The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 129 The Queen Pushes Down Nian Shilan

Seeing the scene in front of her, Nian Shilan's lips curled up secretly, but she looked at the queen with a smile on her face and said softly: "What does your queen mean by this expression? Don't you feel happy for me?"

The Queen still stared at Nian Shilan's belly, which had not yet bulged. After a long while, she slowly responded, "Of course I am happy for you, but I still hope that the Imperial Concubine can take good care of herself and the dragon in her belly. After all, the royal bloodline in this palace is very weak, and my sister has finally conceived a dragon after going through untold hardships. You must give birth to the child safely and don't let the emperor down."

After hearing what the queen said, Nian Shilan couldn't help laughing happily, and gently covered her mouth with her hand, then said in a delicate voice: "Yes, the emperor has told me that if I give birth to a princess this time, I will be canonized as a Princess of the First Rank; if I am lucky enough to give birth to a prince, the emperor will treat him as his eldest son."

When the queen heard what Nian Shilan said, her expression instantly turned extremely ugly. She stared at Nian Shilan thoughtfully, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Sister, you are really a blessed person."

Nian Shilan smiled again and said, "That's why I asked the Queen to protect my baby. I know that no one can give birth in this palace without your permission. So I came here to ask for your grace. I don't want to disappoint the emperor!"

The Queen's expression became even more unpleasant. "Royal Consort, what do you mean by that? Do you think that I, as the head of the Central Palace, don't have the magnanimity to accommodate you concubines and children?"

Nian Shilan also put away her smile at this moment, and looked at the queen with a cold expression, her eyes and eyebrows were full of contempt, and the corners of her lips were raised with a hint of sarcasm, "Queen, why are you pretending to be confused at this time? I have heard about Queen Chunyuan's affairs. I think no one knows better than you why the late queen died!"

As she spoke, Nian Shilan stepped forward and grabbed the queen's wrist. The queen was overwhelmed by the sudden mention of the cause of Queen Chunyuan's death, and she shook off Nian Shilan's hand without thinking.

Nian Shilan's body involuntarily fell forward and fell heavily to the ground. She suddenly felt a sharp pain. She covered her abdomen tightly, her face was as pale as paper, cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and she cried out sharply and miserably: "My stomach! My stomach hurts so much!"

The queen was stunned by this sudden scene. She looked at Nian Shilan in amazement and was a little absent-minded for a moment. When her eyes moved to the hem of Nian Shilan's skirt, she saw a touch of bright red slowly flowing out from there, which was shocking.

The queen couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a feeling of fear and panic surged in her heart. However, this emotion only lasted for a moment, and she quickly regained her composure. Recalling what Nian Shilan had said to her before, the queen just felt it was ridiculous. She knew very well that the emperor would never let Nian Shilan get pregnant with a dragon seed, so even if Nian Shilan had a miscarriage in her palace, she could easily shirk the responsibility.

Thinking of this, the corners of the queen's mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer. She stood quietly beside Nian Shilan, like a cold-eyed spectator, enjoying Nian Shilan's painful and twisted face. At this moment, Nian Shilan had lost her former arrogance, replaced by endless pain and despair.

When the emperor rushed to Jingren Palace, he saw Nian Shilan curled up on the ground in pain, with blood constantly flowing from the corner of her skirt. The queen stood beside Nian Shilan and said to her with a smile on her face: "Royal Concubine, how arrogant are you? Aren't you very popular with the emperor? If I get rid of your child, will the emperor blame me or let me go?"

When the emperor heard the queen's harsh words and saw the vicious expression on her face, he was overwhelmed with anger. He strode forward and shouted, "How dare you!" The emperor slapped the queen hard.

The queen did not expect the emperor to appear suddenly, nor did she hear the news. She was suddenly slapped by the emperor and fell to the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth and her ears buzzing.

When Nian Shilan saw the emperor appear, she felt as if she had seen a savior, and her tears flowed freely, "Your Majesty...save my child."

The emperor quickly ran to Nian Shilan's side, picked her up, and shouted to Su Peisheng, "Quickly send Doctor Wen to Yikun Palace."

The emperor ran to Yiku Palace holding Nian Shilan without looking back. Su Peisheng didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he and the emperor entered Jingren Palace. He was panicked. He didn't expect the queen to be so unscrupulous and openly set up a concubine in the palace. Hearing the emperor's order, Su Peisheng hurriedly ran towards the Imperial Hospital.

At this time, the Queen asked, "Eunuch Su, please stay. I just want to ask you one question: Does the Emperor know that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant?"

Su Peisheng stopped, turned around and bowed respectfully to the queen, then replied: "To answer your majesty, the emperor is naturally aware that the imperial concubine is pregnant."

After Su Peisheng finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer and ran out in a hurry.

After hearing what Su Peisheng said, the Queen had nothing to understand. Then she thought about how the Emperor just now looked worried about Nian Shilan and it definitely didn't seem fake. The Queen's anxiety and fear reached its peak.

"Jianqiu, help me go to Shoukang Palace quickly, otherwise I am really worried that the emperor will depose me as the queen for the imperial concubine."

When Jianqiu heard the queen's words, she did not dare to delay. She helped the queen up and walked towards Shoukang Palace together.

At this time, Wen Shichu had just arrived at Nian Shilan's Yikun Palace. The emperor did not bother to let Doctor Wen pay his respects, and hurriedly said, "Go and see how the Imperial Concubine is doing!"

Just as Songzhi was about to take Wen Shichu into the inner hall, the emperor called her back, "Songzhi, stay here. Let the other maids go and help. I have something to ask you."

Songzhi was worried about others, so she called Lingzhi to assist Doctor Wen. The emperor just sat there quietly without saying anything. After Songzhi had arranged everything, she knelt in front of the emperor and waited for him to ask questions.

The emperor did not delay and spoke first: "What exactly happened in Jingren Palace today? Tell me everything. If you dare to lie, you know the consequences."

Songzhi was shocked by the majesty emanating from the emperor, but she was not worried. She spoke slowly according to what Nian Shilan had told her before: "In reply to the emperor, the queen summoned my queen to her palace this morning to have a chat. Unexpectedly, as soon as my queen sat down in the palace, before she had time to ask the queen why she wanted my queen to go, the queen asked Jianqiu to pour a cup of tea for my queen to drink. Your Majesty, you know that my queen has been very cautious in everything since she became pregnant. I heard from Doctor Wen that it is not suitable to drink tea during pregnancy, so my queen did not drink it."
