The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Empress Dowager De said through gritted teeth.

"You have a kind heart? Oh, you vicious woman!"

When the Empress Dowager heard Empress Dowager De's curse, she did not get angry but laughed instead.

"I am a vicious woman? I don't know. This person is so shameless.
But I am amazed! You and I served the late emperor together.
But you are not satisfied with having two sons, and you even gave me medicine to abort my five-month-old fetus!

Do you think that I will let you go just because you borrowed Rongpin's hand to deal with what happened back then? !
I just never had the chance to do anything to you! Otherwise, you are really lucky.

Even though she never raised the emperor as a son, she still became the Holy Mother Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty!
Who is the evil woman? Is it you, Wuya, or me, Niuhulu?

I think you know the answer yourself!"

Empress Dowager De still tightly grasped the sweat towel, her eyes were bloodshot and her eyes were about to burst. Her sunken cheeks were puffed up by the airflow of her own breath.

"You didn't save your child, that's your own fault!
I have never harmed your child! I will pay you back for all the accusations you have made today!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Empress Dowager De with great disdain.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. Even if it’s a mistake, I won’t let you go.

You were closest to Rongpin back then, but after I had a miscarriage, why did Rongpin avoid you like the plague?

You can continue to deceive yourself. Why did the first-class maids around you die?

You know how disabled you are. I don't believe that when you wake up in the middle of the night,
I don't feel scared at all! Today is the 15th day of the seventh month, which is known as the Zhongyuan Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival.

We Manchus do not believe this, but I came here today to kill Longkodo.

Here is some fresh news for you! The craftsmanship on this sweat towel,

But the embroidery is exactly the same as the one on the red bellyband.

Do you think the emperor doesn't know about your affair with Longkodo? I just want to tell you,

This world belongs to the Qing Dynasty, it belongs to the emperor. Under the emperor's nose,
There is nothing he cannot know as long as he wants to know!"

Queen Dowager De suddenly screamed and jumped off the bed, rushing towards the Empress Dowager.

"You bullshit!"

It's just that she hadn't stood up for many days, and her legs had no strength at all. When she stumbled towards the Empress Dowager, she was easily dodged.

The Queen Mother stood a few steps away, looking at Queen Dowager De who fell heavily to the ground with mockery.

"I really want the late emperor to see how much he loved you.
Let him see what a street shrew you are like."

Empress Dowager De fell to the ground, still shouting.

"Someone! Someone!"

The Queen Mother turned around and said.

"Anyone coming? There is no one here except me.

Just keep your heart at ease. No one outside can hear your voice.

You can just hold your sweat towel and shed a few worthless tears for Longkodo. "

Empress Dowager De had been counting on Longkodo after the "death of illness" of Fourteenth Prince, but now the Empress Dowager suddenly told her that Longkodo was also gone. She felt like her bones and muscles had been pulled out and she had no one to rely on.

She prostrated herself on the ground and cried bitterly until she had no strength left to utter a single sound. Only then did the Empress Dowager slowly walk out of Empress Dowager De's bedroom.

Su Peisheng came to report that Empress Dowager De's illness had worsened and she could no longer get up. Yinzhen was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Why did it suddenly get worse? Isn't Empress Dowager De's illness a mental illness?"

Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager went to visit Empress Dowager De yesterday.

Since the Empress Dowager left, Empress Dowager De has not said a word.

I couldn't get out of bed this morning. The servant Zhuxi who served the Empress Dowager De also asked me about it.
It is only said that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager De talked to each other for a while. What did they talk about?
No one else knows. Oh, by the way, Zhuxi also said, also said"

Su Peisheng was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say, but if he didn't say anything, he was afraid that the emperor would find out and hold him accountable.

Yinzhen said.

"Just say what you want to say. What did Zhuxi say?"

Su Peisheng said. "Yes. Zhu Xi also said that when Empress Dowager De was sleeping last night, she shouted two words, which sounded like a person's name."

Yinzhen asked.

"What words did you hear clearly?"

Su Peisheng said.

"It sounds like Zhujun, but I don't know which two characters they are."

Yinzhen understood it as soon as he heard it.

Zhujun - this is Longkodo's pen name! Apart from the late emperor and himself, only those who are very close to Longkodo know this name.

Yinzhen threw the cup in his hand far away, and the broken pieces of porcelain fell all over the ground.

At this time, Nian Shilan was sitting and relaxing with the Queen Mother, making tea.

The Queen Mother watched Nian Shilan's smooth movements until Nian Shilan placed the teacup in front of her, then she sighed and said.

"I came out of the Peony Pavilion yesterday, and the turbidity that had been pent up in my heart for more than ten years was finally relieved halfway."

Nian Shilan took a sip of the tea in front of her before speaking.

"I didn't know what grudges you had with Empress Dowager De, but I know that
There must be a reason. I came here today to apologize to you.

I used you to provoke Empress Dowager De, do you blame me?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and smiled.

"Why should I blame you? I can't thank you enough.

I originally thought that she was the emperor's biological mother.

With the emperor protecting her, I’m afraid I won’t be able to touch her in this lifetime.

She teamed up with Rongpin to abort the baby in my belly.

Do you know how much I hate her? It's a pity that the late emperor protected her at that time.
Later, the late emperor suddenly passed away, and the emperor honored her as the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.
My heart is like a fire boiling oil, suffering from torment every day! "

Nian Shilan said nothing, waiting quietly for the Queen Mother to continue.

Only now did she understand why she and the Empress Dowager hit it off at first sight, and why she always felt that the Empress Dowager had an unfathomable sorrow in her heart.

It was because the Empress Dowager had the same experience as in her previous life, she was framed and lost the baby in her belly.

The pain of losing her son was deeply engraved in Nian Shilan's mind.

Even though she had given birth to Hongli in this life and was pregnant with her second child, she couldn't convince herself to let it go when she thought of the painful experiences in her previous life!

The Empress Dowager spoke again after a while.

"You said you took advantage of me, but didn't I take advantage of you?
When I first saw you, I was already impressed by your family background and your deeds in the palace.
I know it like the back of my hand. I know that you are the one who can help me avenge the loss of my son.

So, I am tolerant and kind to you, but I also have selfish motives behind my actions.

Can you forgive my selfishness?"

Nian Shilan thought, in her two lifetimes, this was the first time someone had frankly admitted that they were using her, so she laughed.

"What's the point of forgiving or not forgiving? There is no such thing as estrangement between me and the Empress Dowager.

I have said that when I first met you, I felt that you had many similarities with my mother.

The Empress Dowager also knew that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. When I miss my mother at home,

I'll come and sit with you to ease my homesickness.

Later, you had a long talk with me that day. Although I didn't know why you hated Empress Dowager De,

But your goal is the same as mine. Since our goal is the same, we are one.

The only thing I didn't expect was that you could let Zhuxi be your spy.

My spy Zhile is not as useful as Zhuxi.

Fortunately, with Zhuxi as an informant, the emperor was easily convinced.
Empress Dowager De's feelings for Longkodo were indeed very deep.

In this way, the Emperor will be able to be less affectionate towards Empress Dowager De in the future." (End of this chapter)
