The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 22 Nian Shilan's New Ally

Zhen Huan waited patiently in the Sui Yuxuan for a few days, but Concubine Hua never came again and didn't give her any instructions.

On the other hand, Sister Mei and An Lingrong were the most popular at the time, and Concubine Hua often helped them.

The emperor knew that Sister Mei loved chrysanthemums, so he gave her green chrysanthemums all over the palace, and changed her Chang Xi Tang into Cun Ju Tang, which was very similar to the one in the dream.

As for An Lingrong, the emperor gave her some rewards and promoted her position. Now she is also An Changzai.

In the entire harem, apart from Concubine Hua and Sister Mei, Concubine An is the most favored.

Zhen Huan thought about it for several days and could not escape the inner torment. She wanted to verify the truth in her dream so much that she decided to secretly ask Huanbi to invite Concubine Hua to come over later to chat.

In the dream, the hatred between him and Concubine Hua came from the emperor. The emperor wanted to compete with Concubine Hua by using Sister Mei, but Sister Mei was not careful enough and was confined by Concubine Hua for faking pregnancy to win favor. The emperor then started to think of his own ideas, but unfortunately, he was still inexperienced at that time and was the first to be criticized again and again. After Concubine Hua died, the emperor treated him much worse than before.

Even after she came back from Ganlu Temple in her dream, the emperor was calculating towards her and never had any sincerity. So Zhen Huan wanted to test Nian Shilan. If the two of them could really foresee the future, then they might as well work together to save the family. After all, judging from the current situation, Concubine Hua might not love the emperor that deeply.

I have been sick in the palace and it is not easy for me to move around. I am also a little worried, wondering whether Concubine Hua will come.

When Concubine Hua heard Huanbi say that Zhen Huan wanted to talk to her, she was a little surprised for a moment, but she still responded: "I know, I will go later."

When Huanbi heard that Nian Shilan agreed, she didn't stay any longer. She bowed and left, returning to Suiyuxuan.

When Zhen Huan heard Huanbi say that Concubine Hua agreed to come later, she felt a little more at ease and waited quietly for Concubine Hua.

Thinking that Liuzhu's cooking skills have always been excellent, she ordered Liuzhu to prepare some food for Nian Shilan, thinking that Concubine Hua would be willing to eat some.

After dinner, hearing that the emperor stayed in Cunju Hall, Nian Shilan took Songzhi and quietly went to Suiyuxuan.

When they arrived at the entrance of Suiyuxuan, Nian Shilan saw Xiao Yunzi at the door, but Kang Luhai had disappeared long ago, so she prepared to ask Xiao Yunzi to pass on the message.

Little Yunzi quickly knelt down to greet Nian Shilan: "Greetings to Her Majesty Hua Fei, my young master has been waiting for Her Majesty in the main hall for a long time."

Nian Shilan didn't say anything else and took Songzhi to the main hall.

Along the way, Nian Shilan had no idea why Zhen Huan called her over this time.

After entering the main hall, I saw Zhen Huan sitting alone on a chair.

Just as Zhen Huan was about to stand up and salute Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua said, "No need. You are not feeling well. Just sit there."

After saying that, he walked over and sat down on a chair without much concern.

He looked around but didn't see Jinxi and Huanbi. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

"Are you feeling better recently?" Nian Shilan didn't ask in a hurry, but first asked about Zhen Huan's health.

Zhen Huan smiled faintly and thanked Concubine Hua, "Thank you for your concern, my concubine is feeling better now."

Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan's worried face and was a little surprised. "What do you want to talk to me about? Is there something wrong with your family? Or something else?"

Zhen Huan looked at Song Zhi, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "I asked the Concubine Hua to come here this time because I have some doubts in my heart. I just wonder if the Concubine Hua is willing to answer my questions and clear up my confusion?"

Nian Shilan saw that she had been sitting there for a while and Zhen Huan still didn't speak directly, and she guessed that Zhen Huan might not want Song Zhi to hear what she was going to say next.

Nian Shilan said to Songzhi gently, "You go down too, go to the door and guard it. No one will be allowed in unless I speak."

"Your Majesty..." Songzhi glanced at Zhen Huan and said with some concern.

But he saw Nian Shilan clapping her hands, and knew that Concubine Hua had made up her mind. There was no point in saying more, so he retreated obediently and guarded the door.

After Songzhi left, Nian Shilan glanced at Zhen Huan and said with interest: "Now that there is no one in the bedroom, you can speak now."

Zhen Huan thought about it for an entire afternoon and decided to tell the truth. However, she couldn't reveal everything because this kind of thing was too unbelievable.

"I had a dream the night I first entered the palace. In the dream, you gave Concubine Xia a slash of red on the day the new bride entered the palace..." Having said this, Zhen Huan stopped and looked at Nian Shilan's reaction.

At this time, Nian Shilan was very surprised, her eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened.

When Zhen Huan saw this look, her heart was filled with turmoil. Could it be that all this had happened before?

Nian Shilan calmed down, waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "If I really gave Concubine Xia a slap in the face, I'm afraid she wouldn't have to copy the palace rules in the palace now."

Zhen Huan looked at Nian Shilan and continued, "I also dreamed of An Lingrong's first time sleeping with the emperor. She was trembling with fear for the emperor, but the emperor returned her intact."

Seeing that Nian Shilan's expression did not change, Zhen Huan added fuel to the fire, "I also tested Lingrong afterwards, and Lingrong said that if the queen had not informed her in advance, she would have been trembling because of the narcissus juice poisoning when she slept with him."

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan straightened her expression, her hands in her sleeves gripping the armrests of the chair tightly, and pretended to be indifferent, "I just accidentally discovered that someone wanted to frame An Changzai, and because she just left my palace, I didn't want people to misunderstand that I couldn't tolerate concubines in the harem, so I helped her a little."

Zhen Huan thought about it and decided to tell her the thing that hurt Nian Shilan the most, in order to stimulate Nian Shilan and make her want to know the truth.

"I also dreamed that my father joined forces with Lord Emin to accuse General Nian of 92 crimes, and finally the entire Nian family was executed." Zhen Huan said word by word.

Nian Shilan was furious when she heard this. "How dare you, as a concubine, speak nonsense and curse our Nian family. Zhen Huan, how many brains do you have?"

Zhen Huan was frightened by Nian Shilan's reaction. She didn't know whether her dream was real or not. She quickly got down to the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I just wanted to verify whether the things in my dream were true or not. If they were true, I am willing to protect the Nian family with Your Majesty."

Nian Shilan calmed down for a long time, sat on the chair and began to think, if she could be reborn miraculously, how could Zhen Huan not dream about the future?

After thinking about it, Nian Shilan decided to admit it and face it all. After all, Zhen Huan also said that she was willing to protect the Nian family with her, so why not trust her once? Zhen Huan's brain and strategy were also amazing, otherwise how could she have ascended the throne of the Queen Mother at such a young age, and now there were only the two of them in the palace, and the personal maids were all outside.

When I asked Songzhi to go out just now, I was also signaling her to go out and see if Cui Jinxi and the others were outside. If not, Songzhi would come in to find me immediately.

Songzhi didn't come back, but Nian Shilan heard two gentle knocks on the door, and she knew everything was normal. This was a secret signal belonging to the two of them alone.

In such an environment, Nian Shilan had nothing to be afraid of admitting. If Zhen Huan dared to tell others about it, they would probably think she was insane and could send her to the cold palace with a flick of her finger, never to leave.

"Get up. Yes, everything you said has happened before." Nian Shilan's voice came faintly.
