Wen Shichu remained calm. Shi Qing had already told him about this when he set out, so he was particularly calm at this moment.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven. Even though the Huanyixiang he gave to Concubine Hua was cruel, who dares to criticize the emperor? He is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Most importantly, Concubine Hua wouldn't be so foolish as to confront the Emperor when it would be of no benefit to her.

Although Hua Fei suffered a miserable death, she was not innocent. There were countless concubines in the harem killed by her. Aren’t those women innocent?

Songzhi quickly supported Concubine Hua and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. Perhaps this is just a misunderstanding..."

Wen Shichu added, "I have been learning medicine from my father since I was young. Although my medical skills are not world-renowned, they have never been wrong. Aunt Songzhi's words are unreasonable. If you were suspicious of me, why would Concubine Shen invite me here and humiliate me in vain?"

Concubine Hua raised her hand and slapped Song Zhi, saying coldly, "Who allowed you to speak nonsense? Since Doctor Wen said so, he must have his reasons."

Songzhi quickly knelt down to apologize. Wen Shichu didn't care, but just didn't stay long.

Concubine Hua begged him to leave the prescription. Wen Shichu thought about it and left a prescription when he left.

"Your Majesty, this is a folk remedy left by our ancestors. I haven't tried it, so I don't know how effective it is. If Your Majesty is desperate and needs medical help, you might give it a try. However, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"Of course, this has nothing to do with you. I won't let complicated matters implicate you, my Lord. However, please don't reveal what happened today to anyone else. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety."

Wen Shichu didn't want to meddle in other people's business. "Your Majesty, you are joking. I just came here to treat Master Nian's old injury today. What does it have to do with you, Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Wen Shichu was so sensible, Concubine Hua gave up the idea of ​​getting rid of him. After all, he would be useful in the future. She was a little emotionally broken and needed to sort things out.

Concubine Hua had Wen Shichu escorted away properly. Only when he returned to the Wen Mansion did he breathe a sigh of relief.

For so many years, Concubine Hua had been eager to have a child, and it turned out that this was the reason why she had not been pregnant. He felt as if he had heard a shocking piece of news, but he knew very well that this matter would endanger himself, so he did not reveal a single detail.

The next day, when Wen Shichu went to Suiyuxuan for a medical consultation as usual, he told Shi Qing about this matter.

"Everything is just as my lady expected. It is impossible for Concubine Hua to be pregnant."

Shi Qing stuffed some gold leaves into Wen Shichu's hand and said, "Thank you for your help, Lord Wen. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Remember, no matter who asks about this matter, don't defend yourself."

Wen Shichu is a down-to-earth person, so Shi Qing is very relieved. As for the relationship between Wen Shichu and Mei Zhuang in the original plot, she has no plans to continue it.

The plot has changed too much, which easily leads to a butterfly effect. Her mission is to survive to the end, to accompany Huanhuan in raising flowers, fish, and male favorites, and then to experience the story of how a little emperor was raised.

"Hua Fei harmed the noble lady in the past, why are you still helping her? I think that the young lady will take revenge for any slight."

Shi Qing narrowed his eyes. "The women in the harem are all like skeletons trapped within these high walls. They will all wither one day. Why make things difficult for each other?"

Hua Fei's ending is definitely not good. Didn't she die with hatred in the original plot?

If Huanhuan wants to rest easy and get rid of the Queen, her number one rival is Concubine Hua. Shi Qing's eyes were deep, and he hid his thoughts in his heart and said nothing.

"My lady is truly open-minded. Your Highness is favored by the Emperor. Your future will surely be a smooth one."

I don't know since when Wen Shichu stopped calling Zhen Huan sister, as if to avoid suspicion. Perhaps he knew that his address would bring trouble to Huan'er.

"As long as I can live a peaceful and smooth life, everything else is icing on the cake. I have no other requests. I will naturally treat Huan'er's child as my own."

Wen Shichu's eyes were deep, and he asked in confusion, "Now that Concubine Hua knows the truth, the world in the harem is about to change..."

Shi Qing patted her dress and smiled brightly, "Only in this way can we fight for a way out."

Wen Shichu was stunned for a moment when he saw the smile on her beautiful face, and left with the medicine box.

Before leaving, he gave Shi Qing some medicine, all of which were for health. They would be of great benefit to him if he took them, but they were all ancient recipes and very hard to find.

He is thoughtful.

Concubine Hua returned to the palace that night. After knowing the truth, she did not make a fuss, nor did she punish the concubines in a high-profile manner.

Zhen Huan was surprised, but she was busy dealing with the affairs of the harem, so she didn't pay attention to the situation in Kunning Palace.

Shi Qing was not in a hurry either. He was just fighting for his own dignity. Once Hua Fei found a way out, she would naturally take action.

However, her brother couldn't hold back...

However, there was no news about the incident in Kunning Palace. The empress dowager was bedridden, and news came from Shoukang Palace that the empress dowager's body could not hold on for much longer.

The imperial physician said that the patient was in his last moments of life and that he would soon pass away.

When the emperor heard the news, he put aside his court affairs and personally took care of the patient every day, providing very thorough care.

Unfortunately, the Queen Mother was now so ill that she was confused and could not even remember who he was, and she kept calling him the Fourteenth Old Man.

The emperor was immediately furious and hurried back to the Yangxin Palace, feeling depressed.
