The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Zhen Chang in the mirror had red spots on her once fair and smooth skin.

Looking closely, the trend is exactly the same as the red spots on Concubine Wan's face.

Zhen Chang touched his face in panic. Fortunately, it was just a temporary red spot that had not yet formed a raised red mark.

"Liu Zhu, I will just leave you and Huan Bi to serve me."

"Huanbi, go get a basin of clean water!"

Zhen Chang immediately calmed down after the panic and comforted herself in her heart.

Fortunately, although I don’t know what caused the erythema, I have some detoxifying drugs on hand.

Liuzhu sent Juqing, who was making the bed in the room, away, and Huanbi brought some clean water.

"My dear, what's going on? Why do you suddenly have so many ideas?"

Huanbi asked anxiously while wetting the towel in the water.

Zhen Changzai took the wet wipes from Huanbi's hand and gently wiped the red marks on her face.

"How should I know? But it looks like someone has tampered with my diet."

Liu Zhu was surprised.

"My Lord, how do you see that?"

Zhen Changzai remained silent, but Huanbi reacted.

"What the young master means is..."

Zhen Changzai turned around, glanced at Huanbi, and nodded.

“I never thought that I would be poisoned by this thing.

By the way, Huanbi, I told you to throw away the medicine residue.

Can you do it neatly?"

Huanbi nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, my lady. Huanbi always obeys your orders when it comes to your arrangements!

Judging from the current situation, the young master has also been poisoned. Otherwise,

I will go get the antidote for you to take first?"

Liu Zhu had no idea what Zhen Changzai and Huanbi were talking about and was completely confused.

But she was worried about the red spots on Zhen Changzai's face, so she quickly interrupted.

"My lady, since someone has poisoned me, how about I report this to Her Majesty the Queen?
Besides, I'm afraid we need to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at it immediately!"

Huanbi took the towel that Zhen Changzai had used to wipe her face and soaked it in the water, saying to Liu Zhu indifferently.

"My lord hasn't given the order yet, why are you in such a hurry?
You stay here and help the young master wipe his face, I'll be back soon."

Liu Zhu was puzzled, and seeing that Zhen Changzai did not refute Huanbi's words, she had to quickly take over the work in Huanbi's hands and continue to serve Zhen Changzai to wipe his face.

In a moment, Huanbi had an exquisite small porcelain bottle in her hand, on which was painted a majestic cuckoo.

"My lady, I have just warmed up the rice wine. Please take a pill first."

Zhen Changzai nodded, took the medicine handed to him by Huanbi, and washed it down with a sip of rice wine.

With a lot on his mind, Zhen Changzai lay in bed unable to fall asleep.

Nian Shilan was sitting in the Yiku Palace. After teasing the Fourth Prince for a while, she sent the wet nurse to coax him to sleep.

Xiao Linzi held in his hands an exquisite little porcelain vase similar to the one held by Huanbi in Guanju Tower, except that the pattern on the porcelain vase was a blooming peony.

“Master, this is it.

I will follow your instructions.

I took the medicine from the bottle.

Other drugs were mixed in.”

Nian Shilan looked at Xiao Linzi's hand and smiled.

"I don't know where she got these things. It's hard for her to come from a rich family.
After more than ten years of being a lady, she actually knew about such lowly drugs.

I didn't want to care about her life or death, but now that she has taken the first step,

Then I don’t mind teasing her for a bit.”

Xiao Linzi smiled apologetically.

"Master is smart. You shouldn't have the intention to harm others.
Who made her stay restless in this palace?

The master was just giving her a lesson."

Nian Shilan waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Stop flattering me. I have my own plans.
But I have no intention of touching her yet.
She bumped into it herself.

Her father was not well-respected in the previous dynasty.

But she is also a censor who cannot be beaten or killed. If she didn't do those little tricks,
Judging from the emperor's temperament, he might have already visited her.

Unfortunately, she always thought she was exceptionally smart.

Treat others as fools,
Even the emperor was included in her scheme.

However, man proposes, God disposes. The current situation is...
She asked for it.”

Xiao Linzi said.

"Yes, Master, you are absolutely right. By the way,
Today, when I came out of Guanju Tower to change the medicine,
There was also a figure sneaking into the Yanxi Palace.
I wanted to catch up to see what was going on.

But the servant suddenly remembered what the master said.

I won't bother you. Master, do you want me to investigate?"

Year of the Landau.

"No need. Zhen Changzai is smart and can handle it herself.

What do you want me to worry about?

Instead of worrying about her,
I'd better get some rest and watch tomorrow's show."

Xiao Linzi laughed.

"Master, just rest up and watch the show.

I haven't watched a play for a long time.

Follow the master and take a good look tomorrow!"

After returning to the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen was also drunk and unable to sleep.

Su Peisheng stood beside Yinzhen in a flattering manner.

"Your Majesty, how about I ask the chief steward of the Jingshifang to come over?

Can you turn over a card to sober you up?"

The bright color of tonight emerged in Yinzhen's mind.

"No need to turn over the cards. I want to go out for a walk to get rid of the alcohol."

Su Peisheng asked with difficulty.

"Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock in the morning and it's snowing outside.

You still don't want to go out?"

Yinzhen suddenly stretched out his hand that was supporting his head and pointed at Su Peisheng, sneering.

"I think you are doing your job better and better. You even dare to contradict my order."

Su Peisheng fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.

"I dare not! I dare not!

Your Majesty, wherever you want to go, I will follow you!"

Yinzhen stood up and walked out of the Yangxin Palace with his hands behind his back.

Su Peisheng followed Yinzhen's footsteps tremblingly, but became more and more confused as he walked.

Su Peisheng originally thought that Yinzhen was going to Hua Fei's Yiku Palace, or to some favored concubine.

But as they walked, they found themselves outside the Yanxi Palace.

Su Peisheng suddenly realized that the emperor was looking for An Changzai!

Su Peisheng quickly ran ahead to clear the way and entered the gate of the Yanx Palace. Yinzhen stopped at the entrance of Guanju Tower.

"Knock on the door."

Yinzhen gave orders calmly.

Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped back. He knocked on the gate of Guanju Tower, cleared his throat, and spoke loudly.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Xiao Yinzi, the eunuch on night duty who was napping in the corridor, jumped up in panic.

Why is the emperor here in the middle of the night?

Ever since my young lady entered the palace, the emperor has never come at this time!

Xiao Yinzi responded hurriedly and knocked on Zhen Changzai's door to announce the arrival of the emperor.

Then Xiao Yinzi ran to open the door to welcome the emperor.

But as soon as Xiao Yinzi opened the door, Su Peisheng scolded him.

"You little bastard! You don't even have the tact to open the door when the Emperor comes!
You've made the emperor stand in the snow for quite some time, you better watch your skin!"

Xiao Yinzi was so scared that he was kneeling on the ground trembling with fear. Yinzhen raised his hand to stop Su Peisheng from scolding Xiao Yinzi.

"Hey~ Nothing, he looks young, I guess he has fallen asleep just now." (End of this chapter)
