The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After Imperial Doctor Zhang and Wen Shichu finished their discussion and wrote a prescription, they reported to the Emperor and took Zhou Ninghai back to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.

On the way, he passed by Changle Palace. Zhou Ninghai heard the rustling sound again. He looked carefully and saw several snakes with similar shapes in the grass nearby. They were spitting out their tongues and twisting their bodies to crawl towards the bedroom of Changle Palace.

Zhou Ninghai hurriedly shouted: "Doctor, please stop. There is a snake!"

Wen Shichu quickly pulled Doctor Zhang to stop. Wen Shichu was also startled when he saw three snakes crawling around. He blurted out, "Be careful, retreat quickly."

Wen Shichu hurriedly ran back to the Yangxin Palace with the limping Zhou Ninghai and the aging and staggering Doctor Zhang. When Zhou Ninghai saw the guards, he hurriedly said, "There are still snakes in Changle Palace!"

The noise outside the palace disturbed the emperor and Nian Shilan in the bedroom. The emperor came out with some displeasure and scolded, "What happened? It's so noisy!"

Zhou Ninghai and the other two knelt hurriedly. Zhou Ninghai said tremblingly, "Reporting to the emperor, just now I followed Doctor Zhang and Doctor Wen back to the Imperial Hospital. When we passed by Changle Palace, we saw three snakes crawling towards the Changle Palace bedroom."

When the emperor heard this, he was very angry. He was so angry that his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He shouted at the guards beside him: "Go to Changle Palace quickly and get rid of all the snakes for me!"

The guards took the order and put on their swords and walked towards Changle Palace.

Wen Shichu looked at this scene and said with some concern: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's pregnancy is unstable at the moment. If she is frightened again, it will be bad for the heir to the throne."

The emperor nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Wen Shichu said nothing more. The emperor looked at the three of them and said, "You can go with the guards. They will escort you back to the Imperial Hospital in a while."

After Zhou Ninghai and the other two nodded in thanks, they chased in the direction the guards left.

After the emperor returned to the palace, Nian Shilan asked with some concern: "Your Majesty, what happened outside?"

In fact, Nian Shilan had just heard them mentioning words like "snakes" and "other things" in the palace, and she was a little scared. The emperor didn't want Nian Shilan to have a miscarriage, so he comforted her, "It's nothing, but the two imperial doctors know that you had a miscarriage because you were frightened by seeing a snake, so they suggested that you take good care of the baby and don't make any more mistakes."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan nodded, then she remembered something and said, "Then I will go back to the palace after Zhou Ninghai comes back."

The emperor shook his head and said, "No need. You can stay in my Yangxin Palace for the time being."

Nian Shilan was a little surprised when she heard this, and looked at the emperor in disbelief, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible, this is unreasonable."

The emperor waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, you just got frightened this time, I haven't had time to investigate why there was a snake in the palace, I'm worried about you returning to the palace rashly."

Nian Shilan was a little surprised to hear that the emperor was so concerned about the child in her belly. After thinking about it, she declined and said, "It's okay. If the emperor is worried, why don't I return to the Yikun Palace to live. I don't want the emperor to be criticized by others because of this matter."

The emperor did not allow for any argument and said, "Alright, I have made up my mind. Don't let your imagination run wild. What you need to do now is to stay in the Yangxin Palace obediently, listen to the imperial physician, and take care of your pregnancy. I am still hoping that my beloved concubine will give birth to a child for me soon."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan didn't know what to say, so she just thanked him and lay down on the couch to take a nap. In fact, she was thinking about why a poisonous snake suddenly appeared in Changle Palace today. Although Nian Shilan had never seen such a snake, she didn't think that someone would use a non-venomous snake to scare her.

After all, Nian Shilan is now in a high position and is pregnant. There has been a rumor in the palace that the emperor intends to make Nian Shilan the queen. Nian Shilan doesn't think that the person behind this is just trying to scare her. This time, she is afraid that he wants to kill the root of the problem. However, she didn't expect that the emperor was also in her palace, thus saving her life.

After Zhou Ninghai and his two companions caught up with the guards, they arrived at Changle Palace, but because they were afraid, they did not dare to go in. They only heard the clinking of swords of the guards inside, and soon they heard a scream, as if one of the guards was accidentally bitten by a snake.

Zhou Ninghai's heart trembled. After all the snakes were removed, he hurriedly took the two doctors into the bedroom. He saw a eunuch lying on the ground, his face was pale, and cold sweat was pouring down his head. Zhou Ninghai hurriedly looked at Wen Shichu and said, "Please help Doctor Wen to take a look at this guard."

Doctor Zhang and Wen Shichu did not delay and hurriedly took the guard's pulse. After a long time, Wen Shichu and Doctor Zhang looked at each other and both shook their heads.

Zhou Ninghai was a little anxious when he saw this. Wen Shichu spoke before Zhou Ninghai could say anything: "This snake is extremely poisonous. The poison has already entered your internal organs. There is nothing I can do."

Zhou Ninghai has not been as cruel as before because of Nian Shilan's change in behavior during this period. Especially since the guard was injured and poisoned because of the Changle Palace incident, Zhou Ninghai's eyes became moist for a moment.

The guard fell to the ground, looked at Xiao Wu who was closest to him, reached out and took his hand, and said with difficulty: "Please help me take care of my mother."

Xiao Wu, a grown man, cried and snotted, but nodded and replied, "Okay, don't worry, I will do it."

Then everyone watched as the guard's arms fell weakly to the ground, his head tilted, and he stopped breathing.

Xiaowu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. His cry was so sorrowful that anyone who heard it wanted to cry along with him.

Doctor Zhang and Wen Shichu shook their heads and sighed, and Zhou Ninghai felt very sad.

After crying, Xiao Wu stood up. The leader of the guards looked at him, with worry hidden in his eyes. However, since everyone was there, the leader didn't say anything. He just looked at him deeply and gave an order: "Protect yourselves. Two people form a team. Don't let go of any grass or tree in Changle Palace. Make sure there are no more poisonous snakes."

The guards shouted in unison: "Yes!" and spontaneously formed teams of two and headed into the bushes of Changle Palace.

Zhou Ninghai waited until all the guards had searched thoroughly to make sure there were no more poisonous snakes, then he went to the Imperial Hospital with them to get pregnancy-preserving medicine for Nian Shilan.

On the way back, everyone was silent for a while. Zhou Ninghai was still a little sad when he thought about the death of the guard just now. But now his wife was pregnant, Zhou Ninghai did not dare to let Nian Shilan know, for fear of disturbing Nian Shilan's fetus again. If the heir to the throne was not safe, he would be guilty.
