Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

74

"Jiang Yubin, come over here and show the queen what's going on."

After hearing the emperor's order, Li Yu respectfully got up from the ground, but because he had been running too fast, his body was a little shaky and he almost fell to the ground. At this moment, Suo Xin, who was standing beside him, quickly supported Li Yu and prevented him from falling.

Li Yu was secretly grateful to惢心 for her timely help. If she hadn't helped him, he would have made a fool of himself in front of the emperor and might even be punished for it. He looked at惢心 with gratitude, then quickly adjusted his posture and stood straight.

At this time, the emperor had turned around and was concentrating on watching Jiang Yubin feel Ruyi's pulse. Taking this opportunity, Suo Xin quietly approached Li Yu and reminded him in a low voice:

"Be careful."

Li Yu nodded to show that he understood. He knew that his behavior just now was a bit out of control, and if he made any more mistakes, he would probably not be able to escape punishment.

After Suo Xin finished speaking softly, she quietly stepped aside and waited quietly. She handed the task of serving the master to Lian Xin behind her, and she stood at the end.

Originally, whenever Jiang Yubin came to Changchun Palace to treat the Empress, it was always Suo Xin who walked in front. Because Suo Xin and Jiang Yubin were from the same hometown, everyone in Changchun Palace was waiting for good things to happen between Suo Xin and Jiang Yubin.

However, ever since the last incident with Wang Qin,惢心 has become much colder towards Jiang Yubin, and also towards Li Yu, who is from the same hometown as them.

……

Jiang Yubin felt Ruyi's pulse carefully with a serious face. From time to time, he could hear the sound of her even breathing coming from inside the tent. Jiang Yubin closed his eyes and pretended not to notice the anxious look on the emperor's face. He just continued to feel Ruyi's pulse silently.

When the emperor's expression was about to collapse, Jiang Yubin withdrew his hand. Without saying anything, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from the emperor.

"Your Majesty! The Queen is overly worried, and her body is lacking in Qi and blood, which has also hurt her spleen and kidneys. The Queen may have fainted today because she was too emotional and angry. I can only prescribe some tonics for the Queen to recuperate, but the specific situation depends on the Queen's own recovery ability and physical condition. After all, the Queen's body has always been weak. If she does not get enough rest and conditioning, it will be difficult for her to fully recover. However, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. As long as the Queen takes medicine every day in the future, I believe that the Queen will get better as soon as possible."

The emperor's eyes widened in shock, and he asked in disbelief, "How could this happen? Isn't the queen usually in good health? How could she suddenly fall ill? Is this how you imperial doctors usually treat my queen?"

Jiang Yubin shuddered when the emperor questioned him. He just thought about his own plan and finally gritted his teeth to continue his speech.

"Yes, I am incompetent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I think it was because when the Empress gave birth to the two princesses and princes, she did not take good care of her body, which left a root of illness. Your Majesty, please do not worry. I think I will take good care of the Empress in the future. She should be able to recover as before in half a year. If Doctor Qi was here, his medical skills would be more sophisticated than mine, and he would surely help the Empress recover faster. But now that Concubine Zhang is pregnant, she cannot do without the doctor after all."

In fact, Ruyi in the tent was already awakened by Jiang Yubin when he suddenly howled. When Jiang Yubin said that he didn't know when Ruyi would wake up, Ruyi was staring at the top of the bed with her big eyes and a blank look.

She really didn't know what Jiang Yubin wanted to do. Why did he say that she couldn't wake up for no reason? However, after listening to what he said, Ruyi roughly understood what Jiang Yubin was thinking.

As expected, after Jiang Yubin finished telling the story about Qi Ru, the emperor's face became very unhappy, and he immediately ordered Li Yu to go to Jingyang Palace to summon Qi Ru back.

"There are many imperial physicians in this huge harem, and Zhang is just a noble lady. Are all these imperial physicians her private property? Li Yu, from now on, let Qi Ru go to Changchun Palace every day to feel the pulse of the empress and regulate her body. As for that noble lady Zhang, just send an imperial physician to deal with her. If noble lady Zhang still doesn't know her place and dares to continue to offend her superiors, then just arrange for a few midwives and nurses to look after her, and even the imperial physicians don't have to visit her anymore!"

The emperor was indeed moved by Jiang Yebi's words, and he directly took back what he had said a few days ago that the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau would be at Zhang Minmin's disposal in the future.

But I'm afraid the emperor doesn't remember it very well. After all, he has to say many kinds of love words to many people every day. Sometimes the emperor himself even forgets what promises he made to which women.

When Ruyi realized that the emperor wanted to lift the curtain and sit next to her, she quickly closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

The emperor looked at Ruyi lying lifeless on the bed, and a trace of guilt flashed across his face. Over the years, Ruyi had always managed the harem in an orderly manner. Whenever he encountered troubles in the previous dynasty, Ruyi was by his side to help him express his emotions.

