Jianqiu glanced around, making sure no one was behind her before she bent down slightly and whispered in Yixiu's ear:

"Imperial Doctor Wen discovered the truth behind the instability of Concubine Fucha and Concubine Wan's dragon fetuses. The two ladies must have taken some medication before going to Yikun Palace. Furthermore, once musk is added to the medication, its efficacy will be greatly enhanced."

Yixiu nodded in sudden realization. So that's it.

I had always been curious about what method the emperor used to make two people get into trouble at the same time with Concubine Hua, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Yixiu's eyes rolled, and a bold plan suddenly came to her mind.

"Find a way to tell Doctor Wen and be sure to leave some evidence. It will be of great use to me in the future."

Although Jianqiu didn't know what Yixiu meant by "very useful", she still nodded obediently.

There was a faint smile on Yixiu's face. If this matter were to be known by others, the emperor would be truly ruined.

The ministers of the previous dynasty, the royal clan leaders, and even the concubines in the harem, I'm afraid they all hate the emperor!

.........

Broken Yuxuan

After giving birth, Zhen Huan was in excruciating pain every day. She lay in bed almost every day and refused to speak.

At first, I could still eat and take medicine, but later I felt tired even when eating and taking medicine.

Zhen Huan's condition scared Liu Zhu and Cui Jinxi, who served Zhen Huan, and Shen Meizhuang, who came to visit her every day, became more and more worried.

Although Zhen Huan lost her child, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau would come to see her every few days, but Zhen Huan's condition became worse.

The imperial physician who treated Zhen Huan was just an ordinary one. Shen Meizhuang initially thought that the imperial physician was not attentive because she did not give him any reward, but even after she gave him a reward, the imperial physician still shook his head helplessly.

"Empress Hui, this herb can cure physical ailments, but it can't heal those of the heart. Ever since Concubine Wan had her miscarriage, she's been heartbroken. Even if a Daluo immortal were alive, it would be useless!"

Shen Meizhuang wanted to change the imperial physician, and she suddenly thought of the imperial physician Wen who had previously treated Zhen Huan for the epidemic.

But when she sent for Doctor Wen, Caiyue came back angrily and said:

"They say doctors have a kind heart, but how come the Imperial Hospital has become so snobbish? Concubine Wan lost her child, and those people didn't even bother to look at her, saying that the imperial doctors were treating Concubine Fucha. What kind of people are they?"

The world is cruel and people are cruel. Shen Meizhuang has long been aware of the fickleness of the people in the harem, but looking at Zhen Huan's increasingly haggard face, she could only shamelessly go to the Imperial Hospital in person.

Coincidentally, when Shen Meizhuang went to the Imperial Hospital for the first time, she met Wen Shichu who had just finished his honeymoon vacation.

Imperial Physician Wen wanted to completely break up with his son and Concubine Wan, so he deliberately concealed the fact that Zhen Huan had a miscarriage.

Wen Shichu was a little surprised to see Shen Meizhuang. He bowed to Shen Meizhuang and asked, "Your humble servant pays respects to Concubine Hui. Why is Concubine Hui here?"

Shen Meizhuang thought that Wen Shichu was just like those snobs in the Imperial Hospital. Seeing that Zhen Huan had lost her child and favor, he became cold towards her.

Therefore, he looked at Wen Shichu with some disappointment.

But she did not forget that she came here today not to cause trouble for anyone, but to ask the imperial physician to go back.

Shen Meizhuang gave Caiyue a wink, and Caiyue immediately took out a thick stack of silver bills.

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "Although Noble Lady Fucha needs help, there are so many imperial physicians in the palace, so taking a moment out of their busy schedule shouldn't be a big deal. I also hope that Imperial Physician Wen can remember our past friendship and visit Noble Lady Wan."

After hearing Zhen Huan's name, Wen Shichu was startled. He asked anxiously, "Empress Hui, what happened to Concubine Wan?"

Shen Meizhuang saw that the expression on his face was not fake, and she was a little confused. "Concubine Wan had a miscarriage, didn't you know?"

Wen Shichu was horrified. He wished he could grow a pair of wings immediately and fly to Suiyuxuan to see what happened to Zhen Huan.

"What? How could this happen? Why didn't I know? How is the noble lady now? Madam Hui, please wait here for a moment. I will go get the medicine box right away."

Before Shen Meizhuang had time to talk to him, Wen Shichu rushed into the inner room to get the medicine box.

Wen Shichu felt extremely guilty along the way. If he hadn't gone back to get married and didn't know what was going on in the palace, he would have come to visit Sister Huan early.

At this moment, he felt a little resentful towards his father. It must be that his father had concealed the situation of his sister Huan.

I have already married according to his request, so why does my father still force me like this?

He just wants to protect the one he loves, is it so difficult?

Shen Meizhuang was very moved when she saw Wen Shichu was so anxious, but she wondered if Wen Shichu was too concerned about Huan'er?

If they were just old friends, they would at most be anxious when they heard such news, but looking at Doctor Wen's expression, his reaction was a bit too much.

Also, although Wen Shichu went on his wedding leave, his father continued to serve in the palace.

But when I asked Cai Xing and Cai Yue to invite Doctor Wen before, he always avoided me. It was okay once or twice, but if it happened too many times, it was obvious that he didn't want to come.

Shen Meizhuang came in a sedan chair, and Wen Shichu, as the imperial physician, naturally had to follow behind.

Shen Meizhuang glanced back at Wen Shichu, only to find that Wen Shichu was about to run away.

Her heart trembled. Could it be that Wen Shichu had some inappropriate feelings for Huan'er?

Once this thought came to her mind, Shen Meizhuang suddenly felt that all the previous behaviors of Doctor Wen and his father became normal.

But Huan'er is the emperor's woman. If the emperor knew about this, her family would be destroyed and her property would be confiscated.

Shen Meizhuang was struggling for a long time, and finally arrived at Shuiyuxuan. When Wen Shichu was about to rush in, Shen Meizhuang stopped him.

"Doctor Wen, please excuse me for a moment."

Doctor Wen followed Shen Meiyu to the edge of the flowers, and Cai Xing and Cai Yue stood guard beside them.

Shen Meizhuang hinted, "Everything in the harem belongs to the emperor. Even a dead branch or a withered leaf, no matter how much others like it, cannot touch it. Otherwise, it will be a crime of confiscating the property and exterminating the clan."

She was afraid that Doctor Wen might not understand her, so she continued, "Sometimes, if you like a flower, you don't have to pluck it. You can just watch over it from a distance. Just like this bunch of flowers, if you pluck them and put them in a vase, they may look bright, but they are already doomed to die. On the other hand, if you let them grow in this bush and take good care of them, they will bloom beautifully every year."

Doctor Wen had long understood the deeper meaning in Shen Meiyu's words. Although he had long known that there was no possibility for him and Zhen Huan anymore, he still couldn't help feeling sad.

Wen Shichu suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, "Your humble servant knows. I just want to be the one who protects this flower. I dare not ask for anything else."
