I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 19 An Lingrong (19)

If Aunt Sun wasn't afraid that she would be in trouble if something went wrong, she really wouldn't want to do such thankless tasks.

She looked neither humble nor arrogant, but she was actually thinking about whether she should take this opportunity to leave Shuiyuxuan, a place full of troubles.

Her original intention was to find a place where she could live out her old age, follow a low-key master, train a few useful maids, and live her life comfortably.

But she didn't expect that man proposes, God disposes, and she felt that the master she followed was not a peaceful one.

The most important thing is that Cui Jinxi is already standing in front of her. No matter how hard she tries to please him, she will probably be outshined.

Besides, he has already offended Wan Changzai to death. If he stays here, he and Wan Changzai will just dislike each other.

Aunt Sun had already made up her mind to be transferred somewhere else, and no longer cared about Zhen Huan's face: "Miss Liuzhu has a clever tongue, and I am not as eloquent as her. But I still have a doubt, the smell in this room seems to flow with the movement of Concubine Wan..." You'd better find an imperial physician to check her out, who knows who might have set her up!

When Aunt Sun said this, Fatty Orange froze.

He hadn't thought of this possibility just now, because he had never encountered such a thing before.

Which concubine doesn't make herself smell good when she sees the emperor?

Once his mind was cleared, the emperor thought carefully again and it seemed that he did smell some unpleasant odors when he was getting along with Zhen Huan yesterday, but the odor was not so strong at the time, and he had just finished exercising and was very tired, so he did not care about it.

It can't really be...

"Su Peisheng, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Zhang Mi over!"

Damn it! The emperor immediately felt that he stinked as well when he thought about it.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but no matter what the result was, the emperor made up his mind that he would share the benefits equally during this period of time.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I can only find that the smell is indeed coming from Wan Changzai, but I can't find out the reason."

Zhang Mi sighed in his heart that the emperor's harem was really full of hidden talents, but it was a pity for them in the Imperial Hospital. People like themselves, at their age, had to be dragged by the emperor to work overtime at every turn. Not only was there no overtime pay, but they were also most afraid of being implicated if they were not careful.

When the emperor heard that Zhang Mi didn't know what caused it, he first scolded Zhang Mi and said, "...you are becoming more and more useless."

Then his stubborn temper came out, and the more he couldn't find out what was going on, the more he wanted to know.

"Su Peisheng, go! Call all the people on duty in the Imperial Hospital. I don't believe it. The Imperial Hospital is full of talented people. No one can find out what happened to Concubine Wan!"

"Whoo!"

Su Peisheng asked the imperial physician to go and see Zhen Huan, who was crying beside the emperor. She looked at him pitifully and kept saying that she was being harmed by someone and asked the emperor to make the decision for her.

The emperor felt pity for her when he saw her crying so pitifully, and was about to reach out and pull her to sit next to him, but suddenly he smelled the stench on Zhen Huan, and all his feelings of pity for her disappeared instantly.

The emperor turned his outstretched hand and took the string of eighteen beads from his other hand and told Huanbi to help her young mistress up. Of course, his expression did not change. "Don't worry, Wanwan. I will investigate this matter and give you an explanation."

The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau were already in place. The Emperor asked them to check Zhen Huan's pulse one by one. Then the physicians asked Zhen Huan in detail what she had eaten recently and whether she had used any special spices.

After a lot of trouble, when the emperor's patience was about to run out, one of the ladies finally pointed at a cake and said, "Your Majesty, this cake contains a lot of fennel powder. Fennel is generally used for seasoning. The smell of fennel will emanate from the pores of the human body, so it is easy to cause body odor.

If it was just fennel, there shouldn't be such a strong body odor, but I just tasted it and found that it also contains a herb called Chunhuiman. Chunhuiman itself has no odor, and it has the effect of strengthening the body. However, if Chunhuiman is taken with fennel and glutinous rice flour, it will not only make the body gradually emit a bad odor, but if taken for seven days, by the spring of the following year, the person will fall into a long sleep and never wake up. " (The author searched on Baidu and made up some of his own ideas. He is not a pharmacologist, so the writing here is very unprofessional. Please read it for fun)

After hearing this, Zhen Huan fell on Huanbi, who was also very anxious: "This pastry is new from the imperial kitchen. Our lady thinks it tastes good and has been eating it these past few days. Counting the days, she has been eating it for three days. I wonder if it will have any effect on her body?"

The emperor also looked at Doctor Liu anxiously: "If you only take it for three days, it will indeed make your body stink for a while, but it won't cause you to fall into a long sleep."

Seeing that the emperor and Zhen Huan looked unhappy, Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly made a patch: "I will prescribe the right prescription as soon as possible. My lady, drink it, and the time your body will stink will be much shorter."

"I understand. You go down and prescribe the medicine. During this period of time, Concubine Wan's health will be left in your care. You must make her get better as soon as possible." Now that the cause of the disease has been found, the emperor does not intend to let these imperial doctors stay to watch the royal family make a fool of themselves.

"I will do my best." Imperial Doctor Liu went down to write a prescription, and the other imperial doctors also left with great courtesy. Su Peisheng had already asked Xiao Xiazi to bring all the relevant people from the imperial kitchen over.

When the emperor pressed them, they just cried that they were wronged: "Your Majesty, please be wise. We are only from the imperial kitchen and don't know pharmacology. We really didn't know that these three ingredients can't be eaten together. Glutinous rice and fennel are commonly used ingredients, and Chunhuiman is also a seasonal dish that happens to be available in this season. We thought that this dish is not common, and we wanted to use it to please Miss Wan Changzai. We really didn't mean to harm Miss Wan Changzai!"

Zhen Huan didn't believe it was just a coincidence, and cried, "Your Majesty, please help me! This pastry didn't exist before, but it was recently developed and sent to my Sui Yu Xuan. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?"

The emperor also didn't believe that this was a coincidence, but the steward was still trying to be stubborn, so the emperor directly asked Su Peisheng to give them all ten strokes of the cane.

After the beating, he pulled them in and asked, "Why don't you tell the truth? If you still don't tell the truth, I will send you all to the Ministry of Punishment for accountability. I will not let you off easily then."

There was a young eunuch who couldn't bear the punishment and was afraid that he would be sent to the Ministry of Punishment and would not be able to get out. "I said, I said! It was Yu who agreed. It was Yu who agreed to let Miss Huasui, who was beside her, send this prescription!"

The young eunuch kowtowed as he explained the whole story: "A few days ago, I promised to take some silver and said that I wanted to present a new cake recipe to please Wan Changzai. I just hope that Wan Changzai can mention her more in front of the emperor when the time comes."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liu Zhu asked again, but everyone had this question, so the emperor didn't care at this time.

The young eunuch replied, "I promised that I would wait until Concubine Wan tasted the cake and felt it was good before coming to personally show my goodwill to Concubine Wan, so the servants did not mention it. I was frightened just now and did not think of it."

This statement is full of loopholes.

However, after knowing the person behind the scenes, the emperor no longer wanted to bother with the little eunuch.

"It is said that I agreed to come to Suiyuxuan."
