Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

Xia Dongchun arrived at Zhongcui Palace and found that Noble Lady Borjigit had woken up and was sitting on the bed drinking medicine.

Seeing her coming, Borjigit smiled and said, "Why are you here again, sister? I'm fine here."

"How can it be okay?" Xia Dongchun took two steps forward and reached the bed. Zisu quickly moved aside and brought a stool over to Xia Dongchun.

Xia Dongchun watched her finish the medicine and swallow the candied fruit before holding her hand. As soon as she held her hand, Xia Dongchun frowned: "Sister, why are your hands so cold?"

Borjigit Noblewoman forced a smile with a hint of bitterness: "It's okay. It's cold, so it's normal for your hands to be cold. I heard that Concubine Hua became Concubine Nian? And she was confined to the Yikun Palace?"

This topic change was abrupt. Xia Dongchun was afraid that she would be too sad and thought that she didn't want to talk about the child anymore, so she changed the subject: "Yes, Erjiang actually dared to deceive the emperor with a fake prescription. Now Erjiang has run away and cannot be found for the time being. The emperor can only punish Concubine Nian first."

"Concubine Nian..." Noblewoman Borjigit chuckled, "If it weren't for her brother Nian Gengyao still serving in the previous dynasty, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to keep her position as a concubine."

Speaking of this, Xia Dongchun also sighed: "What can we do? I'm afraid that once the confinement is over and Shen Meizhuang recovers, Concubine Nian's former glory will return."

"We can't stop her after all," Borjigit said, still looking pale, but she did not forget to tell Xia Dongchun, "So if the emperor asks you about your opinion of Concubine Nian, you must answer carefully."

Xia Dongchun nodded repeatedly: "I understand, sister, don't worry about me, it's more important to get well soon."

Xia Dongchun talked to her for a while, but when he saw that she looked tired, he left.

When Zi Su came back after sending her out, the noble Borjigit asked her, "You didn't say anything nonsense, did you?"

Zi Su held back her tears and shook her head: "My young lady has instructed me, I dare not say anything. When Concubine Zhao asked me yesterday, I just said that I fell accidentally."

"Hmm..." Noble Borjigit was silent for a moment, then said softly, "It's better if she doesn't know. It's not a good thing anyway."

No one knew that Lady Borjigit had not fallen down at all. She had just drunk a bowl of pregnancy-preserving tonic medicine given by the Empress Dowager.

As smart as she was, she quickly figured out the reason.

This kind of thing cannot be dealt with by one or two people. The only thing she can do is to keep it to herself and not tell anyone.

Just assume that she really fell accidentally and lost the child.

……

Winter was approaching and Concubine Nian had been under house arrest for more than twenty days. In two days, she would be released from house arrest.

Noble Lady Fucha's belly was gradually becoming more noticeable, and she had the imperial kitchen sending her a steady stream of supplements, so she became a lot plumper, but her complexion was not good.

The imperial physician told her that this was normal because the mother was tired from being pregnant.

After hearing this, Noble Lady Fucha became more attentive to her food and seldom went out, for fear of bumping into anything.

As winter came and the weather got colder, Concubine Nian was released from house arrest, and the Empress summoned everyone to Jingren Palace to talk.

Although Concubine Nian was punished, she never lost in front of the Queen, and this time she was late again.

"I haven't seen you for a month. You have lost a lot of weight." The Queen smiled and said casually.

Concubine Nian sneered, stroked the pearls and jade on the head of the banner, and bowed slightly as a greeting: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing very well."

After they sat down, Concubine Nian swept her eyes across everyone's faces. When she saw Zhen Huan, her gaze stopped and said, "Noble Lady Wan looks good, but why do I feel that Noble Lady Wan is not very happy to see me?"

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes and said, "Madam Nian, you are joking. I dare not."

"I think there is nothing you are afraid of!" Concubine Nian said sternly.

