Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Yes, I understand." Li Wanting agreed.

……

Yonghe Palace.

After dinner, Concubine De was sitting on the couch sipping tea. The bright moon was hanging high in the sky, so beautiful. But the human heart was not as pure as this.

"Your Majesty, someone from the palace reports that the matter has been settled." A little maid came in and announced.

Concubine De blew on the tea. "Is it clean?"

"Clean."

"Okay, now I have nothing to worry about."

Concubine De thought that she could rest easy from now on. Little did she know that everything had just begun...

After one night, Prince Yong's mansion seemed to have returned to its former tranquility. Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin did not have any conflicts. All night, Qi Yuebin was guarding Nian Shilan's bedside...

The next day, Nian Shilan woke up and sent everyone out of the room, leaving only Qi Yuebin. Nian Shilan's slight movement woke Qi Yuebin up.

"Sister, you're awake, does your stomach still hurt?"

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Sister, I'm much better now."

Qi Yuebin nodded.

Nian Shilan added: "Sister, now that it's just you and me, I'll tell you straight."

"Okay, you go ahead." Qi Yuebin sat aside and listened attentively.

"Sister, I know it wasn't you who killed my child. They all said it was you. Although you gave me the medicine, I know it was definitely not you."

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, Qi Yuebin burst into tears. She didn't expect Nian Shilan to trust her so much.

"Sister, I swear to God. I have never thought of harming your child. I know everyone suspects me, but you trust me so much, I will never lie to you." Qi Yuebin said firmly.

"Sister, the prince asked you to give me the pregnancy-preserving medicine, right?" Nian Shilan asked again.

"Yes." Qi Yuebin suddenly realized what was going on. He then said, "You are doubting... the prince!"

Nian Shilan didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Sister, do you know why the prince asked you to bring me medicine?" Nian Shilan asked.

Qi Yuebin thought for a while and shook his head.

"Sister, think about it carefully. You and I both come from military families. In other people's eyes, if you gave me the medicine and caused me to miscarry, I would definitely take revenge. If we kill each other, who will benefit?"

Qi Yuebin was stunned: "Yes...Prince! If we have a falling out, we will not pose any threat to him! It's brilliant, really brilliant!"

"Concubine, General Nian is here." Songzhi shouted outside the door.

"Let brother in." Nian Shilan ordered.

After hearing the instructions, Songzhi opened the door for Nian Gengyao.

"General Nian, please."

This morning, Nian Gengyao learned about his sister's miscarriage when he attended court. He knew that this must have been man-made, so he rode his horse as fast as he could to Prince Yong's mansion as soon as the court was over.

"Shilan, Shilan." Looking at his sister lying on the bed, Nian Gengyao, as a brother, felt heartbroken.

"Who did it!" Nian Gengyao said angrily.

"Brother, don't worry about it." Nian Shilan said. She didn't want Nian Gengyao to intervene in this matter. In this life, she wanted to protect her brother, and she wanted to protect the Nian family in her own way.

"Shilan, is someone threatening you? Tell me, is that true? Then I'll go ask the prince." Nian Gengyao was a little angry and stood up to find Yinzhen.

Seeing her brother about to leave, Nian Shilan hurriedly stopped him. With her brother's temper, what would happen if he went to find the prince?

"Brother, don't go, I say!"

Nian Gengyao stopped and turned around.

"I don't want this child."

Hearing Nian Shilan's answer, Nian Gengyao was shocked. She loved Yinzhen so much, how could she not want a child? In this era, only by having a child can you have favor and support in the future.

"How could you not want it? I know how much you liked him when you were in the palace. You kept asking to marry him. How come you don't even want a child now? But he's not good to you?" Nian Gengyao had some doubts in his mind and was waiting for Nian Shilan's answer.

"Brother, he was very good to me, it was me who didn't want this child. I have my reasons, don't ask me." Nian Shilan knew that if she told her brother the truth, with his temper, he would definitely go to Yinzhen to ask for an explanation, and the fate of the Nian family would eventually repeat the same mistake.

