An Lingrong after rebirth

When Cui Jinxi saw Wen Shichu, her eyes lit up, but dimmed again after a moment, "Doctor Wen is here, my queen has had a miscarriage, and the midwife is cleaning her up inside now!"

"Wen Shichu was completely stunned. He had originally still had some hope in his heart, but when he heard Cui Jinxi's words, he truly regretted it."

It must be that someone claimed that he was not in the palace, so he was so cruel. "Aunt Cui, may I go in and check the pulse of the queen now?"

Cui Jinxi looked back and asked Doctor Wen to wait for a moment. Then she turned around and went in. After waiting for an incense stick of time, Cui Jinxi led the midwife out.

"Doctor Wen, please come in. Miss Liu Zhu is waiting inside." Wen Shichu bowed and walked into the bedroom. However, as soon as he entered, he was a little panicked by the strong smell of blood."

"It's just that the bed was covered by the gauze curtains, so Wen Shichu couldn't see Zhen Huan's appearance. When Liu Zhu saw Wen Shichu coming in, he stood up and said, "Sir Wen."

"Wen Shichu nodded to Liu Zhu and came forward with the medicine box. Liu Zhu held Zhen Huan's hand and placed it on the bed, then took a handkerchief and covered it."

"Doctor Wen raised his hand to check the patient's pulse, but after just a moment, his face turned ugly! Liu Zhu was impatient, and when he saw Doctor Wen's face, he asked anxiously, "Sir Wen, how is my queen?"

"Miss Liu Zhu, don't worry. I wonder if the meal that the queen used today is still there. I need to take a closer look. Liu Zhu said hurriedly, "Please wait a moment, my lord. I will go get it right away."

Liu Zhu ran out right after he finished speaking. There were only two people left in the hall, one kneeling on the ground, and the other one was so tired that he fell asleep.

"When the emperor and his entourage came in, they saw this scene. Yixiu's expression was slightly moved, and she asked, "Doctor Wen, why are you here alone? Where is Concubine Wan's maid?"

"Wen Shichu quickly withdrew his hand, and then he realized how far Liu Zhu had put himself and Zhen Huan in such a state of anxiety."

"He turned around and kowtowed, "In reply to the Queen, I found that Concubine Wan's body was abnormal. It seemed that she had used some medicine that would harm the fetus. Miss Liuzhu went to get the meal that Concubine Wan had used. "

The emperor was worried at the moment and naturally did not notice such details.

But he immediately grasped the question in Wen Shichu's words, "Medicine that harms the fetus, do you mean that someone drugged Concubine Wan?" Your Majesty, Concubine Wan's pulse sounds like she has been treated with cinnamon twigs and blister beetles.

That's why I asked Miss Liu Zhu to get today's meals and medicine! "Guizhi, I know what this blister beetle is?"

"Your Majesty, the blister beetle is used to break up blood and remove blood stasis, disperse nodules and reduce fat. It is also highly toxic and is forbidden for pregnant women. In addition, cinnamon twigs also have the effect of removing moles and reducing blood. If the two are used together, miscarriage is inevitable."

"Wen Shichu's words made the emperor look angry. Why would Wanpin's food contain such a thing? Your Majesty, calm down."

"Everyone was so scared when they saw the emperor getting angry that they knelt on the ground. At this moment, Liu Zhu came in with a food box. When he saw the situation in the hall, he also knelt down in panic."

"The emperor turned his head to look at the food box in Liu Zhu's hand, and immediately ordered Wen Shichu to check whether there is any dirty stuff in the food box."

"Of course, Imperial Doctor Wen would not refuse. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and walked forward. Liu Zhuyi followed suit and took out the contents of the food box one by one and placed them on the table, examining them carefully."

"Wen Shichu asked Wei Lin when he first arrived, and he said that there was no problem with the food. After Wen Shichu checked it, there was no problem either!"

