She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 124: Legend of Zhen Huan 69

When the Queen Mother saw Shen Meizhuang suddenly kneeling down to kowtow, she signaled Zhuxi to help her up.

"What's so worthy of your behavior?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Shen Meizhuang's face, "Empress Dowager, it's my good sister, Concubine Wan."

When the Queen Mother heard that it was about Concubine Wan, she didn't want to listen anymore. Zhen Huan looked too similar to Chun Yuan.

As soon as she saw her, the Queen Mother thought of Chun Yuan. Although the Emperor did not favor Zhen Huan too much after she entered the palace.

But the Empress Dowager couldn't feel good when she saw Zhen Huan's face. She wondered how Chun Yuan had entered the palace and became the legitimate wife. Those tricks could deceive the Emperor, but they couldn't deceive herself.

As a woman herself, she knew women's minds too well, so when Yixiu later murdered Chunyuan in revenge, the empress dowager chose to turn a blind eye.

Seeing the Queen Mother's expression, Shen Meizhuang knew that she was unhappy, but thinking that Zhen Huan was still waiting for her to save her, Shen Meizhuang dared not and could not delay.

She immediately knelt down and begged, "Her Majesty, Wan Chang has something important to report. Please give Wan Chang a chance to see her."

"What could possibly happen to her? Even if she did, she should have told the Queen."

When the Queen Mother said this, she remembered that the Queen was still imprisoned.

"Aren't Concubine Jing, you, and Concubine Zhao in charge of the palace affairs now? If she has something to do, just ask her to go find Concubine Jing and the others. Why would she look for an old woman like me?"

Shen Meizhuang didn't understand why the Queen Mother was so disgusted with Zhen Huan, but this matter concerned Zhen Huan's life, and she couldn't just watch Zhen Huan fall into trouble.

"Empress Dowager, the matter reported by Wan Changzai involves a lot of things. It not only involves Concubine Qi and Concubine Zhao, but also involves the Queen and the Third Prince. Empress Dowager, please meet her."

There was a gleam of sharpness in the empress dowager's eyes, and she wondered in her heart whether it was the empress who was imprisoned in Jingren Palace who had done something wrong. Thinking of the empress's position that she had managed to keep with great difficulty, she finally turned her head and looked at Shen Meizhuang who was kneeling on the ground.

"Oh? The Queen has not been out of the palace for a long time. How can the affairs of Concubine Zhao and Concubine Qi involve the Queen?"

After saying this, the Queen Mother sighed.

"Forget it, just let him come."

After Shen Meizhuang heard this, she quickly kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Thank you for your grace, Queen Mother. I will ask Concubine Wan to come over right away."

Shen Meizhuang stood up and hurried out of the house.

"Caiyue, go back and inform Wan Changzai and ask her to come over quickly."

Caiyue was a little reluctant, "My lady, who will serve you after I leave?"

Shen Meizhuang shook her head, waving the handkerchief in her hand. "Hey, go quickly. I don't need you to serve me here. Remember to ask her to come quickly."

Caiyue had no choice but to agree.

"Slave, go now."

Liuzhu went to the Imperial Hospital early in the morning to find Doctor Wen to take her mistress's pulse according to Zhen Huan's idea, but she did not see Doctor Wen when she arrived at the Imperial Hospital.

A pharmacist inside saw her peeking around and pulled her out. "This is the Imperial Hospital. Outsiders are not allowed to stay here. You should leave now."

Liuzhu defended herself, "I'm here to see Doctor Wen."

"Are you Doctor Wen Shichu? Are you from Suiyuxuan?"

Wen Shichu was demoted to a medical assistant by the emperor because he was looking after Concubine Wan in Suiyuxuan and was late for treating Concubine Zhao. This matter was so bizarre that the entire Imperial Hospital knew about it, even the little medicine boy was no exception.

So when Liuzhu asked Doctor Wen, the medicine boy guessed that she was from Suiyuxuan.

But the person in front of him was the palace maid of Concubine Wan, so the medicine boy did not tell the specific reason, he just said it.