Thinking about how he had just made Ruyi kneel in the Xining Palace for so long because of a momentary anger, the emperor actually felt a rare trace of pity for Ruyi.

The emperor carefully held Ruyi's hand in his palm, and his expression was so affectionate that Ruyi could feel the emperor's gentle movements when he held her hand without opening her eyes.

But when Ruyi thought about the emperor's hand touching other women's skin, she felt an irrepressible disgust in her heart. It was as if the hand was covered with dirt and filth, making her feel extremely disgusted and uncomfortable.

Every time she recalled this scene, Ruyi's chest would churn. She tried hard to suppress the discomfort, but it kept coming to her mind like a tide, making it hard for her to breathe. It felt like countless bugs were gnawing at her heart, causing her unbearable pain.

Ruyi could not help but begin to doubt whether her feelings for the emperor were really that deep. Could it be that this love had been eroded by betrayal and deception and had become unrecognizable?

I'm afraid that's the truth.

Just when Ruyi was about to be unable to bear the emperor's touching her, someone outside came to inform her that someone from Xining Palace was looking for the emperor.

Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. If the emperor didn't leave, she would probably get goosebumps all over her body from the emperor's touch.

The emperor gently and carefully tucked in the quilt for Ruyi, who was pretending to be asleep, for fear of waking her up. Then, he looked at Ruyi quietly for a while, his eyes full of tenderness and concern. Finally, he whispered to Lianxin and惢心 beside him:

"You must take good care of the Queen. If the Queen is unwell in the future, go directly to the Imperial Hospital and ask Qi Ru to come and treat the Queen."

After saying this, the emperor turned and left.

However, as soon as the emperor stepped out of the room, Ruyi suddenly opened her eyes. She completely ignored the shocked expressions on惢心 and 莲心's faces, and quickly waved her hand to signal the maids around her to quickly prepare hot water. She really couldn't stand the close contact between the emperor and herself just now. Every time she was close, she would feel extremely disgusted.

At the same time, in Xining Palace, after experiencing severe pain for a stick of incense, Hengchu finally succeeded in aborting the male fetus that had already formed in her abdomen.

When the poor child was just landed, he seemed to be still alive, crying loudly, as if telling the world about his misfortune and injustice. The cry echoed throughout the palace, making everyone who heard it feel pity.

Zhen Huan originally wanted to have the child taken away. If the child was lucky enough to survive, she would just throw him out of the palace in the future, which would also be considered as accumulating blessings for her daughter.

But when Hengchu heard the sound of the baby crying, her confused body suddenly sat up from the bed. The next second, Hengchu tightly pinched the baby who was held in the arms of the nanny.

Because Hengchui was really using too much force, even the veins on her forehead were bulging. She used all her strength with a ferocious look on her face, and kept muttering viciously,

"Go to hell, go to hell! All of you go to hell!"

The child was born prematurely and was very weak, so Hengchui just exerted force and the child soon died in her hands.

Seeing this, Hengchu, who had strangled her own child to death, fell back as if relieved and fell back into her mother's arms.

Zhen Huan cried out in pain. This time, Zhen Huan could no longer control her heartache for her daughter. Her daughter had been the most favored princess in the harem since she was born. She must have suffered a lot in Junggar over the years, which is why she is like this now.

Fujia, who was standing by, looked at Hengzhuo, whose emotions seemed to have stabilized somewhat, and hurried forward to carry the dead child out. Although Princess Hengzhuo did not want this child, the child was of royal blood after all, so Fujia still had someone prepare a thin coffin for the child and sent him out.

Inside the house, Hengzhuo burst into tears and fell into Zhen Huan's arms. This was the first time that Hengzhuo had cried so uncontrollably since she was a child. Even when she was asked to marry far away, she had never cried as painfully as she did today.

Zhen Huan was heartbroken. Seeing Hengchu crying like rain, her heart seemed to be torn apart and in unbearable pain. However, in addition to the pain, a ball of anger was burning in her chest.

Hengzhuo cried so hard that she couldn't even make a sound in the end. Perhaps she was exhausted from crying, so she could only collapse powerlessly in Zhen Huan's arms. Zhen Huan looked at her with pity, and carefully laid Hengzhuo flat on the bed.

My daughter spent the first half of her life in displacement. Now that she has returned, as a mother, I will make sure that my daughter stays away from the past, even if it means giving up everything I have.

Zhen Huan looked at Hengzhuo, who was now lying very quietly on the bed, and her mind could not help but recall the time when she first saw Hengzhuo when she returned to the palace.

If the emperor had brought his daughter back earlier, his daughter would not have become what she is now. As the queen mother, I have done enough for the emperor!

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is already waiting for you outside. Do you want to change your clothes before going out?"

"No, the emperor is very filial to me. He let my daughter suffer humiliation in Junggar. I should let the emperor take a good look at my appearance and see what kind of life my daughter Hengchu is leading in Junggar!"
