Chapter 110: I will not add any more musk

"This medicine is also called Turtle Breathing Pills. After a person swallows it, their breathing and heartbeat will stop, just like they are dead. After twelve hours, take the antidote and they will wake up on their own."

"But I have only seen this medicine in ancient books."

"Your Majesty, if you want to prepare this medicine, you have to give me some time to study it."

Wen Shichu had been in contact with Concubine Hua for more than half a year and found that she was not as arrogant and unreasonable as the outside world said.

On the contrary, Concubine Hua is very reasonable. After Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu were ostracized and framed, it was Concubine Hua who stood up to help.

Based on these, Wen Shichu felt that Concubine Hua was not a bad person.

"Then I'll have to trouble Imperial Doctor Wen." Concubine Hua looked at Songzhi.

Songzhi brought a wooden plate containing one hundred taels of gold and gave it to Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu looked at the golden gold and kowtowed on the ground with his hands.

"It is my duty to treat the Majesty."

Hua Fei said: "I know that this is your duty. However, this medicine is something I asked you to do. It is a private matter. It is only natural that you should accept this money, Doctor Wen."

Wen Shichu wanted to refuse, but then he heard Concubine Hua say, "You need to look up books and find medicinal herbs, which will cost money and time. The money I give you is not given for nothing, just consider it as extra compensation from me."

After hearing what Concubine Hua said, Wen Shichu could no longer refuse and had to accept the silver.

As soon as Wen Shichu left, Songzhi looked at Concubine Hua worriedly.

"My lady, what do you want this Turtle Breathing Pill for?"

Ever since the news came from the previous dynasty that Nian Gengyao had defeated Lobsang Danjin, the emperor has been visiting Concubine Hua from time to time.

Logically speaking, Concubine Hua should be happy.

But Songzhi felt that Concubine Hua was unhappy, and became even more depressed.

"When the time is right, I will tell you."

Concubine Hua looked at the falling snow outside and rubbed her sore head.

"I am tired, please go down. If Su Peisheng comes, please tell him that I have caught a cold and cannot serve the emperor."

Songzhi saw that although Concubine Hua looked tired, she was not feeling unwell.

"Your Highness, the Emperor only comes to the harem a few times a month. He finally comes to you more often. Don't you want to see him?"

"I don't want to." Hua Fei said lightly.

After her rebirth, Concubine Hua had already given up on the Emperor.

Everything nowadays is just a show.

After reviewing the memorial, the emperor couldn't help but worry when he heard what Su Peisheng said.

"I'll go take a look."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua said she was worried that she might pass on her illness to you, so you'd better not go."

"Nian Gengyao won such a great victory for me on the front line, but I didn't go to see Concubine Hua when she was sick. That would have chilled Nian Gengyao's heart."

The emperor still went to the Yikun Palace.

As soon as he entered the bedroom in Yikun Palace, the emperor heard Concubine Hua coughing softly.

"Songzhi, quickly light up the emperor's Huanyi incense. When I smell its fragrance, I will feel that the emperor is always by my side."

"Your Majesty, there are only seven days' supply of Huan Yi Xiang left. I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it another day."

"The Imperial Household Department doesn't have it. This is a gift from the Emperor to me alone. I'll ask the Emperor for it after I recover from my illness. Ahem!"

"Your Majesty, you are so sick, and you are still thinking about the Emperor."

Just as Su Peisheng was about to report loudly, the emperor raised his hand to stop him.

Listening to Concubine Hua thinking so much about the Huan Yi Xiang she gave her, the Emperor stood outside, looked up at the scattered snowflakes floating in the sky, and let out a long breath.

There was a cold wind blowing in the air from time to time, and his eyes were a little moist, not knowing whether they were not blown by the wind.

"I'm going to go see Concubine Hua, you just wait here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Peisheng looked at the emperor's back as he walked away, and suddenly felt a little sad.

Songzhi lit the Huanyi incense.

Concubine Hua smelled the fragrance of Huanyixiang and slowly closed her eyes.

The emperor walked in quietly.

When Songzhi turned around, she saw the emperor. Just as she was about to kneel down to salute, the emperor stopped her and asked her to leave.

Songzhi knelt silently and walked out of the bedroom.

The emperor walked to the window and saw Concubine Hua with her eyes slightly closed and breathing evenly. Her beautiful and delicate face was charming even without makeup.

From a sixteen-year-old girl to a twenty-seven-year-old woman, from being bright and beautiful to being more beautiful than the Manchu and Han military flags, the emperor had to admit that Concubine Hua's beauty was always a dazzling presence in the harem.

Unlike Zhen Huan's orchid in the valley, Concubine Hua's beauty is bold and eye-catching, like a stunning peony that overwhelms the whole country, astonishing upon seeing her.

More than ten years have not left many traces on this woman, but have made her even more charming.

The emperor was filled with emotion, and his fingertips couldn't help but touch Concubine Hua's face.

Concubine Hua's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes and saw the emperor.

She hurriedly stood up to pay her respects, but was held down by the emperor.

"If you don't feel well, just lie down. No need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Hua lay obediently on the bed and smiled sweetly at the emperor.

When the emperor saw Concubine Hua smile, his heart warmed and he smiled too.

"The Queen Mother told me that it was snowing heavily, and you braved the wind and snow to serve her. It was really a pity for you to be so filial."

"This is my duty."

The emperor grabbed Hua Fei's hand and sighed, "I am not stupid. I have seen and remembered everything you have done for me."

Concubine Hua's eyes were red.

"If the emperor could know a little about Shilan's painstaking efforts, I would have no regrets even if I died."

When the Emperor saw that Concubine Hua's beautiful eyes were stained with tears, he gently wiped them with his hands.

"What nonsense! You are still young, and you still have a long time to accompany me."

Hua Fei burst into laughter.

"Of course I hope to accompany the emperor forever, but I am afraid that the emperor will get tired of me and no longer see me."

The emperor listened to Concubine Hua's little woman's thoughts, sat down beside the bed, and held her in his arms.

"I will never bore you."

Concubine Hua was like a little kitten, rubbing the emperor's chest, making him feel itchy.

"Your Majesty, the Huan Yi incense is almost gone. When will you bring me some more?"

The Emperor patted Concubine Hua's back and paused slightly.

"Once this batch of Huan Yi incense is used up, there will be no more."

Hua Fei raised her innocent eyes and said with some disappointment: "Your Majesty, why is it useless? I like this taste."

The emperor felt even more sad when he saw the disappointed look on Concubine Hua's face.

"This raw material has to be imported from the distant country of Persia. In recent years, due to the unrest outside, it has been out of stock."

"Is there really no way to get it?"

Hua Fei asked again unwillingly.

The emperor saw her aggrieved and disappointed expression and couldn't help but grin.

"I really can't get it. But I will make a new spice for you."

But I will not add any musk to the spices anymore.
