The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 10: Zhen Huan Avoids Favor

When Zhen Huan returned to the palace, the palace servants had already noticed that Zhen Huan was missing and were hurriedly looking for her. Then they saw Zhen Huan stumbling into the bedroom.

"Where has the young lady gone? Please ask our servants to find you." When Jinxi and Huanbi saw Zhen Huan coming back, they hurriedly asked.

Zhen Huan sat on the stool in a daze, not saying a word.

"My lady, the Empress has just issued an edict saying that she has asked the Emperor that from today onwards, the new ladies entering the palace can serve the Emperor in bed. The first grace bestowed upon the newcomers to the palace will surely be yours, my servant would like to congratulate you first." Kang Luhai hurriedly flattered Zhen Huan when he saw her.

"You can sleep with me today. You don't necessarily have to fight for this first favor. It's not good to show off too much. But you can prepare yourself. Sooner or later it will be your turn." Jinxi smiled and took over Kang Luhai's words.

Seeing that Zhen Huan still had no intention of responding, Huanbi quickly said, "My lady has just returned. I'm afraid she must be hungry. Please serve her food."

"No need, I have no appetite." Zhen Huan said tremblingly.

After saying this, he was about to enter the inner hall. Seeing this, Jinxi and Huanbi hurriedly followed him, and did not forget to turn back and instruct Kang Luhai: "The young lady is tired, ask the imperial kitchen to simmer the food first, and serve the meal after the young lady has rested enough." After saying this, the three of them entered the inner hall together.

When they arrived at the inner hall, Zhen Huan was lying on the couch. She saw Jinxi and Huanbi, thought for a moment and said, "Jinxi, you should go out first. Huanbi is enough in the inner hall."

Cui Jinxi heard what Zhen Huan said, but she didn't say anything and retreated. Cui Jinxi knew that after all, she was a servant in the palace, and Zhen Huan had only known her for a short time, so she didn't trust her.

But after many years in the palace, Cui Jinxi knew that if she wanted to live the rest of her life in peace, she could not serve two masters at the same time. Her future honor and disgrace all depended on Zhen Huan. One day, Zhen Huan would see her loyalty. As for what would happen in the future, everything was fate.

Zhen Huan and Huan Bi were the only ones left in the inner hall. Huan Bi asked with concern, "Miss, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call the imperial physician?"

Zhen Huan looked at Huan Bi's anxious expression and consoled her: "It's okay, I'm just a little frightened. Let's go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Wen to come over."

When Huanbi heard this, she immediately agreed and was about to get up to find Doctor Wen.

Before she left, Zhen Huan reminded her, "Remember, it can only be Doctor Wen. If he's not here, come back and don't tell anyone else on the way."

"I understand, young lady, don't worry." After agreeing, Huanbi went to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Wen.

In the Imperial Hospital

"Doctor Wen, are you busy?" As soon as Huanbi entered the Imperial Hospital, she saw Wen Shichu and ran to him to ask.

When Doctor Wen heard this, he looked up and saw that it was Miss Huanbi. He was a little surprised and stood up to ask, "Miss Huanbi, what do you want from me? But your mistress..."

Huanbi saw Doctor Wen and quickly interrupted him, "Yes, my young lady may have caught a cold yesterday, and I want Doctor Wen to check it out when he is not busy."

When Doctor Wen heard what Huanbi said, he hurriedly said, "I have time now. I hope Miss Huanbi will lead the way."

After saying that, he took the medicine box and rushed to Sui Yuxuan with Huanbi.

When we arrived at Shuiyuxuan, Jinxi and Liuzhu were waiting outside the door.

When Liuzhu saw Huanbi coming with Doctor Wen, she hurried over and asked with concern, "Young Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Huanbi didn't know what had happened, so she said calmly, "My lady hasn't had her meal yet. Go to the kitchen and make some of her favorite pastries for her to eat later."

After hearing this, Liuzhu didn't ask any more questions and went to the small kitchen to busy herself.

When Wen Shichu entered the bedroom, he stood behind the screen, waiting for Zhen Huan to call him. Huanbi hurried forward and whispered, "Miss, Doctor Wen is here."

"Please come in." Zhen Huan said weakly.

Huanbi led Doctor Wen to Zhen Huan's bedside. Wen Shichu quickly took a handkerchief and placed it on Zhen Huan's wrist, carefully examining her pulse.

"My lady, you..." Wen Shichu was interrupted by Zhen Huan before he could finish his words.

"Doctor Wen, I... do you still take what you said outside the palace that day seriously?" Zhen Huan asked, referring to the time when Wen Shichu confessed his love to her outside the palace and promised to protect her forever.

"What I said is true. I will always protect you, my lady, forever." Wen Shichu promised quickly.

"Doctor Wen, forever is too far away. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. I came here just to say that I don't want to sleep with you yet." Zhen Huan looked at Wen Shichu calmly, with a little fragility and persistence.

Wen Shichu was very surprised when he heard what Zhen Huan said: "Sister Huan, since you have entered the palace, it is only a matter of time before you sleep with the emperor."

Wen Shichu didn't say the rest, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The person he had admired for a long time would one day serve someone else, even if that person was the emperor.

Zhen Huan looked at Wen Shichu with a firm gaze: "I know, but I don't want to..."

"Your Majesty, I understand. The young lady is suffering from palpitations and is frightened, and she also happens to have caught a cold. She needs to be isolated and rest." Wen Shichu naturally understood what Zhen Huan meant, so he agreed with her.

Zhen Huan asked worriedly, "Will others notice something unusual?"

Wen Shichu quickly assured: "Of course not, young master, don't worry."

Zhen Huan was naturally satisfied with Wen Shichu's words, so she said calmly: "Then I'll have to trouble Imperial Doctor Wen."

"This is all my duty. I will prescribe some prescriptions for you later." Wen Shichu looked at Zhen Huan and felt uncomfortable.

After all, the person you love will become a stranger to you in the future, and it is inevitable to complain about the unfairness of fate.

Zhen Huan didn't say anything else and asked Huanbi to send Doctor Wen out.

After Doctor Wen left the courtyard, he turned around and said to Huanbi, "Miss Huanbi, there is no need to send me off. I will personally bring the prepared medicine to you later."

Huanbi thanked him quickly, but Doctor Wen waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and reminded her worriedly: "If the young lady has any more instructions, just come to the Imperial Hospital to find me."

Huanbi agreed and went to the small kitchen to find Liuzhu.

"Are the snacks for the young lady ready?" Huanbi asked as she looked at Liuzhu's busy figure.

When Liuzhu saw Huanbi, she said, "I just made some chestnut cakes. You can take them to the young lady. I'll also make some lotus root powder and osmanthus cakes and bring them to the young lady later."

After hearing this, Huanbi nodded and carried the chestnut cake into the bedroom.

"My lady, Liuzhu made some chestnut cakes for you. If you don't want to have lunch, you can have some snacks." Huanbi carefully placed the snacks on the table and walked to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan waved her hands absentmindedly, "Just leave it there for now. I'll use it later."

Huanbi wanted to say something, but Zhen Huan looked at her and said, "You should go down first, too. I want to be alone."

Seeing this, Huanbi didn't know what to say and had to retreat.
