"The Emperor has long been irritated with Wanpin."

As the heat rose, An Lingrong was steaming her eyes. Chrysanthemum, mulberry leaves and mint were added to the boiling water. The alternation of coolness and warmth relieved the soreness and swelling in her eyes, and made her brain temporarily empty.

Unexpectedly, the words that the queen in her previous life had said rushed into her mind at this moment.

The queen in her previous life used Chun Yuan's old clothes to frame Zhen Huan and prevent her from becoming a concubine. She was very confused and asked the queen foolishly: "Can a piece of clothing completely overthrow Zhen Huan?"

The Queen explained at the time that Queen Chunyuan was the person the Emperor could not let go of the most, and because E Min had done a lot of work in the previous dynasty, the Emperor became tired of Zhen Huan.

At the beginning, her attention was attracted by the Queen's words: "Sister, sister, you are really my good sister. You have been able to protect and help me for so many years." She only wanted to explore the deeper meaning behind these words.

But the word "early" was ignored.

In her previous life, when she was conferred the title of imperial concubine, the emperor posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Hua Fei.

In her previous life, the Queen also mentioned that Zhen Huan had visited Concubine Hua before her death. At that time, she was anxious to win favor and please the Queen. Besides, Concubine Hua had bullied her before, so she only felt happy about Concubine Hua's death and never tried to find the reasons behind it.

But in this life, after Hua Fei's death, the emperor immediately issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on her, which is enough to show how much Hua Fei meant to the emperor.

In both lives, Zhen Huan was present at the moment when Concubine Hua died.

In both lives, Concubine Hua died tragically, and there must be some triggering reason for this.

In the mist, An Lingrong's mind suddenly became clear. It seemed that the secret of Huanyixiang was known by Concubine Hua. She could not bear the emperor's elaborate deception for many years and chose to leave.

The person who leaked this secret was Zhen Huan. The Queen secretly saw through everything, which led to the word "early".

In this way, Zhen Huan forced Concubine Hua to death, but since the emperor was already angry with Zhen Huan because of this, why did he still make her a concubine in the previous life? Was it another form of flattery? Or was he really unable to help himself and had to have her?

In this life, Concubine Hua was covered in blood in front of the Emperor and Zhen Huan, but the Emperor only punished a few servants and never blamed Zhen Huan. Did he endure it in silence or make other arrangements?

If things continue to develop according to the trajectory of the previous life, then in less than two months, the harem will be completely under the control of the queen.

An Lingrong didn't want to see the Queen's family alone in power.

She was thinking whether she should let go of her worries and quietly remind Zhen Huan to be careful of the Queen, and then the two of them could work together to fight against the Queen?

But the Queen was usually very kind and righteous, and Zhen Huan had never had any friction with her. How could Zhen Huan believe something without any evidence?

The hot moment was over, An Lingrong left the table and called out, "Honeysuckle."

"Your Majesty is hungry. I will serve the meal right away."

"No hurry. Let me ask you, have the two young eunuchs you are keeping an eye on done anything unusual recently?" There is still an unresolved matter in the palace. On that day, Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu were assassinated in Yime Garden, and the murderer has not been found until now.

An Lingrong knew that this was the work of the Queen, and that Concubine Duan also got involved to muddy the waters. At the time, she took into account Concubine Duan's desire for revenge, and did not let Rendong follow this line, but only asked her to keep an eye on the Queen's people.

"Your Majesty, the two of them have never had any contact with Jingren Palace again."

The Queen was really cunning and cautious. After Concubine Hua died, all her people fell silent. Now it was difficult to break through Jingren Palace, so she had no choice but to go to Concubine Duan to find out something.

If the perpetrator of the crime that day could be found, Zhen Huan would be on guard against the Queen with the evidence in hand.

Let’s not talk about An Lingrong’s considerations.

