Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

Chapter 201 Red Rare Large Coral

201 Red Rare Large Coral

During these days, Zhen Huan felt quite unwell. The baby in her belly often made it difficult for her to maintain a normal life. She would vomit after eating a little, and the fetus often moved in the middle of the night, disturbing her from sleeping peacefully.

After only half a month, she had lost a lot of weight.

Fortunately, Doctor Wen recently developed a new drug that can give her some relief.

(Jingren Palace)

"Your Majesty, I heard that the man in Yongshou Palace seemed to be in poor health." Jianqiu said.

"What's wrong with that? I see that she is still as aggressive as ever and has not weakened at all." Yixiu responded.

"It's hard for me to explain, but after several observations, I find that Imperial Concubine Xi seems to have lost a lot of weight in the past half month. Even the affairs of the six palaces are mostly handled by Imperial Concubine Jing and other imperial concubines. I'm afraid that this pregnancy is..." Jianqiu was hesitant to speak.

Yixiu's expression remained unchanged as she said, "Then I will have to stay in Jingren Palace for the next few days to avoid being criticized."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. The Emperor seems to intend to let you take charge of the harem again. By then, I'm afraid our meeting will be unavoidable." Jianqiu added.

"Avoid it if you can. I don't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble." Yixiu said.

(Yongshou Palace)

"Your Majesty, I wonder why I was summoned here today?" Wen Shichu bowed and said.

"I summoned you here to ask you if the baby in my belly is safe and sound." Zhen Huan stared at him and continued, "Just tell me the truth. I can bear it."

"Your Highness, if Wei Lin and I try our best, the fetus may be saved, but it can only last up to seven months. Whether it can be successfully born and survive by then depends on God's will." Wen Shichu responded.

Zhen Huan showed a hint of joy, "Really? Can the fetus be saved?"

She had never expected that there was a chance to save the fetus this time. Even though the hope was slim, she vowed to give it a try to live up to the deep love between mother and son in these two lives.

"I have always been outspoken and unwilling to be perfunctory, but Your Majesty, you have to be mentally prepared. What if the child cannot be saved? If God does not permit, I am afraid that even if it is born, it will only live for three days..." Wen Shichu looked at Zhen Huan's expression and couldn't bear to continue speaking.

"I understand what you mean. Even if it's only three days, it's precious time. Maybe by then, this child can bring me unexpected help." As Zhen Huan spoke, there seemed to be a firm light in her eyes.

On this day, after finishing the morning court, Yinzhen came to visit Zhen Huan. She happened to be tasting the dried plums made by Yuchan. The sour and refreshing taste brought some relief to Zhen Huan.

When Yinzhen walked into the room and saw Zhen Huan's thin face, he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart.

He asked with concern: "I was busy with state affairs and didn't notice the time passing quickly. It's only been five or six days since we last met, but why do you look so tired?"

At this moment, Wen Shichu walked in from outside the palace, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in his hand, and said with a smile: "The fetus in your belly is fine, there is no need to worry."

Zhen Huan took Yin Zhen's hand and gently placed it on her slightly bulging belly, and said with a smile: "My haggardness is all due to this little naughty boy in my belly. Your Majesty doesn't know that he made a lot of noise in my belly last night, making it difficult for me to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen happily put his face close to Zhen Huan's slightly bulging belly and said, "This child is so lively and active, he must be a strong prince."

He lay there with a warm and caring attitude, talking to the child through Zhen Huan's belly: "You must be obedient, and you will be able to see your father and mother in six months. Now you are making such a fuss, which may make your mother exhausted. When you are born, your father will accompany you every day, more than your brothers, okay?"

When Zhen Huan saw how considerate Yinzhen was, she couldn't help but feel tenderness in her heart. Who could not be moved by such a scene?

Zhen Huan also smiled. She gently touched her abdomen, as if she could feel a new life growing there.

She whispered, "Did you hear that? Your Royal Father is looking forward to seeing you so much."

Her tone was full of maternal love and expectation, and her smile was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Wen Shichu saw this and interrupted at the right time: "Your Majesty, the queen should take the pregnancy-preserving medicine now."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "It's rare that you take such good care of Concubine Xi's baby. I am very comforted to have you around."

Wen Shichu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Taking care of the health of Your Majesty, the ladies, princesses and princes is my duty as the imperial physician."

