An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 263 Prescription Problem

In the end, Concubine Jing told the truth to the emperor - because of her poor health and inability to get pregnant, she tried every means to ask Concubine Hui for this prescription.

However, she didn't know that there was a problem with the prescription. She thought that the child was no different from a normal one. However, she never imagined that the Sixth Prince was born with congenital defects and even faced the risk of premature death.

"Your Majesty, how dare I tell you that Sixth Prince will...

This child is the apple of my eye. I just want to find a way as soon as possible to save him from this suffering.

Unfortunately, after trying every possible method, there was no change at all."

The emperor was even more furious. On the one hand, it was because Concubine Jing was so young, but she could be easily fooled. On the other hand, when he heard the name Concubine Hui, he immediately thought of things that happened in the past.

If Concubine Jing hadn't mentioned it, the Emperor would have even forgotten that Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui were once very good sisters.

"You said you got this recipe from Concubine Hui."

"Yes, Concubine Hui said that both she and Concubine Xu took this prescription for conditioning.

I saw that Concubine Xu got pregnant soon after entering the palace, so I believed that this prescription was useful, so..."

The emperor nodded and raised his hand to signal Concubine Jing to stand up. "Have you given this recipe to anyone else?"

Imperial Concubine Jing shook her head. She was helped to stand up by the palace maid. "I have not given it to anyone else. As for whether Imperial Concubine Hui and Imperial Concubine Xu spread it, I have no idea."

The emperor did not speak, his expression was gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.

But Concubine Jing could actually guess that the emperor was not only worried about the Sixth Prince at this moment, but also about other children in the palace, such as Princess Youning and the Seventh Prince.

There are also Concubine Sheng and Concubine Tian who are currently pregnant. If these children were conceived with the help of this prescription, wouldn’t they all die young?

At this time, Concubine Jing finally regretted it. She regretted not listening to Lingrong's advice and insisting on using that prescription, causing the child to fall into endless torture.

"Give the prescription to Doctor Zhou. The palace has no shortage of medicinal materials and famous doctors. There will always be a way to save the Sixth Prince."

Seeing that the emperor had already spoken, Concubine Jing had no choice but to present the prescription honestly. She wanted to say a few more words to the emperor, but he left first.

He didn't even look at the Sixth Prince and just walked away so ruthlessly and coldly.

As soon as he left Xianfu Palace, the emperor ordered Su Peisheng to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and ask the imperial physicians to visit all the concubines who had children and take the pulses of the princes and princesses.

Before long, the news spread back that the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and older royal heirs such as Shuhe were not affected by the prescription, and the Fifth Prince's physical weakness was only caused by the impact on Concubine Yu during her pregnancy.

Princess Wen Yi's condition was more serious. It was probably because she was taken to Yiku Palace by Concubine Cao many times, which caused her body to be affected by musk. Although she had a very good physique, it was very likely that it would affect her fate of having offspring in the future.

The emperor was naturally aware of Wen Yi's situation. When Concubine Cao was in the mansion, she lived with Nian Shilan. After entering the palace, she often stayed at Nian Shilan's place. She really suffered an unexpected disaster.

"As for Wen Yi, we will slowly treat her. She will not come into contact with dangerous things in the future. With time, she should be able to get better."

Imperial Doctor Zhou nodded and said that Princess Wen Yi's condition was still good and she just needed to be properly taken care of.

"What about Youning? When Concubine Sheng was pregnant with her, she was bitten by a poisonous snake. Did she have any lesions left?"

"Princess Youning is in very good health now. I think it is thanks to Doctor He. After all, he has been taking care of her since she was born."

Imperial Physician Zhou sighed. He Anming was so young, but his medical skills were already among the best in the Imperial Hospital.

Given time, he will surely achieve great things. Doctor Zhou was a little envious, but he still spoke of his achievements very objectively.

"Of course I believe in the medical skills of Dr. He." The emperor looked calm and did not dwell on this matter for too long. "Where is the Seventh Prince? How is he doing?"

"Seventh Prince, his condition is the same as Sixth Prince's." Doctor Zhou looked up at the emperor's expression, which was as serious as expected. "Seventh Prince's condition seems to be much more serious than Sixth Prince's. I think that Concubine Jing must have known about Sixth Prince's physical condition and made adjustments in advance.

But Concubine Chun didn't know the Seventh Prince's health condition, so she took care of him as if he was fine."

