The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 496 Being plotted
Wen Xianqing calmed himself down for a while, until the heat in his body dissipated, then he looked at the sky outside.

It was already the hour of Xu. Normally, the imperial doctors would not go to take pulses at this hour unless summoned by the concubines in the harem.

But this matter is unusual, and Wen Xianqing must find a way to tell Nian Shilan.

After thinking it over, Wen Xianqing called the eunuch who usually carried his medicine box for him, whose name was Li'an.

"Empress Hua said she was feeling a little unwell today, so I specially prepared this medicine.
You should deliver it to the Imperial Concubine now, and remember to hand the medicine in the white porcelain bottle to her personally."

Li An has been serving Wen Xianqing for two years and has always been courteous in his work.

Originally he was only responsible for some cleaning and carrying box chores, but today he was assigned by Wen Xianqing to run errands, and he was very happy.

I've heard that those who work for Concubine Hua can get a lot of rewards, so today I can go there alone.

Li An took the medicine handed to him by Wen Xianqing, held it in both hands and hurried towards Qingliang Palace.

Nian Shilan used the excuse that she was tired and wanted to rest early. She finally coaxed Yinzhen away and was stretching her waist on the chaise longue, thinking carefully about what had happened today.

I have been feeling hot these days and thought it was because of my pregnancy, but what happened today was not that simple.

If I hadn't noticed something was wrong in time today and let Yinzhen go, there's a high chance that something would have happened to the baby in my belly.

Nian Shilan called Xiao Linzi over.

"Go and secretly find Doctor Wen and ask him to come over.

Because he has come here today, if we summon him again with great fanfare,
I am afraid that people in the harem will talk about my pregnancy being unstable, which would be bad.”

Xiao Linzi asked in confusion.

"Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Nian Shilan shook her head.

“I can’t tell you right now, so go and quietly ask Doctor Wen to come.

Remember, you have to stay away from others."

Seeing that Nian Shilan was unusually cautious, Xiao Linzi did not dare to delay and immediately left with his back bent.

Li An, who was asked by Wen Xianqing to deliver the medicine, was walking very fast with the medicine in his hand and bumped into Xiao Linzi head-on.

Li An hurriedly paid his respects to Xiao Linzi, but he secretly sighed in his heart that if he didn't show up in front of Concubine Hua, he was afraid that the reward money would be lost.

But he didn't dare to delay anything.

"I was just about to go look for Eunuch Lin, and I happened to meet you."

Xiao Linzi was familiar with Li An, so he stopped and smiled.

"You and I are the same, there's no need to be so polite.

I wonder what you want from me? But is there something going on with Doctor Wen? "

Li An chuckled and gave a thumbs up.

"As expected of you, Eunuch Lin. I will come to you.
It was Imperial Doctor Wen who asked me to deliver medicine to the Imperial Concubine.

Look at the medicine bottle in my hand."

As he spoke, Li An handed the white porcelain bottle in his hands to Xiao Linzi with both hands.

"Doctor Wen said that he made this specially for the Imperial Concubine, because it was getting late.
It was inconvenient for the imperial physician to come into the garden, so he sent a servant to deliver the medicine.

But I see that you seem to be busy. If you are busy,

I will just deliver the medicine to Qingliang Palace, you can go and do your work without any worries." Xiao Linzi thought for a moment, his master wanted to secretly invite Doctor Wen, and Doctor Wen also asked someone to deliver something to his master.

But as Li An said, the imperial physician would not enter the garden at this time. It would be better for me to take the bottle of medicine and go back to report and see what the master says.

"Well, what can I do for you? It's just that our master is resting now.
I just came out to wander around when I had some free time. But now that I met you, I have no free time.

Okay, go back and tell Doctor Wen that the things have been delivered.

Here, take this, it will be worth your hard work."

Xiao Linzi took the medicine bottle handed over by Li An with one hand, took out a purse from his arms with the other hand, and stuffed it directly into Li An's arms.

Li An was so happy that his face was beaming with joy, but he rubbed his hands together with an embarrassed look and smiled awkwardly.

"How can I do that? I am just running errands."

Xiao Linzi patted his shoulder and said.

"People like us live on our monthly salary.

Our master is compassionate to his servants. As long as the people who work for our master,

You won't be treated unfairly, just take it and drink your tea."

After saying that, he turned and left. Li An hurriedly said behind Xiao Linzi.

"Goodbye, Eunuch Lin. I would like to thank the Imperial Concubine for her reward!"

Xiao Linzi waved his hand and hurried back to report.

However, Li An was watched by someone on his way back. The man heard everything that Li An and Xiao Linzi had just said, and seeing that Xiao Linzi was quite generous, he remembered everything.

I just don’t know what kind of medicine Wen Xianqing gave to Concubine Hua. Is there something wrong with Concubine Hua’s fetus?
The man quietly disappeared and went to report to his master.

Nian Shilan received the white porcelain bottle sent by Wen Xianqing, and opened the lid with a pair of bare hands, while Xiao Linzi said beside her.

"I didn't hear Doctor Wen prescribe medicine for the master today. I don't know what effect this medicine has."

Nian Shilan had already poured all the pills in the white porcelain bottle onto the table. She loosened her grip and dropped the white porcelain bottle at her feet.

Xiao Linzi and Song Zhi Lidong were both frightened. They didn't understand why their master suddenly became angry. All the servants in the hall knelt down.

There was a note in the broken white porcelain bottle. Xiao Linzi glanced at Nian Shilan's expression, crawled forward on his knees and picked up the note. He didn't dare to look at the words on the note carefully, and raised his hands high in front of Nian Shilan.

Xiao Linzi and the others were not wrong. Nian Shilan was indeed angry just now.

I always thought that Wen Xianqing was omnipotent, but I didn't expect that when he took her pulse in the daytime, he couldn't diagnose that she was poisoned by the aphrodisiac!
Nian Shilan took the note from Xiao Linzi's hand, her face changed drastically, and the pressure from her anger made the palace servants kneeling on the ground even more frightened.

She just took a deep breath, raised her head and looked around at the kneeling palace maids.

The person serving in the palace did not include the little palace maid named Shuangjiang who brought her water during the day.

Since entering the palace, Shuangjiang has been assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve Nian Shilan.

But she had been doing rough work like sweeping and cleaning. It was only a few days ago when Lingzhi said that this little palace maid was honest and useful that she was promoted to do work like fetching water.

However, he was not allowed to serve in the Nian Shilan Palace on a daily basis and was only allowed to enter the palace when serving water for washing.

Wen Xianqing's note clearly stated that someone around Nian Shilan mixed aphrodisiacs into the water used to wash Nian Shilan, which caused Nian Shilan to always feel hot all over, but no diagnosis could be made.

Because this aphrodisiac drug makes people aroused through its subtle fragrance after being dried, even though Nian Shilan had a sensitive nose during pregnancy, she was unable to detect it in time.

In addition, if the emperor came to see Nian Shilan, the patchouli and costusroot in the sachet he wore around his waist would interact with this scent and the medicinal effect would be doubled.

In short, Nian Shilan was indeed schemed against! And the person who schemed against her even included the emperor!
