The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 166 Snake Berry

When Guarjia Wenyuan came out of Yixiu Palace, she was very happy and hummed a little tune along the way. Haitang followed behind Guarjia Wenyuan silently and gave Guarjia Wenyuan a meaningful look.

Concubine Mi had nothing to do today and wanted to take a walk in the palace. She happened to see the backs of Guarjia Wenyuan and a maid.

Concubine Mi only felt that the back of this palace maid was a little unfamiliar, unlike the figure of Guarjia Wenyuan's previous personal palace maid. She just kept looking at the two of them until the figure disappeared.

At this time, Zi Lan, the maidservant beside Concubine Mi, came to her side and said to her in Siamese, which only the Siamese people could understand: "Madam, do you also think that the maidservant is a little strange?"

Mi Fei turned around and looked at Zi Lan in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Zi Lan shook her head. "I don't know. I just saw the maid at the gate of Wen Ying's palace a few days ago. She was carrying a lot of things, and there was also a familiar smell of snakeberry."

After hearing this, Mi Fei was a little surprised, "Snakeberry? Are you sure you didn't smell it wrong?"

Zi Lan swore solemnly: "I will never be wrong."

Concubine Mi thought for a moment and said to Zi Lan, "Don't tell anyone else about this. The palace is not peaceful, and it's better for us to keep out of trouble."

Zilan nodded and said nothing more.

Concubine Mi was thinking in her heart, was Nian Shilan's encounter with a snake last night related to that palace maid? But it shouldn't be, the Changle Palace is heavily guarded and can't be easily entered, and although snake berries can attract snakes, it won't happen overnight. Maybe it was just that 3 Wen agreed to eat snake berries, so he asked the palace maid to buy some, and she must have been too suspicious.

Concubine Mi stopped thinking and continued to stroll leisurely in the imperial city. Looking at the flowers and trees in the Forbidden City, she couldn't help but miss her country. If she had not been offered to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty by her father to fill the harem, she would still be the noble princess and would not lose the qualification to be a mother.

This was the deepest hatred in Mi Fei's heart, but she also knew that it was definitely not Nian Shilan who did it. That woman had always been open and honest. For example, when it came to the contraceptive medicine, she had sent people to repeatedly hint at her. In Mi Fei's impression, she was proud, as if she disdained the dirty tricks in the harem.

The Emperor is not idle either. Ever since he asked Su Peisheng to spread the word that he had found the person behind the scenes that night, Su Peisheng has been sending people to keep a close eye on the little palace maid who was evasive at the time.

It must be said that this little palace maid was a very calm person. For several days in a row, she returned to her room after work and did not talk to anyone else.

When the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace that day, Nian Shilan was lying on the couch in a depressed mood. The emperor saw Nian Shilan and smiled, "My beloved concubine, what happened?"

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor with grievance and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I want to go back to the palace. It's too boring to stay here. I don't have the freedom at all in my own palace."

When the emperor heard what Nian Shilan said, his face turned serious and he said, "No, not in Changle Palace."

Nian Shilan said angrily, "Your Majesty, you want me to rest and take care of my baby. But living in this Yangxin Palace, with so many ministers coming and going every day to see Your Majesty, it is really inconvenient for me to stay here. Or does Your Majesty regret giving me Changle Palace? Do you want to take it back?"

When the emperor heard what Nian Shilan said, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He felt that Nian Shilan was safe in his palace, but he forgot that he had to deal with government affairs every day. He was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Nian Shilan to stay for a long time. In recent days, Fulu had asked to see him many times, but the emperor refused because of Nian Shilan.

The emperor thought for a moment, and then said to Nian Shilan in a gentle voice, "My beloved concubine, I have no regrets in giving you Changle Palace. I am just worried that the harem has not been peaceful recently, and I am afraid that if you make another mistake, I will be distressed."

When Nian Shilan heard what the emperor said, she stretched out her hands and hugged the emperor's neck and said, "Your Majesty, please believe that I will protect you well."

Then Nian Shilan leaned over and whispered something into the emperor's ear.

The emperor thought about it and nodded, saying, "Then you can go back tomorrow, but you must fumigate with realgar wine three times a day. Don't be careless. I will also assign more guards to your Changle Palace."

Naturally, Nian Shilan would not refuse what the emperor arranged for her. No one would go against their own safety.

The next morning, Nian Shilan smiled and told Songzhi and Lingzhi to move the palace for her. The emperor looked at Nian Shilan's cheerful expression and said, "You are such a heartless person!"

Nian Shilan naturally heard it, but she pretended not to hear it and said goodbye to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I will return to Changle Palace first."

The emperor looked at the dazzling smile on Nian Shilan's face, relaxed, and didn't say much, just said "hmm".

Nian Shilan returned to Changle Palace and ordered the servants to put the things they had brought back in proper order. She then sat leisurely on the chaise longue that the emperor had specially ordered for her in the main hall, watching the busy figures of the palace servants at leisure.

Song Zhi asked in a puzzled voice, "Your Majesty, why are you so anxious to return to the palace? The person behind this has not been found yet."

Nian Shilan smiled meaningfully, with a sharp look in her eyes, "It's okay, just watch."

Everyone in the harem had been keeping an eye on what was happening in the Yangxin Palace. After learning that Nian Shilan had returned to her Changle Palace, everyone was in a state of confusion.

After dinner in the evening, Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi and said, "Go and bring Yun'er to me."

After Yun'er entered the hall, Nian Shilan asked Songzhi and Lingzhi to guard the door of the hall, leaving Nian Shilan alone to talk to Yun'er.

After a long time, the door of the bedroom opened. Songzhi thought it was Yun'er who came out. As soon as she looked up, she was surprised by Nian Shilan's dress.

At this time, Nian Shilan was wearing Yun'er's clothes, had the same hair bun as Yun'er, and had makeup on her face. If you didn't look carefully, you would not recognize that this person was Nian Shilan.

Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan, but before she could speak, Nian Shilan lowered her voice and said, "You should fumigate your rooms with realgar wine at night, and don't put out the candles. No one is allowed to tell others about my going out tonight."

Songzhi nodded after hearing Nian Shilan's instructions, but then asked with some concern, "Madam, where are you going? It's getting late and the dew is heavy, I'll accompany you."

Nian Shilan shook her head. "No need. I will go back to the Yangxin Palace. I will come back secretly tomorrow morning. You must remember my instructions and don't be careless."

Songzhi felt relieved when she heard Nian Shilan say that she wanted to return to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
