The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 164 Concubine Hua complains
Xiao Linzi had disappeared long before Nian Shilan came back and the little eunuch came to invite her. Nian Shilan didn't care and took Songzhi and Lidong to the big tent.

When the young eunuch was taking Nian Shilan a few steps away from the big tent, Nian Shilan suddenly asked.

"You just said that it was the Queen who invited me here, so why isn't there even a single guard around this tent? And where are those female relatives you mentioned? There's not even a sound."

The young eunuch paused and looked around quietly. No one was paying attention to this side. He suddenly turned around and reached out to grab Nian Shilan's arm. Songzhi and Lidong immediately protected Nian Shilan and shouted. The eunuch failed to hit her at first and knocked Songzhi and Lidong unconscious in two or three moves.

He thought that he had alarmed someone today and it seemed that he was doomed, so he turned around and tried to run, but he was not prepared for Nian Shilan's loud shout behind him.

"You still want to run away! You wish!"

A soft whip had bound him, and no matter how hard he struggled the whip became tighter and tighter.

Nian Shilan pulled the eunuch hard and threw him to the ground. The guards who came rushing over after hearing the noise stepped on him and stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue out of fear of the crime. Only then did Nian Shilan put away the whip.

"Your subordinates and other guards are late, please forgive me, Madam Huafei!"

The leading guard, Dalek, had a very heroic look on his face, and he was the first to hear the exclamation.

This tent was actually a reserve tent, not a place where the Queen Mother entertained her female relatives. When their team of guards were patrolling here, Daleker had good hearing and heard voices, so he came over.

Nian Shilan clapped her hands, patted her clothes, looked at the two maids on the ground, and sighed.

"Go and ask the imperial physician to come over first and check on their conditions. Remember to ask for Imperial Physician Wen."

Dalek sent for the imperial physician, and then stepped on the young eunuch on the ground and asked.

"Please tell me, Madam Concubine Hua, how should we deal with this person?"

The eunuch looked extremely embarrassed at this time, but he stared at Nian Shilan fiercely. His face was still handsome, but what was strange was that there was a faint blue stubble on his face.

"After reporting to the Emperor, I will personally interrogate him."

Nian Shilan watched Wen Xianqing hurriedly come over with the medicine box, and then checked the injuries of Song Zhi and Li Dong, waiting for Wen Xianqing to give them acupuncture to wake them up.

"Okay, you two don't need to follow me anymore, go back and rest first."

Songzhi and Lidong were still a little dizzy, but they kept shaking their heads and said in unison.

"We failed to protect you, my lady. We are guilty! Please let us follow you!"

Nian Shilan thought about it and didn't insist. If she asked them to go back, they would not be able to rest in peace, so she took them with her, and the guards tied up the little eunuch and sent him to see the emperor.

Su Peisheng saw Nian Shilan and his men coming over from afar, and hurriedly went to greet them with a smile.

"Good luck to the Empress Hua."

Nian Shilan glanced at Su Peisheng and sneered.

"This is not auspicious for me. Go and tell the emperor that I have something to ask for your attention."

Su Peisheng was totally confused as to who had offended this young lady.

When he leaned forward again, he saw a man in eunuch's clothes being escorted by the guards behind Nian Shilan. Judging from the situation, someone really had offended Concubine Hua.

Su Peisheng hurried into the tent to report.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is outside the tent asking for an audience."

Yinzhen looked at the ministers in the tent. They were very tactful and immediately stood up and left.

"What's the matter with Concubine Hua coming here right now?" Su Peisheng didn't know either, so he had to tell the truth.

"I don't know either. I just saw that Concubine Hua was furious and had a young eunuch with her. I guess I didn't serve her well enough."

Yinzhen shook his head.

"Go ahead. Are you begging me to punish you?"

Nian Shilan went into the tent herself and left everyone else outside.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and at peace."

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan. Her hair bun seemed a little loose and fell at an angle. Her face was full of anger.

"Get up. Why are you so angry? I heard from Su Peisheng that you detained a young eunuch, but I didn't serve him wholeheartedly."

Before Nian Shilan came, she deliberately acted indignant. After all, she was only eighteen years old. If she encountered something, she would be panicked and angry. Being too mature and steady was not her usual style.

"I don't know how I offended the Queen, and she sent someone to take my life!"

Nian Shilan's words were like a bolt from the blue, scaring Su Peisheng so much that he trembled all over, his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

My goodness, everything was fine, but the Queen sent people to kill Concubine Hua?

Su Peisheng was in a state of confusion, and Yinzhen was also puzzled. He suddenly stood up from his sitting position, and then sat back down slowly as if he had thought of something.

"The Queen sent someone? Is there some misunderstanding? Su Peisheng! Go and ask the Queen to come over!"

Su Peisheng immediately lifted the tent curtain and rushed out, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he walked quickly.

The guards outside received the order, and Dalek came in carrying the young eunuch.

Yinzhen looked at the eunuch in front of him, and then looked at Nian Shilan in confusion. Only then did Nian Shilan remember to salute Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was so angry just now that I didn't tell you the specific reason. I was riding back to the tent today, and this servant came to ask me, saying that the Queen had summoned me. I followed him to the big tent, but the more I walked, the more I strayed. I was confused and asked him. Who knew that this dog servant would grab me and push me into the tent! Fortunately, my maids tried their best to protect me! Your Majesty, look, the marks on their necks are all from being knocked unconscious by this dog servant!"

As she spoke, the usually cold and arrogant Nian Shilan burst into tears. Ulanara, who came hurriedly, was confused when she saw Nian Shilan crying. When she heard "it was said that the Queen summoned her", she was already angry and frightened, but she tried her best to restrain herself.

"I have seen the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."

Ulanara saluted Yinzhen, who looked at her and pointed at the young eunuch on the ground.

"The Queen has arrived just in time. Do you know this servant on the ground?"

Ulanara looked carefully and found that there was no such face in her mind, so she said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen this servant before. I wonder where this servant works for?"

Nian Shilan stopped crying, took the handkerchief handed to her by Songzhi, wiped her tears, and then said with red eyes.

"The Queen has such a cruel heart! I have always been diligent and devoted to you. I don't know how I have offended you that you want to kill me!"

Ulanara was so angry at this that she laughed. She heard Su Peisheng say that the emperor invited her, so she hurried over and saw Nian Shilan crying there. Before she could figure out what was going on, Nian Shilan accused her of plotting against her. She was really like Dou E.

"Hua Fei, I don't know when you developed this ability to spit blood and slander others. Who knows where you found this eunuch to frame me."

Yinzhen stared at the eunuch on the ground with a gloomy face. He also noticed something unusual about the eunuch. He actually had stubble.
