Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 218 The Queen’s Good Intentions

"Where are you going, brother Shichu?"

Zhen Huan knew about Wen Shichu's medical skills. Now Zhen Huan looked at Wen Shichu as if he were a life-saving straw.

Wen Shichu's eyes were full of Zhen Huan, and she also knew that as long as she asked, there was nothing Wen Shichu could not do.

"Brother Shichu."

Wen Shichu didn't think about where he was going at this moment, including the concubines who were suffering from abdominal pain. Now, there was only Zhen Huan in his eyes.

"Sister Huan, you are still sick, why are you walking around like this? It's a good thing it was me who ran into you today."

"Brother Shichu, you know my illness."

Zhen Huan paused and continued, "I've been staying in Sui Yu Xuan and have always felt a tightness in my chest, so I thought of coming out to take a breath and relax. If I really run into someone, I'll just say that Doctor Wen told me to walk more to help my recovery, and there won't be any problem."

Wen Shichu just stood there in a daze. Since Zhen Huan said so, he couldn't say anything.

"That's fine. Just be careful and don't catch a cold. You are in the palace now, unlike before when you were at home. I can still take care of you all the time. Tell me, if you had accepted my jade pot that day, you wouldn't have to be so cautious now."

Although this matter was Zhen Huan's own choice, Wen Shichu did not blame her at all. Instead, his eyes were full of heartache. If there was a man in the Zhen family, this would not have happened. All of this had to be borne by Zhen Huan, a weak woman.

Now that she has entered the palace, she can only pretend to be sick and avoid favor to protect herself.

In front of Zhen Huan, Wen Shichu always felt that he had not done well enough and never had the intention of blaming Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan smiled and nodded. She looked at Wen Shichu carrying the medicine box. She thought he must be going to treat the concubines in the palace, but she didn't know which one he was going to. "Which palace is Brother Shichu going to now?"

"Alas, now everyone in the palace has abdominal pain. It is also the emperor's order. The concubines in each palace are treated. All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital take turns to treat them. I don't know when they will be done."

Wen Shichu sighed. On weekdays, he was not very busy and he still had time to go to Suiyuxuan to check pulses and prepare medicine. But now that this happened, he was afraid that he would not have any free time in the next one or two days.

"Brother Shichu, can you help Huan'er?" Zhen Huan looked at Wen Shichu lovingly.

Not to mention that Zhen Huan would not do this, as long as Zhen Huan asked, Wen Shichu would do it even if it meant going through fire and water: "Sister Huan, tell me what favor you can do. I will do my best to help you."

It was rare for Zhen Huan to ask me for help, but given my friendship for Zhen Huan and the relationship between the Zhen and Wen families, I was willing to do anything for her.

Seeing that Wen Shichu did not refuse, Zhen Huan spoke up: "Brother Shichu, can you go to Xianfu Palace first? My best sister since childhood is there. I don't know what the situation is now. If Lord Wen can go, it will definitely make Huaner feel at ease."

Since it can make Zhen Huan feel at ease, there is no reason for Wen Shichu not to go. He agreed immediately.

"Okay, as long as it can make Sister Huan feel a little relieved, it's worth it."

"Take care of yourself. I'll come to see you after I'm done with these few busy days."

After hearing what Wen Shichu said, Zhen Huan nodded and let Wen Shichu go quickly.

Jiang Cheng also hurried to Yikun Palace to report.

Nian Shilan had been waiting in Yikun Palace for quite a long time, waiting for Jiang Cheng's reply. Just as she finished muttering in her heart, Jiang Cheng came over.

"Miss."

"No need to be polite, just speak."

"Yes, I have checked carefully and found safflower powder in the cakes of the ladies. This substance is extremely cold, so it caused the ladies to suffer from constant abdominal pain."

It's no wonder. No wonder he said he was fine. I looked at the pastry at the time. It was not crab roe pastry, and I had no appetite, so I simply didn't eat it. Otherwise, I would have become one of the people suffering from abdominal pain.

But when Jiang Cheng mentioned safflower, could it be the safflower that he understood? "Is the safflower that Doctor Jiang was talking about the one that hurts the body?"

Nian Shilan asked casually.

I know how powerful qualified things are. In my previous life, I drank a pot of safflower from Concubine Duan because I lost my child. To be honest, I still feel a little guilty towards her in my previous life.

"Yes, your majesty is right, it is that red flower."

Jiang Cheng did not deny what Hua Fei said at all. In fact, to put it bluntly, the things in the palace all have extremely strong medicinal effects. Apart from this, what else could there be but safflower?

Nian Shilan sneered. This queen was really cruel. This was a great trick she played. If any concubine took too much, it would be a one-time solution for the queen.

"Are the red flowers the only ones for the concubines?"

Nian Shilan thought that Xuanshu ate the pastries on the emperor's table and was fine, so the emperor should be normal.

"Yes, but the cakes of the ladies in the palaces are mixed with something, while the cakes of the emperor, empress and princes do not have it."

It seems that this is really aimed at the concubines, and it just so happens that he can put the blame on himself, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

Probably understanding what was going on, and since there was no time to lose, Concubine Hua quickly took Jiang Cheng to the Yangxin Palace to meet the Emperor.

What Jiang Cheng said, plus what he had just asked Zhang Zongguan, was enough to punish Lipin. However, there was a bigger mastermind behind Lipin, and it was not certain whether he could be dug out.

"Jinxi, go to the Imperial Kitchen to find Butler Zhang, and then go to the Yangxin Palace."

Nian Shilan thought that if she was alone, the emperor might not believe her without any evidence, so it would be safer to bring both of them along.

The Emperor was worrying about this matter in the Yangxin Palace at the moment when he heard Su Peisheng say that Concubine Hua was coming with Imperial Physician Jiang.

Since the imperial physician has come with him, there must be some progress.

"pass."

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

"My beloved concubine is exempt from the gift."

After just a moment's absence, she saw that the emperor looked much more haggard than before. "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Jiang has just reported to me. Why don't you let Imperial Doctor Jiang tell you?"

"Doctor Jiang, please speak."

After giving Jiang Cheng instructions, Concubine Hua sat aside and didn't say anything.

Jiang Cheng repeated to the Emperor what he had just said to Concubine Hua, but the Emperor was so angry that he threw a teacup out.

"Okay! Safflower! Are you going to leave my kingdom without a successor?!" The emperor grew up in the palace since he was a child. He knows the medicinal effects of safflower better than the imperial physician.
