Ye Zhen looked at Ye Yiqing with wide eyes, "Daddy, what did you say?"
"Ahem." Ye Yiqing coughed softly. It was a little embarrassing for him to talk about infertility in front of his daughter. "You don't know much about the situation in Dongqing. You will understand it in the future. Just now, you saw what Concubine Liu looked like. If the Empress can give birth to a prince, everything will become much simpler."
"Daddy, the emperor, he …" Ye Zhen whispered, "may not be able to recover."
Ye Yiqing sighed, "This is just my hope. Even if I can't cure him, it's good to make the emperor feel better."
"Then I can only try my best." Ye Zhen said. She had never told her father about the spirit spring. If she could find the right way to treat Li Hang, with the help of the spirit spring, even if it couldn't cure his head disease, it would certainly make him better.
Ye Yiqing patted her head gently, "You try your best. As for the result, you can only leave it to fate."
"Daddy, then … Am I going to live in the palace?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Plans can't keep up with changes. I originally wanted you to be a doctor to treat the emperor secretly, but now I'm afraid it's impossible." There were two reasons why Ye Yiqing let his daughter enter the palace as a little doctor to treat Li Hang. First, he didn't want others to know how serious the emperor's illness was. Second, he didn't want Mo Rongzhan to know Ye Zhen's whereabouts.
He didn't expect that the emperor's illness would suddenly deteriorate. Huang Fuchen was bound to live in the palace. Ye Zhen, as his apprentice, would be even more suspicious if she became a little doctor.
Ye Zhen said, "Anyway, I will listen to Daddy's instructions."
"Your medical skills are better than Daddy thought. Yao Yao, you are very good." Ye Yiqing said with relief. He never wanted his daughter to be like other women who could only live in a boudoir all her life, as if she had no other ability but to support her husband and teach her children. Now that Ye Zhen is like this, he is most satisfied. Her life will be more wonderful than other women.
"I have always been very powerful. Didn't you know that before?" Ye Zhen smiled with the corner of her mouth raised.
Ye Yiqing chuckled. "You can stay in the Qian Dragon Palace to treat His Majesty for the time being. You don't have to hide your identity. Your father has some status in Dongqing. Apart from His Majesty and the Empress, no one can bully you. Even if you're in the palace, don't make yourself suffer."
"Daddy, no one will wrong me." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She was no longer the Ye Zhen of the past. How could she let herself be wronged?
"You haven't eaten anything for a long time. Why don't you eat with me?" Ye Yiqing said.
After dinner, Ye Yiqing asked Ye Zhen to stay in the Qian Dragon Palace as he had other matters to attend to.
Li Hang had fallen asleep again, and Empress Fang had been watching over him.
Ye Zhen looked at the stove while sizing up the Empress. Compared with the arrogant and domineering Imperial Concubine Liu, Empress Fang appeared more dignified and intelligent, and she could see that she truly loved Li Heng.
She must be very sad that she couldn't give birth to a legitimate son for Li Heng.
"Miss Lu, when will His Majesty's illness be cured?" Empress Fang looked at Li Heng's emaciated face and turned to ask Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen took out the ointment boiled in the stove and poured the spirit spring in the bottle into it. As she poured the ointment on the white cloth, she said, "Empress, I can't guarantee that His Majesty's illness is unprecedented. We can only treat him according to the medical records in the medical books."
Empress Fang looked at Li Heng sadly. She had always thought that she would have a chance to give birth to a prince for him. Now, could she still have hope?
Ye Zhen cooled the white cloth with the ointment for a while and gently applied it to Li Heng's forehead.
Li Heng, who was asleep, frowned slightly, but soon his brows stretched out as if he felt very comfortable.
"What is this?" Empress Fang asked.
"It's an ointment that can relieve the Emperor's headache." Ye Zhen said, "Apply it once a day."
In fact, they were not sure if it was effective. They could only try it for three days first. If it could alleviate Li Heng's dizziness and headache, it would be good.
Empress Fang nodded gently. "Where is your master?"
"Empress, my master is outside." Ye Zhen whispered with a smile.
After applying the ointment to Li Heng, Ye Zhen turned to look at Empress Fang. Remembering Ye Yiqing's previous instructions, she whispered, "Empress, I don't think you look very well. Why don't I take your pulse?"
Empress Fang said with a smile, "This consort is like this because I am worried about the Emperor. I don't usually feel uncomfortable."
Ye Zhen said, "The Emperor still needs Empress. You must take care of yourself."
"You're right." Empress Fang nodded gently. "Then, take my pulse."
"Yes, Empress." Ye Zhen said immediately, asking Empress Fang to put her hand on the pillow and gently put her fingertips on her pulse.
Empress Fang never felt that there was anything wrong with her body, except that she was still unable to get pregnant.
"Miss Lu, this consort rarely gets sick. I have always been in good health." Empress Fang said with a smile.
That's different! Ye Zhen glanced at her. "Empress's letter is not very punctual."
Empress Fang was slightly startled. "It used to be like this, but it has since been recuperated."
"Is Empress still taking medicine to nourish her body?" Ye Zhen thought for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Miss Lu, is there any problem?" Empress Fang looked at her doubtfully. Was there really something wrong with her body?
Ye Zhen felt that there must be something wrong with the medicine. Empress Fang's body was still cold. According to her, she had been recuperating for such a long time. How could she still not get pregnant?
"Empress, do you trust me?" Ye Zhen looked at Empress Fang with a smile.
Empress Fang looked at Ye Zhen doubtfully. "Miss Lu, this consort naturally believes Lord Ye. You are Lord Ye's daughter and now you are treating the Emperor. How can this consort not believe you?"
Ye Zhen whispered, "Since Empress Fang believes me, please don't take the previous medicine. I will give you a new prescription."
"Miss Lu, is there something wrong with the medicine?" Empress Fang was not a stupid person. Hearing Ye Zhen's words, she unconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen.
"I haven't seen the medicine you take, so I can't tell." Ye Zhen said, "Empress Fang has a cold womb. If you trust me, I will recuperate for you."
Empress Fang took a deep look at Ye Zhen. "This consort believes you."
Ye Zhen nodded gently. She should tell her father and let him check the people around the Empress. If she guessed correctly, the medicine Empress Fang took must have contained something like a contraceptive. Being able to make her feel nothing and think that she was in good health, it could only be said that the person who gave the medicine was very clever.
