The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 388

"Nuan Nuan, His Majesty means that you should not go to sea for the time being."

Zhao Minghua also wanted to persuade Chunnuan.

“Well, don’t even think about it for the next two years.” Chunnuan said, “You can’t go out either. I’ve said it before, if we’re going, we’ll go together, otherwise none of us are allowed to go.”

"Warm..."

"Don't forget our agreement before we got married," Xiao Chunnuan said. "You said everything was mine, so what, you're going back on your word now that we're married?"

Three rules to be agreed upon!

Zhao Minghua naturally remembered.

He used this very rule to successfully win the heart of his beloved.

“A man’s word is his bond,” Zhao Minghua said. “I take responsibility for every word you’ve said and remember it all clearly.”

"So you have to take me with you."

“Nuan Nuan, it’s not that I don’t want to take you, it’s that the Emperor clearly doesn’t want me to take you.” Zhao Minghua said with deep emotion, “Nuan Nuan, you are a very capable and extraordinary woman who has made many outstanding contributions. It’s clear that the Emperor feels more at ease with you around, so he won’t let you leave.”

Even all the people in the Imperial Hospital combined couldn't compare to Nuannuan.

Zhao Minghua was incredibly proud!

If such a woman were my wife, and the Zhao family got such a good deal, wouldn't you say I'm amazing?

“I will naturally explain this matter to the Emperor.”

When Xiao Chunnuan was refused by the Emperor when she wanted to go to Qiongzhou, she didn't know that what the Emperor valued was her ability.

In this situation, it's actually a good thing.

Of course, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.

As a result, she was no longer a free person, and it seemed that she would have to report to the Emperor if she wanted to leave the capital.

Spring warmth brought a bitter smile and a shake of the head.

Chunnuan spent another two months successfully developing the antidote for the emperor.

"Before taking the medicine, you should have a medicinal bath and acupuncture on your back."

This was the most difficult thing for Chunnuan, after all, there is a difference between men and women. The emperor, being the supreme ruler, would not allow her to do it.

"I need a doctor who is proficient in acupuncture to assist me."

"Imperial Physician Wan of the Imperial Medical Academy is an expert in acupuncture."

The people in the Imperial Medical Academy are generally not as good as Xiao Chunnuan, but each of them has their own strengths.

"That's good. The acupuncture will be handled by Imperial Physician Wan. It will be a five-day course of treatment. The patient will receive a medicinal bath and acupuncture on time every day, followed by medication and rest." Chun Nuan was still embarrassed: "During the period of taking the medicine, His Majesty needs to abstain from any strenuous activity for eighty-one days. He must not engage in any strenuous activities, including sexual intercourse... He must go to bed at the hour of You (5-7 PM) and must not stay up late, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain."

"Uncle Fu, I'll remember that."

"Yes, this old servant has remembered." Eunuch Fu quickly bowed his head, thinking to himself: It has to be Mr. Xiao, she, a woman, actually said such a... well, you know.

However, he must have remembered that the emperor could not be allowed into the harem within eighty-one days.

In fact, it just means you can't go to Kunning Palace.

That's not right either. Although there is only the Empress in the harem, there are also quite a few palace maids who are quite attractive. Among them are some lowly maids who want to climb into the Empress's bedchamber. These must be guarded against.

"Mr. Xiao, when should we start the medication?"

“Three days from now, Your Majesty must also follow this schedule for these three days.”

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, sir."

This day happened to be the fifteenth.

According to ancestral rules, the emperor must stay overnight in the empress's palace on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month.

The night was the same as usual.

However, when the Empress lay sweetly in his arms, the Emperor remembered Chunnuan's words and only gently pulled her into his embrace without taking anything further.

The Queen was very surprised!
There were no other women in the harem, so they were quite harmonious in this respect.

Generally speaking, they are kindred spirits who understand each other perfectly.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor was not moved tonight. Suddenly, the Empress's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.

It seems there are things in the palace she doesn't know.

The next day, the emperor went to court early.

The Empress did not look well and appeared very tired.

"Master, did you not sleep well last night?"

The old woman beside her asked in a low voice.

The emperor stayed overnight, but did not order water, which was very unusual.

"Yes, I'm a little tired," the Empress said. "Who did His Majesty meet last night?"

At that time, to remain unmoved by temptation was abnormal, very abnormal.

Unless the emperor has exhausted his energy.

But last night he was clearly somewhat interested but didn't take any action, so what's going on?

Is there any record of this in the daily life log of the Imperial Household Department?

In the imperial harem, every woman the emperor favored was recorded, so that the royal bloodline would not be confused.

"This old servant will go and take a look."

The nanny went to check and returned to tell the Empress that there was nothing there.

"Last night, His Majesty summoned Mr. Xiao to the Imperial Study," the nanny said. "Mr. Xiao left after about half an hour."

The Empress nodded. Xiao Chunnuan was a married woman and the one who had saved her and her son's lives, so she had no reason to doubt her.

He had no private contact with any of the other women.

"Master, the Imperial Household Department has received a notice from Eunuch Fu that no green-headed plaques will be issued for three months."

In fact, the emperor did not use the green plaque. After all, there was only one empress in the harem, so why would he need such a thing?
However, the Emperor's overnight stay at Kunning Palace would also be recorded in the daily records of the Imperial Household Department.

Moreover, the fact that Eunuch Fu personally went to inform them of this matter meant that even the Empress would not be able to serve him for the next three months.

"Okay, I understand."

I met with Xiao Chunnuan yesterday, and then made that series of decisions.

It seems this is a major matter concerning the dragon's body.

After the morning court session, the emperor went directly to the Cining Palace.

"My son, I send my regards to my mother."

"Your Highness is here, what a treat! I'll have the kitchen prepare some local delicacies for you to try later."

“Then my son has indeed come to the right place.”

The emperor was also considering staying: "Why don't we have the empress bring the children along?"

"Okay, bring them all over."

The Empress Dowager enjoyed this harmonious and happy life, and immediately ordered her attendants to summon the Empress.

It could even be said that all she ever longed for in her life was this kind of peaceful life surrounded by her children and grandchildren. However, fate played a trick on her. She had some talent and fame when she was young, and because of the needs of her family, she was forced to participate in the imperial concubine selection. She was lucky enough to be chosen by the late emperor as the crown princess, and later became the empress.

Being an empress is a constant battle; though there are no swords or bloodshed, there are always injuries.

The prince's body became a victim of the struggle.

Fortunately, the Xiao family provided protection; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Mother, Xiao Chunnuan entered the palace yesterday. She is preparing to detoxify her son."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

She had been waiting for this news for many years.

"Yes, but for the next three months, I must rest early as she requests, as there are many matters to attend to at court..."

"It's alright. After you finish your work at court, get some rest. If I miss you, I'll come to see you." The Empress Dowager wiped away her tears with joy: "There is nothing that makes me happier than your good health."
