Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

I didn't care whose voice was speaking just now.

"It's Aunt Zhuxi who is beside the Queen Mother." Jingxi, the manager, came in and said.

Nian Shilan put down the fruit in her hand and thought, now that Zhuxi is here, the Queen Mother should know that she is sick. Also, today, she has been staying in Shoukang Palace almost every day in recent days. Since she didn't go today, it is normal for the Queen Mother to ask Zhuxi to come and ask about her.

"What do you mean?" Nian Shilan asked again.

"I am just following your Majesty's instructions. You said I have caught a cold and need to rest. I won't see anyone."

Without Nian Shilan's permission, Jinxi would naturally not say anything. No matter who came, Yikun Palace would not see them.

Zhu Xi also returned to Shoukang Palace to report to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch waiting, looking outside the door from time to time. She was thinking that since she had sent Zhuxi, Concubine Hua would probably come with Zhuxi.

"Empress Dowager." Zhu Xi came to the Empress Dowager, bowed and said.

"I went to the Yikun Palace and was told that Concubine Hua had caught a cold and needed to rest. The Yikun Palace is now closed to visitors and will not see anyone."

"She caught a cold. How could Concubine Hua catch a cold? She has always been in good health." When the empress dowager heard that Nian Shilan had caught a cold, her face was filled with anxiety and concern.

Then he asked, "Have you found a doctor?"

The Queen Mother must be so concerned that she is confused now. Since Nian Shilan is sick, she would naturally ask the imperial physician to come and see her. She can't just bear it like that.

"Empress Hua's health has always been taken care of by Imperial Physician Jiang, and I think it should be the same now." Zhu Xi thought for a moment and said.

I went to Yikun Palace just now, and Jinxi told me that the imperial physician had given instructions, but I don’t know if the imperial physician is still in Yikun Palace now.

"That's good, that's good. This cold can't be delayed, but we can't take it lightly."

The Queen Mother was also worried, so she stood up and said, "Zhu Xi, accompany me to the Yikun Palace to have a look. I will never feel at ease until I have seen it myself."

Nian Shilan has always been in good health, but now she suddenly fell ill. The Queen Mother thought it was a little strange, and she had to go and see her in person to feel at ease.

"Empress Dowager, although it is spring outside, the temperature is still low after all. Empress Dowager, please be careful."

When Zhuxi heard the empress dowager say she wanted to go to the Yikun Palace, she knew that she might not be able to get in. She didn't want the empress dowager to make this trip. Although it was spring, it was just the beginning of spring after all. The empress dowager's health was not as good as that of the young concubines. Concubine Hua was sick, so Zhuxi had to worry about the empress dowager.

"It's okay. I know my own body condition and I won't fall ill so easily." After saying that, the Queen Mother walked out the door. She had to go to the Yiku Palace today.

However, within a stick of incense, the door of Yikun Palace was knocked again.

Nian Shilan had originally claimed to be ill and was recuperating, and had stayed indoors. But now, behind closed doors, the place is much more lively than usual.

Fortunately, I am not sick. If I were really recuperating, I would have been impatient a long time ago.

Nian Shilan winked at Jinxi and asked her to go and watch the door, and also asked Songzhi to follow and see who it was. They kept going back and forth, leaving herself no time to rest.

The door opened, and Zhuxi was still standing outside. Jinxi didn't know why Zhuxi came here again. Didn't he just leave? Could it be that the empress dowager had some instructions?

"Aunt Zhuxi, didn't you just leave? Why are you here again now?" Jinxi asked hurriedly. Could it be that Zhuxi saw something?

Zhuxi did not answer Jinxi's question. He just stepped aside and the empress dowager came over from behind.

"Your servant pays her respects to the Queen Mother." Seeing that it was the Queen Mother who came, Jin Xi hurriedly bowed and greeted her.

Songzhi was hiding behind the door, so the Queen Mother naturally couldn't see her. When she heard Jinxi talking about the Queen Mother, Songzhi didn't even say anything, but hurried into the house to talk to Nian Shilan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here." Songzhi spoke as she ran, not daring to speak too loudly for fear that the Queen Mother outside would hear her.

"The Queen Mother?! Why did the Queen Mother come all the way here?"

When Nian Shilan heard that the queen mother was coming, she became a little nervous. She had been sitting leisurely on the couch reading a book and eating fruit, but now she could no longer sit still.

"The Queen Mother heard that the Queen was ill, so she came to visit her." Song Zhi quickly replied. The Queen Mother was outside now, so she had to wait for Nian Shilan to give the order to decide whether to let her in or not.

Nian Shilan felt that the Queen Mother was kind-hearted at this moment, as she came to see him after hearing that he was sick. However, he was afraid that he would let the Queen Mother down.

The Queen Mother must not be allowed in. Who is the Queen Mother? She is the champion of the previous palace fight. It is not easy for her to become the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother comes in, I don’t have to pretend to be sick.

He was just pretending to be sick, he didn't look sick at all. Besides, there was no smell of Chinese medicine in the Yikun Palace. If the Queen Mother came in, wouldn't he be exposed immediately?

"Songzhi, go and tell them that I have a cold and I am afraid that I may infect the Queen Mother and damage her health. When I am well again, I will go to Shoukang Palace to accompany her."

As Nian Shilan spoke, she walked towards the bedroom, ready to lie down on the bed.

Having said that, I don't know if it will be useful, I can only give it a try. If I really can't stop the empress dowager, I can only bite the bullet and pretend to be sick.

"Yes."

Songzhi didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly replied according to Nian Shilan's instructions.

"Your servant pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and good health."

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Hua is not feeling well and has caught a cold. Thank you for your concern, but Your Majesty cannot allow her to enter the palace due to her poor health. If she were to infect the whole Yikun Palace, it would be a sin. Your Majesty has said that when she gets better, she will go to Shoukang Palace to accompany her."

Songzhi was also nervous after saying this, not knowing whether she could stop the Queen Mother.

However, after hearing this, the Queen Mother was not so determined to come in. It was unclear whether she felt that Concubine Hua really needed to rest or was worried that she would catch a cold.

"Alas." The Queen Mother sighed and said, "That's good. Tell her to take care of herself and not catch a cold again."

"Yes. Thank you Queen Mother for your concern." Songzhi and Jinxi said together.

The Queen Mother stood outside the door and glanced inside from afar. Without saying anything, she was supported by Zhu Xi and returned to Shoukang Palace.

After the Queen Mother left, Jinxi and Songzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this was discovered and reported to the Emperor, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Let's go, go back and report to Her Majesty, and don't let Her Majesty worry." Jinxi said to Songzhi.

Ever since Jinxi came to Yiku Palace, she has always been very caring towards Songzhi and would not let her do any dirty or tiring work. After all, she is much older than her and Songzhi is also a little girl. She gave her the position of head maid without any complaints, so it is her duty to take care of her more.
