Seeing this, the colleague could not say anything else and could only carefully explain:

"Although you, Doctor Wen, have served Concubine Hui for such a long time, you still need to be careful at this time of night."

Both of them drank alcohol in the evening, and Doctor Wen was a little drunk. If he accidentally offended his master, he would definitely be punished.

Wen Shichu smiled indifferently, turned around to find his medicine box, and followed Caiyue to Xianfu Palace.

Xianfu Palace

Shen Meizhuang was already drunk. When she saw Caiyue bringing Wen Shichu out, she gave a hazy smile.

Shen Meizhuang is usually dignified and elegant. After seeing Wen Shichu, even though there was more affection in her eyes, she still politely called him Doctor Wen.

But today Shen Meizhuang seemed like a different person. She smiled and said to Wen Shichu:

"Wen Shichu, you're here."

Wen Shichu knelt down and greeted, "Your humble servant greets the Concubine Hui. May the Concubine Hui live in peace and good health. What's wrong with you?"

Shen Meizhuang gave Caiyue a wink, and Caiyue understood and closed the door and went out, leaving only Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu in the room.

Wen Shichu also drank some wine today, and his mind was not very clear, so he did not notice this abnormality.

"I have a pot of good wine here, come and have a sip."

Although Wen Shichu was drunk, he was not stupid. "Your Highness is drunk. You should take a rest! You are in good health. Drinking is really harmful to your health."

Shen Meizhuang smiled sadly, her voice tearful as she said, "Why do I always have to be sober and restrained? Can't I just get drunk for once?"

Wen Shichu didn't know how to refute Shen Meizhuang's words. Just like she said, why do people always have to be sober and restrained? Can't they get drunk for once?

He could only persuade her gently, "I'll go get some hangover medicine for Concubine Hui. It's late at night and I have things to do in the Imperial Hospital. I hope your Majesty will understand."

Shen Meizhuang poured a glass of wine for Wen Shichu. She was dignified and virtuous, but at this moment she had a different kind of charm.

"It turns out that now, I don't even have anyone to drink and talk with."

Shen Meizhuang placed the glass of wine she poured for Wen Shichu in the place closest to Wen Shichu, and then poured herself a glass.

Wen Shichu was in a state of confusion at the moment. He stood up and stepped forward to persuade her, "Wine can warm the body, but it can also harm it. Your Majesty is not in good health, so it's really not appropriate for her to drink."

Shen Meizhuang came forward, her smile containing a hint of sarcasm and sadness.

"Aren't Doctor Wen and I the same kind of people? We're both trapped by the rules of this world, doing things we don't want to do, and being with people we don't want to be with, but we can't do anything about it."

The smell of alcohol from Shen Meizhuang's mouth and nose lingered on Wen Shichu's face. Even though she was drunk, the beauty's alcohol smell was still sweet.

Wen Shichu's face felt hot. He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "That's right. Come, let's have another drink."

The crisp sound of clinking glasses rang out, and the two people drank one glass after another.

After three rounds of drinks, under Shen Meizhuang's deliberate guidance, Wen Shichu finally couldn't help but tell the truth.

"I don't want to get married at all, but my father and mother are forcing me. The girl from the Zhou family and I are just a couple in name only, so why did my father bring us together? How can a couple who haven't even held hands have a child?"

Shen Meizhuang's heart moved, and after hearing Wen Shichu's words, the defense line in her heart was completely broken.

"You really have never touched her. Are you really just a couple in name only?"

Wen Shichu laughed and said, "If you tell me even a single lie, I'll be damned."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Meizhuang covered Wen Shichu's mouth and said, "Why did you make such a vow? I want you to be fine."

Shen Meizhuang's soft fingers touched Wen Shichu's lips. The two looked at each other, with unspeakable madness and restraint in their eyes.

At this moment, true love and desire collided with worldly prejudice, and Shen Meizhuang stepped forward and held Wen Shichu in her arms.

Wen Shichu did not refuse, but just felt the tenderness of Shen Meizhuang in his arms.

Perhaps it was the repression over the years, or perhaps it was the wine today, or perhaps Wen Shichu had fallen in love with Shen Meizhuang at some point and developed a different feeling for Concubine Hui.

Wen Shichu, this seemingly well-behaved and honest man, actually picked up Shen Meizhuang by the waist and walked towards the bed.

The breeze blew out the candlelight, and the clothes gradually scattered on the ground, turning the red waves into the water, and the mandarin ducks were embracing each other.

…………

After a while, even though Wen Shichu had tidied his clothes, they were still a little messy. He came out of Xianfu Palace holding a medicine box with a strange look on his face.

However, it was already late at night, and there were few people patrolling the palace, so Wen Shichu returned to the Imperial Hospital safely.

Day 2 Early Morning

Yi Zheng was dressing up when Xiu Dong walked in with an awkward look on her face.

She bowed to Yi Xiu and said sternly, "Let this servant help you wash and groom today!"

Yixiu frowned slightly, thinking that something must have happened in the harem, or something that was difficult to explain.

"In that case, you may withdraw first. Xiudong will serve me today."

Jianqiu, who was combing her hair, said with a smile, "I obey your order. Everyone, get out!"

She took away all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the room, leaving only Yixiu and Xiudong so that they could talk.

Nowadays, although Xiudong is responsible for handling information about the outside world for Yixiu, she can also do things like combing Yixiu's hair, so it doesn't arouse too much suspicion.

Xiudong went forward and picked up the comb on the table, saying, "A few days ago, the Queen asked me to keep an eye on Doctor Wen. She had been fine until yesterday, when the eunuch suddenly sent a message saying that Concubine Hui had asked Doctor Wen to see her that evening. It's normal that Concubine Hui hasn't been feeling well these days.

But who would have thought that this consultation would last a full two hours. Furthermore, I heard that many of the palace maids and eunuchs had been sent out, leaving only Wen Shichu and Concubine Hui in the room.

Yixiu frowned. She naturally thought of what Xiudong had thought of.

"Are you suspecting an affair between the two? That seems unlikely!"

It was normal for Yixiu to think this way. After all, Shen Meizhuang had been behaving like a lady from a noble family and a virtuous lady since she entered the palace. No one would suspect her of having an affair.

Secondly, Yixiu also knew that Doctor Wen had always been in love with Zhen Huan. How could he have an affair with Shen Meizhuang?

"This matter is no joke, you have to check it out."

Yixiu's voice unconsciously took on a hint of coldness.

Xiudong replied, "Your Majesty and I thought the same thing. When we first heard the news, we were also shocked and couldn't believe it at all. But then we checked..."
