The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

"Your Majesty, today Noble Nian went to Baohua Palace to receive the paper money. On the way back, she had a few words with Noble Qi. Everything else is fine."

Su Peisheng reported the news brought by Xiao Xia Zi to the emperor as usual.

The emperor tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Today is Nian Gengyao's 37th day after his death. It's good for her to vent her anger." However, he did not ask about the matter of taking paper money privately, nor did he mention Concubine Qi at all.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng understood that the emperor would not pursue the matter of Concubine Nian secretly offering sacrifices to Nian Gengyao. Seeing that the emperor seemed to have something else to say, he hurriedly said:

"Right now, Concubine Cao is accompanying Young Master Nian in the Yikun Palace."

The emperor stopped tapping the table, picked up the memorial, and replied softly, "Well, it's not that rare. It's so cold today, so let your people continue to take care of it. When everything stabilizes in the spring, let him return to the imperial court."

It seems that the emperor has other plans for Concubine Nian after the spring. Su Peisheng said happily: "I thank the emperor on behalf of Xiao Xiazi. I will pay extra attention to Concubine Nian."

Only then did a faint smile appear in the emperor's eyes, and he picked up the memorial and began to review it carefully.

In Yongshou Palace, Zhen Huan knew that the opportunity she had been waiting for had come when she found out that Concubine Nian had gone to Baohua Palace. To be on the safe side, she summoned Xiao Yunzi:

"Have you investigated thoroughly? There must not be any mistakes in this matter."

Xiao Yunzi said cautiously: "I have inquired many times, and the guards at the back door of Yikun Palace are not very strict at night. I am sure that no one will find out."

After Nian Shilan was demoted, most of the palace maids in Yikun Palace were sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to await reallocation. Now there are only eight people serving her in her palace, which is not enough in the huge Yikun Palace. In addition, the emperor now treats her coldly, and there are not many people who are loyal to her, so her defense is naturally lax.

The most important thing is that there are guards in the palace, and no one would have thought that Zhen Huan would let Xiao Yunzi sneak into her palace in the middle of the night.

After getting Xiao Yunzi's affirmation, Zhen Huan winked at Jinxi, who handed Xiao Yunzi several handkerchiefs with anesthetic effects prepared by Doctor Wen and instructed him:

"Go back to sleep now, get everything ready and wait until midnight before you do anything."

After Xiao Yunzi took the order and left, Zhen Huan also closed her eyes and began to wait for the result.

After Concubine Cao in Yikun Palace accompanied Nian Shilan in grief, she still advised her to look forward to everything.

Nian Shilan glanced at Xiao Xiazi, who was standing with his hands down, and said sadly, "Now in this palace, you are the only one who is not afraid of being dragged down, and you come to see me from time to time. Don't worry, I know what you mean. It is better to live a miserable life than to die. You should always think about the emperor."

Xiao Xia Zi didn't know much about Nian Shilan, so she was delighted when she heard this. It seemed that Noble Lady Nian had finally figured it out and would live a peaceful life in the palace in the future.

But Concubine Cao knew her too well. They had a secret conversation in the inner room for a long time that night. Nian Shilan was obsessed with revenge and even made a rare backup plan. She gave her some silver and asked her to find out whether Nian Gengyao had found anything wrong with Zhen Yuandao before his death. She dared not reveal any of this to anyone.

In recent days, Nian Shilan's behavior has become more and more peaceful, and Concubine Cao is very afraid. The calmer she is, the more terrifying she will be when she explodes. However, Concubine Cao has asked her many times, but Nian Shilan has not told her specific plan of revenge.

Today she wanted to find out more from the side, but Xiao Xia Zi followed Nobleman Nian closely, so she had no chance and had to leave first.

After Concubine Cao left, Nian Shilan's expression changed and she sneered, "Xia Zi, I'm tired of you, so go and do your work. I'll call you if I have something to ask."

Xiao Xia Zi understood that she was angry that she had sent someone to convey a message to the emperor, so she did not dare to say anything more and bowed and left.

After Lingzhi helped Nobleman Nian to lie down, she stayed on the bed to keep watch over him all night.

Nian Shilan lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. Today was her brother's 37th day after his death. She should hate him, but when she thought about the fact that the emperor still had expectations in his heart, wasn't Xiao Xiazi's behavior proof that he cared about her?

But in the blink of an eye, she began to despise herself. Her brother and nephew all died under the emperor's decree, but she could not hate this man at all. She could only regret that she was deeply in love without realizing it.

There seemed to be two voices in her heart that were tempting her at the same time. One said that the emperor was heartless and selfish and she should be heartless and break up with him completely. The other said that emperors always have to do things against their will, the court is ever-changing, and it is always the villains who are causing trouble and leading her and the emperor to the current situation.

In the end, the latter statement prevailed. Concubine Nian held her head in pain, her desire for revenge even stronger. She would make Zhen Huan pay for her brother's life during the family dinner on New Year's Eve.

What outsiders don’t know is that Concubine Nian has to experience the painful pulling every night before going to bed. She wants to use this pain to remind herself that she is still alive.

The extreme heartache made Concubine Nian dazed. She stared at the tent and her eyes finally slowly closed, but she still slept uneasily.

In the middle of the night, Nian Shilan vaguely heard some noise in the house, and she shouted tiredly:

"Song, Lingzhi, what's that noise?"

What answered her was Lingzhi's sweet snoring.

The nobleman opened his eyes, drew aside the bed curtain, struggled to get up from the bed, and walked towards the sound.

In the outer room, Xiao Xia Zi was leaning against the bed and was also in a deep sleep, but the incense in the incense burner was still burning. A white shadow was faintly standing in the smoke, lowering his head to sniff the fragrance.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan broke out in a cold sweat and her sleepiness instantly disappeared. She boldly asked:

"Who is playing tricks here?"

The figure did not reply to her, but just said to himself:

"What a strong musk scent! It can remove filth and remove impurities. It is the best medicine for me."

The voice was shrill and ethereal, not seeming to be a human voice. However, Nian Shilan was knowledgeable after all, and was not afraid of him at all. She immediately picked up a vase and smashed it over.

Unexpectedly, the man moved very quickly, dodging the vase like a ghost, and then he chuckled:

"Too bad we were discovered. What a shame for the musk in this furnace."

After he finished speaking, thick smoke rose from under his feet, and when the smoke dissipated, there was no one left.

Nian Shilan stayed where she was. This strange figure mentioned musk twice in a row. Was it her brother's ghost who gave her a hint? She dug her nails deep into her flesh to stay awake, then trembled as she walked to the incense burner and sniffed the fragrance in the burner. It was Huanyi incense without a doubt.

But where did the musk come from? Nian Guiren could no longer stop the fear in her heart. She had countless guesses, but she didn't dare to face the one she feared the most. She had to find Jiang Shen to take a look.

She stared at the incense burner in a trance. The coldness of the deep winter night penetrated her bones, and soon she was shivering with cold. But she endured it until her hands and feet were completely cold. Then she staggered back to the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt to keep shivering.

The two people who were keeping watch did not notice anything wrong.

On the second day, Concubine Nian fell ill, and she specifically asked Jiang Shen to come and treat her.

Xiao Xiazi had no choice but to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for help.

Zhen Huan and Jing Xi in Yongshou Palace were smiling happily. Once the suspicion was planted, everyone had to find a way to uncover it.

Zhen Huan looks forward to what Nian Shilan will do after she learns the truth.

Then Zhen Huan got up and went to the Yangxin Palace.
