The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After the fire was completely extinguished, the guard came out within a short time of entering, bowed in front of Su Peisheng, and said in embarrassment: "Eunuch Su, all the records in the warehouse have been destroyed."

Su Peisheng nodded and said, "We understand." Then he returned to the Yangxin Palace.

After Su Peisheng arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he asked his apprentice Xiao Xiazi, "Has the emperor returned to the palace to rest?"

Xiao Xiazi nodded and said, "Yes, Master, the emperor has returned to his bedroom."

After hearing this, Su Peisheng sighed and did not enter the palace to disturb the emperor again.

Unexpectedly, the emperor heard Su Peisheng's voice in the palace, and quietly got off the bed. Seeing Su Peisheng returning dirty, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "I asked you to investigate, how did you become like this? Did you become a thief?"

Su Peisheng looked at the emperor, hesitated for a moment, and just bowed without saying anything. The emperor noticed something was wrong, so he asked Su Peisheng to go to the Qinzheng Hall with him.

Before leaving, Su Peisheng instructed his apprentice Xiao Xiazi, "You come to guard the palace gate for the emperor and don't let anyone get close."

When Xiao Xiazi heard the master's instructions, he followed without hesitation.

The emperor naturally also heard Su Peisheng's words. He frowned and entered the Qinzheng Hall first.

After Su Peisheng entered the palace and closed the door, he walked to the emperor and knelt down, "I have done a bad job, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned and looked at Su Peisheng and said, "What happened? Tell me first."

Su Peisheng recounted to the emperor word for word what happened after he arrived at Shenwu Gate. The more the emperor listened, the tighter his brows frowned. After Su Peisheng finished speaking, the emperor looked at Su Peisheng and said faintly, "Do you suspect that there are spies around me?"

When Su Peisheng heard the emperor's question, he was shocked and said quickly, "I dare not."

After hearing this, the emperor sneered and said with some anger on his face: "You just don't dare to tell the truth, but some people are actually betraying you, ha!"

Su Peisheng was startled by the emperor's anger, but he still knelt on the ground without moving. The emperor looked at Su Peisheng and waved, "Come here."

Su Peisheng knelt and moved towards the emperor. The emperor whispered a few words into Su Peisheng's ear, and then Su Peisheng walked out of the Qinzheng Hall with a look of relief on his face.

When Xiao Xiazi saw his master coming out, the two of them looked at each other. Xiao Xiazi understood the meaning in Su Peisheng's eyes and asked, "Master, what does the emperor want to see you about?"

Su Peisheng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the servants on duty in the Yangxin Palace to hear clearly, "The emperor asked us to investigate the matter of the snake in Changle Palace."

Xiao Xiazi asked quickly: "Then did the master find out the results of the investigation?"

Su Peisheng smiled and knocked on the eunuch hat on Xiao Xiazi's head and said, "Nonsense, don't you see who your master is following to make arrangements? I'm afraid that things are going to change in the harem!"

Xiao Xia Zi nodded and bowed in agreement with Su Peisheng's words. One of the palace maids looked a little flustered and her eyes were evasive. Su Peisheng naturally noticed something was wrong and became worried. He planned to send someone to keep a close eye on her in the next few days.

The next day, when it was time for the morning court session, Su Peisheng cautiously called the emperor to get up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the palace and hadn't opened my mouth yet, I saw the emperor sitting up from the couch and walking out of the bedroom.

Su Peisheng hurriedly took the dragon robe and helped the emperor change his clothes. Su Peisheng saw the dark circles under the emperor's eyes and knew that the emperor probably did not sleep much that night as he was worried about the affairs of Changle Palace.

After the morning court session, the emperor rewarded the guards heavily for last night's performance. Soon, everyone in the harem also knew about the snake that appeared in Changle Palace last night, and there were many different opinions.

Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and others naturally also heard the news. For a moment, they were very worried about Nian Shilan's safety, but when they thought that she was now in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and it was not convenient for them to visit her, they were also extremely anxious.

Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong came to Zhen Huan's Sui Yuxuan tacitly. Seeing this, Zhen Huan also stood up to welcome them into the hall.

When Shen Meizhuang saw Zhen Huan, she said anxiously, "I heard about what happened to the Imperial Concubine this morning. I was a little worried. I couldn't calm down in the palace alone, so I thought about going to see her, but..."

An Lingrong also echoed, "Yes, I am very worried. The Imperial Concubine is pregnant now. What if the fetus is disturbed?"

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong and said gently, "Now I feel the same as you two, but the Imperial Concubine is in the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity to take care of her pregnancy, so it's not appropriate for us to go visit her. But I think that since the Emperor already knows about this, I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine is fine."

Shen Meizhuang said worriedly, "Although that's true, I'm really worried. Have you heard that a guard was bitten accidentally last night and died?"

Zhen Huan was shocked when she heard this and asked, "How could it be?"

An Lingrong also echoed, "Yes, my sister has heard about it too. It is said that the poison takes effect very quickly and even the imperial physician can't do anything about it."

Zhen Huan caught the key word, "imperial physician", and hurriedly ordered Huanbi, "Go and see if Imperial Physician Wen is on duty at the Imperial Hospital today? If he is fine, send him over for me."

After hearing this, Huanbi hurried to the Imperial Hospital. It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Wen Shichu was on duty last night. He had just finished handing over and was about to go home to rest. He ran into Huanbi who came to look for him at the gate of the Imperial Hospital. Wen Shichu said in a gentle voice: "Miss Huanbi, why are you here at the Imperial Hospital? Is your wife not feeling well?"

When Huanbi saw Wen Shichu, she was overjoyed and said breathlessly: "Wen... Doctor Wen... I..."

Wen Shichu looked at Huanbi and said hurriedly, "I'm not in a hurry. Please slow down and talk slowly."

Huanbi paused for a few seconds, took a few deep breaths, and then spoke again: "Doctor Wen, my queen wants to send Doctor Wen to Suiyuxuan."

Wen Shichu nodded and said, "Okay, I will go right away. Miss Huanbi, lead the way."

As Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan waited anxiously, Huanbi finally brought Wen Shichu over. When Zhen Huan saw Doctor Wen, she asked anxiously, "Doctor Wen, do you know what happened to the Imperial Concubine last night?"

Wen Shichu did not rush to answer Zhen Huan's question after entering the palace. He bowed to the ladies first, then said, "Yes, I know."

When Shen Meizhuang heard Wen Shichu say that he knew about Nian Shilan's situation, she asked anxiously, "Then do you know if the Imperial Noble Consort is doing well now?"

Wen Shichu shook his head. Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were all worried when they saw him shaking his head. Then they heard Wen Shichu say, "The Imperial Concubine was frightened last night and her heart was pounding. She is also pregnant and has had a miscarriage. You should not worry too much now and should just focus on taking care of the baby."
