The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 12 Jade Step-Shaking
Yinzhen took a quick step forward and hugged Nian Shilan's limp body.

He shouted, "Please call the doctor!"

The maids and servants serving in the main hall all knelt down and lowered their heads, not daring to make the slightest sound.

During these three months, everyone in the house knew that the prince was very fond of this concubine.

Yinzhen picked up Nian Shilan and took her back to her Jinglan Courtyard. Songzhi knelt beside him and exclaimed in surprise: "What is this?"

Yinzhen lowered his head and saw the broken jade hairpin. A small piece of black paste was exposed in the magnolia flower that was split into two halves.

Yinzhen frowned, and Su Peisheng immediately took the silk handkerchief from the maid next to him and carefully picked up the pile of broken things, including the hairpins and cream.

When Nian Shilan woke up, she saw Yinzhen sitting beside her bed, holding her hand and squinting his eyes as if he was asleep.

She gently pulled her hand away and tried to get up, and it was this slight movement that woke Yinzhen up.

At this time, Nian Shilan's face looked pale, and the hairpins on her head had been removed by Songzhi.

Her long black hair spread on the pillow, making her look much more delicate than usual.

"Are you awake? You want something to eat? Let the kitchen make it for you."

Yinzhen was still holding her hand and looked into her eyes when he said this.

Nian Shilan smiled weakly.

"I don't have much appetite. I don't know what happened to me that caused His Majesty to worry and worry."

"The doctor said that you are fine. Maybe your spleen and stomach have been out of balance recently, and your body is a little weak. The doctor has already written a prescription. You should take the medicine and recuperate for a few days. When you are better, I will take you to ride a horse. This spring is so beautiful, we can't waste it."

Yinzhen is a bit doting.

"Really? I haven't ridden a horse for a long time. I need to make a new set of riding clothes."

Nian Shilan was like a spoiled child, with a little gleam in her eyes.

"Su Peisheng, go and tell the sewing room to make two sets of riding clothes."

Su Peisheng immediately took the order and went out.

After Nian Shilan finished drinking the medicine and fell asleep, Yinzhen returned to the study and asked Su Peisheng to call the imperial physician who treated Nian Shilan.

"Reporting to the prince, I have carefully examined the fragments that Eunuch Su brought. Those ointments are indeed strange. They look like drugs that cause mental confusion, but they will not be absorbed by people for no reason. When I took the pulse of Concubine, I found that there were signs that the drug had been used in Concubine's body, but the time of use was too short and it has not caused great harm to Concubine. I will prescribe a prescription for Concubine to remove the toxins."

The imperial physician lowered his head after saying these words. In their line of work, they have seen too many secrets in the harem and are quite accustomed to them. Yinzhen tapped the table with his index finger, thinking about something. He thought to himself that it seemed that his harem should be cleaned up.

He has been busy with military affairs in the past few months and just wanted to see what was going on in the rear house.

"The imperial physician said that this medicine cannot be absorbed by humans out of thin air. Then, according to the imperial physician, how did this medicine enter the concubine's body?"

Yinzhen asked the imperial physician.

The imperial physician thought for a moment and spoke cautiously.

"I have seen the hairpin. The medicine is wrapped in the magnolia flower of the hairpin. However, the hairpin is hollow and has a small hole at the bottom."

"Got it. Just keep it to yourself. Don't mention it to anyone without my permission."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

The imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief.

Nian Shilan listened to Yinzhen's footsteps and left, then she sat up and smiled coldly.

She called Songzhi over and leaned over to whisper a few words.

Nian Shilan recalled in her heart that in her previous life, the hairpin was awarded by Ulanara.

Because she didn't like the style, she never wore it, but unexpectedly she escaped.

In her previous life, when she was about to be banished to the cold palace, a palace maid ran away in a hurry and accidentally fell, and the hairpin fell out of her arms.

Only then did she realize that the ornaments she had forgotten for many years actually contained a secret.

In this life, in the second month after she entered the palace, Ulanara rewarded her with this hairpin, saying that she worked hard in serving the master every day.

She played with the hairpin carefully for a long time before she discovered the small hole at the bottom.

So, she decided to play along and closed her eyes, giving the maid beside her the opportunity to slip the medicine into her tea.

She knew that this time it would not have a big impact on the Ulanara family, but this time was enough.

Don't rush, take your time.