"I frowned and asked, Miss Liuzhu, did Concubine Wan only use these things today? Yes, Lord Awen, my young lady has been eating since she became pregnant. The food she eats is made by the small kitchen. This servant and Aunt Jingxi take turns watching over it. There is absolutely no problem."

"What the girl said is true. There is nothing wrong with these foods and there is nothing wrong with the pregnancy-preserving drugs. That's strange..." Wen Shichu frowned, with a look of doubt in his words.

"Cui Jinxi, who was standing by, looked at Wen Shichu's expression and then her eyes turned as if she remembered something. No, there was one more thing..."

Shen Meizhuang couldn't hold back her anger anymore and hurried over, asking, "What else?"

"Cui Jinxi knelt down and replied to Concubine Xian: There is also a plate of Lingfen fragrant cakes that Concubine Chun brought to my Concubine today. 0"

"I don't know what Shen Meizhuang was thinking of, and she immediately asked: Where is the Xiangling cake?" Liu Zhu hurriedly asked, "I'll go get it right away."

Zhen Huan had a miscarriage, and this Lingfen cake was most likely the only clue. Liu Zhu would naturally not slack off, and came hurriedly within a cup of tea after she heard the news, with a plate in her hands.

"Master Wen, this is the Lingfen Xianggao. Wen Shichu took it and examined it, but his brows furrowed even deeper."

"No matter how he checked, there was nothing wrong with this Linggao Xianggao! It seemed to be just an ordinary cake. Just as he was about to put the cake down, Wen Shichu suddenly uttered a "huh" sound."

"How is it, Master Wen, did you find anything?"

"Wen Shichu did not answer Shen Meizhuang immediately. Instead, he raised the plate in front of his eyes, looked at it for a moment, and then put his nose close to it to smell it."

Then he said, "Miss Liuzhu, can I borrow your handkerchief?" Liuzhu handed over the handkerchief. Wen Shichu gently wiped the edge of the plate with the handkerchief in his hand, then turned back to the handkerchief with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“It turned out to be this thing…”

When the emperor saw that Wen Shichu had made a new discovery, he asked repeatedly, "Wen Shichu, what on earth is this?" But he did not notice that Yixiu beside him had a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Doctor Wen held the handkerchiefs in his hands and said, 'Your Majesty, please look. There is a layer of light yellow powder on these handkerchiefs that is barely noticeable.' The emperor took a look and saw that it was the same as what Wen Shichu said, so he asked, 'What is this?'"

"Your Majesty, this thing is called Broken Jade Incense. It will not cause any harm if used alone. In fact, because of its fragrance, women in the folks use it as perfume powder."

"As soon as Wen Shichu finished speaking, Liu Zhu beside him suddenly spoke up; Lord Wen was talking about the Lingfen fragrant cake that Chun Chang brought to the young lady these days, and as soon as she opened it, she smelled a very strong fragrance."

"My young lady thought that Concubine Chun used some special craftsmanship to make this Lingfenxiang cake, but she didn't expect it to be this?"

"Liu Zhu thought of this, but the emperor grasped the key point of Wen Shichu's words. You said that it's okay to use this thing alone? Then can't it be used with something else?"

"Your Majesty is wise. If this thing is used together with Han Lingxiang, it is equivalent to taking cinnamon twig and blister beetle at the same time. A pregnant woman who is in such an environment will definitely miscarry within five days."

"But I am so stupid that I only found the broken jade incense. I have not found the cold ling incense yet!" Wen Shichu's voice was filled with sorrow, and the emperor was furious after hearing it.

"What a good plan! Su Peisheng brought Chun Changzai up to me! Yixiu stepped back after hearing this. It was really a bad idea."

"I thought Wen Shichu would be back for a day or two after going to the Duke's Mansion, but she happened to come back today, and she found out the truth about Zhen Huan's miscarriage in just a few words."

"It seems that Chun Chang can't stay here any longer. With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Yi Xiu closed his eyes slightly. It's not the worst time yet, so let's wait a little longer!"

