The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 240: Pills turn into sachets?

"Does she want to use witchcraft to harm the emperor?" Nian Shilan said in a low voice.

Zhen Huan frowned, "We must stop her!"

Just as they were about to step forward to question them, the Western Region woman suddenly turned around and discovered them. She was not at all flustered, but just stood there and looked at Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan.

Nian Shilan walked out first, looked at the Western Region woman and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

A sly look flashed across the eyes of the Western Regions woman, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly: "I am planting blessings for the emperor, hoping that he will be healthy and live a long life."

Nian Shilan obviously didn't believe it and said coldly: "Do you think we are three-year-old children? Tell the truth!"

The Western Region woman looked at Nian Shilan calmly and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I dare not deceive your Majesty no matter what."

Nian Shilan looked at the Western Region woman with burning eyes and did not speak for a while. Zhen Huan said from the side: "If it is really as you said, then I think you will not mind me digging out the things you put in there just now to find out what they are, right?"

The Western Region woman looked at Zhen Huan calmly and said, "Your Majesty the Queen and Your Majesty Xi, please do as you wish."

After seeing this, Zhen Huan exchanged a glance with Nian Shilan, and then ordered Liu Zhu who was standing beside her, "Liu Zhu, find the things for me."

After receiving the order, Liuzhu squatted on the ground and began to dig the place where the Western woman had hidden something. After a long time, he actually dug out a sachet from there.

Liuzhu handed the sachet to Zhen Huan somewhat at a loss. Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan were also shocked, because what they saw just now was clearly a black pill!

After Nian Shilan took the sachet, he told Liuzhu, "Keep digging."

Liuzhu's movements quickened, but after digging for a long time, he found nothing else.

Nian Shilan turned around and looked at the Western woman. She had a calm expression on her face, but Nian Shilan still detected a flash of smile in her eyes.

Nian Shilan did not point it out, but just looked at the sachet in her hand thoughtfully.

Zhen Huan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, your body is as precious as gold. Why don't you let me take a look at what's inside the sachet?"

Before Nian Shilan could say anything to stop her, Songzhi, who was following behind her, suddenly snatched the sachet from her hand, walked aside, bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Queen. You and Concubine Xi are both masters, and you must not joke about your body. I'm fine. I'll open it."

Nian Shilan's expression changed drastically. Just as she was about to speak to stop him, Songzhi opened the sachet and saw a piece of letter inside, which read "May the emperor be healthy and live a long and happy life."

No one noticed that the moment the letter was opened, a very small insect quietly hid in Songzhi's sleeve.

Songzhi waited for a while holding the letter, and when she felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, she walked towards Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan.

When she was one step away from Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan, Song Zhi stopped and spread the letter in front of Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan, making sure that they could see the contents of the letter clearly without having to touch the letter directly to avoid any danger.

After Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan saw the contents of the letter, they were both confused.

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan looked at each other, and Nian Shilan asked, "You just want to pray for the emperor? You have no other plans?"

The Western Region woman smiled and said, "Didn't the Empress and Concubine Xi already send someone to check it out?"

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were choked by the words of the woman from the Western Regions. After a long while, Nian Shilan said, "If that's the case, then it was I who misunderstood you."

The woman from the Western Regions was still calm and composed, with an expression that showed no emotion. She said, "I dare not. If there is nothing else, I would like to leave first."

Nian Shilan nodded and let the Western Region woman leave. Nian Shilan then looked at Zhen Huan and said, "If you have nothing to do, come to my Qingliang Palace and sit down."

Zhen Huan nodded, and Nian Shilan saw this and turned around with Songzhi and walked towards Qingliang Palace. Zhen Huan followed behind Nian Shilan, thinking about something along the way. She always felt that things were not that simple, but there was no solid evidence at the moment, so she could only hold back for the time being.

After returning to Qingliang Palace, Nian Shilan immediately sent someone to secretly investigate the origins of the Western Region woman. At the same time, she also ordered Lingzhi to summon Yun'er.

It’s not that Nian Shilan doesn’t believe Wen Shichu, but Yun’er knows some things better than Wen Shichu. Yun’er has read many types of medical books, and Nian Shilan learned about witchcraft from Yun’er’s medical books.

Since Yun'er had been living in Qingliang Palace, Lingzhi soon brought Yun'er here.

After Yun'er entered the palace, she saw Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan sitting there. She bowed politely and said, "Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Concubine Xi."

Nian Shilan looked at Yun'er with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, and said, "No need to be polite. I asked you to come here because I want you to see something."

Hearing this, Yun'er looked up at Nian Shilan and asked, "Did my elder sister encounter any difficulties?"

Nian Shilan glanced at Songzhi, who understood and handed the sachet and letter to Yuner. Nian Shilan said calmly, "Come and see if there is anything strange about this."

Yun'er carefully checked the sachet in her hand and found nothing unusual. So she said honestly, "To answer your question, there is nothing wrong with this sachet."

Nian Shilan was even more confused after hearing this result. Zhen Huan couldn't help but ask, "Did you look carefully?"

Yun'er nodded, and Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan frowned even more.

Seeing this, Yun'er asked, "I wonder if my elder sister is in trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan told Yun'er what had just happened in the small garden. Yun'er heard Nian Shilan say that what she saw was clearly a black pill, but when she dug it out it turned out to be a sachet.

Yun'er was also very surprised, but because she had only seen Gu in medical books and had never really understood it, she only said hesitantly: "But the distance is a bit far, elder sister and Concubine Xi, are you seeing it wrong?"

Nian Shilan shook her head, "I saw it clearly, I am definitely not wrong." She turned to look at Zhen Huan, who echoed, "I saw it clearly too."

Yun'er lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Perhaps, we can find someone who is proficient in Gu magic to take a look."

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan looked at each other and felt that this was the only way at the moment.

Therefore, Nian Shilan immediately ordered to find someone who was proficient in witchcraft, and also sent more people to protect the emperor's safety.

Zhen Huan looked at Nian Shilan and said with some concern: "I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. I am worried that this matter is directed at you and me."
