Chapter 213: Unread Books Must Be Returned Sooner or Later
Concubine Hua looked at Zhou Ninghai, thought for a moment, and asked, "Does the emperor and queen know?"
"Your Majesty, this is the news that An Chang brought back from privately visiting Bao Que." Zhou Ninghai replied in a low voice.
"Songzhi, ask Guizhi to deliver my gift to Chuxiu Palace. Let's go to Yanxi Palace to take a look."
"Yes." Songzhi handed the gift to Guizhi behind her, and she and Zhou Ninghai accompanied Concubine Hua to the Yanx Palace.
According to the imperial physician, Noble Lady Fucha's epidemic illness had never completely improved. However, when the guards of other palaces were withdrawn, the guards of the Yanx Palace were not withdrawn.
It was not until the enthronement ceremony of Concubine Duan and Concubine Hui that the Emperor felt it was unlucky to have guards stationed in the harem, so he withdrew the guards.
The palace maids in the Yanx Palace are still not allowed to enter and leave freely until Noble Lady Fucha recovers completely.
So Concubine Hua entered the Yanx Palace with ease.
Speaking of which, every time I came to the Yanx Palace, it was because Noble Lady Fucha had something to do.
An Lingrong knew that since she had delivered the message, Concubine Hua would definitely come, so she waited at the palace gate early.
As for Baojuan, An Lingrong asked her to work with Sang'er in the backyard to make medicine for Noble Lady Fucha.
Now in the Yanx Palace, Noble Lady Fucha has the highest position and is pregnant with a prince, so as a small concubine, I naturally have to do my part to take care of her.
"Your servant pays respects to Empress Hua." An Lingrong hasn't left the palace for a long time.
Fortunately, Concubine Hua and Miss Sun outside the palace had always been thinking about her. Concubine Hua had also sent her the "Rouge Color" opening invitation before. So An Lingrong finally had something happy in her lonely and boring days.
In addition, Sister Wan and Sister Mei would often ask people to send things in. Although they were just some small things for girls, a box of rouge or some snacks made by Sister Mei, they also comforted An Lingrong's heart which was "forced to be under house arrest".
Sister Mei moved to a new house today, and she had wanted to ask someone to send some gifts over. However, when she thought of the epidemic that was still plaguing Noble Lady Fucha in the palace, she gave up the idea. She had also made a lot of small clothes for Jinghe these days, but had not given them away.
By the way, there is also the young imperial physician Wei Lin. He once used the excuse of coming with Imperial Physician Zhang to see Noble Lady Fucha, and brought in a few easy-to-understand medical books for himself.
The above records the medicinal properties and uses of the original materials used to make spices in detail.
When you are bored during long days, making some spices can really help pass the time.
However, An Lingrong fell into silence for a long time as she looked at those medical books. Although she would ask Wei Lin for some advice on how to use medicinal materials, wasn't it because she was too lazy to look for them in the books that she went to find someone who knew the subject and asked directly?
When did he leave the impression on Doctor Wei that he loved studying medical books?
When Doctor Wei was giving An Lingrong the medical book, his eyes were fixed on the book and he never looked up at her.
An Lingrong felt that Doctor Wei must value this medical book very much. She felt embarrassed to refuse someone who was lending her the thing he valued most.
Never mind. The unread books will have to be returned sooner or later, and the imperial physician also has his own work to do. I can’t let him delay his important work just for a few spices of my own.
When An Lingrong watched Concubine Hua enter the Yanx Palace, she felt like a blooming peony flower suddenly illuminated the gray Yanx Palace.
I really haven't been out for a long time.
"Get up. How come it was you who spread the news?" When Concubine Hua saw that An Lingrong was only followed by Baoque, she went straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, I went to pay my respects to Noble Lady Fucha two days ago. There was no one in the palace at that time, so she quietly mouthed the words 'Hua Fei' to me. I was sure that Noble Lady Fucha wanted to see you, so I passed on the message."
