Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Old and ugly? In the past, these were the four words that the queen cared about the most. But now, when she heard them, she felt nothing in her heart.

"The Emperor doesn't want to see me anymore, so what if I'm old and ugly? Concubine Hua, don't you ever expect someone to be old and ugly someday?"

Ever since the incident with Queen Chunyuan, the Emperor has confined himself here. No matter how many years have passed, no one has been able to see the Emperor.

Never mind. I don’t care about it anymore.

It’s just that I just can’t bear to see Nian Shilan in this state. Now that I’m under house arrest, I guess she must have become the most powerful person in the harem.

"I heard that Nian Gengyao is dead. This is the fate of those who rebel against their superiors!"

The Queen's tone was full of contempt and even a hint of sarcasm.

When this matter was mentioned, Nian Shilan became anxious. She would not allow anyone to slander her brother!

Without thinking or saying anything, he just slapped the queen.

Even Jianqiu, who was standing nearby, was frightened and had no time to protect the queen before the slap came.

"You are talking nonsense. How can I allow you to slander my brother?"

Seeing that Nian Shilan was anxious, the queen smiled. The slap on the face didn't hurt at all.

"Queen, do you think the Emperor hates you enough for what you did? I am the most respected person in the harem now. You killed Queen Chunyuan. Do you think you can be buried with the Emperor after you die?"

Nian Shilan would not let the empress be proud. Whether the emperor and empress could be buried together in the same tomb was the thing that the empress cared about most. Also, there was her throne as the empress.

The more she cares about something, the more Nian Shilan wants to get it!

"Forget it. I don't have time to argue with you right now."

After that, Nian Shilan said to Songzhi, "Let's go visit the Queen Mother."

Queen Mother!

Speaking of the Queen Mother, the Queen couldn't help but feel heartbroken. The Queen Mother was her aunt, and now she had fallen into this state, but the Queen Mother didn't offer any help.

"By the way, go and bring Hongli with you."

After saying that, Nian Shilan went there first. When Songzhi and Jinxi brought Hongli to her, Nian Shilan was talking to the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother stayed in Shoukang Palace and did not go out, she knew all the big and small things happening in the palace.

"How is Huipin doing recently? She hasn't been here for a while."

The empress dowager thought about it and calculated that Huipin had not come to Shoukang Palace for almost half a month, but before that, Huipin would never miss a day.

However, the Queen Mother also understood that the wine she had rewarded her with that night was probably to reconcile her and the Emperor. Thinking about it, the Queen Mother was also happy.

"Yes, Huipin is now busy accompanying the emperor all day long. Judging from Huipin's favor, she is second only to me."

Nian Shilan smiled and joked that she only spoke well of Shen Meizhuang, but she did not mention a word to the Queen Mother about what Shen Meizhuang had done.

This is not a good time to speak up anyway.

"Empress Dowager, look, Hongli is here too."

As she spoke, Nian Shilan hugged Hongli to her side, also wanting to quickly change the subject from Shen Meiyu's affairs.

"Hongli seems to have grown a lot taller." The empress dowager looked him up and down.

Then he added: "I am old and can't hold him anymore, otherwise I really want to hold this little guy."

"If you can have a child of your own, you will have someone to rely on in the palace. Hongli is not your biological child after all. He is not as reliable as a biological child."

How could Nian Shilan not understand? She also knew that the Queen Mother was doing it for her own good, but she still quickly tried to persuade her.

"Empress Dowager, Hongli is still here. Please don't say such things. Although Hongli is young, he is also smart. Now that I am his mother, how can I compare him?"

Nian Shilan refuted the Queen Mother, but her tone never made her angry.

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, but you should also consider what I said."

Nian Shilan smiled and nodded. How could she understand it? However, the imperial family was full of intrigues and schemes, and she didn't want to give birth to a child of her own and get involved in the turmoil of the imperial family.

Although Hongli looks well-behaved now, who knows what he will be like when he grows up?

"Wanpin's pregnancy should be almost seven months now."

The Queen Mother suddenly remembered and asked Nian Shilan.

"Yes."

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, the Queen Mother nodded with relief.

Originally, I thought that if Concubine Wan's child was born safely, the Emperor would have one more child.

But more than half a month later, good news came from Chuxiu Palace!

"Your Majesty, Huipin of Chuxiu Palace is pregnant! The Emperor is already in Chuxiu Palace, Your Majesty should pack up and go over there as soon as possible."

It was Zhou Ninghai who came in and said that. Caiyue just told everyone in the palace about it.

Pregnant?! When these words were spoken, the expressions on Nian Shilan, Jinxi, and Songzhi's faces were not so pleasant.

How could it be such a coincidence? Nian Shilan remembered that Shen Meizhuang had only slept with him once in the past half month.

The emperor is already this old, just once? No wonder Nian Shilan didn't think too much about it.

What’s more, there was the suspicious Doctor Wen that time. So is this baby really the Emperor’s?

Nian Shilan thought, perhaps, the opportunity has come!

"By the way, Madam, I heard early this morning that Wanpin's father is seriously ill in Ningguta!"

Zhou Ninghai continued.

It's really a wave of unrest and another wave.

"Does Wanpin know about this?"

Nian Shilan asked quickly.

"I don't know yet. But the emperor hasn't said anything about giving him medical treatment yet. Ningguta is cold and remote. I'm afraid if he's not treated in time, his life will be in danger."

Seeing that Nian Shilan has been treating Wanpin nicely recently, he didn't know whether Nian Shilan would help Wanpin in this matter, so he naturally had to tell her everything.

"Forget it, go find someone to tell him, but don't let her know that it was someone from our Yikun Palace, and that it was the Emperor who refused to treat him!"

Nian Shilan thought for a moment and said, "Songzhi, go to Prince Guo's mansion and tell Prince Guo about this matter. He will naturally do it."

"Yes." Although they didn't know the deeper meaning of Nian Shilan's arrangement, Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai still hurried to do it.

He left Jinxi by his side and went to Chuxiu Palace with him.

The Chuxiu Palace is really bustling, with a lot of people gathering around. The situation in the harem is really changing.

This time, I heard that An Lingrong was the first one to come and congratulate. She was really enthusiastic.

But An Lingrong was a thoughtful person, and it was unknown whether she was congratulating him or had some other thoughts.

"Your Majesty, good luck."

Nian Shilan's voice came from outside the door. At this time, the emperor was still surrounding Shen Meizhuang's bed.

He looked at her with a smile, thinking that the child Shen Meizhuang was pregnant with was really his own.
