After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 156: Can I no longer support you?

Songzhi was so angry that she yelled at Jianqiu.

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell us earlier? Why did you make our queen wait so long under the scorching sun?"

Jianqiu pretended to be innocent, looked at Concubine Hua, and bowed, saying, "I'm really sorry, the Queen is unwell, so I was delayed for a while."

Songzhi pointed at Jianqiu and cursed, "You did it on purpose!"

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes at Songzhi, who held her breath, lowered her head and stopped talking.

"In that case, please rest more and take good care of yourself, Your Majesty." Concubine Hua said to Jianqiu.

Jianqiu nodded slightly, "On behalf of the Queen, I would like to thank Concubine Hua for her concern."

On the way back, Song Cheese said angrily: "My Queen, they must have done it on purpose!"

Hua Fei smiled and said, "Yes, it was intentional."

Songzhi couldn't understand why Concubine Hua laughed when she saw her being deceived and bullied.

"Madam, aren't you angry?"

Hua Fei held a round cattail-leaf fan and fanned it gently, intentionally or unintentionally, with a relaxed tone.

"Why should I be angry? I gave the Queen mung bean and kelp soup. If she doesn't want to drink it, that's her business. But whether I do it or not, whether I give it to her or not, that's my business."

Songzhi still didn't quite understand.

"But the Queen is making you angry! Do you really not mind at all?"

"I don't mind. It's OK as long as my goal is achieved." Concubine Hua looked at the mottled sunlight falling from the leaves on the ground, and couldn't help but use her hands to catch the sunlight.

Songzhi sighed and felt that her queen's temper was getting better and better.

I'm really worried that one day even those palace maids and eunuchs will bully her own queen.

During the day, everyone stayed in the house to catch their breath and eat iced watermelon to cool off.

After visiting the Empress Dowager and the Queen, Concubine Hua felt tired and slept until dark.

When Songzhi saw that Concubine Hua had woken up, she immediately prepared dinner.

Finally, he asked another question.

"My queen, do you need to prepare his portion for the emperor?"

Hua Fei yawned, "No need, didn't I tell you that the emperor won't be here in the near future."

Songzhi said "Oh" and went to prepare dinner gloomily. Why did she feel more and more that her queen was very happy that the emperor was not coming?

Shouldn't it be loss, disappointment, and anger?

After the food was placed on the table, Concubine Hua, who had had a good sleep, felt better.

She picked up a bowl of millet porridge and just took a sip when she heard Su Peisheng's loud and high voice.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Concubine Hua stood up in surprise and hurried to the door to greet him, only to find that the emperor had already walked up to her and soon took her hand.

"I haven't taken a good look at you these past few days. Now that I see you, I find that you seem to be a lot thinner than before."

"The weather is hot and my appetite is poor." Concubine Hua responded perfunctorily.

The emperor sat on the chair, let go of Concubine Hua's hand, picked up the chopsticks, and prepared to eat, but found that there were only two cold dishes on the table.

He picked up the chopsticks, but didn't know where to start.

After looking at it for a long time, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Hua Fei, "Is this what you usually eat?"

Concubine Hua nodded, "I don't eat much, so just ask the imperial kitchen to prepare these."

The emperor's face darkened. "I said we should practice strict economy, but I didn't ask you to be hard on yourself! Can I not support you?"

The more the emperor talked, the angrier he became. He directly asked Su Peisheng to order the imperial kitchen to add five more dishes.

Halfway through, Concubine Hua wanted to say that it would be a waste if so many dishes were not finished, but when she saw the emperor's gloomy face, she shut up.

The dinner was quite pleasant.

During the period, the emperor mentioned his visit to the empress dowager and the queen during the day.

"It's the hottest time of the year, and all the concubines in the harem are hiding in their rooms to avoid the scorching sun, but you are going out to deliver things under the scorching sun!"

"I just want to do my best to help the emperor share his worries..."

"The Empress Dowager is old and really needs someone to accompany her." The Emperor held Hua Fei's hand with emotion, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hua Fei chuckled and shook her head.

"What I have done is insignificant, and anyone can do it. However, what you have done, Your Majesty, will go down in history."

"No, I am a son first, then a husband, and finally a king. Filial piety comes first among all virtues. You have fulfilled it for me, and I am grateful to you."

When saying this, Concubine Hua didn't know if it was her illusion, she seemed to see tears in the emperor's eyes.

Just as the two were looking at each other silently, a hurried voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened to Concubine Wan!"

"Where?" The emperor stood up quickly.

The guard pointed in the direction of the lake, "That's where the boats are docked!"

The emperor said to Concubine Hua, "I'll go and take a look. You should go to bed early."

Hua Fei grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I am with you. If anything happened to Concubine Wan, I would also be worried."

Seeing that Concubine Hua was persistent, the emperor stopped trying to persuade her.

When the Emperor and Concubine Hua saw it, they discovered that the Queen was also there.

As soon as the queen saw the emperor, she immediately showed a very sad expression.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is having an affair with Doctor Wen. I was negligent. Please punish me!"

As soon as the emperor heard the word "adultery", his head suddenly exploded.

He said to the queen fiercely: "Get out of the way!"

The queen was frightened by the emperor's cold tone and quickly and silently stepped aside.

All the guards present tacitly made way for the emperor.

The torches in the guards' hands illuminated Zhen Huan and Doctor Wen, who was tied up with a piece of rag stuffed in his mouth.

Zhen Huan fainted on the ground, her face pale.

The emperor brought it down, looked at Wen Shichu, and signaled the guards to take the rag out of Doctor Wen's mouth.

As soon as the rag was removed, Wen Shichu immediately said, "Your Majesty, Lady Wan was bitten by a snake and must be treated as soon as possible!"

Wen Shichu's words immediately drew the emperor's attention to Zhen Huan. He lowered his eyes and saw that there were indeed traces of bleeding on Zhen Huan's right ankle.

"Someone, call the imperial physician!"

The emperor was still worried about Zhen Huan, so he immediately picked her up and walked towards his study.

The Queen asked from behind: "How should we deal with Doctor Wen? He is an adulterer!"

The emperor paused and said without turning his head, "Let's talk about it after Lady Wan wakes up."

Seeing that the Queen was deliberately delaying time, Concubine Hua spoke.

"Your Majesty, human life is at stake. If you delay for even a second, your life will be in danger! Since Doctor Wen said that Lady Wan was bitten by a snake, let Doctor Wen take a look first. You can also hear the truth of the matter. In this way, you can both save people and interrogate them."

"What Concubine Hua said is absolutely right. Let's do this! Bring Imperial Doctor Wen to me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After putting Zhen Huan on the bed, the emperor looked at Wen Shichu and said coldly: "Hurry up and see, if Concubine Wan can't be cured, I will ask you to accompany the funeral!"
