The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, the Seventh Prince walked up to the Fifth Prince, took the Fifth Prince's hand and asked, "Fifth Brother, are you okay? I just heard from the palace that Empress Hua was injured. I was so worried that you were injured too."

When the Fifth Prince heard the Seventh Prince's concern for him, a rare shy look appeared on his face. He looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Seeing the deep affection between the Fifth and Seventh Princes in the palace, and thinking of the advice given to him by his master, Xiao Xiazi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "My two princes, if you have nothing to do, I will take you to the Imperial Garden. I heard that the flowers in the Imperial Garden are very beautiful now, and there are swings."

The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince were also interested when they heard Xiao Xia Zi's words, but they still turned around and looked at Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan.

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan naturally saw the desire in the eyes of the Fifth and Seventh Princes, so they nodded and told Xiao Xiazi together, "Then I'll trouble you."

Xiao Xiazi waved her hands repeatedly and said, "My majesties, please forgive me. My majesties, please rest assured that I will protect the two princes."

Seeing that their mothers had agreed, the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince excitedly followed Xiao Xia Zi to the Imperial Garden.

Xiao Xia Zi led the two little princes to the Imperial Garden. The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince were attracted by the beautiful scenery in the garden and ran around excitedly.

They saw the blooming flowers, colorful and fragrant. The Fifth Prince couldn't help picking one and handed it to the Seventh Prince, who happily took it and smelled it.

They were full of curiosity about everything in the Imperial Garden. Because of their young age, their mother seldom brought them to the Imperial Garden for fun in the past, but now they were running around happily.

At the corner, the fifth and seventh princes found a swing and rushed to sit on it and swing. Laughter echoed in the garden.

Xiao Xia Zi stood aside, watching them play with a smile, secretly sighing in her heart that the innocence of these two children was so endearing.

Just as they were having fun, an ice-blue butterfly flew by, attracting the attention of the Seventh Prince. He jumped off the swing and ran after the butterfly.

The Fifth Prince saw this and followed suit. The butterfly circled around the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, who were also very happy to see it. They shuttled among the flowers, laughing and talking.

After a while, the butterfly suddenly fell to the ground and died. Seeing this, the Fifth and Seventh Princes cried unconsciously. Xiao Xiazi hurriedly comforted the two young masters. After a long time, the two young masters finally stopped crying. They stood aside with a lack of interest, lowered their heads and sniffed, and stopped talking. They were no longer as excited as before.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xia Zi quickly called a few palace maids from the Imperial Garden and played hide-and-seek with the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, hoping to bring the two young masters out of their recent sadness.

In the Yikun Palace, after Xiao Xia Zi took the two princes away, Nian Shilan sent everyone in the palace out, leaving only Song Zhi and Liu Zhu to serve Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan took a sip of tea, then looked at Nian Shilan and asked, "I heard in the palace that the Imperial Concubine was injured. What happened?"

Nian Shilan was a little angry when she mentioned this matter. "It was Longkodo and the Queen Mother who were planning a rebellion, and arranged some assassins to break into the Yikun Palace, trying to use me to force the Emperor to abdicate."

Zhen Huan was very surprised to hear Nian Shilan's answer, "What? The Queen Mother was with Longkodo? So you are not injured?"

Because Nian Shilan was sitting sideways in front of Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan did not see the wound on Nian Shilan's neck.

Nian Shilan slowly turned around. Zhen Huan was shocked when she saw the gauze bandaged around her neck. "Is it that serious?"

Nian Shilan sighed and said, "It's okay, the wound is just a little deep, and it didn't hurt any vital parts."

Zhen Huan looked at Nian Shilan's abdomen and asked with concern, "Is Long Si all right?"

When Nian Shilan heard Zhen Huan's question, she was quite relieved and reached out her hand to gently pat her round belly and said, "This little guy is really strong and nothing will happen to him."

Zhen Huan nodded, but still a little worried, "Then let the imperial physician check your pulse. Don't be careless. You are in your advanced stage now, so you must be more careful."

Nian Shilan nodded, and then said sarcastically: "Your Majesty is such a good emperor."

When Zhen Huan heard what Nian Shilan said, she looked at her in confusion, then thought of something and said incredulously, "Could it be that the emperor knew it long ago?"

Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan and nodded, confirming her guess, and then said, "If I die, the Nian family will definitely not let Longkodo off. If I am not in danger of death, and the news of my injury spreads, given my brother's love for me, I'm afraid he won't let it go easily."

When Zhen Huan heard what Nian Shilan said, she gasped. She could never have imagined that the emperor, who doted on Nian Shilan in his previous life, would actually plot against Nian Shilan and the Nian family when she was pregnant.

Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan's surprised expression and said with a slightly mocking tone, "You may have forgotten that he is the emperor, and the emperor's family is the most ruthless."

Zhen Huan was still a little dazed after hearing what Nian Shilan said, but thinking about what Nian Shilan had just said, combined with the news that Nian Shilan was injured in the palace today, she still asked tentatively: "Why don't I write a letter to my father, saying that the queen is fine? So that Lord Nian doesn't have to worry and don't act rashly?"

Nian Shilan originally wanted to ask the secret guard to pass the message on her behalf, but for some reason, Nian Xi has not returned since leaving the palace. She also didn't know if he was tripped up by something. Now that Zhen Huan was willing to let her father pass the message to her brother, Nian Shilan also trusted him, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you and Master Zhen."

Zhen Huan rolled her eyes at Nian Shilan and said, "Why should we be so distant with each other?"

Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan and scolded her with a smile: "Now you are getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to roll your eyes at me."

Zhen Huan giggled and then asked, "So how did the Emperor deal with Longkodo and the Queen Mother now?"

Nian Shilan said in a sad tone: "The Queen Mother was locked up in the torture chamber by the Emperor, and Longkodo was killed by the Queen Mother herself."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Did the Queen Mother kill Longkodo herself?"

Nian Shilan sneered and said, "In the face of life, what does love mean? The past between them is much more exciting than we imagined."