"Also, today I happened to see Noble Lady Fucha's personal maid Sang'er taking Noble Lady Fucha's clothes to wash."
"Didn't Noble Lady Fucha get sick with an epidemic? How dare you get close to her?" Concubine Hua felt that An Lingrong had become more calm in his dealings since she hadn't seen him for a long time.
"Your Majesty may not live in Yanxi Palace and don't know that there are many people in Yanxi Palace who serve Noble Lady Fucha closely. However, from the time Noble Lady Fucha was diagnosed with the epidemic to now, Noble Lady Fucha is the only one in Yanxi Palace who has contracted the epidemic."
An Lingrong told her recent observations, and she found that Baojuan had never told her to be careful about epidemics or other reminders.
During the lockdown, she and Chun often played and made noises in the yard, and Baojuan never stopped them.
Concubine Hua immediately understood the implication of An Lingrong's words.
"I'm going to go see Noble Lady Fucha."
"Yes." An Lingrong accompanied Concubine Hua to the main hall.
As you enter the hall, you are greeted by a strong smell of medicine.
An Lingrong found a way to make everyone in the palace leave, leaving only Noble Lady Fucha lying on the sickbed.
Noble Lady Fucha was not asleep. She heard a noise outside, opened her eyes and saw Concubine Hua who looked quite energetic.
The originally lifeless eyes suddenly gleamed with hope.
"My queen, please save my child."
Noble Lady Fucha was talking about saving the child, not saving herself.
"How is your health?" Hua Fei asked calmly.
"I...I have not contracted the epidemic." Noble Lady Fucha's voice was weak, her face was pale, and she lay flat on the bed, looking thin.
Even the pregnant belly doesn't seem as big as in normal months.
If you count carefully, Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant during the Chinese New Year, and she is now more than six months pregnant, almost seven months.
But it seems that the raised arc is a bit small.
"Then how could you do that?" Concubine Hua frowned.
Come to think of it, the emperor and so many concubines were present that day, and Zhang Mi made the diagnosis from the inner room, saying with concern that Noble Lady Fucha had contracted an epidemic.
That day, not only Zhang Mi was there, but also the two brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen.
"I don't know. After I had a high fever that day, I never had a high fever again. But I heard from Sister An that palace maids who have contracted the epidemic will have repeated high fevers."
The Yanx Palace, which was sealed off due to the epidemic, was like an isolated island. Since the day of the seal, Noble Lady Fucha had been sometimes lucid and sometimes confused for seven days.
At that time, she also thought she was suffering from an epidemic.
But as time went on, she felt something was wrong.
I only had a high fever for a while, and all the drowsiness I felt afterwards was not caused by fever.
But Zhang Mi still took medicine according to the prescription for treating epidemics. He drank bowl after bowl of medicine, but there was no sign of improvement in his health.
In the past few days, Noble Lady Fucha felt a slight chill in her lower abdomen, and today there was even some bleeding from her lower body.
Even though Noble Lady Fucha was intentionally wary of Sang'er, she saw that Sang'er had already taken off the sachet on her body. She wanted to be on guard, but she didn't know where the Queen had gone.
What's more, although he knew that Sang'er was the maid specially arranged for him by the Queen, when he entered the palace that day, the Fucha family took refuge with the Queen, so such a thing could not be exposed to the public.
Sonny plotted against her, and there was no direct evidence to point out that the person behind Sonny was the Queen.
Now, I have been bedridden for a long time. Not to mention avenging my previous child, I am afraid that I can’t even keep the baby in my belly.
Fortunately, An Lingrong will come to visit me in the next few days. I thought back to the day when I encountered a ghost in the Imperial Garden and fainted, it was An Lingrong who asked someone to take me back to the Yanxi Palace.
Noble Lady Fucha just wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect Concubine Hua to really come.
Concubine Hua and An Lingrong listened quietly to Noble Lady Fucha's intermittent narration of her experiences during this period.
An Lingrong felt that Noble Lady Fucha was even more pitiful than herself, as she was actually schemed against by the Queen to such an extent.
