Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"My dear Huihui! My dear, what happened? You've lost weight since I last came back in a few days~"

Zhen Huan was so distressed when she hugged her blue cat.

Wei Yanwan had seen this big fat blue cat once, and because of its unique body shape, just one sight was enough to make her unforgettable.

I just don't know how Zhen Huan knew that it had become thinner.

"Your Majesty, when I found Huihui, he seemed very tired and didn't even react when I approached him."

Zhen Huan continued to hold the blue cat and coax it, completely ignoring Wei Yanwan's plan.

"Qi Ru hasn't come yet. If you don't come and show my Huihui, I'll be angry."

Fujia explained, "Empress Dowager, Imperial Physician Qi is on his way from Yikun Palace and should be arriving soon."

"Tsk, Ruyi has to see the imperial physician every few days. I really don't know what disease she has. She has delayed my Huihui's diagnosis, isn't it, Huihui~"

The blue cat meowed weakly, not wanting to pay attention to anyone, and fell asleep again.

No matter how Zhen Huan coaxed him, he just wouldn't open his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Huihui must be too sleepy. I didn't see any wounds on his body when I brought him back."

Zhen Huan then put the blue cat down and looked at Wei Yanwan who was kneeling on the ground. Then she ordered in a neutral tone, "Fu Jia, let Wei Yanwan sit down."

"Yes."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Wei promised, I have heard of you. You are very popular in this harem now."

Wei Yanwan was not stupid, so how could she not hear the sarcasm in the Queen Mother's words?

A Han Chinese bondservant, born a palace maid, was first favored by the emperor and named a concubine, and then favored for the second time and named a concubine.

Although the position is not high, the promotion speed is quite fast after all.

Who knows, one day the emperor might be in a good mood and give her a noble title.

Zhen Huan doesn't like this feeling of being out of her control.

"Empress Dowager, it is only because you and the Emperor are compassionate that you can allow me to do what I please."

"Oh, you're really good at coaxing people with your little mouth. Okay, you brought my Huihui back, so I should reward you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

My first meeting with the Queen Mother was just as oppressive as before.

At this time, Qi Ru finally wiped the sweat off his face and ran in panting.

"Empress Dowager, are you feeling unwell?"

It turned out that the eunuch who informed Qi Ru didn't tell the whole story.

Qi Ru then mistakenly thought that the Queen Mother was unwell.

"It's not Aijia, it's Huihui. Come over here and show Huihui what's wrong with him."

"..."

Qi Ru looked at the fat blue cat and stood there in a daze for a moment.

But his professional ethics told him that even though this was not within his medical field, he still had to bite the bullet and treat a big fat cat.

Qi Ru was in trouble when he was taking Lan Mao's pulse.

It’s easy to feel a person’s pulse, but how do you feel a cat’s pulse?

In desperation, Qi Ru could only gamble his career and boldly touch it.

During this time, Huihui turned over and did not wake up once.

Just by feeling around, Qi Ru actually figured out some tricks.

This pulse condition is a little strange?

Over the years, Qi Ru has developed the ability to take a pulse without any expression.

However, the expression on his face now turned from gloomy to cloudy, and then to gloomy again.

"Tsk, that's so weird."

"No, that shouldn't be the case."

Seeing him shaking his head and muttering to himself, Zhen Huan suddenly became anxious.

"What happened to Huihui? Tell me, I'm so worried!"

"Your Majesty, from what I see, it's gray, like a symptom of a body being hollowed out."

Zhen Huan's expression instantly turned cold when she heard Qi Ru's words. She said coldly, "I think your medical skills are not good enough. It's not spring yet, and your body is hollowed out. I think your brain is almost hollowed out."

Qi Ru was scolded by the Queen Mother, but he had to ask honestly, "Your Majesty, could you please show me what Huihui has been eating these past few days?"

"Huihui hasn't been in the Cining Palace these past three days. Where can I get it for you—"

Especially this guy is a glutton, leaving nothing behind. Where can Qi Ru find any?

Speaking of food, Zhen Huan suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "Fujia, I want to ask you, what did you do with the black chicken and ginseng soup that Ruyi sent me that day?"

Fujia reported truthfully, "Your Majesty, I did pour it out, but Huihui snatched away a piece of the black chicken leg..."

"Excuse me, Queen Mother. How much ginseng did Concubine Xian use to make the soup? And how big was the black-bone chicken?"

Because Zhen Huan hadn't even looked at it, Fujia had taken over the whole process, so Fujia replied, "That ginseng is as big as a grown man's palm, and the black chicken is also a whole adult black chicken."

"Isn't this amount ridiculous? What kind of ginseng and black chicken soup did Concubine Xian send to the Empress Dowager? Fortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't drink it."

The weather has been hot recently, and the Empress Dowager was already feeling a little irritated. If she drank Concubine Xian's soup, she might bleed on the spot.

It turned out that the blue cat had accidentally eaten the black chicken leg with ginseng, so it had a strong effect on replenishing qi and strengthening yang.

Maybe it has had deep communication with many little female cats in these three days. How could its body not be drained?

When Wei Yanwan heard that it was all because of Ruyi, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

When will Lao Ru give up his hobby of making soup?

That night, the furious Zhen Huan drafted an imperial decree, requiring all ginseng and tonic ingredients in the palaces to be handed over, and prohibiting the use of soup pots in the small kitchen. If you want to drink any soup, you have to wait for the kitchen to make it.

After the order was conveyed, the concubines were miserable, but they dared not disobey and could only obey.

Only a very few people would keep some of it privately.

No one found out.

"Strange, why would the Queen Mother issue such an imperial decree?"

"Oh~ Sister, you probably don't know about this, but I heard a rumor that the Queen Mother's cat accidentally ate ginseng and black chicken soup and became hollowed out, hehe~"

Concubine Jia covered her mouth and smiled brightly.

Concubine Chun patted her arm and signaled Concubine Jia not to smile so happily.

At the same time, she still didn't forget to gossip, "Why are all the ginsengs in the palaces being taken away? I just got one a few days ago. What a pity! I probably can't get it back."

Concubine Jia put down her handkerchief and complained, "It's all Concubine Xian's fault. She keeps making soup for no reason! Because her soup has gone wrong several times, I have to hide all those good things now——"

Realizing she had let the cat out of the bag, Concubine Jia immediately put on a smile and said awkwardly, "Look at how much you talk, little sister. You can't control yourself. That ginseng was sent by my mother's family. I kept it for a good memory. I would never make soup with it to harm others. Sister, please keep it a secret for me."

Ever since the "unintentional" publicity by Concubine Jia and Concubine Chun, Ruyi was pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
