The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Thinking of this, the emperor was less suspicious of Nian Shilan. He gently took Nian Shilan's hand and said lovingly, "I believe you."

Nian Shilan listened to the emperor's promise with a gentle and considerate look on her face, but she sneered in her heart.

The emperor has never believed in me. If he believed in me, why would he not listen to my explanation and slaughter the entire Nian family? However, I still need the emperor's favor now, and there is no need to argue with him at this time.

The emperor had been here for some time, and he seemed to suddenly realize that something was missing from the Yikun Palace. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively, "Why didn't I smell the scent of Huanyi incense in your palace today? Did you run out of it?"

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's words, her heart ached, but she pretended to be calm on the surface and said to the emperor with a smile: "I have been busy today and have not had time to burn incense until now."

"If I run out of it in the future, will Your Majesty still be willing to give me some more?" When Nian Shilan asked, she still had some expectations for the emperor in her heart. If the emperor didn't give her any more, she would also be willing to let go of the things in her previous life. Nian Shilan still had some feelings for the emperor, after all, he was the only man she had in these two lives.

When the emperor heard what Nian Shilan said, he said without thinking, "Reward, what I love most is the smell of Huan Yi Xiang on my beloved concubine."

When Nian Shilan heard this, she felt hopeless and could not help but mock herself in her heart for being so ridiculous. After experiencing her previous life, she still had such fantasies about the emperor. When tears were about to fall from Nian Shilan's eyes, she turned around quickly, fearing that the emperor would notice something, and changed the subject, "Your Majesty, are you going to have lunch in my palace today?"

The emperor smiled cheerfully, "Of course I want it. I wonder what is being cooked in the small kitchen in my beloved concubine's palace today?"

Nian Shilan heard the emperor's question and looked at him pretending to be happy. "Then I will ask the palace maids in the kitchen to bring it up."

At this time, Songzhi spoke up for her own queen, "The queen asks the small kitchen in Yikun Palace to prepare the emperor's favorite meals every day, for fear that the emperor will come one day without a comfortable meal."

"Stop talking too much." Nian Shilan scolded, as if she was reprimanding Songzhi.

"I'm talking to the Emperor, so you don't have to speak too much." Then she looked at the Emperor shyly. Her manner was just right, not deliberate, and made the Emperor very satisfied.

"Hahaha, my beloved concubine is so thoughtful." The emperor couldn't help feeling a little satisfied when listening to what Songzhi said. Shilan has always loved him so deeply, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for Shilan.

The emperor thought to himself that although as an emperor he could not be devoted to Shilan alone, it would not be excessive for him to give her more love.

However, the emperor still did not forget the real purpose of his visit.

Halfway through the meal, the emperor pretended to mention it casually, "Lobsang Danjin in Qinghai has rebelled, and the situation in the northwest is unstable. I want your brother to go and quell it."

When Nian Shilan heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

The emperor never mentioned this matter to me in his previous life, but it was indeed my brother who went to pacify it. I'm afraid he mentioned it to me now just to test me.

Nian Shilan had a plan in mind, so she stood up, walked to the emperor and knelt down.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I have always kept this in mind."

When the emperor saw Nian Shilan's behavior, he quickly pulled her up. Although he was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes. "It's okay. Nian Gengyao is your brother, and it's also a family matter."

Nian Shilan knew that she had to say something to dispel the emperor's suspicion, so she slowly said, "Although Nian Gengyao is my brother, he is also your subject. Your Majesty can think of sending me, it is my blessing, and I will do my best for your Majesty."

After that, Nian Shilan sighed again, "Although I am worried about my brother's health and don't want him to go, I also know that the emperor's order is hard to disobey, so I will follow the emperor's arrangements."

He acted as if you are the emperor and whatever you say is the truth and the emperor can't do anything about it, which made the emperor laugh.

"I know that you two siblings have a deep affection for each other. I promise you that after your brother comes back, I will not summon him unless it is an urgent matter. Let him rest in the mansion." The emperor said at the right time. This was also his plan.

If there was no one available to help with the Qinghai rebellion, he would never have wanted Nian Gengyao to quell it. He was now in the limelight, and the emperor was really afraid that he would become too powerful.

When Nian Shilan heard this, she immediately begged the emperor happily: "Your Majesty, this is what you promised me. A gentleman's word is as good as gold. You must not deceive me."

The emperor felt relieved when he saw that Nian Shilan's happiness did not seem fake.

"Su Peisheng." The emperor suddenly shouted.

"I'm here." Eunuch Su stepped forward quickly and waited for the emperor's instructions.

"I remember that General Jilin presented a pot of Dongzhu as tribute some time ago. You should personally deliver it to Concubine Hua later." After the meal, the emperor wiped his mouth and instructed Su Peisheng.

"Yes." Su Peisheng responded quickly.

"Your Majesty, I thank you." Nian Shilan also said happily to the emperor.

This time, Nian Shilan was really happy. Although she had always been spoiled by her brother since she entered the palace and had no shortage of money, who would complain about having too much money?

I also have to prepare for leaving the palace in the future, right?

Yes, Nian Shilan’s current plan is to try her best to protect the Nian Shi family and then fake her death and leave the palace.

After the emperor finished his meal, he left the Yikun Palace, using the excuse that there were other matters waiting to be dealt with in the imperial study.

Nian Shilan also hurriedly called Songzhi, wrote a letter home, and sent a carrier pigeon to fly back to the Nian Mansion with the letter.

After finishing these things, it was already the Shen time. After thinking about it, he asked Songzhi to quietly find Doctor Wen and tell him to come to Yiku Palace at the Hai time.

Nian Shilan wanted to take Wen Shichu to check on Qi Yuebin. She heard that Qi Yuebin's health was getting worse day by day and he was bedridden all day. Nian Shilan felt bad.

Nian Shilan wanted to find Wen Shichu because there was no better candidate. In her previous life, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen knew that she had musk in her body, but they kept it a secret. She no longer trusted them. Zhang Mi, the imperial physician, was someone close to the emperor and the queen. If she went there rashly, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the emperor and the queen. She was not very familiar with other imperial physicians.

It seems that if he has the chance, he should find a way to keep a royal physician by his side. If it is a female doctor, it would be even better. Nian Shilan thought about what he asked the secret guard to do for him, and he didn't know whether his sister-in-law could find someone useful, so he couldn't help but start to worry.