"Just as this thought came to mind, Chun Changzai followed Su Peisheng into the palace!"

"Shen Meizhuang now thinks that it was Concubine Chun who was trying to harm Zhen Huan. Seeing that she was still scared, if the Emperor and Empress were not present, she would really want to go up and slap her twice."

But no matter what Shen Meizhuang was thinking, Chun Changzai still looked harmless. She walked up to the emperor and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"The emperor no longer had the patience he usually had for Concubine Chun. He crumpled the handkerchief in his hand and threw it at Concubine Chun's face. He angrily said, "You killed Concubine Wan's child, and you still have the nerve to pay your respects?"

"The handkerchief hit Concubine Chun's face lightly, causing no harm to her, but she seemed to be frightened. She looked up at the emperor blankly, and tears flowed down her cheeks."

Emperor: "I don't know what your Majesty means. I am on good terms with Concubine Wan. How could I possibly harm Sister Wan's child?"

"The Lingfenxiang cake you gave to Wanpin was added with Su Yuxiang. You said you didn't know? Chun Changzai shook her head like a wave drum. Your Majesty, what is Su Yuxiang? I have never heard of it."

"I've never heard of this before. The Ling Fen Xiang Cake you sent has a very strong fragrance as soon as it is opened? Who among the people present here doesn't know the smell of Ling Fen Xiang Cake? If it is an ordinary cake, how can it have such a strong fragrance!"

"Shen Meizhuang at the side couldn't help but shouted angrily. Chun Changzai was frightened by Shen Meizhuang's shouting. Tears kept flowing and she shook her head unconsciously. I didn't, I really didn't..."

It seemed that Chun Changzai could not get any information out of her, so the maid Yu'er stepped forward and knelt down, taking two steps to Chun Changzai's side and said, "Your Majesty, my young mistress does not know what Broken Jade Fragrance is."

"The smell of Lingfenxiang Cake is not the fragrance of broken jade. My mistress knew that Concubine Wan was pregnant and had no appetite, so she sprinkled a layer of camellia powder on the cake."

"This substance is sprinkled on the cakes and baked with heat, and then kept in the food box, so there is a strong fragrance as soon as it is opened. Moreover, camellia powder only increases appetite and has no other harm. Please investigate it clearly, Your Majesty."

Yu'er's words made Chun Changzai react. She rushed in front of the emperor and reached out to grab his trouser legs. "Your Majesty, I saw that Sister Wan had a poor appetite and was worried that she couldn't bear it, so I came up with this idea."

"It was my fault that I didn't explain clearly, but I definitely didn't mean to hurt anyone. When Chun Chang said this, Wen Shichu got a little anxious. He is the imperial physician, and he will be punished if he makes a wrong diagnosis."

"After Concubine Chun finished speaking, Wen Shichu immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, camellia powder is not a medicinal material. I don't know what it looks like, but the fragrance of broken jade incense is pungent when you first smell it, but it will lose its flavor after a while, and it will smell slightly bitter!"

"Your Majesty, can you take a look at the powder on the handkerchief to see if it is the same as what I said! I think what Concubine Chun said, since camellia powder can be used as food, it should not have these characteristics."

"Of course the emperor would not take the maid's handkerchief to smell it. After hearing this, he threw the handkerchief to Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng took the handkerchief, lowered his head and did as he was told. After a moment, he looked up and said, 'The emperor is just as Doctor Wen said.'

"Your Majesty, camellia powder is originally used to make snacks. Its fragrance lasts for a long time and it is not bitter. This is obviously the harmful thing that Doctor Wen mentioned, the broken jade incense."

Shen Meizhuang couldn't hold back and yelled angrily when she heard Su Peisheng's words.

The emperor pinched the jade beads in his hand and said, "Chun Changzai, what else do you have to say? Chun Changzai still looks like she knows nothing."

"Your Majesty, I got this camellia powder from the imperial kitchen. I don't know anything about medicine, so how would I know what broken jade incense is? Please investigate..."