In Yongshou Palace, Shen Meizhuang was full of admiration for Wen Shichu's medical skills:

"Doctor Wen, I didn't expect you to have such a miraculous skill. You used mulberry thread to sew Huan'er's wound layer by layer like sewing clothes. In less than ten days, the wound that was originally only one finger long was completely healed. It's really a miracle."

Wen Shichu removed the last stitch on Zhen Huan's wound, looked up and saw Shen Meizhuang staring at him with bright eyes. He suddenly felt confused and spoke in panic:

"My humble medical skills are not worthy of such praise from the noble lady Hui. The techniques I used have been recorded in medical books of all dynasties. There are records of cesarean sections in the Han Dynasty, and there were many cases of suturing trachea in the early Ming Dynasty. I am not the first doctor to practice this method."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes slightly and saw Shen Meizhuang's more admiring eyes. He panicked and changed the subject: "Madam Wanpin, the wound has healed, but you still need to pay more attention to your diet and rest to avoid redness, swelling and inflammation. Remember to apply the powder I left behind every day, and replace it with the white jade ointment when the wound starts to itch."

After the stitches were removed, Zhen Huan stared at the distorted scar in the mirror. Once again, she did not notice Shen Meizhuang's abnormality. After hearing what Wen Shichu said, she only asked worriedly, "Can the white jade paste make this wound heal as before?"

"The White Jade Cream is derived from the Thousand Gold Prescriptions. It can dissipate scars. Concubine Hui is also using it. Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to make your skin flawless."

Zhen Huan had something on her mind, so she just nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Imperial Doctor Wen."

Wen Shichu noticed that she was hesitant to talk, and wanted to ask her if she had anything bothering her. However, besides Concubine Hui, there was also Concubine Qi in the room, who looked difficult to get along with and was looking at him coldly. So he had to tactfully leave.

When Shen Meizhuang saw that he was about to leave, she wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw the people in the room, she suppressed the urge to speak. However, she couldn't help but glance at Wen Shichu's back a few more times.

All of this was seen by Concubine Qi, who looked down on Shen Meizhuang. After all, she was a lady from a wealthy family, so how could she not be arrogant? She was just an imperial physician, wasn't she? Was it necessary to treat her well? She just had to do what her master told her to do.

However, Concubine Qi changed her mind and thought that it was normal for someone like Shen Meizhuang, who was not favored, to curry favor with others in the palace. Wasn't it just to gain benefits from it that she came to accompany Zhen Huan every day without any complaints?

Thinking of this, she felt depressed again. As both of them were meritorious officials, Zhen Yuandao could be promoted to the second rank, but her father had to be ranked below Zhen Yuandao and only got the third rank of Deputy Inspector General. In the harem, she also had to please Zhen Huan every day.

But then she thought of what the Queen had said, that she was asked to live with the favorite concubine so that she could learn how to be a favorite concubine.

If Zhen Huan can do it, so can she. Thinking of this, Concubine Qi said to Zhen Huan with a bright smile on her face:

"Sister Wanpin, my father knows a lot of extraordinary people. I will ask someone to tell him to prepare a few ointments for you from the folks. Then, even if the prescription from the Imperial Hospital doesn't work, you can have another choice."

Gradually, Zhen Huan felt unable to resist Concubine Qi's enthusiasm. She was too clingy. Except for sleeping time, she was with her in the main hall almost every day. But she was too active and always came to ask questions without asking any questions.

These topics are all about the emperor's preferences, and some are about the personalities of the concubines in the palace.

If Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, tears would immediately well up in her round eyes, and she would look aggrieved, as if she had been bullied by others. So she had to coax her every day.

Ever since Nian Shilan's death, she had been feeling uneasy and had always wanted to talk to Shen Meizhuang about it.

But with Concubine Qi clinging to her like this, she really couldn't find a chance to speak.

I couldn't help but feel annoyed with Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi was also annoyed. She was fed up with having to fawn on Zhen Huan every day.

Fortunately, her father asked her to be patient for a while, and then she won't have to suffer the anger.

The two of them had their own thoughts and dealt with the situation on their own.
