Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"She deserved it?" The emperor grasped the key point and wanted to hear what crime the palace maid had committed.

After Jinxi told the emperor the whole story, it was obvious that the emperor was a little uneasy.

He didn't care about the queen anymore, and took Nian Shilan's hand and walked into the house: "Shilan, how could I not know about such a big thing? I didn't hear you tell me, and you were wronged."

Isn't it true? Nian Shilan's beauty and appearance are among the best in the harem, and the emperor is bewitched by her. If anything goes wrong with Nian Shilan, not to mention the eight banners of palace maids, even the upper three banners will never tolerate it.

"Why can't I see the people around you? Where did they go?"

But when the emperor entered the house, he discovered that only Jinxi was with Nian Shilan. Although Songzhi was ill, even Zhou Ninghai was not there.

It was inevitable that the emperor felt that Nian Shilan was being neglected.

Although he had not treated Shilan badly during the New Year, the emperor always felt an indescribable discomfort when looking at the scene in Yikun Palace.

"Speaking of Zhou Ninghai, he is really a man of love and righteousness. When Songzhi was sick, he rushed to take care of her."

Nian Shilan said this with a smile, and was truly moved by Zhou Ninghai's friendship.

But before the emperor could say anything, the queen started to talk: "How ridiculous!"

She yelled in anger and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I don't think Zhou Ninghai can stay! Concubine Hua has no one to take care of her, but he goes to take care of a slave. This is really outrageous. What does he think our palace is?!"

As soon as the queen finished speaking, Nian Shilan turned around and looked at her. She was shocked!

The Queen's idea was a good one! She even started to plot against the people in her own Yikun Palace! Fortunately, the Emperor was reasonable.

"You can't generalize this matter, Queen. I know Zhou Ninghai is loyal to Shi Lan. How could he ignore his master at the critical moment?"

The emperor said this slowly, but based on his understanding of Nian Shilan, she didn't seem like such a kind person, and she wouldn't take the initiative to let Zhou Ninghai take care of Songzhi.

But the Queen's purpose is too obvious. Isn't it obvious that she wants to get rid of Zhou Ninghai from Yikun Palace? If she really gets rid of Zhou Ninghai, I'm afraid Shilan will hate her to death.

"Your Majesty~"

Nian Shilan said coquettishly, and then stuck close to the emperor: "I know Zhou Ninghai's feelings for Songzhi. Although I don't want Zhou Ninghai to take care of Songzhi, it's because the epidemic is too scary. I just can't change Zhou Ninghai's temper. Besides, I can feel more at ease with Zhou Ninghai taking care of her personally. What's more, I have Jinxi by my side."

After saying that, the emperor also looked at Jinxi in line with Nian Shilan's words, and found that she was indeed a steady person.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can rest assured about Aunt Jingxi. She used to serve the Concubine Dowager and is now an old lady in the palace. You can rest assured that she will serve Concubine Hua."

When Jinxi was mentioned, Su Peisheng quickly joined in and said a few words.

In fact, Nian Shilan already knew at this time that because of Jinxi, Su Peisheng's heart had begun to turn towards Yikun Palace.

Isn't this the result you want?

"That's fine, but you don't have many people around you right now. I'll ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick a few good ones and send them to you later. How can you be a concubine with only these few people around you?!"

The emperor really feels sorry for Nian Shilan.

However, after hearing this, Concubine Hua quickly refused.

If she chooses someone else, won't this give the Queen a chance? Before, Fuzi was there, and there was also Dongzhi, who didn't know when she got in. If she chooses again, the Queen doesn't know who she will arrange.

"Your Majesty, it's not the number of servants that matters, but their loyalty. Right now, Yikun Palace is full of things to do, and I only have Jinxi by my side, so I naturally don't have the time to discipline her. I think it's better to put this matter aside for now. When I need her, I'll ask Silang for her."

Nian Shilan's words also satisfied the emperor. Although she was the daughter of the Nian family, she was not arrogant and was so considerate. Naturally, the emperor agreed.

It's just that Nian Shilan's word "Silang" made the Queen feel a little uncomfortable, but the Emperor was happy, so the Queen couldn't say anything after all.

"Okay, I'll listen to you then."

But since the issue of loyalty has come up, Nian Shilan has something to say: "Dongzhi was sent to the Ministry of Punishment because of his disloyalty, isn't that right, Queen?"

Seeing the queen standing aside without saying anything, Nian Shilan deliberately shouted, which was also to tell the queen that she already knew it was her who did it.

"Sister Hua Fei is right. People who are not loyal cannot be kept."

The Queen said this with a amiable look on her face, but in her heart she didn't know how much she hated Concubine Hua. However, since the Emperor was here, she certainly couldn't say anything.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Aunt Jingqi came over.

Nian Shilan looked calm, but she was very happy in her heart. It would be best to bring some with her at this time. The emperor happened to be there, so she could let him listen to it and she wouldn't have to go and invite him herself.

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

Seeing that the emperor and empress were both there, Nanny Jingqi also became cautious.

"Get up."

"Yes."

"Mammy, why are you here at this time?"

Nian Shilan asked impatiently, wondering if Dongzhi had blurted out something again.

The current queen's eyes were always fixed on the nanny. She must have been very nervous. Although she didn't say anything, she was probably already planning a way out for herself.

Nanny Jingqi did not answer Concubine Hua's question immediately, but first looked in the direction of the Queen.

Who wouldn't understand this? The emperor was certainly not a fool and he also looked in the direction of the queen.

However, the emperor just took a deep breath and didn't say anything, but Nian Shilan knew that the emperor must be angry.

"You can tell me, no matter what, I will handle it impartially."

With the Emperor around, Nanny Jingqi wouldn't dare tell lies even if it involved the Empress.

"Yes. Miss Dongzhi just explained that Miss Songzhi's infection with the epidemic was related to the Queen."

After hearing this, although Nian Shilan didn't say anything, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Ridiculous! Nonsense!"

The Queen could no longer sit still: "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I didn't do that. I am innocent."
