The Destiny of Going to Hell

Chapter 126: Legend of Zhen Huan - Meng Jingxian 16

After being busy for several days, Yinzhen has developed the most perfect recipe and has asked people to implement it.

He finally had some free time and thought of Meng Jingxian's beautiful face. After all, people naturally want to relax after being tired. What could be more relaxing than appreciating a beautiful woman?

Yinzhen walked slowly to Chuxiu Palace, but the whole palace was quiet. Yinzhen frowned, wondering why the servants in Chuxiu Palace were so lazy.

He walked to Meng Jingxian's palace but was unable to see the servants. His anger was rising. He pushed open the door and saw Meng Jingxian lying on the bed with a pale face. Zhuiyun was frowning on the small couch, while Zhuyue was secretly wiping away tears.

Yinzhen's anger was extinguished in an instant, replaced by anxiety and panic.

"What happened to your queen? Why didn't you call the imperial physician, and no one informed me?!" Yinzhen spoke with a hint of complaint.

Zhuiyun and Zhuyue knelt down quickly. "Our queen said that the imperial doctors are researching a prescription for the epidemic, and the emperor has been working hard for days. I am just suffering from a minor illness, so there is really no need to bother the imperial doctors, and I don't want to make the emperor worry."

Yinzhen was confused after hearing this. "Your queen's health is not good to begin with. She is ignorant. As servants, don't you know how to persuade her? Go to the Imperial Hospital and call Zhang Mi over."

Zhuyue ran to the Imperial Hospital wiping her nose. Yinzhen looked at Meng Jingxian, who was as delicate as a flower, and saw that her lips were dry and cracked, so he asked Zhuiyun to get a bowl of warm water.

While Yinzhen was moistening Meng Jingxian's lips, he questioned Zhuiyun, "How many days has your queen been like this? Why?"

Zhuiyun hesitated, "The Queen won't let me say it."

Yinzhen lost his patience. "The entire Forbidden City belongs to me, and so do your Majesty's servants. Why can't I know it?"

Zhuiyun was frightened by Yinzhen's sudden loud voice, and then he spoke slowly.

It turned out that Meng Jingxian knew the seriousness of the epidemic. After arranging the servants in the palace, she looked through the medical books herself, hoping to find a good prescription.

How could she bear the fatigue of working day and night with her already weak body? However, Meng Jingxian managed to hold on. Hard work pays off. Meng Jingxian got a rough prescription by treating her own palace servants.

At that time, Meng Jingxian was already on the verge of collapse, but she still managed to write a letter to Meng Dase to find a traveling doctor who had experience in treating epidemics. However, she was afraid that her random prescriptions might be wrong, so she did not look for Yinzhen, for fear that Yinzhen would be happy for nothing.

After delivering the letter, he waited anxiously. When he learned that Meng Dase had brought people into the palace, he knew that the matter had been accomplished and finally collapsed.

He also specifically instructed Zhuiyun and Zhuyue not to disturb Yinzhen's peace.

After hearing this, Yinzhen felt that it seemed very familiar. Didn't Zhen Huan also work hard for him that day?

But compared to Meng Jingxian, one was eager to take credit from herself, while the other gave her support silently; one only had a few medicines, while the other came up with a rough original prescription; one was in good health, while the other was born with a weakness. Isn't the difference obvious?

Yinzhen now thought, how could Zhen Huan do this for me? She just wanted to get my reward, how could she compare to Meng Jingxian's thoughtfulness?

Thinking about it this way, Zhen Huan has a face similar to Rouze, which actually disgraces Rouze.

After taking her pulse carefully, Zhang Mi sighed. He had never seen anyone who disobeyed the imperial physician's advice. He had told her to rest more, but now the body he had nursed back to health with great difficulty had returned to the state before liberation, or even worse.

Zhang Mi reported Meng Jingxian's condition to Yinzhen with a serious face, "Your Majesty, I have examined the pulse of Concubine He. Her Qi and blood are weak. I am afraid that she has been overworked recently and has exhausted her mind. She needs to be carefully nursed with good medicine to get better. The queen will wake up in three days. The previous prescription is no longer applicable, and I am afraid that the queen will not be able to sleep with you for a year."

Yinzhen felt heartbroken when he heard these words. Meng Jingxian disregarded her own well-being just to make him happy, and she didn't even ask for anything in return, and did it silently.