"Chun Changzai cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears and her words were so earnest that the emperor even frowned. Could it be that Chun Changzai really didn't know anything?"

Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is like this, could it be that something went wrong with the servants in the imperial kitchen that caused...

"That must be the case, Your Majesty. I really don't know. Yixiu's words gave Concubine Chun hope, and she immediately spoke up to explain again regardless of anything else!"

"But when I said this, I got a cold look from Yixiu. You idiot, if you are too polite at this time, you will be disliked for nothing."

"She seemed quite clever before and almost extricated herself from this matter. Why is she so stupid now? After all, as long as the emperor investigates the imperial kitchen, Yixiu will have ten thousand ways to find someone to take the blame for Chun Changzai's crime."

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Yixiu's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but speak again, "Your Majesty, I will immediately ask someone to investigate the matter of the imperial kitchen, but I still have a question in my mind? Something puzzled?"

Just say it directly.

"Yi Xiu nodded after hearing this and said, "Doctor Wen, since you said that Broken Jade Incense must be used together with Han Lingxiang to be effective, is it possible that Broken Jade Incense is now used because of the eunuchs in the imperial kitchen who are not doing their job well?"

"Where is Han Lingxiang?" As soon as these words came out, Shen Meizhuang turned her head suddenly. The two of them stared at each other from a distance. Shen Meizhuang was so angry that her teeth were itching."

"Obviously, the matter has not been concluded yet, but how come the Queen said it was the Imperial Kitchen's fault? What is possible? The Queen wants to completely remove Concubine Chun from this matter."

"It was just that Caiyue seemed to know what was in Shen Meizhuang's mind, and she held her sleeve tightly from behind, which prevented Shen Meizhuang from impulsively confronting the Queen immediately"!

"Yi Xiu asked this question, so she was naturally confident that Wen Shichu couldn't find Han Lingxiang. Sure enough, after Yi Xiu asked this question, Wen Shichu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I haven't found Han Lingxiang yet."

"It was just that I guessed it from the broken jade fragrance in my heart, and I didn't find any problems in Concubine Wan's meals, so I thought of this possibility."

"Yi Xiu had a hint of hidden smile on her lips, and she turned around to look at the emperor. The emperor didn't say where the broken jade incense came from. According to Doctor Wen, the cause of Wanpin's miscarriage has not been determined yet. This Han Lingxiang has no ultimate, this..."

"Yi Xiu's words made the emperor silent for a long time, then he waved his hand and said, "Get up!" Chun Changzai stood up with sobs and bowed, supporting Yu'er and standing aside."

"The Emperor asked again, how is Concubine Wan's health? Your Majesty, Concubine Wan just had a miscarriage and her body is very weak. Although this broken jade incense hurt the fetus, it didn't cause any harm to Concubine Wan's body."

"She will be back to normal in half a month. The emperor was greatly relieved after hearing this. The miscarriage is an irreversible fact. Fortunately, Wanpin is fine and will have a child in the future."

"How long will it take for Concubine Wan to wake up? Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is already weak, and this miscarriage is even more so. She needs to sleep for at least half a day."

"The emperor nodded. Queen, you should personally arrange for someone to investigate the matter of the imperial kitchen. Wen Shichu, you should take good care of Concubine Wan's health!"

"Yes!" The two answered in unison. "There is still something else to do in the Yangxin Palace. I will go back first. If Wanpin wakes up, please send someone to inform her."

"After saying this, the emperor did not stay any longer, but turned around and strode away."

"Shen Meizhuang followed the Queen and knelt to see her off respectfully, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves. Is this how she wants to receive the Emperor's favor?"

"Normally, it is said that Zhen Huan is the most favored in the palace, and is not much inferior to Concubine Hua. But today, she suddenly had a miscarriage, and the emperor got up and left without hesitation."

Shen Meizhuang didn't know for a moment whether this so-called favor was true or false.
