The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

But every time, all he got in return was Defei's indifferent and distant greetings.

The greeting did not sound like concern for his own son at all, but more like a routine conversation between an elder and a younger person.

As Fourteenth Princess grew up, Yinzhen could only address her as "Empress Defei" more often when he saw her.

Because the little Fourteenth Prince could already hug Defei's legs, look at his brother Yinzhen with a wary look, and say things like "Stay away from my mother."

And every time at this time, Concubine De would just lovingly pick up Fourteen, gently pinch his little face, and say something.

"Don't be rude to your fourth brother."

She said "your fourth brother" instead of "your elder brother".

Every time Yinzhen met Concubine De and Fourteenth Concubine, and then went to pay his respects to Imperial Noble Concubine Tong Jia, Tong Jia would scold him, saying that only when you raise a child will you understand the kindness of your parents.

Gradually, Yinzhen no longer expected to get maternal love from Concubine De, and he became closer to Tong Jia.

Yinzhen would happily give the things that the previous emperor had rewarded him to Tong Jia in exchange for her praise.

As for Concubine De, she said behind people's back that she had only one son, the fourteenth.

When Yinzhen thought of this, he looked at the bowl of soup again, his eyes filled with disgust.

What he couldn't get since he was a child is now in vain for him.

"Pour it out. I don't drink anything that comes from unknown sources."

Su Peisheng also knew what Yinzhen was thinking at this time, and hurriedly took the white porcelain soup bowl away.

When Xiao Xia Zi saw Su Peisheng bring out the soup bowl intact, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Master, this was sent by the Empress Dowager. Why doesn't the Emperor drink it?"

Su Peisheng looked at the hot potato in his hand and said unhappily.

"You ask me? Why don't you ask the emperor yourself?"

Su Peisheng took the opportunity to stuff the soup bowl into Xiao Xiazi's hand and ordered him to pour it out. Xiao Xiazi didn't dare to say anything and hurried to do his work.

Nian Shilan ordered that the Qingliang Palace be sealed off, and all supplies were allowed to enter but not leave.

The fainted wet nurse was carried to the place in the garden cleared by Wen Xianqing, where two imperial doctors were treating the sick palace maids using the method taught by Wen Xianqing.

The little Fourth Prince's face was flushed red. Wen Xianqing reduced the dosage of the medicine and a few more injections. After the last silver needle was pulled out of the Fourth Prince's body, Wen Xianqing spoke.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured now. I have already given the Fourth Prince acupuncture. I think the fever will subside in less than half an hour.

But I am afraid that you can no longer drink breast milk for the time being. I just saw the wet nurse and she looked tired and weak. I am afraid that she has also been infected with the epidemic."

Nian Shilan made the decision behind the mask.

"I will take care of Hongli myself!"

Songzhi and Lingzhi hurriedly advised.

"Your Majesty! We are here to serve the Fourth Prince with all our heart and soul! You must not stay here for long!"

Nian Shilan looked at the Fourth Prince lying on the bed. He had his eyes closed tightly. Nian Shilan felt extremely heartbroken.

When Hongli was just born, he was drugged by Yunli. Fortunately, the disease was only superficial at that time, and there were no sequelae after being treated by Wen Xianqing.

Now that he is almost one year old, he has been infected with this deadly epidemic.

Nian Shilan's tears flowed down her face unconsciously, but she was extremely firm when she spoke.

"I can only feel at ease if I raise my son myself!"

When Yinzhen heard this, he recalled that when he was a child, Defei gave him up to be adopted by Tong Jia in order to climb the social ladder. Yinzhen couldn't help feeling even sadder and felt more distressed for Nian Shilan and her son.

I don't know what magic medicine Empress Dowager De has used recently, but she looks much more energetic.

Zhu Xi dismissed the serving palace maids, took out a pill from a brocade box, brought some warm rice wine, and put it to Empress Dowager De's mouth.

"Empress Dowager, this is the last pill. I have sent a message to Lord Longkodo. Lord Longkodo said that more medicine will be sent in as soon as possible.

I heard that Lord Longkodo has repeatedly requested to visit you in the palace, but the Emperor always said that you were not in good health.
Seeing people would only make my illness worse, so I always refused Lord Longkodo."

Queen Mother De touched her gradually puffy cheeks and sneered.

"My good son, you want me to fend for myself."

Bamboo breath road.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The Emperor values ​​filial piety, and he has given you all the good medicines in the palace.

The Emperor has sent people to look for medicine that is not available in the palace. But your illness is really strange and has not healed for a long time."

Empress Dowager De put down her hands and stared at them again.

The previously withered hands gradually regained flesh and blood, and seemed to be getting better little by little.

"The Emperor values ​​filial piety? If he really values ​​filial piety, how could the late Emperor suddenly pass away? How could I be a widow before I was forty?

If you really value filial piety, why would you ignore my desperate pleas and demote Yunzhen to a commoner and even imprison him?
If you really value filial piety, how can you not ask people to treat me wholeheartedly? ! Isn't Doctor Wen a miracle doctor? !

Why didn’t you ask him to treat me? I was sick for two years! In the end, I had to rely on myself! "

The Empress Dowager De became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She slammed the table, causing the rice wine pot on the table to shake.

Zhuxi was so frightened that he steady the wine pot and began to comfort Queen Dowager De.

"Your Majesty, calm down! You just took the medicine. Lord Longkodo has repeatedly told you to take the medicine.

You must not get angry! I know you are sad, but I will only let you recover.
Only then will you have the energy to make long-term plans! Only when you recover from your illness can you think of a way to rescue the Fourteenth Master!"

Queen Mother De calmed down her anger a little and snorted coldly.

"My son was demoted to a commoner, but Concubine Hua's son is still fine.

I don't want to see her happy, go.

Keep an eye on Qingliang Palace for me. This time, I will kill her son!"

Zhu Xi was terrified. He had been with Empress Dowager De every day, but he had no idea when she had attacked the Fourth Prince.

I have no idea how Empress Dowager De did it!
Zhuxi nodded yes, then took away the wine jug and brocade box with a heavy heart.

In less than a moment, Zhuxi came in again and sent the palace maids serving in the hall out.

She watched as Empress Dowager De's face became increasingly rosy. Although not as graceful as before, it was much better than the previous two years. Empress Dowager De leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes to rest.

Bamboo breath road.

"My lady, I just heard."

Empress Dowager De opened her eyes slightly and said calmly.

"Tell me, what did you hear?"

Zhuxi continued.

"I heard that Concubine Hua was personally guarding the Fourth Prince, feeding him medicine, wiping his body, and Doctor Wen even used acupuncture.

The fever of the Fourth Prince has subsided, but he still has little energy. The wet nurse who was sent to the imperial physician was the first to fall ill.

The other nurse also fell ill and is now in the servants' room of Qingliang Palace, and it is unknown whether she is dead or alive.

But I think, given Concubine Hua's personality, she will definitely give the wet nurse good treatment."

Empress Dowager De laughed out of anger.

"Oh, how could she be so lucky? Could it be that her son is really blessed by God?
I don’t believe these. I only believe that man can conquer nature!
I have already made my move, there is no turning back, I must make her son die!" (End of this chapter)
