The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 430 As she wishes

The Empress Dowager, who was always taciturn and low-key in the harem, heard that Nian Shilan was injured, so she asked people to pack up a lot of precious elixirs and send them to Yikun Palace.

Xiao Linzi accepted the things very respectfully, sent the palace maids from the Cining Palace away, and then asked someone to carry the brocade box to Nian Shilan's bedroom.

Ever since Nian Shilan fell and was injured in the imperial garden, she has been obediently following Yinzhen's orders. She neither allowed anyone to see her nor stepped out of the Yiku Palace.

I received the reward from the Empress Dowager today, and I feel very happy.

I don’t know why, but I didn’t know the Empress Dowager in my previous life, but I always feel close to her in this life.

Xiao Linzi pointed out to Nian Shilan the things that the Empress Dowager had sent over one by one.

There are dragon-patterned snake gall pills, energy-boosting ointment, Ganoderma lucidum dragon bone pills, and a heat-clearing, detoxifying and tissue-regenerating ointment.

Xiao Linzi said.

"Master, the people at the Cining Palace said that the Empress Dowager said that you must have medicine for injuries and sprains.

These medicinal pills are all rare and valuable things. When a person is injured, his Qi and blood will be damaged.
These pills are good for replenishing qi and blood. The Queen Mother wanted to come and visit you in person.
But because the Emperor had already informed all the other palaces that no one was allowed to visit, the Empress Dowager gave up.

In my opinion, the Empress Dowager really loves you. This is the first time I have heard of these medicines, even their names."

Nian Shilan, who was sitting on the couch drinking tea, stretched out her arms and let Lidong help her up, then walked a few steps.

"It's rare to have a few days of leisure, but I have to pretend to be sick every day. I am exhausted.

But if I don't do this, Empress Dowager De's eyes will be fixed on me again, which will make me feel annoyed.

The Empress Dowager has always been low-key and doesn't like to show up in the palace too often, but this is a rare occasion.

These medicines were to be carried around the palace by the palace maids.
I guess this skill should have spread throughout the harem by now.

Xiao Linzi, do you think Yonghe Palace should know about this too? "

Xiao Linzi chuckled, a cunning look flashing across his face.

"Master, don't worry. I think Yonghe Palace already knew about it a quarter of an hour ago.

However, Yonghe Palace should not be able to cause trouble with the master right now.

I heard that the Emperor sent Eunuch Su to the house outside Beijing yesterday.
But Eunuch Su was named because of his stench.

By now, all the masters in the palace who have a little dignity should have heard about it.
It is said that the Fourteenth Master has some unknown disease.

The whole person was rotten and smelly.

They all smelled bad. I heard that after Eunuch Su returned to the palace yesterday,

They all bathed twice and washed their hair with soap powder.
I re-braided my hair and then went to see the emperor hesitantly."

Nian Shilan covered the corners of her lips with the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were smiling, but her tone was full of regret.

"Oh, how could this be? Have you found out everything?
The Empress Dowager of Yonghe Palace loved her youngest son the most.
Isn't that going to cost the life of the Empress Dowager of Yonghe Palace?"

Xiao Linzi's eyes rolled around and he replied.

"I dare not speak nonsense. I only know that early this morning,
The emperor sent people to the house outside the capital.

I heard that the Emperor intends to replace all the people who serve the Fourteenth Master in that house.
They said that those who were sick were taken to one place and those who were not sick were also sold off.

In my opinion, they probably cannot escape the word "death".

Master, you can imagine that the Fourteenth Master is imprisoned day and night, with no contact with the outside world.

How did he get sick? It must be because the people who served him were not careful.
He colluded with outsiders, which caused the Fourteenth Master to become seriously ill. "

Nian Shilan walked a few steps and saw no signs of injury on her ankle. She sat back on the couch, sitting cross-legged as before.

She gently twisted the lid of the tea bowl, fiddling with the Phoenix Dancong tea in the bowl, and said with a smile.

"Even you can think of it, so our emperor is a wise ruler, so he can think of it too, right?
I heard that Fourteen has two young eunuchs serving him personally, I wonder if they are sick?"

Xiao Linzi said, "I am talking about these two. They are the ones who serve the Fourteenth Master closely.

The symptoms of the disease are not much milder than those of the Fourteenth Master. I heard that his lower body is completely rotten.

When Eunuch Su came back, he kept sighing that it was a sin. The emperor had already ordered that the two of them be executed by beating.

As far as I know, in order to prevent the spread of this disease,

The body must be soaked in quicklime and then burned and buried.

But what I can think of, those who deal with the corpses can also think of.

I don’t need to worry about these anymore.”

Before Nian Shilan could speak, Lidong, who was serving beside her, frowned and spoke softly.

"Xiao Linzi, how can you speak without any taboo in front of the master?"

Xiao Linzi quickly said "Puh, Puh, Puh" three times symbolically towards the open space next to him, and then slapped himself twice.

"Master, please forgive me, I forgot the taboo!"

Nian Shilan raised her hand to stop Xiao Linzi from slapping her in the face.

"It's okay. Lidong is also doing this for my own good, but I have never been afraid of these things since I was a child.

By the way, is there any news from Yonghe Palace?"

Xiao Linzi immediately came forward in a very servile manner and whispered.

"Of course there is news."

Lidong understood that Xiao Linzi had something to say to Nian Shilan, so she took her leave.

Xiao Linzi looked at the bedroom and saw that he and Nian Shilan were the only ones left, and then he spoke.

"Just as the master guessed, when Empress Dowager De heard about what happened in the suburbs of Beijing, she immediately became unsteady on her feet.

She almost fainted. Fortunately, Aunt Zhuxi and Zhile were there to help her.

It is strange to say that I thought the Emperor would hide such a tragic event from Empress Dowager De.
Or maybe he would just pick out some details. Unexpectedly, it was Eunuch Su who told Empress Dowager De everything.

Shopkeeper Wu's men were very efficient and stuffed the infected handkerchief into the body of the Fourteenth Master's close servant.
Then he took it away without anyone noticing. I never expected that the disease would flare up.

This epidemic is even worse than the one in Beijing.

Fortunately, the disease can only be transmitted through close contact with people, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve this effect.

Now the emperor is investigating who is communicating with the outside world."

Year of the Landau.

"As long as he can't find the cause of the matter, I won't care if he pulls out a scapegoat."

Xiao Linzi patted his chest and made the promise.

"Master, rest assured, Shopkeeper Wu has always been efficient and will never leave any clues!

By the way, Shopkeeper Wu also asked me to ask the master for instructions on when is the appropriate time to present the gift to the Empress? "

Nian Shilan picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said lightly.

"No hurry. The Queen wants to use Xianzi Tower to find evidence against me, so I will do as she wishes.

Isn't she wondering why I don't use the cosmetics provided by the Imperial Household Department?

You instruct Shopkeeper Wu to continue supplying the "noble ladies" in the palace with the best rouge and powder.

The face of the noble lady must be as smooth and delicate as a peeled egg after using the powder.
