The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Not long after, the queen came slowly towards them with dignified manners and graceful steps, followed closely by Jianqiu.

The queen was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns, which showed her noble identity and status.

"Noble Concubine Rong, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"Your Highness, you are too polite. I see that you seem troubled. Is there anything I can do to relieve your worries?"

"That Concubine Ning is truly unruly and aloof. I don't know why, but she's always at odds with the other concubines, constantly arguing. What's even more infuriating is that the Emperor actually dotes on her, which really puts me in a difficult position."

"Logically speaking, given my status, if an ordinary concubine made a mistake, I would naturally have the right to punish her. But this Ning concubine has the Emperor's support. Even if I am dissatisfied with her, I dare not touch her easily. What should I do?"

You have to know that Concubine Ning is too straightforward. She never beats around the bush when she speaks or does things, and she doesn't know how to please others. With such a personality, it is naturally very difficult for her to get along with others in the palace.

But the emperor just fell for her tricks, pampering her in every possible way. As a result, even though the concubines said nothing, who in their hearts could like her?

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. Although Concubine Ning is favored by the Emperor, she has no family at home. She has no relatives or friends, only the Emperor's favor. If she loses favor one day, she will naturally have nothing. Your Majesty, don't worry."

"The Emperor dotes on her now, so naturally, Your Highness will love her as well. If anyone stirs up trouble without reason, Your Highness will punish them, and the Emperor will not blame You."

"You are right. The emperor is very interested now. Why should I make him unhappy?" The queen seemed to agree with me.

"Oh, there's one more thing. It's about my niece, Princess Qingying. I've already asked the Emperor to marry her off to the Fourth Prince as his concubine. I didn't tell you about this in advance. You won't blame me, will you?"

The queen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly asked me.

"I dare not. Princess Qingying is of noble birth. This is because I and the Fourth Prince are marrying above our station, and this is an injustice to Princess Qingying."

"It is Qingying's blessing that you think this way. The Fourth Prince is a diligent and studious child. He will become a great man in the future." The Queen said with some appreciation.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. The Fourth Prince will definitely treat Princess Qingying well. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

After returning to Yiku Palace, I asked Juqing to secretly go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Wei Lin, and I wrote out the mysterious prescription that I saw in the Queen's Palace.

Now, under Wen Shichu's careful teaching, Wei Lin has become able to stand on his own. His medical skills are beyond doubt, and he has not forgotten his roots and has great respect for Wen Shichu.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Concubine Rong!" I saw Wei Lin bow slightly, clasp his hands together, and bow respectfully to me with all the proper etiquette. He lowered his head, his eyes cast down, not daring to look directly at me.

I sat on the chair and raised my hand slightly to signal, "Doctor Wei, please stand up."

After Wei Lin stood up straight, I slowly said, "Doctor Wei, I suddenly called you here today because I really need to trouble you with something."

Wei Lin hurriedly bowed and said seriously: "I don't deserve it. Your Majesty, please honor me. If Your Majesty has any orders, I will do my best to do everything within my ability and will never let Your Majesty down." His eyes were firm and sincere, as if he was ready.

"Please ask Doctor Wei to take a look at this for me." I picked up the prescription on the table and handed it to Wei Lin.

Wei Lin took the prescription and began to examine it carefully.

After carefully studying the prescription, he slowly raised his head and said calmly, "Your Majesty, after careful inspection and analysis, I can confirm that this is indeed a prescription for preserving the fetus."

"Oh? Is this a prescription for preserving pregnancy?" I asked uncertainly.

What's the point of the Empress keeping a prescription for preserving pregnancy? It looks like it's from many years ago. Could it be... the same prescription that Empress Chunyuan used during her lifetime?

"Moreover, from an overall perspective, this prescription is extremely careful and cautious in its use of the medicine. The dosage of each herb and their combination are just right, and there are no flaws to be found."

He paused briefly before continuing, "Take this recipe for example. It's particularly suitable for pregnant women with weak constitutions. The almond ingredient, in particular, is bitter and slightly warm, and has the properties of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. Adding an appropriate amount of almonds to this pregnancy-preserving recipe will not only nourish the woman but also help alleviate pregnancy-related discomfort."

"So, there should be no problem with this prescription."

But I always feel that this prescription is not that simple. I heard that the queen is well versed in medicine. If it is really used by Queen Chunyuan, there must be something wrong.

"Doctor Wei, is there anything wrong with this prescription? For example, are there other substitutes for the medication? I hope you can give me some advice!"

At this moment, I looked at the other person earnestly, my eyes full of doubt and expectation.

Wei Lin frowned slightly, and carefully examined the prescription in front of him. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "In my humble opinion, there is no problem with this prescription, especially the almond, which is used very well. However, it is important to note that almonds must not be replaced with peach kernels. Peach kernels can harm the fetus and must not be used to protect the fetus! The two must not be confused. Once used incorrectly, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Also, banana is cold in nature and cannot be used with this prescription!" He looked very serious when he spoke.

"If these two substances are processed and mixed into food, it's almost impossible to detect unless an expert carefully examines it. Even if a pregnant woman is lucky enough to give birth, the child will most likely be dead at birth, with purple and blue marks all over its body."

So that's how it is. Concubine Duan once told me that Queen Chunyuan's child was dead at birth, and had purple and blue spots on its body.

It turned out to be the Queen's doing that caused the loss of both Queen Chunyuan and her son. Yixiu really hated Queen Chunyuan for using such a method.

"I understand. Thank you, Doctor Wei, for clearing up my doubts." After learning the truth of the matter, I was actually a little scared.

The queen usually looks kind, but she is so ruthless towards her own sister. No wonder, she has always treated me as just a chess piece.

But now is the time to change. If the emperor knows the truth one day, how can he possibly forgive the queen?

I need to think about this carefully, and I can't let anyone know about it right now.
