Chapter 173 Beware
"Your Majesty, it was indeed Imperial Physician Wen Shichu who treated Concubine Wan."
Su Peisheng, who noticed the emperor's abnormality, told the truth cautiously.
When Concubine Rouze met with officials from various places, the emperor seemed to be equally dissatisfied.
It wasn't long before the young steward was replaced by an elderly man.
The emperor hadn't made any move yet, Chun'er advised anxiously.
"Your Majesty, the dragon fetus is the most important. Since Sister Wan is not feeling well, I will not keep you here."
Zhen Huan is the emperor's favorite, and her dragon fetus is what the emperor has been looking forward to.
Fang Jiachun would not be so tactless as to stop the emperor.
Her magnanimity impressed the emperor.
"I remember that Chun'er, you often went to Suiyuxuan to eat cakes. Would you like to come with me?"
"I thank the emperor for his kindness, but the imperial physician has instructed me not to be exposed to the wind."
When the emperor comes to Zhongcui Palace, the servants in the palace who are used to changing their attitude according to the situation will not bully them too much.
Chun'er, who successfully kept her share of the allowance, did not want the emperor to stay for long.
The emperor, who was still thinking about Zhen Huan, was no longer interested in this matter. He just praised her casually and then stepped onto the dragon chariot.
"My Lord, are you okay?"
Xiangyun looked at the pale-faced Fang Jiachunyi with concern.
"I'm fine. The weather's getting cold, and I want to eat some cabbage and tofu hotpot. Xiangyun, go make one."
Just now, the emperor patted her hand before leaving, and she forced herself not to shake off the warm palm.
Biyun silently brought a basin of water and helped the young lady wash her hands.
In the main hall of Suiyuxuan, Zhen Huan was discussing with Wen Shichu the powder that had driven the cat crazy last time when they heard a shrill shout.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Zhen Huan looked towards the door in disbelief, and then a smile appeared on her face.
"Aunt Jinxi, please help me go and welcome the emperor!"
Wen Shichu stepped aside dejectedly.
Huan'er is favored and pregnant, he should be happy for her.
But the corners of his mouth just couldn't be raised.
The emperor pulled Zhen Huan to sit on the couch. His eyes were fixed on the person kneeling on the ground to pay his respects. His aggressive eyes seemed to penetrate the person.
After a while, he spoke majestically.
"Wen Shichu, how is Wanpin's dragon fetus?"
Wen Shichu, with sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath and tried to make his voice calmer.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan has not recovered from her last shock. I will prescribe some more medicine to maintain the pregnancy."
The emperor's brows were furrowed, his voice filled with displeasure: "Not fully recovered yet? What use do I have for your Imperial Hospital?"
"Su Peisheng, go and ask the judge to come over and show it to Wanpin."
The emperor's obvious disdain made Wen Shichu's face turn pale and blue.
He quickly lowered his head and apologized in a panic.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will do my best to help you with your pregnancy."
If the emperor blames the entire Imperial Hospital for his affairs, he will most likely be excluded by the entire Imperial Hospital.
Zhen Huan had obviously thought of this as well, and she apologetically shook the emperor's hot hand.
"Your Majesty, it is my poor health that has troubled you."
"My last miscarriage damaged my vitality, and I've been taking medicine to maintain my health."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to make such a fuss."
Since she entered the palace, Wen Shichu has helped her many times, both openly and secretly. This time, she must rely on him to protect the fetus.
"Since Wanpin pleads for you, I will forgive you this time."
The emperor uttered in a low and stern voice.
"I entrust Wanpin's baby to you. If anything goes wrong, you should carefully consider the consequences."
He thought in his heart that the young and inexperienced imperial physician was unreliable, and was thinking of finding time to meet the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
After Wen Shichu left, the emperor asked casually.
"I've seen Doctor Wen enter the palace for several years. Has he started a family?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Doctor Wen is so absorbed in medicine that he seems to have no interest in getting married."