"Who is the imperial physician in charge of taking care of the Seventh Prince? Why didn't he inform me and the Queen about this earlier?"

"This...if I remember correctly, it should be the Imperial Doctor Zhang who is in charge of taking care of it.

He is an excellent doctor with rich experience, he should have discovered it long ago."

Zhang Mi was the one who spread those rumors in the Imperial Hospital. When Jiang Fuhai was first interrogated, he pointed out that the mastermind behind the rumors was the Queen.

Now that Zhang Mi has a complicated relationship with the Seventh Prince, there is no guarantee that the Queen is not behind it, telling him not to inform me of the Seventh Prince's health condition.

If this medicine was actually sent out by the Queen... The Emperor closed his eyes and thought about the Queen's various actions in the palace.

Suddenly, the emperor thought of the fact that softness leads to difficult labor. He suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Doctor Zhou, will this medicine cause difficult labor in women?"

"This has a lot to do with the woman's physical condition. If she has ever come into contact with musk or is born with a weak constitution, she is likely to have a difficult delivery.

It’s just that I didn’t check the pulses of Concubine Jing and Concubine Chun when they were pregnant, so I can only make inferences based on the prescription.”

When Rouze was pregnant in the mansion, I asked her younger sister Yixiu to take care of her personally. After all, Yixiu knew some medical skills, and she could take better care of Rouze and her child.

However, they never expected that Rouze's health would become weaker day by day, and no matter how many medicines she took, there was no improvement. She eventually died of dystocia, leaving two lives.

If Rou was pregnant and this prescription was used, then her death was not God's will, but man-made.

Yixiu, ah Yixiu, you are such a cruel person to attack your own sister.

The emperor sighed and decided that it was most important to find out who came up with this prescription.

"Doctor Zhou, please go back to the Imperial Physician and discuss with the other Imperial Physicians to see if there is any way to treat the Sixth and Seventh Princes."

"As you command." Imperial Physician Zhou agreed immediately. The emperor's attitude was a little strange, but he did not test it too much. Instead, he left obediently.

After Doctor Zhou left, the emperor called Su Peisheng and asked him to check the prescription and Concubine Chun.

Su Peisheng acted quickly. He first investigated Suiyuxuan, but did not get any clues. He only heard that the Queen seemed to have given Concubine Chun a prescription and asked her to take the medicine according to the prescription.

During that time, Sui Yuxuan was busy boiling medicine all day long, and the whole place was filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine. When people from other palaces were seen, they were too embarrassed to stop and stay for too long.

Fortunately, Concubine Chun later became pregnant, so there was no need to use the medicine. But Concubine Chun kept a close eye on the prescription, and the ordinary palace maids were completely unaware of it.

Su Peisheng reported the information he had found to the emperor, but since it involved the concubines' private affairs, he could not investigate further.

After all, he was just a servant. Without the emperor's edict, he had no right to interrogate the concubines, nor did he have the right to ask Concubine Chun to hand over the prescription.

Fortunately, the emperor was the most qualified one. After he learned that Concubine Chun used the prescription given by the queen, he went to Suiyuxuan in person.

He told Concubine Chun about the Seventh Prince's condition, not even hiding the fact that he would die young.

When Concubine Chun heard the news, she was so shocked that she fainted. The emperor had to wait in the Suiyuxuan for another hour before she woke up.

However, as soon as Concubine Chun woke up, she cried and wanted to go see the Seventh Prince. The Emperor patiently tried to comfort her with a few words, but she only cried even more pitifully.

Fortunately, Concubine Chun was not stupid. After seeing the obvious impatience on the emperor's face, she slowly stopped crying and asked why the Seventh Prince's health had become like this.

After the emperor mentioned the prescription, Concubine Chun excitedly broke free from the support of the palace maid. She rushed to her couch and took out the prescription.

After comparing the prescription with that of Concubine Jing, it was discovered that they were indeed the same. That was why the conditions of the Seventh Prince and the Sixth Prince were exactly the same.

"This prescription was given to me by the Empress. She said it was a good prescription for conditioning the body. It would not only keep me healthy, but also help me conceive an heir to the throne.

That's the Queen Mother. How could I suspect that there is something wrong with this prescription?

In addition, Imperial Doctor Zhang has also looked at the prescription and did not say that there is anything unusual about it, so I will use the medicine according to the prescription."

