The Legend of Zhen Huan: Year after year, we share the spring breeze

"Your servant Xia Dongchun pays respects to the emperor." The woman on the scene smiled like a flower.

An Lingrong felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, and the blood in her body froze. Xia Dongchun, the woman who was rewarded with a hundred strokes of the cane as soon as she appeared, her nemesis, actually came out of the cold palace!

"I remember now, your name is very interesting!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Yongzheng walked around the imperial table and helped her up personally. "Are you feeling better now?"

The Queen turned her gaze to Concubine Hua and said, "When Concubine Xia violated palace rules, Sister Hua sent her to recuperate. Now she is well again and can serve the Emperor!"

Hua Fei looked at the emperor's admiring eyes, and a wave of jealousy surged in her heart. She said coldly: "It's really hard for the queen to work so hard!"

Meanwhile, Yongzheng's eyes remained fixed on Xia Dongchun, his eyes gleaming with admiration and curiosity. Xia Dongchun was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a graceful figure and beautiful face, exuding a captivating charm.

When I returned to the Yanx Palace, the East Side Hall was bustling with people, and Xia Dongchun had already moved back.

An Lingrong dragged her exhausted body back to the bedroom. Just as she was about to lie down, Cai Xing came to report, "My lady, Concubine Xia wants to see you."

Forced to cheer up, "Please let her in!"

Xia Changyi bowed as soon as he entered the room and said, "Meet Sister Wen."

"No way, I should be the one calling you sister. Sister, you've recovered, and I should have been the one to go and see you, but unexpectedly, you came first. Caixing, serve the tea quickly." An Lingrong forced a smile and quickly helped her up.

"Then I will take advantage of my age and call you sister. I was ignorant in the past, so please don't take it to heart. Today I am here to apologize!" Xia Dongchun spoke humbly, no longer showing the arrogance of the past.

"Sister, I am ashamed to say so."

"Now that we live in the same palace, we must visit each other often!"

"nature."

After saying a few words, Xia Dongchun returned to the east wing hall.

"My lady, what happened?" asked Feng'er, the personal maid.

Xia Dongchun took a sip of tea and said, "The Empress said she's not an easy person to deal with, but I don't really see that. Let's wait and see. There's no need to rush."

Looking at everything in front of him, Xia Dongchun couldn't help but recall the days he had spent in the cold palace for more than a year.

In the cold palace, not only did they lose their former treatment, but they also lost their freedom of movement. Even the water for washing their faces and the toilet bowl they used every day had to be passed in and out through a small window by the palace maids and eunuchs. Taking a bath was even more of a luxury. The rooms inside were dark and damp, with no sunlight all day long. Living there for a long time would make people depressed and sick.

Compared with the harsh living environment, what is even more unbearable is the torment of loneliness. The people inside are all spoiled and have enjoyed wealth and glory. How can they bear such a thing? Most of them die of depression, and even if they survive by chance, they become crazy.

"I will never go back there again!"

"My lady, our most urgent task now is to please the Queen and regain her favor." Feng'er said as she was dressing Xia Dongchun.

"Of course I understand." Xia Dongchun looked at her beautiful face through the mirror and smiled confidently.

The raw materials of Xiji Pills are musk, ginseng, deer antler and other precious medicinal materials. After preparation, they are stuffed into the navel. After use, they can make the complexion delicate, the skin as smooth as cream, the skin sweet and fragrant, and the youthfulness lasting.

Sure enough, after dusk, Su Peisheng came to her east wing hall.

"My lady, congratulations! The emperor has picked your name and wants you to sleep with him tonight!" Su Peisheng said with a smile on his face.

She felt a surge of joy in her heart, but she still tried to remain calm and thanked Su Peisheng with a smile: "Thank you for your help, eunuch."

In the west wing hall, after Xia Dongchun left, An Lingrong took a deep breath and felt a little flustered.

She knew that her appearance had changed the course of the plot, and that what followed would become increasingly unpredictable and out of her control. However, no matter what, she decided to do her best to protect those around her, especially Shen Meizhuang.

When the Queen saw that she failed to win her over, she had already started to deal with her. She released Xia Dongchun, who had an old grudge against both her and Concubine Hua, from the cold palace, and tried every means to help her gain the Emperor's favor, just to use her as a pawn against herself.

Just looking at Xia Dongchun now, An Lingrong knew that she must have suffered a lot in the cold palace, which caused her temperament to change drastically. She was willing to damage her body to compete for favor. Her hatred for her had reached the point of life and death.

But An Lingrong still felt a little guilty towards her!

An Lingrong sat quietly in the hall, her body seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible force, her face was pale and her eyes were empty, revealing deep fatigue and helplessness.

After sitting for a while, she stood up and called Caixing to go to Yonghe Palace together.

"Where is my sister?" An Lingrong asked.

Caiyue bowed and said with a smile: "The Queen has gone to the Queen Mother's Palace and has not returned yet!"

"Well, Caixing, help me change my clothes. I'm a little tired."

Caiyue then noticed that An Lingrong's face was pale and her voice was weak. "My lady, I will go and fetch the imperial physician."

An Lingrong stopped her, "No need, wait for Su Ye to come back, I want to lie down for a while."

Caixing deftly helped her remove the hairpins and rings and take off her thick outer clothes, while Caiyue filled the hot water bottle and put it under the quilt.

Lying on Shen Meizhuang's bed and smelling the same scent as hers, An Lingrong felt a little more at ease.

Shen Meizhuang learned the news of Xia Dongchun's restoration to favor in Cining Palace. She became alert and thought of asking An Lingrong to come over to discuss countermeasures after returning to the palace. However, she did not expect to see Caixing standing at the door when she returned to Yonghe Palace.

After asking about what happened today in detail, Shen Meizhuang's face turned ugly.

Caiyue added, "My Lady, the young lady looks pale, as if she is ill!"

Shen Meizhuang didn't ask any more questions and walked into the hall.

After an unknown amount of time, An Lingrong heard light footsteps. She opened her eyes and saw Shen Meizhuang walking into the bedroom.

Shen Meizhuang, with a look of concern on her face, walked to the bedside and held An Lingrong's hand, "Rong'er?"

An Lingrong sat up and responded with a smile, "Sister is back!"

Shen Meizhuang touched her cheek distressedly, "But are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

An Lingrong lay on Shen Meizhuang's legs, facing her stomach and said sullenly, "Sister, I feel uncomfortable everywhere!"

Su Ye hurried forward to take the patient's pulse, and the pulse was very similar to the one he had when he was seriously ill when he first entered the palace.

"My dear, you have insufficient Qi and blood. You are frightened and your heart is palpitating. Fear will damage your liver. The liver governs emotions and stores blood. If your liver blood is insufficient, you will feel nervous, anxious, palpitating, and dizzy."

Shen Meizhuang frowned and said with a puzzled look on her face: "Haven't you been drinking tonic medicine all the time? How can you still be deficient in Qi and blood?"

An Lingrong understood that this was what later generations called neurasthenia.

Su Ye looked at the pale person lying on the bed, her eyes full of self-blame and heartache. She sighed softly: "The young lady is born weak, and it may take more than a few months to recover. This body is like fragile porcelain and needs careful care." As she spoke, she couldn't help shedding tears, and her voice was a little choked.

Cai Xing was also blaming herself, tears falling like beads from a broken string, "It is my fault that I did not take good care of the young master. It is all my fault."
