Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua
Chapter 320 Wang Jin Died
This cry was so sweet and cute that it really melted Concubine Hua's heart.
"Hey, Fourth Prince, why are you out?"
Jinxi and Concubine Hua came together and were really frightened. Why did the Fourth Prince come out by himself without any maid accompanying him?
"What's wrong, Fourth Prince? Why aren't you staying in the room?" Nian Shilan asked hurriedly when she saw him.
She casually led Hongli in. No one knew how long she had been standing there. If she knew what was going on with Wang Jin...
Nian Shilan didn't say anything, but just gave Jinxi a look, and Jinxi left first.
Only then did Concubine Hua bring the Fourth Prince into the house.
"Empress Hua, my mother..."
Hongli was smart. Just now when she wanted to go to Wang Jin, she was stopped by people outside. He probably had an idea in his mind.
But after asking this question, Nian Shilan would definitely know it. It’s just that Hongli is still young now, and she doesn’t know how to tell him, which is really pitiful.
But Nian Shilan also knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long. Hongli would know it sooner or later. Whether to tell it sooner or later would only depend on his ability to bear it.
Hongli is a sensible man and should be able to understand the reason behind this.
"Hongli, do you like Empress Hua?"
If Wang Jin was gone, Nian Shilan would have to find a new mother for Hongli. In short, no matter who it was, Hongli must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Queen.
Nian Shilan also wanted to adopt Hongli, but she didn't know what the emperor and the empress dowager meant.
"Hongli likes it. Apart from my mother, the only one I like is Empress Hua."
Although Hongli is only five or six years old now, he already understands a lot more than his peers. Otherwise, it would not be possible that the Third Prince is not liked by the Emperor at such an old age.
The emperor now has only two sons, one is Hongshi and the other is Hongli. The eldest prince, the second prince and the fifth prince can only blame themselves for being unlucky, as they were born but did not grow up.
Wang Jin has been taking care of Hongli since he was born and has lived in the Yiku Palace. Only Nian Shilan often goes there. She is not familiar with other concubines and has never even seen some of them.
The emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, but only Concubine Hua treats him better. Hongli can understand this.
If his mother were no longer around, he would probably be the only one who could protect him.
"Your Majesty, Doctor Wen is at the door asking to see you."
The door to the house was closed, and Songzhi could only shout at the door.
"come in."
After receiving Nian Shilan's order, Wen Shichu came in to report, but Nian Shilan had already ordered Songzhi to take Hongli away.
She had already guessed in her heart that Wen Shichu's arrival was probably not a good thing. Just by looking at his expression, she knew that he was extremely anxious.
Wen Shichu was also sensible. He reported to Nian Shilan only after he saw that Hongli had left.
"My lady, Concubine Wang has a high fever and keeps talking incoherently. I'm afraid she's dying soon."
In fact, Nian Shilan also knew about it and didn't find it strange. This was something that would happen sooner or later.
But before Nian Shilan could come up with any solution, she heard bursts of crying outside the door.
Now, I'm afraid it's too late.
Coincidentally, Nian Shilan and Wen Shichu looked at each other and understood each other without further explanation.
Soon, the news of Wang Jin's death spread throughout the Forbidden City. Although he was a noble, he could not be buried in a dignified manner.
"Just roll up the straw mat and burn it somewhere, and your life will be over."
Those words were said by Concubine Duan. It is really a pity to see her like that, as she is still at such a good age.
If she hadn't died, with her appearance, perhaps the future would have been full of possibilities.
We are still in the epidemic period, and the emperor also gave instructions to deal with it briefly for a few moments, but several concubines who were on good terms with her still came to see her off for the last time.
"Yes, it's a pity, but I feel sorry for Hongli too."
Whenever she thought of Hongli, Nian Shilan couldn't stop feeling hatred in her heart. Although there was no direct evidence to prove that she was the queen, the scale in her heart still leaned towards her.
Now that Wang Jin is dead, it seems that I should also look into training new people to compete with the Queen.
Zhen Huan definitely won’t work, it has to be someone who is easy to control!
But speaking of this, Lan also has a suitable candidate in mind, who is easy to control and scheming. Isn't that An Lingrong? !
But I haven't forgotten that in my previous life, it was An Lingrong who plotted against Zhen Huan.
