The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

However, when Zhuxi went there, he found nothing. The eunuch at the door said that the emperor had not returned since he went to Jingren Palace.

Seeing this, Zhu Xi did not go to Jingren Palace anymore, but went directly back to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace and reported the news to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, I went to ask the Emperor, and he has not returned since he went to Jingren Palace."

After the Queen Mother heard what Zhu Xi had said, she thought for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "Forget it, there is no need to ask the Emperor again. Let's talk about it in a few days."

After the emperor came out from Yipin, he felt a little depressed and wanted to find someone to drink with him. In the past, he would go to Guojun Wang, but now Guojun Wang was eliminated for betraying him. The emperor thought for a long time among the many concubines in the harem, and finally decided to go to Yikun Palace where Nian Shilan was.

At this moment, Nian Shilan was lying on the couch in Yiku Palace, still thinking carefully about what Concubine Fang had said to her today, when she suddenly heard Songzhi coming to report that the emperor had arrived.

Nian Shilan then stood up reluctantly, hurriedly tidied her clothes, and went out to greet the emperor.

Seeing this, the emperor still asked Nian Shilan with concern: "How is your health now? Are you fully recovered?"

Nian Shilan smiled and shook her head, "I am fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

The emperor took Nian Shilan's hand and walked into the palace. He said with great satisfaction: "It is thanks to you that I got through today. Otherwise, I would not have gotten away so easily."

Nian Shilan sneered in her heart. The emperor was still the suspicious Aixinjuelu Yinzhen after all. Did she really think that Nian Shilan didn't know that the emperor had made two preparations. On the one hand, he gave his soldiers to rescue the emperor, and on the other hand, the emperor had his own black armor army. So whether Nian Shilan brought people to rescue the emperor or not, the emperor would be fine. But if Nian Shilan didn't go, after the emperor was safe, the next thing he would do was to get rid of herself.

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor with deep affection, "How could I not go to save the emperor? I was afraid that if I went a little late, the emperor would get hurt. I was always worried along the way. Fortunately, I went in time."

The emperor patted Nian Shilan's hand without saying anything. Nian Shilan saw that the table had been set with food and a pot of sake.

Nian Shilan asked with concern: "Is the emperor too sad today?"

The emperor nodded, with tears in his eyes, "I wonder if my beloved concubine would like to drink a few cups with me?"

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's words, she felt that today was a good opportunity to test the emperor, so she took the wine jug and filled the emperor's and her own glasses with wine without saying a word, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the emperor also drank a glass. After Nian Shilan filled the glass with wine, the emperor continued to drink without any intention of picking up his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan stopped pouring wine for the emperor. Instead, she used her chopsticks to pick up a few bites of food for the emperor and put them on the plate in front of the emperor. She gently advised, "Your Majesty, strong alcohol is harmful to your health. Please eat a few bites of food."

The emperor took a look at the food on the plate, and couldn't bear to reject Nian Shilan's kindness, so he picked it up and put it in his mouth to chew, but he couldn't taste it. He put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, looked into the distance with a confused look, and sighed softly.

Nian Shilan's heart tightened, and she asked softly, "Is there anything on your mind, Your Majesty? I am willing to help you solve your problems."

The emperor smiled bitterly, drank the wine in the cup, and said slowly: "I have been busy with state affairs recently, and I am exhausted both physically and mentally. In addition, I am getting older and I am no longer able to do it..."

Nian Shilan held the emperor's hand and looked at him affectionately, "Your Majesty, please don't be too tired. It is important to take care of your health. If there is anything, you can tell me. I will definitely support your majesty with all my strength."

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan with emotion, "My beloved concubine is so considerate of me. But the state affairs are so heavy that I don't know where to start."

Nian Shilan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. There will always be a way out. Why don't you relax and enjoy the tranquility of this moment?"

As she spoke, Nian Shilan stood up, fluttered her sleeves, and sang a beautiful song. The emperor listened quietly, and his mood gradually calmed down.

When the song ended, the emperor smiled and took Nian Shilan's hand, "My beloved concubine is so talented, I didn't know it before. It is my great fortune to have such a virtuous concubine."

Nian Shilan lowered her head shyly, "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. I just saw that the sisters in the harem have their own strengths, so I also found a master to learn a thing or two, hoping to bring some joy to Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard Nian Shilan's words, he was deeply moved, and the affection in his eyes as he looked at Nian Shilan was so deep that it seemed as if he could draw threads.

The two drank some more wine. The emperor was a little drunk and no longer as rational as before, so he said, "I heard an interesting story today. I wonder if my beloved concubine is interested in listening to it?"

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's question, she felt a little excited. She had finally waited for this critical moment. It was worth it for her good intention of secretly spitting the wine on her sleeve.

Nian Shilan also pretended to be dazed and drunk at this time, staggered towards the emperor, and asked, "But what's the fun?"

The emperor was really a little drunk. He drank one pot of sake after another, so much that he couldn't remember how much he had drunk. So he said drunkenly, "Today, I heard that there was a girl among the people. Her mother had raised her with all her heart after giving birth to her. Unfortunately, she was hated by the concubines in the palace. When her daughter was still young, she drugged her mother's food, causing her mother to suddenly die of a serious illness. Then, the concubines took over her mother's nest. Her daughter has always regarded her enemy as her biological mother and has served her diligently for many years."

When Nian Shilan heard this, combined with what Yipin said today, he knew that the Queen Mother was probably the enemy who killed his mother. Nian Shilan pondered for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would kill the enemy with my own hands and avenge my real biological mother."

When the emperor heard what Nian Shilan said, he smiled heartily, "It's your personality. Over the years, you have never changed. You have always been clear about what you love and hate."

Nian Shilan also laughed along with the emperor, "I am able to keep my original aspirations in mind, it's because your Majesty loves me so much."

The emperor was pleased and said, "You are very good like this. I hope you can stay like this for the rest of your life."

Seeing that it was almost over, Nian Shilan did not dare to say too much to the emperor, lest the emperor think back to these things after he sobered up the next day and might become suspicious of her.

Nian Shilan said virtuously: "Your Majesty, it is late at night now, you should go to bed early."

After a good meal and a good drink, she was thinking about lust. When Nian Shilan was helping the emperor, the soft part of her body rubbed against the emperor's arm. Seeing this, the emperor said with a lustful look, "Yes, it's time to sleep with my beloved concubine."

Nian Shilan rolled her eyes in her heart and didn't say anything. She just looked shy and helped the emperor stagger to the bed.

Not long after, obscene sounds were heard in the house, and Yueyue was so embarrassed that she quickly hid herself.
