient just now? He is good at women and infants."

Nian Shilan had a dull expression and looked a little tired.

"Medical skills can save lives, but they can also kill people without anyone noticing. Doctor Wen knows this better than I do. This Feng is also a loser. She was frightened and had a high fever. Fortunately, we have Doctor Wen."

Wen Xianqing yawned and stretched.

"There are many ways to kill someone, it all depends on the doctor's intention. The princess is already seven months old, and you care about her more than the prince does. It's a great fortune for the princess."

Ruyi exclaimed with joy.

"Gege is awake!"

Nian Shilan walked lazily to Feng's bed. Feng struggled to get up and greet her, but Nian Shilan waved her hand.

"Take a good rest. It will be good when you wake up. I will go back to sleep. You have been keeping me awake all day."

After returning to Xingfu Courtyard, Ulanara couldn't sleep. Her face was gloomy. This Nian Shilan was guarding against her like a thief in front of so many servants. She was afraid that she would have to watch Feng give birth to the child.

Well, giving birth to a child is not a big deal; raising a child is a big deal.

　Next, I'm going to speed up the process, Baobao, and life in the mansion is about to come to an end.