After Wang Jin died, due to the epidemic, Hongli temporarily lived in Nian Shilan's palace. This was a good opportunity to enhance the relationship between Nian Shilan and Hongli.
This is good too. If Hongli relies on me in every way, then it would be justified.
However, Nian Shilan also knew that this child was like a wolf. When Zhen Huan was raising him, she was extremely careful with him. Now she was even more so. Fortunately, he was still relatively young and relatively easier to guide.
The matters in Yikun Palace have been dealt with, but the Queen has been busy all the time.
Ever since she failed to claim that Hongli was infected with the epidemic last time and was instead blamed by Nian Shilan, the Queen has been holding a grudge against him. These days, she has been sending Jiang Fuhai to keep an eye on him.
"Jiang Fuhai."
The queen called out, now is the time for her to take action.
"The slave is here."
"Are all the things I told you to pay attention to ready now?"
"Don't worry, Madam. I have been keeping an eye out for them. I have already picked out some good things. It's up to you, Madam."
The Queen had previously instructed me to keep an eye on the things thrown out from the Yikun Palace, but Jiang Fuhai did a very good job, keeping everything, including tea sets and beddings.
I wonder into which hands these “good things” will end up.
The Queen raised her lips and immediately had an idea: "Cun Ju Tang, Sui Yu Xuan, just make the arrangements as you see fit."
The queen now mainly wants to deal with Nian Shilan, but Shen Meizhuang is currently under house arrest because of the fake pregnancy, and no one is paying attention to her, so it is just right to take this opportunity to get rid of her.
To avoid any more trouble. Besides, Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy was something she had planned herself, so it would be better to get rid of it early to prevent any future troubles.
Soon, both Yiku Palace and Cunjutang received some unexpected things.
However, Jiang Fuhai did not go there personally, but sent a few new people there. This way, the Jingren Palace would not be implicated in the investigation.
However, Jiang Fuhai was still watching at the door. He first went to Cun Jutang. After all, compared with Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Hua, she was easier to deal with.
"Is everything settled?"
Seeing a young eunuch coming out, Jiang Fuhai, who was hiding behind the bushes, quickly stopped him and asked.
"Don't worry, sir. It's all done."
After the job was done, it was natural to collect reward money, and Jiang Fuhai naturally gave it generously.
The next place to go is the Yikun Palace, but Concubine Hua in the Yikun Palace is not so easy to deal with.
"Your servant pays respects to the Empress Hua."
Somehow, ever since the little eunuch entered the Yiku Palace, Jiang Fuhai couldn't stop worrying.
"What's the matter?"
Hua Fei took a look and asked, but didn't care too much.
"I have been ordered to bring a set of tea sets to Your Majesty."
I don’t know if the young eunuch was nervous when he said this. I think he was probably quite nervous.
However, Concubine Hua did not believe it. She was already a concubine, and there was no need for these people to send her tea sets. Besides, Nian Shilan had also seen that those tea sets did not match her position.
So he couldn't help but be suspicious, and he had never seen this eunuch before.
Thinking about it carefully, Wang Jin had just accepted the medicinal herbs from a young eunuch who looked unfamiliar, and then...
Now he is using this trick on himself! How ridiculous!
"Okay, you are so thoughtful and respectful. Now, go down."
After a pause, Nian Shilan asked Jinxi to give him a reward.
"Your Majesty, this tea set is clearly not something that your Majesty should have. Regardless of the quality or anything else."
Jinxi had been in the palace for many years, so she naturally saw through it at a glance that Nian Shilan should not have accepted it.
But Jinxi knew that since she accepted it, she must have her own intentions.
Grandma Shi Lan was very satisfied with Jinxi's loyalty and advice. She turned around and said with a smile, "Jinxi, I understand that this set of tea sets appeared at an inappropriate time, so there must be a secret that cannot be revealed."
"Your Majesty is smart, so what should we do with this tea set?"
Since it cannot be used, Jinxi still thought about how to deal with it. If it is arranged well, it will be fine. If it is not arranged well, it may cause some trouble.
Jinxi was right. Nian Shilan also looked around to see if there was a place to put it: "Jinxi, just take it and put it on top of the cabinet. It's usually not moved, so it should be fine."
