Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 221 Lipin is frightened

It was also thanks to the Queen's headache that this headache could be used as an excuse for the Queen.

Nian Shilan had made all sorts of calculations, but he forgot to take the Queen's headache into account. The Queen's headache struck just in time.

The queen might be able to get away with this matter completely because of this headache.

After hearing this, the emperor felt a little compassionate: "Queen, I have said before that you should not work too hard on some things. If you are not feeling well, you don't have to do it. Just leave it to the people below. You are the mother of a country. How can you be in poor health?"

I don’t know what the emperor is thinking. Now it sounds like his tone is not as stern as before. Maybe he thinks that the queen has leaked something and has no time to arrange these things, nor does he have time to make friends with Concubine Li?

The Emperor didn't know the Queen's abilities, but Nian Shilan knew them. Saying it was a headache was just an excuse.

Although the Queen said that she had a headache recently, even if the Queen had a headache, her brain was much better than Concubine Li's. Even if the Queen's IQ dropped by 70, Concubine Li would not be able to beat her.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

After a few words, the Queen brought up the matter of Concubine Li. Nian Shilan knew that it was time for her to speak up.

"Your Majesty, since it is Concubine Li, why don't you call her over to ask her? I think since she is from Qixiang Palace, it would be better to call her over to ask her. Since the Empress is not feeling well, we can finish asking her as soon as possible and let her go back to rest."

Nian Shilan thought, since the queen won't say anything, there will always be someone in the palace who can speak up. The queen has a hair problem, so let her rest.

The Queen was reluctant to call Lipin, because that stupid girl would have a hard time explaining herself if she said anything.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be too much of a hassle to ask Lipin to come over now. I think it would be better for me to ask Lipin to go to Jingren Palace to question her."

"Your Majesty, I feel this is inappropriate."

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan quickly interrupted and said, "It's also for the Queen's health. The Queen has been feeling unwell recently, so how can she worry about this matter anymore? It would be better to call them all here today so that we can understand it clearly as soon as possible."

Fortunately, Nian Shilan spoke quickly. The Queen's intention was to get rid of this matter quietly. She couldn't let her succeed like this, otherwise all her efforts would be wasted.

Since she knew that the queen had a headache, why not take advantage of this opportunity?

"Alright."

"Su Peisheng, go and call Lipin over."

The emperor thought deeply for a while, and thought that what Nian Shilan said made sense, so he sent Su Peisheng to convey it.

At this moment, Lipin was also panicking in Qixiang Palace as she heard the noise outside. After all, she was the one who did it. If she was really investigated for this, she didn't know what would happen to her.

Although I followed the Queen's orders, I didn't know whether the Queen would protect me at the critical moment.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Su Peisheng coming over.

A chill rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Linglong, Linglong."

Seeing Nian Su Peisheng walking towards them, Lipin was so scared that she couldn't even speak clearly.

"After Su Peisheng came, you said that I was sick. You said that I was sick and rested, and you didn't want to see anyone."

"Yes."

After saying that, Lipin rushed into the bedroom and hid under the quilt.

Although the quilt was quite thick, one could still see that Concubine Li was shivering.

Linglong didn't know what was going on, but since the empress had given the order, she would definitely do as she was told.

Sure enough, Su Peisheng was stopped outside the door as soon as he arrived.

"Eunuch Su, our queen is ill and has said she won't see visitors. Please go back."

Linglong followed Lipin's instructions and stopped Su Peisheng outside the door, not even letting him in.

Su Peisheng knew something was fishy when he heard this: "Since the queen is ill, the girl should go find a doctor for her. It's not a good idea to stay in the room all the time. Otherwise, the illness will be delayed. It will be a big deal. The queen is in poor health. The emperor will be distressed if he knows."

Su Peisheng is really a shrewd person. There is nothing wrong with what he said. Even Linglong doesn't know how to respond to this sentence.

He just kept repeating that Concubine Li was sick and couldn't see guests.

"Miss, the emperor said that today, Concubine Li has to go whether she wants to or not. Now it is time for me to come and invite you. If it is later, you may not know how to go to the Yangxin Palace. If you are more decent, maybe you can be fine."

Seeing Concubine Li's reaction, Su Peisheng probably knew what was going on. Since he couldn't invite her in a nice way, Su Peisheng snorted in a harsh tone. After all, the task assigned by the Emperor had to be completed.

After hearing what Su Peisheng said, Linglong lost her composure. Su Peisheng's tone did not sound like it was a trivial matter. Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, Su Peisheng was someone close to the emperor after all and she had to give him face.

After a long stalemate, Linglong finally gave in: "Eunuch Su, please wait a moment. I will go and call the queen."

Concubine Li said that she was hiding, but hiding like this was definitely not a solution. After thinking about it, she decided to go. If she really made the emperor angry, not to mention her own life, even her nine clans might be in danger.

"Eunuch Su, has the emperor told you what it is about?" Concubine Li kept testing Su Peisheng along the way.

But I know, it's probably because of the family banquet. There is wailing in the palace now, how could I not know? If I didn't feel sorry for my reproductive function, I should have eaten some cakes earlier. At least now I can really avoid these things.

Even though Concubine Li asked, Su Peisheng just focused on his own pace and said nothing.

The closer they got to the Yangxin Palace, the more panicked Concubine Li became. She clutched her handkerchief tightly all the way and was already covered in cold sweats.

Concubine Li first waited at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace, and Su Peisheng went in first to convey the message.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li has arrived and is waiting at the door."

"Tell her to come in."

Concubine Li was already at the door. Not only was Concubine Li nervous, but even the Queen's heart was in her throat.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Hua."

As soon as Lipin came in, she bowed and greeted everyone one by one, just like any other day. Now I could only rely on myself to remain calm.

I hope there are no flaws.

"Lipin, Eunuch Su has invited you for a long time. We have been waiting here for a long time. The queen is still not well. If anything goes wrong, Lipin should think about whether she can bear it."

As soon as she came in, Nian Shilan started talking, also wanting to give Libin a warning.
