Chapter 128 Complaints
Zhen Huan took out the letter from home, quickly glanced through it, and folded it silently.
In the letter, his father said that he and his mother were doing well, his sister was lively and clever, and asked her to take good care of herself.
The concern revealed between the lines made Zhen Huan's eyes tear up.
She has parents and sister behind her, so how could she push the emperor away because of a momentary impulse?
Zhen Huan practiced a few pieces of calligraphy in the study. Gradually calming down, she began to analyze the situation in the harem.
The Empress, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ke, and Concubine Hui are all pregnant. Concubine Duan and Concubine Chun are recuperating from illness and are unable to leave the house. Concubine Cao is wholeheartedly taking care of Princess Wen Yi, and Concubine Jing is old and out of favor.
The only ones who could serve the emperor in bed were Concubine Hua, Huanbi, and Roudaying.
Zhen Huan hesitated for less than a moment before she ordered Liu Zhu to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Wen Shichu.
"Your Majesty, there is a small amount of musk remaining in your body. I will prescribe a prescription for you to treat it."
There was no one guarding the door, so Wen Shichu respectfully reported.
"Okay, then we have Dr. Lawrence."
"Huan'er, are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Meizhuang, who walked in holding Caiyue's hand, asked with concern, her eyes cast on Wen Shichu who was kneeling on the ground.
Zhen Huan walked forward and pulled the person to the edge of the couch, signaling Liu Zhu who followed in to serve tea.
"Sister Mei, I haven't recovered yet. Please ask Doctor Wen to come and treat me."
Seeing that the two wanted to chat, Wen Shichu tactfully took his leave. Bai Zhi, who was guarding outside the door, followed behind to get the medicine.
"Some nourishing food was sent from home. I packed some for Huan'er. You can ask the kitchen to stew some to nourish your body."
Shen Meizhuang sincerely hoped that she would recover soon.
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Mei. Huan'er will definitely recover soon."
The two talked for a while, and Shen Meizhuang saw that Zhen Huan seemed unaffected by Huanbi's sleeping with her.
Feeling a little sleepy, she took Zhen Huan's hand and said, "Huan'er, I know you have the Emperor in your heart. Please listen to my advice and go to his bed as soon as possible."
To the harem, the emperor is a hot commodity.
Not only is Huanbi, who lives in the same palace, eyeing her covetously, but other concubines are also always keeping an eye on her.
"Sister Mei, I will listen to you and will never get angry and chase the emperor away again next time."
Seeing Shen Meizhuang yawning, she gave some considerate advice.
"Sister Mei is tired, how about taking a rest in the inner room?"
"Huan'er, I've become a bit attached to my bed lately, even when I return to Chuxiu Palace."
Zhen Huan accompanied Shen Meizhuang to the door.
Huanbi, hiding behind the window, looked at the two people saying goodbye with a smile, and felt sad in her heart.
When she was in the Zhen Mansion, she had witnessed her elder sister playing and fighting with Shen Meizhuang countless times. Asked by her father to keep her identity a secret, she could only envy them from the side.
Now that her elder sister knows her identity, she can still only watch from afar.
Fubao accidentally saw the envy that was about to overflow from her eyes, and pretended to be ignorant.
"My lady, the sisterly bond between Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui is unique in the harem."
"No matter how many ups and downs they've experienced, their friendship has never changed."
"Looking at how close they are, it's impossible for others to get in between them."
Huanbi couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.
"Fubao, I'm not feeling well and want to rest."
Huanbi was lying on the bed, stroking her belly expectantly. If she had a child, her father and elder sister would surely be happy for her.
Xu time, Yangxin Palace.
The emperor, upset, put down the memorial and waved to Su Peisheng.
"Go and call my seventeenth brother to me."
"The slave obeys the order."
Prince Guo is a bohemian man who likes to travel and enjoy the scenery. His master despises such people the most and doesn't know why he called him here.
Although Su Peisheng complained in his heart, he still ordered someone to quickly summon Prince Guo into the palace.
"My royal brother, you summoned me here so late at night. What are your instructions?"
The emperor casually pointed to the chair beside the table.
Prince Guo sat down and picked up the teacup.
"So my brother couldn't sleep late at night and wanted to have some tea with someone."
The sullen emperor finally responded, speaking in frustration.
"Don't mention it. You'll be kicked out wherever you go."
He never mentioned staying in Zhongcui Palace and the side hall of Suiyuxuan.
"Brother Emperor, you have three palaces and six courtyards, who is so bold as to..."
"I have three palaces and six courtyards, but I just want to go to the Suiyuxuan, but I was pushed out by all sorts of obstacles."
"Wanpin said that she has not recovered yet, so I can't even take a second look at her."
The smile on Prince Guo's face paused, then returned to normal in an instant.
"What Concubine Wan said is correct. She is indeed thinking about the emperor's brother."
The emperor sighed softly.
"I know she's right, but..."
Since Concubine Shu could not sleep with him, he wanted Huan'er, whom he cared about, to become pregnant with the dragon fetus as soon as possible.
But this cannot be said directly.
"You don't know how stubborn Wanpin is. Just for that unfortunate child, she refused to see me during her confinement period."
"I finally got into the Broken Jade Pavilion, but they kept trying to stop me from staying."
When the emperor thought about it, he instantly felt that the gentle Concubine Shu was very good.
"This little girl..."
Prince Guo replied with a smile.
"Royal brother, but this little girl is more attractive."
"Who says people who haven't married a wife know nothing?"
The emperor glanced at Su Peisheng and pointed at the person opposite him and joked.
Su Peisheng, who was called, smiled and nodded.
Prince Guo took a sip of tea and couldn't help but sigh.
"I have been by your side for so many years, and apart from Empress Chunyuan, I have never heard you speak of any other woman in this way."
My concubine is respectful and obedient, and never causes trouble for me.
The emperor continued thinking this.
“No matter how complicated and difficult the government affairs are, there are always a thousand things to think about.”
"But if a smart woman starts to calculate, it will cause more trouble than the government affairs."
"So a woman who is not smart but obedient is the cutest."
The face of Concubine Shu appeared in the emperor's mind again.
Prince Guo didn't know what he remembered, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile.
"But being cute doesn't necessarily mean being loved."
The emperor's frown softened, "I really didn't ask the wrong person to have tea with you."
Prince Guo placed his hands on the table and made a sincere suggestion.
"Since my royal brother likes Wanpin, let's take it slow."
"Princess Wan is still hung up on the loss of her son. My Royal Highness, why don't you try to accommodate her a little?"
After sending Prince Guo away, the emperor tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
He sat up suddenly, startling the dozing Su Peisheng.
"Your Majesty, are you still awake?"
"Isn't it daylight yet?"
"It's almost three o'clock in the morning. It will be dawn in two hours."
"Go and find out if there's anything special going on at Wanpin's Suiyuxuan recently."
Su Peisheng, who received the order, hurried out and randomly selected a young eunuch.
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask if Concubine Wan from Suiyuxuan has hired a royal physician recently?"
Who knew that after hearing his words, the young eunuch fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.
"Please spare my life, Master Su. I did accept money from Aunt Cui Jinxi of Suiyuxuan. Please inform the emperor as soon as possible about Concubine Wan's invitation to the imperial physician."
But before he could do anything, he was discovered by the powerful Master Su.
How could he not be frightened?
Su Peisheng ordered his men to drag away the young eunuch who was kneeling and begging for mercy.
Sighing, she returned to her room. Wanpin was really lucky.
The ignorant little eunuch shouted it out in front of so many people, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
When the emperor learned about this after his morning court session, he went straight to Suiyuxuan without even changing out of his court clothes.