"Wen Shichu is no longer an imperial physician, but a low-ranking medical practitioner. He can only treat palace maids now. If Concubine Wan feels unwell, I will go in and report to the lords and see which imperial physician is free."

After the medicine boy went in to report, all the imperial doctors did not move. It was Dean Zhang who called an imperial doctor named Wang to follow Liuzhu to Suiyuxuan.

So when Zhen Huan saw the unfamiliar face following Liu Zhu, she was surprised and asked, "Why isn't it Doctor Wen?"

Doctor Wang was not surprised by Zhen Huan's doubts. After all, they knew how Doctor Wen changed from a royal doctor to a medical assistant. Such precedents were also of great significance to the fellow royal doctors.

Doctor Wang had previously suspected that Wen Shichu and Wan Changzai must have a personal relationship, otherwise which concubine would fall ill every few days? If that were the case, she would have been moved out of the palace long ago. After all, the emperor's daughter should not be ill.

Now it seems that this lady has red lips, white teeth and a rosy complexion, and my guess was indeed correct.

As for asking him to come over to take the pulse, it was probably just an excuse. Doctor Wang had already guessed it in his heart, but did not reveal anything on his face.

As per usual, he questioned Zhen Huan and took her pulse.

"My lord, are you feeling unwell?"

There was nothing wrong with Zhen Huan. She just wanted to ask Doctor Wen to inquire about Concubine Zhao's health condition.

Since the one who came now was not Imperial Doctor Wen, Zhen Huan had to find an excuse.

"I don't know if it's because of climate change, but I seem to have trouble sleeping recently."

"Don't worry, my dear. Sometimes you may feel a little uncomfortable when the seasons change, but it's usually not serious."

Doctor Wang understood what Zhen Huan meant, and pretended to check Zhen Huan's pulse, showing off his knowledge. Finally, he left a prescription for calming the nerves and left.

Only after he left did Zhen Huan look at Liuzhu.

"What's going on? Why didn't Doctor Wen come?"

Liuzhu was actually confused, she just went to the Imperial Hospital to see Doctor Wen as usual. But the medicine boy told her that Doctor Wen had been demoted.

As for the reason for the demotion, Yao Tong didn't tell her, and she didn't know. After all, Liuzhu wasn't as smart as Huanbi. If it was Huanbi, she might have already asked around in the Imperial Hospital.

Zhen Huan looked at Liuzhu's ignorant look and couldn't help feeling helpless. If it were Huanbi, she would definitely not be like this.

Of course, if Jinxi was here, she would at least have some sources of information. Now, the only one left by her side was Liuzhu, who was loyal but incompetent. Zhen Huan sighed.

"Alright, that's it. Go and call Xiao Yunzi in."

Liuzhu was a little embarrassed. She knew that her performance just now was not good, so she shrank her head and replied, "Yes, since the servant Xiao Yunzi was asked by Zhen Huan yesterday, she has also been very nervous. Compared with Zhen Huan, she is more afraid of being found out.

After all, Zhen Huan is the master after all, so even if the truth is exposed, she will not die.

But I am different. I am just a small eunuch. Any well in this palace can easily get rid of me.

Therefore, he was also taking the trouble to inquire about the situation in the Yanxi Palace last night.

It's just that because of Concubine Zhao's pregnancy, although the Yanx Palace is not like an iron bucket, but with Xiao Yunzi's limited connections, it is obvious that he cannot find out the situation in the Yanx Palace.

As for Doctor Wen, he actually knew something about this.

"My lady, Doctor Wen... When Doctor Wen came to check your pulse yesterday morning, something happened to Concubine Zhao. As a result, when the doctor was summoned, Doctor Wen was not there. The emperor saw this, so Doctor Wen was demoted by the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan clenched her fingers into fists. She murmured silently, "It's because of me?"

Then he looked at Xiao Yunzi again, "Just because of this? The emperor demoted him. Isn't the emperor taking this too lightly?"
