Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

However, the clothes did not belong to someone else, but to Hongli.

Jiang Fuhai was far away and couldn't see it clearly, but he saw that the size of the clothes didn't look like those for adults. And in the Yiku Palace, Hongli was the only child.

Could it be that the Fourth Prince also...

Jiang Fuhai couldn't help but speculate in his heart, but it was no wonder that he thought so. After all, this incident happened in Yikun Palace, so it was no wonder.

Nian Shilan took the clothes from Songzhi's hand and burned them aside without saying anything. In fact, there was no need to say anything because Jiang Fuhai couldn't hear her anyway.

It's just a trick he has been using. Wait for him to report to the Queen, then there will be something interesting to watch.

After watching at the door for a while, Jiang Fuhai knew that he would probably be able to report back to Queens, so he didn't stay any longer.

"Miss."

Seeing that there were still some strangers in Jingren Palace, Jiang Fuhai first called the Queen to signal her.

Apparently, the Queen also understood: "Jianqiu, take them all down."

After the door was closed, the Queen spoke to Jiang Fuhai: "Have you found out everything?"

The Queen is eager to know what the current situation is in the Yikun Palace. Since the Emperor has no intention of locking the palace, it all depends on God's will.

"Your Majesty, I saw it clearly. The clothes are already being burned in the Yikun Palace."

Jiang Fuhai paused and said, "The Fourth Prince's clothes."

When the queen heard this, she immediately became energetic, her headache was gone, and her body became stronger: "Really?"

At this moment, he was thinking that Hongshi's path to becoming the crown prince would have one less stumbling block.

In fact, the Queen's original intention of letting Wang Jin contract the plague was to get rid of the Fourth Prince, not only for her own future throne as the Empress Dowager!

"By the way, has the Yikun Palace packed up anything?"

The Queen has always been frugal, and this moment is no exception. She's looking to see if there's anything that can be reused.

Jiang Fuhai thought for a moment before replying to the Queen: "Yes, there are quite a few things. When I went there just now, I saw Concubine Wang's room being packed up. Your Majesty means..."

Jiang Fuhai knew that it was no coincidence that the Queen asked this question.

"Then go pick out some things that are still usable. After all, she is a noble person, it would be a pity to waste them."

After saying that, the queen smiled and Zhou Ninghai went downstairs.

But as soon as he left, the queen went to the Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

I hadn't seen the queen yet, but I could hear her crying. It was like hearing the sound before seeing the person.

"Hey, which palace lady is this crying lady from?"

Hearing the noise, Su Peisheng looked around, but he couldn't see anyone and couldn't find the source of the sound.

After a while, it turned out to be the queen.

"Hey, Madam, how come you are here?"

Seeing that the queen looked unhappy and crying, Su Peisheng hurried over to her.

The Queen's crying was not simple. Su Peisheng could only wait carefully on the side, and he couldn't tell what the Queen was trying to do.

"Eunuch Su, where is the emperor?"

The Queen took a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked Su Peisheng, the Emperor must be in the Yangxin Palace, he just needed Su Peisheng to pass the message.

Seeing that the queen had spoken, Su Peisheng knew that the queen might be in a better mood, so he asked, "I wonder why the queen is so sad."

Before she could say anything, the Queen started again: "Eunuch Su, it's the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince..."

The queen's tone was intermittent and she kept crying.

Fourth Prince, this frightened Su Peisheng, "Madam, please tell me in detail, what happened to the Fourth Prince?"

This is a matter concerning the prince, and is no small matter. Royal bloodline is also valued by the emperor and the empress dowager. Although his biological mother was a palace maid who did menial tasks, the Fourth Prince is, after all, the emperor's bloodline.

"Eunuch, please go and tell the emperor that I have something important to tell him."

The queen said it again, and Su Peisheng hurried away.

Fourth Prince, what could possibly happen to the Fourth Prince? He had been thinking about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. But the moment Su Peisheng turned around, a good premonition emerged in his mind!

Could it be that the Fourth Prince was infected with the epidemic? The epidemic is raging now, and the Fourth Prince is young and weak. If this is true, it would be a big deal! It's unbelievable!

