Speaking of taking medicine, Wen Yicai remembered Wen Shichu.

This person looks very cowardly on the outside, but what he does behind the scenes is to kill nine generations of his clan.

Medicines given to concubines in the palace to pretend to be sick, to induce miscarriage, and to win favor.

He fell in love with the emperor's favorite concubine and drugged the princess when he returned to the palace.

She slept with the emperor's concubines with good family backgrounds and also gave the emperor a princess from the Wen family.

It's such a waste of talent for such a person to die alone, and it would be a huge mistake not to inflict compensation on his entire clan.

At this time, an epidemic broke out in the palace.

Cao Qinmo quickly begged the emperor, and the emperor agreed to let Cao Qinmo stay in the palace.

Cao Qinmo and Wen Yi still lived in the west side hall of the Yikun Palace. While living in the Yikun Palace, the emperor would visit Cao Qinmo often.

Cao Qinmo didn't care that she was already the queen and concubine, but still had to live in the west side hall.

The emperor often came to see Cao Qinmo, and Cao Qinmo was treated very well.

Moreover, the emperor came to see Cao Qinmo ten times, but only summoned him two or three times.

The emperor usually came to Yikun Palace to have lunch with Cao Qinmo, visit Wen Yi, and reminisce about Nian Shilan.

Although Cao Qinmo met the emperor many times, she was not favored much, so she did not arouse jealousy. It was simply perfect.

When Wen Shichu was about to develop a prescription to treat the epidemic, Wen Yi said to Cao Qinmo: "Mother, Wen Yi had a dream in which there was an imperial physician named Wen. He was very powerful and could cure the current epidemic."

Cao Qinmo was just waiting for the opportunity to be named a concubine. Although she didn't quite believe Wen Yi's words, she still took them to heart.

Cao Qinmo soon found out that the prescription developed by Wen Shichu was almost ready. Cao Qinmo stayed alone for half an hour and formed several plans in his mind.

Cao Qinmo ordered his subordinate Yinmei to do the job, but Yinxiu had died of the plague long ago.

Yin Mei held a large sum of silver and threw it out.

In just half a day, Yin Mei brought good news.

Cao Qinmo saw Yinmei's expression and knew something was going to happen. After dismissing everyone, Cao Qinmo asked, "What did you find out?"

Yin Mei lowered her voice and replied, "Huanbi, who used to serve Lady Wan, revealed a lot of information. This Huanbi said there is another big news. If I can introduce her to the emperor, she will speak up."

When Cao Qinmo heard it was Huanbi, his smile deepened and he said, "Don't show up. Let someone you can trust go and tell Huanbi. If Huanbi doesn't tell him, the fact that she burned paper for her mother in the palace will be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately."

Yinmei agreed and told what Huanbi had revealed: "Before the selection of Lady Wan, Doctor Wen had used the family heirloom jade pot to ask for marriage from Lady Wan."

Cao Qinmo's eyes lit up, but she said, "It is a serious crime to ask for a concubine without permission. After Wan Guiren entered the palace, Doctor Wen has been serving her. There is no guarantee that the two of them are not having an affair."

After Yin Mei left, Cao Qinmo called Yin Xiu again and told her to go find Wen Shichu.

At night, Cao Qinmo received the prescription for treating the epidemic from Wen Shichu.

Cao Qinmo hurried to the Yangxin Palace. The emperor was very pleased when he received the prescription and promised that if the prescription was useful, he would promote Cao Qinmo to the position of concubine.

Cao Qinmo returned to Yiku Palace with a happy face, and Yinmei brought another piece of news.

Cao Qin sat silently and listened to Yin Mei's words: "The noble lady of Wan came to the palace to pretend to be sick to avoid being favored. Wen Shichu prescribed a medicine that would not harm the body for the noble lady of Wan to pretend to be sick."

Cao Qinmo almost laughed out loud, thinking: Great, I thought Wen Shichu could escape death for just one crime, but now he is charged with deceiving the emperor, and all his nine clans are in danger.
