The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

"It's late at night, so I won't disturb your Majesty's rest. I will come to visit you another day when I have time."

"Jixiang, go and see Concubine An off!" Concubine Duan said with difficulty.

"No need, just look after your queen, I can go back by myself!"

"Your Majesty, are these things sent by Concubine An?" Jixiang asked in confusion.

"Take it!"

"Will this be a problem?" Jixiang asked worriedly.

"It's okay. Since she's willing to come to see me, she must have something to ask for. The thing can't be wrong."

"It seems that I underestimated this noble lady An. This daughter of the county magistrate is indeed not a simple person..."

Concubine Hua asked Jiang Cheng to take her pulse and found that there was nothing wrong with her body, but she couldn't get pregnant.

She then asked the Queen to send a doctor from outside the palace to examine her.

Doctor Chen, who had been accompanying Nian Gengyao, was brought into the palace. Imperial Physician Zhang, the director of the Imperial Hospital, said, "Empress Hua is of high rank. Over twenty imperial physicians have examined her pulse, all of them experts."

"These are Empress Hua's previous pulse diagnosis records. They have all been given to Doctor Chen for reference."

Afterwards, Doctor Chen went to Yiku Palace to take Concubine Hua's pulse.

"You've always been by my brother's side. My brother's good health over the years is also due to your contribution!"

"If you take good care of my health, I will give you ten thousand taels, which is not enough. If you don't take good care of me, I will also give you ten thousand taels."

Doctor Chen looked up, surprised and puzzled.

"As your funeral expenses!" Hua Fei said softly.

This scared Doctor Chen so much that he thought for a long time before coming up with a response.

Hua Fei's body had already been damaged by the musk, and she could no longer conceive a child.

"My mood is that being too impatient will only lead to failure. The Queen's health is only a matter of the child. It requires the right time, place and people. None of them can be missing."

"You mean? I can still have a child, right?" Concubine Hua cried with joy.

"Yes, please relax, your wish will come true."

Doctor Chen pretended to be calm, but he was actually very panicked.

When he walked out of the Yiku Palace, his face was covered in cold sweat.

Jiang Fuhai came to see Doctor Chen and asked him to check on Aunt Zhuxi, who was by the Empress Dowager's side.

Doctor Chen followed behind and nodded in agreement.

"Aunt is in good health and there is nothing wrong with her." Doctor Chen took Zhuxi's pulse and said.

"No, the imperial physician said that my illness is quite serious and it will take some time to cure it."

Zhuxi was very sure.

"This?" Doctor Chen hesitated.

"Doctor Chen, what would happen if someone wasn't sick, but everyone else said they were, and you were the only one who told the truth?"

"Then I'd be considered crazy!"

"If a person is sick, but everyone says he is not sick, what will you, Doctor Chen, say?"

"But if someone else diagnoses it..."

"No, that's absolutely impossible. All the mouths in the Imperial Hospital have the same tongue."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, aunt." Doctor Chen knew very well how dangerous the palace was. He was just a small quack doctor and could not afford to offend anyone.

"Come here, escort Doctor Chen out of the palace!" Zhu Xi called a eunuch and ordered.

The emperor heard about Concubine Fucha in the Netherlands, and after finishing his state affairs, he hurried back and went to the Queen's palace first.

"How could such a thing happen?" the emperor asked the queen.

"It's all my fault that this happened. Please punish me, Your Majesty." The queen looked sincere.

"I'm not blaming you. You didn't want this to happen. Get up!" The emperor reached out and pulled up the queen.

I went to Suiyuxuan to visit my sister in the evening, but found that she was still asleep.

"Huanbi, what happened to your young lady? Why did she go to bed so early today?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have been feeling tired, sleepy and have a poor appetite lately..." Huanbi realized it belatedly.

"Why don't you go and ask the imperial physician to come and have your young master take a look!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Huanbi went happily.

The emperor sat quietly beside the bed, waiting.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Wen is here." Jin Xi spoke and reminded the emperor in a low voice.

"Go and see."

Wen Shichu stepped forward to feel her pulse, and after a moment, he stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, the young lady is pregnant and is two months pregnant."

"Mr. Wen, are you telling the truth?"

"Your Majesty, it is confirmed!" Wen Shichu replied.

"This is such good news! I originally thought Noble Lady Fucha had lost her child, but now Huanhuan is pregnant too. This is truly a happy occasion!"

"How did you serve the young lady? How come no one noticed such a thing?" The emperor turned to look at Jinxi and Huanbi.

"I know I was wrong. It was our negligence. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Why are you all here? What happened? When did the emperor come back? Am I dreaming again?"

The emperor stood up and sat beside the bed, speaking softly, "Hanhuan, you are not dreaming. I just came back from visiting the queen and then came to see you. Who knew you were still asleep?"

"I've just been a little sleepy lately. Your Majesty, why didn't you wake me up? I've been waiting here for nothing."

"You were sleeping so soundly, I couldn't bear to wake you up."

"Why is Doctor Wen here too? Is the Emperor feeling unwell?"

Everyone just looked at her and smiled, no one said anything.

"Your Majesty, what are they laughing at? Why hasn't anyone told me what happened?"

"Hanhuan, you are already two months pregnant!"

"Is what the Emperor said true? Are you lying to me? Jinxi, tell me."

"Look at her, she doesn't even believe it herself. How can she be a mother?"

I will tell the Queen tomorrow and let her make the arrangements.

"Your Majesty, I have a request, please grant it."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, please don't let anyone know what happened today. Noble Lady Fucha just lost her child, so she's bound to be feeling depressed. Please wait a while before informing the Empress!"

"My concubine Wan is considerate and always willing to understand. Well, I will listen to you and not tell anyone."

"I thank the Emperor!"

"Wen Shichu, last time the epidemic happened, it was all thanks to you. Huanhuan's vision is indeed good. From now on, I will also leave the dragon fetus of Wanpin to you."

"Yes, I obey your order!"

"Serve me well, and I will reward you handsomely. Is there any progress regarding the recent epidemic?"

"Your Majesty, I have made a discovery regarding the epidemic."

"What discovery did you make?"

"I have heard rumors from the palace maids and eunuchs that the two imperial doctors, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen, accepted bribes, and those who were without money could only wait for death."

"How dare they be so bold and enrich themselves like this? They are unworthy of being imperial physicians."

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The two imperial physicians, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen, have always been serving Concubine Hua. Your Majesty should also investigate thoroughly to avoid affecting Concubine Hua's reputation."

"I will send someone to investigate this matter. If it is true, they will be severely punished."

"I believe that the Emperor is a wise ruler and will naturally reward and punish clearly."

Jinxi dismissed everyone and they all went out.