The emperor can find out all these things, so there is no need for Zhen Huan to hide them.
I'm just a little curious why the emperor is interested in Wen Shichu?
Su Peisheng, who was standing by the door, nodded imperceptibly. This was exactly the same as the information he had found out.
Seeing Zhen Huan's frank response, the emperor didn't want to keep harping on it, so he changed the subject.
"Does Huan'er have any sisters at home?"
"I have a younger sister at home, about ten years younger than me, and she's at the age where she's very active and lively."
Yuyao was only seven years old when she entered the palace. Her mother said that Yuyao had not seen her elder sister for several days and she cried a lot.
Zhen Huan thought of her younger sister whom she had loved for many years, and unconsciously told the emperor some interesting stories about her family.
After dinner, Zhen Huan asked the emperor to move to the east side palace on the grounds that she was pregnant and could not sleep with him.
"Huan'er, no wonder He Changzai is doing this for you."
The emperor left these words and headed straight for the east side hall.
"Aunt Jinxi, what do you think the emperor means?"
There seemed to be some emotion in the emperor's words.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. The Emperor is saying that you should be lenient with Concubine He."
What Cui Jinxi was thinking in her heart was that Huanbi must have done something behind her master's back.
Once she has found out the truth, she will present it to her master.
Before Cui Jinxi could send anyone to investigate, the master and servant, who had come to pay their respects the next day, were spotted by Concubine Hua, who seemed to be smiling.
"Wanpin is really good at this. She managed to invite the emperor, who was going to stay at Zhongcui Palace, to Suiyuxuan."
"It's just a dragon baby, isn't it enough to be so hypocritical all those days?"
Although the emperor had lunch several times in Yonghe Palace, everyone in the palace knew that he stayed in the main hall of Suiyuxuan at night.
This is also the reason why the Queen wants to annoy Zhen Huan.
As soon as Concubine Hua started moving, the others cast unfriendly glances at Zhen Huan's lower abdomen.
There were also people who glanced at Chun Guiren and Rou Da Ying several times with a look of disappointment, and it was obvious that they were making fun of them.
The short half-hour greeting made Zhen Huan feel very uncomfortable.
After finally waiting for the greetings to be over, she fled from Jingren Palace.
"Aunt Jinxi, could you please check if He Changzai left Suiyuxuan yesterday afternoon?"
Before paying her respects, Zhen Huan had always thought that the emperor would come to Sui Yuxuan because he valued her.
Unexpectedly, there was an inside story that she didn't know.
There are only two masters in Suiyuxuan. Huanbi has a history of acting on her own, and Zhen Huan guessed that it was Huanbi who intercepted the favor.
Liu Zhu, who was supporting Zhen Huan, said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I ran into Concubine He in the courtyard yesterday before I went to the Imperial Hospital."
"Liu Zhu, do you mean Huanbi knows that I asked you to invite Doctor Wen?"
Zhen Huan immediately grasped the key point.
Liu Zhu knelt heavily on the ground and said, "My Lady, this is all my fault. Please punish me."
The soft-hearted Liu Zhu really didn't expect that Huanbi would be so bold as to use this incident to go to Zhongcui Palace to intercept the favor.
"Your Majesty, this isn't Liu Zhu's fault. She's thinking of the friendship she's had with He Changzai over the years, so it's only natural for her to be less defensive towards him."
"He Changzai is acting beyond measure. Please, Your Majesty, do not be lenient."
Cui Jinxi had finally caught Huanbi's handle, so how could she let her master let her go so easily?
"My Lady, a thousand-mile dam can be destroyed by an ant hole. You must not be soft-hearted again."
Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu had considered that only people close to them could sprinkle the powder on them.
Bai Wei reported last night that she saw Huanbi shaking her handkerchief several times before the cat slave attacked.
"Aunt Jinxi, this isn't the place we agreed to be. Let's go back and discuss this."
The combination of these two things forced Zhen Huan to be wary of Huanbi.
