Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm here to see how you're doing on your job."

Nian Shilan was still the same as usual, even Lian Jianqiu, the master and servant both looked a little arrogant.

However, Huang Guiquan just loves to serve. Seeing Nian Shilan coming, he tried to fawn on her. After all, his family still depended on his job as the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department.

This job was given to me by Nian Shilan, so I have to curry favor with her.

"Your Majesty, come and have a look with me. There really is an unexpected surprise."

Huang Guiquan's expression was really mysterious, which also aroused Nian Shilan's curiosity.

"Huang Guiquan, I'm afraid you don't want this job anymore. What kind of place is the Ministry of Punishment? How can you let the Imperial Concubine in so easily?"

Songzhi scolded from the side.

The Ministry of Punishment was really a torture. It was extremely hot and stuffy, and even the servants who did the rough work couldn't stand it, let alone the pampered empress Nian Shilan.

"Okay, since you said there was a surprise, I'll let you go and see it, but if there isn't, you'd better think about it carefully."

Nian Shilan pointed at Huang Guiquan with her slender jade finger and walked forward.

Huang Guiquan was scared. Although he was sure there would be a surprise, he was also afraid that Nian Shilan would not be satisfied.

His face looked very embarrassed.

"what happened."

Zhou Ninghai was walking behind. He and Huang Guiquan were both eunuchs and both worked for Concubine Hua, so it was naturally more convenient for them to talk.

"Ah~"

Huang Guiquan sighed and said, "This task is difficult, and I am afraid that the Majesty will not like this surprise."

But Huang Guiquan really thought about it. As long as he could overthrow the queen, Huang Guiquan would be credited, and Nian Shilan would naturally not treat him unfairly!

"Okay, our queen is just like this. She's a bit harsh in words, but think about it, when has the royal concubine ever treated us badly?"

Zhou Ninghai comforted him, but it was indeed the truth.

Every year, Shilan gave out huge amounts of money as rewards, not to mention the ones during festivals.

Huang Guiquan originally entered the palace to become a eunuch because his family was poor, but it was also because of Nian Shilan that he made a lot of money in the palace over the years.

"Hurry up, you two! Don't keep the Queen waiting!"

Songzhi was scolding not far ahead.

What are these two people doing?

And this Zhou Ninghai, when he saw Huang Guiquan, he started chatting with himself, as if he couldn't walk anymore, and he didn't even care about the Empress. He really couldn't tell the priority from the primary. I'll have to talk to him about it later.

Hearing Songzhi's call, the two of them hurried over and stood in front of Nian Shilan with a grin on their faces.

The Ministry of Punishment was exactly as Songzhi had described. As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of sweat hit me in the face.

It's not just the environment that's bad, even the smell is so pungent.

I'm afraid that people will be suffocated to death before they die from the heat.

The moment the door opened, Nian Shilan, Songzhi and Jinxi all took out handkerchiefs from their closets and covered their noses with them.

Huang Guiquan and Zhou Ninghai were so irritated by the smell that they had to cover their mouths and noses with their hands.

If you walk further inside, you can see Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai.

Jiang Fuhai had been tortured beyond recognition, but Jianqiu was even worse.

But Jianqiu still noticed Nian Shilan coming over, and yelled, "Noble Concubine Hua, you bitch, you framed the queen, you will definitely die a miserable death!"

Nian Shilan knew that it was normal for Jianqiu to hate her, and she didn't need to care. As long as her goal was achieved, it was fine.

"Pa!" Before Jianqiu could react, a slap landed on her face.

Bright red blood flowed down the corners of her mouth. "Did you, a bunch of bastards, dare to frame Concubine Hua? She is already in the Ministry of Punishment. Do you really not want this life of yours anymore?"

It was Jin Xi who was scolding.

Before he noticed, Jiang Fuhai behind him was so scared that he burst into tears.

"Noble Concubine Hua, please spare me, Noble Concubine Hua, please spare me. This was all done by the Empress. This has nothing to do with me. Wuuuuu."

Jiang Fuhai was whimpering in the back. He must have been scared too. This Jingqi Madam was really capable.

"Jiang Fuhai, have you forgotten how the Queen treats us on a daily basis?"

It cannot be said that the Queen treated these two people unfairly, but she was not very good to them either.

No wonder Jiang Fuhai would betray the queen in order to protect himself.

"Huang Guiquan, where is the surprise you mentioned? Be careful that the queen will get angry!"

Songzhi saw that Huang Gui had no idea at all and reminded him quickly. Firstly, she was afraid that Nian Shilan would be angry, and secondly, she wanted to leave as soon as she finished reading it.

The smell in here is so strong that it is unbearable for ordinary people.

"Hey, I'm here, I'm here. Don't worry, Auntie. I'll be right there."

As he spoke, Huang Guiquan brought the group to Jiang Fuhai.

"Jiang Fuhai, now that the Imperial Concubine is here, don't say that our Eunuch Huang didn't give you a chance."

Jiang Fuhai was only thinking about surviving, and Huang Guiquan had already given instructions long ago. As long as he behaved well in front of Concubine Hua and made the Empress happy, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Eunuch Huang."

Jiang Fuhai nodded repeatedly.

"My queen, there is actually one thing that no one else knows. Only Jianqiu and I know it, and it happened a long time ago..."

Jiang Fuhai recalled.

"Jiang Fuhai!"

Jianqiu shouted, trying to stop him. It would have been fine if it had nothing else to do, but as soon as Jiang Fuhai mentioned this, Jianqiu knew that this matter concerned the Queen of Chunyuan.

It would be fine if it was any other concubine, but it was Queen Chunyuan. If the Emperor really knew about this, I'm afraid the Queen would not be able to survive.

But Jiang Fuhai was only thinking about his own life now, so he didn't care about the queen at all.

"At that time, the Queen had not yet entered the palace. Back then, Prince Yong had a legitimate wife, Empress Chunyuan, who was the current Queen's biological sister. It was the Queen who became jealous at the time, causing Empress Chunyuan to suffer when she gave birth to the Second Prince, and both mother and son were harmed."

Jiang Fuhai must know the reason behind this, after all, he was also involved in the famine that year.

"Okay."

This was exactly what Nian Shilan wanted. She had heard it from Concubine Duan at the time, but there was no evidence. But now that Jiang Fuhai had said it, it was different.

Let’s see how the queen will turn things around this time!

"Alright, Huang Guiquan, what are you still standing there for?"

Since Jiang Fuhai has already said so, Nian Shilan also meant that Hua Guiquan should report to the emperor.

It's a good opportunity for the Emperor to see the Queen's true face.

"Yes, Madam Concubine, I will go right away."

After saying that, Huang Guiquan happily went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Nian Shilan returned to Yiku Palace and waited for good news.
