Chapter 373: The Fox Goddess Who Was Calculated During the Tribulation 22
While Han Chan was away, she deliberately transferred her divine power into Concubine Chen's body.
At the same time, he took out Yuchan and placed it in Concubine Chen's hands.
As soon as Yu Chan was put down, she was held tightly by Concubine Chen. Ah Zhi looked at Concubine Chen with her eyes closed.
"I know that although you are in a coma, you are still conscious. Your son has been found."
"If you completely close your eyes now, won't that let those people get what they want? You will never be able to find your son again."
This sentence really worked. Concubine Chen's hand holding Yuchan trembled slightly, and soon Hanchan came back with the silver needle.
But Ah Zhi looked at the silver needle and did not act rashly. She calmly asked Han Chan, "Where did you get this silver needle from? Did you meet anyone on the way?"
This question made Han Chan stunned. After all, she had been with Concubine Chen for so many years, so Han Chan immediately understood the implication of Azhi's words.
She asked Ah Zhi, "Madam, is this not interesting? Is there something wrong with the needle? I got the needle from the Imperial Hospital, and I didn't meet anyone else on the way."
Thinking that many people in the palace regarded Concubine Chen as a thorn in their side, Han Chan had already realized at this moment that the silver needle was most likely replaced by someone.
Ah Zhi wrapped up the silver needles and said, "These silver needles have been tampered with and are covered with a layer of poison. If you really use the silver needles to acupuncture the queen, you will die in an instant. The poison on them is very strong."
Now Han Chan really felt his hands and feet were cold.
Poison? Such a powerful and fierce poison?
If I had not been careful and used the poisonous silver needle on Concubine Chen, the consequences would have been disastrous.
She said with resentment in her eyes, "No, this matter must be reported to His Majesty. If these people succeed, then Her Majesty will be beyond redemption, right?"
Before Han Chan went to find Li Xian to complain, the shrill and piercing voice of the eunuch was heard outside the door.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
This really saves Han Chan the trouble of making a trip.
Every day when Li Xian has free time, he will come to Guanju Palace, and today is no exception.
When Han Chan heard that Li Xian came to see Concubine Chen, he immediately knelt down towards Li Xian who had just entered the room.
She shouted to Li Xian, "Your Majesty, you must take care of the queen. Madam Yu came to the palace to treat the queen today and has found the cause of her illness."
"I only needed to use the silver needles to treat the Majesty, but I didn't expect that the silver needles I got from the Imperial Hospital were smeared with poison. This is undoubtedly an attempt to kill the Majesty."
After Han Chan finished speaking, tears welled up on her face.
Li Xian stared at her in disbelief and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true. Madam Yu can testify to this!"
At this time, Li Xian looked at Azhi beside him.
"Are you Yu Youzi who took down the imperial edict today? Are you the one who discovered that someone wanted to harm the imperial concubine?"
Ah Zhi stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Li Xian, saying, "It is me. The silver needle that Miss Han Chan went to get was indeed tampered with. Your Majesty, please ask the imperial doctors in the palace to investigate thoroughly."
"Okay, I'll have someone conduct a thorough investigation. You treat the imperial concubine first."
With Li Xian sitting next to Guanju Palace to take charge, things went much more smoothly afterwards.
An hour later, Concubine Chen slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the jade cicada in her palm and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
"I heard everything you said."
Han Chan saw that Concubine Chen had woken up and was energetic enough to sit up.
This made Han Chan happy and he wanted to go out and call Li Xian in.
However, Concubine Chen called out to Han Chan in advance.
"Han Chan, please don't tell His Majesty yet. I've woken up. I want to have a good talk with Madam Yu first."
With Concubine Chen's instructions, Han Chan nodded and left the room first.
There was no one else in the room. Concubine Chen grabbed Azhi's hand and was very excited.
"Tell me where this jade cicada bead came from. Do you know where my son is?"
Just now, because Han Chan was beside her, Concubine Chen did not show any excessive excitement.
Now, she and Azhi were the only ones left in the room, and she couldn't help but ask Azhi questions.
At this time, Ah Zhi said to Concubine Chen, "I do know where the Third Prince is. I think this jade cicada was given to him by the Queen."
Concubine Chen held Yuchan tightly and nodded gently.
"You saved me, so I guess you know my true identity."
Just as Azhi guessed, Concubine Chen was the incarnation of the Jade Cicada from Changbai Mountain.
It is not easy for this jade cicada to cultivate into a human form. Only after thousands of years of sleepless practice can it have the opportunity to complete its cultivation.
