Chapter 163 Shen Meizhuang Wen Shichu
Chapter 163 Shen Meizhuang Wen Shichu
It has been a turbulent time recently and the harem is not at peace.
The Queen was under house arrest, Concubine Hua was seriously ill and refused to see anyone, and the Queen Mother was resting and recuperating.
The power to manage the six palaces fell on Concubine Jing.
Although he was busy with many things, he did not forget to take good care of the baby in Concubine Wan's belly.
Hearing that Concubine Wan had been feeling unwell recently, he rushed to Suiyuxuan and summoned the imperial physician to examine her in detail.
"Sister is here?"
Zhen Huan was leaning on the couch. When she saw her come in, she hurried to get up.
Concubine Jing didn't care about these etiquettes. She walked forward and pulled her, "Sister, please sit down. There is no need to be restrained between you and me. I heard that you were not feeling well, so I had to come and check on you to feel at ease."
Although Zhen Huan's complexion was still good, she could vaguely see a sense of paleness and fragility in it.
"It's not a big deal. I just checked my pulse with the imperial physician."
Zhen Huan smiled and looked at Doctor Zhang who was standing beside her.
Seeing that it was Imperial Doctor Zhang, Concubine Jing nodded with satisfaction.
He smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang is also an old man in the Imperial Hospital. Although he has not been in the Imperial Hospital as long as Doctor Zhang, he is also known as a master. I feel relieved that Doctor Zhang is paying attention to me."
Doctor Zhang cupped his hands and bowed his head modestly, "No, no, it is my humble servant's blessing to be able to serve you, my lady."
"How is the baby in Concubine Wan's belly? Is there anything wrong? I noticed that Concubine Wan's complexion is not very good and she seems to be weak." Concubine Jing asked again.
"Your Majesty is right. Queen Wanfei suddenly lost her child. Although her body has recovered now, she is still weak and her body is not properly balanced, which is why she is in such a state of distress."
Doctor Zhang kept his head down and said.
Zhen Huan frowned, then raised her head and asked, "These past few days, I have followed the instructions of the imperial doctors and taken the medicine, but there has been no improvement. What's going on?"
"Medicine is a long-term process, and the Empress is pregnant. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital dare not use many of the tonic herbs rashly. If you want a foolproof plan, you can only improve your diet."
Concubine Jing and Zhen Huan looked at each other, then looked at Doctor Zhang, "How can we improve the diet?"
"Your Highness can eat more fish and meat, less spicy and sweet food, and more tonic food. That's fine."
"In that case, please trouble Doctor Zhang to accompany Jinxi to the side hall and write down the prescription so that it will be convenient for her to remember." Zhen Huan smiled and instructed.
"Of course, of course." Imperial Doctor Zhang bowed and left with Jinxi.
After everyone left, Concubine Jing continued.
"Doctor Zhang is a mature person. Although he is not as good as Doctor Wen, he is a careful person after all. Sister, you can rest assured to take care of him."
Zhen Huan nodded, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come all the way here. There are so many things going on in the harem right now, and you still took the time to come visit me."
As he said this, he felt a little sad.
Even Concubine Jing was concerned about her, but the Emperor never visited her.
Concubine Jing naturally knew the sadness in her words and comforted her.
"You and Concubine Li are now the most important things in the harem. It's a pity that you two are pregnant this time, but it's not peaceful. Sister, don't blame the emperor. There are so many things going on in the court now, and it's normal for the emperor to have no interest in the harem."
"Of course I know." Zhen Huan nodded and stroked the baby in her belly.
There were many things to do in Concubine Jing's palace, so she couldn't stay for long. She just had to get up and leave after chatting for a while.
"Take care of yourself, sister. I have many important things to do in the palace right now, so I can't chat with you for long."
"Sister, don't forget to rest even if you've been working so hard. Liu Zhu will escort Concubine Jing out."
After Zhen Huan gave her instructions, Concubine Jing walked away in a hurry.
After everyone left, Zhen Huan called Huanbi and gave her instructions.
"Take what Imperial Doctor Zhang said and the prescription to Shoukang Palace and give them to Imperial Doctor Wen. Ask him to help take a look and see if there is anything wrong."
"Yes."
……
Shoukang Palace.
"Three qian of lily bulbs, five liang of angelica root, and three liang of Polygonum multiflorum. Cook it as I just said and present it to the Queen Mother later."
Wen Shichu carefully gave instructions to the palace servants in a side hall.
He didn't notice at all that not far away, a pair of tender eyes were staring at his back.
"Your Highness, you didn't sleep well last night, and you came to Shoukang Palace so early today to serve the Queen Mother. Look at your eyes, they are all black and blue."
Caiyue supported Shen Meizhuang, looked at her carefully, and spoke with heartache.
Shen Meizhuang shook her head.
"How can I sleep peacefully in this cold palace? It would be better to come and accompany the Queen Mother earlier, so that I can have some comfort."
Caiyue didn't quite understand the hidden meaning in her queen's words.
He just sighed, "No one can match your majesty's filial piety to the Queen Mother."
Shen Meizhuang didn't say anything, but waited for a while and walked forward.
He happened to meet Wen Shichu who turned around to get medicinal herbs.
When Wen Shi saw her for the first time, he immediately bowed respectfully, "How are you, Concubine Hui?"
"Doctor Wen, you don't have to be so polite." Shen Meizhuang showed a rare smile on her face. She joked, "Doctor Wen's courtesy is the most important thing."
"Your Majesty, you are teasing me. Did you come to see if the Queen Mother's medicine has healed? Next time, I will do these trivial matters. There are too many people in the side hall and I am afraid that I will disturb you."
He is caring and attentive.
The smile on Shen Meizhuang's face deepened. "It's okay. I wanted to take a walk anyway."
Wen Shichu raised his head and finally saw her expression clearly.
"Your Highness, have you not slept well these days?"
Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment, "...Yes."
"Your Majesty's eyes are dark blue and her brows are full of haggardness. I think you must be tired from taking care of the Queen Mother. I will write some prescriptions for calming the nerves later. I would also like to ask Miss Caiyue to take the trouble to boil them for you."
Caiyue bowed and admired Wen Shichu very much.
Shen Meizhuang's heart was moved by his concern.
"You care about me so much, but you don't know that you look very haggard. Doctor Wen should also pay more attention to rest." Shen Meizhuang raised her lips and couldn't help but show concern.
Doctor Wen nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
Seeing that he didn't care about himself so much, Shen Meizhuang wanted to say something.
But at this moment, a voice called out, "Master Wen, there is a girl named Huanbi who wants to see you."
Seeing that it was Zhen Huan's people, Wen Shichu immediately became a little anxious, probably because he was worried that something had happened to Zhen Huan.
He immediately bowed to Shen Meizhuang and said, "Your Majesty, I will withdraw first."
