The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The emperor turned to look at Su Peisheng, "From now on, seal off Changle Palace. Tell the public that the queen is pregnant and needs to rest. No one is allowed to enter or leave except the imperial physician and the palace maids who deliver meals."

Su Peisheng stepped back and started to arrange the matter.

The emperor looked at the unconscious Nian Shilan and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that she could survive this disaster safely.

The emperor suddenly thought of Fang Zhongyi, the sorcerer whom Nian Shilan had found in the Summer Palace at Yuanmingyuan, and asked Songzhi, "Is Fang Zhongyi in the palace?"

Songzhi was stunned for a moment when she heard Fang Zhongyi's name. Then she thought of who it was and said quickly, "Your Majesty, Master Fang has been arranged by the Empress to live in the Nian Mansion since he returned to Beijing, and is entertained by Madam Nian."

The emperor hurriedly said, "Su Peisheng, last year the palace reported Fang Zhongyi to the palace, saying that I had something to ask him."

After receiving the order, Su Peisheng ran out of the palace, trying to find Fang Zhongyi as soon as possible and buy a chance to detoxify Nian Shilando.

When Su Peisheng rushed to the Nian Mansion, Mrs. Nian said that Fang Zhongyi had said that there was something going on at home a few days ago. Mrs. Nian had already informed Nian Shilan, and Nian Shilan agreed to let Fang Zhongyi leave.

Su Peisheng felt that something was unusual when he heard this, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully, so he hurried back to the palace to report to the emperor.

When the emperor heard Su Peisheng's reply, he frowned and did not speak. At this time, Yun'er asked with some doubt: "Your Majesty, who is Master Fang? If he knows witchcraft, has he ever met the queen?"

When the emperor heard Yun'er's question, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Songzhi glanced at the emperor, and after seeing that she had the emperor's permission, she told Yun'er about Fang Zhongyi.

When Yun'er heard Songzhi say that Fang Zhongyi had prepared a poisonous insect for Nian Shilan, as well as an antidote, she quickly asked, "Songzhi, do you know where the queen put the poisonous insect?"

Songzhi nodded, "Her Majesty locked the poisonous insect and the antidote in a small box in her bedroom, and it has never been moved."

Yun'er felt that she might have found some useful clues, and hurriedly said, "Take me to have a look. If we can identify the poisonous insect, it will be helpful for me to develop a method to cure it."

When Songzhi heard Yun'er say that it would help to detoxify Nian Shilan, she hurriedly took Yun'er to Nian Shilan's bedroom.

The emperor was about to follow, but Yun'er stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please stay in the main hall. I am not sure what kind of poisonous insect it is. If it damages the dragon's body, I will be guilty of a great sin."

When the emperor heard Yun'er's words, he paused and hesitated. Su Peisheng naturally saw the emperor's concerns, so he volunteered: "If the emperor trusts me, let me accompany the two girls. If something really happens, I can protect the two girls."

The emperor thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, then you go with them, and you all need to be careful."

Upon hearing this, Yun'er, Songzhi, and Su Peisheng said in unison: "Your servants obey your orders."

(Su Peisheng: Oh, the emperor really can’t bear to part with me, hehe, so heartwarming?(^?^*)

Emperor: You think too much. I am worried that something bad might happen to you. I have to train someone who suits my taste. Please help. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍））

The three of them came to Nian Shilan's bedroom, and Yun'er was the first to open the box containing the poisonous insect, but to their surprise, there was nothing inside.

Yun'er asked Xiang Songzhi in surprise, "Are you sure it's this box? Are you sure you remember it correctly?"

Songzhi said with certainty: "I will never be wrong, it is this box."

Yun'er looked at the empty box, her expression turned very bad. Then she thought of something and quickly opened the box with the antidote next to it. This time the box was not like the previous one. There was something inside. Yun'er carefully observed the poisonous insect inside.

"This is...Ice Silkworm Gu!" Yun'er's face became solemn.

Songzhi asked nervously, "Is this poisonous insect very powerful?"

Yun'er nodded. "This kind of poisonous insect is extremely rare. It is not an antidote at all. It is very toxic and can resist ordinary antidotes."

Su Peisheng said anxiously: "What should we do? The Queen is still waiting for the antidote!"

Yun'er pondered for a moment, "I need some time to research a targeted solution. Please don't make it public for now, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Afterwards, Yun'er carefully put away the insect and prepared to take it back to her residence for further research.

After they returned to the main hall, they all looked very bad. Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Yun'er reported everything to the emperor in detail.

The emperor was furious and said, "Su Peisheng, immediately send someone to find Fang Zhongyi and bring him to me. Remember, you must keep him alive!"

At this point, how could the emperor not know that Nian Shilan was being plotted against by someone with ulterior motives? Thinking about how Nian Shilan had done something for him but now ended up like this, the emperor couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable pain in his heart.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then looked at Yun'er and said, "Are you sure about the queen's poison?"

Yun'er thought for a while and decided to be relatively conservative. She looked at the emperor and said, "I am 30% sure."

The emperor was not very satisfied with Yun'er's answer, but there was no better way, so he said: "You must do your best to treat the queen. If you need any medicine, just send Doctor Wen or Songzhi to tell me. If you can cure the queen, I can agree to any request of yours."

After hearing the emperor's promise, Yun'er raised her head and looked directly at him, as if she wanted to see the deepest thoughts in his heart. "Can you ask for anything?"

The emperor nodded without hesitation and said, "Any request is fine."

Yun'er kowtowed with satisfaction and thanked the emperor, saying, "I've made note of this. I will do my best to cure the queen."

In fact, Yun'er already had a guess in her mind at this time. The Queen might not be infected with the Rebirth Gu, but the Ice Silkworm Gu. The Ice Silkworm Gu is extremely rare and is the king of Gu. Its symptoms are more consistent with Nian Shilan's current condition. However, because Yun'er still needs to study it carefully, she did not mention it to the Emperor.

The emperor knew that if he delayed Yun'er for one more second, Nian Shilan might be in danger for one more second, so the emperor waved his hand and asked Yun'er to go down and study a way to detoxify Nian Shilan.

After a while, the emperor's oral order came from the palace, saying that because Nian Shilan was pregnant and not feeling well, she could not pay respects to him in the near future. No one was allowed to set foot in Changle Palace, and the affairs of the palace were temporarily handed over to Concubine Duan and Concubine Xi.
