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

Chapter 69: The Doctor Selected by Concubine Hua

Neither Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan, nor An Lingrong had ever seen Concubine Hua so sad.

For the first time, they felt Hua Fei's fragility.

It is the nature of most people to sympathize with the helpless and miserable weak.

If Concubine Hua was still high and mighty, glamorous, and domineering, even if she cried loudly, others would only gloat over her misfortune.

But at this moment, the grief in Concubine Hua's eyes almost overwhelmed her, and Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang could not bear to watch any longer.

"Your Majesty is still young, there will definitely be more." Shen Meizhuang comforted softly.

Concubine Hua shook her head gently, "If there was a chance, it would have happened a long time ago." As she spoke, she took a handkerchief and wiped the almost non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

Zhen Huan also looked a little sad, "My Lady, please be at ease."

An Lingrong also said: "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, there will definitely be another chance."

Concubine Hua wiped away her tears, nodded, and held Shen Meizhuang's hand. "I believe you will get pregnant, don't worry. My brother knows an old Chinese doctor in the northwest who is quite knowledgeable about gynecology. If you are assured, I will write to my brother and ask the Chinese doctor to come and help you treat me."

Shen Meizhuang subconsciously glanced at Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan gave her an affirmative look.

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty Hua Fei." Shen Meizhuang said to Hua Fei gratefully.

........

Jingren Palace a few days later.

The emperor had just woken up from a nap when An Lingrong came over to pay her respects.

"You always say you want to be filial to me, but when I was really sick, I hardly saw many of you around. But you, An, came around frequently. I feel much warmer now."

An Lingrong said: "The Queen is the master of the six palaces, and it is her duty as concubines to serve and visit her. Those who are arrogant because of the favor they receive are just relying on the Emperor's favor. Without the Emperor's favor, those people are nothing, but the Queen is still the master of the six palaces."

The Queen looked at An Lingrong and smiled with relief, "It's amazing that An Ying knows the rules so well. I will remember you."

An Lingrong bowed deliberately, "It is a blessing for me to be remembered by the Queen."

Jianqiu brought over some tea for washing, and the Queen glanced at An Lingrong.

An Lingrong was slightly startled, and it took her a while to realize what to do. She quickly stood up and took the tea from Jianqiu's hand.

"Let me serve Her Majesty the Queen."

The Queen was quite dissatisfied with An Lingrong's slowness just now, "After entering the harem, although I am the Queen, I can't compare to the glamorous and beautiful Concubine Hua."

The implication is to tell An Lingrong that she can go and seek refuge with Concubine Hua.

An Lingrong knelt on the ground with tea in her hand. "Although Concubine Hua is favored by the emperor, if the queen is sick, she will have to kneel down and serve you like this."

Seeing An Lingrong being so cautious and afraid of her, the Queen smiled with satisfaction. She looked at Jianqiu and said sternly, "Didn't you see An Lingrong kneeling? Why don't you help her up?"

Jianqiu acted frightened and quickly helped An Lingrong up.

"It was my negligence. Please promise me that I won't take offense."

An Lingrong shook her head gently, "Aunt Jianqiu, you are too kind."

After helping the Queen finish washing up, An Lingrong stepped aside politely.

After the Queen took a sip of hot tea, she also asked An Lingrong to sit down.

"I have seen you always with Lady Wan and Lady Shen, why don't you see them?"

An Lingrong's expression froze slightly, and she forced a smile, "I am just a concubine. My sisters are favored by the emperor on weekdays, and I sometimes don't see them."

The Queen was surprised. "How come you don't see Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen? I have seen them interacting with Concubine Hua quite frequently."

An Lingrong sighed, "Not only do they interact frequently, they are even very close. She even told Concubine Hua about Sister Mei's inability to get pregnant."

The queen became interested.

"I also find it strange. Lady Shen is supposed to be very young and healthy, but how come she has been favored so many times but there is no sign of anything happening? Do you know the reason, An?"

An Lingrong frowned, "I don't know. But I heard from Concubine Hua that she will invite an old Chinese doctor named Chen from the northwest to treat Sister Mei."

The Queen carefully considered An Lingrong's words and asked, "How is the medical skill of the old Chinese doctor named Chen?"

An Lingrong replied: "Hua Fei said that he was a medical genius."

The queen's hand holding the teacup suddenly felt extremely heavy.

"It looks like Concubine Shen is about to have good news."

An Lingrong watched the light in the queen's eyes dim, and she said hurriedly, "In my opinion, that may not be the case. My father was in the spice business in his early years and he knows a lot about medicinal materials. Sometimes the same prescription, when used on two people with the same disease, may not have the same effect. Some are better, some are not."

When the Queen heard An Lingrong's words, a smile appeared on her lips.

"So what An agreed to mean is that even if Doctor Chen gave Concubine Shen a prescription, the effect could not be guaranteed?"

An Lingrong nodded, "Yes, after all, everyone has different physiques."

"I don't think so." Concubine Qi walked in at some point and bowed deeply to the Queen, "Greetings, Queen."

"Stand up and sit down." The Queen smiled and let Concubine Qi sit in the seat in front of An Daying.

Concubine Qi sat down confidently and couldn't help but roll her eyes at An Lingrong.

An Lingrong didn't know how she had offended Concubine Qi, so she could only lower her head in embarrassment.

"Concubine Qi, what you just said may not be true. Tell me about it." The Queen put down the teacup in her hand, smiled and nodded at Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi nodded and smiled.

"An agreed that even if Doctor Chen prescribed medicine for Concubine Shen, it might not be effective. I don't quite agree with this statement."

The queen looked very curious, "What do you mean?"

Concubine Qi glanced at An Lingrong with pride and said, "In my opinion, even if Doctor Shen's prescription is very effective, what if Concubine Shen herself doesn't want to have a child?"

An Lingrong immediately responded, "Impossible! Sister Mei dreams of getting pregnant with a dragon heir, so she has sought help from many imperial doctors."

When the Queen saw An Lingrong lose her composure, she was not angry but very happy.

"Concubine Qi is just a hypothesis. An promised that there is no need to panic."

When An Lingrong saw the emperor smiling at her gently, she suddenly felt that she had lost her composure.

"I was disrespectful just now, please forgive me, Queen."

"Ms. An is too nervous. How can I blame you?" The Queen paused and felt like drinking hot tea again. "I am already old and can no longer bear children. If Concubine Shen can give birth to a son or daughter for the Emperor, I will be very happy. But, I wonder if Doctor Chen, whom Concubine Hua invited, is as skilled as the legend says?"

Concubine Qi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Since he is the doctor chosen by Concubine Hua, I'm sure his medical skills must be good."
