The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 42 Strange bedfellows

In Yikun Palace, after Songzhi calmed down, Nian Shilan said with a smile: "Okay, you are an adult now, but you are still crying like a child."

Songzhi wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth, for fear that she would burst into tears again if she opened her mouth.

Nian Shilan wiped Songzhi's tears and said gently, "Don't mention what happened today again, and don't show your true colors in front of the emperor, lest the emperor be on guard against us."

Songzhi nodded and asked, "Madam, what about Huanyixiang..."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "It's okay. I have my own use for it."

Nian Shilan thought of her previous life, when Guaerjia Wenyuan stepped on the Nian family to enter the palace, but repeatedly ridiculed her, and eventually she was banished to the cold palace, all because of her.

In her previous life, Nian Shilan did not intend to bribe the palace maids and burn down Yuxuan. She loved the emperor wholeheartedly in her previous life, and it was true that she was jealous of Zhen Huan for sharing her favor, and her family's downfall was also related to Zhen Huan. But no matter how stupid she was, she would not attack Zhen Huan at the height of the storm after Zhou Ninghai and others were all ordered to be beaten to death by the emperor.

Everything was just a plot by the Queen and Guarjia Wenyuan. The reason why she asked to see the Emperor in the cold palace was just to let the Emperor find out the real culprit and clear herself of the guilt.

I don’t know whether Guaerjia Wenyuan will enter the palace again in this life. If she is really lucky enough to enter the palace and become a concubine like in her previous life, then I will definitely reward her with the Huanyixiang bestowed by the emperor himself. Such a good spice cannot be wasted, right?

Seeing that Nian Shilan had already made a plan, Songzhi did not ask any more questions and obediently put the Huanyixiang into the warehouse.

Nian Shilan sat in the palace and thought carefully about how to casually mention to the emperor the matter of the Nian family returning the military power so that the emperor would no longer be suspicious of his brother's family.

After dinner in the evening, the emperor finally calmed down and went to Sui Yuxuan, planning to stay overnight with Zhen Huan.

When Zhen Huan saw the emperor, she immediately put on a little girl's attitude and said, "Your Highness, I am honored to meet you."

The emperor helped Zhen Huan up, patted her hands and said, "Do you like what I prepared for you today?"

Zhen Huan smiled and threw herself into the emperor's arms, "Silang, I love it so much. It feels like a dream."

The emperor was also very happy to hear Zhen Huan's gentle words, "Come, accompany me to take a look."

Zhen Huan took the emperor's arm and entered the bedroom. The emperor lifted the quilt and looked at the rows of red dates, peanuts, longans and lotus seeds underneath. He smiled and asked Zhen Huan, "Do you know what this means?"

Zhen Huan blushed and said nothing. The emperor gave Su Peisheng a look and Su Peisheng hurried down.

The emperor sat on the couch with Zhen Huan. Su Peisheng brought a bowl of dumplings and presented it respectfully with both hands. The emperor scooped up one and fed it to Zhen Huan's mouth.

Zhen Huan took a bite and said in surprise, "Raw."

The emperor laughed, "You said so."

Zhen Huan turned around in anger and shame, with her back to the emperor.

The emperor hugged Zhen Huan from behind and said softly, "My Wan Wan is so charming even when she is angry."

Zhen Huan twisted her body in coordination, complaining in her heart that she was a champion in palace fighting in her previous life, but now she had to accompany the emperor to perform such boring boudoir fun, which was really annoying.

The Emperor hugged Zhen Huan for a while, and then he said as if to explain, "The court has been busy recently, and Nian Gengyao has just put down the Qinghai rebellion. I can't ignore Concubine Hua, so I came to your place tonight."

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Of course, the Nian family is loyal to the court, and the emperor should visit Concubine Hua more often. Only when the harem is peaceful can the court be devoted."

After hearing this, the emperor said with a look of relief: "The one who understands me is Wanwan."

Zhen Huan smiled and said nothing more.

The emperor pretended to mention it casually, "I heard today that Madam Nian Gengyao was in Yikun Palace, and you sent someone to deliver a tray of snacks. Concubine Hua opposed you in every way, but you still sent someone to visit her. You were thoughtful."

When Zhen Huan heard this, she knew that the emperor really had a lot of spies in the palace, and she hurriedly said the excuse she had prepared long ago: "Yes, Empress Hua is a little arrogant and domineering, but it is also the true nature of the palace. Today, Empress Hua's family members are entering the palace. As a concubine, I must send some cakes to show my gratitude, and also to highlight that everyone in the palace respects the Empress."

The emperor was very pleased when he heard Zhen Huan's words. Among all the people in the harem, except Chun Yuan, Zhen Huan was the most sensible. The emperor couldn't help but feel a little more loving and compassionate towards Zhen Huan in his heart.

The Emperor and Zhen Huan had another night of love. The Emperor was unusually gentle and affectionate, and made Zhen Huan beg for mercy several times. However, the Emperor remained unmoved and forced Zhen Huan to keep calling him Si Lang. Zhen Huan was finally exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

After the emperor was completely relieved, he saw that Zhen Huan was already asleep, smiled dotingly, and carried her to wash her.

After Zhen Huan woke up the next day, she heard Liuzhu and Huanbi talking about how the emperor treated her. She didn't care at all, but even sneered. Knowing what happened in her previous life, Zhen Huan no longer had the initial admiration and pure love for the emperor. She also knew that the emperor regarded her as a substitute for Queen Chunyuan. Zhen Huan felt a little disgusted, and thought about how she was just blinded by love in her previous life. She told Nian Shilan the truth, which led to Concubine Hua committing suicide in the cold palace. The emperor then used Queen Chunyuan's deliberate excuse to punish herself, and Zhen Huan saw the emperor clearly.

The emperor had feelings for Queen Chunyuan, but when Chunyuan was pregnant, he let Chunyuan's sister take care of her and allowed Ulanara Yixiu to kill Chunyuan.

He had some true feelings for Nian Shilan, but he secretly ordered the imperial physician to prepare Huan Yi Xiang, depriving Nian Shilan of her right to be a mother, just because he was afraid of the Nian family.

He later developed some affection for her, but he could not resist the suspicion in his heart. The emperor loved no one, he only loved power, status and himself.
