The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Zhen Huan nodded thoughtfully. She understood that the struggles in the palace were far more complicated than what appeared on the surface. Nian Shilan stroked her belly and said with emotion: "No matter what, I just hope that this child can be born safely."

Zhen Huan looked at Nian Shilan and said firmly, "I definitely will."

At this time, Xiao Xiazi entered the main hall after being informed, looked at Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan and said, "Your servant reports to Her Majesty the Imperial Consort and Her Majesty the Consort Xi that the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince have returned from the Imperial Garden. The two princes are a little tired and have fallen asleep in the Fifth Prince's bedroom."

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan smiled at each other when they heard what Xiao Xiazi said. Zhen Huan shook her head and said, "Seventh Prince has always been like a naughty monkey. Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Xia."

Xiao Xiazi waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Both of you are very well-behaved and sensible."

When Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan saw Xiao Xia Zi coming back, they stopped talking and decided to go see the children together.

Walking into the bedroom, the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince were sleeping soundly on the Fifth Prince's couch. Nian Shilan looked at their lovely appearance, her heart full of maternal love. She whispered to Zhen Huan: "Seeing them, I feel that everything is worth it."

Zhen Huan was also moved and said, "Yes, children are our hope." The two of them accompanied the children quietly without saying anything, enjoying this moment of tranquility together.

It was getting dark, and the Fifth and Seventh Princes had not yet woken up. Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan and whispered, "It seems that these two little naughty monkeys are tired from playing. Why don't you have dinner with me first and go back after the Seventh Prince has had enough sleep."

Zhen Huan had always lived alone in Sui Yu Xuan, so there was no rule that she had to eat with the queen, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I will bother the royal concubine, and it's a good opportunity to taste the cooking of the Yikun Palace's small kitchen."

After hearing Zhen Huan's answer, Nian Shilan stood up and walked towards the main hall. Zhen Huan followed closely behind her and walked out of the Fifth Prince's bedroom. Nian Shilan looked at Song Zhi and said, "Go and tell the small kitchen to prepare more dishes. Concubine Xi will dine with me."

When Songzhi heard what Nian Shilan said, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have just informed the kitchen. It won't be long before you and Concubine Xi can have your meal."

When Nian Shilan heard Songzhi's words, she nodded in a good mood.

Not long after entering the main hall, servants from the small kitchen of Yikun Palace came with plates of exquisite food. There were bird's nest chicken soup, abalone stewed with pearlweed, mushroom stewed chicken, fish maw stewed ham, lotus egg, chicken and bamboo shoot porridge, etc.

Zhen Huan looked at the dishes on the table and said to Nian Shilan with a smile, "They look so delicious. I feel hungry just by looking at them."

Nian Shilan beckoned Zhen Huan to sit down, "Try it quickly and see if it suits your taste."

Because the two of them were already very familiar with each other and the emperor was not around, they did not adhere to the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. They ate and chatted at the same time, and for a while the palace was filled with laughter.

Zhen Huan was deeply in love and could not help but sigh: "Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. I have always been walking on thin ice in this palace. The struggles and calculations in the harem are too sinister. I often look at the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess, and my heart will be warmer. They are my only spiritual support."

Nian Shilan nodded in agreement, "Yes, their innocence is the most precious thing in this harem. They are a light in our lives. Every time I see them, my heart is warm."

After the meal, Zhen Huan chatted with Nian Shilan for a while until the Seventh Prince woke up. Zhen Huan said goodbye to Nian Shilan and took the Seventh Prince back to Suiyuxuan. On the way, the Seventh Prince fell asleep again in Zhen Huan's arms. Zhen Huan thought that the Seventh Prince was tired from playing, and didn't think much about it. She hugged him gently, feeling the warmth brought to her by the little man in her arms. Zhen Huan thought that no matter how complicated the palace life was, the innocence of children could always bring her strength and hope.

After returning to Suiyuxuan, Zhen Huan put the Seventh Prince on the bed and prepared to cover him with a quilt. However, when she lifted the quilt, she unexpectedly found some dense red rashes on the Seventh Prince's arms. Zhen Huan panicked and quickly called Liuzhu and Huanbi.

Liuzhu and Huanbi heard Zhen Huan's anxious voice and hurried into the palace, asking, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Zhen Huan's voice was trembling as she said, "Come with me and help the Seventh Prince up and take off his clothes. I suspect that there is something wrong with his health."

When Liuzhu and Huanbi heard Zhen Huan's words, alarm bells rang in their hearts. They quickly helped the Seventh Prince up. Huanbi sat on the couch and let the Seventh Prince lean on her.

After taking off the clothes of the Seventh Prince, he was not awakened by the actions of the three people and was still sleeping soundly.

Zhen Huan looked carefully at the body of the Seventh Prince. From his neck to his ankles, densely packed red rashes were scattered around, like a bunch of gorgeous flowers.

Zhen Huan, Liu Zhu and Huan Bi were all shocked when they saw this. Zhen Huan managed to calm down and said, "Huan Bi, go and call Xiao Yun Zi and ask him to go to the Imperial Hospital to summon the imperial physician. Liu Zhu, go to the Yikun Palace to find the Imperial Concubine and ask her to check if there is anything wrong with the Fifth Prince."

When Liuzhu and Huanbi heard Zhen Huan's instructions, they did not dare to delay and hurriedly went down to do as Zhen Huan ordered.

Zhen Huan had been holding the Seventh Prince, thinking carefully about everything that had happened today, trying to find clues from it, but Zhen Huan didn't think of anything unusual.

Zhen Huan shed tears helplessly. The open and secret struggles in the harem never disappeared because of Yixiu's downfall, but became even worse. Zhen Huan couldn't help but wonder whether her decision to give birth to the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess was right or wrong.

When Xiao Yunzi arrived at the Imperial Hospital and saw Doctor Wen, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Doctor Wen, my queen wants you to go to Suiyuxuan to see the Seventh Prince."

When Wen Shichu heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was Xiao Yunzi, so he quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Xiao Yunzi had heard Huanbi's story about the Seventh Prince's condition and was a little anxious. "Please ask Imperial Doctor Wen to hurry up. The Seventh Prince's condition is a little tricky."

When Wen Shichu heard this, he quickly picked up his medicine box and hurriedly followed Xiao Yunzi to Suiyuxuan.

Doctor Wen entered Suiyuxuan and followed Xiao Yunzi's lead as he walked towards the Seventh Prince's bedroom.

Doctor Wen entered the palace and bowed to Zhen Huan, saying, "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty, Concubine Xi."

Zhen Huan raised her head with tears in her eyes, and seeing Wen Shichu, she quickly said, "Excuse me, Doctor Wen, please take a look at what's wrong with the Seventh Prince?"

Wen Shichu walked forward and was shocked when he saw the red rash on the Seventh Prince's body.
