"Your father is just too worried and has lost his appetite, which has led to his physical weakness. I can prescribe some medicine to calm his mind and stimulate his appetite."

After the imperial physician finished examining Nian Xialing's pulse, he walked out of the room and told Nian Xiyao about his condition.

"Thank you." Nian Xiyao bowed respectfully to the imperial physician.

The imperial physician also returned the greeting.

"Master Nian, you don't have to be polite to me. On weekdays, Empress Hua has always taken good care of me, and I am returning the favor."

When he heard the word "Hua Fei", Nian Xiyao's heart began to tighten.

"My Lord, is my sister... no, Concubine Hua okay?"

When the imperial physician heard Nian Xiyao's question, he fell silent instantly.

Nian Xiyao frowned and asked again: "What happened to the queen?"

The imperial physician sighed, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

This made Nian Xiyao even more anxious, "Tell me, what happened to my little sister?"

The imperial physician saw that Nian Xiyao was anxious, and he also became anxious.

He brought Nian Xiyao to a secluded corner and said in a low voice,

"Master Nian, do you really want to know about Concubine Hua?"

Nian Xiyao was furious, "Nonsense, she is my sister, why shouldn't I want to know?"

The imperial physician nodded heavily.

"In that case, I will tell you, sir. But I hope you take care of yourself!"

Nian Xiyao couldn't wait any longer.

"Without further ado!"

Seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, the imperial physician lowered his voice and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Nian Xiyao was very shocked.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

The imperial physician covered Nian Xiyao's mouth in panic.

"Sir, please don't harm me! I also heard about this matter. It's still unknown whether it's true or not. But, it's probably true. Be prepared!"

After saying this, the imperial physician hurried away, carrying his medicine box.

Nian Xiyao walked back to his father's room in a daze.

Nian Xialing had just finished applying the medicine and fell asleep.

Looking at his father with gray hair and wrinkled face, Nian Xiyao cried softly.

"Father, I am an incompetent eldest brother. I can't protect my second brother, nor can I take good care of my younger sister... If anything happens to my younger sister again, what should I do?"

"Shilan, what happened to her?"

An old voice suddenly sounded in the house.

Nian Xiyao's breath hitched, he opened his eyes and saw his old father staring at him with red eyes.

Nian Xiyao stood up in shock, stammering.

"Father, Shilan, it's okay. Everything is fine."

"I am old, but I am not deaf! Tell me, what happened to Se-ran?"

Under Nian Xialing's aggressive gaze, Nian Xiyao relayed the imperial physician's words to him.

"The imperial physician said that Shilan is seriously ill and may not live long!"

"Say it again!" Nian Xialing grabbed Nian Xiyao's arm tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Ah!" Nian Xiyao choked and could no longer speak.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Nian Xialing's mouth.

Nian Xiyao widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Father!"

----

"I have already told Nian Xiyao the news that Concubine Hua is seriously ill."

The imperial physician kowtowed to the ground and reported.

"Well done, reward." The queen looked at Jianqiu.

Jianqiu handed a purse full of silver to the imperial physician.

The imperial physician took it, thanked the queen, bowed and left.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua will definitely be grateful to you. After all, at this critical moment, almost no imperial physician dares to contact the Nian family."

Jianqiu said happily as she relaxed the queen's shoulders.

"This palace and Concubine Hua have been friends for many years. If she is sick, it is natural to let her family know."

Jianqiu praised: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted."

The queen curled her lips slightly.

"I am the mother of a country, so I naturally have to share the worries of the emperor."

Jian Qiu nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is really hard-working. You have to take care of the harem and take care of the feelings of the young masters in the palace. It's really not easy."

She paused, her fierce eyes turned, and continued,

"This Concubine Hua's father vomited blood because he was worried about her. Madam, do you think we should tell Concubine Hua?"

The queen snorted.

"Of course I have to tell her! Otherwise, Concubine Hua will be worried."

"Okay, I'll go and tell you right away."

----

After Zhen Huan knew that Concubine Hua was ill, she and Shen Meiyu made an appointment to visit her.

Concubine Hua was lying on the bed, looking haggard and weak.

"Is it possible that you are not afraid that I will pass on my illness to you? You still come to see me."

"Your Majesty, you are being estranged from us by saying this. Normally, we have a better life thanks to your care. If we don't come to see you when you are sick, we are worse than pigs and dogs!"

Shen Meizhuang usually doesn't like to interact with the concubines in the palace, but that doesn't mean she is not good at speaking.

On the contrary, when she opened her mouth, her words were sharp and touched people's hearts, and everyone in the harem was more or less choked by her.

However, when it comes to praising someone, it is better to wait a while.

Seeing that she spoke so frankly and directly, Concubine Hua smiled with relief.

"I appreciate your kindness."

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "Since the queen has understood the intentions of Huan'er and me, let's eat something quickly."

Zhen Huan hurriedly brought the cooked venison porridge to Concubine Hua.

Seeing the two people in front of her sincerely caring about her, Concubine Hua couldn't refuse. She sat up with the help of Songzhi and drank half a bowl of porridge.

Seeing that Concubine Hua finally ate, Zhen Huan's guilt was alleviated a little.

After all, Nian Gengyao's downfall was actually caused by her.

The emperor used Zhen Yuandao to collect evidence of Nian Gengyao's crimes. In a sense, Nian Gengyao's death was closely related to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan mustered up her courage and asked cautiously, "My Lady, do you blame me?"

Concubine Hua raised her eyes and saw the evasion in Zhen Huan's eyes.

"Lady Wan, I have never blamed you." Concubine Hua said word by word.

Zhen Huan couldn't believe it, "Madam, you really don't blame me?"

Concubine Hua sighed softly.

"This matter is not something you can control alone. This world is always a man's world. How humble are we women? If I blame you, wouldn't that be unreasonable?"

Hua Fei's words made Zhen Huan respect her deeply.

However, when she saw Concubine Hua looking so haggard, Zhen Huan still found it hard to let go of the guilt in her heart.

"My lady, if you have any difficulties, please tell me. I will do my best within my ability."

Concubine Hua took Zhen Huan's hand and said gently, "Give birth to a prince for the emperor as soon as possible. In this harem, only children are the best way for you to settle down and make a living."

Zhen Huan nodded, "I will definitely remember what your Majesty said."

Just as they were talking, a loud noise was heard outside the Yikun Palace.

"Let me go, let me go, I want to see Concubine Hua!"

Hua Fei looked at Song Zhi, and Song Zhi immediately walked out quickly and shouted loudly.

"Who is making noise outside?"

A little palace maid immediately jumped out from the palace gate.

"My Lady Concubine Hua, something bad has happened. The Master is vomiting blood!"
