The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family

"Your Majesty, the pulse of the nobleman in the inner hall is actually..."

She was halfway through her words when she saw a young eunuch walk into the hall and say, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the Prince of Ningguo are here."

"Oh?" Emperor Xuanwu seemed puzzled, but soon he chuckled and said, "Oh, you came so quickly."

"Tell them to come in."

Shen Qiyin subconsciously looked towards the door and saw Xiao Yan following a palace concubine into the hall.

Unlike the Imperial Concubine's extraordinary charm, Concubine Yi's appearance was not particularly outstanding. Instead of using words like "beautiful" or "pretty" to describe her, it would be more appropriate to use "cute".

It was the first time that Shen Qiyin saw such pure and clear eyes in someone of her age.

She has almond-shaped eyes.

And he has a baby face.

The palace dress she wore was not as complicated and gorgeous as the imperial concubine's. It was light in color and plain in style. There were only two pink flowers in her hair, and no other jewelry.

Even so, she was sitting next to the Imperial Concubine and was not overshadowed by the other party's brilliance.

Shen Qiyin was so engrossed in watching that he even forgot to look away.

until--

A slender figure stood next to her, blocking her view exactly.

Shen Qiyin turned around in a daze and met Xiao Yan's obscure gaze.

She came back to her senses instantly!

She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she always felt that the look in his eyes just now was not very "friendly".

Besides, Emperor Xuanwu seemed very happy to see Concubine Yi, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, how come you two aunt and nephew are here together today?"

Concubine Yi glanced at Shen Qiyin and said meaningfully, "I'm here to see Hanyu's sweetheart."

Upon hearing this, Miss Shen's heart couldn't help but tremble.

She stole a glance at Xiao Yan's reaction, but saw that he looked stern, dignified and steady, unlike when he was facing her, when his face easily blushed.

"So this girl is Han Yu's sweetheart." The Imperial Concubine suddenly spoke up and said, "She is quite pretty, but her family background is a bit too low."

Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Sister, why don't you quickly ask His Majesty to raise this girl's status?"

Hearing this, the smile on the Imperial Concubine's face faded immediately: "...Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you have your own considerations in mind."

"We can discuss this later." Compared to this, Emperor Xuanwu was obviously more concerned about the issue of the royal heir: "Yun'an, go on, what is the pulse of the person in the inner hall?"

Xiao Yan suddenly said, "Report the truth. Don't be afraid."

To be honest, his words do make people feel at ease.

Nodding slightly, she opened her lips and said, "To reply to your majesty, it is a pregnancy pulse."

But then, she suddenly changed the subject: "However, it was a false impression of pregnancy created by drugs. In fact, I am not pregnant."

For some reason, when Emperor Xuanwu heard Shen Qiyin say that the woman's pregnancy was fake, he was overjoyed: "Are you sure?"

"determine."

"Great!" Emperor Xuanwu stood up excitedly: "As expected of you, you are worthy of the reputation of 'miracle doctor'!"

"There is another person. I also want you to check her pulse."

"……Yes."

She seemed to know why His Majesty summoned her into the palace.

When Shen Qiyin took the pulse of a woman hiding behind the veil again, his guess was completely confirmed.

This time, the woman was truly pregnant.

I think that the previous incident with Concubine Li left a thorn in His Majesty's side. Now that another woman in the harem is suffering from morning sickness, he dare not believe whether the pregnancy pulse is real or not.

So he asked someone to take the fake pregnancy drug so that the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau could identify the cause.

It's just that they have little experience in this area and didn't notice any difference.

Qin Li took this opportunity to push himself out.

He must have thought that since so many experts in the Imperial Hospital could not diagnose anything, he certainly could not see anything either. If he really reported the pregnancy to His Majesty, it would be natural for him to use the power of the Imperial Concubine to punish him for deceiving the emperor.

really!

When Shen Qiyin reported the pulse condition to Emperor Xuanwu, Qin Li immediately jumped out and said, "Oh, the genius doctor is really capable. I just don't know how you made the diagnosis?"

Shen Qiyin glanced at him with a half-smile and asked, "Does this eunuch also know the art of Qi Huang?"

"No, I don't understand."

"Then what are you asking?" Shen Qiyin's tone was gentle, but her words were like a needle hidden in cotton: "Can you understand what I'm saying?"

"puff--"

Concubine Yi burst out laughing.

Besides, Qin Li was stunned by this sentence, and then he immediately nodded and apologized: "It's my fault for talking too much, it's my fault for talking too much."

His reaction was a bit over the top.

He simply relied on the saying "You have to look at the owner before beating the dog", so he deliberately lowered his posture, hoping that the imperial concubine would feel that her dignity was challenged and stand up for him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly said, "You know you are talking too much, but why don't you slap me?"