The Queen frowned: "Concubine Nian, you just got released from house arrest, do you want to be punished again?"

Concubine Nian glanced at the Queen unconvincedly, but ultimately said nothing more.

"Meow~"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a calico cat running in with its fluffy tail raised.

Zhen Huan was startled, but fortunately she remembered the rules and did not make a fool of herself.

"Matsuko is here." The queen smiled.

Concubine Qi smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for such a long time. Songzi has been taken care of so well by the Queen."

"You are really thoughtful." The Queen praised her and said to everyone, "These pine nuts were originally tribute from Persia. The Emperor gave them to the Third Prince. The Third Prince was a filial child. Seeing that Concubine Qi liked them, he sent them to Concubine Qi. Unexpectedly, the Japanese princess saw them and liked them very much. Concubine Qi then gave the pine nuts to me."

"Oh, look at me, I forgot that Concubine Wan is afraid of cats." The Queen seemed to have just remembered and looked at Zhen Huan with a smile, "Why don't I let them take Songzi away first, so that you won't be scared."

Zhen Huan waved her hands: "As long as your Majesty likes it, I won't read it."

"Okay, I miss Songzi too. Since you say so, I won't ask them to take the cat away." The queen really didn't intend to take the cat away. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Songzi jumped into her arms.

Zhen Huan's smile was forced.

Everyone sat and talked for a while, and then the Queen said, "Okay, it's cold today, I won't delay you all, go back now."

Everyone stood up: "I'll take my leave."

The accident happened in an instant. Songzi suddenly jumped out from the Queen's arms. Zhen Huan, who was walking to the door, was startled. She raised her foot in panic, tripped over the threshold, and bumped into the people around her. The unlucky Concubine Cao was right next to her and accidentally stepped on Songzi's tail after being bumped.

This completely infuriated Songzi. With a "meow", Zhen Huan felt a force pulling and pushing her from behind. She fell out the door. Songzi also pounced on her and scratched her with his claws, then ran away.

"Oh!" Shen Meizhuang, Jingpin, Chun Changzai and An Lingrong all surrounded them.

Xia Dongchun stood aside, looking confused, and hadn't reacted yet.

Concubine Nian was also startled by this sudden change and stood on the other side watching.

"What happened?" The Queen heard the noise and came out. Seeing Zhen Huan fell to the ground holding her neck, she hurriedly asked Jianqiu to call the imperial physician over.

Then he ordered Jingxi to help Zhen Huan up, and everyone went back into the house.

Soon, the imperial physician arrived and saw that Zhen Huan had external injuries, so he prescribed some ointment.

Seeing this, Jingpin said, "Why don't we ask the imperial physician to take her pulse again, just in case something goes wrong."

The imperial physician glanced at the queen and took Zhen Huan's pulse as instructed.

After a moment, the imperial physician knelt down and congratulated: "Congratulations, young lady. Congratulations, young lady."

Chun Changzai was young and said whatever came to his mind. Seeing this, he said with some dissatisfaction: "My sister is injured like this, and you are still congratulating me? Where does the joy come from?"

The imperial physician smiled and said, "The young lady has been pregnant for more than two months."

what?

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhen Huan's belly.

"Are you serious?" the queen asked first.

The imperial physician replied: "This is a matter concerning the heir to the throne, so I dare not speak rashly."

"..." The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Since Concubine Wan is pregnant, Imperial Physician, you must be careful when you prescribe ointments for Concubine Wan."

"Yes, Wei Chen understands."

After Zhen Huan returned, the Queen sent someone to tell Yinzhen the news.

Yinzhen was very happy when he learned that Zhen Huan was pregnant.

Even though Zhen Huan could not sleep with the emperor now, Yinzhen stayed in Suiyuxuan for several days in a row, making others jealous.

Especially Noble Lady Fucha.

But she didn't have the energy to compete with Zhen Huan right now, so after she knew about it, she just sulked for a long time and didn't do anything else.
