Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The Queen had attacked Yi Xin more than once. Even though the Queen Mother was often ill in bed, she was still aware of the Queen's every move. After trying to persuade the Queen many times to no avail, she could only send Aunt Fanghua, who had taught Yi Xin the rules in her palace, to Yi Xin, saying that she would help Yi Xin to have a good pregnancy. In fact, she just wanted to give the Queen a warning.

However, the Queen did not listen at all. She even said bluntly in front of the Queen Mother: "My Honghui died at a young age because of the dirty things between adults. Now the Emperor already has three princes. There will always be someone who can inherit the throne in the future, so there is no need for another prince to be born!"

The Queen Mother was so angry at the Queen's words that she vomited blood. She really vomited blood. Unfortunately, she couldn't invite the imperial physician after the Queen left, otherwise the news that the Queen had made the Queen Mother vomit blood would definitely spread to the previous dynasty, and the Ulanara family would not be able to find a girl to replace the Queen in a short period of time. The Queen Mother was afraid of the consequences and could only digest the bitterness in her heart by herself. Naturally, her health became worse and worse.

The palace had finally had a peaceful year, but when spring came and flowers bloomed, an epidemic suddenly spread in the capital. The palace was slow to realize it, and even with strict daily precautions, news continued to come out that palace people had contracted the disease.

Yi Xin got the news a little earlier. After all, the Dong family and the Xia family were not easily influenced by news. But if she really wanted to prepare, she just asked for more vinegar. Because of the sudden change from warm to cold weather, she spent money to buy a lot of charcoal. When the palace was under martial law, the Fucha family sent a lot of medicinal materials through the Dong family and the Xia family, such as mugwort, isatis root and forsythia.

When Yi Xin gave birth to a concubine, the guards of the Yanx Palace were gradually replaced by guards from the Fucha clan and Fucha's relatives. So Yi Xin used the medicinal materials sent by the Fucha clan and the elixirs in the space to make sachets to prevent viruses. Not only did she give them to the palace maids of the Yanx Palace, but she also secretly used them for the guards outside the door.

There had also been an epidemic in the original body's memory, but the time was definitely not right now. Yi Xin was too lazy to care where the epidemic came from. As soon as she received the news, she gave all the prescriptions that could be used in the space to Fu Cha, letting Fu Cha decide how to use them.

Fu Cha did not disappoint Yi Xin. She used it on her own family members at first, and later on the servants in the farm. After confirming that it was an effective prescription, she wrote a letter to the palace and sent the prescription to the homes of her in-laws.

After the palace was sealed off due to the epidemic, Concubine Hua had the audacity to order people to throw personal belongings of the patients into the Yanx Palace. The guards on duty did not notice it because they were changing shifts, but a young eunuch in the Yanx Palace heard the noise when he got up in the middle of the night.

However, the young eunuch did not report it immediately, but took the thing to his sleeping place. It was not until the next morning that it was discovered by the young eunuch in the same room. The eunuch was smart. When he heard that the thing was picked up by someone in the same room, he directly asked someone to report to Zhang Deshun. After listening to Yi Xin's instructions, Zhang Deshun quickly gave the two young eunuchs preventive medicine for a few days. Not only did he burn the clothes, he also took two stoves and burned vinegar in the room for two days.

After this operation, no one in the Yanxi Palace was sick. After the strict ban in the palace was lifted, An Ying personally took a very exquisite set of clothes to express her gratitude, and Xia Changzai ran to talk to Yi Xin as soon as possible.

"My lady, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know how I would have gotten through it!"

Xia Changzai was good-looking and had a simple personality, especially in front of people close to her, she spoke without restraint. Yi Xin quickly stopped her from talking, fearing that she would say something more explicit.

"This time the disease has spread throughout the capital, and the disease has been quelled in more than a month. It can be seen that the emperor is really lucky."

Concubine Xia didn't quite understand why Yi Xin suddenly said this, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, I heard that the epidemic was quelled thanks to the prescription developed by Fu Cha. How does it have anything to do with the emperor?"

Sang'er and Xizhu, who were standing behind Yi Xin, rolled their eyes at the same time. This Concubine Xia was really impossible to lead!

Yi Xin continued to speak without changing her tone: "No matter what, the Fucha family is just a minister, and the doctor who developed the prescription is also a subject of the emperor. If the emperor did not love his people like his own children and gave the Fucha family enough trust, and immediately found someone to publish the prescription, how could the epidemic subside so quickly?"

Xia Changzai suddenly realized: "So this is what you mean, Your Majesty. It sounds like the Emperor has indeed done a great thing!"

The emperor, who had been eavesdropping outside for a while, finally spoke up, "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Xia Chang couldn't hide his frightened expression at all, and Yi Xin also stood up and saluted in surprise. The emperor helped Yi Xin up without waiting for her knees to bend, and his words of "no need to be polite" were very sincere.

Yi Xin personally brought a cup of tea to the emperor and pretended to be angry and said, "The emperor came so suddenly, and the people outside were so careless that they didn't even inform him. What if Concubine Xia and I happened to talk about the emperor's faults?"

The emperor's pupils moved slightly, and he tested Concubine Xia and said, "Listen, Concubine Jin wants to say something wrong about me. Concubine Xia, do you know what I am wrong about?"

Xia Changzai was a simpleton. She glanced at Yi Xin and replied timidly, "The Emperor really dotes on Concubine Wan. Among all the new ladies, only Concubine Jin was promoted because of her pregnancy. Concubine Wan was promoted from a concubine to a noble after serving the emperor in bed. No one else has this honor."

Yi Xin also pretended to be jealous and agreed, "Yes, everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Wan is the emperor's favorite, and Sui Yuxuan is always under the emperor's care. Aunt Cui Jinxi, the head of the palace, went to Concubine Wan early in the morning to show her courtesy, and even left Concubine Chun, who lives in the same palace with Concubine Wan, aside."

Fu Cha had just made a great contribution, and the emperor took advantage of her and gained a lot of good reputation among the people. He had no intention of getting rid of her, so as soon as the ban was lifted, she immediately came to Yi Xin, saying that she was visiting, but in fact she did have the intention of testing her.

Fortunately, Yi Xin had the power to cheat with her spiritual sense and flattered him without leaving any trace, otherwise she would have to deal with the emperor's endless temptations.

After dealing with this wave of problems, the emperor immediately began the next wave of temptations: "Fucha has made great contributions. How about I promote you to Concubine Jin?"

Yi Xin was really a little surprised, and looked straight over without disguising, "Is what the emperor said true?"

The emperor chuckled and said, "How could this be false?"

Yi Xin rolled her eyes in her heart, knowing that if she didn't handle the situation properly today, she would lose her position as a concubine, so she smiled and replied, "It would be a lie to say that I don't want to be promoted, but I'm a little unsure about the promotion. After all, according to convention, I will be promoted to the next level after the baby is born in my belly."

"I would rather the emperor wait until I give birth before advancing to a higher position. At least I will not be so hateful in the eyes of Concubine Hua. Otherwise, Concubine Hua will find fault with me all day long, and I will not have the time to deal with it."

This really didn't sound like a lie, so the emperor believed it as soon as he heard it. He took Yi Xin's hand and said with a smile: "How can I put Yi Xin in such a situation? Since Yi Xin said that she will be promoted after giving birth to a child, I will listen to Yi Xin this time."

"Don't worry, Yixin. I won't let anyone disturb your peace."
