Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

After hearing what the emperor said, the empress dowager felt relieved. Although the queen was going too far, she was her cousin after all, and she couldn't just ignore it.

"What does the Emperor think should be done?"

The Queen Mother knew that it was time to hear what the Emperor was thinking so that she could respond accordingly.

In fact, everything else was fine, but the empress dowager was afraid that the emperor would intend to depose her. That would be bad. She had fought so hard to gain the glory of the Ulanara and Uya families, and she couldn't give it up so easily.

However, the emperor did not follow the empress dowager's words. Instead, he pondered for a while before asking.

"What does the Empress Dowager think of Concubine Hua?"

The emperor spoke in a very relaxed manner, and from his expression, one could not tell what he was thinking.

The empress dowager didn't think much about it. The emperor was already very fond of Concubine Hua on weekdays. Even if the emperor mentioned it now, the empress dowager would not think there was anything wrong.

Besides, Nian Shilan is a child that I really like.

"Hua Fei is smart, beautiful, and capable. Not only does the emperor like her, but I like her too."

The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"My son is thinking, between Shilan and Ulanara, who is more suitable to be the queen."

The emperor did not care about the empress dowager's expression and asked this question because he knew that the empress dowager might not agree, but the empress dowager had just said that she liked Concubine Hua.

In fact, no matter what the empress dowager's opinion is, the emperor's mind is already clear, otherwise he would not have asked these questions.

It would have been fine if he had asked someone else, but he had to ask the Queen Mother.

"Does the emperor now call his queen Ulanara? I have never asked about your relationship, but it is precisely because I did not ask that I never thought that you would become so distant now."

The Queen Mother's face changed, and her tone became much more stern: "The Queen is the mother of the country. Even if the Queen has many faults, the Emperor must not think of deposing her."

It was exactly what the Queen Mother thought. What you fear will come true.

Fortunately, the emperor tends to listen to her, which makes the empress dowager feel more at ease.

"My son will listen to the Empress Dowager."

"Do you remember the last words Chunyuan said to you before he passed away?"

Although the emperor promised to listen to the empress dowager, the empress dowager was always worried, so she could only use Chunyuan, the emperor's most beloved person, to give him a helping hand.

"My son remembers."

The emperor's expression suddenly became much more gloomy, perhaps because he was unwilling to recall that painful experience: "At that time, Chunyuan supported her son on his knees and said, treat Yixiu well, treat her sister well."

The emperor naturally said that he had a clear conscience on this point. Over the years, although there was no affection between him and the queen, he had always treated her with courtesy and he could save face.

Besides, as soon as Chunyuan passed away, he made Yixiu the queen. Since she was second only to the emperor, he naturally never treated her badly and always lived a life of luxury.

Although Chunyuan and Yixiu are sisters, Chunyuan is ultimately not comparable to Yixiu.

Chunyuan has a kind heart, but this night, his mind and eyes were full of calculations.

"Since the emperor remembers it, there is no need for me to say more."

Seeing that the emperor still remembered Chun Yuan's words, the empress dowager felt relieved. The emperor listened to her, but he certainly did not want to break his promise to Chun Yuan.

"Since these things are ultimately related to the Queen, it is only right for you to punish her. After all, as a role model in the harem, you should set an example."

The Queen Mother said solemnly: "In my opinion, it would be better to punish the Queen to confine herself to self-reflection for a month and copy the scriptures a hundred times."

The Queen Mother also thought of a compromise. It was impossible to depose the Queen, but the Queen should be taught a lesson.

"Okay, then let's follow the Empress Dowager's wishes."

Since the Empress Dowager has already figured out a solution, the Emperor naturally can't say anything more.

After the emperor left, not long after, the empress dowager's decree arrived at Jingren Palace. It was from Aunt Sun.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has a few words for me to pass on to you."

Although the Queen Mother did not come, she still sent a few words to the Queen as a warning to her.

"Auntie, please tell me."

The Queen also understood that the Queen Mother was trying to find a way to save her, so she knew this.

"The Queen Mother said that the Emperor is angry right now, so what he said to you might be harsh. He might not step into Jingren Palace for a long time. After all, the court is busy right now. You, the Queen, also understand pharmacology, and you should know that this epidemic is enough to worry the Emperor."

After saying that, Zhuxi added, "I really don't know when this epidemic will end."

"Yes, I will keep your words in mind. Aunt, please go back."

The Queen naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant. Epidemics and pharmacology seemed to be the key to overcoming the current difficulties.

As the saying goes, mistakes should be punished and merits should be rewarded. The emperor is a wise ruler and he is very clear about this distinction.

While the epidemic is still unresolved, why not just...

"Jianqiu, the current imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital..."

"The doctors from the Imperial Hospital are all in the Yikun Palace right now, don't worry, Your Majesty."

Before the Queen could say anything, Jianqiu quickly interrupted her. Judging from what the Queen said, she thought she would have to go to the Imperial Hospital soon.

"Okay, go ahead and see if there's anything in the Imperial Hospital that I can use."

The queen said it casually, but the shrewdness in her eyes seemed to be telling Jianqiu to be careful.

After hearing the Queen's instructions, Jianqiu hurried there.

However, Jianqiu did not take the usual route to the Imperial Hospital, but instead took a detour to the Yiku Palace. Sure enough, it was still as busy as usual. Suddenly, Jianqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the pace of going to the Imperial Hospital was quickened.

As expected, there was no one in the Imperial Hospital. However, Jianqiu didn't know where the thing the Queen wanted was, so she could only search everywhere carefully.

It's really my fault that I didn't pay enough attention to these things. Since Zhang Mi passed away, I really don't know who is the best physician in the Imperial Hospital.

But then again, there is an epidemic in the Yikun Palace. The Yikun Palace is Concubine Hua's territory. If I remember correctly, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen from the Imperial Hospital are Concubine Hua's men, so they should be on the front line of the epidemic!

Sure enough, Jianqiu actually found something at their seat!