It was already difficult for her to serve the emperor in the first place due to her weak health, and now she has not been able to do so for a whole year. This would be a fatal blow to any concubine.

If you cannot serve the emperor in bed, you are not favored. The fate of those who are not favored in the palace is obvious.

Unfortunately, Yinzhen didn’t know that Meng Jingxian was eager to serve Yinzhen.

Yinzhen secretly swore in his heart that he must give Meng Jingxian a lot of rewards and not let others look down on her because she could not serve him in the emperor's bedchamber.

After the epidemic is over, Meng Jingxian's contributions will be announced and she will be promoted to the rank of noble concubine.

This prescription not only solved his urgent problem, but more importantly, although Meng Dase handed over half of his family wealth, the imperial treasury was still empty, making it difficult to carry out many disaster relief activities.

The epidemic will expand, claiming the lives of many, causing the people to be broken up and displaced, resulting in a tragic situation of "millions of households in desolation and ghosts singing", which will cause strong damage to the governance of our own country.

Moreover, Nian Gengyao was still fighting on the front lines, and the battle was fierce. If the enemy spread rumors due to the spread of the epidemic, or if the morale of his own army was low, it would be detrimental to the country.

In general, Meng Jingxian deserves the position of a noble concubine. More importantly, Meng Dase has no real power and has been out of the court for a long time. No matter how high Meng Jingxian's position is, it can't shake her position.

He didn't have to worry about Meng Jingxian ending up in the same situation as Nian Shilan, where the tail was too big to be removed.

Yinzhen watched Zhuyue feed Meng Jingxian the medicine before turning around and leaving the inner hall.

Yinzhen was actually very touched. In addition to Rouze, Meng Jingxian was the only one who was willing to share his worries. Unfortunately, his heart belonged to Rouze. It was hard for Meng Jingxian to be so infatuated with him.

After all, the emperor is a very simple creature.

As soon as Yinzhen left, Meng Jingxian woke up slowly, and Zhuiyun and Zhuyue were no longer the same as they behaved in front of Yinzhen.

Zhuyue quickly stuffed a candied fruit into Meng Jingxian's mouth, "Your Highness usually hates bitterness, but today I'm sorry to have you drink a big bowl of bitter medicine."

The epidemic gradually dissipated, and Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Xuan were still pregnant. Moreover, Yinzhen wanted to make Meng Jingxian a noble concubine. Although Yixiu felt that Meng Jingxian's body was not posing any threat as she could not sleep with him for a year, it did not prevent Yixiu from feeling that it was a bad year.

Thinking of the two people's bulging bellies, Yixiu felt her headache coming back. She covered her head and cried out in pain, which made Jianqiu feel very distressed.

At this time, the Queen Mother called Yixiu to the Cining Palace.

Wu Ya's face was grim. "The epidemic is over, and the heirs in Huipin and Xuan Guiren's bellies are still fine. Are you disappointed, Queen?"

There was nothing Yixiu didn't understand. The Queen Mother discovered her tricks and intercepted them.

Yixiu looked up and retorted with a smile, "Aunt, why do you say that?"

Wu Ya's words were accusations. "You don't have to put on an act in front of me, Yixiu. Every child in the palace has to call you Empress Mother when they are born. Why do you keep nagging me?"

"Besides, it was an epidemic! Do I need to explain to you what an epidemic is? Don't you know how much harm it brings? You can use other means, why use an epidemic? Do you still remember that you are the mother of the Qing Dynasty? How can you be worthy of the people of the world?"

Yixiu's face was dark. The Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty? When Yinzhen distributed his power, did he ever think that he was the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty? Yinzhen trampled on his face and said it was good, but did he ever think that he was the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty? What did the people of the world have to do with him? They were just some ants and pigs at the bottom of the power. He had been very careful to control them. If he really couldn't control them, it would be their honor to use their lives to fulfill his purpose!

Yixiu said nothing, and Uya had no choice but to let Yixiu go back to the palace to reflect.

"Alas, what a sin, Zhuxi, do you think I did something wrong back then?" Wu Ya lamented in the direction where Yi Xiu left. Zhuxi stepped forward and handed her a cup of tea, "Don't think too much, Empress Dowager, you were forced to do this for the glory of the Ulanara family."

Wu Ya sighed again, "Yes, for the glory of the Ulanara family."
