The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 508 Recovery as before
Concubine Shu did not go to the Old Summer Palace with the other concubines to escape the summer heat this time, so Yunli first followed Xiao Linzi to change his clothes, then said goodbye to Yinzhen, and then hurried to Jingyang Palace where Concubine Shu lived in the palace.

The original mistress of Jingyang Palace was Consort Wenxi. Even though the late emperor loved Consort Shu, Consort Shu could only enter Jingyang Palace after Consort Wenxi passed away.

When Yunli saw Concubine Shu, he felt that she seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

It’s only been more than ten days since we last saw each other.

"Your son greets you, mother. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."

Yunli knelt down and paid his respects to Concubine Shu.

However, Concubine Shu just half-closed her eyes and didn't look at her son, with a cold tone in her voice.

"Get up. Today is not a festival, what are you doing here?"

Yunli was stunned for a moment, looking at Concubine Shu who was kneeling on the cushion in front of him, without getting up.

Concubine Shu put her hands together, with a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads hanging on her right hand. Her clothes and appearance were very simple, and she didn't even wear her favorite gold-tipped honeysuckle hairpin anymore.

That hairpin was given to her by the late emperor when she first began to serve him.

It has always been regarded by Concubine Shu as a token of her love for the late emperor.

Even though she became very favored later and got many better and more valuable jewelry, she always loved the gold-tipped honeysuckle hairpin the most.

Yunli looked at his mother's head of pure black hair and felt a pang in his heart. He knelt stubbornly and refused to get up.

"I don't know why my son is worried about my mother, so I asked my brother today.
I want to come and see my mother. Doesn’t my mother want to see her son?”

Concubine Shu still didn't look at Yunli. Only Jiyun, the palace maid who had been serving her closely, glanced at Yunli secretly.

Jiyun felt sad and distressed when he saw Yunli like this.

This was the child she had watched grow up. He was now kneeling on the ground stubbornly, waiting for his mother to look at him, just like a young eagle just out of its nest.

Yunli waited for a long time, but there was no response from Concubine Shu, so he couldn't help but speak again.

"My son had a restless dream last night, and when he woke up he was thinking about my mother in the palace.

My son knows that you have been feeling depressed since the passing of the Emperor.

But I beg you to open your eyes and look at me. I no longer have my father.

Do you want your son to no longer recognize you as his mother?
My son doesn’t understand why you became like this overnight?
Half a month ago, when your son came to see you, you brought him his favorite cakes.

Persuade your son to eat more, mother, come and look at your son!"

Yunli's voice was trembling with tears, but Concubine Shu seemed not to hear it.

After a while, she spoke in a clear and cold voice.

"You have grown up and have established your own family, so mother doesn't need to worry about you anymore.

Just live your life and don't come to the palace unless you have something to do.

You should come to my Jingyang Palace less often, only in this way can I please you."

When Yunli heard what Shu Taipin said, he was struck by lightning. He didn't understand why his mother suddenly stopped seeing him. He crawled on his knees and tried to pull his mother's hand, but was stopped by Jiyun.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine is now devoted to Buddhism and does not want to be contaminated by worldly things.

I know you are the most filial, so why don't you just listen to what the imperial concubine has to say."

Yunli, who came out of Jingyang Palace, was in a daze, and he looked like he had lost all his energy and spirit.

The long-time attendant A Jin and others were waiting in the courtyard. Seeing that there was something wrong with their own prince who came out of the palace, they did not dare to ask rashly, so they could only follow him carefully.

It was not until he left the palace and stood at the palace gate that Yunli looked back at the towering palace gate and tall palace walls and realized that he was now like a stray dog.

The emperor had passed away for several years, and his mother suddenly forbade him to see her again. The two people closest to him in the world suddenly abandoned him.

For a moment, he didn't know who else in the world he could rely on. Ah Jin looked at Yun Li's expression carefully and said.

"My Lord, you rushed to the palace in such a hurry, but you are so angry after seeing the imperial concubine.
But what did Lady Hua Guifei say, or is it that the imperial concubine is not feeling well? "

Yunli shook his head, his voice very low.

"My mother is fine, but for some reason, she suddenly stopped me from visiting her in the palace.

Sister Lan said before that there was something wrong with mom recently, and I just thought she was just coaxing me to go see her.

But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that my mother must have encountered something in the palace and suddenly became like this.

Ah Jin, do you remember that my mother was fine before? "

A Jin nodded.

"Remember, I always remember, every time you visit the imperial concubine,

The imperial concubines were all very happy and praised you for being filial.
She always thinks about what you like to eat, and she makes it for you herself.

It's strange to say, according to the rules, the Concubine Tai should be living out her days in the harem.
The emperor has always been very filial to the late emperor and his concubines. Why don't you check what happened?"

Yunli raised his head and looked ahead, his voice gradually becoming firmer.

“We must investigate, but we can’t be reckless about this.

Sister Lan often told me that when encountering problems, one should not resort to force.
I have to use my brain. Sister Lan reminded me to look after my mother today.

Could it be that Sister Lan knows something but is just not willing to tell me?

Ah Jin, prepare the horse immediately, I want to go to the palace!"

Ah Jin looked at the sky in embarrassment and advised.

"Your Majesty, it's almost dark. The palace is a little far away.
Even if you ride as fast as you can, you won't be able to get there before the park closes.

Not to mention that even if you arrived, you just paid your respects to the Emperor today.

What should I say if I go there in a hurry now?

Why don't you go back home first and wait patiently? The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away.

The Emperor is going to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet at the temporary palace, it won’t be too late for you to ask Concubine Hua.”

Yunli patted his head. He had just said that he should use his brain, but now he was anxious and couldn't keep his cool.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. But I'm worried about my mother.

According to Sister Lan, my mother has already begged the Emperor.
I want to leave the palace to practice, but the emperor will not agree easily.

So my mother should be safe in the palace for a short period of time.

Then I will go to see Sister Lan on the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner on August 15th!"

In Taohuawu of the Old Summer Palace, Ulanara touched her face which had recovered as before, looked left and right, and felt that her skin was as smooth as a peeled egg, and she was overjoyed.

"Okay, okay. Doctor Nie is indeed a miracle doctor. Jianqiu, look,

I was worried at first, but unexpectedly it got better before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After two and a half months, I can finally go out and meet people! "

Jianqiu held a blooming peony flower in her hand and gently inserted it into the bun behind Ulanara's ear. She looked at Ulanara's delicate face in the mirror and smiled.

"Your Highness is naturally beautiful and in good health, so it will be easy for Doctor Nie to treat her.

Jiang Fuhai just said that after Prince Guo paid his respects to the Emperor today, he rushed to Jingyang Palace. "
