Wen Shichu left Xianfu Palace and returned to the Imperial Hospital, where he began to organize Niu Dou's memorials. While organizing, he recalled what had happened today.

Ever since he agreed to check Ping An's pulse at Sui Yuxuan, he has never dared to go. He could see Shen Meizhuang's intentions clearly. He knew he shouldn't do that, but he didn't want to refuse.

Wen Shichu reached out and touched the corner of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, and that oval face appeared in his mind again.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but every time he saw her, he would feel that there were some changes, the kind of changes that were becoming more and more stunning. He didn't know if he could keep her in the future.

He shook his head and couldn't think about it anymore. Business was the most important thing. Shen Meizhuang told him that in order to avoid any more trouble, things should be dealt with quickly.

Just as he finished tidying up, he saw the two brothers of the Jiang family walked in, their eyes constantly glancing at the memorials in his hands.

Everyone in the palace knew that they were Hua Fei's personal imperial physicians, and that they were good at winning people's hearts and forming cliques, so it was better to be careful.

Wen Shichu immediately took the memorial to the Yangxin Palace. Yinzhen held the memorial and looked at the contents on it with a solemn expression.

After thinking for a long time, he looked up and asked, "How sure are you about what the above said?"

Wen Shichu: "Your Majesty, this matter has yet to be confirmed, but it is very feasible and will be more effective than smallpox, but I don't know how much better it will be!"

"I, your humble servant, would like to invite the Imperial Hospital to conduct a joint study."

Yinzhen was both worried and happy. If this was successful, it would benefit future generations and be a great achievement.

Yinzhen: "Okay, I admire you. You don't take credit for yourself, you don't covet power, and you are very humble."

"I leave this matter to you. I will instruct the court envoy to facilitate your work and the judges will fully cooperate. You can do it with confidence. If you succeed, I will reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wen Shichu received the order and left. He would be very busy from now on, dealing with patients every day. He could not enter the palace and would not be able to see Jiuning.

Yinzhen, sitting in front of the desk, kept stroking the paper with an excited look on his face. How many people in the palace and royal family had died of smallpox? If this thing succeeded, no one would be able to shake his position.

Yinzhen: "Su Peisheng, go to the Suiyuxuan! Bring along the newly-tributed pearl headgear!"

In the morning, Shen Meizhuang slowly opened her eyes. The drowsiness she had felt yesterday had completely disappeared. She couldn't help but be surprised! Why was her physique so good? She was no longer suffering from illness. It was truly a joy.

Therefore, I was in a particularly good mood. After washing up and having breakfast, I went to Jingren Palace to pay my respects.

Today, she brought Caixing, Caiyue, Xiaofuzi and a maid.

Now that she was pregnant, she naturally had to be extra careful. Everyone in the palace was watching closely. She wasn't taking any chances.

When they reached the palace road, they noticed from a distance that there was a man acting suspiciously at the corner gate. Seeing them slowly approaching, a young eunuch suddenly rushed out with a basin of water in his hand and rushed straight towards them.

Shen Meizhuang's retreating steps suddenly stopped, allowing the little eunuch to bump into Caixing, and the water splashed on her.

"Oh! My dear, you've splashed water. What shall we do? It's almost time to pay our respects."

Shen Meizhuang: "Go back and change your clothes first, then come back to pay your respects."

There were clearly four people behind her, but she didn't think of sending anyone to Jingren Palace to ask for leave first. After they returned to Xianfu Palace and then came to Jingren Palace, it was already late.

As expected, someone immediately accused her of being disrespectful to the queen and not paying her respects on time.

Shen Meizhuang noticed that Zhen Huan's shoes were also a little wet, and it seemed that she was not the only one being targeted.

Shen Meizhuang: "I am late in paying my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. Please forgive me!"

Yixiu: "It's just once in a while, it's nothing, get up!"

But Concubine Hua on the side had an unhappy look on her face. It seemed that she was the one who arranged this water splashing incident!

Concubine Hua always disagreed with Empress Yixiu: "The Empress is indeed considerate. But I'm afraid that the Empress's love will spoil Concubine Ning."

Shen Meizhuang had just sat back in her chair, but now she could only stand up again, squatting and bowing, saying, "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, I was indeed at fault this time, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

Seeing that Concubine Jing was getting restless and was about to plead for her, Zhen Huan also wanted to stand up, but no! She wanted to use this punishment to avoid the emperor's favor! No one could stop her!!!

Hua Fei refuted Yi Xiu in an unreasonable manner: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. You should take responsibility for your mistakes."

Shen Meizhuang said respectfully, "I will accept your punishment, Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Concubine Hua was so angry that she had no place to vent it. She wanted to target Zhen Huan the most, but she didn't expect her to escape. So she could only vent her anger on Concubine Ning.

Concubine Hua: "Noble Lady Ning is arrogant because of her favor and looks down on the Queen. She should be punished with thirty strokes of the cane." After saying this, she glanced at Shen Meiyu.

Upon hearing this, Shen Meizhuang was shocked. If a concubine was punished by being caned, her pants would be stripped off. If a concubine had her pants stripped off and people saw her, she would be dead, and the emperor would also be humiliated. What was she thinking?

Hua Fei paused for a moment, then continued, "However, the law is nothing but human feelings. Considering that this is Ning Guiren's first offense, I will fine her six months' salary!"

It's okay to just fine her the monthly salary, since she doesn't rely on the monthly salary from the palace to survive anyway.

Yixiu: "In two months it will be the end of the year. If it would be inconvenient to punish him for more than half a year, why not just punish him for one month? What do you think, Sister Huafei?"

Hua Fei raised her hand to adjust her hair bun and said nonchalantly, "As the Queen will do."

Shen Meizhuang was very satisfied with the result. Wasn't she worried that she couldn't find an excuse to avoid everyone's sight?

Yixiu sat steadily on the upper seat, looking down at Hua Fei condescendingly: "Sister, why are you so aggressive today?"

Hua Fei stood up and shook her handkerchief: "The Queen thinks I have gone too far," her words were full of provocation.

Yixiu ignored Hua Fei's provocation and continued to smile with a knife in her heart: "You and I are sisters, serving the emperor together, and you have always served me wholeheartedly, so I don't mind whether you come to pay your respects early or late."

Hua Fei teased softly, "The Empress is kind, but it is because of her excessive kindness that the Emperor has given the power of assisting the six palaces to me..."

It started again. Every time they paid their respects, the two of them would exchange words with each other. Concubine Hua would only take advantage verbally. She didn't even know how much she had suffered in secret, and she was still smug about it.

Back then, Concubine Hua had a miscarriage, and it was Yixiu who was responsible. If she knew about it, I wonder if she would tear Yixiu apart in front of her. It's feasible! Let's find a good time to tell her that the big knife must be used at the critical moment.

After the verbal battle, Concubine Hua said proudly, "Your Majesty is right. I will definitely keep it in mind. I will take my leave now." After saying that, she raised her chin, turned around and walked out proudly.

Seeing Yixiu's increasingly gloomy expression, everyone shrank their necks and retreated.

After everyone left, the Queen's face turned cold. This Concubine Hua was really becoming more and more arrogant. She had been acting like this not long after the Emperor ascended the throne. If her arrogance was not suppressed, she would probably be able to ride on my head in the future.

This Concubine Wan has the face of an older sister, but unexpectedly she has some abilities. She can flirt with the emperor every day and even ignore Concubine Hua.

No wonder this happened today. This Noble Lady Ning is useless and can't even escape a small trick. This Noble Lady Wan is really powerful and must be used well.
