The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, a trace of thought in her eyes, and slowly said: "You, child, are quite capable. In your opinion, what medicines should be used to treat it?"

Shen Tangan replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, I think you can use Chinese angelica, white peony root, cooked rehmannia and other medicines to nourish the blood. These medicines are mild in nature and can effectively replenish the body's qi and blood. Then add bupleurum, cyperus, etc. to soothe the liver and regulate qi. In this way, it can regulate qi and blood, and relieve the liver depression caused by excessive worry. However, the specific use of medicines still needs to be carefully considered by the imperial doctors. I only put forward some superficial opinions based on the pulse, and I dare not make a rash decision."

After all, we can't be too sure, everything still has to be based on the Imperial Medical Bureau.

She also didn't believe that the empress dowager would trust her 100%. She was afraid that even if she prescribed a prescription, the empress dowager would ask the imperial physician to come and make the decision after she left.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled, with a hint of relief and appreciation in her smile.

She sat up straighter, looked at Shen Tangan with gentle eyes, and spoke slowly.

“I didn’t expect you to have such abilities. I thought you were just clever and lovable, but I never thought you were also proficient in medicine and your medical skills were so superb.

When you were taking my pulse just now, you were so focused and calm, showing the demeanor of a great man."

"My medical skills are naturally not as good as those of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital. I just said a few more words because I saw that the Empress Dowager looked unhappy. The Empress Dowager should still follow the prescriptions of the imperial doctors in the palace. After all, they know the Empress Dowager's body best and will have a more comprehensive view than I do."

Shen Tangan lowered her head very modestly. How could she dare to accept the empress dowager's praise?

She needs to keep a low profile when she is outside, as she doesn't want to expose her superb medical skills and be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, with more admiration in her eyes. "You are so humble, child. It is rare. However, since you have such medical skills, if there is a chance in the future, you can do your best to help me with my illness."

Shen Tangan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am a humbled doctor, and I dare not take on this important task. The imperial doctors in the palace are highly skilled and can treat you and everyone else. I am extremely frightened to have the courage to examine you today, and I hope you will recover soon."

The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Never mind, it's rare that you have this kind of heart. I am very pleased to have had a conversation with you today. You can go back first, and I will talk to you another day."

He looked up at the nanny beside him and motioned for her to take the wooden box on the table to Shen Tangan.

"This is the reward I give you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Shen Tangan quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude, but he didn't expect there would be a pleasant surprise.

"Princess, this is the pomegranate hairpin given to you by the Queen Mother, which symbolizes many children and good fortune. You will be married to His Royal Highness Prince Chen soon. Does the Queen Mother have any expectations?"

Mammy opened the box and explained to her with a smile.

Shen Tangan's hand paused in mid-air. Even though he was unhappy, he didn't dare to show it. He quickly took it and thanked him again.

What does it mean to have many children and more blessings?

She doesn't want to!

The Queen Mother may not know that she already has a baby in her stomach!

At the Queen Mother's request, the nanny personally escorted her to the palace gate, so that everyone in the palace would know how much the Queen Mother loved her.

"Farewell, Princess."

Shen Tangan nodded in return before leaving with his maid.

Who would have thought that after just one turn, he would meet the prince.

Shen Tangan's heart tightened, but she remained calm. She bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince's eyes slowly moved over Shen Tangan, and then glanced at the wooden box in her hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile. "Did the princess just come out of the Queen Mother's Palace? It seems that the Queen Mother likes the princess very much. This reward must be extremely precious."

Shen Tangan lowered her eyes and replied respectfully, "I am deeply honored to receive your kindness, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. Your Majesty the Queen Mother is kind and only gave me this reward out of consideration for my filial piety. I am truly unworthy of it."

The prince slowly approached, his eyes probing. "You are quite good at pleasing people, to be rewarded by the Imperial Grandmother."

"I don't know what your Highness the Crown Prince means by this."

Shen Tangan's eyes darkened. What did he mean?

Looking for trouble?

The prince looked at her with a half-smile, "My princess, you are too modest. You must have something extraordinary to be recognized by the Empress Dowager. However, since my princess has this talent, how could I not know it before?"

Shen Tangan's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status, and your affairs are not as important as His Highness the Crown Prince's affairs, so why do you have to know?

Moreover, Your Highness, you should be more concerned about your sister. Why do you keep harassing me? I have nothing to do with Your Highness anymore!"

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of deep meaning.

"Your temperament is different from before."

Shen Tangan raised his eyes slightly, his gaze was as cold as snow, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Highness, people always change. Now that I have an engagement with Your Highness Prince Chen, I should be careful in my words and actions and keep a distance from Your Highness. I know my status very well and dare not do anything presumptuous."

The prince raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, but his eyes were filled with a hint of complicated emotions. "Oh? It seems that you have a deep relationship with Prince Chen. However, the situation in the palace is changing rapidly. Do you think that a marriage contract alone can keep you safe? The storms in the palace are not as simple as you think."

Shen Tangan's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly alert in her heart. She straightened her back slightly and replied calmly: "I dare not ask for peace and stability, but only for a clear conscience. The engagement between me and His Royal Highness Prince Chen was granted by His Majesty, and I should cherish it. As for how the situation in the palace changes, I have no power to influence it, and I can only do my part. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do, I will take my leave."

The prince did not move aside. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Shen Tangan. "Wait a minute. There is one thing I don't understand. If you are proficient in medicine, why didn't you show it before? Is there any hidden purpose? Your performance in the Queen Mother's Palace today really impressed me."

Shen Tangan's heart tightened, but she remained calm. She bowed her head slightly and said respectfully, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I only know a little bit about medicine, and I have never thought of showing it to others. Today, I saw that the Queen Mother was unwell, so I was anxious and dared to speak. I have no ulterior motives, I just want to do my best to relieve the Queen Mother's pain."

The prince was silent for a moment, but the doubt in his eyes had not completely dissipated. Then he waved his hand, with a hint of warning in his tone. "Forget it, go away. However, I hope you remember that in this palace, your every move is under the watchful eyes of others. Be cautious and don't get involved in unnecessary disputes."

Shen Tangan bowed and left quickly. Her mind was full of thoughts. The prince's words were clearly a warning to her. It seemed that the situation in the palace was far more complicated than she had imagined. She had to tell Mu Chenye about what happened today as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures together.
