"Eunuch Xiao Xia, my condition is very serious. Please go to the Yangxin Palace and report to the Emperor."
There was an abnormal blush on Nian Shilan's pale face. One of her arms hung limply on the side of the bed. Her fingers trembled slightly. She begged Xiao Xiazi in a hoarse and dry voice to ask the emperor to come over.
Jiang Shen also chimed in:
"Young Master Nian has an evil wind entering his body, and there is also a buildup of pent-up anger in his chest. The combination of the two may have damaged his heart and lungs. Please report the truth to me, eunuch."
Xiao Xiazi was very depressed. His master had just told him yesterday that the Emperor would allow him to return to his court after the beginning of spring. But today, Concubine Nian suddenly fell ill. The imperial physician said that the illness was lingering, so he was afraid that there would be twists and turns in his transfer, so he quickly agreed.
After Lingzhi watched Xiao Xiazi leave completely at the door of the bedroom, she turned and went into the bedroom, nodded to the nobleman, and then returned to the door to stand guard.
Seeing this, Jiang Shen knew that Noble Nian had something else to tell him, so he lowered his head and asked respectfully:
"Does your Excellency have any other instructions?"
Nian Shilan felt a piercing pain in her lungs with every breath she took. Her body was burning with fever and she was losing her mind. However, there was a breath in her heart that supported her so that she could not fall down. She exhaled hot air, stared at her red and swollen eyes, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"I want you to help me test something. After this is done, I will not look for you again. I will also never tell anyone about your two brothers bringing poison into the palace to poison Concubine Wan and giving Concubine Hui a fake pregnancy recipe."
This sentence was like a life-threatening shackle hanging over Jiang Shen's head. He was not as smooth and experienced as Jiang Cheng in dealing with things. Nian Shilan's threat made him panic and he couldn't help asking:
"What does your Excellency want me to check?"
"Where does the musk in Huan Yi incense come from?"
Nian Shilan was very calm when she said this, as quiet as the wind blowing gently, but it was like a death warrant to Jiang Shen's ears. He was not very shrewd and his face changed immediately, and he blurted out:
"How did your Majesty know?" In panic he actually used the old name.
Before Jiang Shen's coming, Nian Shilan had been hypnotizing herself in her heart. Maybe everything that happened last night was just a dream. But Jiang Shen's reaction now completely shattered the last remaining fantasy in her heart. A trace of chill rose slowly from the soles of her feet to her heart, and then gradually spread to her limbs and bones, making her body, which was originally hot on the outside and cold on the inside, feel like falling into an ice cellar. She heard the sound of her teeth chattering:
"I want to know everything. If you dare to hide anything, I will report to the emperor and kill your entire family!"
Later, she heard the sound of Jiang Shen kowtowing repeatedly. The carpet in Yikun Palace was thick, and the sound sounded muffled, hitting her heart again and again, and it hurt her so much that her whole body felt like it was being scraped by a knife.
Why is it so painful? Why is it so dirty? Nian Shilan regretted asking Jiang Shen to come. Everything would still be fine if he hadn't come. However, he used his floating voice to shatter the illusions of the past few years bit by bit, and gave Nian Shilan a fact full of deception and lies, and even tragic and bloody facts.
A mouthful of boiling blood gushed out from her chest. Amid the terrified screams of Jiang Shen and Lingzhi, Nian Shilan calmly reached out her hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, just like wiping away her years of passionate love.
"Everyone, shut up. Doctor Jiang, I need to get better as soon as possible. Thank you for your help."
Jiang Shen saw Nian Shilan vomiting blood in anger after hearing the truth about Huan Yixiang, and was shaking with fear. He estimated that he would not be able to leave Yikun Palace safely today. He only hoped that today's incident would not involve his family. Now he heard that Noble Nian wanted to use tiger and wolf medicine, and he trembled with fear again:
"This kind of prescription will harm your body's foundation, my lady, please think twice."
