A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

After Zuo Wenyi and Ling Xiangxiang arrived at the palace, Ling Xiangxiang asked curiously, "What is this rare thing? Tell me quickly!"

Zuo Wenyi pretended to be mysterious and said, "Guess, you will never guess who this person is."

Ling Xiangxiang went through all the concubines in the palace in her mind, and anyone she thought of was a possibility, so she asked, "Is it the Queen?"

Zuo Wenyi shook her head. "No, guess again."

Ling Xiangxiang thought about the other concubines again. "Then... could it be Concubine Qing? Or Concubine Ru?"

Zuo Wenyi still shook her head and denied it, "That's not right."

Ling Xiangxiang couldn't bear it any longer and didn't want to guess anymore, so she said, "I can't guess, I won't guess anymore, who is it? Don't give me any more riddles!"

Zuo Wenyi approached Ling Xiangxiang and said, "It's Concubine Shen. Last time I went to the Imperial Hospital to ask the imperial physician to prescribe medicine to regulate my body, I accidentally discovered that she was also regulating her body!"

Ling Xiangxiang was not surprised after hearing this, but felt that it was normal.

"What's wrong with conditioning your body? You can ask the imperial physician to condition your body, so why can't others do the same?"

Zuo Wenyi immediately retorted, "You are confused. How can I be the same as her? I am weak and frail after giving birth. How can she be in trouble? Look at her, she is full of energy all day long!"

"I guess she asked the imperial physician to take care of her body in order to get pregnant as soon as possible."

Ling Xiangxiang recalled what Concubine Shen usually did and said, "But I don't think Concubine Shen is someone who would compete for favor. She is still young, why should she be so anxious about having an heir?"

Zuo Wenyi smiled and said, "You don't understand this, right? In this harem, it's okay to not have the emperor's favor, but it's absolutely not okay to not have an heir. After all, the emperor's favor is only temporary, and an heir is a lifelong amulet!"

"If you have a child, you will have more people to rely on. You know how favored Concubine Rou was before, but now no one cares about her! But if you have a child, you will have a chance to make a comeback!"

Ling Xiangxiang nodded thoughtfully.

"So according to you, she is also thinking about her future?"

Zuo Wenyi affirmed, "Yes, she has slept with us more often than we do. There is still no news about her pregnancy. It must be because of irregular menstruation, so she asked the imperial physician to treat her body."

Concubine Shen was indeed more favored by the Emperor than the two of them. Ling Xiangxiang knew all this, so she thought what Zuo Wenyi said made sense.

Ling Xiangxiang said, "Maybe, maybe she has irregular menstruation, so she is a little anxious."

Zuo Wenyi nudged Ling Xiangxiang with her elbow. "What about you? Last time I asked you when your period was last month, you didn't tell me clearly. Have you had your period this month?"

Ling Xiangxiang replied, "Not yet. This time last month...it seemed...it seemed like it had already arrived."

After hearing this, Zuo Wenyi's heart skipped a beat!

It seems that Ling Xiangxiang is almost certain to be pregnant, so Zuo Wenyi immediately came up with a plan in his mind, which is to use blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing herbs to expel the blood from her! Even if she can't expel it completely, she will die.

Zuo Wenyi said, "Your period came at this time last month, but it hasn't come this month, which means your period is delayed!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it looks like you have some menstrual irregularities. Most women are like this."

Ling Xiangxiang was naive and had never thought about being pregnant. After hearing what Zuo Wenyi said, she thought her period was delayed.

"Ah, it seems that I have postponed it this month!"

Seeing that Ling Xiangxiang had fallen for it, Zuo Wenyi continued to deceive her, "Then you have to take care of yourself quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to have children in the future!"

Ling Xiangxiang said vaguely, "Oh, I'm not in a hurry. I'm just a child myself, and... I'm not spoiled. If I go to the Imperial Hospital to find a doctor to regulate my body now, I'll be laughed at by others if I tell others about it!"

Zuo Wenyi explained the pros and cons to Ling Xiangxiang with reason and emotion, "You are not in a hurry, but don't forget your family behind you! Don't forget why they sent you to the palace!"

"You may think you are young, but don't forget, at this time next year, there will be many more beauties selected to enter the palace. If you don't hurry up, will you still have anything to do?"

After listening to Zuo Wenyi's words, Ling Xiangxiang was indeed a little shaken. "I..."

Seeing Ling Xiangxiang wavering, Zuo Wenyi took advantage of the situation and said, "We were all selected to enter the palace together. I have already given birth to the fifth prince, and Song Qingwan will also give birth soon. Look at Concubine Shen, she has begun to worry because she knows that she doesn't have much time left!"

"Now is the time to take advantage of it. The new concubines have not been selected into the palace yet, and you can't sleep with me from time to time. It's not too late to take care of your body now."

Ling Xiangxiang hesitated and said, "You are right, but I don't have the family background of Concubine Shen. Where can I find a trusted imperial physician to treat my body? If I go rashly, won't everyone know about it?"

Zuo Wenyi also sighed, "Alas... yes, we don't have the family background of Concubine Shen!"

Then he patted Ling Xiangxiang's shoulder and comforted her, "But don't feel bad. I think it's not a big problem for you. It's just that your period is delayed for a few days. I happen to have some herbs that can promote menstruation and dissipate blood stasis. You can drink it and your period will come."

Ling Xiangxiang was pleasantly surprised and said, "That's great, how come you have this kind of medicine?"

Zuo Wenyi smiled and said, "You forgot, I have given birth to a child, so the imperial physician naturally prescribed me many blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing herbs to help me get rid of the congestion in my body!"

Ling Xiangxiang suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, yes, thank you very much. I don't have to go to the Imperial Hospital anymore, so that others won't talk about me behind my back!"

Zuo Wenyi said, "You're welcome. Otherwise, those herbs will just sit there. Come with me to the west side hall. I'll fry them in a small casserole for you to drink. It's not too late for you to put it off. The sooner you drink it, the better!"

Ling Xiangxiang readily agreed, "Okay, that's great, but I'll have to trouble you again. Why don't I ask Persimmon to fry it for me?"

Zuo Wenyi lowered his voice and said, "It's better not to let more people know. Once the servants know about it, they will discuss it among themselves in private, and then everyone will know about it."

Ling Xiangxiang "But... Persimmon is not that kind of person, she..."

Before Ling Xiangxiang finished speaking, Zuo Wenyi interrupted her and took her hand and walked out.

"Oh, let's go. Shizi is busy teaching Liu'er how to make Zhuluo! I am a noble after all. You are not satisfied with me personally making medicine for you!"

Ling Xiangxiang chuckled, "That's true, I got some benefit from it!"

The two of them walked out like this. When they passed through the courtyard, Persimmon saw that her young master was following Zuo Wenyi and asked loudly, "Young master! Where are you going? I will go with you, shall I?"

Ling Xiangxiang wanted to agree, but Zuo Wenyi winked at her and answered for her, "Nothing, your young master is going to my place to rest for a while, you don't have to follow her!"