This thought frightened Su Peisheng so much that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on? You're so rash!"

Although the emperor was reviewing memorials at the moment, he still saw Su Peisheng's actions.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not do that."

Su Peisheng adjusted his hat, then came to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is waiting outside, and she doesn't look very happy."

There are so many things going on right now, and the emperor was not very willing to see the queen, so his tone was a little impatient: "If there is nothing important, ask her to go back. The epidemic is raging, and it is already worrying me enough."

"It seems to be because of the Fourth Prince."

Su Peisheng spoke in a very low voice, cautiously testing the emperor.

Firstly, he himself didn't know what happened to the Fourth Prince, secondly, because the Emperor was upset, and thirdly, because the Fourth Prince's biological mother had never been favored by the Emperor. So Su Peisheng was afraid to mention the Fourth Prince, because the Emperor would always remember the previous incident.

"Call the Queen in."

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and took a sip of tea before speaking.

Since it concerns the prince, the emperor has to listen to it.

"emperor."

Although the queen wiped away her tears, she still looked crying when she came in.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Get up."

The emperor spoke very quickly without even looking at the queen.

"what's up."

"I'm afraid that the Fourth Prince has been infected with the epidemic."

Having said that, the queen started acting again.

But the emperor was not calm: "What? When did it happen?"

As he said this, the emperor was about to get up and go to Yikun Palace. Fortunately, Su Peisheng was quick to step in front of him and stop him.

"Your Majesty, you cannot go, Your Majesty. The epidemic is now concentrated in the Yikun Palace. Your Majesty cannot ignore your own health, Your Majesty."

After hearing Su Peisheng's words, the emperor paused.

I just thought about it when I heard the news, and didn't think about it carefully. The Queen was in Jingren Palace, so how could she know about what happened in Yiku Palace?

"How did you find out?"

After reacting, the emperor slowly turned around and looked at the queen.

"I ordered Jiang Fuhai to see if there is anything I can do to help in the palaces. I also want to do my best."

"But when Jiang Fuhai came back, he said that the Fourth Prince might have been infected with the plague."

The queen's crying became more and more sincere, and it was unclear whether she believed it or not.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

The queen looked at the emperor helplessly, just waiting to see what he would do.

Although the queen's face was covered with tears, she must be very happy in her heart.

Now all we have to do is make sure the Third Prince is well.

"Su Peisheng, tell Concubine Hua to go to Jingren Palace."

The emperor thought that it would be better to ask Nian Shilan about this matter first, so he instructed Su Peisheng, and the emperor and the queen went to Jingren Palace to wait.

When he arrived at the Yiku Palace, Su Peisheng was trembling with fear. Although he had lived to such an old age, he had never seen such a ferocious epidemic.

He covered his mouth and nose at the door and ran in quickly. Nian Shilan was sitting in the yard, keeping an eye on Wang Jin's situation.

Just as the Queen said, the smell of mugwort alone in Yikun Palace is enough to make people choke!

"Your servant pays respects to the Empress Hua."

Seeing Su Peisheng coming over, Nian Shilan was a little surprised, but it was also expected.

"Eunuch Su, please stand up."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting in Jingren Palace. Please go there immediately."

Su Peisheng conveyed the emperor's order and was just waiting for Concubine Hua to set off.

"Let's go."

Nian Shilan responded with disdain, but her heart was full of calculations.

Jingren Palace, great.

When they arrived at the Yiku Palace, the emperor and the empress were already waiting inside. The emperor looked okay, but I don't know what was wrong with the empress. She looked tearful, as if a loved one had died.

"I pay my respects to the Empress."

"No gift."

The emperor said this calmly and asked Nian Shilan to stand up and sit down.

"Hey, what's wrong with the Queen? Are you sad?"

Nian Shilan looked at the queen as if she was watching a play.

But before the empress could speak, the emperor asked first: "How is Hongli these days?"

When the emperor said this, although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually a little nervous in his heart, fearing that he would get an answer he didn't want.

But fortunately, Concubine Hua said that Hongli was fine and everything was fine, so the emperor felt relieved.

"Why does Your Majesty ask this?"

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor in confusion, pretending to know nothing.

"fine."

The emperor responded with a much softer tone.

