An Lingrong's eyes flashed with unnaturalness, and Shi Qing tried to smooth things over and followed Zhen Huan's words.

"Lingrong's craftsmanship is quite good. The Jade Face Cream she gave me last time is quite good. We are blessed to have a sister as considerate as Lingrong."

"As long as sister likes it."

Shi Qing's words made An Lingrong inexplicably agitated. She quickly made an excuse and left Shuiyuxuan in a hurry.

Zhen Huan stroked the part of her neck that was scratched by Concubine Li. The scratch marks on her snow-white skin were horrifying.

Shi Qing stood up and used a handkerchief to wipe away the scar-removing glue on Zhen Huan's neck. Perhaps his movements were a bit rough, Zhen Huan frowned in pain and said angrily.

"Sister Mei, what are you doing?"

Shi Qing raised his eyes and gestured to the maid Liu Zhu, and instructed her, "Prepare a basin of clean water first. Your young master's wound has not been cleaned yet, and if you apply medicine carelessly, it will easily leave scars."

Zhen Huan suddenly had an idea. She realized that Shi Qing seemed to be hiding something. After frowning slightly, she had the answer to this question in her heart.

"Jinxi, Huanbi, you two go down first. I have something to say to Sister Mei."

Although Jinxi was confused, she obeyed the young lady's orders very well. Several people left the inner room and stood guard outside.

Zhen Huan whispered to Shi Qing, "Sister Mei, you seem to be hiding something on your mind. We've been sisters for over a decade. Isn't it worth it for you to reveal your feelings to me?"

Shi Qing stroked Huanhuan's forehead and spoke in a low voice.

"Huan'er, did you ask Imperial Physician Wen to come over just now?"

Zhen Huan shook her head. "Doctor Wen is busy. He wasn't in the Imperial Hospital when I sent someone."

"Why not send someone else to invite someone? The Imperial Hospital has rules at this time of day, and everyone in the hospital is here. Huan'er is not feeling well, so it's even more important to invite someone reliable."

Shi Qing was being cautious, and Zhen Huan thought it made sense, so she ordered Huanbi and Xiao Yunzi to go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Wen to come to Suiyuxuan to take her pulse.

Shi Qing and Zhen Huan were talking and laughing. She revealed to Zhen Huan the news that the Queen was pregnant. Zhen Huan was surprised after hearing it.

"The Queen has finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships. Now she has her own child. It's not easy."

She did not mock the queen for giving birth to a pearl like others did, but just lamented the queen's difficulties.

"I heard that the Emperor has been visiting the Empress's palace recently. Huan'er, only children can help you gain a foothold in the harem. It would be great if you were pregnant."

Zhen Huan's eyes fell on her lower abdomen expectantly, and she said with some emotion.

"Sister, I do hope to get pregnant, but as for the child, I can only say that it depends on God's will. How dare I have such extravagant expectations?"

While the two were talking, Doctor Wen came to Suiyuxuan carrying his medicine box. Xiao Yunzi came to report and said respectfully.

"My lady, Doctor Wen is here."

Zhen Huan said with a smile to Liu Zhu, "Reward Xiao Yunzi and give him and Huanbi a bag of silver to go have a drink."

"Yes, my lord."

Liu Zhu did as he was told and handed the prepared purse to the two of them. He then looked at the box containing the money with melancholy, his expression somewhat helpless.

After entering the palace, although she received rewards from the Empress Dowager, Concubine Hua and the Emperor, the young lady was very generous and gave out countless amounts of money, which reduced the small treasury a lot.

Liu Zhu was really hurt, but she knew that winning people's hearts was the foundation of survival in the harem, so she only expressed her feelings in private.

Xiao Yunzi said jokingly, "Miss Liuzhu looks like we owe her money!"

Liu Zhu pursed his lips, swung his fist, and hit Xiao Yunzi angrily.

"You little Yunzi, you actually made up a story about me. I'm going to tear your mouth apart and see if you dare to talk nonsense!"

There was laughter and joy in the Suiyuxuan. Shi Qing felt as if he was there himself. Looking at the lively people around him, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

Liuzhu's death took away Huanhuan's purity and innocence. She had to protect this little girl.
