The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 177 Testing Liu Bin, asking Ling Rong for help

"I haven't felt as nauseous as before in the past two days."

Shen Meizhuang pretended to be worried and looked at Liu Bin and asked.

Liu Bin's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips and explained, "Everyone's physique is different. It's normal for the young master not to vomit."

"Besides, you have used the prescription for prenatal care. Your health is naturally getting better and better. Don't worry too much."

"I feel relieved when you say that."

Shen Meizhuang said with a faint smile.

She seemed to be visibly relaxed, and then changed the subject, saying, "But everyone around me said that one month into pregnancy is the time for morning sickness, and I didn't expect that I would be so lucky."

"My young master is in good health, so he will get better soon."

Liu Bin originally thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Shen Meizhuang to still have doubts. This made him, who was already feeling guilty, even more afraid to look into Shen Meizhuang's eyes.

"I think the young lady will definitely give birth to a well-behaved and sensible little prince for the emperor."

Liu Bin casually wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke in a flattering tone.

"That would be the best. If I can give birth to a child successfully, you will also benefit. But if something goes wrong with my pregnancy, I'm afraid you, as the imperial physician who took care of it, will not be able to escape responsibility."

"do you think so?"

"Mr. Liu."

Shen Meizhuang looked at Liu Bin with a smile on her face, her tone full of warning.

This actually made Liu Bin relax. It seemed that Shen Meizhuang didn't find any problems and was just giving him a warning.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will do my best to take care of your baby."

Liu Bin lowered his head and revealed a barely perceptible smile.

After doing this, he could take the things given by Concubine Hua and run away, and live a relaxing and comfortable life.

If Concubine Hua had not threatened him with her family, he would not have done such a serious thing that could result in his death.

After all, if they obey Concubine Hua, there is still a glimmer of hope. If they don't, I'm afraid their family will not survive the day.

"Caiyue, go and get the hawthorn cake that father sent to the palace and bring it to Doctor Liu."

Shen Meizhuang frowned slightly, looked at Caiyue and said.

Caiyue nodded, turned around and took the box of hawthorn cake.

"This hawthorn cake is obviously the work of Master Qi Shunzhai. Thank you for your grace, my lord. I can now taste the flavor of my hometown."

Liu Bin looked at the hawthorn cake in the box, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He had been away from his hometown for several years and really missed the taste.

"Qi Shun Zhai has stopped making pastries a few years ago, but my father saw that I liked their pastries, so he specially invited the chef to come to the mansion to make pastries specifically for me."

"And Doctor Liu, didn't you just come to the palace in the past six months? How come you didn't know that Qi Shunzhai was no longer in operation?"

Shen Meizhuang sneered in her heart but did not show it on her face. She pretended to be confused and asked.

"Um, I made a slip of the tongue. I hope you will forgive me."

Liu Bin quickly began to explain, carefully watching the expression on Shen Meizhuang's face. Seeing that the other party seemed to believe what he said, he reluctantly let go of his heart.

"It's nothing, just a little thing."

Shen Meizhuang said with a faint smile.

"If you have no other instructions, I will leave first."

Liu Bin really didn't want to stay any longer. He was afraid that if he revealed something, Shen Meizhuang would find out.

"Take care, Imperial Doctor Liu. Fuling will see you off."

He raised his eyes and looked at Fuling who was standing in the hall. After the two exchanged glances, he retreated with peace of mind.

Shen Meizhuang looked at the quarrel between Fuling and Liu Bin and had some guesses in her mind.

Could it be that Poria cocos is also part of Concubine Hua’s plan?

Yes, I loved drinking sour things so much at that time, and there happened to be a maid who knew how to make sour plum soup. In this case, how could I not value her?

What a good calculation.

Shen Meizhuang's eyes darkened, and before Fuling came back, she suppressed the anger on her face and pretended that she hadn't noticed anything.

On this side, Zhen Huan came to where An Lingrong lived.

"Sister, are you embroidering?"

"This embroidered Qilin is so majestic. My sister's craftsmanship is really extraordinary."

As soon as Zhen Huan entered the palace, she saw An Lingrong embroidering with great concentration, and she didn't even notice her arrival.

"Why are you here, sister? Come and sit down. Why didn't you remind me that sister Chuntao was here? Why don't you go and serve tea to sister?"

An Lingrong quickly put down her needle and thread, stood up, looked at Zhen Huan and said with a smile.

"I just have nothing to do, so I embroider to kill time."

"My sister's craftsmanship is so vivid that if she is just killing time, I wonder what it will look like if she is serious about embroidering."

Zhen Huan joked with a smile.

"My sister always teases me."

"Lingrong has nothing, but she has inherited this embroidery skill from my mother. Now that Sister Xuan has given birth to a little prince, I don't know what to give her, so I can only embroider a bellyband for the little prince myself."

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan and spoke.

She knew very well that Zhen Huan was a person who would not come to her place unless there was something important. Normally, she and Shen Meizhuang seldom came to her place. Now that she came here suddenly, she must have something to talk to me about.

But since the other party was not in a hurry to speak, she didn't mind practicing Tai Chi with him.

Anyway, she won’t be the one who is anxious.

"Concubine Xuan is really lucky. She won the emperor's favor as soon as she entered the palace. She was the first one among us to sleep with him, the first one to get pregnant, and the first one to give birth to a child safely."

Zhen Huan couldn't help but sigh that Fu Cha Zhixi had been so smooth sailing all her life. Now that she had a prince by her side, her future life would probably be even more comfortable and relaxed.

"Sister Xuanfei is kind-hearted, so naturally she has such good luck. Sister is also a kind person. I think I will hear good news from her soon."

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan and teased her.

"You, can you say these things casually?"

Zhen Huan glanced at An Lingrong coquettishly and said a little embarrassedly.

But she really thought so in her heart. Now she was the one who received the most favor in the harem, so she thought that good news would come soon.

"Sister, are you shy?"

"What is there to be ashamed of? Giving birth to children for the Emperor is what we concubines should do. Sister is so favored by the Emperor, it is only a matter of time before she becomes pregnant. I am still waiting for good news from her."

Seeing that Zhen Huan was very shy, An Lingrong could not help but shook her head and intensified her teasing.

"Okay, okay, I won't mess with you anymore."

"I came here this time because I want to ask you a favor."

Zhen Huan restrained her smile and said to An Lingrong with a serious face.
