The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Kang Le had no playmates since she was a child, and the only person of her age was the Third Prince.

The Third Prince was the Queen's son, and except during the New Year holidays, Kang Le had no chance to play with him.

Now she has a younger brother, but he is still so young and can’t play with her. Kang Le feels very disappointed.

Nian Shilan couldn't help laughing when she saw the undisguised look of disappointment on Kang Le's little face.

"Come, come to Empress Hua."

Kang Le ran back to Nian Shilan again.

Year of the Landau.

“Empress Hua knows that you want to play with your brother, but he is still too young.

But you can come visit your brother often and grow up with him, okay?"

Kang Le then became happy again and clapped his hands happily.

Nian Shilan chatted with Concubine Jing for a while before Concubine Jing took Princess Kangle away.

A sneaky figure on the long street kept staring at Concubine Jing.

When Xiao Linzi was seeing Jingpin off, he saw that figure. The man pretended to be sweeping the street, but his eyes were following Jingpin and her daughter intentionally or unintentionally, scanning them all the way.

Xiao Linzi pretended not to see it and hurried back to Yikun Palace.

The little eunuch who was staring at Concubine Jing and her daughter on the long street was still feeling smug. Xiao Linzi had already reported the matter to Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud.

In her previous life, she sent the eunuch named Xiao Yinzi to burn Yuxuan to pieces, which led to the emperor's execution regardless of his feelings.

In this life, could it be that someone also wanted to burn down her Yikun Palace?
Xiao Linzi saw that Nian Shilan was not angry but laughed instead, and he was completely confused.

Nian Shilan smiled and said.

"Just keep an eye on that young eunuch and find out who he is from and what his name is.

If he makes any unusual moves, don't alert him, just report to me immediately."

Nian Shilan felt more and more clearly that although the harem seemed harmonious on the surface, there were actually undercurrents.

Ever since she gave birth to the Fourth Prince safely, the people in Jingren Palace must have taken action.

There were some disturbances during Nian Shilan's pregnancy, but at that time, relying on her reputation for being domineering, Nian Shilan simply begged Yinzhen not to go to Jingren Palace to pay her respects for many days.

Even though there were rumors outside that Concubine Hua was disrespectful to the Queen, the voices disappeared on their own after the Emperor's decree came down.

Later, there were several times when the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department took the opportunity to deliver things to the Yiku Palace and mixed in some private goods.

Not only were they detained one by one by Xiao Linzi, but those ignorant eunuchs were also beaten to a pulp by Huang Guiquan, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, until they were neither human nor ghost.

Nian Shilan did not order them to be killed, thinking of accumulating blessings for her unborn child.

After the situation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was finally settled, a small hole inexplicably appeared in the corner of the Yikun Palace.

Since all the food that Nian Shilan had been eating since she became pregnant was prepared by the small kitchen in Yikun Palace, Nian Shilan reported to Yinzhen, who tortured everyone in the small kitchen and found out the kitchen maid who was in contact with the foreign enemy.

Before the young palace maid had the chance to tamper with Nian Shilan's food, Yinzhen ordered her to be beaten to death.

Only in this way could Nian Shilan safely give birth to the fourth prince.

Nian Shilan thought about the things that happened during her pregnancy, and then thought about the eunuchs sneaking around the streets today, and sneered.

Since you don't want Nian Shilan to have an easy life, then don't let her have an easy life.

There are many places in the Yikun Palace that need to be repaired.

The Empress Dowager De, who had been bedridden, became more energetic that day and spoke while sitting on the couch.

"Zhuxi, bring me my hookah so I can relax."

Zhuxi wanted to persuade Queen Mother De that she should not smoke the water pipe as she was still seriously ill.

But thinking about how Empress Dowager De had been lying in bed these days and had never even left the Yonghe Palace, she must have been feeling suffocated, so she went to get her hookah.

The man had just lit the water pipe for Empress Dowager De when the eunuch outside came to pass on the message.

"The Queen has arrived~"

Empress Dowager De looked at the pipe with pity and ordered Zhuxi to put it away.

