Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Chapter 186 Concubine Yi Hua's Illness

When the emperor heard Alina say that Concubine Yihua became so ill after visiting Concubine Ye Shufei's palace, the emperor's face instantly turned gloomy. He looked at Alina sharply and asked, "Is there any evidence that Concubine Yihua contracted the disease in Concubine Ye Shufei's palace?"

Alina was so scared that she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "I just vaguely remember that it seemed to have started from that day, but there is no solid evidence." The emperor snorted coldly, "You are just making unwarranted speculations based on your own opinion and stirring up trouble between the concubines. Do you know your crime?" Alina trembled all over. "I know my crime, and I will never dare to do it again."

"Your Majesty, it's not Alina's fault. I also think that I started to get sick after that time I went to Concubine Ye Shufei's palace." Aida said while protecting Alina.

The emperor looked at Ayiduo, with a flash of heartache in his eyes, but more of anger. He turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Pass on my order, order the imperial physician to treat Concubine Yihua and make sure to find out the cause of her illness. In addition, confine Concubine Ye Shu to the palace and she is not allowed to step out of the palace without my permission." After receiving the order, the eunuch hurried away.

Aida was shocked. She didn't expect the emperor to deal with Concubine Ye Shu so quickly.

Soon, the imperial physician arrived at Concubine Yi Hua's bedroom. After carefully diagnosing Concubine Yi Hua, the imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, your illness is caused by acclimatization."

The emperor frowned and said in a deep voice: "How could it be acclimatization? Concubine Yihua has been in the palace for some time and has never had such symptoms." A trace of doubt and worry flashed in his eyes, and he was not satisfied with the result.

The imperial physician kowtowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am sure that the queen is suffering from acclimatization. It may be due to recent changes in diet or environment that have caused physical discomfort." The emperor still had doubts, but he could only accept the imperial physician's diagnosis.

"How to treat it?" asked the emperor, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"If there are specialties from your hometown, or local water and soil, it can alleviate the symptoms." The imperial physician said. He knew very well that the emperor loved Concubine Yihua, and he dared not neglect her in the slightest.

"The Turks are thousands of miles away from the capital, and these cannot be obtained in the short term!" The emperor frowned, looking very worried.

At this moment, Alina, who was standing aside, seemed to suddenly think of something. She took a step forward, looked at the emperor and Concubine Yihua cautiously, and then said with concern: "Princess, since you said that you are unwell because of the unfamiliar climate and water, then I have some specialties brought from my hometown. Maybe they can help you alleviate your current condition." When Concubine Yihua heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked at Alina gratefully and nodded, "Thank you very much, Alina." Alina hurriedly turned around to get the specialties.

At this moment, a noisy sound came from outside the palace, breaking the originally quiet atmosphere. It turned out that after learning that she was under house arrest, Concubine Ye Shu couldn't wait to come to explain to the emperor. She rushed in with a face full of grievances, looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, and cried: "Your Majesty, I am really wronged! I have no grudges against Concubine Yihua, how could I harm her?"

The emperor looked at her with complicated eyes, "The imperial physician has just diagnosed that the cause of the disease is due to acclimatization. It has nothing to do with you. The confinement is lifted. It is inappropriate to yell like this."

After hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Ye Shu stopped crying, thanked him and left. Ayiduo looked at her leaving figure, thinking.

Alina brought some specialties, and after Concubine Yihua took them, her condition really improved. The emperor was relieved when he saw this.

However, the story did not end there. Concubine Yihua began to have frequent nightmares and was awakened by nightmares every night. She always dreamed that she was in a foreign land, lonely and helpless. The emperor decided to send people to Turks to find a way to cure nightmares.

At the same time, the struggle in the harem became more and more intense. Ayiduo realized that the palace was full of countless conspiracies and calculations, and she had to deal with them carefully.

Ayiduo decided to investigate the truth of her nightmare. She began to pay attention to the people and things around her, trying to find possible clues. One night, when she was awakened by a nightmare again, she suddenly found that there seemed to be a figure flashing in the room. She sat up alertly, but saw nothing.

The next day, Ayiduo told the emperor about this. The emperor frowned and thought it was a bit strange. He told Ayiduo to be more careful and arranged more guards to protect her.

As time went by, Ayiduo's nightmares became more and more serious. Every night, she fought with the terrible monster in her dreams, and her body and mind were exhausted. At the same time, her physical condition gradually deteriorated, her face was as pale as paper, and her mental state plummeted, as if she had lost the vitality of life.

The imperial doctors were helpless and felt extremely anxious as Ayiduo's condition became increasingly serious. The emperor was extremely worried and stayed by Concubine Yihua's side every day, hoping to find a solution to the problem. However, no matter how hard he tried, he failed to achieve any significant results.

In desperation, the emperor had to post an imperial decree to recruit doctors who could cure nightmares. Many doctors came to answer the call, but none of them could solve Ayiduo's problem. Just when everyone was in despair, a mysterious figure quietly appeared in the palace.

This man's name is Gao Mi, and he claims to be an expert in medicine and divination. After hearing about Ayiduo's illness, he took the initiative to ask for an audience with the emperor, expressing his willingness to help Concubine Yihua cure her nightmare.

The emperor was full of doubts about Gao Mi's identity, but looking at Aida dying on the sickbed, he finally decided to give Gao Mi a chance.

Gao Mi came to Yi Huafei's bedroom and carefully observed her symptoms. After careful consideration, he gave some incredible suggestions. He asked Yi Huafei to take a special medicine every day, which was made of rare herbs and had the effect of calming the mind. In addition, he asked Yi Huafei to perform some strange rituals.

At first, Concubine Yihua was skeptical about Gao Mi's advice, but with the emperor's encouragement, she decided to give it a try. Following Gao Mi's instructions, she began to take that special medicine every day and completed those rituals carefully. Over time, her nightmares gradually eased and her physical condition improved significantly.

Concubine Yihua was puzzled by these suggestions, but she followed them anyway. After a period of treatment, her nightmares actually gradually disappeared. The emperor was very surprised and praised Gao Mi's medical skills.

However, Ayiduo always felt that things were not simple. She secretly investigated Gao Mi's background and found that he seemed to have close ties with a certain force in the harem. This discovery shocked Ayiduo, and she began to wonder if all this was a carefully planned conspiracy...
