The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 47 Songzhi falls

Ulanara woke up early and heard about what happened last night. Seeing that Yinzhen did not go to the morning court, she waited for Hu Gege, Shu Gege, Feng and Duan to pay their respects, and then took people to Jinglan Courtyard.

When I entered the door, Yinzhen was having breakfast with Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan seemed to be in good spirits, not as Jiang Fuhai had said when he came to report early in the morning.

When Nian Shilan saw Ulanara coming, she wiped her mouth and slowly stood up.

After waiting for Ulanara to pay her respects to Yinzhen, Nian Shilan bowed to Ulanara.

Following Ulanara came Hu Gege and Shu Gege.

Feng and Duan were sent back to Jianjiaxuan by Ulanara.

"Have you had breakfast, Fu Jin? The side dishes here at Shi Lan are pretty good. Would Fu Jin like to have breakfast with us?"

Yinzhen held the bowl of porridge, took a sip, and spoke to Ulanara.

Ulanara had her usual gentle and virtuous smile on her face.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I got up early and had my meal. I heard that Sister Nian was not feeling well last night and even alarmed Master. I thought Sister Nian was seriously ill, so I waited until the other sisters had paid their respects and came to see Sister Nian."

After saying these few words, Ulanara stopped.

He looked at Nian Shilan and continued.

"When I came in just now, I took a look at my sister's face, and she didn't seem to be in any serious trouble. It can be seen that my sister is blessed with great fortune and good luck."

Nian Shilan raised her hand to stroke her hair and was about to speak.

Yinzhen put down the bowl of porridge, looked at Ulanara and said.

"Fu Jin came to see Shi Lan early in the morning. It is the affection between you two that comforts me. Shi Lan was frightened the day before yesterday. I did not want to make it public, but Shi Lan is weak and she still had a nightmare. Now she is much better under the care of Doctor Wen. Fu Jin's face looks a little pale today. Why not ask Doctor Wen to check Fu Jin's pulse later?"

Nian Shilan covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and chuckled.

She said to Yinzhen in a coquettish manner: "I am not as delicate as my master said. I just haven't seen such a scene. Besides, I am a woman, and my nature is yin. I can't handle such a scene. Or maybe my master has strong yang energy. As soon as my master comes to my Jinglan Courtyard, I will be fine."

Yinzhen smiled at Nian Shilan, "Don't be too naughty. In this backyard, you are the one I love the most."

After saying this, Yinzhen turned to look at Ulanara, but instructed Su Peisheng to call Doctor Wen.

"No need." Ulanara spoke gently and stopped Su Peisheng.

She bowed again and said to Yinzhen: "Thank you for your concern, my lord. I feel fine. I came here to see my sister Nian. Now that my sister is well, I am relieved."

After saying this, he led Hu and Shu to leave.

Yinzhen stared at Ulanara as she left, and he lost his appetite to continue eating.

In the past, Ulanara was a very kind and gentle woman. She was respectful to her superiors and tolerant to her subordinates.

When did it change?
Every word he spoke contained a trap that was difficult to detect.

But, she is Yunxi's sister.

He promised Yunxi that he would keep the Ulanara family safe.

More importantly, Yunxi and Yixiu are both daughters of General Fei Yanggu.

Thinking of Fei Yanggu, I heard that the triumphant army was almost outside the capital.

Nian Shilan saw that Yinzhen stopped eating, so she signaled to the servants to clear the food from the table.

She acted like a spoiled child again, asking Yinzhen to accompany her to drink the medicine before leaving. Yinzhen came back to his senses and smiled dotingly, "Okay, okay, I will watch you drink the medicine before you leave."

Nian Shilan looked quite happy, with a little bit of cunningness as if she had succeeded in acting like a spoiled child.

Yinzhen felt that his eyes suddenly brightened up.

Songzhi watched her masters finish their breakfast and clear the table.

She asked Luluo to bring the Biluochun tea that had been brewed early in the morning.

Luluo hurriedly and respectfully brought the tea from the outside and tried to bring it into the house.

Songzhi stood at the door, took the tea from Luluo, and said, "The master is inside, you go outside and serve him."

Luoluo nodded and handed the tea tray to Songzhi.

"Thank you, Sister Songzhi, for bringing it in and serving tea to the master and the concubine."

Xiao Linzi lifted the door curtain and watched Songzhi enter the room carrying the tea tray.

He lowered his head, his eyes flickering, and when no one was paying attention, he stretched out his leg to trip Songzhi's foot.

Songzhi lost her balance for a moment and rushed into the house and fell to the ground.

The teapot and teacups on the tea tray were all smashed to pieces.

Songzhi's hand was cut by the broken porcelain pieces and blood gushed out.

Su Peisheng protected Songzhi at the table the moment she fell.

Nian Shilan and Yinzhen were sitting behind the table. Nian Shilan was so frightened that she threw herself into Yinzhen's arms.

"Ouch! What happened to Miss Songzhi? How could she fall down while walking?"

Su Peisheng said as he stepped forward to check Songzhi's injuries.

Yinzhen was not angry. He just thought that the servant had tripped and fell, so he should let him go and let someone else serve him.

Xiao Linzi ran into the house after hearing the sound. He did not check on Songzhi's injuries, but went to pick up the broken pieces of the teapot first.

Songzhi didn't care about the blood on her hands. She knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Master, please forgive me, I tripped and it was not intentional."

"It's okay, go down. Ask the court doctor for some medicine and put it on the public account." Yinzhen patted Nian Shilan in his arms and said to Songzhi.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Songzhi kowtowed to Yinzhen to express her gratitude.

Nian Shilan sat up from Yinzhen's arms, looked at Songzhi and said, "You have been by my side for so many years, why are you getting more and more irritable? Master, please spare your punishment. Thank you and get some medicine. Bandage your hand."

"I don't know what happened. When I entered the door, my foot twisted and I fell! When I fell, it seemed that the bricks I stepped on were loose! That's why I slipped!"

Songzhi raised her head and said anxiously with tears in her eyes.

After hearing this, Su Peisheng immediately stepped forward to check the floor tiles near the door.

He stepped on it again to test it and found that one of the bricks was loose.
