Chapter 275 Accompanying
Seeing Shen Meizhuang frown, Huanbi hurriedly explained.
"Empress Hui, please don't be anxious. Please listen to me carefully."
There was a hint of sincerity in her words.
"Noble Consort Hua, Noble Consort Shu, and the neighboring Consort Jing all take care of the child personally. I believe you also take care of Princess Longyue in the same way."
"But if you are tripped by Princess Longyue, what will happen if the emperor visits the palace maids?"
"This servant is willing to help your majesty by taking care of Princess Longyue."
Huanbi silently added in her heart that she would also share the burden of taking care of the emperor.
Shen Meizhuang looked intently at the man who seemed to be thinking about her and spoke sternly.
"Noble Lady He, it doesn't look to me like you're here to look after Princess Longyue. What exactly is your purpose? Why don't you confess it honestly?"
Huanbi's heart skipped a beat. When she lived in Suiyuxuan before, she thought Huipin was easy to fool. Why did she have such a brain this time?
Her mind was racing as she knelt on the ground and apologized.
"Empress Hui's eyes are sharp, and this concubine does have her own little thoughts."
"I heard that Ganlu Temple is very close to Qingliang Terrace, and I want to see Sister Wan from afar."
"It's all because of me, a useless concubine. I can only watch Sister Wan suffer, but I can't plead for her with the Emperor."
As Huanbi spoke, she began to cry and kowtowed to Shen Meiyu.
"I beg Her Majesty Huipin to fulfill my concern."
"Sister Wan must be heartbroken that Minister Zhen and his family were exiled. Now that I finally have the opportunity to leave the palace, I have no choice but to shamelessly ask Your Majesty for your blessing."
"I don't expect to enter Ganlu Temple to meet you, I just want to take a glimpse of the place where Sister Wan lives from afar."
"If this is causing you great difficulty, I beg you to send the boxes and crates you have prepared to Ganlu Temple."
She recalled the difficult life her elder sister had lived after leaving the palace, and she cried uncontrollably. Her sad and suppressed sobs soon turned into loud wails.
Shen Meizhuang was upset by her crying and had to compromise.
"I will go to the Yangxin Palace, but I cannot guarantee that the Emperor will agree."
"Thank you, Madam Hui."
Huanbi kowtowed excitedly to express her gratitude.
"It's too embarrassing to cry like that. Go back to Changchun Palace and wait for news from me."
Shen Meizhuang, in a bad mood, drove the people away.
After being reminded by Concubine He, she realized that their destination, Qingliangtai, was very close to Ganlu Temple, and Lingyun Peak where Zhen Huan lived was only half a day's drive from Qingliangtai.
No wonder the emperor specifically asked her to accompany him and brought Princess Longyue along.
The emperor never let Zhen Huan go.
Shen Meizhuang thought of Princess Longyue resting in the east side hall and couldn't help but stroke her belly.
Even if Longyue was registered under her name, its future ownership would depend on the emperor's words.
It is better to give birth to the child yourself.
Huanbi's intentions were not pure, but she did say one thing that was right: this trip was a rare godsend opportunity.
"Caiyue, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Chenpi to come and take your pulse. Remember to tell Doctor Chen..."
After more than half an hour, Shen Meizhuang put away the small medicine bottle that Chenpi handed over.
She anxiously asked the person who withdrew his hand.
"Doctor Chen, you said that my body had recovered a long time ago, but why haven't I conceived a dragon fetus yet?"
"Your Majesty, perhaps it's not your destiny yet. I have rolled the fertility-enhancing medicine into pills so it won't attract attention. Please continue to take it."
Chenpi had some ideas in his mind, but because they were too outrageous, he couldn't say them directly.
On his first day in the Imperial Hospital, his master repeatedly reminded him that people who talk too much cannot survive in the palace.
"Your Majesty, I heard from Miss Caiyue that you will be leaving the palace soon. May I ask if you need to prepare some common medicines?"
The Shen family was generous, and Chenpi, as the beneficiary, took the initiative to demonstrate his value.
"Thank you, Doctor Chen, for your reminder. I'd be so kind as to prepare some common medicine bags. It's still snowing outside, so I'll have someone go with you right away."
Over the past year or so, Shen Meizhuang has sent Chen Pi's prescriptions and medicine bags out for inspection one after another, and no mistakes have been found.
As it turned out, the imperial physician the family found was a trustworthy person.
Shen Meizhuang gave Caiyue a wink, and she immediately followed Chenpi out the door, casually handing over a small purse filled with golden melon seeds.
The medicine juice is something that is to be taken orally, and Shen Meizhuang has been paying special attention to it since she was plotted against.
Every time the Imperial Medical Bureau prescribed medicine, she would send her confidant to get it, leaving no chance for anyone to do anything bad.
When Shen Meizhuang took the bitter and sour pill, her face changed shape.
The medicinal herbs used by Doctor Chen are becoming more and more unique. I hope they will work this time.
No matter what, she must get pregnant!
Shen Meizhuang thought about it for two days and agreed with what Huanbi said.
As soon as the snow stopped that day, she carried Princess Longyue into the sedan chair.
The thick curtains blocked the cold wind outside. Shen Meizhuang looked at Longyue who was sitting obediently in her arms with mixed feelings.
This covered sedan chair was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs half a month after she brought Longyue back to Chuxiu Palace.
Looking at this bright pink now, isn’t it Longyue’s favorite color?
Why didn't she see through it at the time?
Not long after, the sedan chair stopped and a gentle look appeared on Shen Meizhuang's face.
"Longyue, mother will take you to see the emperor, you must be obedient."
"Mother, Longyue will be a good boy."
Long Yue, whose cheeks were growing fleshy, nodded heavily.
Aunt Caiyue, who was coaxing her to sleep, said that her mother had spent all day trying to nourish her body, and she had to be obedient.
Su Peisheng saw the pink sedan from afar and knew what was going on.
When he saw Princess Longyue being carried out by Concubine Hui, he tiptoed into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is here with Princess Longyue."
"Let them come right in."
The emperor, who was busy dealing with memorials, said this without even raising his head.
"Su Peisheng, have someone bring over a plate of jujube and yam cake. Concubine Hui said Longyue loves it."
"The slave obeys."
Su Peisheng quickly backed out, not daring to be negligent.
The last time Huipin rode an uncovered sedan chair to Shoukang Palace, the emperor rewarded him with five strokes of the cane when he found out.
Fortunately, he was wearing warm clothes in winter and his subordinates did not use too much force on him, so he did not end up limping.
Now that the two masters of Chuxiu Palace are valued by the master, Su Peisheng has to suppress his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Not long after Huipin went in, the emperor asked Su Peisheng to send someone away.
When refilling the tea, the emperor gave the order with a gloomy face.
"Su Peisheng, send someone to pass on my order to have Concubine Chun, Noble Lady Rou, and Noble Lady He accompany me on the trip."
