Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

I must talk to her some other day.

If that was not possible, Huanbi would not have betrayed Zhen Huan and helped Nian Shilan again.

But his only hope is Nian Shilan.

The ceremony of praying for the Queen Mother lasted for two days, and it became more grand on the second day.

It's time to return to the palace when it's almost over. After all, it's very inconvenient for the emperor and concubines to be outside.

"I hope that through this prayer, the Queen Mother's health will get better."

The emperor also looked worried, but he still hoped that the empress dowager would not mind Longkodo's matter.

After all, for the sake of the country, this is a helpless move.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother is in good health and will definitely get better."

Concubine Duan looked at the emperor and said that she also hoped that the emperor would not worry about this matter.

But Nian Shilan still found it strange. The Queen Mother was in good health, how could she change so much overnight? !

"How come the Queen Mother's health has suddenly become so bad?"

The ceremony was going on above, and Nian Shilan asked in a low voice below.

"Little Master."

Songzhi did know something: "I heard from Xiaoxiazi, who is beside the emperor, that Lord Longkodo died. It seems that since then, the queen mother's health has become worse."

Seeing how convincing Songzhi's words were, Nian Shilan didn't think they were false.

Moreover, this was said by the emperor's close entourage, so it is naturally more authentic.

"I haven't heard of any crime that Lord Longkodo committed?"

Nian Shilan couldn't understand why he died out of the blue. How did he offend the emperor?

Could it be that, like his brother, the emperor felt threatened and became suspicious?

In Nian Shilan's opinion, this is the only reason that makes sense.

The emperor was suspicious by nature, and Longkodo was just like his brother, both of them were meritorious officials who assisted the emperor in ascending the throne. Naturally, the emperor was afraid that their achievements would overshadow his own.

Since they can help the emperor ascend to the throne, they can naturally pull him down from the throne!

When you think about it this way, it makes sense, but what about the Queen Mother?

Nian Shilan had felt it strange before. Once when he went to pay his respects, he happened to meet Longkodo in Shoukang Palace.

But I didn’t think much about it at the time, it seems there is something really going on.

"Boom!!!!"

With the ringing of a bell, the blessing ceremony ended.

The emperor said a few simple words and asked everyone to go back first. However, Nian Shilan was absent-minded and she didn't know what the emperor said.

"elder sister."

Everyone dispersed and returned to their meditation rooms, but at this moment, An Lingrong came over.

"How is my sister these days?"

Nian Shilan didn't know whether An Lingrong was sincere or not, but Songzhi felt uncomfortable after hearing it.

"Ms. An has a really good memory. She still remembers our promise! But it's been a while since the incident. Did An remember it now?"

Songzhi couldn't bear it and mocked An Lingrong in a sarcastic tone.

"Ling Rong..."

Perhaps An Lingrong knew she was in the wrong and couldn't argue, so she had to pull Nian Shilan's sleeve and act pitifully to gain sympathy.

"Forget it, Songzhi."

Nian Shilan didn't get angry, but instead asked Songzhi to shut up.

It’s not that Nian Shilan doesn’t get angry, it’s just that nothing is worth getting angry about.

Besides, I have already agreed to it and my brother is no longer around. If I get angry, who will support me?

Also coming to pray for the Queen Mother was Prince Guo.

It would have been fine if I didn’t know about it yesterday, but now that I know that my royal brother is here to pray for the empress dowager, why shouldn’t I come?

Although he was praying for blessings, Yunli's eyes were always glancing towards Wanbin.

"Yunli, what are you looking at? Come here and play another game of chess with me!"

The emperor was standing not far away and shouting, not knowing what Yunli was looking at.

But now that the work is finally done, I'll play a game of chess to kill time. It's about time to go back to the palace.

Hearing the emperor calling him, Yunli hurried over.

"Would you like to go back with me this afternoon?"

As he spoke, a piece fell from the emperor's hand.

He also knew that Yunli's mother was here, so he asked this question.

"I will go back with my brother. It has been a long time since I last visited the Queen Mother in the palace."

Yunli also knew that the emperor might be testing him. If he said no, wouldn't the emperor think he was unfilial?

My mother will also blame myself.

"Alright."

Yunli's answer satisfied the emperor: "You grew up under the care of the Empress Dowager, so it's natural for you to be close to her."

But speaking of this, the emperor was somewhat envious of Yunli.

Although Yunli was not the biological son of the Empress Dowager, he was raised by her. However, his own biological child could only grow up by the Empress' side.

I really feel a little unbalanced.

When they were waiting to return in the afternoon, the emperor's procession could be heard even by the empress dowager who was far away in Shoukang Palace.

"Zhu Xi, listen, the emperor is really making a big fuss."

The Queen Mother naturally knew what the Emperor was doing. He made such a grand ceremony, wasn't he just trying to make all his subjects think he was filial?

But if he was really filial, why didn't he even see the emperor even though he was so seriously ill? What's the point of just doing superficial things?

The Queen Mother naturally looked down upon these things.

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is the Emperor after all, and he is also filial to the Empress Dowager."

Zhuxi understood what the Queen Mother meant and comforted her.

After a while, Prince Guo came, but the emperor still did not come. This made him really disappointed.

"My son, please pay your respects to the emperor's mother."

When Yunli saw the Queen Mother, he found that her condition was much more serious than he had imagined.

"Hurry...get up."

The Queen Mother took a long breath and stretched out her hand for Zhuxi to help Yunli.

"I heard that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, so I came to visit her."

As he spoke, Yunli sat closer to the Queen Mother and asked, "Has the Queen Mother asked the imperial physician to take a look? What did he say?"

Yunli looked at the thin empress dowager with a worried look on his face.

Although serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, it is not the case in front of the empress dowager.

"I've seen it. The Queen Mother is just hanging on by the ginseng soup now."

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, it was Zhuxi who spoke.

But she looked much more miserable than the Queen Mother.

"This kind of thing happened one after another in the previous dynasty, which made the Queen Mother worried. However, I can't help my brother, and I feel guilty."
