After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Chapter 41: Concubine Hua steals the credit

Hua Fei lazily leaned back in her chair and asked, "Eunuch Su just wanted to say something. What was it? And he had to announce it in person."

Su Peisheng is an old man around the emperor, so his eyes are naturally unique and sharp. Now Hua Fei's people have developed the prescription for treating epidemics that the emperor needs most. I'm afraid this status and title cannot be reduced. If he reads the imperial edict, there is no guarantee that Hua Fei will not blame him in the future.

He was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, are you going to see the Emperor now?"

Concubine Hua smiled contemptuously, "Of course, I will present this prescription to His Majesty immediately."

Su Peisheng nodded and took two steps to the side to make way. "I think the treatment of the epidemic is more important. Your Majesty, please do as you wish."

Zhen Huan was rubbing the emperor's shoulders. She didn't know when the emperor fell asleep. She wanted to wake him up and he was sleeping on the couch, but the emperor's brows were furrowed even in his sleep. He must have been overworked in the past few days. She thought about it, took a blanket and covered the emperor, and sat beside him and lit a box of benzoin.

After doing all this, she called Xiao Xia Zi in and gave her some instructions. When she was about to leave, Concubine Hua came in with two imperial doctors Jiang.

Concubine Hua walked in a hurry and was excited, so she made a lot of noise and woke up the emperor as soon as she came in.

The emperor opened his eyes and rubbed his brows, "You're here!"

Concubine Hua glanced at Zhen Huan and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of disturbing your sleep. Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen came to me with a prescription for curing the epidemic. I was in a hurry. I knew that Your Majesty had been so focused on this matter that he couldn't eat or sleep these days. He didn't care about other things and came in. Your Majesty won't blame me, right?"

When the emperor heard that the two imperial doctors Jiang had developed a prescription to treat the epidemic, his eyes widened, he leaned back, and waved his hand, "Su Peisheng, bring it here!"

Su Peisheng presented the prescription. The emperor took a look at it and nodded in praise:

"Yes, the Jiang brothers developed the prescription and are truly heroes of our Qing Dynasty. Quick, you two should promote this prescription immediately and treat people both inside and outside the capital at the same time to minimize the number of infections and deaths."

"By the way, send a copy to Consort Hui's Cun Ju Tang as well."

Concubine Hua pretended to be surprised, "Noble Lady Hui?"

Zhen Huan nodded and replied, "Noble Lady Shen was falsely accused of faking pregnancy to win favor, but now the truth has been uncovered. The Emperor has given Sister Mei a title as a token of consolation."

Hua Fei smiled, her mouth twitching twice, "That really wronged Miss Shen, but now it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

The emperor said: "It's not a blessing at all. Concubine Hui accidentally contracted the epidemic and she needs this prescription from Doctor Jiang."

"Well, I heard that you have been reading medical books with the imperial doctors these days. I see that you have bruises under your eyes. Go back and rest!"

Concubine Hua bowed and left. When she left, she glanced at Su Peisheng. She roughly understood what Su Peisheng was going to announce. She was secretly glad that the prescriptions from the Jiang brothers really came as a timely rain.

Only the Emperor and Zhen Huan were left in the palace. Zhen Huan looked gloomy. She had spent so much time and effort to find evidence to frame Sister Mei, but now a prescription could offset Concubine Hua's crime. It was ridiculous.

Judging from the emperor's expression, it would be understandable for him to reward others lavishly, let alone punish Concubine Hua.

"Your Majesty, since everything has been resolved, Your Majesty, please take a good rest. I will take my leave now."

The emperor stood up and walked forward, holding her hand again and said, "You have been wronged in this matter, but now the epidemic is raging and it is time to use people. I cannot discard the donkey after it has done its work. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhen Huan nodded. At this moment, she had no choice but to accept it quietly. "I have nothing to feel wronged about. It is a blessing for the Qing Dynasty that the Jiang brothers developed the medicine. I am happy for the emperor. Now the emperor can finally have a good night's sleep.

As for Sister Mei, I hope Your Majesty can comfort her more."

The emperor nodded, "Of course!"

After leaving the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, it was already late. Huanbi took out her coat and put it on Zhen Huan. Seeing that she looked unwell, Huanbi supported her and walked slowly forward.

As they walked, she suddenly said, "My lady, don't you think this prescription comes just in time?"

Zhen Huan didn't take it seriously. She thought that the Jiang brothers were great medical experts and it was only a matter of time before they developed a prescription, so she was not surprised.

Huanbi could not tell her memories of her past life. Recalling the situation when she went to see Doctor Wen that day, she said, "I don't know what medicine is written on the prescription. When I went to see Doctor Wen that day, I saw that he had already drafted a preliminary prescription. There were a few medicines that he was not sure about, and he seemed to be considering them."

Zhen Huan suddenly realized, "You mean the Jiang brothers stole Doctor Wen's prescription?"

Huanbi pursed her lips and said, "I have no evidence, but I am confused. How could it be such a coincidence that the prescription was prepared before Eunuch Su announced the decree?"

Zhen Huan smiled knowingly, this is an easy thing to do, just ask Wen Shichu and you will know the answer.

Early the next morning, Huanbi invited Wen Shichu to Suiyuxuan on the pretext of asking about Concubine Hui's health. Since Wen Shichu also received the prescription from Imperial Physician Jiang, he felt strange yesterday. Except for a few stronger medicines, the rest of the ingredients in the prescription were exactly the same as those he developed. But even if he thought of it, he didn't dare to ask. Everyone knows that the Jiang brothers are backed by Concubine Hua.

Now that Huanbi had told him the whole story, Wen Shichu concluded that this prescription was developed by himself. Concubine Hui had gotten better last night. The reason for her slow recovery was that Doctor Wen used mild medicine for fear of damaging the root, while the prescription given by the Jiang brothers was strong. Even if the epidemic was cured, other symptoms would always appear.

Zhen Huan understood what was going on, and sneered at what Hua Fei and the Jiang brothers were doing. She stood up hastily, "I'm going to report this to the Emperor!"

"My lord, you can't do that!"

"Please think twice, young lady!" Huanbi and Wen Shichu advised at the same time.

Wen Shichu said, "Now that we have just obtained the prescription, we have reported it to the emperor. Even if the emperor believes what the young lady said, he cannot directly punish the two of them. If people find out, I am afraid they will say that the young lady is jealous of Concubine Hua and is stealing the credit from Concubine Hua."

"Yes, my lady, Concubine Hua and the Jiang brothers are so insidious this time. Since they have taken the credit, it is better to let them keep it for now. Once the epidemic is over, we can explain this to the emperor. By then, they will be of no use and their guard will be lowered.

Since they are taking advantage of you and Doctor Wen, why don't we fight back and make good use of them?"

Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan listened to Huanbi's words and looked up in surprise at the same time. Is this still the Huanbi they knew before?

Huanbi realized that she had said too much and was almost exposed, so she lowered her head consciously.

"Sister Mei has Lord Lao Wen. When Sister Mei recovers, I will definitely ask the Emperor for credit for Lord."

Wen Shichu smiled, bowed and walked out.
