Chapter 137: No Way Out Unless You Die

"Your Majesty." An Lingrong knelt forward and saluted.

The emperor didn't even bother to look at her, he just stared at the teacup in his hand and asked, "Why do you want to harm Lady Wan?"

An Lingrong fell to her knees on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of harming Sister Wan!"

The emperor picked up the tea lid and played with it in his hands, "You mean, the person you want to harm is Concubine Hua?"

An Lingrong thought quickly and realized that it would be better to offend Concubine Hua since death was the only option.

Before this, she had also heard about Nian Gengyao's various arrogant and domineering behaviors outside the palace. Although she was not well-educated, she also knew the principle that being too successful would frighten the ruler.

She was just taking a gamble. Hua Fei's good days were coming to an end. The Emperor would not let Hua Fei go when the time came.

"Yes, Concubine Hua was arrogant and domineering in the palace and bullied me many times. I had no choice but to do this in order to protect myself!"

The emperor gently touched the lid of the teacup and said calmly, "What a last resort."

He paused, held the lid of the teacup in his hand, and asked word by word, "Do you have anything else to say?"

An Lingrong didn't expect that the conversation with the emperor would end so quickly and was stunned for a moment.

"It seems there is nothing more to say." The emperor stood up and looked at An Lingrong with a murderous and cruel look in his eyes.

An Lingrong was so frightened that her face turned pale and she could hardly move.

"emperor........"

"Ah!" A scream came from An Lingrong's throat.

Then there was the sound of porcelain hitting the ground and breaking.

An Lingrong felt dizzy and when she touched something with her hand, it was warm and sticky.

There was a small hole on her forehead, and blood was gushing out of it.

The emperor looked at An Lingrong, whose face was covered in blood, with disgust.

"Empress Hua is so kind that she spared your life. I cannot bear to go against her kindness and will banish you to the cold palace, where you will not be allowed to leave until you die!"

The emperor's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting An Lingrong hard.

She stood there in a daze, sneering.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Humph! Ugly woman!"

The emperor was too lazy to look at An Lingrong again and left in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, please stay!" An Lingrong thought of something and called out anxiously. "My crime is the fault of one person. Please don't vent your anger on my family!"

As she said this, she was about to rush out and grab the emperor, but was kicked away by the guard at the door and knocked into the corner.

Su Peisheng walked out from beside the guards and looked at An Lingrong coldly.

"When you entered the palace and were elected as a concubine, the An family was honored. Now that you have been punished, how can the An family escape! Your father has been exiled to Ningguta by the emperor!"

An Lingrong shook her head in horror and grabbed Su Peisheng's legs.

"Eunuch Su, please, let the emperor come back. I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!"

Su Peisheng dodged in annoyance.

"An promised, Concubine Hua gave you a chance and reminded you. It's too late to regret now!"

Su Peisheng waved his whisk and strode away.

An Lingrong fell to the ground, sneering foolishly.

"Your Majesty, you said that Concubine Hua is kind and benevolent. Is this it? Haha!"

An Lingrong was banished to the cold palace less than an hour after the emperor returned to the palace.

When the queen heard the news, she wanted to save her, but there was no time.

However, what made her even more upset was not what happened to An Lingrong, but that not only did she fail to handle Zhen Huan's affairs properly, but she also alerted the enemy and made the Emperor suspicious.

Not only has the Sui Yuxuan now had more guards, but even Zhen Huan has guards closely protecting her whenever she goes out.

Even if the queen wanted to create some unexpected event, there was nothing she could do.

Moreover, after this incident, the relationship between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua became even better.

The emperor also paid more attention to Concubine Hua and asked the best doctors in the entire palace to take turns to look after her.

The Queen felt isolated.

However, the emperor clearly did not punish her in any way.

Time flies and more than a month has passed. It is already May.

Hua Fei's injuries gradually improved and she was able to get out of bed and walk.

Zhen Huan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she would be giving birth in two or three months.

During this period, whenever she had nothing to do, Zhen Huan would run to Yikun Palace and personally serve Concubine Hua.

"My Lady Wan, I am almost fully recovered now. You don't need to come and serve me so frequently in the future. Pregnant women should avoid overwork."

"My queen, are you being so distant with my sister? You risked your life to save me, so why can't I serve you diligently?"

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Concubine Hua was even relieved.

In her previous life, Zhen Huan gradually became hard-hearted after losing her child.

In this life, she saved the child, and the kindness in her nature remained unchanged.

"I am not being distant with you, but you are getting older and need to be careful. I sincerely hope that you, Lady Wan, can give birth to a prince smoothly!"

Concubine Hua still feels scared when she thinks about what happened that night.

Fortunately, Zhen Huan and the baby in her belly were fine.

Seeing that Concubine Hua was so sincere in her advice, Zhen Huan agreed to all her suggestions.

After chatting for a while, Concubine Hua sent Zhen Huan back. It was almost noon. She had been pregnant before and knew that pregnant women were most likely to feel sleepy at this time.

After resolving Zhen Huan's crisis, Concubine Hua began to worry about Nian Gengyao.

During the time she was injured, Nian Gengyao did not come to visit her, which made her somewhat heartbroken.

Just as I was thinking this, Zhou Ninghai came hurriedly to report.

"My lady, General Nian is here to see you!"

Concubine Hua stood up from her chair in shock, "Really?"

Zhou Ninghai smiled and said, "It can't be fake! He's waiting outside the palace gate!"

Hua Fei was stunned for a moment. She thought Nian Gengyao was really angry with her, but she didn't expect...

My brother Nian Gengyao still misses me.

"Please invite my brother in quickly!" she said to Zhou Ninghai.

Concubine Hua came to the front hall, picked up some rouge and applied it on her lips to make herself look better.

There were hurried footsteps outside.

"Sister, brother is here to see you!"

A powerful and deep voice sounded. Hua Fei looked up and saw the tall and strong middle-aged man with a beard in front of her. Who else could it be but her brother?

She stood up happily and shouted, "Brother!"

Because she was too happy, Concubine Hua forgot that she was injured.

When she stood up, her wound was directly affected, and she couldn't help but cry out!

Nian Gengyao stepped forward anxiously and supported her arm. "Does the wound still hurt?"

Hua Fei's face was a little pale, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

"It's okay. I'll be well soon."

Nian Gengyao sighed, "You have always been so strong-willed since you were a child!"

As he spoke, Nian Gengyao took out three small porcelain bottles from his arms and said, "This is the secret medicine from the northwest that my brother asked someone to bring to you. It is especially effective for healing wounds. Even if the scar is deep, you can apply this to make it lighter."

Looking at the three small porcelain bottles in Nian Gengyao's hand, Concubine Hua's eyes turned red.

"Brother, you are so good to Shilan!"

Nian Gengyao's nose felt sore and he waved his hand, "It's only natural for a brother to love his sister!"
