Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 110: The Legend of Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua

It wasn't until Nian Shilan was four months pregnant that she announced her pregnancy. Yongzheng was stunned when he received the news. You know, he didn't want Nian Shilan to have a child before, but now he wanted one. Because he found that he had very few children. The only living children were the third prince Hongshi, the fourth prince Hongli, and the fifth prince Hongzhou who was outside the palace. The only princess was Wen Yi. The main reasons were that the third prince was stupid, the fourth prince was of low birth, and the fifth prince had a ridiculous temper. He didn't have an outstanding heir, and no one in the palace had good news until now. He didn't know if he was being punished by God.

Doctor Zhang was then assigned to ensure the safety of the Imperial Concubine's pregnancy. Meanwhile, Nian Shilan had the two individuals previously assigned to the palace agree to administer some aphrodisiacs to the Emperor, slowly draining his body. In return, they were guaranteed wealth and prosperity for their families outside the palace.

In the blink of an eye, ten months of pregnancy passed, and the birth took place. Imperial Noble Consort Nian Shilan gave birth to twin princes, and the Emperor was overjoyed. He rewarded the Yikun Palace with half a year's salary and even gave the Sixth and Seventh Princes the names Hongyan and Hongzhao on the spot.

The Queen Mother also sent a golden safety lock as a blessing. Zhen Huan got together with Prince Guo because she resented the Emperor's lack of romance. Nian Shilan, who received the news, decided to let it go and deal with them later. On the day when the child was one month old, Nian Shilan received news that the Fourteenth Prince had returned to Beijing secretly. Nian Shilan asked Nian Gengyao, who was outside the palace, to find him immediately and bring him back to the Nian Mansion. If the Emperor knew that the Fourteenth Prince was back, he would definitely be furious. Nian Gengyao told him that he would be able to see the Queen Mother at night, and the Fourteenth Prince stayed in the Nian Mansion obediently. Nian Shilan asked Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai to bring the child to Shoukang Palace.

Zhu Xi stood at the door, greeting Nian Shilan with a smile on his face: "How did the Imperial Concubine find time to come? Come in quickly, the Empress Dowager is waiting to see the Sixth and Seventh Princes."

Nian Shilan walked into the room holding the child with a somewhat nervous look on her face, and said to Zhu Xi, "I have something important to tell the Queen Mother. Don't disturb others first." She asked Zhou Ninghai to guard the door, then handed the child in her arms to Zhu Xi, and quickly walked towards the room where the Queen Mother was.

After entering the room, Nian Shilan bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Highness, how are you these days?"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction. Then she asked anxiously, "Why have you brought these two children to see me today?"

Nian Shilan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Your Majesty, Fourteenth has returned and was found by my brother at the Nian Mansion!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sat up straight with tears in her eyes. "Really? Then where is he now?"

Nian Shilan quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Fourteen has returned to the capital, but this matter still requires further consideration."

The Queen Mother was extremely excited and immediately ordered Zhuxi: "Go and call the Emperor over and tell him the good news."

However, Nian Shilan stopped Zhu Xi and said softly, "Don't be anxious, Queen Mother. This matter should not be publicized."

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Nian Shilan in confusion: "Why is this?"

Nian Shilan: "The Emperor won't let you see him, and you'll be threatened. You should know that the Emperor is using you to threaten the Fourteenth Master."

The Queen Mother finally calmed down, a trace of helplessness and sadness flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "That's right. If he knew, my Fourteenth would definitely be punished... It's a pity that I don't know if I'll have the chance to see my Fourteenth again..."

Nian Shilan looked at the empress dowager's dejected expression and couldn't help but feel a surge of pity in her heart. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wait for me here in the middle of the night. Have Zhuxi guard Shoukang Palace. I can find a way to take you to see the Fourteenth Master."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother showed an expression of disbelief on her face. She widened her eyes and asked, "Really?" However, Nian Shilan did not answer her question, but silently took the child out of the room.

The Queen Mother stood there, watching Nian Shilan's departing back, her heart filled with anticipation and gratitude. She didn't know if Nian Shilan would actually be able to take her to see the Fourteenth Master, but at least there was a glimmer of hope. As Nian Shilan left the room, a heavy feeling settled over her. She knew this might cause trouble, but seeing the Queen Mother's eager eyes, she couldn't refuse. She decided to take her there to see what she wanted, as it would help her plan.

The moon was dark and the wind was strong, and Yikun Palace was completely silent. Nian Shilan, dressed in her nightgown, said solemnly to Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai, "You must guard Yikun Palace and not let anything go wrong." Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai replied in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Nian Shilan turned and exchanged a glance with the Queen Mother. In a flash, they both vanished into the night like ghosts, their figures darting across the palace rooftops like two shooting stars.

Soon, Nian Shilan and the Queen Mother arrived at the Nian Mansion. Seeing them, the guards immediately knelt in greeting. They walked straight into the mansion and arrived at Nian Gengyao's study.

The Fourteenth Prince and Nian Gengyao were chatting in the study. When they heard footsteps, they looked up and saw Nian Shilan and the Queen Mother with a look of surprise on their faces. The Queen Mother walked quickly to the Fourteenth Prince and said, "Fourteenth Prince, Mother misses you so much." The Fourteenth Prince stood up, hugged the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, I miss you too. I heard that you were seriously ill, and Fourth Brother wouldn't let me come back to see you, so I had to come back secretly." The Queen Mother told him that Yongzheng wanted to kill the Fourteenth Prince and asked him to be careful. The Fourteenth Prince said he knew. She also told her son about the deal she had made with Nian Shilan. She only wanted her son to live well. Then she left the Nian Mansion. When they returned to the palace, it was almost dawn. Nian Shilan just wanted to have a good rest, so she had the gate of Yikun Palace closed, saying that she was not feeling well and needed to rest. Yongzheng received the news and asked Su Peisheng to find some tonic herbs from the warehouse to send to the Imperial Noble Consort Nian Shilan.
