The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

The tears on Nian Shilan's face and the scene before him made Yinzhen scared.

What if the Fourth Prince got those little gadgets first today?
Yinzhen looked at the Fourth Prince in the wet nurse's arms. As soon as the little guy made eye contact with him, he immediately waved his little arms and asked him to hold him.

Yinzhen smiled helplessly and comforted the Fourth Prince with a few words, and the Fourth Prince then calmed down obediently.

Yinzhen turned to Nian Shilan who was kneeling in front of him and extended a hand.

"Get up first. I am here and will not let you and your son be harmed by the traitor!"

This time, Nian Shilan was not as obedient as usual. She looked at the hand that Yinzhen extended, and then looked at Yinzhen who was still wearing the dragon robe with tearful eyes.

Tears kept rolling down her delicate face, and tears also hung on her long feathery eyelashes. The red circles under her eyes and on the tip of her nose were rarely seen on her face.

The angle at which he looked up allowed Yinzhen to see her beauty and fragility.

When Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan like this, his heart trembled.

Ever since he first met Nian Shilan, he always knew that she was a brave and decisive beauty, but at this moment, Nian Shilan was like a silver fox in the mountains whose cultivation had been destroyed, and all that was left was her prayers to him.

Nian Shilan also saw the pain in Yinzhen's eyes, so she clenched her hands cruelly, causing her well-maintained nails to break on the palm of her hand.

The blood from the palm of his hand dripped onto the floor tiles, making a clear dripping sound in this palace where one could hear a pin drop.

Su Peisheng looked in the direction of the voice and exclaimed.

"Empress Hua!"

Yinzhen naturally also saw this distressing scene.

He changed from using one hand to using both hands and tried to pull Nian Shilan up.

But Nian Shilan stubbornly avoided the hand extended by Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, my minor injury is not a big deal, but my Hongli,

Nothing must happen again, Your Majesty!

Outsiders all thought that Hongli was the emperor's favorite child.

There were countless eyes inside and outside the palace watching his every move!
From the time Hongli was born, not even an hour had passed.

Someone was poisoned!
Later, he contracted an epidemic in the Old Summer Palace and almost died!
Even if I am careful and cautious on weekdays,
Still, he was almost poisoned to death!

He is not even two years old, Your Majesty!
I do not ask Hongli to achieve great things, I only ask him to grow up safely! "

As Nian Shilan spoke, she could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

Concubine Hua, who is always proud and calm, can actually lose her composure like this!
The Fourth Prince, who was a few steps away, looked at the crying Nian Shilan and was anxious to break free from the wet nurse's arms.

But there was a dead barking dog lying on the ground. The wet nurse didn't dare to let the Fourth Prince get down to the ground, and he started crying anxiously.

In the Yikun Palace, Nian Shilan's crying was mixed with the Fourth Prince's crying, and Yinzhen didn't know who to comfort first.

Three people hurried in from outside.

The eunuch who went to invite Imperial Physician Wen came with Wen Xianqing and Wen Shichu.

When Wen Xianqing entered the Yiku Palace, he saw a chaotic scene.

He didn't dare to look around, and hurriedly took Wen Shichu to pay his respects to Yinzhen.

Nian Shilan stopped crying when she saw Wen Xianqing coming.

Yinzhen said.

"Songzhi, help your master up quickly. The ground is cold. Please ask Doctor Wen to take a look later."

After saying that, he turned to Wen Xianqing and said.

"You should get up too."

He knew that Wen Xianqing was bringing his son with him, so he didn't ask any further questions.

He only asked Wen Xianqing to check all of the Fourth Prince's toys to see what kind of poison the dog on the ground had been poisoned by.

Yinzhen ordered the door of Yikun Palace to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Within a quarter of an hour, Wen Xianqing stopped and replied to Yinzhen's words.

Yinzhen was sitting on the side at this time, and he comforted Nian Shilan with words. "Your Majesty, Lady Hua Guifei, these items are indeed poisonous, and extremely poisonous."

Wen Xianqing stopped and waited for Yinzhen to speak.

Yinzhen said.

"I know, that's why I asked you to investigate. What kind of poison is it?"

Wen Xianqing pondered for a moment, then signaled Wen Shichu to place all the things in front of Yinzhen one by one, and pick them up one by one to explain to Yinzhen.

“Your Majesty, after investigation, I found that the poisons on these things are different.

Look at this spinning top. Although it has been stained with blood, I have discovered three kinds of poisons on it.

The curare wood used to make the spinning top is known as the deadly poison in the martial world. The name alone is enough to explain how toxic it is.

After the top was made, it was soaked in the juice extracted from wolfsbane for a long time.

There are a lot of wolfsbane flowers on the surface of the gyroscope. This last kind of poison"

Wen Xianqing paused before speaking.

"This last kind of poison is the poison that everyone is afraid of.

This is also the poison that takes effect the fastest and most directly.

This layer of red crane's crown looks like it was applied by someone using a brush.
It is also the last step.

Because the dog's saliva has the most direct contact with the red-crowned crane,

The most rapid onset of bowel movements.

The other two poisons do not take effect so quickly.

But if a person often plays with the spinning top and touches it with his hand,
Within a few days, he will become stupid and eventually die with foam at the mouth!
Fortunately, the little prince did not come into contact with these things today."

After Wen Xianqing finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Yinzhen was already furious when he heard that a single spinning top was so poisonous.

Thinking of what Wen Xianqing said, that those things were poisonous, he said patiently.

"Doctor Wen just said that these things are poisonous. Are there any other highly poisonous things?"

Wen Xianqing pointed at a chestnut pony again. Wen Shichu hurriedly wrapped his hands with a handkerchief and pried off the pony's legs.

A lot of red mercury immediately flowed out of the horse's stomach.

Yinzhen said.

"Okay! No need to look anymore! Check! Check for me!
How did these things get into Yikun Palace!

How dare you set your sights on my son!"

The tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Wen Xianqing said.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! The most urgent thing is to get rid of this dog.

Then have someone clean the floor tiles to prevent the poison from seeping into the tiles.
The Fourth Prince often walks around this courtyard."

Yinzhen said.

"Su Peisheng! Get this dirty thing out of here immediately.
Then have someone carefully replace the floor tiles around here one by one!"

Su Peisheng was about to leave after receiving the imperial edict when Yinzhen spoke again.

"Forget it. I have something more important to tell you. Let Xiao Xiazi do this job."

Xiao Xia Zi immediately obeyed the order and asked the guards to drag the dead dog away. He then walked out of the courtyard and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Xiurong, a maid from Suiyuxuan, was waiting on the long street on the orders of Concubine Wan, hoping to get news from the emperor and then inform Concubine Wan.

The Emperor hasn't seen Concubine Wan recently, and Concubine Wan is at her wits' end.

But what Xiurong was waiting for was not the emperor, but Xiao Xiazi's hurried footsteps approaching from afar. (End of this chapter)
