Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Chapter 139 Conspiracy

After the empress dowager fell ill, all the concubines had to take care of her, but the empress dowager asked Huimin and Shen Meizhuang to come every day on the grounds that she liked them.

Fu Cha Peiyun was originally on this list, but for some reason, after she had been here for a few days, the empress dowager asked her to go back.

It was said that the Sixth Prince cried and made a fuss after being separated from his mother. The Empress Dowager could not bear to see Hong Qing like this, and in case he got hurt, she asked Concubine Lan to go back to accompany her son.

But Huimin and Shen Meizhuang's son was still young, but the empress dowager did not mention it at all.

Every day, she had to go to the Empress Dowager to take care of her. She would stay there for most of the day. Huimin, who had always been in good health, found it a bit too much for her.

So she asked someone to prepare some nourishing medicinal food for her, but in the past few days, Huimin often felt tired and sleepy.

Serving the Queen Mother makes one tired physically but worried mentally every day. One has to think about how to respond to every sentence and be considerate of every detail.

If you put too much thought into it, you will naturally feel tired.

So after being so tired for two days, Huimin didn't care much, but when Ruyi said:

"My lady, you look so pale, and you have to take care of the sick for so many days. Your body really can't take it. Although I know you don't want to be criticized, your health is more important."

After hearing Ruyi's words, Huimin had a quick thought in her mind.

Paled face?

Huimin suddenly clenched her hands, ran to the bronze mirror and looked at her face.

Indeed, haggard.

Huimin suppressed her expression, something was wrong.

How long have you been feeling unwell?

Huimin frowned slightly and asked Shunxin.

"How long have I been in this condition?"

Shunxin remembers it clearly.

"My lady, you have been tending to the sick for five or six days, so you are a little tired, but not pale. However, in the past two days, you seem to be... it seems that..."

The two looked at each other and said in unison:

“Start with eating medicinal food.”

All of a sudden, everything connected together, the hazy veil was lifted, and Huimin's mind suddenly became clear.

Doctor Wang has not been here for the past few days. He has been sent out of town to treat a relative and it will take at least a month for him to return.

This is her trusted imperial physician. As for the others, Huimin called Ruyi over and whispered:

"Please ask Dr. Li to come, but be sure not to alert the enemy."

"Let our informant go to Yongshou Palace and tell Xiao Yunzi to make the arrangements."

After hearing the arrangements, Ruyi withdrew and went to make them.

It took Huimin a long time to wait until Doctor Li arrived.

"Miss."

Huimin raised her voice and said, "Doctor Li? I invited Song Qian. Where is Doctor Song? I remember he is on duty today."

Doctor Li glanced at Huimin and raised his voice a little.

"It is true that Imperial Physician Song is on duty today, but today Concubine Jin is feeling unwell, so Imperial Physician Zhang has been there and specifically asked Imperial Physician Song to go. In addition, Imperial Physician Song believes that he is less experienced and not as skilled as me, so I am the one who will do it."

"Doctor Song is indeed modest."

Huimin found it funny. He was not modest at all. He was not polite when Song Qian praised his medical skills.

But Huimin was also more certain that this was most likely the Queen Mother's plan.

Huimin signaled to Doctor Li with her eyes, and he reacted quickly.

The two of them acted out a bit of a scene before starting to take the patient's pulse.

But as soon as he touched Huimin's wrist, Doctor Li's expression changed.

But when Doctor Li met Huimin's eyes and looked at the calm eyes of this virtuous concubine, he understood everything.

"My lady, have you been distracted and tired these days?"

Huimin nodded and gave a reasonable explanation.

"I'm afraid I'm tired these days."

Doctor Li also agreed and said:

"Your Majesty should not overwork yourself. You should pay attention to rest."

Doctor Li withdrew his hand and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, here is a medicine that will slowly make people feel sleepy all day long and lack energy. In fact, the body is gradually becoming depleted. This is a chronic poison and it is not so quickly noticed."

"but……"

Doctor Li looked at the woman in front of him. She still looked calm, even scary in her calmness.

"But if this continues, Your Majesty will..."

Doctor Li didn't need to say the rest, as both of them understood what he meant.

Seeing Huimin's expression, Doctor Li said:

"My queen, before I came here, someone told me that no matter what your pulse is like, it is all due to fatigue."

"They sent Wang Yu away and didn't let Song Qian take care of it. It's obvious..."

Huimin just nodded to show that she knew and was no longer surprised. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital had a tongue.

If it weren’t for Doctor Li, this matter would have been really difficult to handle.

Huimin asked Shunxin to bring the leftover medicinal food from yesterday. After Doctor Li checked it, he confirmed that it was indeed this thing that caused the problem.

"Sure enough, some people are eager for me to see the King of Hell."

Huimin said softly.

But soon, Huimin looked at Doctor Li and said, "Give me a prescription to remove the poison. Remember, this is Concubine Xin's tranquilizer. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. If someone asks you about it, you know how to answer."

"As for the medicinal food, it is still prepared every day."

Huimin turned her back so that Doctor Li could not see the expression on her face.

"You still can't expose yourself, just hide yourself."

Queen Mother, there is no room for me anymore.

Huimin had Doctor Li sent away, but everything remained the same.

Huimin went to serve the Queen Mother every day, but as the days passed, her face became paler.

Although she took medicine and the poison in her body was gradually cleared, she stayed up late every night, trying to look haggard.

After enduring for several days, Huimin even thought of many ways to make her face swollen and her eyes dark circles could not be covered even with powder. While serving the empress dowager, she suddenly fainted.

She looks even sicker than the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager apparently liked Huimin very much and advised her to go back and rest several times, but Huimin refused on the grounds that the Emperor was being filial to her and the Empress Dowager's health was more important.

When the emperor found out about it, he praised her many times. Huimin's fainting was a big deal, so the emperor went to see her in person and waited until Huimin woke up.

When Huimin woke up, she saw the emperor sitting beside her bed.

"emperor."

Huimin struggled to get up, and the emperor quickly stopped her.

"Min'er, take a break. It's too late to still care about these empty formalities."

Huimin pretended not to know, and asked like a concubine who truly loved the emperor and was filial to the empress dowager:

"What's wrong with this concubine? Is the Queen Mother okay?"

The emperor was even more moved and a little angry, but his anger was not directed at Huimin.

"Min'er, the Queen Mother is fine. It's you who is not feeling well. The Queen Mother has many people to serve her. I know you have always been virtuous and filial, but you have to take care of your own health."

Seeing Huimin seemed about to refute, the emperor pretended to frown.

"No matter what, Min'er can no longer serve the sick. You should rest well in the palace during this period of time."

"Otherwise I'll be angry."

Huimin also acted shy and acted coquettishly towards the emperor.

"Emperor~"

"Min'er always listens to the emperor."

However, Huimin took this opportunity to make a request.

"It's just that I am in a state of physical condition and I really can't do anything right now. I wonder if the emperor can ask Concubine Chao to help take care of Hongyao for a while. She has been with Hongyao for a long time, and Hongyao is familiar with her. If they live together in Chuxiu Palace, I will worry less."

The emperor naturally agreed. "Min'er, no matter what you want, how can I not agree? Let the noble lady Chao take care of you first, and come back when you are well."

"Hongyao is still young and cannot be separated from his biological mother. You must get better soon."

After a pause, the emperor continued:

"Hongyao can't live without you, and I can't live without you either."

Huimin was stunned and gently took the emperor's hand.

"Min'er can't live without the emperor either."

Judging from the emperor's attitude, it seems that he is unaware of what the empress dowager has done.

That is...

It seems that we are getting closer to the truth.
