The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After Wen Shichu came out of Suiyuxuan, he went directly to Jingren Palace to report to the Queen Mother.

"What? Is Concubine Wan frightened?" asked the Queen in surprise.

After all, among the beauties who had just entered the palace, the Queen was most optimistic about Zhen Huan, because she looked three-quarters similar to her sister, Queen Chun Yuan.

The Queen knew very well that Concubine Wan was no ordinary person, but she did not expect that her health was so weak that she fell ill as soon as she entered the palace.

"Reporting to the Queen, Wan is often suffering from palpitations and fright. She is weak and occasionally catches a cold. She has a low fever and keeps talking in her delirium." Wen Shichu knelt on the ground to report to the Queen.

"In that case, you should take good care of Concubine Wan and help her recover soon." The Queen waved her hand indifferently and asked Wen Shichu to leave.

When Wen Shichu left the gate of Jingren Palace, Jianqiu hurried forward and said, "This Concubine Wan is just a pretty vase. She has such good fortune but her body is so useless."

"Okay, go and bring some supplements to Concubine Wan and visit her later." The Queen thought about it and decided that since Concubine Wan was not in good health, Concubine Shen might be able to help.

"Yes." Jianqiu responded and went downstairs to prepare supplements.

At Sui Yuxuan, after Wen Shichu left, Zhen Huan lay on the couch, thinking carefully about her dream.

Yes, the reason why Zhen Huan avoided favor was just because she had a very long dream.

A lot of things happened in the dream. She met the emperor by chance in the small garden, but the emperor always regarded her as a substitute for Queen Chunyuan. Liuzhu died tragically because of her. She and the emperor's younger brother, Prince Guo, fell in love with each other in Ganlu Temple. Unexpectedly, the family encountered an accident and Prince Guo's whereabouts were unknown. Zhen Huan then brought the child with Prince Guo back to the palace, cuckolded the emperor, and eventually angered the emperor to death and became the empress dowager.

This dream was so unbelievable that Zhen Huan was terrified.

Many things that happened today, except for some deviations on Concubine Hua's part, were exactly the same as in the dream, which shocked Zhen Huan greatly.

So she used the excuse of being ill and wanted to see what would happen next in the palace.

Time passed quickly and it was already evening. The eunuch from the Jingshifang came to the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity with a green card, ready for the Emperor to choose.

At this time, the Queen Mother was reporting to the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace about the cause of Fuzi's death.

"I checked and found that Fuzi has been sending her monthly salary to her mother since she entered the palace. Her mother is in poor health and her father is an alcoholic. Fuzi has always had a good relationship with her mother. A few days ago, Fuzi's father got drunk and beat her mother to death. Her father was also thrown into jail. I'm afraid that Fuzi knew about the changes in her family and wanted to commit suicide, so she was found in the well." The queen looked at the emperor cautiously and said.

When the emperor heard this, he nodded with great satisfaction.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, Shi Lan must not be implicated. After all, Nian Gengyao is still needed to quell the rebellion, and it is not appropriate for anything to happen that is unfavorable to Nian Shi Lan.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Xu from the Jingshifang is here." Su Peisheng entered the hall to report.

The emperor looked at Su Peisheng and said, "Let someone in."

When Eunuch Xu heard that the emperor was summoning him, he hurried in, presented the green card to the emperor, and waited for the emperor to choose.

God knows, the emperor has not entered the harem for many days this month. So far, the emperor has only been to Yikun Palace twice and Chuxiu Palace once.

The Empress Dowager often blames him for not doing his job well, and Eunuch Xu has no words to complain about it. Fortunately, the Empress is here this time and will definitely persuade the Emperor to enter the harem. Eunuch Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He hopes that among these new ladies entering the palace, one or two can please the Emperor, then his future tasks will not be so difficult.

The emperor looked at the green card presented by Eunuch Xu, and when he didn't find the person he was thinking about, he asked, "Why don't I see Concubine Wan's card?"

Without waiting for Eunuch Xu to reply, the Queen spoke up, "This afternoon, Imperial Doctor Wen and I reported that Concubine Wan is weak, has caught a cold, and has been a little frightened. She needs to rest in isolation and is not suitable for serving you in the bed."

After the queen finished speaking, the emperor was very puzzled, "Why did you get frightened for no reason?"

The Queen shook her head. "I don't know either. Doctor Wen didn't elaborate."

After hearing this, the emperor did not blame the queen. After all, the queen was in charge of all matters in the harem. It was inevitable that the queen would neglect a new concubine. She just said lightly, "When I saw her from a distance that day, I felt that she was a little thin. In this case, the queen is worried."

The Queen understood what the Emperor said and nodded to show that she understood. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said, "Xia Changzai spoke rudely at the gate of Jingren Palace today and was reprimanded by Concubine Hua. She was told to copy the palace rules five times and she was not allowed to sleep with the Emperor until she finished."

The emperor was intrigued when he heard this. When did Shilan become so quiet? She was not scolded or made to kneel, but was only punished to copy the palace rules. It was interesting, so he asked the queen what she had done.

After the Queen reported everything, the Emperor was very impressed. "Concubine Hua handled the matter well. It's time to teach the new and ignorant concubines a lesson. The Queen and Concubine Hua are in the harem, so it's not their turn to make decisions."

Seeing the emperor's happy face, the queen's heart almost choked. When had Concubine Hua ever respected her so much? She was just making enemies for herself.

Not only was the emperor not angry, he also indulged her mischief. He was really fed up with her and thought it would be better for her to not be the queen.

She thought so, but couldn't show it, so she smiled and signaled the emperor to quickly choose the green card.

The emperor looked at the green cards and didn't see the person he wanted to see the most. He hesitated for a while between the green cards of Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Shen, and finally chose Shen Meizhuang.

It seemed that Nian Shilan was just going through the motions when she met the emperor to investigate her food allergy a few days ago. Until now, no investigation results had been received. Nian Shilan no longer held out hope and prepared to take action on her own.

The results of the investigation were soon passed on to Nian Shilan. Since Nian Shilan had already identified the suspects in advance, he only needed to send someone to secretly investigate every move in Changchun Palace.

The servants reported that Cuiguo from Changchun Palace and Cai'er, a young palace maid from the imperial kitchen, were old acquaintances, so the person who added crushed peanuts to her chestnut cake was Concubine Qi.

Nian Shilan thought about it and asked Songzhi to inform the imperial kitchen. If she didn't want to pursue the matter of food allergy, she should hand Cai'er over to the emperor. In addition, she should send chestnut cakes with peanuts to Concubine Qi every day, and she must eat all of it.

Nian Shilan also wants Concubine Qi to experience what it feels like to have food allergies.

At night, news came that Concubine Qi had summoned the imperial physician, but Nian Shilan suppressed the news and did not let them disturb the emperor's good deeds.

By the time the emperor found out, it was already the afternoon of the next day. How could the emperor not know the reason? He just said indifferently, "Let the imperial physician treat her and let Concubine Hua vent her anger."