Following Nian Shilan's gaze, Jinxi also understood.
After the incident of Wang Jin, before things had calmed down for a few days, there was another commotion in Cun Ju Tang. The first to know the news were the Queen.
"My lady, I can finally get what I wish for."
Jianqiu congratulated her from the side, and a smile appeared on the queen's face.
But when I thought about it, it didn't make sense. The things were clearly sent to the two palaces at the same time, but how come only Shen Meizhuang from Cunju Hall was infected with the epidemic, and there was no movement from Yikun Palace? It was strange to think about it.
"Jiang Fuhai."
"Yes, I understand."
The queen didn't say much, but just gave Jiang Fuhai a look and she understood.
It seems that I really did prepare for a rainy day. Fortunately, I had planted a nail when I was in the palace before, but I didn't plant more.
It’s Dongzhi!
Although it is of little use, it is better than having nothing. Nian Shilan is also cautious, and the only people who can serve him closely are Songzhi and Jinxi.
It was almost afternoon when someone came to Jingren Palace. It was Jiang Fuhai who brought them.
"My lady, I have brought the person here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the police uniform clapped their hands and Dong Zhi walked out from behind.
"My slave, please pay your respects to the Queen."
Dongzhi was just a lowly palace maid who seldom came to Jingren Palace. The Queen had never visited her before. This was the first time.
There were people standing all around, which made Dongzhi feel a little nervous.
"I wonder what instructions the Majesty has for calling me here."
Dongzhi asked timidly.
In fact, if the Queen had not saved her mother's family in the past, Dongzhi would not have stood on the Queen's side. After all, working under Nian Shilan for so many years was not bad, and she was not treated harshly.
"I want to ask you, is there anything different about Yikun Palace these past two days?"
Since Dongzhi was one of her own, the Queen asked directly, her face still looking kind and gentle.
"No."
Dongzhi thought about it carefully, but she didn't know what the Queen was referring to. She didn't notice anything unusual about Concubine Hua. "What do you mean, Madam?"
"Let me ask you, has Concubine Hua changed the tea set?"
Without waiting for the queen to answer, Jianqiu asked from the side.
Since the Queen didn't ask directly, she knew that she would not be able to ask this question. Jianqiu also understood that it would be more appropriate for her to say this herself.
After all, Dongzhi was brought out by herself before, but Concubine Hua didn’t know about it, otherwise Dongzhi would not have lived so long.
"not at all."
Dongzhi recalled and shook her head: "Empress Hua still uses the same set of tea sets with phoenix patterns and gold edges. That set was given by the emperor."
After hearing this, the Queen also understood why there was no movement in the Yikun Palace after several days. It turned out that Nian Shilan did not use the tea set at all.
"Miss."
Jianqiu leaned close to the Queen's ear and said, "That tea set was previously used by Concubine Wang. It is inevitable that the specifications are not suitable for Concubine Hua's status. Do you think it is?"
The Queen took these words to heart. What Jianqiu said made sense. This was probably the reason why there had been no news for several days.
"Oh, my lady, when I was sweeping the house a few days ago, I saw a set of tea sets on top of the cabinet. It looked quite new, but not as good-looking as the one that Concubine Hua had. I don't know if it was prepared for Miss Songzhi."
As soon as Jiang Fuhai heard Dongzhi's description, he knew that this was the set he had picked out.
"On top of the cabinet?"
Jiang Fuhai asked again, with a questioning look on his face.
"Yes."
This is indeed the case, Dongzhi replied again.
"In this way, the tea set will be considered as a reward to Songzhi. Remember, you must let Songzhi use the tea set, even if it's just one cup."
Jianqiu changed the way of explaining.
Since Nian Shilan would not use such a cup, but the gift of a noble status was given to Songzhi, it was a blessing for Songzhi.
"Yes. I understand."
Dongzhi agreed repeatedly. Although she knew that the Queen and Jianqiu had no good intentions and that Jingren Palace was plotting against Yikun Palace, Dongzhi had no choice but to do so.
Now that you've boarded the Jingren Palace pirate ship, you can't get off.
After everything was explained, Dongzhi was asked to go back quickly, so as not to arouse suspicion by being out for too long. As for how she was doing, we would have to wait and see in a few days to see if there was any progress.
