The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Ulanara couldn't help but scratch her face with her hands, and Jianqiu, in a panic, immediately pressed her hands.

But this itch was something that only others could understand. The dignity of the Ulanara family was shattered by this itch on that morning.

The Empress that the concubines had seen was always dignified, virtuous, and the model mother of the country. They had never seen her scratching herself in public like this.

Ulanara couldn't help twisting her arms again, and her face turned red with the shame of losing face in front of everyone.

Jianqiu didn't know what to do. She could only try her best to hold Ulanara's hands and whisper reminders in her ears.

"My lady, let's go back to the inner room first."

Jianqiu looked at Concubine Duan for help. At this moment, the only one who could speak was Concubine Duan.

When Concubine Duan saw Ulanara like this, she suddenly remembered what happened on the day when Nian Shilan gave birth to the Fourth Prince.

That day, all the palace maids in Yikun Palace who served Nian Shilan during her delivery felt extremely itchy all over and their faces were covered with red spots.

When Concubine Duan looked at Ulanara, an idea came to her mind.

"My Queen, I have seen your symptoms.

It looks like someone has poisoned you. Let's call in the imperial physician!"

Ulanara, who was extremely itchy, pinched her right wrist tightly with her left hand, and her eyes no longer had the peace of the past.

"Jiang Fuhai, go and summon all the people from the Imperial Hospital to me!"

Jiang Fuhai got the order and ran faster than a rabbit, disappearing in a flash.

Nian Shilan was also suddenly surprised.

"Yes, I just remembered it after Concubine Duan reminded me.

I had the same symptoms the day I gave birth to the Fourth Prince!

But Yunli, who had poisoned my concubine and my son, had already died of illness.

Who else has this medicine?

Oh, Queen, please think carefully.
Who have you offended in your harem? What if it was really poisoned?

That person must be someone close to you!"

If looks could kill, then the look that Ulanara gave Nian Shilan at this moment, filled with mixed feelings of pain and itchiness, was like two sharp knives, as if she wished she could stab four holes through Nian Shilan with two knives!
Everyone in the palace knew that the only one who could not get along with Ulanara was Nian Shilan!

Xin Changzai, who had been covering her abdomen with her hands, quietly relaxed her hands after hearing that the queen might have been poisoned.

She was just afraid that it was some extremely contagious disease, but luckily it was just poisoning.

An Changzai lowered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

But all she was thinking about was whether the emperor would come today and whether he would thoroughly investigate the matter.

The emperor had warned the queen before, and she didn't dare to give the ginseng soup openly, but she still tried her best to send it to every concubine who served him in the night.

If the emperor knew about this, what would he do?

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, Ulanara couldn't help but clench her wrist tightly again, restraining herself from scratching.

The words that came out of her mouth were almost distorted due to the force and gnashing of teeth.

"Whether it's poisoned or not, we can only know after the imperial physician comes to examine it! No need for Concubine Hua to worry about it.

I will be happy to have Concubine Duan here to assist me, the others can go back first!"

Lady Wan was the first to stand up and bowed to take her leave.

Seeing this, the others also dispersed.

Only Concubine Duan, Nian Shilan and a few palace maids were left in the palace.

Ulanara could no longer care about anything else, and she also didn't care about Nian Shilan's expression of watching the fun.

He immediately scratched his face hard and rubbed his arms vigorously.

She felt that her hands were not enough, so she asked Jianqiu and Huichun to help her scratch.

Jianqiu and Huichun didn't care about much at this time. They followed Ulanara's instructions and gently tickled her.

However, Ulanara felt that it was getting more and more itchy, and Jianqiu and Huichun's strength was far from enough, so she couldn't help but scold them to use more strength. Concubine Duan stared at the absurd scene in front of her in amazement. She had never heard of any queen being so embarrassed in public because of itching.

The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived almost at the same time as Yinzhen.

Everyone in the Imperial Hospital was doing their best to feel Ulanara's pulse when a eunuch's sharp voice was heard outside.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Immediately afterwards, Yinzhen strode over, followed by Su Peisheng, Xiao Xiazi, and Xiao Linzi.

It was Yinzhen that Xiao Linzi invited.

Nian Shilan and Concubine Duan paid their respects to Yinzhen, who then hurried to see Ulanara.

At this time, Ulanara was lying on the bed in the inner room, biting a snow-white handkerchief tightly in her mouth. The red spots on her face were shocking, and some places had even begun to fester. She looked like she was about to be disfigured.

Yinzhen heard that the Queen had suddenly fallen ill in the palace, and the symptoms were the same as those of Nian Shilan. When he thought about the fact that the original culprit, Yunli, was no longer around, he wondered who else could have harmed the Queen.

Jianqiu knelt hurriedly in front of Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, I really cannot pay my respects to you at this time. I hope you will understand!"

Yinzhen didn't even look at the servant girl kneeling at his feet, he just stretched his head to look at Ulanara lying on the bed.

She had her eyes tightly closed at this moment, her hands being held down and the handkerchief tightly bitten in her mouth, making her look like a dying fish.

Since Ulanara Yixiu came to Yinzhen at the age of sixteen, Yinzhen had never seen her look so miserable as she did now.

Even when she gave birth to the eldest prince, Ulanara still asked the servants to dress her up and put on makeup before she met Yinzhen.

"Is the Queen poisoned?!"

Yinzhen looked at the imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground, and only Wen Xianqing raised his head and said.

"Your Majesty, after my humble servant and my colleagues felt your pulse one by one and discussed it,

We concluded that the Queen's illness was not caused by poisoning, nor was it an epidemic."

Yinzhen frowned.

"What are you talking about? It's neither poisoning nor an epidemic. So why did it become like this?"

From the bed came the constant whimpering of Ulanara, who was tortured by pain and itchiness.

Nian Shilan spoke up from the side.

"Did Lord Wen make a mistake in his diagnosis? I was also like this at first, but it didn't fester as quickly as this.

Today, I observed the Empress's condition, and it was exactly the same as mine that day."

On the way here, Yinzhen had heard Xiao Linzi talking about how the queen looked very much like the day Nian Shilan gave birth.

Yinzhen looked at Wen Xianqing with an inquiring look, and Wen Xianqing immediately said with certainty.

"Your Highness, I have been practicing medicine for decades and have never made a wrong diagnosis!"

Nian Shilan was anxious to say something, but Yinzhen raised his hand and patted her arm soothingly, then said to Wen Xianqing.

"Now you are the backbone of the Imperial Hospital, and I believe everything you say.

But the position of queen is different from others, you must treat the patient with greater dedication.

Just tell me, what is the reason for the Queen's condition today?"

Wen Xianqing sighed and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have never seen this disease before. The last time Concubine Hua was poisoned,

They all cause skin rashes, pain and itching, but there are no ulcers.

The Queen's itch came on strangely and developed extremely quickly.

The emperor must have seen how quickly the empress's face was festering.

It's completely different from what the Imperial Concubine did at the beginning! I can only make a prescription to relieve the itching now.
Then apply the anti-itching ointment I made to the Empress to see if it can provide some relief." (End of this chapter)
