The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After hearing this, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Nian Shilan and her child were not seriously injured.

When Wen Shichu saw that the others did not say anything, he bowed and said, "I will take my leave first."

When Zhen Huan heard Wen Shichu's words, her tone softened as she relaxed, "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Wen."

After Wen Shichu left, Shen Meizhuang suddenly asked, "Huan'er, Lingrong, who do you think is behind this?"

Zhen Huan's mind was also in a mess at this time. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."

An Lingrong had some doubts in her heart at this time, but she didn't say it out loud.

At this time, the empress dowager also knew about the commotion in the palace last night. When she heard that Nian Shilan had moved directly into the emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she became a little restless. However, when she thought of the conversation she had with the emperor a few days ago, she was afraid of angering the emperor.

The Queen Mother stayed in Shoukang Palace and looked at Zhuxi and said, "Zhuxi, do you think the Emperor values ​​the Imperial Concubine so much now?"

Zhu Xi looked at the Queen Mother's face full of worry and displeasure, and then he calmed down and comforted her: "In my opinion, the Emperor may not value the Imperial Concubine. It's just that everyone in the harem knows that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant now. If the Emperor knew that there was a snake in her palace and ignored it, I'm afraid he would be criticized."

The Queen Mother took a moment to calm down, sighed, and said, "Forget it. I'll just wait and see."

Longkodo had many informants, so naturally he heard about Nian Shilan moving into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. After thinking about it, he asked someone to go to the palace to pass the message to his daughter.

Jin Guiren's personal maid was Jinxiu, whom she brought into the palace. She had always been a confidant carefully cultivated by her father Longkodo, and only obeyed Longkodo's orders.

When Jinxiu received the message from Longkodo, she read the note, burned it ashes, and then got up and walked into Jin Guiren's bedroom.

Lady Jin looked at Jinxiu and asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go back and rest?"

Jinxiu bowed to Jin Guiren. Her attitude was not respectful, but she said in a proper manner: "My Lord asked me to ask you a question. Do you want to be the queen?"

When Concubine Jin heard Jinxiu's question, her heart trembled slightly. Empress? Concubine Jin thought of the suave and handsome emperor, and her heart couldn't help but quicken a little.

But then he thought of Nian Shilan and said with some worry: "There is still the Imperial Noble Consort in the palace now, how can I ascend to the throne of empress?"

Jinxiu said impatiently: "My Lord is just asking if you want to!"

When Jin Guiren heard Jin Xiu's somewhat urgent words, she hurriedly responded, "I want to, I want to!"

After hearing this, Jinxiu slowed down her voice and said, "Okay, I will go and report to you immediately. As for your worries, I will eliminate them one by one for you."

After saying this, Jinxiu turned around and left the bedroom, leaving Jin Guiren lying on the couch, looking forward to the future days when she and the emperor would love each other deeply and without suspicion of each other.

The guards of the Yangxin Palace had not received any news of the emperor's reward last night. When everyone thought there was no hope, they suddenly heard the emperor's order.

Su Peisheng came personally to deliver the imperial edict. When Su Peisheng saw that all the guards were present, he stood in front of everyone with the imperial edict and said, "Guards, receive the edict." The guards all knelt down.

Su Peisheng said in a clear voice: "The Emperor has decreed that, in obedience to Heaven, I am grateful to you for saving me yesterday, and I will reward you with 200 taels of silver, 2 dan of rice, and 2 taels of silver for food, a total of 202 taels of silver. I decree this!"

When the guards heard this, they kowtowed in great joy and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you. Long live the emperor."

Seeing that he had completed the task assigned to him by the emperor, Su Peisheng did not linger any longer and turned away.

When Nian Shilan woke up, it was already noon. Nian Shilan called out, "Songzhi!"

As soon as she spoke, she was startled by her own hoarse voice. When Songzhi heard Nian Shilan's voice, she hurried into the hall and said, "Madam, are you awake?"

Nian Shilan reached out and touched her throat. It was very dry at this moment. Songzhi quickly picked up a glass of water from the table beside her and handed it to Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan drank some water to moisten her throat. After her throat felt better, she asked, "Has the emperor gone to court?"

Songzhi nodded, then looked at Nian Shilan with a worried look on her face, and asked with concern: "Madam, are you feeling unwell now?"

When Nian Shilan heard Songzhi's question, she got up from the bed and moved her body slightly. She felt a little tired but had no other discomfort, so she said, "I'm fine."

Seeing this, Songzhi said, "Your Highness has slept for so long, I think she must be hungry. I will ask someone to bring some cakes for you to fill your stomach first."

Nian Shilan didn't understand the meaning of Songzhi's words. She was indeed a little hungry after waking up, so she nodded and asked Songzhi to get some pastries.

After a while, Songzhi brought a few palace maids into the bedroom with plates of exquisite pastries and placed them on the table one by one.

Nian Shilan took a quick look and saw that the table was filled with her favorite snacks, including crystal clear lotus cakes, sweet and delicious jujube paste cakes, delicate and soft red bean paste rolls, and her favorite crab roe cakes, etc. Each one exuded an alluring aroma, making her mouth water.

Songzhi knew Nian Shilan's taste very well, so she specially selected these cakes to serve. She said softly: "My queen, these are the snacks you like to eat on weekdays. I specially asked the kitchen to make some for you to taste."

Nian Shilan nodded slightly to show her approval. Then, she picked up a piece of lotus cake and put it in her mouth, chewing it gently. The crispy crust and sweet filling instantly conquered her taste buds, making her smile with satisfaction.

Songzhi was serving by the side, filling Nian Shilan's cup with water from time to time. After Nian Shilan was full, she signaled Songzhi to take the pastries away.

After Songzhi asked someone to bring the food down, she looked at Nian Shilan and said, "Madam, are you going to do something to relieve your boredom?"

Nian Shilan thought for a moment and said to Songzhi, "Come with me for a walk. I am very bored staying in this Yangxin Palace now."

Songzhi thought for a moment and said, "My queen, please wait a moment. I will get something and will be back soon."

Nian Shilan didn't care and sat on the couch waiting for Songzhi to come back. After about half an incense stick of time, Songzhi came back with a fire basket.

Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi in confusion, pointed at the thing in her hand and asked, "It's almost summer now, why do you take this fire basket?"

Songzhi walked carefully to Nian Shilan and said seriously: "My queen, you will be out later, so it is best to hold this in your hands. I just asked someone to fill it with realgar wine..."
