Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"What are you talking about, Concubine? Of course I will always be by your side. Besides, you and Concubine Qi are good sisters, and she will not leave you. Why do you ask this? Is there a conflict between you two?" Songzhi answered softly, answering Nian Shilan's question.

What's wrong with Nian Shilan? Why is she so dazed and worried today?

"She and I didn't have a quarrel. I told her the secret of Huan Yi Xiang. Maybe she was afraid that Huan Yi Xiang would hurt her body, so she left and will never come to me again." Nian Shilan's tone was dull and her mood was extremely low.

Songzhi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Nian Shilan would tell this secret to Qi Yuebin. After all, this was in the palace, and this thing happened to be given by Yinzhen. If she told it and it got out, wouldn't it be a disaster? How could Nian Shilan, who was always cautious, not think of it at this time?

"What did you say to Concubine Qi? She is afraid of hurting her body, but the incense in this burner was not given by the prince." Songzhi looked worried.

Zhou Ninghai stood outside the house and looked in. It had been so long since Songzhi went in, but there was no movement at all. However, the two of them were talking in the house, and since Nian Shilan didn't call him, he didn't dare to go in rashly.

"I didn't say anything. I just told Concubine Qi the secret of Huanyixiang and the man's true face. But I didn't tell her about the things in the incense burner, including An Lingrong." Nian Shilan said lightly.

"Why didn't Concubine Qi tell all this?"

This is interesting. I have said everything, but why only say half of it?

"I didn't tell you what was in the incense burner because I didn't want to implicate my sister. It's best if she doesn't know. If the truth comes out, she can protect herself and won't be implicated by me. As for An Lingrong, I have my own plans."

When talking about Qi Yuebin, Nian Shilan was very gentle, which was unusual for her. But when talking about An Lingrong, there was some calculation in her eyes. After all, maybe it was because of the difference in family background. Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin were born in similar families, so they were naturally closer. As for An Lingrong, she was well-behaved now, but it was unknown what she would be like in the future.

"The Concubine was really good to Concubine Qi. I think Concubine Qi would understand. Maybe she left because something really happened." Songzhi kept comforting Nian Shilan. She didn't want her master to be worried about this.

After Qi Yuebin left, he was naturally not idle.

"Jixiang, take my letter and go find my father. Ask him to help me!" Qi Yuebin put a folded letter in Jixiang's hand with a firm look in his eyes. It can be seen that he was determined to get it.

Jixiang clutched the letter tightly and set off.

Yinzhen sat quietly in the study, busy with government affairs. At this time, Su Peisheng suddenly pushed the door open and handed over a letter. Signed, Nian Gengyao.

"Your Highness, General Nian's letter has just been delivered to your palace." Su Peisheng raised the letter above his head with both hands and handed it to Yinzhen.

"Nian Gengyao, what's the matter with him? Could there be any movement from the eighth elder?" Yinzhen took the letter, squinted his eyes and said as he opened it.

Su Peisheng didn't say anything. Servants were not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Su Peisheng always kept this in mind and dared not overstep the line.

Yinzhen opened the letter and scanned it. Sure enough, his guess was correct. Nian Gengyao and Longkodo caught a man in the suburbs of Beijing. He was a sneaky follower of Lao Ba. Later, after interrogation, it turned out that he was a spy arranged by Lao Ba in the army. Lao Ba, actually colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country! He intended to enrich himself! Great! Seeing this, Yinzhen couldn't help laughing. It really came without any effort!

"Nian Gengyao! Longkodo! Great! Important ministers of the country!" Yinzhen clapped his hands repeatedly.

"Lord Longkodo... the matter between him and Concubine De... you?"

When Su Peisheng heard Longkodo, he stammered and didn't dare to say much, but as a person close to the prince, he naturally had to remind him of anything. But when he said this, he saw that Yinzhen's face was dark. He was intimidating without being angry, which made people feel awe and dared not approach him.

The room was silent for a long time. Yinzhen fiddled with his bracelet and took a deep breath. "Let's go to the palace to see mother."

"Yes."

Although Yinzhen had a lot of prejudice against Longkodo after the last Mid-Autumn Festival and didn't want to see Concubine De again, this time, Longkodo helped him, so he had to go, even if he was very reluctant. There is gain and loss, that's probably it.

"Su Peisheng, go and tell her that I will go to Silana tonight. Tell her to get ready."

"Yes."

Su Peisheng ran very fast and came to Nian Shilan in a flash.

"Your servant pays respects to Concubine Jin."

Nian Shilan finally came to her senses and saw that it was Su Peisheng. "Eunuch Su, why are you here?"

Su Peisheng smiled politely and continued, "Congratulations, Concubine."

Nian Shilan and Songzhi were stunned when they heard this. "Please tell me, Eunuch Su, where does this happiness come from?"

"Just now, I was accompanying the prince in the study. The general has made great achievements this year. The prince is going to the palace to see the Empress Defei and will come over later. Please prepare first."

Su Peisheng said this with a happy face. But Nian Shilan couldn't smile at all, and she managed to force a smile with great difficulty.

"Thank you, Eunuch Su."

The message was passed on, and Su Peisheng bowed and left.

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai were so proud that they could not help themselves. Their master had done a great job, so they were naturally proud of it.

"Congratulations, Concubine Madam. Congratulations, Concubine Madam. Our great General Nian has made another contribution." Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai were the first to kneel in front of Nian Shilan to congratulate her.

If it was the old Nian Shilan, he would naturally be very proud, but now, there is only worry on his face. Has he made another contribution?! Will the fate of our Nian family repeat the same mistake? I am afraid that my brother will be more powerful than the master. It is okay now, Yinzhen is happy, but if it takes too long, he will be suspicious.

Seeing that Nian Shilan did not speak, the two looked at each other. Seeing that Nian Shilan was in a bad mood, Songzhi also stopped smiling and said, "What's wrong with you, Concubine? General Nian has made another contribution. Aren't you happy? This means that our Nian family's career is thriving."

"Yes, Concubine, this is a blessing that no one else can ask for. It is not an exaggeration to say that our General Nian is an important official of the country. With the support of General Nian, the position of crown prince will be our prince sooner or later. At that time, it will not be too much to give you the position of queen."

Zhou Ninghai was still feeling smug, wondering if his words pleased Nian Shilan.

"Shut up! The emperor is in his prime now, how dare you say such nonsense!" Nian Shilan cursed.
