The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 431 The Queen is Pregnant
Xiao Linzi nodded.

"Master, rest assured, you told me about this matter last time, and I also informed Shopkeeper Wu.

As long as the master doesn't give the order, the cosmetics provided by Xianzi Tower are the best in the capital.

Even the one made by the Imperial Household Department cannot match its effect.

But I am worried that if I provoke the Empress Dowager De like this, will she take an extreme approach? "

Nian Shilan did not respond, and spoke after a long while.

"I don't know either. I want to see where her sword will swing. Will it be towards me or the emperor?"

Xiao Linzi was startled and quickly knelt down.

"Master, be careful with your words!"

Nian Shilan smiled, waved his hand, sent Xiao Linzi out, and asked him to call Songzhi in to serve him.

Xiao Linzi went out of the door with cold sweat on his forehead. He saw Song Zhi coming over with a tray of tea and fruits. Xiao Linzi hurried over.

"Sister Songzhi, the master wants you to come in and serve!"

When Songzhi entered the bedroom, she saw Nian Shilan still sitting cross-legged, with one arm supporting her head, looking drowsy.

Songzhi gently placed the tea fruit on the table. Hearing the noise, Nian Shilan reluctantly opened her eyes.

"Songzhi, I suddenly have a severe headache. Please help me go to sleep for a while."

Songzhi hurriedly put Nian Shilan to bed, then turned around to look for medicine for the headache. She also asked Lidong, who was serving outside the door, to warm up the rice wine so that she could serve her master the medicine.

Nian Shilan was helped by Songzhi to lie on the bed. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she almost fell asleep.

But she fell into a dream again, in which she was in a palace she had never seen before.

The palace looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time. There were no furnishings or decorations in it, only simple tables, chairs and beds.

The bed was not covered with the brocade quilt commonly used by concubines. Nian Shilan was wondering where this was when suddenly there was a rustling sound outside.

Then there was the sound of a door opening. Nian Shilan turned around and saw that it was a guard coming.

Nian Shilan did not hide, she knew that no one could see her in the dream.

The guard first looked around the room and found nothing unusual. He then breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the room and sat down at the table.

With the help of some light coming through the paper on the door, Nian Shilan could see clearly that the man was actually Longkodo!
However, Longkodo at this moment was far from the old look he had in his previous life. He now looked to be in his thirties, in the prime of his life.

Before Nian Shilan could figure out what was going on, she heard the door opening again and someone was pushing the door cautiously from outside.

Nian Shilan and Longkodo looked in the direction of the noise at the same time. The door was gently pushed open and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes stepped in first.

Next came a woman in a light blue Manchu dress. Nian Shilan walked aside and took a closer look, only to see clearly that the person was actually Empress Dowager De!

However, Empress Dowager De looked to be no more than 27 or 28 years old at this time, with a firm and smooth face, fair skin and beautiful looks. The lake blue clothes made her skin look even whiter than snow.

Before Nian Shilan could recover from her shock, she saw Empress Dowager De walk in and head straight for Longkodo.

Longkodo, dressed as a guard, immediately stood up, opened his arms and held Empress Dowager De tightly in his arms.

Nian Shilan's mind paused for a moment before she realized that the two were having an affair!
But didn’t Yinzhen always call Longkodo “uncle”?
Nian Shilan only knew that Longkodo was the younger brother of the deceased concubine Tong Jia of the previous emperor. Since Yinzhen ascended the throne, he wanted to honor Tong Jia, who raised him, as Empress Xiaoyi Ren. However, Empress Dowager De had always prevented it, and Tong Jia had never been posthumously honored.

Nian Shilan was frightened by this discovery even in her dream. She stepped back quietly unconsciously, chose an inconspicuous corner, sat down leisurely, and waited to see what the two would do next.

Queen Dowager De spoke first, but her words surprised Nian Shilan again.

"I'm pregnant! But the emperor hasn't come to me for a long time, what should I do?!"

Longkodo, who was originally hugging Empress Dowager De tightly, immediately felt like he had a hot potato in his arms and he loosened his arms.

"What do you mean?" Queen Mother De's voice sounded choked.

"The child is yours, and I don't know what to do now. The Emperor always goes to the Imperial Concubine.

You rarely come to my place, but now I have been pregnant for more than a month, I am afraid."

Nian Shilan was sitting far away and it was dark in the hall, so she couldn't see the expressions of the two men, but she could hear Longkodo's anxious tone.

"No, you can't abort this child! I'll find a way. As long as you can spend one night with the emperor, you must give birth to this child!"

The shocked voice of Queen Dowager De came.

"I thought, I thought you would let me abort the baby. But, but what can you do?"

Longkodo whispered in Empress Dowager De's ear for a long time. When Nian Shilan wanted to get up and listen, the two had already finished their conversation.

When Nian Shilan was halfway there, she suddenly felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes, she was already at the residence of the previous Empress Dowager De.

She watched Yinzhen, who was already quite old, sitting next to Empress Dowager De, and finally couldn't help but confide her true feelings to her biological mother, Empress Dowager De.

He talked about how he considered their relationship a shame and how he was determined to kill Longkodo.

Although Empress Dowager De felt reluctant, she finally agreed out of guilt for her son, fear of the emperor's majesty, or perhaps out of shame for this relationship.

However, she insisted on doing it herself.

Nian Shilan wanted to follow Empress Dowager De to see how she killed Longkodo, but was awakened by a sudden pain.

Wen Xianqing breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Nian Shilan slowly wake up.

When he heard that Nian Shilan had woken up, Yinzhen immediately came over.

"Shilan, you really scared me. Do you know that you have slept for a whole day?"

Nian Shilan was still recalling the scene in her dream. The Yinzhen she saw in her dream before she woke up was the same as in her previous life, but the Yinzhen in front of her was handsome and elegant.

Nian Shilan was speechless for a moment. She opened her mouth but found that she could not make any sound.

Wen Xianqing quickly pulled out the silver needle from Nian Shilan's wrist. Nian Shilan coughed twice and spoke again.

"I just slept for a while, why is Your Majesty so nervous?"

Yinzhen said.

"You didn't just sleep for a while, you slept since breakfast until now, and it's already midnight.

The people in your palace said that you had a headache after breakfast and fell asleep. They brought medicine and wanted you to take it, but you didn't move.

I thought you were tired, but you slept until the evening hour. Even when Hongli came to call you for a long time, you didn't respond.

They were at a loss, so they came to tell me. I also didn't know how to do it, so I asked Doctor Wen to come and see.

Are you feeling unwell right now? Is your ankle still hurting from the fall the other day? "

Nian Shilan calmed himself down and replied.

"I feel that everything is fine, but I have been feeling tired lately. Since Doctor Wen is here, please take my pulse."

Wen Xianqing looked at Nian Shilan's expression, then at Yinzhen, and bowed.

"Before I gave you the acupuncture, I already took your pulse.

Because I was afraid of misdiagnosis, I checked both hands.

I congratulate His Majesty and His Majesty, Your Majesty is pregnant! "
