An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

Chapter 626 Shen Meizhuang’s Hatred

Wen Shichu caught a glimpse of the young eunuch who was walking away and was looking towards this side. He walked forward respectfully and bowed to Shen Meizhuang.

"I have specially added some nourishing herbs to your prescription, which will make you feel much better."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Wen. I know my own health, so please don't waste those precious herbs."

Shen Meizhuang looked past Wen Shichu and looked at the auspicious door behind him, but there was no one there.

"Listen to me, when we were paying our respects this morning, Concubine Qi suddenly attacked you, saying that you and Huan'er were having an affair."

"Doctor Wen, you must be prepared."

Shen Meizhuang took advantage of Wen Shichu's fear and moved two steps to the right without leaving any trace.

This has a good view and can detect people coming from the opposite direction in time.

"Master Wen? Master Wen? Are you okay?"

Wen Shichu came back to his senses and looked at Shen Meizhuang with gratitude.

"Thank you, Her Majesty Hui, for your advice. However, this is after all on the main road to the West Six Palaces. Your Majesty is taking a great risk by hastily reminding me."

He took the initiative to extend his hand.

"There are people watching nearby. May I take your Majesty's pulse?"

"Well, then Lord Lawwin."

Shen Meizhuang took out a handkerchief and covered her wrist.

Although she spoke politely, she looked at Wen Shichu, who lowered his head, with an indescribable hatred in her heart.

Feeling the warmth coming through the handkerchief, Shen Meizhuang remembered the words that had been lingering in her dreams.

She kept asking herself several times after waking up from her dream, how could a lady carefully nurtured by the Shen family be so blind as to fall in love with a man like Wen Shichu who had no medical ethics and no moral integrity?

However, the answer remains unknown.

Now when Shen Meizhuang looked at Wen Shichu in front of her, her heart was filled with anger at the audacious imperial physician who seduced the palace concubine.

It's no wonder that Concubine Qi suspected that Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu were having an affair.

Seeing that Wen Shichu was still taking her pulse, Shen Meizhuang's eyes darkened and she suddenly spoke.

"Doctor Wen got engaged a few days ago. I was really rude not to send anyone to congratulate him."

"May I ask if you and Sister Huan'er have set a date for your wedding? I will give you a generous gift when the time comes."

"When Huan'er told me about this the other day, I sent a letter home. But I didn't expect the two elders of the Wen family to be so eager to have a grandson that they came to propose marriage the day after Aunt Zhen returned home."

"When Huan'er told me about this, her face was also filled with emotion. She said you couldn't wait any longer."

Shen Meizhuang noticed the increasing force of her fingertips on her wrist and smiled knowingly.

Wen Shichu really had his heart tied to Zhen Huan.

She tried a little and then tricked him out.

"Your Majesty, my parents are indeed a little anxious. When I went home and mentioned it to them, they said they wanted to settle it as soon as possible."

"Yes. Huan'er said Yurao is a good girl and she is very confident in leaving her to you."

Shen Meizhuang caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure approaching from the corner of her eye, and she smiled and joked.

"Doctor Wen, you came to the Zhen family to propose marriage in such a hurry. If you and Sister Huan'er have set a date for the wedding, you must inform me."

"If I still hear the news of your marriage from Huan'er..."

"Forget it. I don't know how long this body of mine can hold out. I'll send the gift to your house in the next few days."

"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong with your body. As long as you take good care of yourself, you'll definitely get better."

After Wen Shichu withdrew his hand, he persuaded with a serious face.

"Empress Zhenfei is always thinking of you..."

"Doctor Wen, the Imperial Concubine has requested you, so I won't waste your time."

While Shen Meizhuang reminded loudly, she also warned in a voice that both of them could hear.

"The Emperor has always been suspicious. Doctor Wen, please be careful with your words and actions and don't cause any trouble for Huan'er!"

"I will take my leave now."

Wen Shichu knew that Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan had a deep sisterly love, and did not take her sudden unfriendly attitude to heart.

Qingju, who was standing by, saw Wen Shichu walking towards Yongshou Palace and hurried over to support his master.

Shen Meizhuang took a few steps towards the auspicious gate. When she saw the bright yellow material flash by, she turned around with a smile on her face.

Qingju felt the secret signal coming from her hand and spoke worriedly.

"Master, you are so weak, why are you still coming out to spread rumors about Concubine Zhen?"

Shen Meizhuang sighed heavily.

"Qingju, I have known Huan'er since childhood, and I have always treated her like a younger sister. As a sister, how can she not love her younger sister? Just like how she let Wen Shichu marry Yurao."

"It's a pity that my frail body won't be able to survive until the lotus season. Thinking back to the days when Huan'er and I went out to pick lotus, I still can't forget them."

Qingju listened to her master's words and tears welled up in her eyes.

She comforted softly.

"Your Highness, please stop saying such depressing things. I heard from the Imperial Hospital that Doctor Wen comes from a family of doctors and his medical skills are truly inherited. He will do his best to treat you for the sake of Your Highness Zhenfei."

Even though this was the statement agreed upon by the master and servant, there was still some excitement in Qingju's words.

My master was fine more than half a month ago, but since Concubine Zhen came to visit, he has become visibly weak.

Qingju knew that if a person lost the breath to live, even gods could not cure him.

Shen Meizhuang gently patted Qingju's hand.

"What's the use of having good medical skills? The doctors in the Imperial Hospital can only cure diseases, not save lives."

"Qingju, if that day ever comes, I beg you to take good care of Longyue."

Qingju shook her head anxiously.

"My Lady, please don't say such discouraging words. You still have Princess Longyue to get married."

"Princess Longyue is under the watchful eyes of you and Concubine Zhen. I'm sure she will marry into a good family."

"A good family? I just hope the emperor won't implicate her in the future."

Shen Meizhuang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Longyue is a child with a miserable life. She was sent away shortly after she was born. Now that she has finally settled down, my health is so bad."

"I had previously considered sending her back to Huan'er. But after seeing how Huan'er cared for Princess Lingxi that day, I'm no longer so sure."

"Longyue is the child I have raised for several years. How can I bear to let her suffer?"

"If I really can't hold on any longer, I hope Concubine Lan can protect Longyue."

"She and Huan'er are different after all."

Shen Meizhuang's words gently floated into the ears of the emperor who was hiding behind the door. He wanted to listen more to what Concubine Hui would say.

But I didn't expect to hear a heart-wrenching cough afterwards.

Concubine Hui indeed had a miserable life, and her love for Longyue could not be fake.

The emperor decided to send Li Songling to check on her.

Shen Meizhuang was still on the other side of the auspicious gate, so it was not a good time for him to go out.

The emperor, who was standing in the breeze, went over what Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu had just said in his mind, and his face gradually darkened.

Only after Shen Meizhuang finished saying these ambiguous words did she feel a lot more relieved.

She would catch anyone who bullied her and kill them one by one.
