Chapter 213 The drama begins, the ban on Concubine Nian is lifted
Soon, it was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, and Fu Cha Zhixi naturally took Fu Zhen to attend the dinner.
Although there were some verbal disputes during the banquet, fortunately Concubine Nian was not present, so it didn't become too unpleasant.
After the banquet, a few days passed.
When Imperial Physician Lin came over to check her and Fu Zhen's pulse, he mentioned that the emperor had summoned many imperial physicians to Qingliang Palace today, and heard that the princess was seriously ill.
He was originally going to go over to take a look, but he didn't want to get into trouble, so he used the excuse of checking Fu Cha Zhixi and Fu Zhen's pulse, and thus avoided the incident.
When Fu Cha Zhixi heard what the other party said, he quickly realized that the good show should start today.
Here, the emperor was teasing the crying little Wen Yi with a small rattle. Seeing his little daughter's face turned red from crying, he felt so distressed.
But no matter how he coaxed the little one, the little one just kept crying. Even if someone else held him and coaxed him, it was of no use. Only when he held him could the little one cry a little more quietly.
"What on earth is going on? Why is Wen Yi crying like this?"
The emperor looked at Wen Yi, whose voice had become hoarse from crying, and he became extremely anxious.
Concubine Cao stood aside and felt very distressed watching Wen Yi in so much pain. She was originally unwilling to accept this plan, but Concubine Nian was so powerful that she even used Wen Yi to threaten her. She had no choice but to suppress her distress and agreed.
Her implementation of this plan could actually allow Wen Yi to suffer less. If Concubine Nian did it herself and didn't take the punishment seriously, poor Wen Yi might suffer even more.
"Why is it that the princess still hasn't shown up?"
The queen looked at the princess with pretended worry and said.
"The imperial physician is useless. He can't even figure out why a little kid is crying like that."
The emperor angrily scolded the imperial physician.
"I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The imperial physician was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize.
"Your Majesty, this child is not like an adult. He cannot speak, so it is naturally more difficult to treat him."
Concubine Nian looked at the emperor's anxious expression and spoke up for the imperial physician in a very understanding manner.
Then she changed the subject and led the conversation to where she wanted.
"The princess hasn't eaten anything these days, except for the water chestnut soup. Why not have someone serve her some water chestnut soup? Maybe she will stop crying after eating her favorite food."
"Alright, let's have some more. Bring more. I see everyone is hungry at this hour."
The emperor thought for a moment and then spoke to Concubine Nian.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will tell someone to do it right away."
Concubine Nian smiled coquettishly at the emperor.
As Zhen Huan watched Concubine Nian walk away, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't notice what was wrong. She could only secretly restrain the emotions in her eyes and think carefully in her heart.
Sure enough, after the princess ate the water chestnut soup, her crying stopped, which made everyone feel relieved.
Seeing this, the emperor gave Concubine Nian a satisfied look, which made Concubine Nian immediately give the emperor a charming smile in return.
Zhen Huan looked at the two people exchanging glances and felt inexplicably embarrassed. She blinked and tried to get rid of the emotion, but she simply couldn't do it.
She couldn't bear to watch the emperor being ambiguous with other women in front of her, and she couldn't accept that this person was trying to harm her and Sister Mei.
In fact, she didn't want to come to Qingliang Palace, but when Concubine Nian asked the emperor to come over, she was playing chess with the emperor. Then she heard that this matter was related to the princess, so she had to come along.
"I see the princess eating so happily, I think she will get better soon."
Seeing that the emperor was still frowning, the queen spoke to him to comfort him with some concern.
"I hope so."
The emperor stirred the water chestnut soup in the bowl and sighed slightly.
"It is Concubine Nian's contribution to Wen Yi's recovery that is significant. She has worked very hard these past few days."
Now that Nian Gengyao was about to return to the court, he saw that Concubine Nian had been much more well-behaved, so he thought of taking this opportunity to lift her house arrest.
"You deserve a reward for your meritorious service. How about this? You don't have to be grounded from today on."
Concubine Nian had not expected such an unexpected surprise. She looked at the Emperor with eyes full of love, and at the same time glanced at Zhen Huan subtly.
The emperor really has me in his heart, otherwise he would not have lifted my house arrest ahead of time.
Zhen Huan tightened her fingers around the porcelain spoon. She and Sister Mei had spent so much effort, and Sister Mei even lost a child, but the Emperor released Concubine Nian so quickly.
Zhen Huan looked at the emperor in disbelief, but the emperor lowered his head and started eating the water chestnut soup, not noticing Zhen Huan's gaze.
Or rather, he noticed Zhen Huan's look, but he didn't think he needed to explain anything to Zhen Huan.
Concubine Nian has now realized her mistake. Does he have to keep her locked up forever?
What's more, Nian Gengyao would be returning to the court soon, and he couldn't keep Concubine Nian under house arrest forever.
Besides, he had only lifted the confinement of Concubine Nian, and the title was not returned to her. He thought he had done his best for Mei'er.
Lady Wan is a considerate person. Now it seems that she just didn't figure it out for a while, or she is just a little young.
It is indeed impossible to find someone in this world who understands me as well as Chun Yuan.
Although the queen was stunned for a moment, she quickly reacted and spoke with a smile.
"That's true. The princess is still young, and Concubine Nian has had a hard time taking care of her for such a long time."
Even though the Queen was speaking for her, Concubine Nian already disdained the Queen's behavior of pretending to be dignified and generous even though she clearly hated her, which was disgusting to watch.
"My dear, this is bad. The princess is still spitting up milk. My dear, please go and check on the princess."
The wet nurse carried the princess and walked quickly to Concubine Cao, speaking in an anxious tone.
"And the princess vomited out all the water chestnut soup she had just eaten."
Concubine Cao was heartbroken by Wen Yi's crying. Even though she knew why, she could tell that her daughter was suffering for real.
Wen Yi is a piece of flesh that fell from her body. How could she feel good when she saw the princess suffering?
So she inevitably hated Concubine Nian. There were obviously better ways to frame Zhen Huan, but in order to save time, she chose this method that would hurt the princess. How could she not hate Concubine Nian?
