On the day of the third bathing ceremony, the Sixth Prince had lost his vernix caseosa, and was as white and tender as a piece of soft tofu.

An Lingrong watched the wet nurse changing the Sixth Prince's clothes, and could not help but hold the Sixth Prince's arm and bite it gently.

The Sixth Prince tilted his head in shock for a moment, then his face turned red with grievance.

An Lingrong looked at her son's pitiful appearance and burst out laughing. She patted her son's butt and said, "You little brat, you are tough and don't cry or make a fuss."

Naturally, An Lingrong could not attend the third-day bath ceremony as she was in confinement. When her son was brought back, she learned that the emperor had given him the name Hongchang (Chang).

The emperor's sons all have the word "time" in their names.

The "Chang" in "Hongchang" represents the length of the day and also means healthy growth.

Just as An Lingrong was out of confinement, an epidemic broke out in the palace.

Wei Lin had already developed a prescription for the epidemic under An Lingrong's suggestion, and An Lingrong calmly prepared the herbs.

When the epidemic broke out, the palace was in chaos.

The palace maids and eunuchs continued to fall ill, and Shen Meizhuang was infected with an epidemic just like in her previous life.

Dirty things also came into the Sui Yuxuan. It was found out that they were sent by Concubine Qi. An Lingrong was so angry that she laughed.

Concubine Qi, this brainless woman, must have felt that the Sixth Prince Hongchang was a threat to the Third Prince, so she actually used the real-name system to harm him.

However, Concubine Qi must have been instigated by the Queen behind her actions.

The two new palace maids in Suiyuxuan Palace were also infected with the epidemic, so An Lingrong directly closed the palace.

The small kitchen of Suiyuxuan has been in use all the time. The previous ingredients are enough for seven or eight days. During this period of time, no one in Suiyuxuan has gone out or in.

Zhen Huan is now four months pregnant. After being promoted to a concubine, she lives in Xianfu Palace, where Shen Meizhuang and Jingpin take care of her pregnancy.

Jingpin thought that Zhen Huan was giving her a child, so she protected the baby in Zhen Huan's belly wholeheartedly.

The Queen took action many times, but only made Zhen Huan's fetus a little weaker.

After Shen Meizhuang fell ill, Concubine Jing brought Zhen Huan to the main hall of Xianfu Palace and took care of her personally.

Shen Meizhuang was poisoned when she was imprisoned before, and Concubine Hua may have poisoned her again during this epidemic.

Just three days after she was exposed to the disease, Shen Meizhuang passed away.

Because the situation in the palace was not good, Shen Meizhuang was not given a funeral.

After the body was collected, Shen Meizhuang was buried as a concubine according to the emperor's order.

Shen Meizhuang's death caused Zhen Huan to have a miscarriage.

Zhen Huan's pure face reminded the emperor of his child with Queen Chun Yuan. Upon hearing the news, he wanted to visit her in Xianfu Palace, but was persuaded by the queen.

The Queen Mother sent Aunt Fangruo to Xianfu Palace to take care of Zhen Huan's baby. The Queen was very dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's arrangement and ran to Shoukang Palace, but was scolded by the Queen Mother.

Five days after Wei Lin closed his palace in Suiyuxuan, he went to Yangxin Palace to deliver a prescription for the epidemic.

As a new imperial physician, the emperor did not believe the prescription immediately after receiving it.

After the imperial doctors had evaluated and judged the situation and tried the medicine on patients suffering from the epidemic, they confirmed that the prescription was indeed effective.

Wen Shichu was halfway through studying the prescription when he learned that his apprentice Wei Lin had already handed it over. He felt a little depressed and a little bit resentful. If Wei Lin had handed over the prescription earlier, maybe Concubine Hui would not have died.

But soon, Wen Shichu could no longer blame Wei Lin.

Because of his meritorious service in offering prescriptions, Wei Lin was promoted by the emperor to imperial physician, with the same rank as Wen Shichu.

This time, Concubine Hua Nian Shilan did not think about sharing the emperor's worries. As soon as the epidemic broke out, the Yikun Palace was closed and no one was allowed to go out.

Concubine Hua Nian Shilan lived a leisurely life and did not pay attention to what was happening outside, and the Queen did not extend her hand to the Yikun Palace.

Knowing that Shen Meiyu had died, Huapin Nian Shilan ate two more pieces of crab meat cakes.