At the beginning, Concubine Chen calculated that she had a great responsibility, and she agreed to Li Xian's position as Concubine on the spot, just to complete her own mission.
I just didn't expect that giving birth to a child is just the first step, but raising a child is so difficult.
In order to find her royal son, Concubine Chen has exhausted all her energy over the years, otherwise she would have wanted to return to Changbai Mountain to continue her practice.
It’s just that the Jade Cicada clan is too special. The Jade Cicada was originally a divine insect from the world of immortals, but was punished by being sent down to the human world for stealing elixirs.
In order to make up for the mistake, one cannot practice easily. Only one in ten thousand jade cicadas has the talent for practice.
Even if one has the talent for cultivation, it does not mean that one can become an immortal. So far, only Concubine Chen has succeeded in her cultivation.
Those jade cicadas that failed to cultivate successfully died long ago, and the dead jade cicadas will become a thumb-sized jade cicada bead.
It was the Jade Cicada Pearl in the hands of Concubine Chen. She lost her child and was trapped in the deep palace for many years and could not return to Changbai Mountain.
He can only use the Jade Cicada Pearl to prolong his life so that he can live like a normal person.
Concubine Chen looked at the Jade Cicada Pearl in her hand and said sadly, "If it weren't for the people of the world, if it weren't for those people who are practicing, I would have wanted to stay here a long time ago."
At this time, Ah Zhi said to Concubine Chen, "This jade cicada bead is a personal item of my husband. My husband was an orphan since childhood. He was picked up and raised by an old man when he was a baby. Now he has come to the capital with me..."
Before Ah Zhi could finish her words, Concubine Chen grabbed her excitedly and asked, "Really? You didn't lie to me? Is this thing really your husband's? How old is he? What does he look like? Have you been doing well these years?"
The voice in her heart was telling Concubine Chen that Azhi’s husband might be her missing son.
Whenever she thought about the fact that she had found her lost child, the shackles in Concubine Chen's heart seemed to loosen a little.
Ah Zhi whispered to Concubine Chen, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and take a look yourself? Some things still need your personal verification. Similarly, you need to ask about his past yourself. It's hard for me to tell you."
Concubine Chen released her hand and nodded excitedly. If Ah Zhi hadn't known Concubine Chen's age, she would not have been able to tell that she was Nancy Tang's biological mother.
It’s simply because Concubine Chen is too young. Li Xian just now already has white hair and can be seen as a middle-aged man.
The Imperial Concubine Chen in front of him looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen, except that she had a slightly weak complexion. Only her beautiful eyes carried her own story.
Azhi was placed in Guanju Palace by Concubine Chen, and Li Xian had already learned the news that Concubine Chen had woken up.
Concubine Chen couldn't wait to see Nancy Hall, so she immediately asked Li Xian to bring Nancy Hall into the palace.
At first, Nan Xitang had no idea why she was summoned to the palace for no apparent reason.
However, when he heard that Azhi was waiting for him in the palace, Nan Xitang immediately realized that it was Azhi who came to the palace to help him.
Thinking of this, he entered the palace with mixed feelings.
As soon as he entered the palace, he was brought before Li Xian.
When Li Xian saw Nancy Tang, he already knew that the other person was his third prince.
He stepped forward, looked at Nancy Tang's features and nodded repeatedly, then raised his hand to stop Nancy Tang from saluting.
"Yes, exactly the same, yes, that's right."
Nan Xitang has all the best features of Li Xian and Concubine Chen, especially her eye color which is exactly the same as Concubine Chen.
This Imperial Concubine Chen is a jade cicada that has transformed into a human form. She is no different from ordinary people in other aspects except for the color of her pupils, which are brown with a slight hint of green.
Normally you can’t see it unless you get close to it. You can only see it clearly when you look closely at it. This is a feature that others cannot learn.
Nan Xitang was not panicked when facing Li Xian's gaze, but just stood there calmly with her head slightly lowered.
This made Li Xian very satisfied with Nancy Tang, and he believed that he was indeed the son he had high hopes for.
Li Xian asked Nancy Tang, "Do you know why I came to you?"
Seeing that the other person looked somewhat similar to herself, Nan Xitang certainly knew why Li Xian was looking for her.
However, he still chose to pretend to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. Sometimes being ignorant can help solve problems better.
"My wife came to the palace to treat the Imperial Concubine. I think His Majesty summoned me to the palace for this matter."
