Chapter 245 Ancient World 62: Medicine

You have to know that Qin Zhiwan and Zuo Zhizhi are about the same age, so they have naturally been married for a long time.

The reason why she was successfully selected this time was because she was a widow.

That’s right, she got married two years ago, but her husband died early, so she returned to her parents’ home as a widow.

Originally, she could only live a hasty life, but her family took advantage of this talent show to squeeze her in.

Although she was not qualified in any aspect, Qin Zhiwan was successfully selected, perhaps to save face for her family.

Although there is not much hostility towards widows remarrying nowadays, not many widows enter the harem as remarried women.

Zuo Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh, it was really the appeal of imperial power that made everyone vying for it.

The harem was quite lively for a while, and because of her sister, Zuo Zhizhi also paid close attention.

Today this beauty is dancing in the imperial garden, tomorrow that beauty is singing by the lake, and sometimes there is also the heart-warming soup sent by my cousin. It is really a feast for the eyes.

There was no way around it. Everyone knew that they entered the palace to compete for favor with only one purpose, which was to give birth to a prince as soon as possible.

Now in the entire harem, there are only two princes and one princess born by my sister. Apart from them, no one else is pregnant.

Although there was no other woman before, everyone didn't think too much about it and just wanted to get pregnant as quickly as possible.

Zuo Qing'an had already seen through all of this. Apart from paying her respects on time, she did not restrict these people from doing anything. If they wanted to win favor, it didn't matter if they sang, danced, played the piano, or even painted. As long as they didn't cause any major trouble in the palace, everything would be fine.

Zuo Zhizhi would sometimes go to the palace to accompany Zuo Qing'an. Originally, she didn't want to see her sad, but unexpectedly, she saw her looking at everyone as if they were a clown.

Zuo Zhizhi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "Sister, aren't you worried?"

She didn't finish her words, but everyone understood.

Isn't he worried that his favor will be taken away by others? Isn't he worried that his position will be shaken? Isn't he worried that his son's position as crown prince will be shaken?

Zuo Qing'an was naturally worried, but she was powerless to change it, so she could only try her best to control the current situation.

After all, only if the harem is stable can they have a chance of winning.

Now these people are just vying for favor, but once they give birth to a prince, it will become a joint battle between the former dynasty and the harem. After all, there is only one position of emperor!

Zuo Qing'an's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly reacted, "It's okay, just do your best to manage the harem! Only by balancing the interpersonal relationships in the harem can we live well!"

Zuo Zhizhi looked around and didn't find any protagonist in the harem, just an ordinary harem fight.

Although ordinary harem fights are already very terrifying, in the harem, children must grow up first before there is room for discussion!

In just a few months, someone got pregnant and gained favor. Seeing this, others could only work harder to win favor and try to get pregnant as soon as possible.

Zuo Qing'an is still relatively calm now. After all, she and Duan Huairen have been married for such a long time, so they naturally understand each other's temperament and character.

Although he appears to have no ambition and hides himself completely, he actually hides all his hatred deep in his heart until he has the ability to take revenge.

Now, as the queen who has shared hardships with him, Zuo Qing'an is naturally in an invincible position. What's more, she has already begun to train a crown prince. Although the title of the crown prince has not been decided, the team has been decided.

Others just don't want to give up and want to give it a try!

Although the Zuo family was very worried, they could only wait for now!

But to be honest, although everyone in the court had their own little thoughts, no one dared to confront the Zuo family openly.

Not to mention that the two current princes were both born to the queen. Even if someone else gave birth to a prince, it seems hard to say whether they could win the competition.

After all, the most important reason why the fifth prince withdrew from the competition for the throne was that he was physically weak. For an emperor who was destined to have a short life span, the later the prince came, the smaller his chances of winning!

Zuo Zhizhi also saw the situation in the harem clearly. Although there were people vying for favor, it was not a big deal for her to go to the harem every day. Besides, the court was now stable.

Relying on the relationship between Zuo Zhizhi and Duan Huairen, the couple has agreed to travel to other places while they are still young.

Zuo Qing'an knew Zuo Zhizhi's thoughts from the beginning, and now that he and her husband had the same idea, she naturally did not object.

As for Duan Huairen, he has become the emperor. Although people with titles are not allowed to leave without permission, these two people just want to go out and travel, so there is naturally nothing to worry about!

So I agreed very readily!

So after saying goodbye to their parents in the capital, the couple packed up their luggage, took their underwear and many guards, and left in a grand manner.

After all, traveling in ancient times was very inconvenient. If you were not well prepared, you would definitely suffer!

But before leaving, Zuo Zhizhi openly gave the little princess born by Zuo Qing'an a necklace as a gift for her upcoming anniversary.

"We definitely won't be able to make it to her first birthday party if we leave this time. This collar is my early gift to her!"

But in private, Zuo Zhizhi secretly told her sister.

"The medicine I used to treat my brother-in-law wasn't very effective for very long. It's just that I can't keep using it all the time, so it only lasted 10 years. As for the future, I'll leave it to my sister to decide. One pill a year, of course, it could be shorter, but at most 20 pills, after that, there will be no effect!"

Zuo Qing'an looked at Zuo Zhizhi in shock, and only after seeing that she didn't seem to be lying did he take the collar.

As a little princess, she naturally has countless collars. It is better to keep things like this as treasures.

Holding the chips in one's own hands is the essential element for victory. Especially after handing them over to Zuo Qing'an, Zuo Zhizhi was obviously more at ease.

Although what she said was not entirely true, it was true that it could prolong her life.

Duan Huairen's body had long been destroyed after being poisoned numerous times. If it weren't for the healing energy crystals left over from the previous world, he would never have been able to live healthily until now.

By now, the time is almost up and it is time to give him a new lease of life.

But if it goes too smoothly, it might not be good for my child, so I will just leave it to my sister to handle slowly.

Zuo Zhizhi believes that her sister will never let her down!

As for Zuo Qing'an in the capital, although he was very shocked, after careful consideration, he believed this seemingly absurd statement.

After all, when she got married, Duan Huairen's health was indeed very poor.

Therefore, most people in the capital laughed!
