After hearing what Prince Guo said, Concubine Hua could no longer refuse.

The two walked back to Concubine Hua's bedroom side by side.

"Someone, go and boil some hot water for your queen." As soon as Prince Guo stepped into the bedroom, he immediately ordered the palace maid to do it.

"Songzhi, quickly prepare clean clothes." Prince Guo turned around and instructed Songzhi again.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Songzhi hurriedly helped Concubine Hua into the inner room.

A quarter of an hour later, the palace maids carried hot water and filled the wooden barrel.

After Songzhi tested the water temperature, she allowed Concubine Hua to take a bath in the wooden tub.

"My lady, Doctor Wen just made two bowls of ginger soup for you and sent it over."

"Why two bowls of ginger soup?" Hua Fei asked puzzledly.

Songzhi smiled and said, "Didn't Prince Guo also get caught in the rain?"

Hua Fei nodded, "That's right."

Thinking of Prince Guo taking off his coat to protect her from the rain, Concubine Hua said to Songzhi, "I can wash it myself. You can take the other bowl of ginger soup to Prince Guo."

"Yes, ma'am."

Songzhi took the order and left.

After taking a bath and putting on clothes, when Concubine Hua came out, the palace maid who had been guarding outside the door hurriedly poured out the ginger soup that was still simmering in the pot and handed it to her.

After drinking a bowl of hot ginger soup, Concubine Hua felt warmer.

She returned to the room and lay on the bed for a while before Songzhi came back.

"How is Prince Guo?"

"Your Majesty is strong and healthy, and he is doing well."

After hearing Songzhi's answer, Concubine Hua felt relieved.

"Songzhi, go change your clothes quickly. You don't need to serve me tonight. Go to bed early."

"My queen, are you really okay alone?" Songzhi was a little worried.

Since childhood, Songzhi has always slept next to Concubine Hua, and she was worried that Concubine Hua would not be used to it.

"I'm fine. You've been caught in the rain today, so you need to rest. Besides, there are many maids and guards guarding outside, so don't worry."

"Then if your Majesty has anything to say, you must wake this servant up."

"I trust you the most. If not you, who else can I call?"

"Then I will take my leave first. Your Majesty, please have a rest early."

When Songzhi left, she closed the door quietly.

Concubine Hua was indeed tired. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

At night, she had a dream. She dreamed that Prince Guo was standing in front of her, covered in blood.

She sat up suddenly and called the palace maid.

"My lady, are you feeling unwell?"

The palace maid saw that Concubine Hua looked pale and asked with concern.

Hua Fei covered her chest with her hands, but could still feel her heart beating rapidly.

"What time is it now?"

The maid glanced at the sky and said, "It's probably Yin time."

"Yin hour." Concubine Hua calculated the time and it was almost dawn.

"Go call Songzhi over."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Songzhi heard Concubine Hua calling her, she immediately put on her clothes and hurried over.

Seeing her pale face, my heart tightened.

"My lady, are you feeling unwell again?"

Concubine Hua shook her head and told Songzhi what she had dreamed.

Songzhi understood immediately.

"Your Highness, please be at ease. I will go and see Ah Jin."

"Okay, let's go."

After years of getting along, the master and servant have formed a tacit understanding.

Songzhi knew that Concubine Hua was worried about Prince Guo and was not in a position to visit him in person.

It would be most appropriate for Songzhi to come forward.

"What brings you here so early in the morning, Aunt Songzhi?"

A Jin also got up early and was standing outside the door, waiting to serve Prince Guo. When he turned around, he saw Song Zhi.

When Songzhi saw Ajin's playful look, she guessed that Prince Guo should be fine.

"My queen sent this servant to ask how the prince is doing."

"Our prince is not well..."

Ah Jin said with a frown.

Songzhi thought of Concubine Hua's dream and asked hurriedly, "What happened to your prince?"

Ah Jin crossed his arms, frowned and said, "I'm a slave, it's not convenient for me to say it!"

Songzhi realized that Ajin did it on purpose.

She rolled her eyes at him, stamped her feet, and turned away.

"Please tell the prince that our queen wants to ask him how he is. If he is free today, he can come and have some tea with us."

The door creaked open.

Prince Guo strode out with his head held high.

"Please tell Aunt Songzhi that I will definitely go over this afternoon."

When Songzhi heard the voice of Prince Guo, she turned around and kneeled deeply to him.

"I will definitely convey your words, my Lord."

When she stood up, Songzhi saw Prince Guo standing in front of her with his handsome appearance, and she felt relieved.

"My queen, don't worry, the prince is fine."

After hearing what Songzhi said, Concubine Hua slowly let out the breath she had been holding.

I hope Prince Guo is okay.

In his previous life, Prince Guo died a miserable death.

In this life, Concubine Hua does not want Prince Guo to have to endure the fate of committing suicide by drinking poison.

After lunch, Wen Shichu came to check Ping'an's pulse as usual.

"My lady, have you felt that you are losing strength recently and your hands are becoming less and less powerful?"

Wen Shichu put away the handkerchief he used for taking the patient's pulse and asked Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei nodded, "Yes, I feel very tired."

Wen Shichu said: "This shows that my medicine has taken effect. As long as Your Majesty is determined and arranges everything, you can take the medicine."

Hua Fei seemed to be thinking about something and remained silent.

Wen Shichu couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he could only do his best to control the effect of the medicine.

"Doctor Wen, can children take this Turtle Breathing Pill?"

Wen Shichu frowned, "It's best to do it after the age of 6. The younger the age, the greater the risk."

Concubine Hua said, "Then I'd like to trouble Imperial Doctor Wen to help me with one last thing."

Wen Shichu leaned over to listen to Concubine Hua's whisper.

After hearing this, Wen Shichu widened his eyes in shock.

"Your Majesty, I cannot guarantee the efficacy of the medicine. I don't know if there will be any accidents. What if..."

"If an accident happens, that's fate. You just have to do it."

"Yes."

Wen Shichu felt that both of his hands were turning into ice and were shaking.

In the afternoon, Prince Guo came as promised and played a few games of chess with Concubine Hua.

Perhaps it was because of the drugs, but halfway through the chess game, Concubine Hua started yawning non-stop.

"Your Majesty, I can't stand it any longer. I have to go back to my room and lie down."

Prince Guo looked up and saw that Concubine Hua looked really bad, so he stood up and said,

"Since your majesty is not feeling well, I will take my leave."

Concubine Hua rubbed her temples with her hands and looked at Songzhi.

"Send it off, Your Majesty."

"Yes, ma'am."

Prince Guo walked out of Concubine Hua's bedroom reluctantly.

He walked away, looked back, and saw Concubine Hua had entered the house with the support of Songzhi.

Seeing his expression, Ah Jin joked, "Your Majesty, your eyes are almost fixed on Concubine Hua!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Guo’s handsome face darkened.

"Are you going to make this king lose his head?"

Ah Jin knelt on one knee, "My Lord, if you continue like this, it will only happen sooner or later!"

Prince Guo understood the hidden meaning in Ajin's words.

"I know my limits, so please get up!"

Ah Jin stood up and suddenly saw a servant sneaking past him.

He immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Who?"