After these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent.

Until Emperor Xuanwu said in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear what the prince said?"

"...I will beat you right away, right away." As he said this, he hurriedly put down the whisk in his hand, and slapped himself more than ten times on both sides.

He's already this age, and he can't bear it to some extent.

I started to see stars in front of my eyes.

From beginning to end, the imperial concubine didn't say a single word.

When Emperor Xuanwu called for a halt, Shen Qiyin did not give him a chance to defend himself and took the lead to explain: "Your Majesty, the pulse after taking the medicine is very similar to the pulse of happiness. It is not possible for Yun An to explain the difference in a few words. Otherwise, the doctors in the Imperial Hospital would not have confused the two pulses."

"However, there is a method that may allow Your Majesty to more intuitively identify the two pulse conditions."

Emperor Xuanwu was full of admiration and said, "Tell me about it."

"I once heard from my master that there is a kind of flower petals, and its juice can be mixed into medicine. If a pregnant woman takes it, there is no harm, but if a person who is falsely pregnant takes it, she will vomit uncontrollably."

"What kind of flower is it?"

"The Rain-Listening Orchid is a species that is unique to Yongzhou."

Others were not surprised by what he said, but Qin Li's face suddenly froze.

Listening to the rain orchid is a new flower variety specially cultivated by gardeners in honor of his wife's coming of age.

The flowers are brightly colored and delicate in shape, and were deeply loved by His Majesty and the ladies in the palace. Later, they were chosen for use in the palace.

But Shangjing is not like Yongzhou, where the four seasons are like spring and the climate is humid and warm. The four seasons here are distinct, so as soon as autumn comes, the listening to rain orchids will wither.

Although it can be reversed by human power, Emperor Xuanwu believed that the changes of all things have their own reasons, and there is no need to waste so much manpower and resources for a scenic spot. Therefore, it is difficult to find this flower at this time of year.

But...

He has it at his house!

Qin Li's eyes were filled with frustration.

This flower was originally presented to the emperor, and later selected for imperial use. Although there is no express ban on its cultivation elsewhere, usually no one dares to plant it.

He just secretly planted one plant in the greenhouse.

The Thousand Eagle Guards led by Prince Xiao supervise all parts of the court on behalf of Your Majesty. Your Majesty may not be unaware of the situation in his own palace, but he did not publicize it in a high-profile manner. Your Majesty probably would not punish him for such a small matter, so he turned a blind eye.

But the problem now is that His Majesty needs that flower to make medicine. If he takes it out directly, it would be telling the world what he has done. If anyone wants to make things difficult for him, they will definitely fail.

But if you don’t take it…

Will Your Majesty be able to forgive me in the future?

It's a death sentence anyway.

Qin Li was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He couldn't help but wonder, how did this girl know that Yu Lan was in his house? !

Or is this all just a coincidence?

While Qin Li was lost in thought, he heard Emperor Xuanwu say, "There are flowers in the palace, but they have all withered since autumn. If we send someone to Yongzhou right away, it will take at least a month to return."

"But after a long journey, I'm afraid the flowers will no longer be fresh and affect the efficacy of the medicine." Shen Qiyin said thoughtfully: "It would be great if there were ready-made ones in Shangjing City."

"It's unlikely." Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up, his voice cold and solemn, "The flower was originally presented to the emperor, and then it was chosen for the emperor's use. I'm afraid no one would dare to do such a disrespectful thing."

Finally, he said to Emperor Xuanwu: "But this is about the succession to the throne, so we can't be careless. I ask for your permission to search the whole city, maybe there will be something to be gained."

After hearing this, Qin Li almost lost his soul.

He didn't care about the charge of "disrespect" that Xiao Yan had just given him. He just knelt on the ground and pleaded tremblingly: "I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"What's the crime?"

"…In reply to your Majesty, I have a Ting Yu Lan plant at home." Qin Li knelt on the ground with his butt sticking out, knocking his head loudly: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of disrespecting you. I just happened to pick up a stump, and thought it would be a pity to just throw it away, so I was blinded by greed and brought it back home to plant it."

"I didn't expect that I would actually survive."

"I failed to report this matter to the Imperial Concubine and Your Majesty in time. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine also stood up and apologized: "Your Majesty is very clear, I didn't know about this either, otherwise I would never allow him to do this."

Emperor Xuanwu did not blame her, but just waved his hand and asked her to sit down first.

He did not punish Qin Li, but said, "Send someone to fetch Ting Yulan first."

A young eunuch received the order and left quickly.

Shen Qiyin stood there expressionlessly, and no one could tell that she was deceiving the emperor!

