The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The emperor kept patting Nian Shilan's back with his hands. When Nian Shilan was about to calm down, he looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Shilan, believe me, I will seek justice for our child."

Nian Shilan smiled sadly and said in a tone of disbelief: "What is justice? One life for another?"

The emperor looked into Nian Shilan's eyes and said nothing.

Nian Shilan lay back on the bed with some weariness, "I am a little tired, Your Majesty, please go back."

Seeing this, the emperor thought of sending Su Peisheng to investigate thoroughly, and also wanted to speed up the process, so he said, "Take good care of yourself, I will come to see you another day."

After the emperor left Yikun Palace, Songzhi stayed for a long time. Seeing that the emperor did not return, she said to Zhou Ninghai, "You must watch carefully and do not let anyone eavesdrop on my conversation with the queen."

After Zhou Ninghai made a solemn promise, Songzhi took Yun'er to Nian Shilan's bedroom.

As soon as Songzhi and Yun'er entered the hall, they saw Nian Shilan, who had been crying bitterly just now, now lying leisurely on the couch, flipping through a sketchbook.

Songzhi quickly took the sketchbook out of Nian Shilan's hand and said, "My lady, I have brought Yun'er to diagnose your pulse."

Nian Shilan waved her hand nonchalantly, "What pulse are you taking? How can I not know if I am alright?"

Songzhi insisted, "No, Madam, although you just had your menstrual period, who knows if the vicious queen has added something else to the incense that we haven't noticed. We must take your pulse."

Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi's insistent face and said helplessly, "Okay, I will obey you. Now you are really getting more and more presumptuous and even acting as my boss."

Seeing that Nian Shilan agreed to take her pulse, Songzhi laughed skillfully and said flatteringly, "My queen is the most considerate to me. I am so lucky to be able to serve her."

Nian Shilan tapped Songzhi's forehead with her finger with amusement, then stretched out her hand and let Yun'er take her pulse.

After a long while, Yun'er said slowly, "I have carefully examined the Majesty's pulse. The Majesty is fine. It's just that she took too many medicines today, and her Qi and blood are a little deficient. She needs to be taken care of carefully. I will prepare a few more bowls of medicinal food for the Majesty, and I promise to return a lively and energetic Imperial Noble Consort to Sister Songzhi."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan also pretended to pat Yun'er lightly, "Now that you have been with Songzhi for a long time, you have also learned her smooth talk, you deserve a beating!"

Yun'er looked at Nian Shilan and Songzhi with a smile, and the three of them laughed together for a while.

In fact, Nian Shilan had never been pregnant. This was a trap set by her. After all, she was the originator of faking pregnancy for others. If she could frame others, she could use this method on herself.

After taking the fake pregnancy drug, anyone who came to diagnose her pulse would think it was a pregnancy. Moreover, Wen Shichu was her own family. Her miscarriage today was just a coincidence that she had her menstrual period. Otherwise, she might not have gone if the Queen had summoned her. When she had a "miscarriage", Songzhi first said that the cause of Queen Chunyuan's death was strange. When the Emperor was suspicious, she took the blood-activating and stasis-removing drug that Yun'er had prepared for her in advance, which caused heavy bleeding, and she made the incense fumigation incident public. With all the evidence, it was impossible for the Emperor not to suspect the Queen. The next thing was left to An Lingrong, and she would not let him down.

Nian Shilan was not worried at all that An Lingrong would betray her, because she knew how much An Lingrong cared about her mother. The nanny she sent was always by An Lingrong's mother's side. If her crime was exposed, she would let her mother be buried with her.

An Lingrong had been keeping an eye on Nian Shilan's movements. When she heard that Su Peisheng had taken Jiang Fuhai and Jianqiu to the Ministry of Punishment, she knew that the opportunity that Nian Shilan had talked about had come.

An Lingrong did not act in a hurry. She waited for a few days. When Wen Dafen tried to see the Queen several times but to no avail, she went to the Queen's Jingren Palace.

As a matter of course, she did not see the Queen, but the palace maid who came out to answer the conversation slipped a note into An Lingrong's hand when no one was paying attention.

After An Lingrong took the note, she saw that it said, "Save Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai as soon as possible."

After An Lingrong read the note, she crumpled it up and went to Wen Ying's palace. When Guarjia Wen Yuan saw An Lingrong coming, she concealed her contempt and disdain for her and greeted her with a smile on her face, "Sister Rongpin, how come you have time to come to my palace today?"

An Lingrong looked at the people around her, and Wen Ying said to signal them to leave. Seeing this, An Lingrong also asked Rendong to wait outside the hall. Seeing this, Guarjia Wenyuan knew that the matter was of great importance, so she asked her personal maid to leave as well.

When only An Lingrong and Guarjia Wenyuan were left in the palace, Wen Da Ying was the first to speak: "Sister, are you here today for the Queen's matter?"

An Lingrong smiled bitterly and nodded, then asked, "Have you seen the Queen recently?"

Guarjia Wenyuan shook her head and said anxiously, "I haven't seen the Queen for a long time. You and I have been serving the Queen wholeheartedly. Now it is reported that the Queen is seriously ill and cannot see guests. I am so panicked."

An Lingrong kept looking into Wen Da Ying's eyes and asked again, "Did the Queen give you any news?"

When Guarjia Wenyuan heard An Lingrong's question, she blurted out without blinking, "Never."

Seeing this, An Lingrong pretended to be embarrassed, stood up and said, "Okay, I understand. I will go back first and think of a solution."

How could Guarjia Wenyuan not notice An Lingrong's hesitation? She quickly stepped forward and grabbed An Lingrong's hand, and asked anxiously, "Did the Queen send a message to my sister? Sister, please tell me quickly, or I will be really worried to death."

An Lingrong was very embarrassed at this time and said, "Forget it. Since the Queen didn't tell me, she must have her own considerations. You don't have to worry. The Queen is a lucky person and will be safe."

Guaerjia Wenyuan stepped forward again to stop An Lingrong, and as luck would have it, a piece of paper floated from An Lingrong's sleeve to the ground. An Lingrong was shocked and was about to reach out to pick it up, but Guaerjia Wenyuan quickly picked it up.

Guarjia Wenyuan took a look at the note and saw that it was written by the Queen, saying, "The father of Zhen Huan's twins is Prince Guo."

After Guaerjia Wenyuan saw clearly, An Lingrong immediately pretended to be panicked and snatched the note back from Guaerjia Wenyuan.

Guarjia Wenyuan did not react to An Lingrong's actions at this time. She was still thinking carefully about the contents of the note. An Lingrong said in a trembling voice: "Sister, just pretend you have never heard or seen anything about what happened today. Don't mention it to anyone else, do you understand? If this is false, our lives will be in danger."

Guarjia Wenyuan looked at An Lingrong, hummed, and then ignored An Lingrong. Seeing this, An Lingrong hurriedly left Guarjia Wenyuan's palace.

What Guaerjia Wenyuan was thinking about at this moment was, Zhen Huan actually cheated on the emperor? Since the empress knew this news, why did she only tell An Lingrong and not herself? An Lingrong was the daughter of a small county magistrate, could she be more noble than herself? The empress was too partial, and Guaerjia Wenyuan was determined to let the empress see that she was more useful than An Lingrong.