Li Xian did not reveal the truth right away, and Guan Gonggong at the side reminded him, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has sent a message, wanting to ask whether Nancy Tang has entered the palace. The Imperial Concubine is holding on and waiting in the palace."
Li Xian treated all women in the palace equally, except for Concubine Chen, whom he really cared about.
As soon as he heard that Concubine Chen was still waiting for Nancy Tang, he immediately had someone take Nancy Tang to Guanju Palace.
Originally, Concubine Chen had just recovered from a serious illness and was in good health. This was the time for her to lie in bed and have a good rest.
When Concubine Chen saw Nancy Tang slowly approaching, she could no longer contain herself and stood up excitedly.
The Yuchan clan has some kind of special sense. After all, Nancy Tang is the child of Concubine Chen.
Even though half of his blood came from Li Xian, when Nan Xitang approached Concubine Chen, she still felt the closeness from him.
"You are my prince, you are really my prince."
Looking at Nancy Tang's eyes that were identical to her own, Concubine Chen burst into tears.
Azhi on the side cast a reassuring look towards Nancy Tang.
However, looking at her young and beautiful biological mother, Nancy Tang was still a little confused at this moment.
In fact, Concubine Chen was much younger than he had imagined.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, but Concubine Chen kept talking to Nancy Tang.
At first, Nancy Tang was a little reserved, but after listening to Concubine Chen's story, he unconsciously relaxed a little.
Because Azhi was worried about Nan Nian, she asked Concubine Chen to send her out of the palace.
Nancy Hall was left behind by Li Xian and Concubine Chen.
It was so hard to be reunited, so the two of them were naturally reluctant to see Nancy Hall leave.
On the way out of the palace, Azhi was still sitting in the sedan chair, but was stopped when she was walking on the palace road.
Guan Gonggong's voice sounded outside.
"I have met the Fourth Prince. I wonder why he stopped the sedan chair?"
The fourth prince?
Ah Zhi stroked her belly and frowned slightly. Why did the Fourth Prince think of stopping her sedan chair?
But she soon found out why the other party stopped her.
A voice that the original person would never forget came into his ears, the man's voice was somewhat cold and superior.
"Who is the person in this sedan?"
Li Jingxun looked at the sedan chair with a searching look in his eyes, while Eunuch Guan said respectfully to Li Jingxun, "Your Highness, the person in the sedan chair is the female doctor who treated Concubine Chen. I am about to send her out of the palace."
The fact that the Third Prince had been found had not yet been revealed, so Eunuch Guan naturally did not dare to act on his own.
If he causes his master's displeasure, he will be in big trouble.
Eunuch Guan really knew very little about the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince Li Jingxun was originally an invisible person in the palace. His biological mother was just the daughter of a county magistrate of humble origin.
She was fortunate enough to enter the Prince's Palace and conceive a royal heir, but she died during childbirth.
When he was born, Concubine Chen had lost her third son, and Li Xian had wanted Concubine Chen to raise the fourth prince, who was the same age as him.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Chen refused to do anything, and Li Jingxun was sent to the previous emperor's concubines to be raised.
Li Jingxun used to be a nobody in the palace, but he had a good relationship with the eldest prince.
The only option for a prince without the protection of his biological mother is to take sides.
Even though Li Jingxun followed the eldest prince, his life was still as miserable as ever.
A few days ago, he hit his head while trying to save the eldest prince and was in a coma for a whole month before waking up. After waking up, his temperament changed drastically.
Li Jingxun stared at the sedan chair and raised his eyebrows slightly. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. He really wanted to see who was in the sedan chair.
So he instructed Guan Gonggong, "This prince is passing by, and she should come out and pay her respects to this prince."
Ah Zhi raised the corner of her lips coldly and said, "I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Highness the Fourth Prince. I will come out to pay my respects to you right away."
As soon as she finished speaking, she drew aside the curtain. Azhi in the sedan chair had a faint smile on her face, her bulging belly slightly lifted up. She stood up and walked out of the sedan chair and bowed deeply to Li Jingxun.
"This common woman greets His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
When he saw Azhi's face, Li Jingxun's eyes flashed with surprise.
But when he saw Azhi's bulging belly, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Li Jingxun always had a familiar feeling, as if he had known her for a long time.
At the same time, some evil thoughts inexplicably emerged in my mind.
He suppressed his evil thoughts and asked Ah Zhi, "Are you the female doctor who came to the palace to treat Concubine Chen?"
Ah Zhi lowered his head slightly and replied softly, "That's right."
Li Jingxun continued to ask, "Is Concubine Chen feeling better?"
