Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

After Shen Meizhuang returned to her bedroom, she developed a high fever. Caiyue hurried to the Imperial Hospital to ask for a physician for Shen Meizhuang.

It happened that Wen Shichu was on duty today. After hearing about Shen Meiyu's situation, he thought of the relationship between Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan, so he brought a medicine box to Xianfu Palace to treat Shen Meiyu.

Xianfu Palace

Shen Meizhuang's face was burning hot. After Wen Shichu took her pulse through the handkerchief, he couldn't help but frown.

Concubine Hui's illness probably comes from her heart. His medicine can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. If Concubine Hui herself can't get over it, even if the immortals are alive, they can't save her.

He first gave Shen Meizhuang acupuncture, and then asked Caiyue to boil a bowl of thick ginger soup for her to drink. Now he could only let Concubine Hui reduce her fever temporarily.

Wen Shichu still had some skills. Shen Meizhuang started sweating and gradually regained consciousness.

She leaned weakly on the bed and gave Wen Shichu a gentle and polite smile.

"I have to thank Doctor Wen for today."

Wen Shichu quickly knelt down and saluted, "It is my humble servant's duty to treat Concubine Hui. I really don't dare to take credit for it."

Shen Meizhuang was already disheartened at this moment. She felt that even the little bit of warmth was gone in this deep palace.

Because of Nian Shilan, her relationship with the emperor had long been on thin ice. She originally thought that she could seek support in the palace by serving the empress dowager, but she didn't expect that she was still too naive.

The world belongs to the emperor. Whoever the emperor likes, even if that person is an unforgivable criminal, what can others do?

Wen Shichu was afraid that Shen Meizhuang would be upset, so he comforted her, "Your Majesty is of noble status and blessed with great fortune. It's just a minor illness. You don't have to worry about it. Take good care of yourself. You are still young!"

Shen Meizhuang smiled bitterly, "They may seem noble, but in reality they are just pitiful people who have no choice."

During the days when Shen Meizhuang was ill, Doctor Wen often came to Xianfu Palace to visit Shen Meizhuang, one to treat her and the other to comfort her.

Shen Meizhuang's illness originated from a heart disease. If her heart disease is not cured, her body will never be cured.

Wen Shichu came to visit carefully every day, which made Shen Meizhuang, who was struggling with illness every day, feel some different emotions in her heart. People are most vulnerable and need care the most when they are sick.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu had the best relationship, but at this time, the Queen Mother confined Zhen Huan to the Sui Yuxuan on the pretext of copying scriptures. Even though she wanted to visit Shen Meiyu when she was sick, she could not leave the Sui Yuxuan at all.

Zhen Huan was worried every day in Sui Yuxuan. What did she mean by the Empress Dowager being in poor health and asking her to copy scriptures? It was just that the Emperor did not have any solid evidence, but was angry that she and Shen Meiyu had used cinnabar to frame Nian Shilan, and was deliberately punishing her.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu are close friends. Although Zhen Huan cannot leave the Suiyuxuan now, she still asks Liu Zhu to convey a message to Wen Shichu, instructing him to take good care of Shen Meiyu.

As a result, Wen Shichu was more attentive in comforting Shen Meizhuang, which made Shen Meizhuang almost unable to suppress her restrained emotions towards Doctor Wen.

Gyeongin Palace

While handling official business, Yixiu accidentally discovered that Wen Shichu had not returned home during this period of time.

She then thought back to how Doctor Wen had secretly complained to her this morning about how her son was too devoted to his duty and hadn't been home for a month.

Yixiu asked Jianqiu to ask what Wen Shichu had been busy with during this period of time. It was really too abnormal.

Jianqiu received the order, went out to investigate, and then returned to report to Yixiu, "Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. Concubine Hui has been ill for a while, and Imperial Physician Wen is busy treating her. Adding to his family's situation, I think Imperial Physician Wen is just using this as an excuse to not go home."

After saying that, she sighed again, "It's just a pity for Wen Shichu's new wife, who has to stay alone at such a young age. This marriage was arranged by the Empress. Shouldn't we give Wen Shichu a lesson? Don't wait for something to go wrong with their marriage and ruin the Empress's reputation."

Yixiu sneered. Wen Shichu, this kid, looks honest, but he is actually very brave!

I didn't expect that until now, Wen Shichu still couldn't forget Zhen Huan. I think he has been taking good care of Shen Meiyu because of Zhen Huan's instructions.

"Forget it, let them be for now! As the mother of a country, it's not right for me to scold the imperial physician for this matter. But you are right, the Crown Prince is now more and more important, and I can't let any rumors spread at this time to ruin my reputation and the Crown Prince's.

Go and have your men keep an eye on Wen Shichu. If anything unusual happens, report it immediately. Don't make any mistakes."

Jianqiu said, "This servant knows."

With Wen Shichu's daily comfort, Shen Meizhuang's condition gradually improved, but in the process, Shen Meizhuang found that she was almost inseparable from Wen Shichu.

Every morning when she opened her eyes, she wondered when Wen Shichu would come. As long as she could see Wen Shichu, she would be happy all day, but if he was late, Shen Meizhuang would be very anxious, fearing that something might happen to him on the way.

In order to see Wen Shichu every day, Shen Meizhuang even threw away her daily medicine, hoping that her condition would heal more slowly.

But even so, her illness will eventually heal.

After checking Shen Meizhuang's pulse, Doctor Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Madam Hui is now fine, but to be on the safe side, please take two more doses of medicine."

Compared to Wen Shichu's beaming smile, Shen Meizhuang's face was less joyful. She said with a strange look on her face, "Is my health really better now? But sometimes I still feel dizzy, with chest tightness and shortness of breath."

Wen Shichu was stunned for a moment, then quickly and carefully took Shen Meizhuang's pulse again.

He was really puzzled. This shouldn't be the case. According to the pulse, Concubine Hui's illness should have been cured long ago. Why did she feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dizziness again?

He didn't doubt that Shen Meizhuang was talking nonsense, so he said thoughtfully: "Perhaps the queen's body is still a little weak, as long as she takes good care of herself, she will be fine."

Shen Meizhuang smiled gently and said, "Since that's the case, I will entrust my health to Doctor Wen. I feel at ease with Doctor Wen by my side."

Wen Shichu looked at Shen Meizhuang's slightly burning eyes, felt his face burning, and avoided Shen Meizhuang's gaze uncomfortably.

"It is my humble servant's honor to have the trust of Concubine Hui. I will certainly live up to your trust and will carefully take care of your health."
