"Take it to the Imperial Hospital and have someone prepare the medicine according to the prescription. I need it as soon as possible."
Fucha Jinyi didn't give Donghan a chance to persuade her and directly stuffed the newly acquired fertility prescription into the other party's hands.
Winter Cold: ...
Seeing this, Donghan hesitated, wanting to speak but having no right to do so. Yet, as a servant, she couldn't just watch her master jump into a fire pit.
"Your Majesty, why don't we rest and recuperate first, and then take the prescription when you have recovered more than halfway? It will be more effective then."
Dong Han tried to be as tactful as possible, thinking to herself that she should delay as long as possible, otherwise her master's body could not withstand such intense childbirth.
Fucha Jinyi shook her head. "No, time waits for no one," especially since the Empress Dowager had already expressed her dissatisfaction with her.
As expected, the Empress Dowager will definitely want to remove her from the position of Empress as soon as possible.
The best course of action now is to get pregnant as soon as possible and secure her position before considering anything else.
As for her physical condition, Fucha Jinyi no longer cared too much.
After hearing Fucha Jinyi's brief explanation, Dong Han realized that no matter how much she tried to persuade him, it would be useless, so she simply picked up the prescription and left.
Dong Han needs to consult with a physician at the Imperial Hospital as soon as possible to confirm whether the prescription is truly effective and to minimize any potential side effects. Since he intends to use it, he certainly cannot afford to hold himself back.
And so, Changchun Palace, having obtained the prescription for conceiving a child, began to operate in an extremely low-key manner.
The matter was kept very secret, and even those who had been paying close attention to Changchun Palace for many years did not notice anything amiss.
After all, only a handful of people knew the news, and none of them could be bribed.
Cining Palace Main Hall
The Empress Dowager was unaware that just as she was about to deal with the Empress, her own son had turned the tables on her.
She summoned her maid and whispered to herself how to deal with such a jealous and selfish empress.
"It's a pity that I took a liking to the Empress at first sight back then. All these years of my cultivation of her have been in vain."
Having only been in the palace for a few years, his originally good-natured demeanor has completely vanished.
The Empress Dowager held her head high, automatically ignoring her own growing ambition, and single-mindedly shifted all the blame onto the Empress.
The maids around him echoed their master's words, and occasionally they would even be so bold as to step on him a couple of times.
He would readily spout phrases like "the empress has failed the empress dowager's hard work" or "the empress is too scheming to shoulder great responsibilities."
The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with this, and even her facial expression and body relaxed a lot.
"Alright, the Empress is of the Fuca clan after all, and she cares about her family outside the palace, unlike me, who is wholeheartedly devoted to the Emperor and the Qing Dynasty."
The Empress Dowager shamelessly patted herself on the back, completely oblivious to the fact that by sending Niohuru to the throne, she was also making Niohuru another Fucha.
People always have double standards; they think they can do everything, but others can't.
The Empress and the Empress Dowager, a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, are a typical example.
After boasting about her selflessness, the Empress Dowager immediately thought of something that was bothering her.
"Are Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi still causing trouble?"
Several days had passed since the two women fell and tumbled in Jingren Palace. The Empress Dowager thought that since they were from the Niohuru clan, they would know how to consider the bigger picture. However, she never expected that they would try to outsmart her here.
snort!
What is it all for? Is it so easy to just cut ties like that?
The maid looked somewhat troubled. "Your Highness, Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi are still too young."
Besides, the trouble caused by nourishing tonics was too great; they were also frightened by Consort Hui.
Having learned from the previous example (Consort Hui), Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi no longer had the awareness to risk their lives for healthy offspring.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager's previous scheme against the Empress and her decision to go with the flow already indicated that there was something wrong with the food that Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi ate daily.
Unless they were fools, Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi would choose to refuse.
The Empress Dowager thought that Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi were being pretentious. She thought to herself that nourishing tonics could not be stopped so easily. They were good prescriptions that she had specially asked Lady Niohuru to find.
"The matter concerning Consort Hui was merely due to my momentary oversight; I never expected the Empress to take direct action."
"Right now, I'm taking care of everything for Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi, including their food and daily necessities. They're surrounded by their own people, so what's there to be afraid of?" "Would I possibly harm either of them?"
Maid: ...a fake smile
"Your Majesty, this servant will have someone persuade them. They should at least think about the children in their wombs." How can they be so heartless as to forcibly control their children's food and drink just because they ate too much and got into trouble before?
The Empress Dowager nodded, "You're right, we should try to persuade them."
I myself am of the Niohuru clan, how could I possibly harm them in this regard?
"Reassure them that the imperial physicians will take care of everything they need; nothing will go wrong."
The master and servant exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
What the Empress Dowager cares about most now is the unborn children of Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi.
As for Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi's health after giving birth, will it be detrimental to their well-being?
The Empress Dowager cannot be said to be indifferent, but she certainly paid relatively little attention to it.
Even the Empress Dowager's plan was that as long as either Consort Jin or Noble Lady Yi could successfully give birth to a prince, the mission would be accomplished, and she could accept the loss of either of them.
This is also the main reason why the Empress Dowager insisted on continuing to provide nourishment to both of them, even though she knew that excessive tonics would cause Consort Hui's condition to recur.
As long as the child in her womb is healthy, everything else is secondary.
"Yes, that's all secondary, because all the Empress Dowager and her family want is a prince."
In a side hall of Jingren Palace, Consort Yi spoke expressionlessly, gesturing to her maid to throw away the medicine that had been brought to her.
