The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 432 A sudden enlightenment
As soon as Wen Xianqing finished speaking, both Yinzhen and Nian Shilan's faces showed ripples.

But if you look closely, Yinzhen is delighted, while Nian Shilan is shocked.

After giving birth to Hongli, she continued to take contraceptive soup as before.

Is it possible that the contraceptive soup is no longer effective?

Nian Shilan's shock did not escape Yinzhen's eyes, and he laughed secretly in his heart.

Everyone in the harem wants to be pregnant with a dragon baby, but Nian Shilan has never cared about having a child.

When he found out that Nian Shilan was taking contraceptive soup, he was furious. But when Nian Shilan gave birth to Hongli, Yinzhen was filled with joy.

Yinzhen thought that Nian Shilan would be willing to give birth to children for him in the future, but he didn't expect that after paying attention, he found that Nian Shilan had secretly taken contraceptive pills again.

But at this time, Yinzhen no longer blamed Nian Shilan. He just asked someone to secretly replace Nian Shilan's contraceptive medicine with a fertility-aiding medicine.

Sure enough, not long after that, Nian Shilan became pregnant again.

For some reason, Yinzhen just didn't want to see Nian Shilan's always calm face, as if she was very far away from him.

Some close ministers also hinted that Nian Gengyao's military achievements were too great and that the Nian family would pose a threat to the imperial court.

Yinzhen was not without hesitation, but seeing that Nian Gengyao had no intention of usurping the throne, he did not intend to touch those ministers who had helped him build his empire.

His heart started beating again since the first time he saw Nian Shilan standing proudly on her horse in the paddock.

On weekdays, he has been trying his best to restrain himself and not show his affection for Nian Shilan too obviously.

But as Nian Shilan's status in the harem rose, coupled with his overt and covert rewards, as well as his favor for Nian Shilan's son Hongli, Nian Shilan made many enemies in the palace.

Yinzhen tried hard to treat everyone in the harem equally, but whenever he was with other concubines, he always thought of Nian Shilan.

The more indifferent Nian Shilan was to him, the more he wanted to win her heart.

When we first met, she was such a proud and enthusiastic woman. Why did she seem more and more restrained in this palace now?

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan, who was still in shock, with a smile.

"Why is Shilan so surprised? Isn't she happy to have my child?"

Nian Shilan suppressed her emotions, put a smile on her face, and her tone sounded both coquettish and blaming.

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I just thought about my own body first for a moment.

Your Majesty knows that before I gave birth to Hongli, I had been in poor health and always suffered from inexplicable headaches.

After giving birth to Hongli, my headaches have become less frequent. But just now, Doctor Wen said that I am pregnant.

I was the first to think that this child would be tired. I am not feeling well.
Or did he bring me blessings like Hongli did?"

Yinzhen always had a smiling face.

"Now that the weather is warm, the child has hurried over. He must be a good child with great fortune.

That will definitely make you feel better. No wonder you just said you were tired recently. Now you have found the reason, right? "

Nian Shilan nodded, indicating that she agreed with what Yinzhen said. She then looked up at Wen Xianqing with a puzzled look on her face.

"I have a question, Doctor Wen, please help me solve it."

Wen Xianqing said hurriedly.

"Just tell me, Your Majesty, and I will report back in detail."

Nian Shilan said doubtfully.

"Doctor Wen is already the backbone of the Imperial Hospital, and his medical skills are top-notch.

How come when you came to diagnose me the other day, you didn't find out that I was pregnant?"

As Wen Xianqing listened to Nian Shilan's questions, his body visibly relaxed a little from its tense state.

"Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, you were injured the day before yesterday. Although I examined your pulse,
But at that time, the pulse was not very obvious, and I was afraid that I had made a wrong diagnosis. Until today, the pulse of the Majesty has become very obvious, and I dared to conclude that the Majesty is pregnant.

However, according to my diagnosis, Your Majesty has only been pregnant for one month.
First, many doctors cannot easily diagnose it, and second, this is also the most unstable time.
Please take advantage of this injury and take good care of your baby in the womb.

I will also stop using those medicines for treating injuries and sprains to avoid any harm to the dragon fetus.

But if you do this, you will probably have to suffer a lot of pain."

After Wen Xianqing finished speaking, Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan worriedly, but then he thought, Nian Shilan came from a military family and was never arrogant, so he should not be afraid.

Sure enough, Nian Shilan said immediately.

"I am not afraid of pain, I just want to protect this child.

Stop taking those medicines and switch to medicines that can calm the nerves and nourish the fetus."

Wen Xianqing said.

"Forgive me for being so nosy, but I think it is not appropriate for Your Majesty to take some medicine to calm the nerves and nourish the fetus right now.

Your Majesty's pulse is very healthy, and there is no sign of weakness at all. Your Majesty just needs to rest assured.

In my humble opinion, if a woman is pregnant and there is no shock or disaster that may cause miscarriage,
It is best to rest. My queen, have you ever heard that medicine is three-quarters poison?
The dragon is in the empress's womb, and is blessed by heaven, so there is no need for any extra external help."

Yinzhen smiled.

"What Doctor Wen said is new. I always get very nervous when I hear a woman is pregnant.

She keeps talking about ginseng soup and pregnancy-stabilizing medicine every day, and she wishes she could collect all the good medicines in the world for the fetus in her belly.

Why do you think that there is no need to take medicine when there is nothing wrong?"

Wen Xianqing bowed and replied.

"Your Majesty, when I traveled around the countryside, I saw many pregnant women.
They either seek medical treatment due to loss of appetite or because of occasional abdominal distension and pain.

Among them, those who were wealthy took doses of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine, but their babies were born weaker instead.

This is because the mothers of those children were not very healthy originally, and the medicine forcibly saved them.

Therefore, many children are born with weak constitutions. Women from poor families cannot afford pregnancy-preserving drugs.

Most of them ended in miscarriage, but the rest of the women relied on their strong bodies to hold on until they gave birth to their children.

Those children are all healthy. I have also seen women from wealthy families,

She ate ginseng soup all day long and searched for good medicine everywhere, but the fetus was too big and difficult to deliver, and she gave birth to a stupid child.

Therefore, since I started practicing medicine, I have never advocated the use of drugs to forcibly save a fetus that is not very healthy to begin with."

Wen Xianqing paused, looked at Yinzhen's expression, and said again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am not being irresponsible to the dragon fetus.

If the Emperor feels that the Imperial Concubine needs to use pregnancy-maintaining medicine,

I will do my best to develop the best pregnancy-preserving medicine!"

Yinzhen stared at Wen Xianqing and suddenly laughed.

"When I am in the court, I always encourage the ministers to speak their minds and ask them to come up with many strategies for governing the country.

But they have always been timid and no one dared to speak out. Today, Doctor Wen's words have opened my eyes.

Since even you said that Concubine Hua doesn't need to take medicine, then don't use it.

But if Concubine Hua is feeling unwell, Doctor Wen should still do his best."

I'm getting fat!
