The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

It took An Lingrong two days to finish writing half of the prescription. After all, so much time had passed that she couldn't remember it clearly.

There were people in the palace contracting the epidemic every day, and people were in a panic. In addition, the disease was so severe that the Imperial Hospital was helpless.

The Queen Mother, the Empress, Concubine Hua, and Concubine Qi have been burning incense and praying in Baohua Hall since the epidemic broke out in the palace. The Emperor is also worried and has a headache.

An Lingrong watched as people in the palace were infected with the epidemic one by one, and the more anxious she became, the more confused she became.

An Lingrong had ordered early on that the three children be put indoors and not be taken out. She also hung medicine bags in the room and on the nanny. Every time she burned moxa leaves, vinegar and liquor, she would first sprinkle them on the palace maids and then start sprinkling them in the room.

She also asked Bao Yu, who was familiar with medical skills, to check her pulse every day. She originally planned to let Wei Lin come, but Yu Yin refused to let him go, so she asked Wen Shichu to check her pulse from time to time as well.

An Lingrong is lucky to have Baoyu, otherwise she wouldn’t know what would happen.

Bao Yu was worried that An Lingrong would be infected with an epidemic due to overwork, so in addition to taking An Lingrong's pulse every day, he also stewed medicinal food for An Lingrong to eat.

In order to prevent herself from getting sick and infecting the children, An Lingrong ate three meals a day and drank a lot of tea every day.

Despite this, Baoyu still advised An Lingrong to get enough rest. After all, she would not be able to sustain herself even with the best diet if she stayed up late all the time. In addition, An Lingrong was fed by herself, so she could not take any medicine.

An Lingrong looked at the prescription she had found, nodded to indicate that she would pay attention to it, and then continued to look through the medical book.

The epidemic outside was getting worse and worse, and the emperor even issued a notice to seek medical treatment outside the palace. After staying up all night for several days, An Lingrong finally wrote out the prescription, but her memory was really vague.

An Lingrong looked up and ordered, "Xiao Linzi, go to Suiyuxuan and call Imperial Doctor Wei and Imperial Doctor Wen over. Even if Concubine Zhen won't let them go, bring them here."

"Yes, my lady, I will do it right away." After saying that, Xiao Linzi put on the medicine bag and ran towards Sui Yuxuan.

When they arrived, Yu Yin refused to let them go. Xiao Linzi was polite at first, but then he took the two doctors away forcefully, leaving Yu Yin alone and angry.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Wei and Imperial Doctor Wen are here."

"Quick, come in."

Wei Lin and Wen Shichu came in to pay their respects to An Lingrong. "Your humble servant pays his respects to Concubine Rou..."

"Alright, alright, get up quickly. The two imperial doctors will take a look at these medicines to see if they can cure the epidemic." An Lingrong quickly asked the two to get up and handed them the copied medicines.

While the two were studying the herbs, An Lingrong brought over a few medical books: "These herbs were all found in these books. The two imperial doctors can take a look at them together."

Wei Lin took the medical books and looked through them with Wen Shichu.

Wei Lin was still young after all, so Wen Shichu flipped through the book a few times and then knelt down in surprise: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The medicines you wrote can indeed treat the current epidemic, but the dosage is unknown. I will go back and discuss it with the doctors in the Imperial Hospital. I believe that it won't be long before we can overcome this epidemic."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Imperial Doctor Wen. Go quickly. I don't want the children to suffer so much. Women are strong as mothers. I can't rest easy if this epidemic is not cleared up."

"I will do my best." After saying that, Wei Lin and Wen Shichu hurried back to the Imperial Hospital to study the prescription.

Not long after, the Imperial Hospital had studied all the prescriptions and dosages given to An Lingrong.

The emperor was very pleased. After learning that An Lingrong had worked all night to find the prescription, he immediately decided to promote An Lingrong to the position of concubine. The queen tried to stop him when she heard this, saying that it was not in accordance with the rules to promote An Lingrong to the position of concubine only a few months ago.

The Queen Mother also felt that it was inappropriate. Although An Lingrong did a great job in this matter, frequent promotions were indeed inappropriate. But the Emperor was a man of character. The more you opposed him, the more he would argue with you.

After staying up all night for several days, An Lingrong fell into a deep sleep after confirming that the prescription could cure the epidemic. Anyway, the Queen Mother exempted everyone from paying respects due to the epidemic, so she slept without any worries.

When she woke up, she received the imperial edict that promoted her to Consort Rou, and the emperor's oral instruction for her to have a good rest. An Lingrong was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that a prescription could make her a concubine.

Now there are four concubines and six concubines, including Concubine Qi, Concubine Duan, Concubine Hua and Concubine An Lingrong. There is only one concubine, Concubine Jing.

Now that the positions of the Four Concubines have been filled, it seems that if the Emperor wants Concubine Jing to check and balance Concubine Hua again, he will probably promote Concubine Jing when Concubine Hua is promoted to Noble Concubine.

Oh, it's such a mess every day. I'm now a concubine and have a child. I don't know how many eyes are watching me in the harem.
