The palace servant's report at the door interrupted their conversation.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Lin is here to see you."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Rou replied without hesitation, "Tell Doctor Lin to go back. I don't need to see any patients today."
Her voice was quite loud, and Doctor Lin outside the door naturally heard it.
Could it be that Concubine Rou also heard some crazy talk?
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you on the orders of the Emperor."
A familiar voice reached her ears, and Roupin tightened her grip on the handkerchief.
Since it was the emperor who asked Doctor Lin to come, it proved that the emperor knew that Doctor Lin had been treating her recently. If she refused, she would have something to hide.
After a moment's silence, he raised his voice and said, "Then come in."
Jinzhi went to open the door and invited Doctor Lin in.
Doctor Lin was still followed by his apprentice.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you."
Concubine Rou sat upright on the chair, extended her hand and said calmly, "Doctor Lin, there's no need to be so polite. Please take my pulse."
Seeing that Concubine Rou looked like she wanted to keep him away from her, Doctor Lin felt resentful in his heart.
I don't know who spread the news. He and Concubine Rou have never talked about anything, so how could there be an affair between them?
Seeing that Doctor Lin had finished taking the pulse and withdrew his hand, Jinzhi hurriedly asked, "Doctor Lin, the queen has been taking the medicine according to your prescription, but why is she still not getting better?"
Doctor Lin signaled his apprentice to bring the medicine box and handed a prescription to Concubine Rou.
"If the medicine doesn't help, Your Majesty, you might as well ask the princess for help."
Concubine Rou only said that she had prickly heat on her back. Although he was an imperial physician, he couldn't tell whether it was prickly heat or something else on Concubine Rou's back, so he couldn't prescribe the right medicine.
"Okay," Roupin understood what he meant and signaled Jinzhi to take the medicine and send the person out.
When the palace maid beside Concubine Huang saw Doctor Lin coming out of Concubine Rou's room, she hurried to tell Concubine Huang.
"Master, Imperial Physician Lin is here to see Concubine Rou again."
"Did that fool Lady Chen make any moves?"
Lady Huang stood up, walked to the window, looked at Doctor Lin's departing back and asked.
"Today, Concubine Rou went to see Concubine Chen. I don't know what they talked about. After Concubine Rou left, Concubine Chen said she would not let the master go."
"What?" Lady Huang turned around abruptly and stared at the maid, "Why are you saying this now?"
The maid was frightened by her stare and trembled as she said, "Master, you asked me to keep an eye on Concubine Rou. I wanted to tell you right away, but I saw Doctor Lin coming this way, so I was delayed."
"What an idiot! What on earth is going on in Lady Chen's head?"
Lady Huang was so angry that her chest was heaving and her eyes were almost spitting fire.
If a normal person knew about this, wouldn't they try to find evidence? When the evidence was irrefutable, they could report the matter to the emperor.
Concubine Chen was so good that she went straight to find the real person. Was she trying to test Concubine Rou?
Thinking of this, Concubine Huang felt that it was almost certain, otherwise Concubine Chen would not have said that she would not let Concubine Rou go after she left.
Why is this person's brain different from theirs? Even if she doesn't look for evidence, with her impulsive personality, she will run to the emperor to complain regardless of everything.
There will be no evidence by then, so it’s better for Lady Chen to just commit suicide.
But now, this fool Concubine Chen not only did not commit suicide, but also made Concubine Rou be on guard.
"Master, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. As long as Concubine Rou continues to allow Doctor Lin to see her, there will be no shortage of opportunities."
After the palace maid finished whispering beside her, Lady Huang suddenly smiled with a calculating look on her face.
"Yes, Concubine Rou is not much smarter than Concubine Chen. We still have a chance."
If the two of them have an affair, that would be even better. If not, she would create one for them. If the matter gets out of hand, she could implicate the three concubines.
The smile on Lady Huang's lips continued to grow. When the three concubines were suppressed, it would be her time to come to the fore.
…
Concubine Rou, who was heading to Concubine Xian's bedroom, couldn't help but sneeze.
She raised her hand to rub her nose and muttered, "Which bastard is cursing me behind my back?"
Jinzhi chuckled, "Master, autumn is different now than before. You should wear more clothes."
As the two were talking, they had already arrived at Concubine Xian's Zuihua Palace. The palace servant at the door saw that it was Concubine Rou and greeted her with a smile.
Concubine Rou nodded and walked into the inner room. Concubine Shu and Concubine De were planning to leave, but when they saw Concubine Rou come in, they sat down again.
"Just now, Concubine Xian was wondering what Concubine Rou was busy with recently, and now she's here."
As Concubine De spoke, she pushed the fruits in front of her towards Concubine Rou.
"Greetings to you sisters," Roupin said, sitting down on an empty chair after greeting her. She sighed, "I've had prickly heat on my back lately, and I don't know why."
Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Rou jokingly, then looked at the fruit in front of her. "Eat more fruit to reduce your internal heat, and it will probably be fine. I was wondering if you were hiding and making toys for Luo'er again."
"Sister Shufei," Roupin blushed and gave Shufei a reproachful look, "I didn't make toys for the little princess in the first place. Now that you've said that, I can't justify not doing something."
They smiled at each other, and De Fei suddenly asked seriously, "Didn't Sister Roupin go to see the imperial physician?"
Yu Yiluo, who was brought to Concubine Xian's bedroom by the emperor, complained after hearing this.
How could she not have seen it? If she hadn't, how could others spread rumors about her and Doctor Lin?
Although Empress Xian didn't understand what the scandal was, since it involved Imperial Physician Lin, it was definitely not a good thing.
Seeing the emperor come in, several people hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
After they sat down, they all quieted down, and the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.
Is he some kind of monster? They were chatting happily just now, but he came in and they fell silent.
"Shufei," the emperor took the initiative to speak when no one else spoke, "Is the bedroom you arranged for Concubine Shu ready?"
"I have made all the arrangements."
After that, the room fell silent again.
[Aunt Roupin probably hasn't told Mother about Concubine Chen yet.]
Thinking of the secret guard's report, Yu Yiluo laughed wildly in his heart.
[This is hilarious. Concubine Chen was so foolish as to test Aunt Roupin. Who would be so foolish as to admit it?]
[You are not smart and yet you are imitating others to threaten others.]
[I'm afraid Lady Huang didn't expect Lady Chen's train of thought to be like this, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of using Lady Chen. This is good. She failed to use her and instead alerted the enemy.]
Empress Xian lowered her eyes and analyzed Yu Yiluo's thoughts, and roughly understood what was going on.
The emperor brought Yu Yiluo here on purpose to let her reveal something to Concubine Xian, so she sat for a while and then got up and left.
"Huh," Roupin sighed heavily after seeing the emperor leave. "It's scary when the emperor doesn't speak."
After saying this, Concubine Rou suddenly looked solemn.
"All of you go down."
Guessing that she was going to talk about what Luo'er had mentioned in her heart, Concubine Xian sent away the servants around her.
"What's wrong? Did that damn old woman Shu Taifei threaten you?"
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Rou and teased.
Concubine Rou recounted everything that had happened today, looking frustrated.
