The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 214: No Escape

Nian Shilan was very surprised when she heard the emperor's answer, "How... could this be possible!"

Just then, Xiao Xia Zi, who was guarding the door of Qingliang Palace, hurried into the palace, glanced at Nian Shilan, then at the emperor, and hesitated.

The emperor was a little displeased when he saw this and said, "What happened? Why are you so slow?"

Xiao Xiazi hesitated for a moment, then hardened her heart and knelt down and said, "In reply to the emperor, I just found a letter outside the Qingliang Palace. I don't know who sent it, but the letter clearly stated that it was for the Imperial Concubine."

The emperor frowned and said, "Bring it here, I'll take a look!"

Xiao Xiazi stepped forward cautiously, presented the letter with both hands, and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the letter and saw what was written on it. He was stunned. Nian Shilan looked puzzled and called out twice: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

The emperor did not answer, so Nian Shilan had to reach out and take the letter from the emperor's hand and start reading it.

When the emperor reacted, he wanted to take it away, but Nian Shilan had already finished reading it quickly. At this time, Nian Shilan's face was pale and her eyes were a little dull.

The emperor saw this and asked with concern: "Shilan, are you okay?"

Nian Shilan seemed not to hear and let the emperor shake her. The emperor was a little anxious and raised his voice a little, "Shilan, are you okay?"

Nian Shilan's eyes were filled with tears, and the tears fell one by one as if they were free. Seeing this, the emperor wiped Nian Shilan's tears with great distress and said, "Shilan, don't cry."

Nian Shilan choked up and said, "Your Majesty, this is fake, right? My brother will be fine, right?" After saying that, she began to sob softly again.

The emperor quickly comforted her, "Shilan, don't be too sad. I will send the best doctor to treat your brother."

Nian Shilan continued to cry: "Thank you, Your Majesty... But, I still want to go back to the capital to see my brother in person, otherwise I will always be worried."

After hearing Nian Shilan's idea, the emperor refused without hesitation: "Shilan, no, you just disturbed your fetus, you can't have a bumpy journey."

Nian Shilan cried and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, I beg you, my father and mother have passed away, and my brother is the only relative I have left. I am really worried about my brother."

Nian Shilan was already crying, and the emperor comforted her kindly, "Shilan, I will send a royal doctor to treat your brother, please believe me."

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor expectantly and said, "Your Majesty, can you have my brother sent to the Mountain Resort for treatment? I can't go back to see my brother, so can you let him come here? Your Majesty, I beg you."

The emperor was naturally very hesitant about what Nian Shilan said. When he was thinking about how to refuse Nian Shilan, Yun'er whispered beside him: "Sister, don't cry. You just disturbed the fetus. If you keep crying like this, you will have a premature birth."

When the emperor heard Yun'er's words, his heart tightened, and then he said, "Okay, Shilan, don't cry, I promise you."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan wanted to get off the bed and thank the emperor, but the emperor stopped her, "Don't bother yourself, take care of yourself."

Nian Shilan nodded, and then a shrill scream outside the Qingliang Palace broke the atmosphere in the palace that was gradually getting out of control.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Who is it? You don't know the rules, why are you making so much noise?"

Lingzhi hurried into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, I was afraid that you would be hungry when you woke up, so I asked Chunxia to go to the kitchen to prepare some porridge for you. But I found a eunuch hanging himself in the kitchen."

After hearing this, the emperor was a little angry and asked: "Who is the one who committed suicide? What is his responsibility on weekdays?"

Lingzhi replied respectfully: "In reply to the emperor, the eunuch who committed suicide was Kang Luhai, who was usually responsible for making snacks for the imperial concubine."

Upon hearing this, the emperor quickly ordered: "Su Peisheng, go to his room and search it carefully to see if there are any clues."

Kang Luhai was specially placed in the small kitchen by Nian Shilan. Everything that happened today was carefully calculated by Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan knew too well what kind of bastard Kang Luhai was, so they knew that after he came to Qingliang Palace, he would be bribed by Li Changzai. Nian Shilan knew everything that Li Changzai and Chun Changzai talked about in the palace that day, because now Li Changzai and Chun Changzai have their own spies around them.

After a while, Su Peisheng entered the palace with a letter of confession, walked up to the emperor, knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this is what I found in Kang Luhai's room."

The emperor took the confession, read it quickly, and his face became extremely gloomy.

"Well! What a wicked slave! How dare you betray your master for glory!" The emperor slammed the table angrily and stood up.

Nian Shilan was not at all surprised by this confession, but she was a little puzzled as to why the emperor was so angry only about Kang Luhai's betrayal? Could it be that the emperor's eyes were dim and he didn't see who was behind the scenes?

So Nian Shilan said softly, "Your Majesty, calm down. Could it be that Kang Luhai was responsible for my premature birth?"

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan with some reluctance in his heart. After thinking for a while, he told the truth: "It was not just Kang Luhai who did it. In his letter, Kang Luhai also revealed that his accomplices included Li Changzai and Chun Changzai."

Nian Shilan didn't expect the emperor to tell her so frankly. She put on an expression of disbelief. Her face suddenly turned as pale as window paper, and her eyes were full of confusion and anger: "I have never had any major grudges with Li Changzai and Chun Changzai. How could they..."

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan's sad face and comforted her: "Shilan, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely give you justice. As for Kang Luhai, he is really abominable. He betrayed his master and sought glory. He deserves death. Come, drag his body out and feed it to the dogs!"

Nian Shilan's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision for me. I just want my child to be born safely. Why is it so difficult?"

Listening to Nian Shilan's words, the emperor couldn't help but think of a series of events that had happened in the palace recently. First, poisonous snakes were put into Nian Shilan's Changle Palace, then the fifth prince and the seventh prince were poisoned, and then Nian Shilan gave birth prematurely.

The emperor has always known that the harem will not be peaceful, but the emperor cannot accept their vicious hearts and their desire to hurt people's lives every time. Thinking of this, the emperor said in a cold voice: "Shilan, don't worry, I will not let them off easily this time!"
