The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 243 Suspicious Tea Set

Yinzhen looked at Concubine Shen and saw her standing tall among the crowd with a steady temperament. He also thought that she was also well-versed in poetry and literature.

It’s good to have multiple people assisting in managing the six palaces, but power should sometimes be dispersed.

"Just do what you like. You should handle these little things on your own. There is no need to ask me again."

Jingpin was still resentful. When she calmed down at night, she thought about what Yu and Ulanara said and realized that there seemed to be another mystery behind it.

Ulanara sat in her own Jingren Palace with a gloomy face.

Too many unexpected things happened today. Originally, Ulanara wanted to let Zhen Changzai be noticed by the emperor at the family dinner of Chuxue. In this way, even if one day Wan Guiren could no longer be of use to her, she still had Zhen Changzai.

Unexpectedly, Princess Kangle had an attack today. I had someone add medicine to the wet nurse's diet to suppress the attack. Unexpectedly, the wet nurse did not have an attack, but the princess showed symptoms of stomach discomfort.

She wanted to get rid of Yu and even wanted to use her to harm Nian Shilan. However, Yu was not only stupid, but also always tried to escape from her control and gain the favor of Yinzhen.

Ulanara originally wanted to find an opportunity a few days later to let the princess and the wet nurse fight, and then use gentle means to completely pull Jingpin to her side, but such a big accident happened, which instead made things easier for Nian Shilan.

Not only did it make Nian Shilan's power in managing the six palaces more secure, it also made Yinzhen and Jingpin suspicious of the Ulanara family.

Fortunately, I made preparations in advance and had Yu's family under my control, so I didn't let Yu bite me out.

Thinking of today's situation, Ulanara couldn't help but smash the teacup in her hand to pieces.

The servants outside heard the noise and wanted to come in to clean up, Jianqiu said.

"It's okay, no need to come in, I'll just clean up here."

Jianqiu said as she squatted on the ground picking up broken porcelain pieces.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I know what you are angry about. The Emperor also told you today to leave the affairs of the six palaces to Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei is even more proud. But you are the queen, and the emperor will not really give all the power of the six palaces to Hua Fei.

As long as you teach the Third Prince carefully these days, the Emperor will still rely on you when the storm has passed.

At worst, think about it, when Queen Chunyuan died, she left a will."

Ulanara watched Jianqiu picking up the broken porcelain pieces and thought of Chunyuan's last words.

"My sister had a difficult delivery at that time, and in her last moments she laid on the emperor's lap and asked him to treat me well.

But my sister has been gone for so many years, and the emperor has only given me a position, but has never given me any love.

Until I became pregnant again, I thought that God would show mercy and allow me and the Emperor to reconcile.

Who knew I would give birth to a child like Jianqiu? Do you think this is my retribution? "

Jianqiu had picked up all the broken porcelain pieces and held them gently in her hands. She looked at Ulanara and said.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. How can this be your retribution? Your Majesty has never been wrong.

It's not the Empress who is wrong, it's the person who stole the Empress' favor.

I have followed you since I was a child. I feel sorry for you more than anyone else during the times you have gone through.

I just feel that the emperor seems to have changed since he ascended the throne."

Ulanara looked at Jianqiu.

"You also think the emperor has changed? I think so too.

In the past, the emperor cherished everything about his sister.

But now, I don’t know whether the emperor has been dazzled by the newcomer or he has forgotten his affection for his sister.

The emperor seemed to think less and less about his sister. Last year, on the anniversary of his sister's death,
I waited for a long time in the room where my sister's belongings were kept before I finally saw the Emperor.

The emperor finally came, but he just sat for a while and then left.

I thought that the scene brought back memories, but it’s hard to find the old friends again.

In the past, the emperor would stay in that room all day long."

Jianqiu slowly placed the broken porcelain pieces in her hand on the table and poured tea for Ulanara again. "This set of white porcelain tea set is the queen's favorite, but now it is incomplete.

Tomorrow I will ask Jiang Fuhai to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get a new one.

You are the queen, this white porcelain is too plain."

Ulanara smiled bitterly, looked at the pile of broken porcelain pieces, and was suddenly stunned.

She clearly remembered that when she used the teacup before, there was a small black spot on the bottom. Because it was on the edge of the bottom and very small, it was not easy to be noticed.

But I did notice it because I was drinking tea and playing with the tea set every day.

When she first noticed it, she sighed that the otherwise good cup had a small flaw.

But when Jianqiu picked up the porcelain pieces and put them on the table just now, the bottom piece was facing her, but she didn't see the small black dot.

Ulanara reached out and picked up the piece of broken porcelain, Jianqiu said hurriedly.

"My lady, be careful. The broken porcelain is sharp. Why bother to pick it up yourself?"

Ulanara held up the piece of broken porcelain and looked at it again and again before speaking.

"Have you changed this tea set?"

Jianqiu asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this set of tea set was given to you by the Empress Dowager not long after you became pregnant.
At that time, each concubine in the harem was awarded a set.

As far as I know, there is no such thing in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Didn’t the Queen Mother say that she had specially found it?

And you have been using this tea set all the time, how can you possibly change it?"

Ulanara said.

"No. I clearly remember that there was an inconspicuous black dot at the bottom of the teacup.

Now it's gone inexplicably.

Also, now that I think about it, could the previous pregnancy have been related to this cup?

I also know that the prescription for aiding pregnancy is very powerful, but it is impossible to give birth to a child like that.

Jianqiu, do you think there is something in this cup?
Go and secretly investigate to see if anyone among those who have these cups as me is missing a teacup.

Also, send someone to investigate the sources of these tea sets obtained by the Empress Dowager.

I suddenly felt that maybe I was harmed by someone."

Jianqiu took the piece of broken porcelain from Ulanara's hand and looked at it carefully, but could not see anything. She just felt that the teacup was no different from before.

But Jianqiu still responded.

"Yes, I will check it out right away."

Nian Shilan sat in the Yikun Palace, carefully going over what had happened today in her mind, and couldn't help laughing.

It must be God who helped her. It was probably because today's incident happened suddenly that Ulanara lost her composure and threatened Yu.

But the fact that Yinzhen became emperor so early did not mean he could be easily fooled.

In the past, many things were prepared, but today, both Nian Shilan and Ulanara were shocked by this sudden event.

Fortunately, Yinzhen was in charge and found Yu in time.

Yinzhen might not be unaware of many things in the previous life, but he had his own considerations and let women like Nian Shilan fight to the death in the harem.

In this life, Yinzhen was still very young. If he added fuel to the fire, it would not be impossible for him to dethrone Ulanara from the throne of Queen.

Nian Shilan thought that when she was strong enough, none of those people from her previous life would be able to escape, including the instigator, Yinzhen.

I caught a cold today, my head hurts like crazy, and I feel very uncomfortable with all kinds of discomfort. But thinking that everyone is still waiting for updates, I still gritted my teeth and finished writing. I'm going to lie down
