Yinzhen stayed patiently beside Concubine Hua.

As for Yixiu, he forgot about her after not visiting her for a while.

Concubine Hua leaned on Yinzhen with her head slightly drooped.

Her eyebrows were curved and her lips were curled.

San Dezi hurried in, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Internal Affairs wants to see you."

Yinzhen went to the outer room and met the Grand Secretary.

"Your Majesty, my guards just reported that the eldest prince and his wife have left the palace, and they are going to ask the imperial physician for the Empress."

Yinzhen frowned, "The queen is also ill, where is the imperial physician? Why did you go out of the palace to invite one?"

As soon as Yinzhen asked this question, he subconsciously glanced at Concubine Hua's room.

There are two to three imperial doctors on duty every day, and they are all here with Concubine Hua.

"Go back and guard the palace gates. Report to me as soon as the eldest prince returns."

After saying this, Yinzhen was about to leave Yikun Palace.

He paused, "Su Peisheng, bring a doctor with you to go with me."

Not long after Yinzhen left Yikun Palace, his road was blocked.

"Su Peisheng, what's going on?"

Su Peisheng went to check and came back to say, "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Wan."

"She was going to Jingren Palace to visit the Empress, but the sedan chair broke down halfway, so it stopped in front, blocking the way."

While Su Peisheng was speaking, Rouze had already arrived.

"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

Yinzhen's eyes fell on her face.

"Are you going to visit the Queen?"

"In reply to your Majesty, the Empress is ill now and there is no doctor available. I am concerned about her, so I want to go and see her."

Yinzhen didn't expect that Rouze also knew that Yixiu didn't have an imperial physician.

"How did you know that the queen had no imperial physician?"

Rouze said, "I met Aunt Jianqiu earlier. Aunt Jianqiu went to the Imperial Hospital but failed to get a doctor. So she wanted to go to Concubine Hua to get a doctor. However, the maidservant next to Concubine Hua was very arrogant and insisted that Aunt Jianqiu go outside the palace to get a doctor."

"I left Yikun Palace with Aunt Jianqiu."

Rouze put the blame on Concubine Hua in just a few words.

Obviously she herself messed up the situation.

As expected, Yinzhen's face looked slightly gloomy.

-----------------

Yixiu lay in bed for a long time, and the lights in Jingren Palace were on.

Xiu Xia was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. "My queen, even though it's an old problem, we can't just ignore it."

"Xiu Xia is right. Since this is already an old problem of the Empress Dowager, it is better to cure it once and for all, so as to avoid it from happening again in the future."

The people in the room turned around and saw Honghui striding towards them, with Nian Shilan following behind him.

Honghui half-knelt in front of Yixiu.

"My Queen Mother, how are you doing?"

Yixiu's gaze lingered on the brothers Wen Xumo and Wen Shichu who were standing behind them.

"It's nothing, I just had a headache again. It was very severe at first, but now that I've been lying down for a while and seeing you guys, I feel a lot better."

Yixiu could tell Yinzhen how serious her illness was, but she was unwilling to tell Honghui so as to prevent him from worrying too much about her.

"Empress Dowager, I have invited Doctor Wen," Honghui hurriedly asked Wen Xumo to come over to check on Yixiu's condition. "Empress Hua treated you so badly, and I can only do this little thing for you. I am really useless."

"You have already invited the imperial physician for me."

Yixiu's smile is gentle and kind.

Honghui said: "Empress Hua is too arrogant. The emperor doesn't care at all. Besides, the emperor hasn't come to Jingren Palace recently."

Yixiu originally wanted to say that her affair with Concubine Hua had nothing to do with Honghui.

But thinking that Honghui would ascend the throne in the future, she finally spoke up, "The fact that Concubine Hua dared to act like this recently was also approved by your father."

"Lord Longkodo assisted your father in ascending the throne, and Concubine Hua is the daughter of Lord Longkodo and the niece of Queen Tongjia."

"Your father is very considerate and also remembers some old feelings. It is reasonable for him to be more indulgent towards her."

Yixiu looked at Honghui, and his eyes became disappointed.

She changed the subject, “However, your father naturally does not only consider the old relationship. As his son, you should be able to see his plan.”

Honghui reacted after a little thought.

This is probably what the teacher taught us as the "art of ruling the country".

We can also get a glimpse of this from history books.

The Emperor needed Longkodo's assistance, but did not want to give them too much power.

Therefore, he had to pamper Hua Fei to make Longkodo feel at ease.

But there is a term in this world called "praising to death". The Emperor's favor for Concubine Hua was like praising her to death. He praised her highly, and then when he wanted to take action against Longkodo and his daughter one day, he would let her fall heavily.

Honghui feels that he still has a long way to go.

However, using the concubines in the harem in this way was really a betrayal of their love for him. Honghui never thought that he would let Nian Shilan down one day.

How could he be worthy of her if he did such a thing?

Honghui felt that a man’s battlefield should be in the court, not in the harem.

After Wen Xumo gave Yixiu acupuncture, Yixiu's headache gradually subsided.

Her head didn't hurt as much anymore.

"Thank you so much for today."

Wen Xumo felt a little disappointed. After so many years, Yixiu was still so polite to him.

"I will stay in the palace on duty for the next period of time. Your Majesty, please ask Miss Jianqiu to come to me whenever you need me."

Yixiu said: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Why should we talk about hardship between you and me?" Wen Xumo blurted out.

As soon as he said this, Wen Xumo realized that he had crossed the line. He looked at Yixiu, but saw that there was nothing unusual on Yixiu's face. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed again.

Yixiu was reborn once, as if he had become an immortal who had cultivated the way of ruthlessness.

She didn't understand Wen Xumo's thoughts and never paid attention to them.

Although in her heart she still considered Wen Xumo a friend.

"Alright, let's try to cure this headache of mine at once."

After Yixiu's headache eased, they all left.

Jianqiu looked at Yixiu, and her pale face regained some color. She said, "Your Majesty, tell me, Concubine Hua is so arrogant. Are we all going to..."

"Hua Fei just had a miscarriage and her body hasn't recovered yet. It's normal for her to be a little nervous."

Yixiu interrupted Jianqiu.

"Don't say such things anymore. She is a person who has lost her child. We should be more understanding and tolerant of her."

Yixiu caught a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of her eye.

She added, "But we must find a way to prevent things like today from happening again. Today, I just had a headache, and I can still bear it. But what if Hongli, Hongzhou, Yongjia and others get sick in the future?"

"This kind of thing will never happen again."

As soon as Yixiu finished speaking, Yinzhen's voice rang out.

He continued Yixiu's words.

Yixiu hurriedly got out of bed, "Silang."

There are many surprises in Yixiu’s Call.

But she soon changed her tune.

"emperor."

When Yinzhen heard Yixiu take back the title of Silang, he felt a little uncomfortable, but when he saw Yixiu's drooping brows, he finally sighed.

It was he who neglected Yixiu for so long.

That's not Yixiu's fault.

He was being paranoid and actually thought there was something going on between Yixiu and Yunli.

"I still like to hear you call me Shiro."

Yixiu gave a faint smile.

"Shiro."

Only then was Yinzhen satisfied.

He sat down next to Yixiu and held her hand.

"Xiaoyi, I have been too busy recently and have not come to see you."
