She is Shen Jiayi, the cherished daughter of a modern conglomerate, who is kidnapped and dies in a car accident, only to be reborn into the body of Suozhuolun Wanyi, a low-ranking concubine in the ...

Chapter 110 Imperial Sedan Chair

"That's not a good idea! Physician Lu is the Emperor's personal physician. It's already an extraordinary favor that he's assigned to take your pulse. If he were to examine my sister as well, it would give people something to gossip about." Consort Yi didn't want Physician Lu to examine her, but she was afraid of causing trouble.

"It's alright, just come. I'll make all the arrangements and won't let anyone else know. This is just between you and me," Wanyi said confidently, patting her chest.

"Then thank you, sister," Consort Yi said sincerely.

After exchanging a few words with Consort Yi, Wanyi returned to her residence. After finishing her lunch, Wanyi dismissed everyone and then entered her private space.

"It's been so long since I've been here, I didn't even realize it had changed so much." As she spoke, Wanyi went to the spring, scooped up a handful of water, and drank from it.

"What is this? Why does it look so familiar?" Wanyi reached out to grab the blue bead, but suddenly the bead flew into Wanyi's body.

"What happened? How did it get inside my body?" Wanyi touched her belly and found that the baby had moved, which reassured her a lot.

Suddenly, a series of shy and difficult-to-understand characters appeared in her mind, but Wanyi still carefully memorized them, thinking that they must be useful. Only after she had memorized them did the characters disappear, and then the origin of the bead was revealed.

This bead is called the Water Spirit Bead. It can command all the water in the world for its use, and it can also save lives in critical moments.

"It's a pity that she has to be transported by soaking in water. Given her condition, it doesn't seem very useful." Wanyi shook her head and helplessly went to the thatched hut to look through the medicine she needed.

"Cough!" Since Physician Lu came in, Consort Yi had been coughing from time to time. She didn't want to make things difficult for Consort Wan, so she coughed from time to time after coming to Consort Wan's place today.

"What's wrong with Consort Yi? Has she caught a cold? Imperial Physician Lu should take a look at Consort Yi too!" Wan Yi looked at Consort Yi, who was putting on an act, with amusement.

"Please, Consort Yi, extend your hand so that I may take a look." Imperial Physician Lu knew from the beginning that Consort Wan had asked him to examine Consort Yi's pulse.

"Thank you for your help, Physician Lu." Consort Yi was delighted, as she had heard that Physician Lu was a highly skilled physician and an expert in treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases.

"Your Highness, have you ever taken any contraceptives?" After the number was called, Imperial Physician Lu asked with a solemn expression.

"Contraception? I've never touched that stuff, but I have taken fertility-enhancing medicine." Suddenly, Consort Yi seemed to remember something and said.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with the fertility-enhancing medicine?" Consort Yi asked incredulously.

"You'll have to investigate this yourself, Physician Lu. Can Consort Yi still be treated?" Wanyi knew that Consort Yi was capable of bearing children; in her previous life, she gave birth to the Fifth Prince only two years after entering the palace.

"The timing of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively short. If it is discovered too late, even a sage couldn't help it." Actually, this wasn't what Consort Yi was given in her previous life by Uya.

"This is truly a great trouble for Imperial Physician Lu," Consort Yi said with genuine gratitude.

"It is my duty. I will go and prescribe the medicine now." Physician Lu bowed and left. Consort Yi gestured for Qingfen, who was beside her, to follow him.

"Oh dear, Consort Yi, what are you doing!" Wanyi quickly stepped forward to help Consort Yi, who was about to kneel down, to her feet.

"If it weren't for you, sister, I would still be in the dark, being plotted against without even realizing it. If it weren't for you, sister, how could Physician Lu have treated me? I am honored to receive this favor."

Consort Yi is now extremely grateful to Consort Wan. If it weren't for Consort Wan, her family would definitely send someone else in, and if she couldn't produce an imperial heir for a long time, it would only be a matter of time before she was replaced.

"Alright, you were too high-profile when you entered the harem, but there were only a few who had illicit relations with you. I think you already know that. Right now, the most important thing is to take good care of your health and try to get pregnant as soon as possible."

"Sister, I understand." Only then did Consort Yi feel the warmth from her fellow concubine in the palace.

The next day, when the emperor returned to his capital, Wanyi, led by Kangxi, boarded the imperial sedan chair. This was an unparalleled honor, envied by all.

"Your Majesty, I am actually fine now and can return to my carriage," Wanyi said helplessly after settling down.

"My imperial sedan chair is more stable, and since you are carrying the dragon's offspring, it is most suitable for you."

Kangxi didn't care about all that. Since he thought Wan'er was good, he would treat her the best. Kangxi didn't understand that this was what it meant to fall in love. All he knew now was that he couldn't help but be happy whenever he saw Wan'er, and that she was the only person he saw in his heart and eyes.

"It is much safer, but if the Empress Dowager finds out, she will definitely not be happy. I don't want to see the Emperor and the Empress Dowager become estranged," Wanyi said with difficulty.

"How could that be? I have already sent Wei Zhu to tell the Empress Dowager that you are in poor health and that you should return to your carriage after entering the city gate."

Kangxi sighed inwardly, "Wan'er is so good! She always considers my needs. I hadn't noticed this before and had overlooked many things. I won't do that again."

"Your Majesty, I will obey." How could Wanyi not want to stay in the imperial sedan chair? Honor was one thing, but more importantly, the imperial sedan chair was stable and fast, and it even had a tea table with food and drink. She was extremely satisfied. The carriage that led back to her own concubine's carriage had nothing and was bumpy. She would not do such a foolish thing.

She didn't return to her palace until evening. After a long separation, Hongxiu rushed towards Wanyi, but stopped two steps away.

"Your Highness, you're finally back. I was so worried about you." Hongxiu looked Wanyi up and down, and only after confirming that she was alright did she feel relieved.

"I am fine. How has the palace been lately?"

"Nothing major happened in the palace, except that Consort Fu and Consort Shi are gone. I heard that Consort Shi went to visit Consort Fu, but the earthquake happened and buried them together." Hongxiu sighed for a long time when she first heard the news.

"Has our palace been repaired yet?" Wanyi remembered that the west wing was probably the most severely damaged.

"It's already been repaired, so why hasn't Yongshou Palace collapsed as much as other places?" The west wing hall only collapsed a little. And among them, only Tianxiang was seriously injured; the others all suffered minor injuries.

"That's good. Go and get some silver later. Give all the servants in Yongshou Palace a monthly allowance to appease them." She suddenly said to them, thinking that she hadn't rewarded the palace servants in a long time. They say you have to feed a horse if you want it to run.

"The imperial sedan chair? What virtue or ability does Suo Zhuolun have to dare to ride in the Emperor's imperial sedan chair? Didn't you already take action, nanny? How come her pregnancy is still going well?" Consort Tongjia said with dissatisfaction.

"Consort Wan is very capable. She has surrounded Yongshou Palace like an iron barrel, making it impossible to attack her."

Granny Tong had also tried to harm Wanyi twice, but Wanyi had the help of the Empress Dowager, so she was stopped before she even entered Yongshou Palace.
