The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Before leaving, the emperor looked at Madam Nian and said, "If you have nothing to do today, you should spend more time with Shilan. She just gave birth to a child and misses you very much."

Madam Nian bowed quickly and said, "Your Highness obeys your command."

After the emperor left, Nian Shilan and Madam Nian looked at each other strangely. They wondered what was wrong with the emperor and why he suddenly became so concerned about the Nian family. Was this a sign of a coming storm?

However, Nian Shilan and Madam Nian took into consideration the large number of servants in Qingliang Palace and were worried about the consequences of their words, so they did not say anything. After looking at each other, they began to chat about family matters.

It was not until the evening that Mrs. Nian got up to say goodbye.

After seeing off Madam Nian, Nian Shilan held the fourth princess in her arms, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She hoped that the fourth princess could grow up healthily and happily, and she also hoped that she could be by her side and witness every moment of her growth.

As night fell, Nian Shilan dismissed the nurse and chose to take care of Xiao Yaoguang herself. Nian Shilan gently hummed a lullaby to coax the fourth princess to sleep. Looking at her sweet sleeping face, Nian Shilan's heart was filled with maternal love.

At this time, a palace maid quietly approached and whispered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi sent someone to send a message saying that she wants to come and see you and the fourth princess tomorrow."

Nian Shilan frowned slightly, thinking that if Zhen Huan wanted to come, she could just come directly. Why would she send someone to deliver the message so cautiously? Nian Shilan's thoughts moved slightly, and she realized that Zhen Huan might have received some news again, so she said "um" to indicate that she understood.

On the second day, Nian Shilan stayed in her Qingliang Palace and teased little Yaoguang. The emperor came by once and also teased little Yaoguang for a while. He asked about Nian Shilan's health, and left after lunch.

The night is like water, and a soft full moon hangs in the sky, like a shining silver-gray mirror, casting galaxy-like light, covering the entire courtyard with a layer of quiet and mysterious beauty.

Nian Shilan had the nurse take Xiao Yaoguang away early, and she sent Lingzhi to guard outside the bedroom. Songzhi whispered, "My queen, it's late, go to sleep quickly. Maybe Concubine Xi is tripped and won't come tonight."

Nian Shilan shook her head and said with certainty: "Empress Xi will definitely come tonight, you don't have to worry about me. I slept a lot during the day and I'm not very sleepy now."

Nian Shilan and Songzhi were talking when they suddenly heard knocking on the door, which stopped after three or two short knocks.

Nian Shilan knew that it was Zhen Huan who came, so she told Song Zhi, "Go open the door."

Songzhi hurried forward and opened the door of the bedroom, only to see Zhen Huan, dressed as a palace maid, hurriedly entering the room.

Nian Shilan was a little surprised to see Zhen Huan like this, but she didn't say anything: "You're here?"

After entering the palace, Zhen Huan bowed to Nian Shilan and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen."

Nian Shilan reluctantly asked Zhen Huan to stand up, "It's a certain time now, why are you still concerned about these etiquettes?"

Zhen Huan stuck out her tongue playfully and sat down next to Nian Shilan's couch.

Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan and asked in confusion, "If you want to come, you can come during the day. Why do you come so late at night?"

Zhen Huan smiled gently, "Your Majesty, there are often many people coming and going in the palace. I am afraid that some things may be heard by someone with ulterior motives."

Nian Shilan couldn't help but sigh that Zhen Huan was indeed a thoughtful person, so she asked again, "Is your visit today related to my brother?"

Zhen Huan nodded, "Yes, Liuzhu in my palace is getting close to the maid from the Imperial Hospital. Yesterday, Liuzhu heard from the maid that the emperor asked all the doctors except Doctor Wen to do their best to treat Nian Gengyao. The emperor also ordered that the best medicinal materials be used and that there is no need to worry about the money. After I knew about this, I thought about telling the queen."

Nian Shilan was very surprised to hear Zhen Huan's words and asked, "Are you sure? Liuzhu didn't hear it wrong?"

Zhen Huan shook her head with certainty and said, "I have also tried Doctor Li, and the Emperor did say so."

When Nian Shilan heard what Zhen Huan said, she was confused for a moment. She didn't know why the emperor suddenly told the imperial doctors to cure her brother. Was he afraid that if something happened to her brother this time, the people would criticize her and say that the emperor could not tolerate such a loyal minister?

After thinking for a moment, Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "This is quite strange. The emperor's attitude has changed so much. I'm afraid there must be something fishy."

Zhen Huan nodded and said solemnly, "I am also worried. Perhaps we should be careful to avoid falling into someone else's trap."

Nian Shilan was silent for a while, secretly thinking about the next plan in his mind.

"No matter what, my brother's safety is the most important. Please continue to pay attention to the palace's movements and inform me of any abnormalities in time."

Zhen Huan stood up and replied respectfully, "I will do my best to relieve your worries."

Afterwards, Zhen Huan hurried away and disappeared into the night.

Nian Shilan looked in the direction she left, and the worry in her heart grew heavier.

Nian Shilan decided to go to Doctor Li in person to find out the situation and see if he could find some clues.

The next day, Nian Shilan used the excuse of feeling unwell to invite Doctor Li.

When Doctor Li entered the palace, he bowed and greeted the Queen, saying, "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty."

Nian Shilan waved her hand weakly and said, "No need to be polite, get up quickly."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Li stood up and walked to Nian Shilan's side, carefully examining her pulse.

During the consultation, Nian Shilan pretended to say casually: "Why is your Imperial Hospital so busy these days? I haven't seen you for a long time."

When Doctor Li heard Nian Shilan's question, he answered respectfully, "The Emperor sent us to treat Lord Nian, so we are a little busy."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan asked with concern, "How is my brother now?"

Doctor Li answered truthfully, "Sir Nian is in much better health now, but there are still some toxins in his body that have not been completely eliminated, so we, your humble servants, stay by his side every day." After Doctor Li finished speaking, he emphasized that the emperor was very concerned about Nian Gengyao's health and told them to do their best.

After hearing this, Nian Shilan thanked him and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you imperial doctors to take more care of me."

Doctor Li repeatedly said, "Your Majesty, your words are too kind. This is our duty."

After examining Nian Shilan's pulse, Doctor Li said, "Your Majesty is just a little weak in Qi and blood after giving birth. I will prescribe a postpartum pill for you later. You should take it once a day and you will be fine soon."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

When Doctor Li went down to prescribe medicine for Nian Shilan, Nian Shilan was on the couch, deep in thought. After thinking for a long time, she decided to temporarily relax her protection of Nian Gengyao, and let Nian Xi and Nian Wen secretly keep a close eye on her brother, and if there was any abnormality, let them report to her in time.
