Although Wei Zifu had been in the palace for several years and had given birth to another daughter, she was still living in the Shufang (Wei Zifu).

The maid's room wasn't large, and with the addition of maids, wet nurses, and others, it felt rather crowded.

When the new emperor and Zhang Xuezhou entered, the room became more formal, and there was little room left to move around.

"My daughter has a loud voice; she cries very loudly!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood closer to the door, while the new emperor joked with Wei Zifu, who was recuperating in bed.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong, but this child can't stand the slightest sound. He cries and screams at the slightest noise," said Wei Zifu.

"No need to worry, just focus on recovering. Leave the child to the wet nurse," the new emperor said.

Those who Technique Method are rarely physically robust; Technique Method- type cultivators like Zhang Xuezhou are purely exceptions.

Lady Wei's cultivation level was not low, but her body was as fragile as a tender blade of grass. Even after giving birth for so long, she still looked weak, and she probably lost half her life during childbirth.

Cough cough cough!

Zhang Xuezhou coughed to signal, which made the new emperor raise his head.

"If you feel comfortable letting Madam Wei take the medicine, you can try the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill!"

The Technique Method can forcibly heal wounds, but it is not suitable for people who are delicate and weak. Wei Shao'er was able to withstand the torment of the Supreme Purity True Technique during childbirth, but Wei Zifu could not possibly withstand it like a martial artist.

For those with weak constitutions, the aftereffects of childbirth can only be addressed through gradual recuperation, or by promoting rapid childbirth and timely healing, in order to reduce the lasting damage caused by childbirth.

The imperial physicians who delivered Wei Zifu were clearly far less skilled than the combined efforts of Zheng Wukong, Chunyu Tiying, and Zhang Xuezhou, and they failed to achieve the same effect as the latter.

Zhang Xuezhou unusually recommended the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill, which made the new emperor hesitate for a moment.

The new emperor wasn't reluctant to part with the elixirs; rather, he was afraid that the elixirs Zhang Xuezhou was refining would cause trouble again.

Huo Qubing's belly hasn't gone down yet. If Wei Zifu Wei Zifu to get pregnant, such a thing would be enough to make her question the meaning of life.

"Haha... Zifu, Dongfang Shuo is advising you to take elixirs. Can you swallow them right now?"

The new emperor chuckled dryly. He did not reject the advice of his close advisors, but he handed the initiative over to Wei Zifu.

Of course, if possible, the new emperor hoped that Wei Zifu Wei Zifu politely refuse, since her health could be restored over time, but the outcome of taking Zhang Xuezhou's elixir was uncertain.

"Your Majesty, I can swallow it all! I can swallow anything!"

Wei Zifu, lying on the bed, raised her head and gave an answer that was completely opposite to what the new emperor had hoped for.

This made the new emperor open his mouth, and then he touched his waist.

A porcelain bottle containing elixirs was taken out, and the new emperor reached out and poured out a top-grade, Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill the size of a longan into his palm.

"How many should I eat?" the new emperor asked Zhang Xuezhou.

"Try one first," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Give it a try?"

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou's words, the new emperor felt a little uneasy.

He had considered many people to test the medicine on, but the new emperor never considered Wei Zifu. Moreover, the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill could actually be used for postpartum care, which was completely different from Zhang Xuezhou's initial plan to use it for saving lives on the battlefield.

He beckoned, and a maidservant beside him poured water.

Wei Zifu was clearly much stronger than the new emperor had imagined. Although she lay weakly on the bed, she showed no weakness whatsoever when taking the medicine, swallowing it whole.

"Slow down, don't choke!"

The new emperor asked with concern, only to see Lady Wei reach out and grasp the edge of the bed, coughing for a while.

"If you choked, drink water quickly. I told you I needed water to take my medicine. Dongfang Shuo is a good person, but he..."

The new emperor gently patted Wei Zifu's back. After Wei Zifu coughed repeatedly and vomited a bunch of greenish paste, his expression suddenly changed.

