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

Chapter 72: Why should I raise you?

The emperor had already sat up from the bed and looked at Shen Meizhuang with dissatisfaction.

"Where did you go?"

Shen Meizhuang was not good at lying. She hesitated for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, I was thirsty just now, so I got up and drank some water. I am guilty of disturbing Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned and said, "Get up. Since there is a reason for this, I don't blame you."

In the second half of the night, Shen Meizhuang lay back on the bed and couldn't fall asleep again.

The next morning, the emperor did not have breakfast in Cunju Hall, but went directly to the Yangxin Palace. The reason he gave to Shen Meizhuang was that he was busy with government affairs and it would be easier to eat in the Yangxin Palace.

Shen Meizhuang knew that the emperor was angry about what happened last night. She had no words to express her pain and could only feel sad in secret.

"My lady, something bad has happened. The medicine jar I boiled last night was broken by a clumsy palace maid." Caiyue hurried over and said to Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang was a little annoyed. "This is not a serious matter. Why are you panicking?"

Caiyue said in embarrassment: "It just so happened that the medicine jar was broken in the imperial kitchen, and it happened to splash onto an imperial physician. The imperial physician said that the palace maid wanted to harm the young lady."

Shen Meizhuang was puzzled: "Is she a palace maid from our Cunju Hall?"

Caiyue nodded, "She is a palace maid from our Cunju Hall."

Shen Meizhuang asked: "Then why did the imperial physician say that the palace maid wanted to harm me?"

Caiyue replied: "The imperial physician said that he smelled something wrong with the prescription in the medicine jar."

Shen Meizhuang's heart immediately rose, "What else did the imperial physician say?"

Caiyue thought back carefully, "The doctor picked up a broken piece of the jar and said he would take it back to have a look. If he found that there was something wrong with the prescription, he would definitely punish the maid. I begged the doctor and explained to her that the maid was from Cun Ju Tang and would definitely not harm you, young lady. After begging for a long time, the doctor finally gave up."

Shen Meizhuang felt better knowing that the palace maid was not in trouble.

She had an unpleasant argument with the Emperor last night, which somewhat affected her mood. However, when she thought about getting pregnant with an heir in the near future, Shen Meizhuang felt that she would be happy even if the Emperor misunderstood her.

At noon, the letter that Concubine Hua had been waiting for finally arrived. She opened it and saw that it was a prescription sent by Doctor Chen from the northwest.

"Songzhi, go to Cunjutang."

"My Lady, why have you been thinking about Concubine Shen all the time recently?"

"Mrs. Shen is a nice person, we can get along well. It would be nice for me to visit her more often."

Songzhi said "Oh" and nodded, thinking that Concubine Hua is becoming more and more open-minded and broad-minded. She was not even jealous when Shen Meiyu was favored last night.

Shen Meizhuang had no appetite, so she simply skipped lunch and prepared to take a nap.

Hua Fei arrived just as she was getting ready for a nap.

"Mrs. Shen, it's snowing outside, you can go enjoy the snow scenery. Why are you being lazy and sleeping in in broad daylight?"

As soon as Concubine Hua entered the room, she saw Shen Meizhuang had taken off her mink coat and was about to lie on the bed, and she couldn't help but ridicule her.

Shen Meizhuang never thought that Concubine Hua would come while it was snowing outside.

"Greetings to Her Majesty Hua Fei. I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you." Shen Meizhuang hurriedly bowed to Hua Fei and apologized.

"I was just joking, why should you be so nervous, Lady Shen?" Concubine Hua covered her mouth with the handkerchief and smiled.

Shen Meizhuang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Concubine Hua was not angry and did not put on the overbearing attitude of a royal concubine.

"If it weren't for some happy event, I wouldn't have come to you in such a hurry." Concubine Hua sat down and took out a letter from her sleeve. Song Zhi behind her took off her mink coat and put it aside to shake off the snowflakes on it.

When Shen Meizhuang saw Hua Fei's delicate little nose and ears that were frozen red, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of happy event it was that made her come to see her in the wind and snow.

"Seeing that Your Majesty is so happy, I am also very curious about what great event it is."

"Open it and have a look." Concubine Hua handed the envelope in her hand to Shen Meizhuang, her pair of phoenix eyes sparkling. Shen Meizhuang was infected by the joy in her eyes and hurriedly opened the envelope.

After opening the envelope, there was a piece of paper inside. In addition to the greetings to Concubine Hua, the rest was a prescription for female infertility. After reading it, Shen Meizhuang looked up at Concubine Hua. Seeing Concubine Hua staring at her with expectation, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Your Majesty has come here in the heavy snow just to give me this prescription. I am so grateful that I will cry!" Shen Meizhuang stood up and bowed to Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei waved her hand disapprovingly, "I know you are anxious, so as soon as I received the letter from Qinghai, I rushed over without stopping."

Without Hua Fei telling her, Shen Meizhuang knew how anxious Hua Fei was when she came. Her cheeks were red from the cold. Thinking of this, Shen Meizhuang's eyes could not help but become moist.

"Your Majesty is so loving and loyal to me." Shen Meizhuang bowed again to greet Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua held her back and said in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Lady Shen, please don't be polite to me. During this time, I will take the prescription written by Doctor Chen to regulate my body. After Doctor Chen comes and takes your pulse, I will further refine the prescription. You can rest assured, Doctor Chen said in the letter that this prescription will not harm your body, but will only make your body warmer and stronger."

After hearing how thoroughly Concubine Hua had considered her, Shen Meizhuang didn't know what to say and could only thank her repeatedly.

When Concubine Hua was about to leave, Shen Meizhuang put on her coat and insisted on seeing her off to the palace gate.

Hua Fei turned around and waved to Shen Meizhuang, smiling sweetly and said, "Go back, Concubine Shen. It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."

Shen Meizhuang nodded and bowed, "Have a good time, Madam."

Watching Concubine Hua getting into the sedan chair and walking away in the snow, Shen Meizhuang felt very uncomfortable. The more warm and sincere Concubine Hua was to her, the more uneasy she felt.

"Caiyue, do you think I am being mean-spirited?" Shen Meizhuang asked Caiyue after returning to the house.

Caiyue handed the hand warmer to Shen Meizhuang, "My lady is a kind person, so you have such a heavy psychological burden. There are countless dangers in this deep palace. Even if you don't have the intention to harm others, you have to be on guard against others. Besides, Concubine Hua doesn't have a very good reputation in this harem, so it's right for my lady to be on guard against her."

Hearing Caiyue say this, Shen Meizhuang felt better. But she was not a bad person after all, so she was still a little uneasy.

She asked Cai Caiyue to put Concubine Hua's house in the cabinet, "Please keep this carefully, don't lose it. If Imperial Doctor Liu's house doesn't work, maybe you can try Doctor Chen's."

Caiyue agreed to all of them.

........

Three days later.

There was a sudden news that the Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace was feeling unwell.

After the emperor finished his court session, he hurried to Shoukang Palace to visit the empress dowager.

After the imperial physician finished the treatment, he reported back, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager must have caught a cold and the evil spirits have invaded her."

Three days later, the Queen Mother's symptoms worsened again. She called in several imperial doctors, but none of them could help.

The emperor was furious, "Why should I keep you?"

Someone suggested, "Perhaps the emperor could invite the Imperial Observatory to look at the celestial phenomena."
