The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 558: The Ninth Prince Forces the Emperor
Yinzhen was lying on the bed. Although he couldn't speak, he could hear clearly what Nian Shilan and Wen Xianqing said.

His heart sank.

The illness came on strangely, and Wen Xianqing was always by his side, giving him acupuncture and medication. Finally, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yinzhen spoke again.

However, Wen Xianqing said that Yinzhen's condition was still unstable and he could not stand up yet.

Nian Shilan fed Yinzhen the medicine, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and finally couldn't help but throw herself on Yinzhen and cried silently.

Yinzhen stretched out his arms and hugged Nian Shilan, speaking softly.

"Don't be afraid, Shilan. I'm getting better now."

Nian Shilan leaned on him and cried for a long time before she stopped crying. She sat up with red eyes.

"Your Majesty's illness came suddenly, and I was terrified for a moment.

These days, the Emperor has not made decisions for me.

I feel overwhelmed in many things.

Fortunately, Doctor Wen is a skilled doctor.
He is actually more capable than anyone in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Now that the emperor is better, I feel relieved.

But the emperor's illness is strange, I'm afraid it needs to be investigated thoroughly."

Yinzhen gave a bitter smile.

"I know that Shilan is worried. But you also heard what Doctor Wen said.

My illness is the result of years of accumulation, caused by spending too much time at my desk reviewing memorials every day.

If I were not the emperor, but just a rich and noble prince, I am afraid this would not happen."

Nian Shilan reached out and covered Yinzhen's thin lips.

"Your Majesty, please stop talking. You are the Son of Heaven, and it is the destiny of heaven.
This throne can only be yours, and all the people in the world are yours.

I am a woman, and my children are still young.
We all have to rely on the emperor.

Please stop talking nonsense, it scares me."

Yinzhen reached out and held Nian Shilan's slender hand, the affection in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Okay, Shilan and the children are counting on me, I will definitely get better.

By the way, now there is no one in the harem, I intend to make you the queen.
I am just afraid that the court officials will write to me, and I am in a dilemma now."

When Nian Shilan heard this, she didn't feel moved at all, but instead felt ridicule in her heart.

However, Nian Shilan's expression became flustered, and she quickly took two steps back and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please don't do that. Please take this back."

Yinzhen said.

"This is strange. The position of queen is the dream of all women in the world.

Why do you look so scared? Tell me what's going on."

Nian Shilan raised her head and stared into Yinzhen's eyes with a very sincere look.

"I have received much from the emperor's kindness. The emperor's heart is with me.
I am already very satisfied and never dare to dream of the position of Queen.

Moreover, my mother's family has made military achievements, and the position of queen will eventually arouse suspicion.

I have a son, and if I become the queen, Hongli will be at the center of public opinion at a young age.
If anyone had evil intentions and harmed Hongli, I would cry to death.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.
I also need to make a plan for Hongli. There are many virtuous women in the harem.

If the emperor finds someone he likes, he can choose her to inherit the position of Empress. "

Nian Shilan paused and continued.

“Although the Emperor had no choice but to depose the Empress, I believe that the Empress has never been vacant.

Kunning Palace was originally the palace of the empress, and it has always been dedicated to the throne of Empress Chunyuan.

I am willing to be the emperor's bedfellow, not the queen at the center of the storm."

As Yinzhen listened to Nian Shilan's words, a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

"My Shilan is truly unique. She is not greedy for fame or wealth.
She never blames the harem, this is the style of a queen.

Hongli is my son. I would like to see who is so blind as to set his sights on my son.

In this harem, no matter in terms of seniority or companionship,
No one is more suitable to be the queen than you.

And you have always respected Chun Yuan, which is also what I like."

Nian Shilan shook her head.

"Your Majesty, I really have no desire to be the queen. No matter how much money and jewels you give me,

I can accept all of them, and I feel at ease with them. But I am sorry that I cannot obey your order regarding the title."

At this point, the matter of establishing a queen mentioned by Yinzhen was dropped.

When Nian Shilan left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she did not notice Yinzhen's inquiring eyes behind her.

But she didn't have to see it. She had done everything she was supposed to do, and there was only one step left.

It’s just a position of queen, not in Nian Shilan’s eyes.

What she wanted was never confined to the Forbidden City.

Although Yinzhen was ill, the New Year celebrations in the palace still had to be celebrated, but most things were decided by Nian Shilan.

Zhang Tingyu wrote to Yinzhen, saying that if the imperial concubine was not in a proper position to manage affairs, her words would not flow, and that there should still be a queen in the palace.

Yinzhen took a look at the memorial and threw it aside.

"This old fox wants to get someone's daughter into the palace again. The imperial concubine is not doing her job properly.
Can a newcomer to the palace be made queen directly? What a joke."

He asked Su Peisheng again.

"I wonder where Yunluo and his group are now?"

Su Peisheng said.

"Your Majesty, someone came this morning to report that the Ninth Prince should arrive in the capital in two days."

Yinzhen nodded and waited for the Ninth Prince to come to the capital.

But not long after the Ninth Prince entered the capital, a group of elite soldiers quickly came towards the capital.

The coup happened on the 20th day of the first lunar month, and Xiao Linzi ran all the way to the Yiku Palace.

"Master! Something terrible has happened! The Ninth Prince has suddenly launched an attack and led his troops into the palace!"

Yinzhen had never expected that the Ninth Prince Yunlu would dare to force his way into the palace. He looked coldly at Yunlu who rushed in with a sword.

Before this, Yunluo had been ill.

"Your Majesty, you didn't expect that, did you? But I will never forget your kindness.

During these years in the fiefdom, I have never dared to forget my brother for a moment!"

Yinzhen sat behind the desk. Although his stroke had improved a little recently, his body was still not very flexible.

He didn't stand up because he didn't want Yunlu to notice.

"Bold! Do you know what you are doing now?"

Yunlu smiled contemptuously.

"Of course I know. My brother wants to accuse me of treason. But I don't care.
I have already sent someone to the clan house to pick up the myna.

Please, Fourth Brother, give up your throne and write a letter of abdication. I will ask Eighth Brother to spare your life."

The outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was surrounded by rebels, but these rebels did not burn, kill or loot in the palace.

While Yinzhen was dealing with the Ninth Prince, he was also concerned about whether Nian Shilan was in trouble.

When he faced the Ninth Prince, he seemed to be laughing out of anger.

"You have worked so hard to plan this, and you even went so far as to have private dealings with Fei Yanggu, just to make your good brother the emperor? Don't you have any ideas at all?"

The Ninth Prince said nonchalantly.

"I don't think I have the qualities of an emperor, so I don't even think about it. Myna is different.
If he becomes emperor, he will definitely be a powerful emperor."

Yinzhen sneered.

"What if I don't give up my seat?"
