The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 384: The Queen Mother under House Arrest
Yinzhen's anger had reached its peak, and he finally said.

"Today is New Year's Eve. It is not appropriate to talk about this in the new year. Mother is tired. Your son will take her home first."

"Su Peisheng, take the sedan chair to send Empress Dowager De back to Yonghe Palace for her to have a good rest!"

Su Peisheng quickly agreed and went out to call for the sedan chair.

It was already warm in the hall, and after this, Su Peisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and trotted back to his work.

Empress Dowager De looked at Yinzhen in astonishment.

"The Emperor actually decided for me whether I was tired or not? I was just thinking about the New Year.

I can ask the emperor to release the Fourteenth Prince, but would the emperor be so cruel?

I am the emperor's biological mother!"

Nian Shilan thought to herself, Empress Dowager De should just keep talking. The more she talks, the more she will stimulate Yinzhen.

Your efforts will not be wasted.

When Yinzhen's suppressed anger was about to explode, the Empress Dowager said.

"Uya, so what if you are the emperor's biological mother?
You compare the dignity of an emperor with your worthless little son,

Have you really forgotten why Old Fourteen was imprisoned?

Then I will come to remind you!

The Fourteenth Prince, Hongli's uncle, actually poisoned Hongli!
You are so cruel to a newborn baby, and you are qualified to accuse the emperor of being cruel?

I see, no one is more cruel than your good-for-nothing little son!"

Nian Shilan was a junior and could not blame Empress Dowager De for what was said by the Empress Dowager.

Nian Shilan only felt that the breath that was stagnant in his heart was slowly being released.

It’s just that this anger has been accumulated for too long, from the last life to this life.

From Nian Shilan’s unborn child to the current Fourth Prince.

We still need to work harder to truly alleviate the problem.

Concubine Li quietly moved her knees. She had been spoiled since childhood, and after kneeling for such a while, she felt her knees could not bear it anymore.

Cao Changzai, who had been kneeling behind Li Guiren, moved with a big movement.

At a time when everyone was too afraid to breathe, someone in a neither loud nor soft voice expressed concern to Concubine Li.

"Sister Li, can't you kneel any longer? I noticed that you have already moved twice.

If I keep moving back and forth, I will be squeezed by the people behind me."

These seemingly caring words were like throwing a blazing torch onto the dry straw.

Yinzhen's anger was suddenly directed at Concubine Li!

"Lady Li, you should learn the etiquette carefully. Go back to your Qixiang Palace!"

While Concubine Li was still in a daze, she inexplicably provoked Yinzhen's outburst.

After saying those words, Cao Chang immediately knelt on the ground and no longer looked up.

Concubine Li was usually spoiled and would occasionally show her temper when she was with Yinzhen in private.

Yinzhen just smiled and said that he liked Li Guiren's personality.

Today, when she suddenly saw Yinzhen scolding her in front of so many people, Li Guiren immediately pouted her lips, not knowing whether to cry or not, and said with a bit of coquettishness.

"Your Majesty, please understand. I did not do it! It was Concubine Cao who framed me!"

On this happy day, Yinzhen was already furious with Empress Dowager De's behavior.

But under the pressure of filial piety, he could only endure it.

Now even a small nobleman dares to contradict him in public!

Yinzhen tried hard to suppress his anger and said.

“Noble Lady Li ignored palace rules and spoke out against me.

As punishment, you will be grounded for half a month. Stay in your Qixiang Palace and reflect on your actions.

Su Peisheng, find someone to take Concubine Li back immediately."

Concubine Li's delicate face, which had looked like she was about to cry just now, suddenly changed color.

She looked around in panic, but found no one who could plead for her.

Everyone lowered their heads. She was not on good terms with any of the concubines, so she could only shout "I am wronged" and was forcibly taken away by the nanny. Empress Dowager De suddenly swayed, and Zhu Xi and Su Peisheng, who were standing beside her, quickly reached out to help her.

"Oh, what happened to the Queen Mother?"

As Su Peisheng spoke, he held Empress Dowager De's arm.

Empress Dowager De held her forehead with her hand, as if to relax.

When she opened her eyes, she pointed at Yinzhen with trembling fingers.

"Okay, okay. My dear son, you are just trying to please me!"

Nian Shilan, who had been watching the show, thought that the vicious and scheming Empress Dowager De in the previous life was an old fox who had conspired with Yinzhen to seize the throne and had been trained together with Yinzhen among the concubines.

In this life, Yinzhen ascended the throne early beyond everyone's expectations, and he did not rely on Empress Dowager De, so naturally he lacked a lot of experience in fighting others.

This actually helped Nian Shilan a lot.

If it weren't for Zhile, who has been serving Empress Dowager De all these days, the results today would not have been achieved.

Of course, it is also thanks to the people that the Empress Dowager had placed in Yonghe Palace, who always talked about the miserable life of the Fourteenth Prince.

Only by taking these two approaches together can we make someone as firmly in power as Empress Dowager De lose her composure.

They chose such an important day as today to cause such a scene.

Yinzhen said.

"Mother, you are too kind."

"Su Peisheng, have someone send Empress Dowager De back in a sedan chair!

Please ask the imperial physician to prescribe some tranquilizers for my mother.

After today's feast, I guess mother must be tired.

Just take a good rest in Yonghe Palace for a few days!

There is no need to disturb the Yonghe Palace when paying respects to the Queen Mother on the first day of the new year."

When Empress Dowager De heard this, she realized that her own son wanted to put her under house arrest!

She only felt a black screen before her eyes, and this time she really couldn't stand steadily.

His lips trembled with anger and he couldn't utter a word.

Su Peisheng and Zhu Xi hurriedly helped Empress Dowager De to sit down, and arranged for someone to send Empress Dowager De back to Yonghe Palace.

Ulanara no longer dared to say a word in defense of her aunt. Yinzhen was furious at the moment, and anyone who said anything more would have it to themselves.

Yinzhen waited until Empress Dowager De was sent away before speaking.

"Everyone, stand up. You've been kneeling for so long, don't get sick from it."

Only then did everyone stand up with the help of their personal maids.

Fu Changzai, who had just come out of confinement a few days ago, was already shaking in her legs, but she had just seen the consequences of Li Guiren's pampering.

Fu Changzai was supported by Xing'er and slowly moved back to his seat and sat down. Only then did he dare to take a deep breath.

Calm your heart which has been shocked by today's scene.

Everyone sat in the hall and had lost their appetite.

The food was cold, so Su Peisheng asked the imperial kitchen to bring up the freshly prepared hot dishes.

Said the Queen Mother.

"Emperor, I am not feeling well right now and cannot sit for long.

I will go back and rest first."

Yinzhen's expression relaxed slightly and he spoke respectfully to the Empress Dowager.

"The Empress is not feeling well. Shall I ask the imperial physician to come and see you?"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and smiled.

"No need to trouble the imperial physician, I know my own health.

It is normal that as you get older, your health is not as good as when you were young.

Today is New Year's Eve, but it has turned out like this.

The emperor must have been even more sad.

But Empress Dowager De is the emperor's biological mother after all, and the emperor should be more considerate."
