The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 322 Something wrong
Zhuxi's lips moved, but he finally swallowed what he was about to say.

Empress Dowager De continued to close her eyes and spoke to herself.

"Although the Fourth Prince is also my grandson, I shouldn't be so cruel.

However, the throne of the queen must always be in the hands of the Ulanara family.

The honor and disgrace of our Uya family and the Ulanara family are one and the same.

If Hua Fei's son can grow up safely, that is what I am most worried about."

Bamboo breath road.

“I have seen that the situation in the court is gradually stabilizing. I heard that when the emperor first ascended the throne, many of the old ministers of the previous emperor were dissatisfied.

For example, Ma Qi even claimed to be sick and did not attend court many times, and the emperor was helpless.

I don't know how Nian Gengyao did it, but Lord Ma Qi continued to attend the court.
It looks no different from when he served the previous emperor.

I once heard Fang Ruo say that the Emperor praised Nian Gengyao many times in the Yangxin Palace.

He is praised as a pillar of the country and a loyal minister. "

Empress Dowager De said.

"This is what I am most worried about. Nian Gengyao is powerful, but not arrogant.

Ai Jia asked people to form cliques with him, but he remained unmoved.

He always opposed Longkodo and was completely helpless against him.

The emperor is my biological son, although he did not grow up with me.
But I also know his character.

The emperor is suspicious by nature. I have experienced this since he was a prince.

If Nian Gengyao continued to act with such caution, the emperor would surely value him even more.

Only when he becomes arrogant and conceited can he arouse the emperor's fear."

Bamboo sighed.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother is wise. However, Nian Gengyao has been in the northwest for a long time and has little contact with the court officials. How can we make the emperor afraid of him?"

Empress Dowager De suddenly smiled, and a look of relief appeared on her closed eyes.

"This kind of thing should naturally be left to Longkodo. I believe that he is also dissatisfied with Nian Gengyao.

What's more, he had promised me that he would rescue Fourteen.

Longkodo has always disliked the emperor. If it weren't for my face, he might not have been willing to help the emperor ascend the throne.

It’s just that the emperor treated my biological mother as a bridge to cross the river, and after using it, he wanted to tear it down.

Look at the smug face of Niuhulu now. I have been ill for two years, but she is enjoying the peace and tranquility of the Cining Palace.

I, the emperor's biological mother, have to live in the Yonghe Palace.

Throughout the dynasties, how many times have there been two Empress Dowagers? In my heart, the one I hate the most is the Emperor.

Since you have already taken action, why not let the Niuhulu family be implicated in my current situation! "

Zhu Xi leaned over and whispered.

"Her Majesty, be careful with your words!"

Empress Dowager De stopped talking, just closed her eyes and rested, thinking about something in her mind.

Nian Shilan had already found two healthy wet nurses for the Fourth Prince. The two new wet nurses took good care of the sick Fourth Prince and were very concerned about him.

As for the two wet nurses, one died and the other fell ill. As for the one who died, Nian Shilan rewarded her family with ten taels of silver, and her body was disposed of by the palace along with those palace maids who had died of illness before.

As for the sick one, Nian Shilan had her detained in a separate room in Qingliang Palace, where Wen Xianqing treated her.

That day, Wen Xianqing gave acupuncture to the wet nurse Tie early in the morning. As soon as he came out of the room where Tie lived, he saw Nian Shilan standing in the yard.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty Hua Fei. May Your Majesty be blessed. Why are you standing here so early?"

Nian Shilan has been taking care of the Fourth Prince personally these days and has looked a little haggard, but fortunately she is in good health and has not felt any discomfort.

"Get up. I was worried about Hongli and couldn't sleep well, so I got up early. The heat is still here, so it's cooler in the morning. How is Tie?"

Wen Xianqing replied honestly.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, Tie is in much better spirits than yesterday. I know that Her Majesty has some questions in her mind.

Now that Tie is able to speak properly, Your Majesty can interrogate her on your own.

I just want to remind you that when you are talking to Tie, you still need to keep your mask on.

And your Majesty, you still have to take the medicine I prescribe for you every day."

Year of the Landau.

"I know. In that case, I will ask Tie in person."

Nian Shilan ordered Xiao Linzi to call Tie out of the room. Tie's sallow complexion from the past few days had indeed improved a lot.

Nian Shilan sat in the shade of the yard, playing with a soft whip in her hand.

Tie was only the Fourth Prince's wet nurse. She had only heard in the past that Concubine Hua came from a military family and was good at whipping. Today, when she took a glance at the soft whip in Concubine Hua's hand, Tie's knees went limp as if they had no bones as she just walked in front of Concubine Hua.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei. May Your Majesty be blessed. I deeply thank Her Majesty for saving my life!"

Nian Shilan twisted the whip in her hand into a flower shape, and a crisp whip sound was heard.

She looked at Tie with a smile and threw the whip to Xiao Linzi beside her.

"You are Hongli's wet nurse, and the wet nurses of princes and princesses have always been honored.

I have always treated you well, so that you can serve Hongli wholeheartedly.

But after this incident, I don’t dare to believe you anymore.”

Tie looked up in fear.

"I am stupid and don't know what your Majesty is referring to."

Nian Shilan was still smiling, but that smile was playful.

"Are you still going to pretend to be confused in front of me?"

Tie still looked bewildered.

"Please let me know, Madam."

Xiao Linzi swung the whip that Nian Shilan handed to him into the air, making a crackling sound, and he scolded.

“As early as when the epidemic began, the master told us not to step out of this Qingliang Palace.

I have also specifically told you and Liu about this matter. You are the ones who serve the Fourth Prince every day.

The Fourth Prince is young and cannot withstand the infection of the disease, so you just stay in this Qingliang Palace.

There are so many people in Qingliang Palace, but it is you two who are sick, and you have caused the Fourth Prince to suffer such a heavy crime!
Where is your conscience?!"

When Tie heard the sound of the whip, she was so frightened that she trembled all over and kowtowed to Nian Shilan in panic.

"Please Your Majesty, please understand. Even if I had ten courages, I would not dare to do anything that would harm the Fourth Prince!

I am also confused. I have never stepped out of Qingliang Palace, so why did I get sick? And I even implicated the Fourth Prince!"

Nian Shilan said, the smile on her face disappearing.

"I will give you another chance, think about it carefully. You, or Liu?"

Tie lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and thought to herself, I don’t know how Liu’s illness is. Since Concubine Hua came to ask her, it must be because she didn’t get anything out of Liu.

He and Liu grew up together, entered the palace together, got married together, and then became the fourth prince's wet nurse together.

But now it seems that Concubine Hua has to ask something. Since Liu has betrayed her master, there is no need for Tie to care about their past friendship.

Tie raised her head, looked at Nian Shilan and said.

"I just thought about it carefully. Before the epidemic spread here, there was indeed something wrong!"

Happy holidays to all my friends, big and small, new and old!
