Chapter 161 Consort Fucha
Chapter 161 Noble Lady Fucha
When the news of the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince's successive pregnancies reached Zhen Huan's ears...
An ominous premonition instantly welled up in my heart.
But even more terrifying things followed.
When news came again from the princes' quarters that the fourth prince, Hongli, had also become pregnant.
Zhen Huan's heart sank suddenly, and a chill rose from her spine, instantly spreading throughout her body.
Before the smallpox outbreak, Hongli often went to Suiyuxuan, where Zhen Huan lived, and had frequent contact with Lingxi and Hongzhan.
The siblings were already physically weak, and if they were to contract smallpox, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Zhen Huan felt her mind buzzing and in complete confusion.
A mother's strength is boundless. Zhen Huan was momentarily flustered, but she quickly remembered how to handle the situation.
She took a deep breath, mustered her strength, and shouted loudly to Xiaoyunzi beside her:
"Quickly, go and fetch Physician Wen!"
Upon hearing this, Jinxi quickly stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wen is currently at Yanxi Palace taking care of Consort Shu's sixth prince."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan frowned, her heart filled with anxiety, but she quickly made a decision, gritting her teeth and saying:
"Then go and invite Wei Lin over, and be sure to do so quickly!"
Xiao Yunzi dared not delay, and after responding, she quickly took the order and left.
Zhen Huan paced back and forth in the palace like an ant on a hot pan.
My heart was filled with anxiety, and every minute and every second seemed to last forever.
Not long after, Wei Lin, whose face was covered with a cloth, hurried over, bowed to Zhen Huan, and said:
"Your Majesty, please do not worry. Your humble servant will examine the two young masters first."
Having said that, he went to Lingxi and Hongzhan's side and gently placed his fingers on their wrists.
He began to take the pulse with complete concentration.
Zhen Huan stood to the side, her eyes fixed intently on Wei Lin without blinking.
I was afraid of missing any subtle change in his expression.
At this moment, the entire room was so quiet that only the tense breathing of everyone could be heard.
After a long while, Wei Lin slowly raised his head.
His already serious face now appeared even more solemn.
His brows were furrowed and his lips were slightly pursed, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Finally, he spoke:
"The little princess and the little prince have developed fever symptoms, but it is not yet certain whether this is a sign of pregnancy."
However… judging from the current situation, they are very likely infected with smallpox!
These words struck Zhen Huan like a bolt from the blue.
She felt a buzzing in her head, and her body swayed involuntarily a few times.
If it weren't for Jinxi's quick thinking and timely support, she probably would have fallen to the ground on the spot.
As Jinxi supported Zhen Huan, she gently comforted her:
"Your Majesty, please do not panic. As Physician Wei just said, it is only a possibility, and it may not really be smallpox."
However, Zhen Huan was not listening to these words of comfort at this moment.
Her heart was already consumed by fear.
The terrible symptoms of smallpox and its possible consequences kept flashing through my mind.
Just then, Wei Lin spoke up again:
"Your Majesty, I will first prescribe a medicine for the little princess and the little prince, and take some preventative measures."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan grasped at the last straw.
She quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Then, in a slightly trembling voice, he said:
"Then I will have to trouble Physician Wei. Please be sure to prescribe the medicine as soon as possible."
After Wei Lin bowed in acceptance, he dared not delay for the slightest.
He turned and left in a hurry, busy preparing the prescription and medicinal materials.
Zhen Huan slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, extending her slightly trembling hands.
Gently stroking Lingxi and Hongzhan's small faces, which were no bigger than the palm of a hand.
Looking at the children's flushed faces due to fever, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
His eyes were filled with deep worry and heartache.
These two children have suffered far too much since birth.
Should she not have brought them into this world to suffer?
Jinxi stood to the side, her brows furrowed. After struggling internally for a long time, she finally spoke:
"Your Majesty, please forgive my bluntness, but your health is not good."
If the princess and prince unfortunately contract smallpox, you must take care of yourself first!
After all, only if you are safe and sound can you better take care of the two young masters.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan slowly shook her head, her eyes firm yet resolute, and softly replied:
"Jinxi, as the mother of these children,"
How could we bear to just stand by and watch them suffer from illness and do nothing?
If they really contract smallpox, I would rather die with them than live alone.
Thinking of this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Could this be retribution for the evil thoughts I harbored in the past?
In this world, her only remaining relatives are her siblings Lingxi and Hongzhan.
If she loses them, what is the point of her lingering existence?
Looking at Zhen Huan's sorrowful expression, Jinxi knew that further persuasion would be futile.
He could only sigh helplessly.
Just then, Wei Lin and Liu Zhu hurriedly walked in.
He was holding a freshly brewed herbal medicine in his hand.
Wei Lin stepped forward quickly, bowed, and said:
"Your Majesty, the medicine is ready. We need to give it to the young masters while it's still hot."
Zhen Huan nodded quickly and, together with Jinxi, reached out to take the medicine bowl.
Then, Zhen Huan gently sat on the edge of the bed, carefully scooped up a spoonful of medicine, and brought it close to Lingxi's lips.
He coaxed her gently, "My dear daughter, drink this medicine, and you'll get better soon."
However, Lingxi was already delirious from the fever, her mouth tightly closed, making it impossible for her to swallow the medicine.
Zhen Huan was extremely anxious, but she couldn't think of any effective solution for the time being.
Then she turned to Hongzhan and patiently tried to feed him the medicine.
However, Hongzhan was the same; not only did he refuse to take the medicine, but he also kept twisting his body because he was uncomfortable.
This resulted in a lot of the medicine being spilled onto the bedding.
Seeing the two children in such pain, Zhen Huan
My heart was breaking, tears welled up in my eyes, but I was helpless.
Big Fat Orange received devastating news of his sons contracting smallpox time and time again, and almost collapsed.
This was the first time he had lost his composure like this.
The chubby orange cat stared furiously at Su Peisheng, who was kneeling on the ground trembling.
He questioned through gritted teeth:
"Su Peisheng! Have you investigated this matter thoroughly for me?"
Who on earth is so vicious as to dare to repeatedly harm my princes! They are trying to ensure my lineage is cut off!
The sound boomed through the palace like thunder, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.
