The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The emperor pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything unusual in the army now?"

Zhang Tingyu thought for a moment, then bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, according to the news, Lord Nian Gengyao has arrived at the border with his subordinates. The soldiers were very excited when they saw Lord Nian Gengyao coming. Now most of the soldiers trust Lord Nian Gengyao more than Xiao Tao, Lord Nian Gengyao's subordinate, and they all ask Lord Nian Gengyao to arrange a battle plan."

When the emperor heard Zhang Tingyu's words, his heart was filled with shock. The emperor had long thought that Nian Gengyao might have a certain weight in the hearts of the soldiers in the army, but he did not expect that even though he had now retired from the army and had no official position, and was involved in the incident of the Nian family burning food and grass, the soldiers would still protect him so much.

The emperor hesitated for a long time, then said to Zhang Tingyu: "Give the order and proceed with the plan as usual."

Zhang Tingyu bowed and then left, leaving the emperor alone in the Qinzheng Hall, thinking carefully, with a conflict in his heart.

On the one hand, he cared too much about the Qing Dynasty and would not allow it to be destroyed in his hands. He was afraid that if Nian Gengyao had the intention of treason in the future, the emperor would not know how to explain to his ancestors.

On the other hand, he really liked Nian Shilan. He didn't know what he should do if he really executed the Nian family. Nian Shilan, who had a clear distinction between love and hate, would not live alone.

At this moment, Su Peisheng hurriedly walked into the palace, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the queen has fainted in Changle Palace."

When the emperor heard Su Peisheng's words, he stood up anxiously, "Go and call the imperial physician! Go to Changle Palace!"

When he arrived at Changle Palace, the emperor saw Wen Shichu taking Nian Shilan's pulse, and the concubines in the palace were standing by.

The emperor looked at the concubines in the harem with some displeasure, "Why are you here!"

The concubines looked at each other, and finally Zhen Huan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we got up early to pay our respects to the Queen, but she suddenly fainted after talking to us for a while."

When the emperor heard what Zhen Huan said, he realized that he was overthinking. They came to pay their respects and saw Shilan fainted, so they naturally stayed in the palace to wait for the result. If anyone left early at this time, it would arouse suspicion.

The emperor looked at them and said, "You all sit down."

Then he turned to look at Wen Shichu, his eyes showing worry, and asked, "Doctor Wen, what happened to the queen?"

After a long while, Wen Shichu looked at the emperor with some hesitation, "Your Majesty, the Empress is pregnant now, and has been pregnant for more than a month."

The emperor was naturally very happy to hear the news, and the concubines in the harem naturally heard it too. No matter what they felt in their hearts, they all looked happy and congratulated: "Your concubine (concubine) congratulates the emperor and the queen."

The emperor was also very happy to hear this and said, "Today, the Empress is happy. I am very pleased. I will reward the Forbidden City with a monthly salary of one month."

Upon hearing this, the concubines and their maids kowtowed and thanked the emperor, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor finally felt relieved, and then he thought of Wen Shichu's hesitation to speak, so he said to the concubines, "All of you go down."

After everyone in the harem said goodbye, the emperor looked at Nian Shilan, who was still sleeping on the couch, and asked, "Why hasn't the queen woken up yet?"

Wen Shichu knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the emperor, and then said: "Please forgive my incompetence, Your Majesty. I just checked the pulse of the queen and found that her pulse was abnormal. I suspect that there is a poisonous insect in her body."

When the emperor heard Wen Shichu's words, he flew into a rage and shouted, "How outrageous!"

When Su Peisheng and Song Zhi in the hall heard that the emperor was angry, they both knelt on the ground and dared not say a word.

The emperor said in disbelief: "You didn't make a mistake? How could the queen be poisoned?"

Wen Shichu said without even raising his head: "I don't know either. I don't have enough knowledge in this area. If Your Majesty can trust me, please let Yun'er come and treat the Empress."

When the emperor heard Wen Shichu mention Yun'er, he thought of the day when Yun'er treated the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, including the subsequent time when the emperor sent imperial doctors to discuss medical skills with Yun'er. The imperial doctors who came back all praised Yun'er for her superb medical skills.

The emperor thought about this and quickly ordered Songzhi, "Go and bring Yun'er to me."

Songzhi followed the order and hurried to Yun'er's residence to find Yun'er. At this time, Yun'er had no idea at all. She was still sitting on the couch, half leaning lazily, flipping through a medical book.

Songzhi stepped forward and said, "Miss Yun'er, please follow me to the main hall. The emperor has summoned you."

Yun'er saw that Songzhi didn't look too good, and was also shocked and asked: "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Songzhi did not hide it from Yun'er. She would know it soon anyway, so she spoke first: "The Queen suddenly fainted just now. Doctor Wen came to check her pulse and suspected that the Queen was poisoned."

As soon as Yun'er heard this, she knew something was wrong. Without caring about anything else, she ran towards the main hall of Changle Palace.

After Yun'er entered the palace, she hurriedly bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor looked anxious at this time. Seeing Yun'er, he said, "Come and show it to the queen."

After hearing the emperor's words, Yun'er stood up and trotted towards Nian Shilan's bed. After calming herself down, she began to take Nian Shilan's pulse seriously.

At this time, everyone in the hall was staring at Yun'er's expression, only to see that Yun'er's complexion became increasingly worse, with her brows furrowed.

After a long while, Yun'er reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the queen has been poisoned by the rebirth Gu."

Yun'er looked at the emperor's frown and continued to explain, "This Gu will be triggered when a woman becomes pregnant. A person infected with the Rebirth Gu will be trapped in the happiest days of their life until their life is completely devoured by the Gu."

"Is there any solution?" the emperor asked anxiously.

Yun'er looked troubled, "This Rebirth Gu is extremely difficult to resolve. I need some time to study it."

The emperor glanced at the unconscious Nian Shilan and continued to ask, "Is the queen in danger of her life at this moment?"

Yun'er shook her head and said, "I have seen this poison in medical books. People who are poisoned by it will not be in danger of death at first, but if they cannot be cured, they will die after 49 days."

The emperor's face turned gloomy. "No matter what method is used, the queen must be cured!"

Yun'er bowed her head and replied, "I obey your command. However, during the treatment, the Queen needs to be in a quiet environment to avoid being stimulated and disturbed."

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan in silence for a while, then nodded and said, "I understand."