That thing about using Ting Yu Lan as medicine to test whether one is pregnant is true or not, it is totally nonsense she made up.

In fact, you don't need that flower at all.

All you need is a herb called "Yunjiancao", and you can pick a handful of this herb on any hill.

The reason why she said that was because she had dreamed in the dream that Sanwa was in the Qin Mansion that the reason why this immortal old man raised a listening to rain orchid was because the flower could be used to make medicine that could arouse people's passion.

That medicine was all used on her junior fellow apprentice!

She will settle this account with Qin Li one by one!

As for deceiving the king...

She wasn't afraid at all.

After all, the man standing next to her dared to kill even the prince, so what if she lied?

Just make it round again.

Emperor Xuanwu sent out two groups of people in total.

A group of people went to Qin's house to get the Ting Yu Lan.

The other group went to Guangrentang to get Shen Qiyin's medicine box and the necessary medicinal materials she wrote down.

She wrote a bunch.

But except for the cloud arrow grass, the others are just decoys.

Taught personally by her master, she deliberately wrote the prescription to look like ghost paintings to ensure that others could not understand it, but her fellow disciples knew it at a glance.

Everything was ready, so she pretended to prepare two bowls of medicine and gave them to the two women respectively. Sure enough, the pregnant woman was safe and sound, while the one who was faking pregnancy kept vomiting.

Emperor Xuanwu was overjoyed.

Although Shen Qiyin was so bold as to deceive the emperor, she was not reckless. She immediately tried to make amends for herself afterwards, saying, "Your Majesty, this method was passed down by my master. Without his permission, it is inconvenient to make it public."

"Besides, Tingyulan is not easy to obtain. Even if there is a prescription, it is difficult to use it as medicine."

"In addition, there are many medicinal materials needed, and the dosage must be strictly controlled. I am afraid that even if we tell the masters of the Imperial Hospital, they will find it difficult to grasp it for the time being. If there is a mistake, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss."

"However, recently, my senior brothers and I have developed a new prescription that has some clues. Once it is finally confirmed, we can present it to Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuanwu was very satisfied with her approach and kept nodding his head in praise of her: "The medical community is like a warm spring, and medical ethics are profound. It is nothing more than this."

Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is that all you want to do?"

"How could it be!" Emperor Xuanwu didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly looked at Xiao Yan with a meaningful smile and asked him, "How should I reward him, Yi Hanyu?"

No one else would dare to say it.

But Xiao Yan had a kind of "if you dare to ask, I dare to answer", and directly said: "Money, power."

Emperor Xuanwu: “…” It sounds familiar.

Money is fine, but this power...

He just conferred the title of Lady of the Country on this girl, and it hasn't even been a month yet, so it wouldn't be a good idea to confer the title again.

So he said, "Well, I will give you some golden melon seeds today, and when the prescription is delivered to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow, I will give you and your brothers and sisters a reward together. What do you think?"

Shen Qiyin was of course happy to do so and quickly thanked him.

Emperor Xuanwu was smiling, and although he had the air of an emperor, he was also unusually kind.

until--

He looked at Qin Li, with a smile on his face but a cold look in his eyes, and said, "You planted the Rain Orchid privately, which may be disrespectful, but it is this flower of yours that has solved my urgent need."

"Ordinarily, you shouldn't be punished again."

"But you are someone close to the Imperial Concubine, and she has the power to assist in managing the six palaces. If she lets you go, I'm afraid she will be cursed..."

These words forced Qin Li to apologize himself.

He gritted his teeth and said, "...In order to prove the Royal Concubine's innocence, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Yes." Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said, "Since you are old, I will not impose a heavy punishment on you. I will only dismiss you from your position as the chief eunuch."

"By the way, don't you like flowers? How about doing some flower tending work in the Imperial Garden in the future?"

"Minion, Minion..."

Qin Li forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, but before he could finish his words, he fainted on the spot as if he couldn't bear the blow.

Don't say he was shocked.

Shen Qiyin was also very surprised.

She thought that His Majesty would punish Qin Li, but she also wondered, after all, because of the Imperial Concubine's face, maybe it would just be a light punishment to warn him. Who knew that he would be dismissed from his post in one fell swoop!

No wonder everyone loves fame and fortune, these are real good things.

All the way out of the palace by Xiao Yan, Shen Qiyin was immersed in the beautiful dream that he would be powerful in the future and she would follow him to "borrow the power of the tiger" and couldn't extricate herself.

It was not until they got into the carriage and he pulled her into his arms that she finally came to her senses.

Then she felt a warm touch on the side of her neck, which made her frown slightly: "Hiss——" What is he doing? !
