Chapter 155: Missing

Hua Fei suspected that she had seen it wrong.

She blinked and looked at Prince Guo again.

I saw Prince Guo playing the flute and really looking at me.

Hua Fei's heart skipped a beat. She turned around, facing away from Prince Guo, and said to the guards with a cold face, "I am tired. Give me a boat. I want to go back and rest."

"Yes, Empress Hua."

The guards knew that Concubine Hua was now Imperial Noble Concubine, whose status was second only to the Empress, so her orders were executed very quickly.

A small boat came to pick them up and took Hua Fei and Song Zhi to shore.

Concubine Hua left the scene without looking back.

Prince Guo was a smart man, and naturally would not show his friendship to Concubine Hua in front of everyone, so sometimes he would look away, and then pretend nothing had happened and look at Concubine Hua opposite him.

When he turned around and found that the person opposite him had disappeared, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Until he found the disappearing figure on the shore.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better now? Do you want to ask Doctor Wen to come and see you?" Song Zhi asked.

This time when the emperor was spending the summer in the Old Summer Palace, in addition to bringing his wife and concubines, he naturally also brought officials such as the imperial physician.

Hua Fei was indeed feeling a little dizzy, so she agreed to Song Zhi's request.

Wen Shichu arrived very quickly.

After carefully taking Concubine Hua's pulse, he prescribed a prescription for clearing heat and detoxifying, and gave it to Songzhi to boil.

When only he and Concubine Hua were left in the room, he looked around to make sure no one else was around, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of the Turtle Breathing Pills will be settled by the end of the year."

Hua Fei was originally feeling sleepy and tired, but when she heard Wen Shichu say this, she immediately became energetic.

"Really?"

Wen Shichu nodded, "Yes. So, how many do you need, Madam?"

Hua Fei thought for a moment and said, "Three."

Wen Shichu bowed to Concubine Hua and said, "No later than the twelfth month of this year."

Hua Fei said: "Okay, I will definitely reward you well when the time comes."

Hearing this, Wen Shichu shook his head and said, "I work for your majesty not for fame or gain, but only hope that your majesty will take good care of Concubine Wan."

Seeing the flames flashing in Wen Shichu's eyes, Concubine Hua sighed in her heart, another romantic man.

"Don't worry, Doctor Wen. I will definitely take good care of Lady Wan!"

In fact, during this period, Wen Shichu also heard about how Concubine Hua blocked the knife for Zhen Huan and gave up the carriage to Zhen Huan in the rain, so he was willing to do his best to serve Concubine Hua.

Because he knew that as long as he did his best to serve Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua would help Zhen Huan.

In this way, he has fulfilled his promise to Zhen Huan.

After bidding farewell to Concubine Hua, Wen Shichu walked on the deserted path. Hearing the laughter coming from the lake from time to time, his pace gradually slowed down.

Hearing that the Emperor had favored Zhen Huan again, he was both happy and sad.

Before I knew it, I had reached the lake.

On the boat, Zhen Huan was playing the piano while the Emperor was sitting on the dragon chair drinking wine, staring at Zhen Huan without blinking.

Prince Guo next to him was playing the flute, his eyes looking off into the distance.

"Huan'er, is this the life you want?"

Wen Shichu's eyes were a little moist. He turned around and walked towards his own room.

When I turned a corner, I suddenly heard whispering.

"Will the noble lady Wan really come tomorrow?"

"Of course, the nobles in Wan like these novel things the most. Just imagine, when you walk by, many fireflies suddenly fly out from the bushes. Isn't that a beautiful scene?"

"Hearing you say that, it is indeed true!"

"Then is the emperor with Concubine Wan?"

"No, Lady Wan can do it herself!"

Listening to the two people whispering, Wen Shichu was filled with emotion.

Before Zhen Huan entered the palace, if she wanted to see her, she could see her anytime.

Now that she was in the deep palace, he could only see her a few times throughout the year.

Not to mention talking and meeting.

Wen Shichu returned to his room in a daze, lying on the bed, tossing and turning.

Zhen Huan's situation and experiences after entering the palace were always on his mind.

Although Zhen Huan has regained favor in the past two days, what about the future...what will the situation be like?

When Wen Shichu thought about the difficulties Zhen Huan would face in the future, he wished he could grow wings and fly to her...

After taking the medicine prescribed by Wen Shichu, Concubine Hua slept soundly.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Since we are here to escape the summer heat, we can skip the traditional etiquette of paying respects to the Queen in the harem.

But Concubine Hua did not dare to slack off.

She cooked mung bean and kelp soup herself, chilled it with ice cubes, and then went to see the empress dowager first.

The Queen Mother was not afraid of the cold at her old age, but the sun was too strong and the sunlight was too glaring, so she always felt dizzy and sleepy.

Seeing Concubine Hua coming to see her in the scorching sun, the Queen Mother was also moved.

"I heard that you had a fever for some time and just got better. Why are you here to take care of me again?"

"I was thinking about the Queen Mother, so I came to see you."

As Concubine Hua spoke, she poured the mung bean soup into a small bowl and handed it to the empress dowager with both hands.

"Try some iced ones to cool you down."

The Queen Mother looked at the mung bean soup that she brought over with both hands and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"

Hua Fei nodded, "I have nothing to do."

The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Hua was sincere and could not refuse, so she drank two sips symbolically.

At her age, her appetite is not very good, and the hot weather makes it even worse.

But she didn't expect that after drinking a sip of green light soup, she felt much more refreshed.

Before I knew it, I had finished the whole bowl.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had finished drinking the mung bean porridge, Concubine Hua was very happy and rubbed her shoulders and massaged her legs.

The Queen Mother was so comforted that she fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found that Concubine Hua was gone.

Zhu Xi explained: "When Concubine Hua saw that you were asleep, she quietly left. Before she left, she told me not to wake you up!"

The Queen Mother rubbed her temples, stared blankly at the lush banyan tree at the door, and murmured, "Hua Fei is even more filial than the Queen. If that child was still alive, he should be about the same age as Hongli."

Zhuxi knew who the "child" the Queen Mother was referring to.

She nodded and sighed.

After visiting the Queen Mother, Concubine Hua took Songzhi to visit the Queen.

The Queen saw the Emperor and Zhen Huan being affectionate with each other last night and she hardly slept the whole night.

She originally thought that Concubine Hua was her biggest rival, but she didn't expect that it was Zhen Huan who showed up halfway.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is here to see you!"

The queen had not gotten up yet and was leaning on the bed. When she heard that it was Concubine Hua who came to see her again, she got angry for no reason.

"It's really strange. How come Concubine Hua has changed her personality recently and is so attentive to me? She was so arrogant in the palace before. After entering the palace and becoming a concubine, she never took me, the queen, seriously. Who is she being so respectful to now?"

Jian Qiu comforted her, "My Lady, if you don't want to see me, then don't see me."

The queen had a terrible headache and waved her hand impatiently, "No see!"

Jianqiu looked at the scorching sun outside and deliberately waited for a long time before going out and saying to Concubine Hua who was standing under the scorching sun: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, please go back, Concubine Hua."
