The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 226 Concubine Hua is about to give birth
Empress Dowager De drank the medicine, and Ulanara helped her rinse her mouth before she spoke casually.

"I have asked the imperial physician, and he said that mother's health is improving. Mother just needs to continue taking the medicine and taking good care of herself."

Empress Dowager De smiled weakly and spoke slowly.

"I know my body condition. I'm afraid it won't get better."

Ulanara said.

"Mother, why do you have to say such depressing words? It makes me feel uncomfortable.

If the emperor knew about this, he would be even more upset. "

Queen Mother De sneered.

"The emperor and I have never been close, and he has always resented me for sending him to be raised by the Tonggiya clan.

But the emperor didn’t know that I had my own reasons back then.

Now look, the emperor comes to see me occasionally, but does he come to see me on a regular basis?"

Ulanara remained silent, and Empress Dowager De continued.

"I know you came here today because you have something to say.

It is better to speak quickly, I am exhausted. "

Ulanara pondered and thought for a while.

"Mother, you are wise. I came here today to ask you something.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, his mother was worried that the emperor's family was too powerful and that he would raise a tiger to harm him.

I wonder how my mother views this matter now?"

Empress Dowager De has been lying in bed these days and has figured out some things. Now, Ulanara wants to use her to take action against Nian Shilan's fetus.

How could the Duan family be missing? Did Ulanara really think that the Empress Dowager De in the deep palace at that time didn't know about it?

"How can I see this? I am afraid I don't have much time left, so how can I care about others?

But there is one thing. I heard that Nian Gengyao was a very well-behaved person and the Nian family had not experienced the situation that I was worried about.

As for Concubine Hua, although she never admits defeat, she is actually very honest in her daily life.

In the past, because of my suspicion, I did some things that were a little too much."

Ulanara's heart sank. From what Empress Dowager De said, it seemed that she was not allowed to take any action.

Since Nian Shilan was pregnant, the number of guards at Yikun Palace had doubled, and the palace was guarded like an iron barrel on a daily basis.

The Ulanara family had also tried to place people there, but Nian Shilan always had various reasons to refuse.

When Nian Shilan was three months pregnant, Ulanara gave her the little maid Fuzi in her palace. That was the only time Nian Shilan did not have time to refuse.

However, it was heard that Fuzi had only been in Yiku Palace for a few days when Nian Shilan sent her to a concubine on the grounds that she "did not serve her master well enough", and she was forced to do dirty work such as emptying the toilet.

Everyone in the palace knew that the palace maid given by the Queen to Concubine Hua was sent away by Concubine Hua. Wasn't this a slap in the Queen's face?

Fortunately, Ulanara had a very good temper and told the outside world that it was given to Concubine Hua, so Concubine Hua could make the decision. The servant did not do his job with all his heart, so he deserved to be punished.

And from then on, Nian Shilan would often not go even for the daily greetings, and Ulanara had no chance to place anyone there.

Seeing that Nian Shilan is already more than eight months pregnant, is he really going to wait for Nian Shilan to give birth to a prince and pose a threat to himself?
Ulanara walked out of Yonghe Palace with a heavy heart. She stood on the palace road and looked at the high palace walls.

She was the most noble woman in the world, and she would never allow anyone other than the emperor to rule over her.

It was rare for Concubine Wan to come to Yiku Palace, and there was one more personal maid by her side. Before, there was only Luo Yu, but now there was Cui Jinxi.

Luo Yu carefully helped Concubine Wan step into the threshold of Yiku Palace, followed by Cui Jinxi, who was holding a delicate and small food box in her hand.

The teak lunch box was carved with the pattern of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. According to folklore, teak can ward off evil spirits. I wonder what the craftsman who made the lunch box with teak was thinking.

Concubine Wan stood at the bottom of the steps, waiting for Xiao Linzi to report to Concubine Hua. When Nian Shilan heard Xiao Linzi say that Concubine Wan was outside asking for an audience, she remained calm and asked Xiao Linzi to invite Concubine Wan in.

"I greet Her Majesty Hua Fei. May Your Majesty be well~"

When Lady Wan entered the palace, she saw Nian Shilan holding her belly with both hands, walking back and forth in the palace.
"Get up. Lady Wan has never had much contact with me. I wonder why you are here today?"

Nian Shilan was too lazy to deal with it. She just felt that the fetal movements were unusually frequent today.

Concubine Wan ordered Cui Jinxi to open the food box, revealing a white porcelain soup bowl. Concubine Wan carefully took out the soup bowl and presented it to Nian Shilan with both hands.

"The Empress heard that you felt unwell in the morning, so she specially prepared this nourishing medicinal meal and asked me to bring it to you. Please eat it while it's hot, Concubine Hua."

Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Wan, but saw her shaking her head slightly.

Luo Yu stood behind Wan Guiren with his head down and did not notice her movements, but Song Zhi was standing behind Nian Shilan and saw it clearly.

Songzhi, who is already seventeen years old, is smarter than before.

Looking at Concubine Wan's expression, what else could she not understand?

But the master hasn't spoken yet, so I shouldn't be too smart.

There was a cold look in Nian Shilan's eyes. Ulanara was always thinking about her pregnancy.

But since she is so impatient, isn’t she afraid that the emperor will punish her later?
Year of the Landau.

"Didn't the emperor say a few days ago that I don't need any extra soup from others?

The imperial physician also said that excessive tonic would be bad for childbirth.

However, since the Queen is so kind today, I will drink it.

Songzhi."

Songzhi responded yes, took a step forward, smiled and took the soup bowl from Wan Guiren's hand with both hands, and said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lady Wan. The soup bowl is hot, just give it to me."

Concubine Wan lowered her eyes and politely handed the soup bowl to Songzhi, but Songzhi seemed to be in a state of irritability today for some reason.

With a loud "bang", the white porcelain soup bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The medicinal food in the bowl splashed all over Concubine Wan, staining a large area of ​​the light blue Manchu dress she was wearing today.

Songzhi was horrified and fell to her knees, not caring about the soup on the ground.

"Please forgive me, Master Wan! I just slipped my hand! Please forgive me, Master Wan!"

Luo Yu hurriedly stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe Concubine Wan's clothes, and Concubine Wan felt relieved.

"It's okay, Miss Songzhi, please get up quickly. You are the dowry of Concubine Hua, so it's not appropriate to do this. Get up quickly."

Songzhi didn't move, but just said "Please forgive me, Lady Wan".

Year of the Landau.

"Okay, get up. Lord Wan is very generous and will not bother with a servant like you."

Luo Yu had simply wiped the soup off Concubine Wan's clothes and was about to help Concubine Wan leave, but he saw Nian Shilan's expression change.

Nian Shilan only felt a growing pain in her stomach. She intuitively felt that the fetus in her belly was impatient to come into the world.

"Quick, please call the imperial physician and the midwife."

Xiao Linzi almost ran to invite Wen Xianqing. As for the midwife, Nian Shilan had already asked Yinzhen to allow her not to use the midwife in the palace, but to invite Wen Xianqing's mother instead.

Wen Xianqing's mother was once a famous midwife, but for some unknown reason, she no longer delivered babies.

This time, it was because Nian Shilan didn't trust others that Wen Xianqing nominated his mother.

Concubine Wan was shocked and confused. It seemed that Concubine Hua was about to give birth.