Concubine Chun sounded pitiful. She blinked her eyes, with tears hanging in them, about to fall. She looked very charming.

It’s a pity that the emperor was in no mood to do anything romantic with Concubine Tian at this moment. He just wanted to know why the queen was so vicious and intended to harm Concubine Chun and the Seventh Prince.

"Your Majesty... What should we do with the Seventh Prince? Does the Imperial Hospital have any way to treat him?"

"Imperial Physician Zhou and others are discussing it. There will always be a way. Don't be too sad. Just wait for the imperial physician to solve everything."

Concubine Chun rubbed her eyes and wiped away the tears. She looked at the Seventh Prince in the arms of her wet nurse, and the tears that she had just wiped away flowed out again.

"Don't cry, I'll find a way, okay?"

Concubine Chun stopped when she saw that things were going well. She wiped her tears again and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go see the Empress?"

The palace maid Zhixia quietly pulled at Concubine Chun's sleeve. This question was too inappropriate and she was afraid that the Emperor would vent his anger on her young mistress.

Fortunately, the emperor knew that Concubine Chun was in grief and had resentment towards the queen. He responded to Concubine Chun's question, "Be patient and rest in the palace. You have been crying for several hours. Mother and son are connected by heart, so you should also consider the Seventh Prince."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the Seventh Prince burst into tears. His nose was wrinkled and red, and his voice was harsh and pitiful, which made the emperor walk quickly to him and actually pick him up to comfort him.

Concubine Chun was watching from the side, but there was not much worry on her face.

After all, in her eyes, the Seventh Prince was no different from other children. Even though she had carried him for ten months and gave birth to him, she did not develop any more feelings for him.

After all, as soon as he was born, she became the mother of the Seventh Prince, but she was still herself, so why couldn't everyone see her?

Even the nanny who grew up with him kept calling him "Seventh Prince" all the time, which sounded extremely annoying.

Now the emperor is actually like this. He only has eyes for the prince. I am a grown man standing next to him, but I don’t even think about comforting him.

Concubine Chun was lost in thought when the Emperor brought the Seventh Prince over. Concubine Chun took the child stiffly. She didn't know what expression she should have, so she could only forcefully curl up the corners of her mouth and reveal an inappropriate smile.

"I'm going to Jingren Palace. You should have a good rest."

The emperor looked at the Seventh Prince again, then glanced at Concubine Chun meaningfully, and then left with a group of people.

In Jingren Palace, the Queen was so happy when she heard that the Emperor was coming. It happened to be in time for lunch, so she asked someone to carefully prepare the old duck soup. After all, the Emperor liked this soup the most.

"Your Highness, I will take care of this little thing. You should wait for the Emperor in the palace to avoid missing him."

Xiuxia was young and spoke in a mischievous tone. She winked at Huichun and went to the small kitchen without waiting for the Queen's instructions.

"Xiuxia has been serving the Empress for many years, but her temper is still so impetuous." Huichun readjusted the Empress's bun and replaced her hairpin and lip balm according to the Emperor's preferences.

The queen looked at herself in the mirror, who looked younger and younger. She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face. "Xiuxia is not as smart as Jianqiu after all. But Jianqiu lost her life due to a plot, so Xiuxia had to take over."

"She has learned a lot from Jianqiu. The Queen can trust her a little bit." Huichun also looked at the Queen in the mirror. She adjusted the peony behind the Queen's head and said, "My Queen, is this okay?"

The queen looked around at herself in the mirror, put down her hand that was supporting her forehead, picked up the ink on the table and re-drew her eyebrows.

"This eyebrow was specially left by me, how could Your Majesty fill it in yourself?"

"The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs every day. How can he have the time to learn from Zhang Chang to draw eyebrows for his wife?" The queen naturally liked these flatteries, but she still had to maintain her dignity in front of the servants.

"Your Majesty, did you go to Noble Lady Tian's place this morning?"

"Yes, Madam, Concubine Tian replied that the emperor went to Suiyuxuan to see the Seventh Prince and then left."

The Queen nodded. She thought that the Emperor just had no interest in Concubine Chun and had no idea what had happened in Sui Yuxuan.

"My lady, I will go and check the situation in the hall."

Huichun finally finished dressing up the Empress. She was busy cleaning the main hall again to prevent the Empress and the Emperor from being blinded by any dirt.

The queen looked at herself in the mirror again, and after a long while, she sighed inexplicably.