Yinzhen took the bowl of black medicine in his hand and carefully fed it to Zhen Huan's lips spoonful by spoonful, while giving her many instructions in a soft voice.

Zhen Huan said in a gentle voice: "Since I became pregnant, I have been less active. The imperial physician also told me to rest and recuperate. I really feel a little bored."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? If I am too busy with government affairs to accompany you, you can ask Huifei and others to accompany you more often. Even if you want to ask the queen to come, I will let her accompany you."

Ever since Zhen Huan became pregnant, the Queen has been quite cautious about her, fearing that she would take advantage of the pregnancy to cause trouble.

Zhen Huan was well aware of the Queen's current attitude.

She pondered for a moment, then smiled and glanced at Yinzhen: "The Queen is of noble status, how can she come just because I invite her? Your Majesty said it too easily."

Yinzhen carefully wiped the remaining medicine from the corners of her mouth and said, "As long as you like it, nothing is impossible."

When Zhen Huan heard this, she just smiled and didn't say much.

By October, the autumn wind was getting cooler, and Zhen Huan's lower abdomen felt more and more bloated.

Wen Shichu has recently been using more warming and tonic herbs to relieve Zhen Huan's discomfort.

He had already prepared the medicine she needed according to Zhen Huan's instructions, and specifically told her that she only needed to mix the medicine with the pregnancy-preserving medicine and take them together, so that the medicinal properties would take effect quickly.

In order to cover up Zhen Huan's increasingly weak complexion, Jin Xi spent more and more time applying lip balm on her face every day.

After all, only in this way can we barely maintain the appearance of "good health and stable fetus" as the imperial physician has always said.

On this day, the autumn weather was cool and a rare coral measuring three point nine feet tall was presented as tribute from the Western Regions.

Yinzhen was overjoyed and specially sent this precious coral to Yongshou Palace for Zhen Huan to enjoy, hoping to win her smile.

(Yongshou Palace)

"There are many corals in the palace, but most of them are not very tall and have many flaws. This coral is bright in color, of considerable height, and perfect in shape. This is the first time I have seen one." Zhen Huan said.

Yinzhen was quite proud: "Because it is so rare, I thought about it and felt that it would be most appropriate to place it in your Yongshou Palace. Red coral is regarded as the incarnation of Tathagata Buddha. I think it will be helpful for your pregnancy."

Zhen Huan smiled like a flower, leaned against him and said, "It would be a pity for me to enjoy such precious coral alone. Why not invite all the concubines in the palace to come to Yongshou Palace to enjoy it together?"

Yinzhen took Zhen Huan's hand and said with a smile: "As long as you like, I will arrange this in two days."

Zhen Huan raised her head and smiled, "It just so happened that the magician in Baohua Palace made a peace charm for the fetus in my belly, praying for his health and success. The magician said that the person with the highest status in the palace must personally put the charm into the lucky bag and tie it to the four corners of my bedside, in order to be considered a complete merit. I thought that the most suitable candidates would be the Empress, Imperial Noble Consort Duan, and Imperial Noble Consort Jing. If I tie one myself, it will be considered complete at all four corners."

Yinzhen nodded in agreement: "This is a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, so they will naturally not refuse."

Zhen Huan pondered for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "The Queen rarely goes out nowadays. Even if someone invites her, she will usually decline. If the Queen doesn't want to come, it is inappropriate after all."

Yinzhen stroked her back and consoled her: "If you feel embarrassed, then I will go and invite her myself. With me here, the Queen will definitely come, and there will be nothing wrong with that."

Zhen Huan chuckled and sighed softly, "Your Majesty still needs to worry about this matter. In fact, since the last incident, there have been some misunderstandings between me and the Queen. I don't want the people in the six palaces to speculate that there is discord between the concubines and cause trouble again. If the Queen can do me the honor of coming, that would be the best."

When mentioning that incident, Yinzhen also showed his shame on his face, "That incident was also my fault. Someone took advantage of it. I won't do it again in the future. Moreover, as the head of the six palaces, the queen should have advocated harmony among the six palaces first. Instead, she made you, a pregnant woman, worry about it. It's really wrong of her."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. The Empress is of noble status and there are many affairs in the harem. I should be humble and help Your Majesty and the Empress to share their worries and solve their problems." Zhen Huan responded.
