The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When Nian Shilan and Doctor Wen arrived at the entrance of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Su Peisheng saw them and hurried forward.

"Hey, Empress Hua, why are you here? It's so windy outside, do you have something important to report?" Su Peisheng saw Nian Shilan and Wen Shichu together, and he knew that something big must have happened.

"Yes, I have something important to tell the emperor, and I hope Eunuch Su can pass it on." Nian Shilan nodded and said to Su Peisheng.

Nian Shilan knew that Su Peisheng had been serving the emperor since he was a child, and that the emperor trusted him as much as she did Songzhi, so she had always been respectful to Eunuch Su. Even though she had been down and out in her previous life, Su Peisheng had never taken advantage of her.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Your Majesty, please wait a moment and allow me to go into the palace to report to the Emperor." Su Peisheng said respectfully to Nian Shilan, then turned around and trotted into the imperial study.

Su Peisheng is indeed the emperor's confidant. He can always guess the emperor's intentions. Although the emperor's love for Concubine Hua is not pure, he still has some sincerity towards her. Therefore, Concubine Hua's affairs cannot be delayed.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua and Imperial Physician Wen are here to see you. I see that Concubine Hua looks anxious, and I'm afraid she has something important to report to Your Majesty." After Su Peisheng entered the imperial study, he bent down and walked to the emperor's side.

When the emperor heard that Concubine Hua was coming, and brought the imperial physician with her, he thought that Shilan was injured, and quickly asked Su Peisheng to summon Shilan to the main hall of the Yangxin Palace. He also strode over, quite anxious.

Upon seeing this, Su Peisheng hurried out to invite Concubine Hua and Imperial Doctor Wen into the palace.

When Concubine Hua and Imperial Doctor Wen entered the main hall and saw the Emperor, Nian Shilan immediately knelt on the ground with Imperial Doctor Wen to pay their respects to the Emperor.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"Your humble servant Wen Shichu pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."

The emperor didn't even look at Wen Shichu. He quickly pulled up Concubine Hua and looked at her carefully. Seeing that Concubine Hua had no injuries, he began to ask.

"Why did my beloved concubine bring Doctor Wen here? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hua Fei said quickly: "I am not feeling unwell, Your Majesty can rest assured. I came here this time because I have something important to report to Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard this and saw that Nian Shilan's face was full of seriousness, he asked Wen Shichu to stand up and pulled Nian Shilan to sit on the chair, "My beloved concubine, please sit down and talk slowly."

After Wen Shichu expressed his gratitude, he stood where he was.

"I heard that Concubine Wan was suffering from palpitations and was unwell. I am now taking care of the harem affairs with the Queen, so I thought of taking Songzhi to visit Concubine Wan."

Hua Fei continued, "When I was about to return to the palace, I saw the crabapple tree in front of Wan Chang's courtyard was in full bloom. I was tempted to look at it, so I stopped under the tree for a while. As a result, I discovered something strange."

When the emperor heard that it was related to Concubine Wan, he thought of the day of the palace selection, the woman who looked a bit like Chun Yuan when she smiled, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What happened?"

Hua Fei replied calmly, "The ants under the tree were moving the sugar, but they were all moving around the roots. I wondered if there was something fishy going on. So I asked Xiao Yunzi from Sui Yuxuan to check it out, and to my surprise, they dug this thing out from under the tree."

As Hua Fei spoke, she motioned for Wen Shichu to present the box in his hand.

The emperor saw the box in Wen Shichu's hand and asked, "What is this?"

Concubine Hua did not respond, so Doctor Wen quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, this is musk from the forest musk deer, which has the strongest medicinal power among all musks. If an ordinary woman keeps it company all day, she will be weak and have difficulty getting pregnant."

As soon as Wen Shichu finished speaking, the emperor shouted angrily, "How dare you! There is such a poisonous creature in the harem. You are truly a vicious person!"

Seeing the emperor getting angry, Concubine Hua and Wen Shichu quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

The emperor asked, "What about the body of Suiyu Xuanwan Changzai?"

When Wen Shichu heard the emperor asking about Zhen Huan, he quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan's stay was short and she has not been seriously injured. I have already prescribed medicine for Concubine Wan to help her recover."

When the emperor heard what Doctor Wen said, he helped Nian Shilan up, patted her hands, and said with relief: "My beloved concubine, you handled this matter very well. Thanks to your carefulness, you didn't let the vicious woman in the harem succeed."

When Concubine Hua heard what the emperor said, she knew that he had not thought about Concubine Fang. She thought for a moment and said quietly, "How does the emperor know that this man did not succeed?"

The emperor was slightly stunned when he heard what Nian Shilan said. Wasn't Zhen Huan not seriously injured? Then why was she still...

When Nian Shilan saw the emperor's expression, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The emperor was really ruthless. After all, Concubine Fang had been favored for a period of time. When she was in great favor, she was on par with herself. But now, she has been forgotten by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Concubine Fang who lived in Shuiyuxuan before?" Concubine Hua asked in a gentle voice.

The emperor did not react for a moment to what Nian Shilan meant by mentioning Concubine Fang. Before, Concubine Fang had a miscarriage and insisted that it was Nian Shilan who did it. Didn't Nian Shilan deny it? Why did he mention her now?

No, Suiyuxuan... Concubine Fang... had a miscarriage...

The emperor suddenly looked at Nian Shilan in disbelief.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan realized that the emperor probably understood what she meant, so she looked at Wen Shichu and asked, "Doctor Wen, I want to ask you, if a pregnant woman is accompanied by musk all day long, what are the consequences?"

When Wen Shichu first heard Nian Shilan's question, he didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't ask. After all, Wen Shichu entered the palace relatively late, and Concubine Fang was banished to the cold palace long before he entered the palace as an imperial physician, so Wen Shichu didn't know about this.

But Wen Shichu still reported truthfully: "Reporting to Concubine Hua, if a pregnant woman encounters this musk deer, her body will become more and more uncomfortable, and eventually she will be poisoned and have a miscarriage."

When the emperor heard Wen Shichu's answer, he slammed the table in anger, "How dare you! This harem has never been peaceful, there are always intrigues, I have always turned a blind eye, as long as it is not excessive, I can't bear to be too harsh. But there is such a vicious woman in the harem, if I don't investigate carefully, when will this harem be peaceful?"
