Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Ever since Honghui was born, Yixiu's heart has become even more tense.

Whether Honghui can live to adulthood depends entirely on whether I can turn the situation around and save the child in this life.

For 12 hours a day, except when she was sleeping, Yixiu's eyes were almost completely glued to Honghui.

This is her son, and all the beautiful imaginations she has about the world after she comes back to life.

His eyes were like two of the brightest stars, sparkling with an innocent light. When he opened his little red mouth, the babbling sounds were more beautiful than the music played by the most famous musicians in the capital. His skin was fair and smooth, unlike some people who were born with dark skin and were not at all pleasing to the eye.

These days, Yixiu let the wet nurse eat a lot of supplements, so that Honghui can replenish his body while drinking the wet nurse's milk.

Honghui is not even a month old now, but he is obviously stronger than other children of the same age, and even his crying is exceptionally loud.

Fortunately, no one else noticed such subtle differences in the child.

After all, most of the women in this palace have no experience of giving birth, unlike me who has lived a new life. When I was the queen in my previous life, I had many children.

On this day, Doctor Wen came to the mansion as usual to take care of Yixiu and the young prince.

Strangely enough, the Fourth Prince's mansion originally had a mansion physician, but ever since Yixiu sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Wen twice, everyone seemed to have acquiesced that only Doctor Wen could recuperate the concubine and her son.

But today, after taking the pulse, Doctor Wen's mood was obviously not as high as usual. He didn't know why the pulses of the concubine and the young prince were both good, which showed that his care these days was not in vain.

As a doctor, Wen Xumo knew that he should be happy, but he just couldn't muster up the interest, and even his voice sounded muffled.

"The concubine and the little prince are both in good health. After a few days, when the little prince is one month old, I won't have to come again."

He reported the situation to Yixiu truthfully, and his words were very serious and in accordance with the rules.

Yi Zhengzhen held Honghui in his arms and coaxed him gently, patting Honghui's back with his fingers without armor. Naturally, he did not notice the change in Doctor Wen's mood.

Instead, she was very satisfied and praised Doctor Wen: "Thank you for your hard work these days. Jianqiu, bring me the thank-you gift I prepared for Doctor Wen."

What Jianqiu brought was a small bag of golden melon seeds and a medical book.

The medical book was thick, with the words "Illustrated Notes on the Southern Meridians" written on the cover. It was actually the work of Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty.

Yixiu looked at Doctor Wen and politely said, "I also have some knowledge of medicine. Although I am not as good as Lord Wen, who has been practicing medicine for generations, this book is a hardcover edition. It records the characteristics of each acupuncture point in detail. It also puts forward Li Shizhen's own new views based on the predecessors. I think Doctor Wen may be able to use it in the future. Please don't look down on me for showing off my skills in front of an expert."

With just these few words, Wen Xumo felt that the frustration that had been weighing on his heart for a whole day was swept away, just like dark clouds finally being driven away by the sun.

He took the things from Jianqiu and bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your appreciation, Concubine. I am very grateful. If you need me in the future, please ask Aunt to go to the Imperial Hospital to find me."

This was exactly what Yixiu was waiting for. She didn't bother to be polite with Wen Xumo and just said that both she and the young prince would inevitably feel uncomfortable in the future, and they would definitely have to trouble Doctor Wen, so she thanked him in advance.

Holding the medical book, Wen Xumo returned to the Imperial Hospital and flipped through the "Illustrated Southern Meridians".

At this time, he was just an inconspicuous minor official in the Imperial Hospital, and he did not have much work to do in diagnosing the pulses of dignitaries.

I flipped through the book from the afternoon until dark, and when I could no longer make out the tiny annotations in the book, I got up, lit a candle, and continued.

"Dr. Wen is so studious, what book is he reading?" A familiar colleague came over, but couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the title of the book.

"Illustrated Guide to the Southern Meridians"?

Isn't this the book they were supposed to memorize before entering the Imperial Medical Service? Why are they still reading it now?

Wen Xumo gave his colleagues a look that said "you don't understand", but he evaded the question by saying "reviewing the old knowledge can help you learn new things, so I'll just review it again."

He thought to himself that this was the first time since he entered the Imperial Medical Bureau that a noble person had recognized his skills and taken the trouble to prepare a reward. Let's see what happens. If he had more time, he would be eager to copy it again!

However, Wen Xumo didn't have that much time after all.

Although he was just a junior physician who had just joined the Imperial Medical Bureau, the Wen family had been practicing medicine for generations. As the youngest member of the Wen family, he would inevitably be asked to do some work such as dispensing medicines in his spare time.

At the end of March, the willow branches in the capital have already sprouted emerald green leaves. The spring breeze blows by, creating a thriving scene. The air is neither cold nor dry, and even the annoying strong winds have stopped. This is the best time of year to enjoy the best scenery in the capital.

In the Fourth Prince's mansion, the reborn Yixiu, by chance, accepted Imperial Doctor Wen as her own to pave the way for her future.

On the other side, Galdan was exhausted and died after swallowing poison. News also came back that his daughter led 300 households to surrender.

"Then, will the Fourth Prince also come back?"

When Rouze and Qi Yuebin heard the news, they asked this question almost at the same time.

However, when the two of them were thinking about the news, they had different thoughts.

Although Qi Yuebin is also the daughter of a military general, no one in her family has been to the battlefield for many years. She has no family to rely on and no children. Although she is still young, she is extremely worried about her future.

Now, I am afraid that the only thing I can hold on to is the heart of the Fourth Prince. Fortunately, I have sent him many letters. The Fourth Prince must have not replied because he was busy with military affairs, but at least he knows that I care about him.

Fourth Prince, please come back soon!

Although her father and brother went to the army and made great contributions, Rouze still felt uneasy.
