After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 27: Entrusted by Concubine Hua

Zhen Huan would definitely not tell Concubine Hua directly that she was afraid that she would lose the baby in her belly. She just said euphemistically that she was indeed not feeling well and could not serve the Emperor for the time being.

Naturally, Concubine Hua would not believe Zhen Huan's lies.

After chatting with Zhen Huan for a long time, Concubine Hua really couldn't get anything out of Zhen Huan, so she had to return to Yikun Palace first.

When they arrived at Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua asked Zhou Ninghai to find out who Zhen Huan had met recently. Zhou Ninghai acted quickly and immediately informed Concubine Hua of all the information he had found out.

"Wan Changzai became seriously ill after meeting Wen Shichu." Concubine Hua carefully considered Zhou Ninghai's information and always felt that something was wrong.

He became seriously ill after meeting Wen Shichu.

"Who else did Doctor Wen meet before he met Concubine Wan?" Concubine Hua asked Zhou Ninghai.

This put Zhou Ninghai in a difficult position. He was so busy asking about Zhen Huan's recent movements that he forgot to ask about Wen Shichu.

"I will go and ask right now." Seeing that Concubine Hua looked unhappy, Zhou Ninghai immediately ran out again.

The Imperial Hospital kept a very detailed account of each imperial physician's whereabouts in the palace. Zhou Ninghai quickly found out that Wen Shichu had met Concubine Duan before meeting Zhen Huan.

"Your Majesty, after Doctor Wen came out of Yanqing Palace, he happened to meet Concubine Wan. As for what they said, I don't know. However, I did find out that Concubine Wan fell ill two days after seeing Doctor Wen, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs even temporarily removed her name card."

Zhou Ning looked at Concubine Hua cautiously while replying.

"Empress Duan, Wen Shichu and Concubine Wan are here." Concubine Hua sat on the chair and rubbed her head.

Zhou Ninghai knew that Concubine Hua hated Concubine Duan, so he said in a smart way: "Your Majesty, you are really kind-hearted. You even asked Doctor Wen to see Concubine Duan. In my opinion, even if Concubine Duan takes care of her body, she will not be able to give birth to a child!"

"Child!?" Concubine Hua murmured, and finally understood why Zhen Huan pretended to be sick.

Zhen Huan must be afraid that if she gets pregnant, she will lose the baby, so she would rather not be favored anymore. Zhen Huan is too cautious.

This can't go on like this.

Once Zhen Huan pretends to be sick, the Emperor will no longer be able to favor Zhen Huan and will certainly ignore her. Then Concubine Hua will become a thorn in the Queen's side.

Being watched by the Queen all the time, Concubine Hua would be very passive and her actions would be greatly restricted. If Concubine Hua dared to dissuade her brother Nian Gengyao from returning to the countryside after the return of the Great Sage, before he went on the expedition to the northwest, she would have to persuade him to take off his armor and return to the countryside.

"Go, call Doctor Wen." Concubine Hua ordered Zhou Ninghai.

Zhou Ninghai said "yes" and immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to ask Wen Shichu to come.

Wen Shichu did not dare to delay and hurried to Yiku Palace carrying his medicine box.

"Your Majesty, this is the burn ointment I prepared for you. Apply it to the affected area three times a day. It will help your scar heal."

Concubine Hua expressed her gratitude to Wen Shichu.

At the same time, she also felt emotional. No wonder Zhen Huan was able to climb up step by step from the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister to the position of Empress Dowager in her previous life. She was surrounded by loyal and capable people like Wen Shichu.

If Concubine Hua wants to avoid the disasters of her previous life, she has to rely on the help of people around her like Zhen Huan.

"Doctor Wen, is Concubine Duan feeling better?"

"According to the instructions of the Empress, every time I go to check Concubine Duan's pulse, I must personally boil the medicine and see her drink it before I leave. After several months of conditioning, Concubine Duan is in much better health than before. She no longer walks out of breath and looks good."

"Hearing you say that, I finally feel a little relieved. To be honest, I am also sorry to Concubine Duan."

Wen Shichu raised his eyes and saw Concubine Hua's face full of disappointment.

He wanted to ask, but then he felt that this was a matter of the harem and he, an outsider, should not ask about it casually.

Hua Fei found it funny when she saw Wen Shichu's curious eyes, which glanced at her secretly and then quickly looked away. She kept her mouth shut and didn't ask about the affairs of the harem.

"Back then, I mistakenly thought that Concubine Duan had killed the prince in my belly. Now I think that's not the case. Then I think that I was the one who caused her miscarriage, which led to her illness. No matter how big the grudge was, it should be settled now."

Hua Fei paused for a moment and quietly observed Wen Shichu's expression. Seeing that he was still listening quietly with his head down and his expression was still respectful, Hua Fei had a better impression of him.

"I went to see Concubine Duan some time ago and saw how sick she was. It must be hard for her to survive in the harem. Why should I make things difficult for her? That's why I asked you to help her. Doctor Wen, you have to make Concubine Duan healthy no matter what."

Wen Shichu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I will definitely live up to your trust, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hua raised her hand and asked Wen Shichu to get up.

Wen Shichu stood up, and although he was standing, he still lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Concubine Hua.

Seeing that Wen Shichu always abided by his duties as a foreign minister, Concubine Hua was even more satisfied with him.

"If you handle this matter well, I will definitely reward you handsomely. In the future, if Concubine Wan gets pregnant, I will definitely protect the mother and child."

Wen Shichu bowed again to express his gratitude.

A few days later, Wen Shichu went to Yanqing Palace to check Ping'an's pulse.

Following Concubine Hua's instructions, Wen Shichu personally watched Concubine Duan drink the medicine before leaving.

Concubine Duan's personal maid couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Wen, is Concubine Hua really not going to give our queen a chance to live? Our queen has suffered enough, can't she let her go?"

Wen Shichu was stunned and did not understand what the palace maid meant.

After a while, he finally understood what the palace maid said.

Wen Shichu bowed respectfully to Concubine Duan, and then asked, "Your Majesty, I have the audacity to ask you a few questions."

Concubine Duan has smoothed out her edges over the years and has a very steady and gentle temperament.

"Doctor Wen, please tell me."

Wen Shichu thanked him.

"Excuse me, Madam, have the symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath improved in recent days?"

Concubine Duan thought for a moment and nodded.

Wen Shichu asked again: "Excuse me, Madam, have you still felt dizzy when walking recently?"

Concubine Duan thought for a moment and said, "Almost nothing."

Wen Shichu smiled slightly, "Excuse me, Madam, I still feel weak and feeble."

Concubine Duan finally understood the purpose of Wen Shichu's three questions.

"Recently, I have clearly felt that my body is much more refreshed and energetic than before."

When Wen Shichu heard Concubine Duan say this, he smiled knowingly, "Then I congratulate Your Majesty."

Concubine Duan's personal maid heard it clearly and realized that she had misunderstood Wen Shichu, so she quickly apologized to him.

Wen Shichu waved his hand to indicate that this was what he should do.

Concubine Duan said gratefully: "Thank you, Doctor Wen, for your miraculous healing skills."

Wen Shichu bowed modestly and said, "I am also entrusted by Concubine Hua. When someone entrusts you with something, you must be loyal to them."

A complicated look flashed across Concubine Duan's eyes.
