The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

Shen Yiran's face was filled with worry, her eyes were filled with anxiety, and her voice unconsciously rose a few notches. She asked anxiously, "Madam, where did you get this fragrance from?"

The Imperial Concubine was a little confused, not understanding why Ran Ran suddenly asked so eagerly about the source of the fragrance, but she still said truthfully: "This is a gift from the Queen. I like the smell very much, and I sleep better after smelling it."

Shen Yiran asked again: "Empress, how long have you been using this incense? How do you feel recently?" After she said that, a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes. She secretly guessed in her heart that if this poisonous incense has been used for a long time, the Empress's body must have suffered considerable damage.

After a brief thought, the Imperial Concubine said, "It's been more than a month. Recently, I have often felt tired and not as energetic as before."

Shen Yiran said anxiously: "My lady, I know a little bit about medicine, I can take your pulse and see what's going on."

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The Imperial Concubine was a close friend of the original owner's mother, and she couldn't ignore this matter. Although she had watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, this real-life version still made her feel a little scared.

The Imperial Concubine nodded slightly, responded softly, and then slowly stretched out her slender wrist.

After Shen Yiran carefully felt her pulse, her face became more serious and she said, "My lady, you have indeed been poisoned."

When the Imperial Concubine heard this, her face turned pale instantly, her eyes widened, her lips trembled slightly, and she said in panic: "What? I was poisoned? What should I do?"

Her heart was filled with panic and her thoughts were in a mess. She believed that she was a kind person who never fought or competed with others. Could it be that because of her peaceful nature, she could not escape the persecution of the queen?

Is there really no peace and true love in this harem? At this moment, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her eyes were filled with fear.

Seeing her so flustered, Shen Yiran hurriedly comforted her, "Don't panic, madam. This poison is called 'Dream Residual Fragrance Poison'. This poison is extremely toxic and will slowly corrode the human body. If it is not detoxified immediately, the consequences are unpredictable.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and you will not come into contact with this incense again in the future. I will give you a sachet and ask you to take a few doses of medicine, and the poison will be eliminated.

After hearing this, the Imperial Concubine calmed down a little, grabbed her hand, and said, "Ran Ran, this time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died here."

Shen Yiran quickly leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what is the relationship between you and the Queen?" As soon as she said this, Lan'er suddenly felt that she had crossed the line, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please don't blame me. It's just because you are my mother's best friend. I was anxious and didn't want you to get into trouble, so I lost my sense of propriety."

The Imperial Concubine sighed softly and said, "Ran Ran, don't blame yourself. This palace and the Queen... Alas, it's just a superficial peace."

The imperial concubine's maternal family was relatively mediocre, but she and the emperor were childhood sweethearts and had a deep affection for each other, so she was deeply favored by the emperor. The queen was jealous because if the imperial concubine's eldest son had not unfortunately died, how could the position of crown prince have been passed to Yu Gongchen?

While everyone was not paying attention, Shen Yiran used his mind to summon a sachet from space. This sachet exuded a faint fragrance, which not only had the effect of detoxification, but also could calm the mind.

She gently placed the sachet in the Imperial Concubine's hand and soothed her: "Your Majesty, if you wear this sachet, it will help you relieve toxins and also calm your mind."

The Imperial Concubine took the sachet, her eyes full of gratitude: "Ran Ran, you are so troublesome, I really don't know how to repay you."

Shen Yiran smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. As long as Your Majesty is well, that is my greatest wish."

After saying this, she paused for a moment and then continued, "My lady, I will write you a prescription.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine quickly ordered, "Madame Li, go get some writing brush and ink."

Nanny Li responded and quickly prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Shen Yiran picked up the pen and dipped it in ink. After a little thought, he wrote down the name and dosage of the medicinal materials on the paper. Although his movements were still a little stiff, the handwriting was still passable.

After writing, she handed the prescription to Madam Li and said, "Madam, follow this prescription and take it every day. In a few days, the queen's health will definitely improve."

Nanny Li took the prescription and carefully put it away. The Imperial Concubine looked at Shen Yiran and said with emotion: "Ranran, I am lucky to have your help."

Shen Yiran bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I hope you will recover soon."

The imperial concubine finally had time to look at the prince who came with her. Looking at him, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past. She thought of her own prince who had passed away young, and her heart was filled with sadness, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Thinking back to the day her eldest son was born, she gave birth to him on the way back to her parents' home to attend a funeral before her due date. He was weak since childhood, and even though she took good care of him, he died before he was two years old.

Whenever she recalled this, the imperial concubine's heart felt like it was being cut by countless sharp blades, and she felt excruciating pain.

The child's lovely appearance when he was alive seemed to still be in front of her eyes, and his clear laughter seemed to still echo in her ears, but now he is separated from her by the Yin and Yang. The imperial concubine held back her tears, took a deep breath, and tried not to let the sadness completely consume her.

She tried her best to suppress her emotions, and pulled herself together, and asked with concern, "My Lord, I heard that you have been in poor health. Are you feeling better now?"

The prince replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, my lady. I am fine now."

The Imperial Concubine nodded gently, her eyes full of pity: "That's good, but you must take good care of yourself and don't neglect your body."

Ren Jingzhi hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind and will not slack off in the slightest." The Imperial Concubine raised her hand slightly, motioning the prince to excuse himself from the salute, and then she sighed softly, her expression unable to conceal her loneliness.

Shen Yiran didn't know where her loneliness came from, but she didn't ask. She just reminded her: "Pretend to be unwell in the future. If the maid from the Queen's Palace comes to visit, you must pretend to light the poisonous incense."

The Imperial Concubine nodded slightly, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "I understand, and I will not let that vicious woman succeed in her evil plan."

Shen Yiran continued, "My lady, if you feel unwell, please ask Nanny Li to go to Huaxi Garden in the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me. I will definitely try my best to help you."

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard, and then a young man walked in. He said with a smile: "What wind blows the prince to your mother's place today? You haven't gone out for several years. It's true that things are different now that you have a wife." After saying that, he gave Ren Jingzhi a teasing smile.

The man was wearing a purple brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns, a white jade belt around his waist, and a transparent jade pendant. He had sharp eyebrows and deep features, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were slightly upturned, with a bit of evil charm.

There was always a faint smile on his lips, which made him look wild and unruly. He held a folding fan in his hand and fanned himself from time to time.

Shen Yiran couldn't guess his identity for a moment. The fact that he could tease someone with an icy face like this proved that they had a close relationship.
