The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 230 His heart can be punished
Wen Xianqing walked out of the delivery room and first sent the eunuch who had been serving him back to the Imperial Hospital to get some cooling and anti-itching ointment. Then he went to the main hall, where Yinzhen and Ulanara were still waiting.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Wen Xianqing saluted and knelt on the ground.

When Yinzhen saw that he had taken off his face cloth, he knew that it was not a contagious disease.

"Stand up and talk. How is it? What is Hua Fei's illness?"

Wen Xianqing stood up and said seriously.

"Your Majesty, I have taken the pulse of Concubine Hua.

Except for some postpartum symptoms, everything else is fine with the queen.

I carefully examined the red marks on the servants' bodies.

They are exactly the same as Concubine Hua.

It is impossible for the disease to spread to a whole room so quickly, so I speculate that
Someone must have poisoned me!"

In fact, Yinzhen already had some guesses in his mind when he saw Wen Xianqing taking off the veil, but when he heard Wen Xianqing say it with his own ears, he couldn't help but smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

"How dare you! I am right here, who dares to poison so blatantly! Su Peisheng! Investigate for me!"

Su Peisheng was also shocked. Who would dare to poison the emperor's concubine and son like this? He was so bold.

"Yes! I will check it out right away! Imperial guards, protect the emperor!"

The guards who had been following Yinzhen immediately dispersed around Yinzhen and became alert.

This person was able to poison Concubine Hua and the little prince, so he might not be unwilling to poison the emperor.

Ulanara was also shocked. Everyone present today were concubines from the harem. Who was so bold?

Su Peisheng went out in a hurry. He wanted to control all the servants first.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar little palace maid ran into the Yikun Palace in a panic, knelt down in the middle of the courtyard, and said.

"Your Majesty, I am a maid in the Yanqing Palace's concubine Duan, and my name is Zhen'er.

The reason I came here so boldly is that Concubine Duan seems to have also contracted the itchy disease.

I am in great pain now, please send a doctor to treat me!"

Yinzhen heard this in the hall and frowned.

Concubine Duan was fine, why was she poisoned?
No, so many concubines in the palace came to Yikun Palace today, but only Concubine Duan felt itchy.

Yinzhen said.

"Su Peisheng, let her in."

Zhen'er quickly stood up and rushed into the hall. She knelt by the door with her head lowered.

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Duan returned to Yanqing Palace, she has felt her hands itching, and the same is true for Jixiang in front of the Concubine.

But it was no use for the queen to soak her hands in hot water. Instead, the itchiness became worse and red spots appeared on her hands.

The Queen then ordered me to invite the imperial physician, but I know that almost all the imperial physicians are in Yikun Palace today.

I am worried about your health, so I am here to ask the Emperor to send a royal doctor to treat you!"

After Zhen'er finished speaking, she fell to the ground and couldn't stop shaking all over.

She really had no other choice, and she couldn't disturb the imperial physician who attended the two Empress Dowagers.

Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen and said to the guards.

"Capture this maid!"

Zhen'er was panicked. She didn't understand why she was arrested just for seeking medical treatment for her mother.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life! I have done something wrong, and I want to die knowingly!"

Yinzhen watched Zhen'er struggle and waved his hands. The guards threw Zhen'er, who had just been picked up, to the ground again.

"I just want to ask you, are Concubine Duan and her personal maid the only ones who have the itching disease in Yanqing Palace?"

Zhen'er replied firmly with red and swollen eyes. "Your Majesty, yes! Concubine Duan has been itching since she returned from Yikun Palace!"

What Zhen'er meant was that he must have been infected in Yikun Palace.

However, Yinzhen thought of the word "ominous" that Concubine Duan said in Yiku Palace, and the coincidence of the timing of her illness made him wonder whether the poison was related to her.

Ulanara understood Yinzhen's intention almost instantly, and she said carefully.

"Your Majesty, I think that even if it was Concubine Duan who poisoned her, she should have stayed away from people.

How could he reveal at this critical moment that he also has itching? Could it be that this is someone else's fault?"

Yinzhen calmed down and felt that what Ulanara said made sense.

He had just heard the little prince crying until he was exhausted, and Nian Shilan had just given birth and suffered this. Although he did not show it on his face, he could not help feeling anxious in his heart.

The eunuch that Wen Xianqing sent to get the ointment came back quickly, holding a square box in his hand.

"Doctor Wen, I have brought the medicine as you ordered! Please take a look!"

Wen Xianqing took the box and opened it.

There was a big-bellied porcelain jar in the box. Wen Xianqing took out a silver needle, opened the wooden stopper of the porcelain jar, and probed in with the silver needle.

He then took out the silver needle, only to be relieved to see that it had not changed color.

"Your Majesty, I will quickly take this medicine to the delivery room to help Concubine Hua relieve her itching.

But the little prince is too young, and I dare not take the risk. Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

Yinzhen smelled the porcelain jar that Wen Xianqing had uncorked, and it emitted a fresh and pleasant scent of grass, cool and refreshing.

"Can this ointment be used on babies?"

Wen Xianqing replied honestly.

"No. So I dare not try it on the young prince."

Yinzhen has not seen his son yet, but he has to make such a decision for him, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said in a firm tone.

"You can use it on the Fourth Prince as well. But it has to take effect on you first before it can be used on the Fourth Prince."

Yinzhen thought about trying it with a newborn baby.

But he was the Son of Heaven, and he understood the principle of not doing to others what you do not want others to do to you when he was enlightened.

He cannot do anything that will be condemned by the whole world.

Wen Xianqing received the order and hurried into the delivery room with the ointment.

Nian Shilan held the handkerchief tightly in her mouth. She didn't dare let anyone tickle her anymore. There were already traces of damage on her legs, which were currently covered under the quilt.

Nian Shilan endured the severe itch and just rubbed her hands together to relieve the itch slightly.

Wen Xianqing placed the porcelain jar beside Nian Shilan's bed, and ordered the servants Lidong and Songzhi to apply the ointment on their hands first, and then apply the ointment to Concubine Hua.

Lidong and Songzhi took the ointment as instructed and spread it evenly on their hands.

The ointment felt cool and refreshing to the touch, instantly relieving the itching.

The two were extremely surprised and quickly called other people over to take the ointment and apply it on their own hands before applying it on Concubine Hua's limbs.

Wen Xianqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and left the delivery room, allowing the people in the room to apply medicine to each other to relieve the itching.

However, he instructed his mother, Mrs. Wen Liu, to wait until the adults' itching had stopped before applying a small amount of ointment to the little prince.

When Wen Xianqing came out, he looked back at the little prince who was too weak to move.

The little prince's swaddled face appeared, even redder than before, and Wen Xianqing's heart trembled.

The poor baby, born into a royal family, had to suffer such a conspiracy as soon as he was born.

I don't know who did this. He chose to do this at such a vulnerable time when Concubine Hua was giving birth. He must be deadly.

By the way, I heard that Concubine Duan also had this disease suddenly, but she had never been to the delivery room, let alone come into contact with the hot water, so why did she feel itchy?
