Chapter 586 Twins Good News
The wind and snow outside the palace were so strong that not only did they blow away the gloom weighing on the emperor's heart, but they also caused An Lingrong to develop a high fever.
As soon as An Lingrong opened her eyes, she found herself drowsy and powerless.
"Magpie!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was so thin that it was almost impossible for anyone to hear.
An Lingrong raised her arms with great effort, tapping lightly on the bed with her fingertips.
She knocked in a very regular pattern, and soon attracted the magpie guarding the door of the bedroom.
As soon as she opened the curtain, she saw that her master's face was pale and beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.
Naturally, early in the morning, Yongshou Palace was bustling with activity.
Such a big move in Yongshou Palace naturally could not be concealed. After breakfast, the news spread everywhere.
As soon as Cui Jinxi learned the news, she went back to report it.
"Master, I heard from a sister I know that the Imperial Concubine accompanied the Emperor to relax on a snowy night last night, and before dawn this morning, she summoned the Imperial Physician to see him."
"As soon as the emperor left court, he rushed to Yongshou Palace to visit."
"The Imperial Concubine is unwell, and I should go and visit her."
A complex emotion flashed across Zhen Huan's eyes, and then she stood up.
Bai Zhi, who came in with the medicinal food, hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Master, Doctor Wen sent a message yesterday saying he wanted to take your pulse."
"I see that your complexion is getting worse and worse. Why don't you let Doctor Wen take a look first?"
Cui Jinxi also echoed.
"Master, everything comes first."
"The Imperial Concubine is always kind, so it doesn't matter if you arrive a little late."
"Okay, then I'll wait for Wen Shichu to take my pulse."
With Cui Jinxi's support, Zhen Huan sat back on the couch.
"The Imperial Concubine is unwell, and I cannot go empty-handed. Jinxi, please go to the storeroom and see if there is anything suitable to take with you."
Cui Jinxi suggested in a low voice.
"My Lord, the Imperial Concubine is deeply favored by the Emperor and has seen all sorts of rare treasures. I believe that the gift you send should be thoughtful and thoughtful."
"Just arrange it."
Zhen Huan didn't want to bother herself with other people.
Bai Zhi listened to the conversation between the master and servant and laughed so hard in her heart.
It was the first time she heard someone describe having nothing in such a ethereal way.
She was the one who registered the items in the warehouse, and most of the items sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were face-saving goods.
In order to please Mrs. Shen, Zhen Huan sent some ornaments with marks on them to Yonghe Palace.
In addition to using the remaining items for my own use, I also picked out a small amount that was circulated and collected it to be sent back home.
Now these are not her business, so let Cui Jinxi worry about it.
Baizhi guessed that she would give him an embroidery piece in the end.
Cui Jinxi is a capable person. Since she was assigned to Suiyuxuan, she has secretly changed her embroidery style. The embroidery she creates is almost the same as that of Zhen Huan.
Ordinary people can’t see it.
Wen Shichu arrived quickly with his injured leg, and Bai Zhi quickly led him to the main hall.
When Zhen Huan saw him like this, she didn't bother to greet him.
"The roads are slippery in the snow, and you already have an injured leg. Why don't you rest at home for a few days before entering the palace?"
"Your Majesty, I have promised to take your pulse to ensure your pregnancy. This is my duty."
There was another unfamiliar palace maid in the room, and Wen Shichu didn't dare to overstep the line in the slightest.
The days when Wen Shichu was treating Concubine Shu at Anqi Temple felt like years to him, and he was always thinking about Huan'er in the palace.
When he learned that Anqi Temple had caught fire and Concubine Shu had unfortunately died, Wen Shichu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
He even returned to the palace under the pretext of reporting the news, and even ignored his apprentice's advice and took the initiative to go to Yonghe Palace just to see her.
Wen Shichu would definitely not say these words to the person in front of him.
He followed the rules and took Zhen Huan's pulse in a very methodical manner.
Carefully feeling the beating from his fingertips, Wen Shichu made a serious request to prove his guess.
"Please extend your other hand, Madam."
Zhen Huan's heart tightened, fearing that something might be wrong with her body, and she cooperated nervously.
Wen Shichu took the pulse with both hands at the same time, and after a moment, he smiled.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are pregnant with twins."
Zhen Huan couldn't believe that she had such good luck to be pregnant with two children at once.
"Doctor Wen, are they really twins?"
"Twins are always stronger or weaker. The smaller one has a weaker pulse, which is why I was unable to detect it. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."
Wen Shichu gave Zhen Huan a soothing look.
"My Lady, a woman pregnant with twins will have a larger belly than normal, and usually gives birth before ten months."
Zhen Huan understood what Wen Shichu meant, and she didn't need to hide her belly deliberately.
"Thank you, Doctor Wen, for your understanding. Is there anything else I should be aware of?"
Wen Shichu thought about it and reminded in a low voice.
"Rumors hurt like the cold of June. Please make plans early, Your Majesty."
"Okay, I understand. Baizhi, please send Doctor Wen to see me off."
Concubine Hua has been jumping up and down and asking the imperial physician to take her pulse. In order to prevent her from being too annoying, it is better to inform the emperor about this matter.
It would be best if Concubine Hua could mistakenly believe that the baby in her belly is of the wrong birthdate and report it to the Emperor.
Zhen Huan thought to herself as she walked on the way to Yonghe Palace.
But unexpectedly, the imperial concubine used the excuse of giving her the medicine to relieve her illness and did not show up.
Zhen Huan drank a cup of hot tea and then signaled Cui Jinxi to present the gift she brought.
"Miss Baoque, I will be leaving now. I will come to visit you again when you feel better."
"You are too polite, Madam Zhenfei. My master has ordered that anyone who is pregnant or has children in the palace must not enter the master's bedroom to avoid the spread of illness."
Baoque respectfully asked someone to see it off. When he came back and saw the round fan in the brocade box, he asked Baoe to put it back into the warehouse.
Empress Zhenpin is really thoughtful to give someone a fan in such a cold weather.
Zhen Huan walked out of Yongshou Palace with a stern face, "Jinxi, the wind in the palace is getting stronger and stronger. Next time we go out, we should arrange for a sedan chair."
The Imperial Noble Consort was indeed extremely favored. The Yongshou Palace where she lived was only separated from the Yangxin Palace by a door.
"Yes, master."
Since when, high-ranking ladies in the palace no longer travel in sedan chairs, which is very difficult for pregnant women.
Today, the courtyard of the Yangxin Palace was swept clean without a single snowflake, and the footprints left last night were long gone.
Zhen Huan walked straight to the palace gate without looking around and asked gently.
"Eunuch Su, is the emperor free? I have something to report."
The matter of the twins must be kept secret and it is not convenient to speak about it outside the palace.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will report right away."
Not long after Su Peisheng went in, he came out to invite people.
The emperor, who was sitting at the top, stared straight at the person standing in the center of the hall.
"Concubine Zhen, you came all the way from Zhongcui Palace. What's the important matter?"
When Zhen Huan heard the emperor's words, she couldn't utter the word "Silang".
She bit her thin lips and reported softly.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wen came to the palace today to take my pulse. He diagnosed that I am pregnant with twins."
"I wanted to share this good news with His Majesty, so I came here in person."
"Twins?"
The emperor repeated it and uttered another sentence that made Zhen Huan shudder.
"No wonder your belly looks bigger than other women of the same pregnancy."
