The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Songzhi quickly stood up and tugged at Huanbi's sleeve, and Huanbi also quickly stood up.

After the two stood up, Nian Shilan asked, "What happened?"

Songzhi walked to Nian Shilan's side and gently supported her, "Don't be angry, Madam. I'm fine."

Nian Shilan saw the red and swollen slap marks on Songzhi's face and was furious. "Just say what I told you to say."

Huanbi said quickly, "I wanted to go back to the palace and ask Liuzhu to prepare some snacks that the queen likes. Who would have thought that I would see Yu Yingying as soon as I left the imperial garden. I really didn't bump into Yu Yingying, but Yu Yingying insisted that I bumped into her. When I explained to her, she said that I was committing a crime and asked her maid Lian'er to slap me. Aunt Songzhi came out to look for me, but Yu Yingying also slapped me personally. She punished me and Aunt Songzhi to kneel here."

Nian Shilan was furious when she heard this. Who the hell did Yu Ying'er think she was? She actually dared to hit her personal maid. Normally, Nian Shilan would not bear to touch Song Zhi no matter how angry she was, but she was beaten by such a piece of trash. How could Nian Shilan swallow this?

Zhen Huan was also very uncomfortable when she heard what Huanbi said. No matter how incompetent she was, she was still a concubine who was three ranks higher than her. How could she let her sister slap her? If she swallowed this anger, anyone in the palace would be able to bully her in the future.

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan looked at each other, and seeing that neither of them wanted to give up so easily, they smiled in tacit understanding and said, "Let's go, let's go meet this Yu Da Ying." Nian Shilan was the first to speak sarcastically.

Since Yu Ying'er was appointed as an official lady, she has been living in Zhongcui Palace, and she is the only one living in the palace.

The news that Concubine Hua and Concubine Wan were planning to go to Zhongcui Palace angrily to find Yu to cause trouble spread throughout the harem soon.

Huipin couldn't sit still when she heard this. Huan'er was due to give birth in more than a month. What had happened? Why was she so uncalm? Huipin was so anxious that she suddenly felt a dull pain in her stomach.

"Caiyue, come quickly, my stomach hurts." Huipin called Caiyue hurriedly.

When Caiyue heard this, she quickly supported Huipin, walked to the soft couch, and said softly: "My lady, don't be afraid, don't be nervous, I will call the midwife over right away."

After comforting Huipin, Caiyue hurried to call the midwife. When Nian Shilan knew that Huipin was about to give birth, she arranged a midwife in advance and had her live in a side hall of Xianfu Palace. She also informed Jingfei in advance. This matter was kept low-key, and no one except them knew that the midwife was found by Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan had to pass by Xianfu Palace on their way to Zhongcui Palace. As soon as they reached the door, they saw the palace maids of Xianfu Palace busy and in a hurry.

Zhen Huan quickly grabbed one of the palace maids and asked, "But what happened to Concubine Hui?"

The maid saw that it was Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan, and knew that Wanpin and Huipin had a good relationship. Now that Concubine Hua was in charge of the harem, she hurriedly said, "My lady's water broke, I'm afraid she's about to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan didn't bother to look for that lowly maid Yu Ying'er, and rushed into Xianfu Palace, ordered the palace maids to call the emperor, and began to take charge of the situation.

When Shen Meizhuang heard that Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were coming, she felt much more relaxed, knowing that they would help her look after the midwife and that nothing would happen.

An Lingrong also entered the inner chamber at this time. Zhen Huan was a little surprised when she saw her: "Sister An, how come you came so soon? But everyone in the harem knows about it?"

An Lingrong quickly explained, "Don't panic, Sister Wan. No one in the harem knows about this yet. I heard that you and Concubine Hua were going to cause trouble for Yu Ying, and I was afraid that you two sisters would act rashly, so I wanted to persuade them. But when I walked to the gate of Xianfu Palace, I saw the mess inside. I was afraid that Sister Hui might feel uncomfortable, so I came in."

Nian Shilan nodded in appreciation when she heard An Lingrong's words, "An promised you to be careful. I'll have to trouble you to go in with me before Huipin gives birth to check if there is anything wrong."

When An Lingrong heard what Nian Shilan said, she nodded repeatedly, "I am willing to do things for the queen and the sisters."

Nian Shilan looked at An Lingrong and smiled, then stood up and walked into the inner room. An Lingrong followed Nian Shilan. When Zhen Huan saw this, she hurriedly followed. Nian Shilan didn't care, after all, Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu had always had a deep relationship.

When they entered the inner room, they saw Shen Meizhuang lying limply on the bed, her hair soaked with sweat, her face extremely pale, and she frowned from time to time because of the contractions.

Zhen Huan stepped forward and held Shen Meizhuang's hand, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, sister Mei, we are all here, and the emperor will be here soon. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Shen Meizhuang nodded her head as best she could, but she bit her lips tightly in pain from the next contraction.

Nian Shilan and An Lingrong were also busy, checking the items for the delivery one by one. Suddenly, An Lingrong said, "My queen, put out the incense quickly."

When Nian Shilan heard An Lingrong's words, she subconsciously picked up the teacup beside her and extinguished the incense in the incense burner, and then asked: "Is there anything strange about this incense?"

An Lingrong nodded solemnly, "This fragrance is probably mixed with a lot of musk and safflower. We all know that musk is very harmful to pregnant women, and safflower also has a strong blood circulation and blood stasis effect. If Sister Hui keeps smelling the fragrance of safflower when giving birth, she will easily die of hemorrhage."

After hearing this, the people in the room couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. They had been on high alert but never thought someone would dare to do something like this. Nian Shilan was very angry, "Hui Concubine, you can just focus on giving birth first. This palace will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it."

Shen Meizhuang nodded, but at this moment she was overwhelmed by pain and couldn't care about these things.

"The emperor has arrived." Su Peisheng's voice came from outside the door.

Nian Shilan glanced at Zhen Huan and said, "Princess Wan, please get out. The Emperor must know about this."

Zhen Huan also understood what Nian Shilan meant, and she quickly put on an expression of worry and ran out crying to find the Emperor.

Nian Shilan and An Lingrong searched the house carefully again, but found nothing unusual. Nian Shilan decided to let An Lingrong go out and wait as well. After all, An Lingrong had no experience in childbirth and she was usually timid, so Nian Shilan was afraid of scaring her.

But An Lingrong insisted, "Your Majesty, please let me stay with you. I know a little about spices, and maybe I can help you and Sister Hui."

Seeing An Lingrong's determined expression, Nian Shilan said with a smile: "If you are not afraid, then stay with me."

An Lingrong quickly expressed that she was not afraid, and stood obediently at the door, watching the midwives and palace maids coming in and out, closing her eyes and carefully distinguishing whether there was any fragrance on them.
