The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 130 Shu falls into the water
When Nian Shilan followed Yinzhen and Ulanara to Yaoyue Garden, the imperial physician had just arrived.

Shu was lying on the bed with a pale face, her hair was still wet, and her clothes must have been changed by the servants, they looked dry and clean.

Zijing, who served Shu, and three other maids were kneeling on the ground. Zijing's clothes were wet. Even though there was a charcoal fire in the house in the winter, they were still shivering with cold.

Yinzhen watched the imperial physician take Shu's pulse, then flipped Shu's eyelids and asked.

"Excuse me, Imperial Physician, how is Shu doing now?"

The imperial physician reported back.

"Your Highness, after falling into the water, the princess must have choked on water while struggling, and now she has some suffocation. I will give her acupuncture to help her breathe, and then she will be fine. However, the lake water is unclean after all, and the princess choked on some of it. In addition, the lake water is cold in winter, so she will have abdominal pain. She can take some medicine to regulate her body. Other than that, it's no big deal."

Yinzhen nodded.

"Then Dr. Lao will be here."

Ulanara looked at the servants on the ground and frowned.

"What on earth is going on? How could Shu Gege fall into the water when he was fine? Where are the people who served Shu Gege?"

Zijing crawled forward two steps tremblingly and knelt in front of Ulanara.

"I am the maidservant Zijing, the personal maidservant of Shu Gege."

Ulanara looked at Zijing and said.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Zijing lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and spoke with trembling voice.

"Reporting to the master, today is Laba, and the princess said that the masters will have to hold a banquet in the evening, and the princess also missed her family. So she wanted to take a walk in the garden before the masters returned. The princess saw Miss Duan in the garden, so she took a walk along the lake with Miss Duan. Somehow, Miss Duan suddenly yelled and pushed our princess. The princess was caught off guard and slipped into the water. I was scared! I hurried to pull the princess, but it was the eunuch in the garden who saw it and quickly called people to rescue the princess. I am incompetent! I didn't take good care of the princess!"

Zijing kowtowed as he spoke, and his head made a thumping sound as it hit the floor tiles.

Seeing that Yinzhen frowned slightly, Ulanara said.

"Speak carefully, be careful not to hurt your head. The master is here, just speak carefully if you have anything to say."

Zijing hurriedly kowtowed to Yinzhen.

"Master, please forgive me. I was in a hurry!"

Yinzhen sat and watched the imperial physician give acupuncture to Shu Gege. The needle was inserted into Shu Gege's philtrum and gently twisted a few times. Shu Gege hummed softly.

The imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Gege has always had a gentle constitution and didn't choke on much water, so she woke up quickly."

When Zijing heard that Shu Gege had woken up, she rushed over, knelt beside the bed, hugged Shu Gege on the bed with both hands, and pinched Shu Gege secretly.

"Princess, you are finally awake! I scared you to death! I thought if you didn't wake up, I would have gone with you! I have already reported the truth to my master!"

Nian Shilan looked at this scene and felt it was very familiar.

In the previous life, there were no Hu and Shu families in the mansion, and in this life, I don’t know what the Shu family’s background is.

Nian Shilan recalled that she was jealous and eager to get rid of Shen Meizhuang, so she asked her servants to push her into the water.

However, Shen Meizhuang was as lucky as Shu and did not die. From then on, Nian Shilan had a mortal enemy.

Shu Gege calmed down, looked around at the people around her, and seeing that Yinzhen and Ulanara were there, she shed tears.

"My master, I thought I was dreaming. I thought I would never see you again." Yinzhen looked at Shu's tears and his heart softened a little. He sat beside Shu's bed and gently wiped her tears.

"The king is here, you are not dreaming."

Shu Gege slowly stopped crying, but there was still a pool of tears in her eyes, which were about to fall.

"Master, please forgive me. I was disrespectful just now. I was too scared and worried that I would not be able to serve you again."

Yinzhen softened his tone and comforted Shu Gege.

"Don't be afraid. With me here, nothing will happen to you."

Yinzhen paused and continued.

"What happened today? I heard from your servants that he slipped and fell into the lake. How could he be so careless?"

Shu Gege had just stopped crying, but after hearing what Yinzhen said, her eyes turned red again.

"My Lord, I was not careless. I met Miss Duan by chance by the lake, and we took a walk and talked together. But I don't know what I said to anger Miss Duan, and she pushed me into the lake. I am not familiar with swimming, and I choked on the water and almost drowned. Fortunately, Zijing rescued me, so I was able to survive."

After Shu Gege said these words, tears slid down her cheeks and fell into her neck one by one.

Yinzhen turned and looked at Ulanara.

"Fujin, have someone go and fetch Duan to me, and I will ask her in person."

Ulanara hesitated for a moment and responded.

"Yes. I heard that Duan was just complaining about abdominal pain. I thought that the baby in her belly was already seven months old and it was dangerous. I have just sent the imperial physician to Xingfu Courtyard to check Duan's pulse. If Duan is fine, it won't be too late to invite her to Yueyuan for a confrontation. What do you think, Master?"

Yinzhen pondered for a while before speaking.

"That's fine. Or wait until Shu can walk, then it won't be too late to confront her. Shu, you'll have to bear with the injustice for now. But, what did you say that made Duan push you down without caring about the baby in her belly?"

Shu Gege looked at Yinzhen with tears in her eyes.

"Master, do you ask this because you don't believe that I am harmless to Miss Duan? I have no reason to deliberately anger Miss Duan. The baby in Miss Duan's belly is your own flesh and blood! No matter how ignorant I am, I will give in for the sake of the baby in Miss Duan's belly. I was just chatting with Miss Duan and just advising her to take good care of herself, but she suddenly yelled and pushed me in excitement. I am really wronged!"

Yinzhen frowned and said nothing. Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin looked at each other inadvertently, and they saw the word "disbelief" in each other's eyes.

Nian Shilan turned her head away, feeling quite uncomfortable with the sudden tacit understanding between herself and Qi Yuebin.

Nian Shilan thought that the women in the palace were difficult to deal with before, and now, the women in this palace are not simple either.

Duan was a bit unreliable on normal days, but he wouldn't get so excited as to take action just because someone else gave him good advice.

It's just that Ulanara said that Duan had abdominal pain, so she sent the imperial physician to see her. Now Duan probably doesn't have the energy to confront Shu Gege.

Nian Shilan looked at Shu Gege's tender tears and thought of someone from her previous life, a person who always looked innocent and well-behaved.

When Duan was seven months pregnant, Ulanara had been protecting her fetus and promised to ask Yinzhen to promote her after she gave birth safely. What reason did she have to suddenly lose control of her emotions at this time?
There has never been any overt grudge between the Shu family and the Duan family, and no one knows what she said to anger the Duan family.

However, judging from Nian Shilan's experience of two lifetimes, the Shu family is not an easy group to deal with.

Otherwise, she would not have given her the purse when she first heard that Duan was pregnant.

The familiar smell coming from the purse was musk.
