Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"My son pays his respects to the Emperor."

Yinzhen followed Li Dequan to the palace. Yinzhen saluted. The emperor did not say anything, but raised his hand slightly, motioning him to get up.

The emperor's condition seemed to be much worse than before. His temples were gray and he looked much older. The look in his eyes was no longer as vigorous as before.

This shows that the condition has undoubtedly worsened.

Not only Yinzhen came, but all the princes were there.

"Father, how are you feeling?" Yinzhen sat in front of the bed holding the emperor's hand. The old man in front of him was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and his father. He used to be such a high-spirited and heroic man, but now he was lying here powerlessly.

The emperor looked at Yinzhen and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay. I know my own body."

Li Dequan listened to what the emperor said, but his eyes were filled with tears. "Your Majesty, you must not bury yourself in memorials all day long. You coughed up blood today."

Li Dequan knelt down crying.

"Coughing up blood?" Yinzhen became worried immediately after hearing this!

Coughing up blood, this must be because the servants didn't serve him well enough.

"Eunuch Li, why didn't you remind me?"

Although Yinzhen was a little angry, he did not show it too obviously in his tone. After all, Li Dequan could only serve as a reminder and could not completely stop the emperor.

Li Dequan was really worried about the emperor. He had followed the emperor for his entire life and naturally understood him. The emperor was busy with state affairs. What was he doing it for? It was for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.

However, if I had been there to remind him more often, perhaps the emperor would not have been like this. When I thought of this, I began to blame myself.

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I didn't serve the emperor well."

The emperor was already ill and could not bear to hear any noise. He became even more upset after hearing Li Dequan talking non-stop.

"Okay, okay, this is none of your business. You're already fine."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Yinzhen again: "Okay, Yinzhen, why don't you do anything to trouble him? This is none of his business."

Since the emperor said so, Yinzhen tucked the quilt in for the emperor and said nothing more.

Everyone looked at the emperor's condition and didn't know when he would get better. His condition was getting worse day by day.

In fact, the emperor himself knew that his time was running out, but he was still worried about who would pass the throne to. After so many years, he still hadn't picked out a suitable successor for the Qing Dynasty. The thought of it made him very upset.

The emperor was seriously ill, and Yinzhen stayed in the palace for several days and did not return home.

Now, it is already December, and Nian Shilan knows that the emperor's life has also begun to count down.

"Songzhi, find me a cloak!" Nian Shilan ordered.

I have to go to my brother's place quickly and prepare early, I'm afraid he can't wait.

I don’t know whether the emperor will die on the same day as in the previous life. If there are any changes, I still need to prepare in advance.

We must ensure that the throne is in Yinzhen's hands.

It was so cold, Songzhi didn't know what Nian Shilan wanted the cloak for. She thought she was going out, but where was she going? Songzhi didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed Nian Shilan's instructions.

Looking at Nian Shilan's expression, she seemed to be very anxious. If it was something important, he dared not delay it at all.

"Concubine, the cloak you requested."

Songzhi found the cloak and presented it with both hands.

After a simple packing, Nian Shilan took Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai out.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

"Yes."

"Go faster." Songzhi ordered the sedan bearers.

"Where are we going?"

Zhou Ninghai came forward and asked Songzhi.

"I just heard from Concubine that it was to go to the General's Mansion last year."

Songzhi lowered her voice and said to Zhou Ninghai that after all, Nian Shilan was in the sedan chair, so they shouldn't speak too loudly.

"But what's the matter?" Zhou Ninghai asked again.

Songzhi was a little impatient. She had served Nian Shilan since she was a child, and she knew her temper. Although she had improved a lot since she entered Prince Yong's mansion, it was hard to say what would happen if she heard the servants asking about their master's affairs.

"Go, go, go, stay behind."

Song Zhi said angrily and pushed Zhou Ninghai to follow behind.

There was nothing she could do, since she was Songzhi. Although Zhou Ninghai felt a little aggrieved, she still went.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why are you so fierce?" he muttered softly.

"The eldest lady is here." The servant at the door of the Nian Mansion shouted loudly.

Although Nian Shilan had married Yinzhen and became a concubine, she was still called the eldest daughter at home.

Although she was married into the palace, she was still the daughter of the Nian family after all. This was her filial duty.

Nian Gengyao was just talking to his father about his sister, and here she came.

The brother and sister had not seen each other for many days, so Nian Gengyao hurried out to greet them.

"Brother." Nian Shilan bowed gently to her brother.

She was polite only to her parents, brother, and Yinzhen.

To her parents and brother, that was what a daughter of the Nian family should do, but to Yinzhen, it was a disguise that she had to do.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly. Your brother hasn't seen you for a while. Father is in the room, go quickly." Nian Gengyao said with a smile.

Although Nian Gengyao was an unattainable general and very majestic to the outside world, he was a good brother who doted on his sister Nian Shilan.

Seeing his sister coming, he was naturally very happy. Ganjiu asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that Nian Shilan liked. The most important one was the crab roe crisps, which was Nian Shilan's favorite since she was a child.

"I, your daughter, wish you all the best, father and mother. How are you doing?"

As soon as Nian Shilan entered the house, she began to show concern for her parents.

"It's all good, it's all good. It would be even better if my daughter came to visit more often."

When they saw Nian Shilan, the two elders couldn't stop smiling.

Only in the Nian Mansion can one feel truly comfortable. In Prince Yong's Mansion, there is only endless intrigue.

Indeed, since entering the palace, I have had fewer opportunities to come back, and I cannot be with my parents often, which seems a bit unfilial.

"Shilan, look, what is this? It's your favorite." Nian Gengyao said as he placed the crab roe crisps in front of Nian Shilan.

"Crab roe pastry." Nian Shilan looked at the crab roe pastry with shining eyes. "Thank you, brother."

"By the way, I came to see you this time because I have something important to discuss with you." As she said that, Nian Shilan pulled Nian Gengyao out of the door.

"What's the matter?"

Nian Shilan came closer, "Today, Eunuch Li called the prince into the palace to take care of him. Perhaps the emperor's condition has worsened. Shilan thinks that he may not have much time left. Now the prince's biggest rival is the Fourteenth Master. If something unexpected happens to the emperor in the future, please hold the Fourteenth Master back to ensure that the prince can ascend the throne smoothly."

"Sister, this is outrageous!"
