The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

After Wen Xianqing's examination, Nian Shilan was crying out in pain all over, but with his many years of medical skills, he was able to determine that apart from a sprained ankle that was slightly red and swollen, there was no damage to the bones or muscles.

Just when Wen Xianqing was wondering, he inadvertently met Nian Shilan's eyes, and then thought of what the young eunuch said on the way here, and he suddenly realized.

Wen Xianqing withdrew his hand and said worriedly.

"Your Highness fell very hard and injured your bones.

It has been a while since the Madam has been able to move around freely."

Yinzhen frowned. He only saw that Nian Shilan's ankle was red and swollen, but he didn't think it was so serious.

"Doctor Wen, do you have any good medicine?"

Wen Xianqing bowed.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. My ancestors have passed down a good recipe that is very effective for treating injuries.

I will go back and prepare the medicine and send it to you. I will change the medicine every two days.

It should be able to shorten the recovery time. But the queen fell hard today.
I guess I'll be suffering from some pain in the next two days.

I will prepare another prescription, prepare the medicine and boil it, and your Majesty will feel some relief after taking it."

Nian Shilan found it funny to hear Wen Xianqing's serious exaggeration, but the painful look on her face did not ease at all.

When Wen Xianqing left, Yinzhen sat back down beside Nian Shilan's bed.

He grabbed Nian Shilan's delicate hand and placed it in his palm, only to feel that Nian Shilan's palm was soaked with sweat.

"It was because I went too late, and mother made you kneel for too long, which is why you suffered so much.

My palms are full of sweat. I can't bear the pain you have endured. "

Nian Shilan wanted to pull her hand free, but Yinzhen held it tightly. She struggled a few times in vain, so she obediently let Yinzhen hold her hand.

"Your Majesty, please do not blame yourself. It was I who should not have argued with the Empress Dowager.

I am still feeling uneasy because I have angered the Empress Dowager.

My palms are full of sweat, and I am afraid that I may dirty your Majesty's hands."

Yinzhen felt even more uncomfortable when he saw Nian Shilan frowning in pain but trying to comfort himself.

"I blame myself. I just thought that Hongli would be unfamiliar with the Yonghe Palace and was afraid that he would be scared.
But as soon as I picked up Hongli, I rushed to the Imperial Garden, but I didn't expect that you were still injured.

I have heard about what happened today, but Yonghe Palace belongs to me."

Yinzhen paused and continued.

"I have already ordered that no one is allowed to visit you during your recovery.

You are not allowed to leave Yikun Palace. Just take a good rest for some time.

I will take care of the matter with the Queen Mother.

Hongli was also frightened today, and the wet nurse probably took him away to coax him to sleep.

Next time, I will not let you and your son get hurt."

Nian Shilan said again very considerately.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask for your approval."

Yinzhen said "hmm", and Nian Shilan said.

"The Empress Dowager is the Emperor's biological mother after all, even though the Emperor did not grow up under the Empress Dowager's lap.

But I think the Empress Dowager has also shown a lot of silent care for the Emperor. I am a woman, and I am also a mother.
I can understand the Queen Mother's difficulties to some extent. Who would want to give their own son to someone else to raise for nothing?
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager still has her fourteenth brother by her side.
The Empress Dowager must be upset. But I have not forgotten what my fourteenth brother did to Hongli.

I am not magnanimous and cannot let go of those things. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the punishment he imposes is not a joke.

But I think that if you want to calm the Queen Mother's resentment, Your Majesty should send someone to check on Fourteenth Brother.
Inform the Empress Dowager of Fourteenth Brother's recent situation to comfort her who misses her son."

Yinzhen listened to what Nian Shilan said without responding.

After a long time, he said with a sigh.

"I only knew that you were stubborn, cold and arrogant, but I didn't expect that you were actually a soft-hearted person.

But do you know how to repay evil with kindness? "

Nian Shilan smiled indifferently, opened her bloodless lips slightly, moved closer to Yinzhen, and said in a voice that only Yinzhen could hear. "I have no requests, I just want to love the emperor without any doubt.

The emperor's difficulties are also my difficulties.

I will naturally not cause the emperor any more worries or troubles."

The words "our love is unquestionable" made Yinzhen's heart tremble.

Once upon a time, there was a woman who wanted to be in love with him, but she was so beautiful that she died incomplete.

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she sat back a little and watched Yinzhen's changing expression quietly.

She had heard these words in her dream before. They were also the private words between the late Empress Chunyuan and Yinzhen when they were most affectionate.

She watched Yinzhen lose consciousness for a moment, and the coldness in her heart rose again.

Fortunately, I have restrained my desire to please him in this life.

Yinzhen held Nian Shilan's hand tightly and spoke in a low voice as if making a promise.

"Okay, you and I will love each other without any doubt."

After thinking for a while, he said again.

"You have a pure heart. I hope the Queen Mother can understand your thoughts. I will send people to the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow.
Check on the Fourteenth Prince's current situation and report it to the Queen Mother.

But I have already told others that he is not allowed to have any contact with the outside world, so this matter must be kept secret.

After much thought, I decided to send Su Peisheng to go there in person.

You should take good care of your health and put aside the matters concerning assisting the six palaces.
When you recover from your injury, I plan to take you out for a trip."

Nian Shilan leaned gently into Yinzhen's arms. Yinzhen stretched out his arms and embraced her, feeling satisfied at this moment.

The news that Nian Shilan was forced to kneel by Empress Dowager De had spread throughout the harem, but within half a day, news suddenly came out that Nian Shilan was unstable when meeting the emperor and injured her bones because she was forced to kneel by Empress Dowager De.

The emperor announced to the six palaces that no one was allowed to make noise in Yikun Palace, and asked Concubine Hua to take good care of her health.

When Ulanara heard the news, she almost burst into a sneer.

"What a self-torture scheme. Even Empress Dowager De was tricked by her, and the Emperor still spoke for her."

Jianqiu Road.

“Your Highness, you have to think of a solution, Concubine Hua is really popular right now.

I originally thought that with her personality, she wouldn't last long in front of the Emperor.

Judging from the current situation, the emperor is convinced."

Ulanara said.

"Let her be proud for a few more days. Empress Dowager De is even more anxious than I thought.
He couldn't bear it and was forced to kneel in public.

Doesn't this give her the perfect opportunity to act weak in front of the emperor?

I think she has taken advantage of the estrangement between the Emperor and Empress Dowager De.

This was deliberately designed.”

Jianqiu asked doubtfully.

"You mean that Concubine Hua deliberately provoked Empress Dowager De to punish her in order to please the Emperor?"

Ulanara stroked a night-shining pearl in her hand and said coldly.

"With her previous temper, when have you ever seen her being punished obediently?

If I punish her, she will probably turn around and leave.

The Empress Dowager De had never taken it seriously, but today in the Imperial Garden,
In full view of the public, under the eyes of many palace servants,

She knelt down obediently and knelt for many hours.

But I didn't expect that she would be willing to use the Fourth Prince as bait.

It really proves the old saying that you can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child” (End of this chapter)