The sounds of crying and commotion inside the Empress's chamber, Wei Zifu's coughing and vomiting, and the sounds of guards pacing back and forth outside the chamber all mingled together.

The once noisy and heavily guarded Jiaofang area now seemed shrouded in shadow.

"What is this? Who made Lady Wei drink it?"

Royal rules were strict, and Lady Wei's daily meals and drinks were recorded, so there was no need to administer medicine.

The new emperor glanced at the female official who was taking notes in the room. The official only stared at her for a few seconds before flipping over the nameplate.

"The Sheng Hua Tang, presented by Zhao Xun of the Imperial Medical Hall, is made from angelica, chuanxiong, peach kernel, black ginger, and roasted licorice. It can remove lochia and facilitate childbirth," the female official in charge of records said.

Damn it!

The new emperor cursed under his breath.

Everything went smoothly. The medicinal soup had a producer, the source of the medicinal materials was traceable, the efficacy was verifiable, and the effects were harmless. However, judging from Wei Zifu's condition, the medicine seemed to have had an adverse effect.

The new emperor was well-versed in many classic texts, but he was broad in knowledge but not in depth, so how could he possibly discern where the errors lay?

But the new emperor knew very well that medicine could save lives or harm people, and the same medicine could cause different symptoms in different people.

He made many arrangements in the Empress's quarters, and apart from a few people and the imperial physician, there were almost no other distractions, but he did not expect that an accident would still almost occur.

This may have been purely accidental, but the new emperor couldn't rule out the possibility that someone had interfered.

He considered several people in his mind, then ruled them out, and for a moment he was completely at a loss.

"His Majesty's gift is truly a miraculous medicine!"

The new emperor was filled with many thoughts. When Wei Zifu was lying face down coughing, vomited a lot and raised her head, he saw that Wei Zifu face was no longer weak and pale as before, but instead had a very healthy rosy glow.

When the new emperor gently grasped Wei Zifu's right hand, he could even clearly sense that Wei Zifu's weak physical strength had returned to normal.

The aura of Law Power began to emerge and condense, and the echoes of Law Power flowing through the acupoints resonated, as the power belonging to the cultivator Wei Zifu was returning.

The new emperor had considered that the elixir would be very powerful, but he hadn't imagined it would be this powerful.

Despite a month of treatment by numerous Wei Zifu at the Imperial Medical Hall, it was all for naught after just one pill.

"Zifu, is there anything wrong with your stomach?"

Thinking of Jin Wanliang and Huo Qubing's symptoms, the new emperor was still somewhat uneasy, fearing that joy might turn into sorrow.

While the Imperial Medical Hall physicians who treated Wei Zifu could be investigated to uncover any potential connections, someone like Zhang Xuezhou couldn't investigate even if he wanted to, since the new emperor knew all about it.

"My belly... This lowly concubine wishes to change her clothes!"

Wei Zifu touched her belly, her expression changed, and she quickly got out of bed, clutching her belly as she rushed behind a makeshift screen.

"Zifu, is your belly big or not?"

Hearing the rustling sound behind the screen, two maids who were calling to their left and right hurriedly followed him inside, leaving the new emperor outside shouting twice.

"Dongfang Shuo, Zifu's belly hasn't flattened yet after giving birth. What if it gets bigger again?"

The new emperor paced back and forth several times, then asked Zhang Xuezhou another question.

"I've never heard of anyone getting a big belly after taking this medicine," Zhang Xuezhou complained.

"I have never seen anyone get pregnant after taking Grain Avoidance Pill before!"

The new emperor responded.

However, his tone was not harsh, after all, the effects of the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill were so immediate that he could even feel that Madam Wei's body had almost completely recovered in a short period of time.

If Lady Wei's belly were a little bigger, the new emperor felt he could accept this flaw; at most, he would have Lady Wei drink less water and exert more physical strength in the near future.

He chatted with Zhang Xuezhou for a couple of minutes, and then a blushing face appeared behind the screen.

When Wei Zifu stepped out from behind the screen and walked a few steps, there was no trace of her postpartum plumpness or large belly.
