Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 488: Ministers' Participation

"The Tubo is just a frontier tribe of the Qing Dynasty. How can they marry the legitimate princess of the Qing Dynasty?"

The emperor was angry. He was angry that he fell ill at this time, and he was also angry that Tubo was so arrogant and provocative.

With Chaogui's status and appearance, it is more than enough for her to marry a small Tubo. It's a pity that I kept her in the hope that she would be of great use in the future. Now, I'm afraid she is of no use at all.

But the emperor didn't know that all this was deliberately arranged by Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan thought the emperor was angry about something, but it turned out to be because Chao Gui married Tubo. Now the matter was much easier.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's all my fault. But I'm just a woman, and I always want to avoid starting a war. I'm not as wise and decisive as your Majesty."

What Nian Shilan has to do now is to admit her mistake. Chao Gui is already married anyway, and the emperor can't do anything to her.

"That's it, get up."

The emperor was no longer angry and let Nian Shilan get up first.

"Doctor Jiang, has the emperor's health improved?"

Nian Shilan also wanted to end the topic quickly, so she turned to look at Jiang Cheng and asked.

The emperor was just angry at the moment. His pulse had already been taken, but Jiang Cheng was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything.

"In reply to the Queen, the Emperor is in good health. He just needs to eat more blood-replenishing and essence-nourishing foods and take good care of himself."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Cheng's words.

It has been more than a month, and now I finally don’t have to take care of my sick son anymore.

But it also means that the power in Nian Shilan's hands should be returned to the emperor.

However, Nian Shilan also knew that now was not a good time for her to seize power, as the emperor was not yet terminally ill.

Besides, now that he has woken up, he must have heard some rumors about what the previous dynasty was like.

However, according to the emperor's plan, it should take a few days. I don't know how Jiang Cheng does things. Could it be that he gave the wrong dosage?

The emperor has just woken up and needs to rest, so there is no need for everyone to stay in the Yangxin Palace for long.

They all retreated.

Prince Guo naturally rode back to Anqi Temple at full speed. Huan'er and E'niang were both there.

Nian Shilan returned to Yikun Palace and called Jiang Cheng over.

"what happened?"

Nian Shilan sent everyone away and asked behind closed doors.

"Empress, I don't know. I just followed your instructions. I don't know why the emperor woke up like this, but because of the difference in weight, some differences are normal."

Jiang Cheng quickly explained: "And the tonics that the emperor drinks every day will conflict with this medicine and reduce its effectiveness."

Listening to Jiang Cheng's words, Nian Shilan also started thinking for herself.

"Get up."

It seems that Nian Shilan's anger has subsided.

What he said was indeed true. Ever since the emperor fell ill, he has been fed several bowls of tonic ginseng soup every day. It is no wonder that he did not wake up after drinking so many tonics.

Fortunately, I slept for more than a month and achieved my goal.

"You can leave now. Oh, and call Zhou Ninghai over."

Since there was nothing to worry about, Nian Shilan asked Jiang Cheng to step down and replaced him with Zhou Ninghai.

"Zhou Ninghai, go tell Zhao Zhiyuan to take the lead in making a memorial when the emperor comes to court."

There is no other meaning. Nian Shilan just can't make the emperor feel that these ministers are convinced by him.

Once this happens, you will be in danger.

"Yes, but Madam, what if..."

Zhou Ninghai was afraid that the emperor would believe it and then punish Nian Shilan, which would mean all his efforts would be wasted.

"It's okay, just do as you are told. I know the emperor's character."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she asked Zhou Ninghai to leave. Zhou Ninghai didn't say anything and left quickly.

The emperor has just woken up, but we have to spread the news quickly. It will be a good idea to get the news out before he goes to court tomorrow so that there are memorials to the emperor.

Zhou Ninghai's work quickly produced results.

From the afternoon until the evening, more than a dozen memorials were submitted one after another.

Yes, this is exactly the effect that Nian Shilan wants.

"Zhou Ninghai, this is a good job."

Nian Shilan said with a smile and rewarded him with an orange.

"I shall serve you faithfully, my lady. That is all I should do."

Zhou Ninghai, who received the reward from Nian Shilan, smiled happily.

But the next second, the emperor came in with a sullen face.

"Your Majesty, good luck."

Nian Shilan didn't have time to react, she quickly knelt down and said, "Why didn't you tell someone to let the emperor know that he was coming?"

Fortunately, I don’t have a child now. Yikun Palace is plotting something. If the emperor hears it, it will be really bad.

"I heard you laughing happily in the room, and I couldn't bear to ask anyone to disturb you."

The emperor's idea was quite thoughtful, but Nian Shilan disagreed.

Aren't emperors the best at disguise?

"I was just praising Zhou Ninghai for his ability. I wanted to eat some crab roe crisps, but the kitchen ran out of them. It was getting late, but Zhou Ninghai still bought some. Naturally, I want to reward him."

How could Nian Shilan not understand what the emperor meant? Wasn't he just asking why the emperor was so happy?

She thought for a while before saying this.

If they were so happy just for a meal, it would also dispel the emperor's doubts.

Now that the emperor is here, it would be inappropriate for Zhou Ninghai to stay in the outer room, so he withdrew first.

"The emperor seems to be in a bad state. Is it because he hasn't recovered well?"

The emperor sat on the couch with a sullen face, not saying a word. He was really frightening to look at.

"It's alright, it's just that I just recovered today, and the previous dynasty was already in turmoil, which really made me upset!"

I guess what the emperor was talking about was the matter of the ministers submitting a memorial to the emperor to impeach Nian Shilan.

I had just woken up and didn't want to deal with so many political affairs.

So even though there were mountains of memorials, I didn't read any of them.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I will keep this in mind. However, I do not want to cause the emperor to worry."

Nian Shilan held the emperor's hand and said comforting words, hoping to bring him some comfort.

"Never mind. It's not really meddling in politics. It's just that this matter has something to do with you."

The emperor was upset just thinking about it, so he paused and said, "They said that you are a woman who made decisions on state affairs without authorization. I must punish you severely!"

But after hearing this, Nian Shilan felt relieved.

"I am willing to be punished. In fact, what the elders of the previous dynasty said is also true. I am just a woman."

Nian Shilan quickly slid down and knelt before the emperor to plead guilty.

"Hurry up, I have no intention of punishing you. I understand your good intentions. If you were not here to preside over the current situation, I'm afraid none of the border tribes would be at peace."