Zhuxi had just put away the hookah when Ulanara came in with Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai.

"I pay my respects to you, mother. May you be blessed with good health and good health."

Ulanara knelt down and saluted.

Empress Dowager De said.

"Get up quickly. I have been ill these days and have been too lazy to ask you about the affairs in the palace.

I am so happy that you happened to come today.

Come, sit next to me and talk to me."

Ulanara sat beside Empress Dowager De and looked down to see that her hands had become withered and no longer as white and tender as before.

She couldn't help but feel sad. The Empress Dowager De's illness was strange, but the Emperor and she had thoroughly checked all the palace maids in Yonghe Palace and replaced them, but they found nothing.

Doctor Wen only said that it was because Empress Dowager De had used Sanguisorba officinalis, but no one could find out what exactly had mixed in with the Sanguisorba officinalis.

And once the blood-depleting grass takes effect, it is extremely difficult to replenish it.

Even if the palace had all the rare treasures and medicines in the world, it could only keep Empress Dowager De's health in a state that was neither good nor bad.

Ulanara said.

"The palace servants who served the Third Prince a few days ago were not doing their job properly, causing him to catch a cold.

I had no choice but to take care of the Third Prince every day. Even the affairs in the harem were handled by Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Shen.

I have seen that my mother is much better today, and I am very happy."

Empress Dowager De said.

"Mrs. Shen? I have never heard of any Mister Shen before."

Ulanara said.

"My mother has been bedridden for a long time, so it's normal that she doesn't know what's going on outside.

Concubine Shen was the daughter of Shen Zishan, the assistant governor of Jeju.

Somehow, she caught the eye of Concubine Hua.
Now he is following Concubine Hua and helping her manage the six palaces."

Although Empress Dowager De had been in Yonghe Palace for a long time and had not gone out, how could she not know what was happening outside.

However, during the days when she was sick, Ulanara rarely came to visit her, so she gradually stopped caring about it.

She now drinks a lot of bitter medicine every day, so she has no time to care about those things.

Empress Dowager De also understood the wit in Ulanara's words.

Ulanara knew very well that Empress Dowager De hated the Queen's power falling into other people's hands the most.

Now that Concubine Hua is powerful in the palace and has won over Noble Lady Shen, Empress Dowager De will definitely step in to teach her a lesson.

After saying those few words, Ulanara waited quietly for Empress Dowager De's response, but Empress Dowager De just smiled indifferently and said.

"The palace is busy, and the Queen has to take good care of the Third Prince, so it's inevitable that she will hand over all the trivial matters to Concubine Hua to handle.

Concubine Hua also needs a helper. By the way, is the Third Prince completely recovered?

I was lying in bed half-dead all day long and had no idea that the Third Prince was ill a few days ago.

I haven't seen the Third Prince for a long time, and I miss my grandson so much.
But I dare not let you bring him to see my sick body, for fear that he might pass on his illness to him."

Ulanara also understood that Empress Dowager De did not want to get involved, but she still did not give up and said.

"Mother, you worry too much. I will bring the Third Prince to you some other day.

You are only in your early forties. As long as you take good care of yourself, you can always return to the same state as before.

I also hope that you can give me some guidance.

I am young and ignorant, and there are many things that require my mother to analyze the pros and cons and let me know. "

Empress Dowager De laughed at herself, turned to look at Ulanara, stretched out her hands and said.

"I am in this state now, how can I care about so many trivial matters?
You are my daughter-in-law and also my niece.

I have never been a queen in my life, I only hope that you will be one.
Preserve the glory of the Ulanara and Uya clans.

But my current health condition makes me afraid I can’t make it.

You once promised me something, but I don’t know if I can see it before I die.

I don’t want that bitch to have a better life than me.”

Ulanara also reached out, grabbed Empress Dowager De's withered hands, slowly pressed them down, and said.

"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely do what I promised.

But my mother knows what I want."

A hint of excitement appeared on Empress Dowager De's face as she said.

"Are you serious? If you can let me see that day, I will definitely fulfill your wish." (End of this chapter)
