The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

"I know that I and my child will be safe." Nian Shilan said with a smile.

At this time, Songzhi came in with a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, "My queen, it's time to take the medicine."

Nian Shilan took the bowl of medicine, smelled the bitter taste, and couldn't help but frowned.

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan and brought the medicine bowl to him. After blowing the medicine bowl patiently to cool it down, he brought it to Nian Shilan and coaxed her, "Good boy Shilan, I've already blown it on you. It's not hot anymore."

Nian Shilan thought of the baby in her belly, so she gritted her teeth and drank the medicine in one gulp.

After drinking the medicine, Nian Shilan felt a little sleepy. The emperor asked her to have a good rest and he stayed by her side.

On the other hand, Zhen Huan could not calm down for a long time after returning to Bitong Academy. She decided to secretly investigate the people in the carriage to see what happened.

The person sitting in the carriage that Zhen Huan saw was Xia Qian with several blood-dripping spears. There was another person inside. Although only his profile was seen, Zhen Huan recognized that he was a servant of the Nian family. When Nian Gengyao entered the palace before, he had followed behind Nian Gengyao.

Zhen Huan immediately sent people to follow the carriage, trying to find more clues. However, the carriage soon disappeared in the streets and alleys of the capital.

Zhen Huan knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be let go easily. She decided to ask her father Zhen Yuandao to personally find the servant of the Nian family, hoping to learn the truth from him.

After the letter was sent, Zhen Yuandao did not dare to be careless when he received it. He immediately sent someone to look for it. After some effort, Zhen Yuandao finally found the servant's residence. However, when he got there, he found that the room was empty, with only an unsent letter on the table.

Zhen Yuandao picked up the letter and read it carefully. He was shocked by the contents of the letter, which accused Nian Gengyao of planning a huge conspiracy behind the emperor's back...

Zhen Yuandao pondered for a long time, thinking of his daughter in the palace who had always been very good friends with Tongnian Shilan, and he hesitated whether he should give his daughter some advice.

Zhen Yuandao's wife entered the study room and looked at Zhen Yuandao, who looked very bitter and resentful. She asked with concern, "My husband, what happened?"

Zhen Yuandao was silent for a moment, but then he told Mrs. Zhen everything he had found out.

Madam Zhen was horrified after hearing this. "What should we do? If it is true as the letter says, then General Nian has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Zhen Yuandao sighed, "I originally didn't want to tell Huan'er about this, so as to prevent her from getting involved. But now it seems that this matter involves a lot of people. If I don't remind Huan'er soon, I'm afraid it will cause a disaster in the future."

Madam Zhen nodded, "That's absolutely right. Then we should tell Huan'er about this as soon as possible."

So Zhen Yuandao wrote a letter to Zhen Huan, telling her everything he had found out and asking her to be careful. A few days later, Zhen Huan received a letter from Zhen Yuandao. After reading the letter, Zhen Huan turned pale. She could never have imagined that Nian Gengyao would do such a treasonous thing.

Zhen Huan pondered for a long time, and finally took Huanbi to Qingliang Palace in person.

The Qingliang Palace was very lively today. Princess Wen Yi was playing with the Fifth Prince in the palace, while Nian Shilan and Cao Qinmo were chatting and laughing.

This was the scene that Zhen Huan saw when she arrived, and she was in a dilemma for a moment.

Nian Shilan saw Zhen Huan with her sharp eyes and said lazily, "How come Concubine Xi has time to come to my place today?"

Zhen Huan's face was not very good at this time. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I haven't seen Fifth Prince for a few days, so I wanted to see if he is well."

Nian Shilan noticed that Zhen Huan's expression was not right and was a little surprised. Cao Qinmo smiled and stood up and said, "In that case, Concubine Xi should stay in Qingliang Palace to talk to the Imperial Concubine. I have been out for a long time today, and it is time for Princess Wen Yi to take a nap, so I will take my leave first."

Nian Shilan did not keep Cao Qinmo, but smiled and said: "If you have nothing to do, please bring Wen Yi to sit with me more often in the future. Wen Yi is well-behaved and cute, and I really like her very much."

Cao Qinmo smiled and nodded in agreement, then left with Wen Yi.

After Cao Qinmo and Wen Yi left, Nian Shilan asked the servants to take the Fifth Prince out of Qingliang Palace. Only Nian Shilan, Zhen Huan, and their personal maids were left in the palace. Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? You don't look so good."

Zhen Huan considered her words and did not directly answer Nian Shilan's question. She only asked about Nian Gengyao's movements, "I'm afraid the queen will give birth soon. I wonder if Lord Nian and Madam Nian will come to the Mountain Resort to accompany her during the birthing?"

Nian Shilan heard what Zhen Huan said and complained, "I mentioned this to the emperor a few days ago. The emperor said that the Summer Palace is a bit far from the capital and he was worried that my brother would not be able to adapt if my sister-in-law was away from home for too long. So he rejected my proposal and only said that after I return to the Forbidden City, he will make time for my brother and sister-in-law to visit me."

Zhen Huan was a little hesitant when she heard what Nian Shilan said. She thought to herself that since Nian Gengyao could not come to the Mountain Resort, it would be even more difficult to verify whether the contents of the letter were true. She decided to wait and see for a while.

While she was thinking, Nian Shilan suddenly asked, "You came here today not just to care about whether my brother and sister-in-law will come to accompany me during the birth, right?"

Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Nian Shilan something, "Someone wrote to my father, saying that General Nian had planned a huge conspiracy without the emperor's knowledge."

Nian Shilan was shocked. "This is impossible! My brother is loyal to the emperor and would never do such a thing!"

Zhen Huan quickly comforted her, "I also hope that this matter is not true, so I came to discuss it with you."

Nian Shilan frowned, "This matter must be investigated thoroughly! If someone deliberately framed my brother, he must not succeed!"

Zhen Huan nodded, and then Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan and said, "What's going on? You looked a little strange since you saw the carriage in the city that day."

Zhen Huan was silent for a while and then said, "Then you need to control your emotions. I will explain it to you in detail."

Nian Shilan nodded and waited for Zhen Huan's next words.

Zhen Huan told Nian Shilan everything she saw in the carriage that day. Nian Shilan was a little surprised, "What did the servant you saw look like?"

After Zhen Huan's description was clear, Nian Shilan thought carefully for a moment and said with absolute certainty, "It was Li Zhu."

When Zhen Huan heard this man's name, she asked in confusion, "Is he still a servant in your Nian Mansion?"