Her heart was still aching, so Nian Shilan gently pressed her hand on her chest and said softly:
"It's okay. I can bear it."
Just a few words made the slow-witted Jiang Shen aware of the change in Mr. Nian. He had been practicing medicine for many years and most patients who made up their minds would be as calm as Mr. Nian. However, his fear of Mr. Nian was engraved in his heart. He did not dare to look up and get to the bottom of it, so he had to pick up the pen and write a prescription.
The people in the Yangxin Palace were completely unaware of the shocking changes that had taken place in the Yikun Palace.
Su Peisheng did not dare to conceal the fact that Noble Lady Nian was ill. He bowed quietly and went to the palace to report.
He looked up quietly and saw the Emperor reviewing memorials and Concubine Wan grinding ink beside him.
Although Su Peisheng's footsteps were very light, the emperor still caught them keenly. He looked up and asked:
"what's wrong?"
Su Peisheng reported Xia Zi's words truthfully: "Your Majesty, Noble Nian is ill. The imperial physician said that the condition is severe and may have damaged her heart and lungs."
The emperor paused while reviewing the memorial, and then said:
"Go and see if there is anything missing."
Su Peisheng looked up at Zhen Huan, whose face was as calm as water, and then responded and did it.
This little episode soon calmed down, and the only sound in the Yangxin Palace was the rubbing of ink sticks in the inkstone. The sizzling sound made the emperor feel a little annoyed, and after a while he threw the memorial in his hand on the table in annoyance.
A "pop" sound caused Zhen Huan to stop what she was doing. She took two steps forward to smooth out the memorial, then put it aside and spoke softly:
"Since Your Majesty is worried, why not go and take a look?"
The emperor was a little worried when his thoughts were exposed, but his expression remained normal. He laughed dryly:
"I want to see the Queen Mother. Why don't you come with me?"
The emperor's casual invitation seemed more like a cover-up for his guilty conscience. Besides, Zhen Huan had to go back to keep an eye on the Yikun Palace, so she declined:
"The Emperor is talking to the Empress Dowager about the love between mother and son. It would be inappropriate for me to be around. I have made a pair of winter boots for the Empress Dowager in the palace. When the work is finished, I will go to show my filial piety."
Seeing that Zhen Huan did not feel resentful because of the Queen Mother's alienation, the emperor's suspicion disappeared, and he said approvingly:
"It's rare that you have such a heart. I will definitely tell you about your filial piety. In that case, you can go first."
Zhen Huan had already achieved the purpose of her visit today, so she did not stay any longer after hearing this.
Coming out of the Palace of Mental Cultivation, the clouds were gathering, the sky was low, and a heavy snow was about to come.
When Su Peisheng brought Xiao Xia Zi to Yiku Palace, Jiang Shen was boiling medicine, and there was no sign of abnormality on Lingzhi's face.
Nian Guiren half leaned on the pillow, his cheeks flushed, his eyes moist, and he coughed from time to time. When he saw Su Peisheng coming, his eyes lit up with joy:
"Eunuch Su, did the emperor ask you to come? Where is the emperor?"
"The emperor was busy with government affairs and couldn't spare the time, so he asked me to come and see if you are feeling better. Is there anything you need?"
The light in Nian Shilan's eyes dimmed little by little: "Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Su. Doctor Jiang is making medicine now. I think he will be well in a few days."
Su Peisheng felt relieved when he saw that her complexion was normal. He then asked Jiang Shen in detail about her condition before returning to report.
After Su Peisheng left, Nian Shilan's face instantly turned cold and stern. The cruel truth made her, who had been spoiled for many years, finally learn to be scheming.
There was heavy snow at night, and nobleman Nian fell into a deep sleep under the effect of the medicine.
Meanwhile, the two brothers of the Jiang family in the city were hastily packing their luggage with their families. They wanted to be the first group to leave the city when the city gates opened, and from then on live in seclusion in a foreign land and never dare to get involved in the secret affairs of the harem again.
A huge change that is beyond everyone's expectations is about to happen.
