Ye Zhen stayed in the palace because Li Hang's condition had stabilized. He was able to attend the morning court every day and discuss state affairs with the ministers in the imperial study. He didn't look like a person who had almost died at all.
In addition to giving Li Hang acupuncture, she spent the rest of her time in the Kunning Palace. Occasionally, she would make medicinal cuisine for Li Hang and the emperor. She was wholeheartedly nursing Empress Fang's body.
After knowing that she lived in the Kunning Palace, Ye Yiqing also felt that this was a good decision.
However, the imperial court was not so peaceful.
Since the eldest prince's biological mother, Imperial Concubine Liu, was grounded, the Liu family had been provoking everywhere, forcing the emperor to lift Imperial Concubine Liu's confinement.
Ye Zhen met Imperial Concubine Liu again in Empress Fang's Kunning Palace.
"This concubine greets the Empress." Imperial Concubine Liu straightened her back and saluted. Her red phoenix eyes glared at Ye Zhen, and her face sank.
Empress Fang was also indifferent to Imperial Concubine Liu. "Get up and give her a seat."
"Thank you, Empress." Imperial Concubine Liu smiled and sat down next to her. She looked at Ye Zhen and said, "This little girl looks familiar. Empress, isn't this the little doctor who was in the Qian Long Palace before? How did she come here to be a palace maid? "
"Imperial Concubine Liu, you were grounded because of your taboo. I hope you learn your lesson and don't do it again." Empress Fang said lightly.
Imperial Concubine Liu snorted coldly. In her heart, she was still very disdainful of the Empress. Now, what she was most afraid of was this little doctor. She had seen her last time in the Qian Long Palace, but at that time, she thought that the emperor would not live long, so she didn't pay attention to her. Now that the emperor looked more and more energetic, she had to refocus her attention on the woman beside the emperor.
Wan Guiren had been sent to the Cold Palace by Empress Fang. Now the only concubines who had a prince were her and Concubine Chen. She had never taken Concubine Chen seriously. The last thing she wanted to see was Empress Fang raising the Third Prince.
Was she going to use this little doctor to solidify her favor, or did she want to give birth to a child in her belly?
Was she planning to use this little female doctor to gain her favor, or was she planning to give birth to a child in her womb?
No matter which possibility it was, she would not let the Empress succeed.
"Empress, I heard that the people around Noble Wan are not clean, and they have been secretly harming you all these years. Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect Noble Wan to be so capable. She usually looks so gentle and weak, but it turns out that she has such a hidden agenda," Noble Concubine Liu said sympathetically as she looked at the Empress.
Empress Fang glanced at her, "You just left Fengyi Palace today, but you know quite a lot."
"Haha, this concubine is concerned about the Empress." Imperial Concubine Liu said with a smile, "If it wasn't for Imperial Concubine Wan, your child might be as old as the First Prince."
"That's right. If it weren't for that b * tch, you wouldn't have had anything to do with it, right?" Empress Fang was not angered by Imperial Concubine Liu's words. She had heard enough of Imperial Concubine Liu's sarcastic remarks over the years. This alone was not enough to make her angry.
Seeing the Empress's unmoved appearance, Imperial Concubine Liu snorted coldly in her heart. How could the Empress give birth to a son with such a broken body? "Empress, I don't know if this concubine is angry after hearing about Noble Wan. This concubine feels a little uncomfortable in her chest. I heard that you, the little doctor, have excellent medical skills. I wonder if this concubine can borrow her for a while?"
Ye Zhen finally looked at Imperial Concubine Liu, who still didn't know how to restrain herself. Was she going to vent her anger on her as soon as the confinement was lifted?
Empress Fang smiled, "I can't bear to part with her. You'd better go to another female doctor. Looking at your complexion, I really don't think you're uncomfortable."
How could she be so protective of a little doctor? Imperial Concubine Liu sneered and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the Empress. "Since Imperial Concubine Liu is not feeling well, go back and rest early, lest the Emperor summons you tonight and you can't serve the Emperor."
Knowing that she still needed the Emperor's favor, Imperial Concubine Liu stood up and glanced at Ye Zhen. "The Empress really treasures you. I don't know what skills you have."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Imperial Concubine Liu will naturally know in the future."
"Empress, is the little doctor around you so unruly? How dare she talk back to me? "Imperial Concubine Liu asked coldly.
"I don't think she doesn't understand the rules." Empress Fang said with a smile, "The word 'rules' coming from your mouth is somewhat funny."
Imperial Concubine Liu's face sank. This was not in line with the Empress's usual temperament! In the past, although the Empress did not get along with her, because she had the First Prince, the Empress never shed all pretense of cordiality with her, let alone against her for a little doctor.
Who the hell is this little doctor? Is it possible that the Empress intends to use her to solidify her favor?
"It seems that this little doctor is really special." Imperial Concubine Liu said with a smile, "Empress, this concubine will leave first."
Empress Fang just nodded indifferently and watched Imperial Concubine Liu sway out of the Kunning Palace.
"Your Ladyship, Imperial Concubine Liu is becoming more and more arrogant." Feicui said angrily.
"She has always been like this for so many years." The Empress said faintly, looking sideways at Ye Zhen, "Yao Yao, you don't have to take her words to heart."
Ye Zhen said, "This servant's daughter knows."
Imperial Concubine Liu can be so arrogant, isn't it because of the Liu family? Looking at her posture today, it seems that she is very hostile to her. In the future in the palace, she will have to avoid Imperial Concubine Liu.
Feicui looked at Empress Fang distressingly, "If there was no Wan Guiren …"
Empress Fang frowned, "Feicui, don't talk nonsense."
"This servant feels wronged for Your Ladyship." Back then, because of Wan Guiren's appearance, the Empress also had a period of lonely and bitter days. It was only after the Wan Clan fell that the Empress's days gradually got better. Wan Guiren's heart was clearly so malicious, but the Emperor always protected her. Now that he knew her true colors, the Empress could no longer give birth to a little prince.
"I am not wronged." The Empress said softly, as if to comfort herself, but also as if to warn herself.
Ye Zhen had been in the palace for some time. In fact, she sympathized with Empress Fang. "Your Ladyship, don't be discouraged, I will help you."
"How do you want to help the Empress?" Feicui looked at Ye Zhen warily. She also heard the discussions of other people in the palace and began to doubt the real purpose of Ye Zhen's staying in the Kunning Palace.
Empress Fang looked at Feicui coldly.
Ye Zhen smiled indifferently and whispered, "Your Ladyship, you must relax. Don't be too nervous. What should come will always come. Children are also a kind of fate."
She dripped spiritual spring water into the Empress's medicine every day. In just a few days, the cold in the palace was almost cured. As long as the previous drug was removed, the Empress could naturally conceive a dragon's descendant.
Empress Fang looked at her and nodded with a smile. She understood the reason, but it was inevitable that she would be sad when she thought of it.
