The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 520 Fight to the death
When Concubine Xin entered the hall, Nian Shilan was sitting upright. Concubine Xin greeted Nian Shilan with a worried look on her face.

Year of the Landau.

"Please sit down. You rarely come here, and I thought you were afraid of me."

Just as Concubine Xin sat down and was about to stand up again, Nian Shilan waved her hand.

"Just sit still and don't stand up."

Concubine Xin then spoke cautiously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You must be joking. How could I be afraid of you?
I am just a humble concubine, and I dare not disturb your peace."

Nian Shilan stared into Concubine Xin's eyes and laughed.

"You shouldn't be like this. I remember you were very bright when you first entered the palace.

I am not afraid of who is higher or lower in status, I can talk to anyone."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xin smiled bitterly, was silent for a long while, and then spoke as if she had made up her mind.

"I came here today because I don't come to the temple for no reason. I will tell you the truth, Your Majesty.

The table and small table in the concubine's inner room have been smashed by the concubine."

Nian Shilan said in surprise.

"Why is that? I remember that your inner chamber was replaced with Huanghuali wood by the Ministry of Internal Affairs not long ago.

Because you were in the temporary palace at the time, and later when the emperor returned, the Ministry of Internal Affairs specially moved you to the Chuxiu Palace."

Concubine Xin raised her head and said.

"Your Majesty has a good memory. I was grateful in the past, and I am grateful for it.

But before I had the miscarriage, my nose was unusually sensitive and I always smelled a strange fragrance.

After the miscarriage, I couldn't smell it anymore. By chance, I smelled it again today.
I couldn't suppress my curiosity any more, so I asked someone to split the table in half.

Who would have thought that it was actually hollow inside and filled with spices, one of which was musk!

Your Majesty should know that musk alone can cause great harm to a woman's body!

Especially pregnant women, you must not touch them! Poor concubine's child"

When Concubine Xin got excited, she covered her face and cried.

Nian Shilan seemed to have known it for a long time, he just sighed and said.

"Since you have discovered it yourself, I can no longer hide it from you."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xin looked up in surprise, and even forgot about her sadness. She listened to Nian Shilan's words, not understanding what they meant.

"My lady, what you said is..."

Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Xin's eyes and knew that she had misunderstood her and thought it was Nian Shilan.

"You misunderstood me. Do you remember that before you had a miscarriage, Doctor Wen examined your pulse and said that there were traces of musk in your body?"

Concubine Xin said anxiously.

"Of course I remember, but for some reason, the matter was forgotten later!"

Nian Shilan nodded.

“It’s not that it’s over, but I’ve intentionally suppressed the matter.

I only found out two days ago that there might be something wrong with the furnishings in your house.

But I dare not act rashly and report to the Emperor.

Firstly, I am pregnant now, so it is not appropriate for me to go to your inner room to check.

Secondly, even if I find out something, I am temporarily unable to bring down the person who harmed you.

After thinking it over again and again, I can only keep silent.
I choose to protect myself for the time being. I hope you won’t blame me.”

Xin Guiren was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the only person in the harem that even Concubine Hua could not overthrow was the Queen!

Concubine Xin already had some vague guesses in her mind before, but she was still shocked when she heard Nian Shilan reveal it today.

"But, everything in this harem belongs to her! What else is she not satisfied with?

She wants to harm my child? My poor child has already grown into a baby! How can she bear it? "

Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Xin's agitated expression quietly and said.

"It would be fine if you gave birth to a princess, but what if it's a prince?"

Concubine Xin said in a daze.

"Yes, brother, if I give birth to a brother."

All the women in the palace knew that if they gave birth to a prince, wouldn't it be possible for the mother to gain honor by having a son, since there were only the third and fourth princes in the palace?
Concubine Xin was stunned for a moment and then said hatefully.

"If I hadn't discovered it today, I would have died someday!
I came here just to ask the Imperial Concubine for some help.
I tried to find a way to replace the table that I had broken, but now that I knew what was going on,
Even if I am just a tiny ant, I will never let her step on me like this!"

Nian Shilan's eyes were gradually filled with admiration. She waved to Concubine Xin, and Concubine Xin stood up and walked over.

Nian Shilan whispered something in her ear for a long time, and Concubine Xin could only nod repeatedly.

When Concubine Xin left Yiku Palace, she no longer had the gloomy look she had when she came in. She just hurried back to her Chuxiu Palace.

At night, Nian Shilan sent someone to pick out a set of huanghuali tables from his small storehouse and send them to Chuxiu Palace. He also carried back the tables that were broken by Concubine Xin and ordered people to lock them up and not allow others to touch them.

The first day of September was the day to pay respects to Lady Ulanara, and all the concubines in the palace dressed carefully and went to Jingren Palace.

But the Empress Dowager De's Yonghe Palace was in a mess. She smashed the medicine bowl sent by the Imperial Hospital early in the morning, and the medicine seeped onto the expensive carpet on the floor.

Zhuxi sighed and squatted down to clean up, but Zhile stepped forward to stop Zhuxi and said.

"Aunt, please let me do it. The Queen Mother is in a bad mood and needs your help to comfort her."

Empress Dowager De sneered as she listened to Zhile's words.

"Now even you want to laugh at me? If the emperor doesn't come to my place,
Do you think you can get away with it? You will just wait to die with me!"

Zhile still had a few pieces of broken porcelain in his hand, and he knelt down hurriedly.

"I dare not! The Queen Mother can punish me as you wish. I only ask you to vent your anger.
Don't get yourself hurt by anger, I just want the best for the Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager De stared at the kneeling Zhile and was stunned for a moment. Her earlier angry expression calmed down a little.

"Forget it, get up. Go and get the queen in a minute. I heard she's recovered from her illness."

Zhile asked with some difficulty.

"Today is the first day of the new year, a big day for the whole palace to pay respects to the emperor. I'm afraid the Empress's visit hasn't finished yet."

Seeing that Empress Dowager De seemed to be about to have another attack, Zhuxi hurried forward and pushed Zhile, signaling her to go down first.

Zhuxi moved closer to Queen Mother De and patted her back in time.

"Don't be upset, Queen Mother. Zhile is still young and can't speak.

I will go and ask the Queen to come in a moment. Even if the Queen is very busy,

If the Queen Mother summons her, she has to come."

Empress Dowager De was relieved and nodded.

"I have been dreaming about Fourteen these days, and I feel a pain in my heart when I wake up.

I think of the culprit who killed Fourteen again, haha,
She, Nian, is living a carefree life! Isn't the Queen anxious too?

The servant I sent out last time has not sent any more letters back.

I heard that he died suddenly, which shows that Nian’s methods were very powerful.

I have no one to rely on now, so I have no choice but to fight her to the death!"
