The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, the man in the black nightgown said calmly, "Now everyone in the Old Summer Palace is busy packing their things, thinking about how to dress up to look great in front of the emperor tomorrow. How can they have the energy to stare at me?"

Nian Shilan frowned and asked, "Are you here for something today?"

The man in black smiled upon hearing this. There was a hint of sadness and mockery in his laughter. "Do you know why I'm back in Beijing this time?"

Nian Shilan said in confusion: "Didn't they say that the Queen Mother was seriously ill?"

The man in black mocked again, "Do you know that the Queen Mother is seriously ill this time because the Emperor gave her poison?"

Nian Shilan heard this and said indifferently: "It is understandable that she poisoned the emperor. After all, what the queen mother did to the emperor is indeed unbearable for ordinary people."

The man in black heard what Nian Shilan said and nodded, "Yes, you see, those who know the inside story will think that what the emperor did is understandable. This is what the emperor wants."

When Nian Shilan heard what the man in black said, she realized something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"

The man in black did not keep the secret and said slowly, "I found out a few days ago that the scroll was planned by the Queen Mother. Even though she is imprisoned in the torture chamber, her connections and network are still there, and they will still do things for her according to the Queen Mother's original plan. Once they use the scroll to pull you down from the altar, your Nian family will be ruined and your entire family will be executed."

Nian Shilan's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and she said in disbelief, "She wants to dethrone me with just a scroll? She is simply wishful thinking!"

The man in black continued slowly, "The news I found out is that there is a stone statue in the border area that is short of food and grass. The person on it is carved lifelike and is no different from you. The people living there believe that you are the god of their tribe, and they all know your current identity. The phrase they often say is, 'If you study the art of witchcraft well, then one day you can also seduce the monarch and become the mother of this country.' I think this news will be passed to the emperor soon. Of course, it is not ruled out that all this was planned by the emperor and the queen mother together."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan felt as if struck by lightning and her body was about to fall.

"Oh... good intentions, good methods... worthy of being the one who can sit firmly on the throne of Queen Mother." Nian Shilan muttered to herself absentmindedly.

The man in black quickly supported her and comforted her softly, "Don't panic. I have sent people to destroy the statue. I think they should arrive before they find it."

Nian Shilan took a deep breath and calmed herself down, "Have your people been nearby?"

The man in black laughed faintly, "Have you forgotten where I came from? My country is very close to there."

The man in black was Han Yun from Siam, now the Empress Mi of the Qing Dynasty. After she entered the palace, she became Nian Shilan's person within a few days.

Siam was originally a small country and had no choice but to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. However, as a princess of Siam, Han Yun had someone she loved, but due to her status, she had to come to the Qing Dynasty for the sake of their people. As a member of the Qing emperor's harem, she was depressed all the way, and even lit the aphrodisiac incense unique to their country during the nights when she served the emperor.

The purpose of this incense is that it can arouse people's emotions and make them regard the person in front of them as their beloved one.

As for the later time when the Emperor asked Nian Shilan to deliver the "pregnancy-preserving medicine" to Han Yun, the former Empress Ulanara Yixiu used Nian Shilan to deliver the contraceptive medicine to Han Yun. All these conspiracies and plots were under Nian Shilan's surveillance, and the two of them were just taking advantage of Han Yun's unilateral heart-to-heart talk.

However, because of this deep hatred, Nian Shilan and Han Yun certainly could not be friends openly, but they often exchanged letters in private.

Nian Shilan felt relieved when she heard Hanyun say that the people she sent would help her to damage the statue. Then she thought of something and asked, "What will the people of that tribe do if the statue is damaged?"

Mi Fei said indifferently: "Of course there is no need to stay, let's just wipe out the family together."

Nian Shilan trembled a little, wanting to say something, but she didn't open her mouth.

Mi Fei naturally understood Nian Shilan's concerns, and said comfortingly: "You don't have to be heartless. There are only a few families in that tribe. As for those people, they are all extremely evil people. They want to use witchcraft to achieve something beneficial to themselves. On weekdays, they burn, kill, rob and do whatever they want to the civilians nearby!"

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, getting rid of them can also ensure the safety of the people of our two countries."

"Then I'll trouble you." Nian Shilan looked at Han Yun with firm eyes.

Mi Fei nodded slightly, "There's no need to be polite between you and me. If it weren't for you, he probably wouldn't be alive until now."

Nian Shilan naturally knew who the "he" mentioned by Concubine Mi belonged to. Nian Shilan still remembered the day when Hanyun talked about her acquaintance and friendship with her beloved in the palace. Nian Shilan couldn't help but think of herself who had given her heart to the emperor before. It's just that Hanyun is luckier than herself, and the person she likes also treats her sincerely. Nian Shilan couldn't help but be moved by them, so she made a promise to Hanyun on impulse that if Hanyun could become someone she could use in the palace, then she would be willing to send some people to take good care of the person Hanyun likes so that he could live a smooth life. After Hanyun and Nian Shilan reached an agreement, Nian Shilan would always reveal some news about that person to Hanyun after a period of time.

The reason why Nian Shilan used the person Han Yun liked to discuss cooperation with Han Yun was because his brother Nian Gengyao had investigated earlier that Han Yun and that man were madly in love at that time. Their country of Siam also had one and only one kind of poison, called Lover's Gu. If the two people who took this poison changed their hearts in the future, the person who changed his heart would die within three days with festering all over his body. Once the poison took effect, there was no medicine to cure it. And when the person who changed his heart died, the Gu worm in the body of the other surviving person would also become ineffective and be excreted within seven days.

Before Han Yun came to the Qing Dynasty, she and that man had taken this love poison together. That was why Nian Shilan felt relieved to be with Han Yun. After all, she would not treat Han Yun harshly. If Han Yun betrayed her, there would only be one reason, that is, she loved the emperor. But if that day really came, it would also be the day of Han Yun's death.
