The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When the emperor heard this, he became extremely anxious. His expression changed drastically. He quickly stood up and said anxiously, "I'll go and take a look. If anything happens to the imperial concubine, you'd better watch out for your heads."

An Lingrong also stood up immediately, followed the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I am also worried about the Royal Concubine, and I want to go and see her together."

The emperor turned around and looked at An Lingrong with eyes full of worry, nodded, and then the emperor walked out first.

After getting the emperor's permission, An Lingrong hurriedly followed.

When the emperor and An Lingrong arrived at Qingliang Palace one after another, Doctor Wen and Yun'er were already waiting in the palace.

The emperor hurriedly asked, "How is the Imperial Concubine?"

Doctor Wen and Yun'er exchanged a glance, then he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thanks to Yun'er's timely acupuncture, the Imperial Concubine's fetus has been saved. She needs to stay in bed for the next half month, otherwise there will be a risk of premature birth."

After hearing this, the emperor felt a little relieved and looked at Yun'er with appreciation, "You did a great job!"

Hearing the emperor's praise, Yun'er knelt on the ground and said, "I dare not take credit for it. This is what I should do."

The emperor looked at Yun'er and continued, "Since the Imperial Concubine has decided to recognize you as her adopted sister, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me anymore."

When Yun'er heard the emperor say this, she knew that this matter was almost certain to happen, so she said in a crisp voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Imperial Concubine Sister."

The emperor nodded. An Lingrong could no longer hold back and asked anxiously, "Doctor Wen, how could the Imperial Concubine suddenly show signs of premature birth when she was fine?"

When the emperor heard An Lingrong's question, he remembered the problem he had just neglected, and his eyes were fixed on Wen Shichu.

Doctor Wen glanced at the emperor and said, "I just checked the pulse of the Imperial Concubine and found that her pulse was unstable. I suspect that the Imperial Concubine may have taken something inappropriate, which may have caused the signs of premature birth."

The emperor was furious when he heard this. He looked at Songzhi and said sternly, "How do you do things? Didn't I tell you to be careful about the Imperial Concubine's food?"

When Songzhi heard the emperor's accusation, she burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I was really careful... I don't know what happened!"

When the Emperor heard Songzhi's answer, he was so angry that he wanted to punish her, but An Lingrong persuaded him from behind, "Your Majesty, Songzhi is the Imperial Concubine's maid after all, so her status is naturally extraordinary. If Your Majesty punishes Songzhi now, I'm afraid others will think that Your Majesty is angry with the Imperial Concubine. And Songzhi has served the Imperial Concubine for so many years, so why not give her another chance and let her take good care of the Imperial Concubine to make up for her mistakes. When the Imperial Concubine wakes up, she can do whatever she wants to Songzhi."

When Songzhi heard An Lingrong speak for her, her heart warmed and she had a better impression of An Lingrong. The emperor thought that what An Lingrong said made sense, so he said in a cold voice: "If you cause harm to the Imperial Concubine again, you will lose your life."

When Songzhi heard that the emperor had let her go, she kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Concubine Rong."

At this time, An Lingrong asked again, "Is there any leftover from the meal that the Imperial Concubine ate today?"

Songzhi nodded and hurried to the small kitchen to bring over plates of pastries.

The emperor took a look at the food on the table and ordered, "Doctor Wen, check if there is anything strange about these cakes."

Wen Shichu picked up the snacks on the table and checked them one by one. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty, these cakes are mixed with almonds, hawthorns and safflower. These are sharp weapons that hurt the fetus and cause premature birth. Fortunately, the amount used was not much, and Yun'er's acupuncture was timely, so the heir was saved from premature birth."

The emperor was very angry when he heard this, "How dare you assassinate the Imperial Concubine!" The emperor slammed the table and stood up.

"Investigate! Investigate for me! Who is so bold!" The emperor was furious, and the palace servants below were all trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." An Lingrong advised softly, "The most urgent thing is to ensure the safety of the Imperial Concubine. Why not seal up these foods first and make a decision after the Imperial Concubine wakes up."

"Alright." The emperor gradually calmed down. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Songzhi, you must be careful and cautious when serving the imperial concubine in the future. If you make any mistakes again, I will never forgive you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Songzhi kowtowed repeatedly.

Everyone was worried in front of the Imperial Concubine's bed.

The emperor sat on a chair beside him, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing worry. He looked at Nian Shilan on the bed from time to time, hoping that she would wake up as soon as possible.

An Lingrong stood quietly by the side, her eyes also fell on Nian Shilan, with a look of concern on her face. The servants of Qingliang Palace knelt quietly on the ground, they lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the emperor and An Lingrong.

The entire Qingliang Palace was filled with a tense and heavy atmosphere, and time seemed to have frozen. Everyone's heart was filled with worry for Nian Shilan, hoping that she would wake up safely.

Suddenly, Nian Shilan's fingers moved slightly, and the emperor and An Lingrong immediately came forward and looked at her anxiously. Then, Nian Shilan's eyes slowly opened, and she looked at the people around her, her eyes full of confusion and doubt.

The emperor felt relieved when he saw this. He asked softly, "Shilan, do you feel better?"

Nian Shilan nodded weakly, and the emperor quickly ordered Wen Shichu to take Nian Shilan's pulse to see how she was doing.

Nian Shilan just lay there, letting Wen Shichu check her pulse. After a long while, Wen Shichu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is a little weak now, but the heir is safe and sound."

When the emperor heard Wen Shichu's words, the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down. He looked at Nian Shilan and said, "My beloved, don't worry. Our child is fine."

Nian Shilan took a break and gradually regained consciousness. She cursed Li Changzai's stupidity in her heart, causing her to increase the dosage. However, she said with a bit of grievance, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. It's all my fault for being greedy. I almost killed your child."

When the emperor saw what Nian Shilan said, he coaxed her gently, "Shilan, don't say that. The person behind the scenes is vicious."

When Nian Shilan heard what the emperor said, she looked up at him in surprise and said with a tone of deep surprise: "What? Someone is trying to harm me? Isn't it because I am greedy and have food accumulation?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "Imperial Doctor Wen just checked the cakes you used today and found almonds, hawthorns, and safflower in them, which are harmful to the fetus."
