This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 124 The Queen Suffers from Hysteria

Jianqiu looked out the window. It was pitch black. There was no Honghui. Could it be that the Queen was suffering from hysteria?

Jianqiu thought of the rumor that had been circulating among the palace ladies recently. The ghosts of Huixiang and Xiaoyuzi, who died in the Ministry of Punishment, often floated around the palace where Lipin lived. Later, the shadow of Kang Luhai appeared.

The ghost was said to be floating near the Qixiang Palace in the Forbidden City. I thought it had moved to the Old Summer Palace and this nonsense should have disappeared.

Unexpectedly, there were palace servants who said that they saw with their own eyes the three ghosts following Concubine Li to Tongleyuan.

Jianqiu felt a little goosebumps on her spine, and she asked tremblingly, "My queen, are you thinking about the eldest prince again?"

“Yes, if Honghui had grown up to now, he would definitely be taller and more handsome than the Third Prince, and he would definitely be much better at studying than the Third Prince.” Yixiu was still staring out the window, looking at the inky black rainy night outside.

"The eldest prince must be much smarter than the third prince." Jianqiu felt relieved when she saw that the queen was just a little crazy.

"Yes, Honghui could read when he was two years old. The Third Prince can't compare to him at all."

"When your majesty is in her prime, she will surely give birth to another prince."

"I am already over 40 years old and am no longer fit to bear children. Moreover, after my sister's death, the Emperor no longer treats me the same way as before. I know my own body and I am afraid I can no longer bear children."

Jianqiu bit her lip and thought for a long time before trying to come up with words of comfort. In fact, she really wanted to say, the emperor loves no one but himself, so please wake up.

"The emperor doesn't say it, but he still respects the queen in his heart."

"Oh, if a woman can't get her husband's love, what's the point of being respected? Even the Dongzhu that belongs to the queen can be given to Hua Fei by the emperor at will. What's the point of me being the queen?"

The emperor said in front of her a few days ago that he and Concubine Hua have been in love for many years, so she should also be considerate of her brother.

Husband and wife love each other deeply! Husband and wife love each other deeply! You are husband and wife, so what am I!

Jianqiu: You are so clear-headed that I don’t know what to say.

"Jianqiu, you came here with me. How does the emperor treat me compared to how he treated my sister in the past?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Emperor was very kind to you before Empress Chunyuan entered the palace." Jianqiu felt that she really couldn't say such a conscience-breaking statement.

"No matter how good the emperor is to me, he is not as good as he is to my sister. The same goes for the queen mother. Isn't Cao Qinmo's death a warning to me?"

"And the Queen Mother sent Zhusheng to look after Shen Meizhuang's baby. Even when I was pregnant with Honghui, the Queen Mother didn't value me this much."

"After all, I am a concubine's daughter, unlike my sister who is a legitimate daughter. Now, all the women in the palace are legitimate daughters of their respective families. Even An Lingrong, the daughter of a county magistrate, is a legitimate daughter."

"So what? Now these legitimate daughters have to submit to you, Your Majesty, and pay their respects to you." Jianqiu finally said something fluently.

"As the queen, I am the mother of the country, but why can't I even protect my own child?"

Jianqiu: It’s not enough to comfort me at all.

"It's all my sister's! It's my sister's children who killed Honghui!"

Yixiu felt her head hurting more and more as the sound of rain got heavier. Ever since the night Honghui died, Yixiu had suffered from headaches. She would get a headache whenever she thought of Honghui.

It was also a rainy day like this when Honghui died, but on such a rainy day, his father was accompanying his sister!

Even now, the emperor has never missed Honghui as much as she does. The only person he is thinking about is Zhen Huan, who looks like her sister!

Kill them! Let them all go to the underground to be buried with Honghui!

Yixiu had a splitting headache and felt murderous. There was thunder and lightning outside the window and Yixiu burst into tears.

Why am I the only one who still remembers Honghui? The emperor is so ruthless!

No, no, don’t blame the emperor. The emperor is my husband. What could he do wrong?

It was all those vixen women, women like my sister, who seduced the emperor and made him forget his child Honghui.

"Jianqiu, my head hurts so much!" The queen held Jianqiu's hand tightly, trying to find some support to hold herself up.

Jianqiu looked at the young lady whom she had followed since childhood in such pain. She was deeply trapped in it, unable to solve the problem and felt powerless.

On such a rainy night, Taohuawu is destined to be sleepless.

Hua Fei, because she had good food and drink and slept enough, got up early for a rare occasion. She asked Song Zhi to put on some fresh and beautiful summer makeup for her so that she could go and pay her respects to the Queen.

I woke up in a good mood today, so I have to report to the Queen. The tasks she has assigned to Fuzi recently are all good jobs that even the first-class palace maids can't ask for.

Concubine Hua was looking in the bronze mirror and demonstrating how to insert a jade hairpin with excellent water content into her hair bun. Zhou Ninghai's limping figure was reflected in the bronze mirror.

This dog slave walks steadily, so something big or small must have happened.

Concubine Hua was already able to judge the severity of an emergency based on Zhou Ninghai's footsteps.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Hua was still in high spirits. When it came to beauty, she could only be more particular in this life than in her previous one.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Taohuawu that the ladies are exempt from paying respects today. The Queen had a headache all night and couldn't get out of bed."

Concubine Hua paused while holding the hairpin.

Another headache? No one has hired her recently, who should she show her headache to?

"Your Majesty, this is really a headache. All the doctors on duty at the Imperial Hospital have gone, and Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing have also gone to attend to the patient."

Concubine Hua tilted her head slightly to admire her jade hairpin in the bronze mirror to see if it was crooked. "Oh? Then I will also go to see the Empress and fulfill my duty as a concubine."

"Let's go to Taohuawu." Concubine Hua stretched out her jade hand which had been covered with pearl powder yesterday. Songzhi took it and they stood up and left the Qingliangtai.

When he arrived at Taohuawu, Jiang Fuhai saw Concubine Hua dressed in a glamorous manner and felt that she had bad intentions.

If the Empress saw Concubine Hua dressed up like this to visit the patient, she would probably have a headache for a few more nights.

So, when Concubine Hua approached and was about to enter the main hall of Taohuawu, Jiang Fuhai stood in front of Concubine Hua and stopped her.

"Empress Hua, the Queen has a headache and cannot see you ladies. Empress Hua, please go back first."

Hua Fei's watery eyes were filled with a cold and indifferent look that looked down upon everyone. She stretched out her hand and pointed her index finger at Jiang Fuhai's hat and feather.

Once, again, and again.

With every click, Concubine Hua took a step forward, and Jiang Fuhai had to take a step back.

"The Empress is not feeling well, and Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi are able to come visit her, but why can't I? Did I do something wrong to annoy the Empress?"

Queen: There is nothing right about you. Your very existence is wrong!

Hua Fei: Believe it or not, I can slap you away with one palm.

"Jiang Fuhai, you should be careful when you answer. You are the chief eunuch beside the Queen, and what you say is what the Queen thinks. You can't be a dog slave who has a grudge against me and is framing the Queen."

"I have always been on good terms with the Empress, and I personally presented the precious pearls to her. How can you, a dog, have the right to make irresponsible remarks here? Get out of my way!"

As Concubine Hua was talking, she recalled that in her previous life she was stopped by that bastard Jiang Fuhai at the gate of the Queen's Palace.

If I were to live my life again, how could I still rely on you, a watchdog, to stop me?