After hearing what Shi Lan said, Nian Gengyao did not ask any more questions. "Well, you should take good care of yourself. I won't stay any longer, so I will go back first."

After Nian Gengyao left, Qi Yuebin also left to pay his respects to Yixiu.

As soon as she went out, she ran into Feng Ruozhao on the road. The two smiled at each other, and Feng Ruozhao said, "Sister, I pay my respects to you, elder sister."

Qi Yuebin smiled and walked towards Feng Ruozhao.

"Where are you going, sister?"

"Go and pay your respects to the legitimate wife. Where's my sister?" Feng Ruozhao said.

"Me too, let's go together."

The two of them walked towards Yixiu's place together and had a pleasant chat along the way.

"Sister, how did Mrs. Nian's child die?" Feng Ruozhao inquired.

Qi Yuebin heaved a sigh of relief. "Well, that child is pitiful. It's probably not their destiny yet." The two spoke in low voices, fearing that someone with ulterior motives might hear them.

"It's just a pity for this child, he died before he was even born..." Qi Yuebin said again.

"Yes."

The two couldn't help but feel regretful.

As they chatted, they arrived at Yixiu's place...

Li Wanting arrived early.

"I pay my respects to Madam Madam." They both said together.

"Get up...Jianqiu, please take a seat."

As soon as they sat down, Yixiu asked, "How is Mrs. Nian? Is she feeling better?"

Qi Yuebin replied: "Much better, nothing serious."

Yi Xiu sighed: "This child is really pitiful. After all, he was born without a chance. I don't know who did this."

"I don't know." Qi Yuebin said with her head down.

Hearing this, Li Wanting could no longer sit still and said sarcastically, "Don't you know? Didn't you kill Nian's child? She had a miscarriage because she drank your pregnancy-preserving medicine. Could it be that you saw that she was pregnant and deliberately harmed her?"

Facing Li Wanting's suspicion, Qi Yuebin remained calm. She knew that Yixiu and Li Wanting were not good people, so there was no need to quarrel with them.

Qi Yuebin looked at Yixiu with an innocent look on her face: "Fujin, I didn't. She and I are sisters, how could I harm her? How could I be so cruel?"

After all, there was no evidence, so Yixiu had nothing to say. He just scolded Li Wanting.

"Don't talk nonsense. Do you have any evidence?"

Li Wanting lowered her head and dared not speak.

Yixiu added, "We are all the prince's women. We should all think about the prince's offspring and get along well with each other. We should not always be jealous and think about how to harm others. We should think more about how to serve the prince well, which is the most important thing."

The person who least wanted to share Yinzhen with others was Yixiu. However, women in this era had to do so.

……

Yinzhen was handling government affairs in the study, and Su Peisheng was waiting on him. The room was exceptionally quiet.

A eunuch came in at the door and announced, "Your Highness, Eunuch Jiang from Fu Jin's side is here..."

"Let him in." Yinzhen said.

The young eunuch glanced at Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng waved his hand, indicating, "Go quickly."

Soon, Jiang Fuhai came in.

"Your servant greets His Majesty."

"Get up, what's the matter?"

Jiang Fuhai bowed his head and replied, "Fujin invites you to have lunch. The bird's nest and red date soup has been cooked. Please come and taste it."

"Okay, let's go." Yinzhen put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and went to Yixiu with Jiang Fuhai.

Seeing this, Jiang Fuhai breathed a sigh of relief. "The prince is in a good mood today, and it's just right that we can report to the concubine. Since the fifteenth prince didn't go to the concubine last time, the concubine has been in a bad mood these days. As servants, we naturally have to serve her carefully."

"Your Highness, look, that's Lady Nian." Su Peisheng pointed to a place not far away. Following Su Peisheng's voice, Jiang Fuhai also saw it. Jiang Fuhai felt uneasy, and who knows what will happen next.
