Concubine Hua withdrew her hand and looked at Doctor Chen with a smile, but this look made Doctor Chen feel a little uneasy.

"If you can heal me well, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver, which will be too little. If you cannot heal me well, I will still reward you with ten thousand taels of silver as your funeral expenses."

Doctor Chen quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I will do my best for Concubine Hua. I wish Concubine Hua will conceive a prince soon."

Seeing that the beating was almost over, Concubine Hua asked, "How is my health? When will I be able to conceive a prince?"

Doctor Chen could only reluctantly start his deceptive mode, "Empress Hua is in perfect health. It's been many years since her miscarriage, so it won't have any impact. As for conceiving a prince, it requires the right time, place, and people, and even more importantly, it requires luck! Some things become harder to obtain the more anxious you are, but sometimes, if you relax, you can get them right away."

Hua Fei frowned. This doctor said something different from other doctors.

She asked, "You mean the mood?"

Doctor Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Yes, Your Majesty, please relax and don't be too anxious."

This immediately fooled Concubine Hua. She stood up excitedly and stared at Doctor Chen.

"You mean, you mean...I can really get pregnant with a prince?"

Doctor Chen bowed tactfully and said, "Her Majesty Hua Fei is blessed with great fortune. We are only waiting for the right time."

Songzhi also hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been in good health since she was young. As long as the time is right, she will definitely give birth to a strong little prince for the emperor."

Concubine Hua was very excited. She felt that timing was important, but human effort was equally important.

Your children must be both literary and martial, smart and capable, and definitely very beautiful.

Concubine Hua happily ordered, "Prepare the best pregnancy-maintaining medicine for me. Money is not a problem. As long as you can take care of my health, I will reward you with ten thousand taels, which is not enough."

Seeing Concubine Hua so excited, Doctor Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad.

But for the sake of his own life and the lives of his family, he had no choice but to cheat against his conscience.

Concubine Hua also ordered someone to send two thousand taels of silver to Doctor Chen's home, and repeatedly reminded him to prepare medicine for her to help her have a pregnancy.

Doctor Chen could only prescribe some medicines that would strengthen the body but would not harm the body, so that he could feel a little better.

Broken Yuxuan

The emperor stayed with An Lingrong for several days in a row, which made everyone in the harem somewhat dissatisfied.

Yixiu sensed something was wrong, so she secretly suggested to the emperor that they go and see someone else.

The emperor did not want to see Concubine Hua at the moment. He suddenly remembered that Zhen Huan was pregnant and he had not visited her yet. So he went to Suiyuxuan in the evening.

Last time, Concubine Hua ordered Zhen Huan to be pushed into a bush of flowers, where she was scratched on the face by the thorns. However, she was found to be pregnant, so the imperial physician did not dare to prescribe any medicine for her. As a result, she was left with scars on her face.

Although Zhen Huan used makeup to cover it up, the emperor still noticed the scar on her face at a glance under the bright candlelight.

In addition, a pregnant woman inevitably looks a little haggard. The emperor felt a little bored and left without saying a few words to Zhen Huan.

After leaving Suiyuxuan, the emperor went to the Yanx Palace, but remembering Yixiu's advice, he went to Chunchang this time.

Concubine Fucha's belly was already very big, but because she had previously taken advantage of her pregnancy to deliberately cause trouble, she aroused the emperor's dislike and was kept under house arrest in the palace by the emperor.

A few days ago, An Lingrong was in favor, which made Fu Cha Guiren very angry.

Today, the Emperor went to Chun Chang's place. Noble Lady Fucha saw An Lingrong walking in the courtyard and hurried out, saying sarcastically, "The Emperor came to the Yanxi Palace again today. I thought my sister was sleeping with him again, but I didn't expect the Emperor to go to Chun Chang's place."

After spending some time together, An Lingrong has already regarded Chun Changzai as a close sister and will not be jealous about such things.

What's more, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he is not alone. He can favor whoever he wants.

An Lingrong didn't want to pay any attention to Noble Lady Fucha, so she said calmly, "It's the Emperor's right to favor whomever he chooses. If you have time to be sour on me, you might as well think about how to attract the Emperor's attention! After all, when the Emperor comes to the Yanxi Palace, he either comes to see me or to see Concubine Chun. This Noble Lady is pregnant, and the Emperor doesn't seem to care!"

Noble Lady Fucha did not irritate An Lingrong at all, but instead made herself angry.

She asked the people around her to serve her and returned to her room, angrily cursing: "What is she so proud of? Isn't it just relying on some seductive tricks to please the emperor? When I give birth to the child, I will make her suffer."

The palace maid serving Noble Lady Fucha hurriedly advised her not to get angry. After all, she was pregnant with the heir of the emperor, and it would be bad to hurt the child.

Zhen Huan injured her face, and although she didn't care much about it, Shen Meizhuang still asked the imperial physician to see Zhen Huan after hearing about it.

Unexpectedly, after Caiyue came back, she said to her: "Your Majesty, Doctor Wen is not in the Imperial Hospital. I had no choice but to ask Doctor Wen to come."

Shen Meizhuang raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "But Wen Shichu, Doctor Wen is married?"

Cai Yue nodded and said, "That's what the imperial doctors in the hospital all said. I heard that it was the Empress who arranged the marriage. I'm afraid that Imperial Doctor Wen Shichu won't come to the Imperial Hospital for a while."

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang felt empty inside for some reason.

She could only force a smile and said, "That's truly a happy occasion! Let's go back and pick some things out and give them to Doctor Wen as gifts. It will also be a token of his gratitude for the care he showed Concubine Wan."

Zhen Huan also noticed that Shen Meizhuang was a little emotional, but she thought she was worried about the wound on her face, so she took Shen Meizhuang's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Mei, don't worry, Wen Shichu's medical skills are all inherited from his father."

She rolled her eyes and said playfully, "There's no way that my father can't do it, but my son can."

Shen Meizhuang was amused by her. She raised her hand and hooked Zhen Huan's chin, saying, "You, you are already a mother, but you still like to joke around."

Doctor Wen has always been cautious. Although he prescribed a box of ointment for Zhen Huan to reduce scars, the proportions of the ointment were just right to ensure that the medicinal ingredients would not harm the child, but the effect was not that good.

After hearing Doctor Wen's explanation, Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wen. It's not easy for me to prepare this ointment now that I'm pregnant. I heard that Doctor Wen Shichu is very happy about his wedding. Doctor Wen saved my life back then, so I must send him a gift to celebrate this wedding. Jinxi, go and get the jewelry that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave me."

Doctor Wen repeatedly declined, but Zhen Huan said that the specifications of this set of jewelry were in accordance with the regulations.

The Wen family and the Zhen family are old friends. He thought that since his son was already married, there was nothing to worry about, so he accepted the gift.
