The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

When Concubine Shen saw that Concubine Zhen was still thinking about her, the sadness in her heart disappeared.

She sighed and said.

"You don't have to worry about me. With Concubine Hua taking care of me, I have enough medicinal materials.

But you have seen the current situation in the garden, so it is better not to wander around.

I followed Concubine Hua to visit Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing was protecting the princess very well.

I just hope I can get through this safely.

By the way, have you heard about Noble Lady Fucha's matter?"

Zhen Changzai pulled Concubine Shen into the house and replied.

"I heard that Noble Lady Fucha had contracted an epidemic. Lingrong and I were watching the servants fumigate the house with medicine when my sister happened to come.

I was planning to send someone to see if my sister was okay. Now that you're here, I feel relieved."

Lady Shen had just entered the room where Concubine Zhen lived and hadn't even sat down in her chair when Zhou Ninghai came in to report.

"My lady, there are servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside to ask for Concubine Shen, saying that Concubine Hua has assigned Concubine Shen to distribute some medicinal herbs."

Zhen Changzai looked at Concubine Shen, who looked helpless and anxious, sighed, and took Concubine Shen's hand.

"Sister has just arrived and is already busy again. This is too much work. Sister follows Concubine Hua every day.

How can one gain the grace of God if one does not even have a little room of one's own?
It's been a year since my sister was favored by the emperor, why isn't she pregnant yet?"

Concubine Shen smiled bitterly and said.

"You have also seen that I follow Empress Hua every day and am favored by her.

How dare I be lazy and idle? The emperor also said that I was getting better and better at handling things.

You say, if I get pregnant at this time, wouldn’t I be giving away something I have worked so hard to get to someone else?
Besides, a dragon fetus is not something I can have just because I want it. The right time, right place, and right people are also essential.

Look at the situation in the palace now, how many people are dissatisfied with me.

I don't expect to achieve great success, I just hope that one day you and I can live comfortably in the palace."

After Shen Guiren finished speaking, she suddenly realized that An Da Ying was also there, so she changed the subject without leaving a trace.

"Of course, this is just my previous thought. Now, you are also on good terms with Sister An.
That means I am also on good terms with Sister An. I am naturally thinking about protecting both of you.

I hope my two sisters can understand my painstaking efforts. "

Zhou Ninghai came in again from outside.

"Lady Shen, please hurry up, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in a hurry."

Zhen Changzai urged Shen Guiren to leave reluctantly. She stood at the door until she could no longer see Shen Guiren, then she lowered her head with a sense of loss.

Sister Mei has been too busy since she followed Concubine Hua to help manage the six palaces.

The sisters' agreement to rely on each other before entering the palace seemed to be becoming increasingly difficult.

Zhen Changzai leaned against the door for a long time without saying anything. An Da Ying sighed silently. After all, she met Zhen Changzai late, and the relationship between her and Concubine Shen could never compare.

An agreed and forced himself to cheer up. He walked forward with a smile, took a handkerchief and pretended to wipe Zhen Changzai's tears.

"Sister, you are too sentimental. Sister Mei is with us in the palace, so we can see her if we want.

Besides, Sister Mei has a good support and is by the side of Concubine Hua. How many people would envy that?

If my sister is sad about this, she would be too exhausted.

When my sister is favored and can become a concubine, won’t I be able to talk to my sister Mei every day? "

Zhen Changzai forced a smile.

"Be favored? A concubine? Sister, don't dare say this in front of others.

The relationships in the palace are complicated, how can I be qualified to handle it?" An Da Ying looked into Zhen Changzai's eyes and said sincerely.

"Sister is like a coiled dragon and a crouching tiger. If she gets help, she will soar into the sky."

Zhen Changzai was amused by An's promise, but she did not deny that she would definitely be favored.

She thought that when her favor could be comparable to that of Concubine Hua, she would no longer have to be separated from Sister Mei like this.

Thinking of Hua Fei
Zhen Changzai didn't like her arrogant and conceited look, but the emperor doted on her, and it was said that her brother from her mother's side, Nian Gengyao, loved her even more.

Zhen Changzai and An agreed to go together and went into the house.

Zhen Changzai's maid Huanbi saw that Zhen Changzai seemed to be in a bad mood and wanted to go forward to comfort her.

But seeing An Daiying beside her, Huanbi gave up and just looked outside absent-mindedly.

Noble Lady Fucha was still in a coma. Wen Xianqing prepared some medicine and took out a silver needle.

But Wen Xianqing held the silver needle for a long time but didn't insert the needle.

Changxiu watched for a long time and spoke in a crying voice.

"Doctor Wen, why don't you give me the acupuncture?"

Wen Xianqing put away the silver needle, his voice full of helplessness.

"First, boil the medicine and let the young lady take it. I wanted to try the acupuncture method in the ancient prescription on the young lady, but I was afraid that something might go wrong, so I gave up."

Yingxiu's muffled voice came from under the veil.

"Doctor Wen, please forgive me for being so talkative. Anyway, our young master is already in such a state, and the dragon fetus cannot be saved.

Why don't you give me a try? What if acupuncture works better with your medicine?"

Changxiu seemed to have reacted as well and hurriedly grabbed Wen Xianqing's arm.

"Yes, Doctor Wen! My young lady has been in a coma for a day and a night. Why don't you try acupuncture?

Isn’t there a saying that goes, “Treat a dead horse as best as a living one?”

This servant is dumb and can't speak, so this is the only thing I can think of!"

Wen Xianqing hesitated for a long time and said through gritted teeth.

"Since I entered the Imperial Hospital, I have become more and more timid. Well, now I will give it a try!"

When Wen Xianqing finished the acupuncture, Changxiu came over crying and holding the medicine bowl to feed Fucha Guiren.

Yingxiu really couldn't stand Changxiu crying whenever something happened, so she snatched the medicine bowl away and said.

"I'll do it. Don't drop your tears into the young master's medicine bowl, or it will lose its medicinal properties."

This time, when Wen Xianqing fed the medicine prescribed by him to Noble Lady Fucha, she only spit out a tiny bit. Wen Xianqing said that this should be related to the acupuncture he had given her earlier.

In the Qingliang Palace, Nian Shilan came back from outside and asked the servants to prepare hot water. She took a bath, changed clothes, and fumigated herself with medicine before going to the Fourth Prince's room to visit him.

The Fourth Prince, who would be one year old in a month, opened his eyes brightly in his wet nurse's arms and opened his arms to Nian Shilan, asking her to hold him.

Nian Shilan did not wear armor after taking a shower and changing clothes, but she still habitually looked at her hands first.

She took off the jade ring on her wrist and handed it to Xiaoman who was following behind her. Then she took the Fourth Prince who was about to rush over from the wet nurse's hands.

The wet nurse laughed.

"Fourth Prince pays respects to Concubine Hua, may the Concubine be blessed~"

Nian Shilan hugged the Fourth Prince, feeling contented.

"You two have worked hard. There is an epidemic going on outside right now and no one knows who will be infected.

You just stay in Qingliang Palace and don't go anywhere. When the epidemic is over, you can take the Fourth Prince out for a walk. "(End of this chapter)