But when he turned to look at the queen, his face darkened.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The queen probably knew that the emperor was angry, and her expression was full of grievance.

"Your Majesty..."

Perhaps it was because she was still frightened by seeing the emperor get angry, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute.

"Okay, you are getting even more powerful by making fun of the prince."

The Queen knew what kind of person she was. After all, she had lived with her for many years. But the Queen was becoming more and more daring and arrogant now. It was unknown whether it was because the Queen Mother was backing her up.

"Your Majesty, I didn't do that. It was obviously Concubine Hua..."

The queen didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to call Jiang Fuhai in.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Jiang Fuhai, tell me quickly, what did you see in Yikun Palace?"

Now only Jiang Fuhai can prove his innocence.

However, Nian Shilan had a look of disdain on her face, waiting to see what Jiang Fuhai could say.

But just waiting to see the show.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, I was ordered by the Empress to check whether all palaces had medicinal materials. There is an epidemic in Yikun Palace now, so I paid special attention to it. I happened to see...saw it."

Jiang Fuhai deliberately glanced at Nian Shilan, fearing that she would target him. In fact, this was also done for the emperor to see.

"You said, I won't blame you."

"Yes."

Jiang Fuhai then continued, "It's just that I saw Concubine Hua and Miss Songzhi burning the Fourth Prince's clothes and crying. I also knew that this matter was extremely important and I dared not neglect it, so I hurried back to tell the Queen."

Nian Shilan sneered at the side. It was really difficult for her that the queen cared so much about her.

"So you're not sure that the Fourth Prince was infected with the plague, right?"

After hearing what Jiang Fuhai said, the emperor asked with a cold face.

"Slave, slave dare not."

The emperor was here, so Jiang Fuhai certainly didn't dare to say anything nonsense. He could only speak half-truthfully, but he would never dare to make up a rumor like this.

I knew it myself, but when I was at the gate of Yikun Palace, I did not see the imperial physician saying that the Fourth Prince had also been infected with the epidemic.

"Since you said you dare not, then it is the Queen who is making up rumors and causing trouble."

Having said that, the emperor turned the subject to the queen.

Nian Shilan knew that at this moment, she couldn't let the queen go easily.

"What? Epidemic? Your Majesty means that the Fourth Prince has been infected with the epidemic?"

Nian Shilan acted as if she was clueless: "How come I didn't know that the Fourth Prince was infected with the epidemic, but the Queen knew about it first?"

Seeing the emperor's slowly growing suspicious expression, Nian Shilan was quite satisfied. At the same time, they both looked at the queen tacitly.

"Your Majesty, I am also concerned about the Fourth Prince. Your Majesty, I don't have any other thoughts."

The queen really had no other choice but to pretend to be aggrieved and pitiful.

"care?"

The emperor had seen through this trick a long time ago and found it ironic: "It is said that the Fourth Prince has contracted the plague. Is this how you care about my Fourth Prince? Or do you want this in your heart? You are such a vicious person."

Although the Emperor does not favor the Fourth Prince, he will never allow the Queen to do anything wrong!

"Your Majesty, I am also confused. How could Concubine Wang be infected with the plague out of nowhere?"

The more Nian Shilan thought about it, the more puzzled it seemed. Since the emperor was here right now, she might as well raise the issue herself to see if there could be any clues.

"Yeah, why did it suddenly..."

If Nian Shilan hadn't mentioned it, no one would have known about it. The emperor had never thought about this matter in detail. It's just that no one in the palace had ever been infected with the epidemic, so how could it spread to Yikun Palace out of nowhere?

The queen sat aside without saying anything, but Nian Shilan also noticed that her expression was not very natural.

Based on my understanding of the Queen, she always has this expression when she says something. Although I don't have any evidence, I can now roughly understand it in my mind.

Now that things have been said, the rest depends on the queen's own luck. Nian Shilan paid her respects and went back first. She still had to keep an eye on Wang Jin's affairs.

When Nian Shilan returned to Yiku Palace, she saw Hongli already standing at the door waiting for her.

"Empress Hua."

Seeing Nian Shilan coming back, Hongli stood at the door and called out with an innocent look on his face.
