This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 214 Try your best to protect yourself

Moreover, the Fucha family was the first to surrender to the queen from the very beginning.

Noble Lady Fucha's family background is much better than mine.

The Queen did not let go of any of her own people who were willing to go to Baohua Hall to chant sutras and pray for her.

Although Noble Lady Fucha would sometimes be harsh in her words when they were with her, now seeing her lying on the bed with a big belly, looking helpless, An Lingrong could not bear any resentment at all.

Once again, An Lingrong made up her mind that she must not get pregnant.

In this palace, it is very difficult to protect yourself, let alone take care of a child.

"Are you taking the medicine prescribed by Zhang Mi every day?" Hua Fei sat beside the bed and held Noble Lady Fucha's hand. Noble Lady Fucha had really lost a lot of weight, and her slender fingers felt like skin and bones.

Noble Lady Fucha had said a lot of things, but now she had no strength left and could only nod in response.

"Is it only today that you bleed?"

Noble Lady Fucha nodded again.

"Since it's not an epidemic, don't take the medicine. I will try my best to save you. Before that, you must try your best to save yourself. Only by saving yourself can you save the child. Do you understand?"

It was rare for Concubine Hua to speak so gently. Thinking back, when Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant with her first child, she had some thoughts of competing for favor with Shen Meiyu, and she had suppressed her.

At present, Shen Meizhuang was celebrating her new house with Concubine Jing, Concubine Qi and others in Chuxiu Palace, but Noble Lady Fucha's place was as quiet as the cold palace.

She should have realized something was wrong long ago, but why was she still unaware until Concubine Fucha was bleeding in this life?

As Noble Lady Fucha listened to Concubine Hua's comfort, a tear rolled down her eye and she nodded vigorously.

Before, I followed the Queen, fought against Concubine Hua, and bullied An Lingrong. What was I trying to achieve?

And the emperor, even though I was pregnant with his child, because of the word "epidemic", the emperor never asked me a question.

Only Concubine Hua told her to "try your best to protect yourself". Concubine Hua told her that she had to protect herself first before she could protect the child.

Noble Lady Fucha thought that before entering the palace, her father told her that he had arranged everything for her, and that after entering the palace she would follow the Empress, listen to the Empress, and win honor and favor for the Fucha family.

But after all the things my father said, he never told me to protect myself.

Concubine Hua did not stay long. She gave a few more instructions to reassure Noble Lady Fucha and then left quickly.

Before leaving, she glanced at An Lingrong, who met her gaze and then bowed.

"Farewell, Madam Hua."

"Mrs. An's craftsmanship is really good. Your embroidery is my favorite. I can't give your things away. It's worth it for me to come here to get them."

"It is my blessing to be liked by the queen."

"Go back to Yikun Palace." Concubine Hua turned and left Yanx Palace.

Songzhi behind her was holding two sachets embroidered with peony flowers by An Lingrong.

After returning to Yiku Palace, Concubine Hua sat on the couch and thought for a long time.

Xiu's fingers tapped the low table again and again, making crisp sounds. Songzhi said nothing, because she knew that the queen was thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, this is what Xiaolouzi just gave me. He said he brought it back from the Yanxi Palace."

Zhou Ninghai took out an oil-paper bag from his sleeve and placed it on the low table. When he opened it, he saw a pile of black, wet medicine residue inside.

"How did you get this?" Hua Fei's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed, and her big eyes were full of confusion.

"Xiao Louzi secretly grabbed a handful of it from the dregs while Sang'er was boiling the medicine and wasn't paying attention and brought it back."

Zhou Ninghai couldn't help but show off for his apprentice. This Xiaolouzi usually mixed with the palace maids and was very smooth-talking. Zhou Ninghai always felt that Xiaolouzi was not steady enough, but he didn't expect that this little bastard could always surprise him.

I just looked around the Yanx Palace for a long time, but couldn't find any flaws that could help the Empress relieve her worries.

At this moment, I guess this brat has taken the credit again.

"Zhou Ninghai, go and invite Wei Lin." Concubine Hua's tone became lighter.

"Just say that Songzhi ate too much and her stomach is uncomfortable, and ask him to come and see her."

Songzhi: Your Majesty, who eats more?

Songzhi was speechless, but when she saw the empress smile, she felt relieved and thought, "Just eat as much as you want."

Not long after, Wei Lin came over carrying a medicine box.

Now that the Yikun Palace is out of favor, hiring a small imperial physician to treat the palace maids did not attract much attention in the Imperial Hospital.

"Your humble servant Wei Lin pays his respects to Empress Hua." Wei Lin bowed respectfully.

"Get up, I have something here that I would like the imperial physician to take a look at."

Concubine Hua gave Zhou Ninghai a wink, asking him to take the medicine residue spread out on the low table to show Wei Lin.

"Yes."

Wei Lin took the medicine residue, picked up a few and put them in front of his nose to smell them carefully, and said, "My queen, this is the prescription for curing the epidemic. There is no problem."

"no problem?"

"Yes, this is the recipe that Master developed in the early stage. When Master presented it to His Majesty, he also specifically told His Majesty that some of the herbs in it are relatively cold and have strong medicinal properties."

"But the situation was urgent at the time, and after the palace maids who had contracted the epidemic took this medicine, they only had diarrhea a few more times. When the epidemic was gone, the palace maids' bodies would slowly get better."

The reason why Concubine Hua likes to use Wei Lin is that Wei Lin speaks directly and clearly, and Wei Lin is smart and always knows what he wants to investigate and what he wants to hear.

But Wei Lin's words today still made Hua Fei unable to figure out what went wrong.

"Is this the medicine for the palace maids who have contracted the plague? What about the medicine for the young lady?" Songzhi asked.

"The emperor ordered that the young lady's medicine should be used with due consideration to its medicinal properties. Didn't the master develop a more mild prescription not long after?"

Songzhi's casual question suddenly awakened Concubine Hua.

"What problems would arise if a pregnant woman took this medicine?" Hua Fei asked.

"My lady, it's just a few more bouts of diarrhea. There's nothing in this medicine that's harmful to the fetus."
