The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When the Queen Mother heard what Nian Shilan said, her heart suddenly tightened, and she felt that something was out of her control. In the Queen Mother's memory, Nian Shilan would not say such sensible words, and she would not be so calm and not make a fuss at this moment. Then the Queen Mother looked at Nian Shilan with a suspicious look, wondering if Nian Shilan had been replaced by someone else?

The Queen Mother never thought that this person was Nian Shilan, because she knew too well Nian Shilan's growing environment. Born into a family of military generals, she was spoiled by her parents and brother since childhood. How could she be willing to humble herself to please others?

When the emperor heard what Nian Shilan said, his love for her deepened. He kept filtering her image. Shilan was always like this. As long as it involved her, she would be more anxious than anyone else, even if she had to put herself at risk. How could the emperor not love such a Shilan?

Seeing that the two were silent and didn't say anything, Nian Shilan couldn't help but think to herself, is there something wrong with what she just said? Otherwise, why didn't they ask her to stand up? Summer clothes are thin to begin with, and I have to kneel on these cold and hard tiles. I'm afraid my knees will soon turn purple. What is the emperor thinking? Didn't he just protect me? Forget it, it's better to ask for help from yourself than others!

Nian Shilan suddenly swayed and stumbled to the ground. The next second, Songzhi, who was kneeling behind Nian Shilan, rushed to her own queen and said in a panic, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The noise woke up the Queen Mother and the Emperor, who were thinking about something. When the Emperor saw Nian Shilan fall to the ground, he stood up and ran towards her, picked up Princess Nian Shilan, and shouted to Su Peisheng, "Go and call Doctor Wen to the Yangxin Palace."

The emperor was in such a panic that he ignored the empress dowager behind him and ran straight to the Yangxin Palace holding Nian Shilan.

After Wen Shichu arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he checked Nian Shilan's pulse. Songzhi stood behind Wen Shichu and gently pinched Doctor Wen where the emperor couldn't see. Wen Shichu understood what was going on. Combined with what was said in the palace today that the Empress Dowager had sent Concubine Hua to Shoukang Palace, Wen Shichu reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Concubine's pulse is stringy and thin, her tongue is changeable, and she often has mood swings, insomnia and dreaminess. This is caused by emotional imbalance. She should regulate her emotions and soothe her mood to achieve a balance between body and mind."

The emperor was in a very irritable mood at this time. He did not have the patience to listen carefully to Doctor Wen's words. He asked sternly: "Just tell me if Concubine Hua is seriously ill and when she will wake up?"

Wen Shichu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is just suffering from palpitations and fright. She is fine and will wake up in about half an hour."

When the emperor heard that Shilan was not seriously injured, he dismissed everyone in the hall, leaving only the emperor and Shilan. The emperor held Shilan's hand without moving, just quietly looking at Shilan lying on the couch.

Nian Shilan's eyelids moved and she slowly opened her eyes. She saw the emperor looking at her with concern and couldn't help feeling a little amused.

"Your Majesty..." Nian Shilan called out pretending to be weak.

"Shilan, you finally woke up. I was so worried." The emperor held Shilan's hand tightly, his face showing concern.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made Your Majesty worried." Nian Shilan forced a smile and tried to get up, but fell down again due to exhaustion.

"You said you were fine, but you fainted." The emperor scolded.

"I was just anxious for the moment and didn't want the Emperor to have a quarrel with the Queen Mother because of me, so..." Nian Shilan hesitated to speak.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just have a good rest." The emperor tucked the quilt around Nian Shilan.

"Your Majesty, could you please stay and accompany me?" Nian Shilan held the emperor's hand tightly, tears in her eyes, and a hint of pleading with fear of being rejected.

The emperor felt a little sad when he saw Nian Shilan like this, and sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't leave, I just want to pour you a glass of water."

Nian Shilan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. With a hint of shyness on her face, she looked at the emperor and said, "It's okay. I'm not thirsty."

The emperor sighed helplessly, and finally broke free from Nian Shilan's hand. He stood up, poured a cup of tea, and placed it on the table beside him. "Come on, be obedient, and I will feed you."

The emperor helped Nian Shilan up from the couch, let her lean on his arms, brought the teacup to his lips, blew it gently to cool it, and then brought it to Nian Shilan's lips, "Be good, open your mouth."

Nian Shilan obediently took the emperor's hand and drank the tea in the teacup, then said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor tapped Nian Shilan's nose with amusement and said, "You always get excited like a child when you are given a little sweet treat."

Nian Shilan turned around and hugged the emperor's neck, rubbing her forehead against his bosom, "I like the emperor very much when he is by my side."

The emperor pretended to be angry and glanced at Nian Shilan. "Oh? You mean you don't love me when I'm not by your side?"

Nian Shilan knew that the emperor was teasing her on purpose, so she pretended to be thinking seriously for so long that the emperor was about to get angry and wanted to push her down on the bed. Nian Shilan smiled and came over, kissing the emperor's cheek lightly, "As long as it's the emperor, no matter what he looks like, I love him."

Nian Shilan's words made the emperor very happy, but he deliberately put on a cold look and turned his face away. However, from the corners of his lips that could not be suppressed to rise, the emperor's good mood at the moment was undoubtedly revealed.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan laughed softly. She knew that the emperor was just pretending to be reserved, so she deliberately moved closer to him and said softly, "Your Majesty, really no matter what you do, I like you."

The emperor was moved when he heard this, but he pretended to be calm and asked, "Oh? So, if I favored other concubines, you wouldn't mind?"

Nian Shilan complained in her heart, "Don't you have enough concubines to favor? How dare you ask me this question shamelessly." But she just blinked and forced a smile and said, "Of course I care, but I knew clearly from the beginning that you are the emperor. The emperor has to care about the world, so naturally he will have three palaces and six courtyards. As long as I can always be by your side, I will be satisfied."

The emperor smiled when he heard this. He gently put his arm around Nian Shilan's waist and said, "Shilan, you are becoming more and more considerate now."
