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

Chapter 160: Suffering for Yourself

Wen Shichu curled his lips and smiled, "I just happened to have prepared a few more prescriptions, Your Majesty, it was a coincidence."

After saying that, he stood up, picked up the medicine box and walked out.

Prince Guo called Wen Shichu and said, "Doctor Wen, are you going to see a doctor?"

Wen Shichu bowed to Prince Guo and said, "Yes, Concubine Hua is drunk and feeling unwell, so she asked me to go over and take a look."

Prince Guo looked at the medicine in his hand, then gave it to Doctor Wen, "I am strong and healthy, give this medicine to Concubine Hua as well."

Wen Shichu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have several more doses of medicine here. You can keep this for yourself."

Hearing what Wen Shichu said, Prince Guo was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "In that case, I will accept it. You can go see Concubine Hua."

"I'm leaving." Wen Shichu bowed and then stood up and walked quickly towards Concubine Hua.

Looking at Wen Shichu's receding back, Prince Guo suddenly felt a little envious of him.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Wen is here!" As soon as Songzhi saw Doctor Wen, she invited him into the house and then quietly woke up Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua was still slightly tipsy. With Songzhi's help, she managed to sit up and leaned against the head of the bed.

Wen Shichu first bowed to Concubine Hua, then took out a clean piece of thin silk, placed it on Concubine Hua's wrist, and carefully felt her pulse.

After taking the pulse, Wen Shichu bowed and said, "Your Majesty has been drinking too much and is feeling restless. I have prescribed a sobering medicine for you. Please take it first. When you feel better, you can take some tranquilizers. In just one day, the discomfort will be gone."

Concubine Hua said, "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Wen."

Wen Shichu cupped his hands and said, "This is what I should do."

After saying that, he took out the medicine from the medicine box.

Concubine Hua looked at Songzhi and said, "Wait outside the door. If anyone comes, let me know."

Songzhi nodded and walked out the door.

When there were only two people left in the room, Concubine Hua said softly, "The Emperor has already suspected you and Concubine Wan. For the sake of both of you, Concubine Wan chose to ignore you on purpose. From now on, remember not to give or meet privately again!"

The medicine bag in Wen Shichu's hand fell to the ground.

He looked at Hua Fei in shock, then fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, do you also think that this humble minister and Lady Wan have..."

"I don't believe it."

"Then why did the lady say so?"

"I don't believe it, but His Majesty might! Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Doctor Wen, do you still need me to teach you such a simple truth?"

Wen Shichu sat dejectedly on the ground, lowered his head, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Concubine Hua sighed.

"Don't think that what happened that night is over. It's impossible. This incident will only sow a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart."

Wen Shichu slowly raised his head, his eyes red, and bowed to Concubine Hua.

"Your Majesty, you have made great efforts. I understand."

After hearing what Wen Shichu said, Concubine Hua finally felt relieved.

"For the sake of Lady Wan, and even more for your own good, you can no longer create opportunities to meet her alone."

Wen Shichu nodded seriously, "I've remembered it all!"

After leaving Concubine Hua, Wen Shichu walked in a daze and met Prince Guo halfway.

"Doctor Wen, what a coincidence that we meet again." Prince Guo looked at Wen Shichu with a smile.

Wen Shichu numbly bowed to Prince Guo and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Wen Shichu looked unhappy, Prince Guo asked, "Doctor Wen, what's wrong with you? Why do you look worse than me, who's drunk?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu gently touched his face with his hand, only to find that tears had already appeared on his face without him noticing.

He lowered his head in embarrassment and wiped his tears secretly.

When he looked up again, his eyes had regained their previous clarity.

"I am fine. Perhaps I have read too many medical books recently and I am a little tired."

He looked at Prince Guo and continued, "I wonder if Prince Guo has any instructions?"

Prince Guo laughed and said embarrassedly: "Nothing, I saw you coming out of Concubine Hua's place, so I just wanted to ask how Concubine Hua was doing."

Wen Shichu thought for a moment, then replied with a cupped hand: "Empress Hua is fine, just take one or two alcohol-relief medicines."

After hearing this, Prince Guo finally felt relieved.

He smiled and said to Wen Shichu, "That's great."

After saying this, he strode away with a smile on his lips.

Wen Shichu kept thinking about Concubine Hua's words in his mind, feeling a little distraught.

Silent all night.

The next day, Concubine Hua was awakened by the chirping of cicadas outside.

When Songzhi saw that Concubine Hua had woken up, she hurried into the room to serve her.

"Your Majesty, the Queen had a headache last night, and the Emperor just sent a message asking you to come over and serve her."

Hua Fei frowned, "Why does the Queen have such a severe headache?"

Songzhi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because the Queen stood in the spotlight and listened to the music that night, and she got a headache."

Concubine Hua did not dare to delay, so she ate half a piece of mung bean cake and hurried out.

"Aiya, Madam, why are you so anxious about the Queen's illness? You can just take your time to eat breakfast and go over. The Emperor also said that you can serve him anytime today."

Songzhi felt that Concubine Hua's diligence in serving the Empress was even greater than when she served her own mother. She couldn't understand it.

But Hua Fei knew clearly in her heart that every little thing she did now was not a little thing, but was for the purpose of accomplishing a big thing in the end.

"Jianqiu, hurry up and close all the windows! My head hurts when the wind blows in!"

"Yes, my queen!" Jianqiu hurried over and closed the window tightly.

Jianqiu walked back and gently rubbed the queen's temple.

"Empress, please wait a moment, the doctor will be here soon. You are such a fool, you had a headache in the middle of the night, why didn't you call the doctor, and now you are in this state."

The queen closed her eyes slightly and spoke weakly.

"If I shout, it will alarm the emperor. The emperor is very busy, and I don't want him to worry."

Scissors sighed, "My lady, you are just bringing trouble upon yourself."

After a while, a little palace maid came hurriedly to report.

"Empress, Concubine Hua is here!"

The queen opened her eyes, and her face immediately darkened. "What is she doing here?"

The little palace maid replied: "Empress Hua said that she came to visit you on the orders of the Emperor!"

Jian Qiu said sarcastically, "I am here just because of the Emperor's order, but it is really too perfunctory! If you don't want to come, don't come. The Empress doesn't want to see her!"

The Queen had a severe headache and said impatiently, "Just say that I am not feeling well and let Concubine Hua go back."

The maid curtseyed, "Yes, my lady."

"The Queen is not feeling well. Please come back another day, Concubine Hua." After the little palace maid went out, she replied to Concubine Hua almost exactly as the Queen said.

Hua Fei asked: "Does the Queen know that I came here specially to serve the Queen on the orders of the Emperor?"

The maid replied: "The Queen knows."

Songzhi was angry, "If you knew, why did you let my queen go back?"

The palace maid was in a dilemma. She knew that Concubine Hua was now the favorite concubine, but the man in the room was her master.

"Then please wait here for a moment, Madam Hua, and I will go ask again!"
