"Of course." Nian Shilan answered casually.

Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of An Lingrong in the corner.

She also came out, presumably she and Zhen Huan had reconciled.

There was nothing important happening in the palace, so the greetings were nothing special.

The queen dismissed everyone early.

Not long after Nian Shilan walked out of Jingren Palace, she saw Concubine Xin and Concubine Qi walking together.

The two of them looked towards her timidly.

Nian Shilan chuckled. She had just spoken a few words to Concubine Qi, and she was frightened like this.

I guess the Third Prince's dull and stupid personality didn't come out of nowhere.

When she slowly walked out, Cao Qinmo followed her out nimbly.

"Congratulations, Her Majesty, for regaining the Emperor's grace." Cao Qinmo forced a smile and congratulated him insincerely.

"What's there to congratulate?" Nian Shilan smiled.

Cao Qin was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, what's bothering you? I am willing to help you solve your problems."

Nian Shilan glanced at her and said, "I don't have any worries, but I do have something I need you to do."

"It's up to you, Madam."

"No hurry, it's still early." Nian Shilan got on the carriage and said, "How has Wen Yi been these days?"

"With the blessing of Your Majesty, Wen Yi is doing well. When the weather gets warmer in a few days, I will bring Wen Yi to see Your Majesty." When Cao Qinmo, a mother, mentioned her daughter, a more genuine smile appeared on her face.

Yes, this child is Cao Qinmo’s favorite.

This is her only hope of survival.

"No need, just take good care of it."

"Yes, I respectfully send off Her Majesty Hua."

Nian Shilan sat in the carriage, and all the concubines who passed by bowed to her.

Just as they passed An Lingrong, Nian Shilan whispered, "Stop."

"Get out of the sedan." Songzhi followed immediately and carefully helped Nian Shilan down.

Upon seeing this, An Lingrong's face immediately turned pale, and her frail body trembled, revealing her timidity.

"I wonder what your Majesty wants me to do?"

"It's been a long time since I saw An Da Ying," Nian Shilan said softly, "Since the last incident with the scar-removing glue, I heard that An Da Ying kneeled at the entrance of Wanpin Palace for half a day every day to apologize?"

"I have done something wrong, so of course I must apologize." An Lingrong said in a low voice.

Nian Shilan looked up at her as if she had heard something funny. "Look at what An agreed to say. It's as if he had done something wrong and only let down Wanpin."

"this?"

"I was punished by the Emperor because of you. If you hadn't added musk to the scar-removing gel, Wanpin wouldn't have become so weak, making me your scapegoat. If I hadn't found your flaw, I might not be able to stand in front of you and talk to you right now."

Her words became softer and softer.

But the meaning and hints in the words became longer and longer.

An Lingrong was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."

"You know you are wrong." Nian Shilan continued, "But you knelt before me and Wanpin, but not before the dead child. This shows that An's promise was not sincere."

At this point, the concubines who were watching the show nearby were all shocked.

An Lingrong opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Nian Shilan.

"If you sincerely admit your mistakes, why have I never seen you in Baohua Palace chanting sutras and praying for the child every day? I see that you like to kneel, so kneel here for half an hour."

Nian Shilan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the crowd, turned around and was about to leave in the carriage.

But at this moment, a clear and beautiful female voice suddenly came out.

"Greetings, Madam Hua. Sister An suffers from a cough and has injured herself kneeling a few days ago. It is snowing heavily today. If she kneels again, I am afraid..."

Nian Shilan frowned slightly and looked up. It was Shen Meizhuang.

"Oh? Lady Hui, do you think my punishment is inappropriate?"

"I have no such intention. I just hope that Your Majesty will spare Sister An for the sake of our sisterhood. When Sister An feels better, I will come to your house in person to apologize." Shen Meizhuang was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not look at Nian Shilan.

Naturally, he couldn't see the sad smile in Nian Shilan's eyes.

Shen Meizhuang, oh Shen Meizhuang, do you know that your death was caused by your dear sister An?

In the end, I just can't bear to do it.

"Well, your opinion doesn't count. What do you think, Concubine Wan?" Nian Shilan was too lazy to force herself to be the bad guy and looked directly at Zhen Huan standing beside her.

Zhen Huan was obviously a little hesitant and embarrassed, and she bowed first.

Then she lowered her head and said slowly, "I understand your Majesty's intention, but Sister An's cough has become more severe in the past few days. It's cold today, and I'm afraid it will really be fatal in half an hour. Today, I heard from the Queen that you are not feeling well. Please go back to the palace and rest as soon as possible for your health."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan snorted and laughed, "Forget it, let's go back to Yikun Palace."

……

"Thank you, sisters. If it weren't for you, Lingrong would have frozen to death here today." An Lingrong was helped up by Baojuan.

As she said this, she was crying so hard that she didn't even have time to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

Shen Meizhuang sighed, "Hua Fei has regained her favor. Seeing how she is today, I'm afraid she won't let you go easily in the future. You should stay in the palace to recuperate in the days ahead. Maybe when she gradually forgets about you, it won't be too late to come out again."

An Lingrong wept, "It can only be done this way. In fact, Lingrong's life is worthless. If I can die for Sister Wan's child, it is not a bad idea."

He said this in order to get Zhen Huan to stop it.

Zhen Huan frowned, "Okay, stop saying these things. You and I both know the reason for that incident. Don't take Hua Fei's matter to heart. You should take care of your health first."

An Lingrong cried and complained about her sorrow all the way until she reached the Yanx Palace.

Only Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang were left on the road.

"Sister Mei, do you think Concubine Hua is venting her anger for my child?" Zhen Huan frowned. She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't understand.

"Maybe, she really feels sorry for your lost child." Shen Meizhuang sighed.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyebrows, "I heard that Concubine Hua lost a child when she was still in the palace. I heard her talk about it in Sui Yuxuan that day. Every word she said was sincere and didn't sound false. Maybe it was because of my child that she also thought of her own child."

"Today I know what you are thinking, but we entered the palace together. Not to mention that Lingrong was implicated in the scar-removing glue incident, I couldn't bear to see her kneeling in the snow. You won't blame me for this, right?"

Shen Meizhuang stopped, turned and looked at her.

Zhen Huan shook her head, "Of course not, Sister Mei, I'm just worried."

"Sister Mei, I want to go see Concubine Duan."

Shen Meizhuang pursed her lips and said, "I'm afraid I can't accompany you today. I have to go to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"Well, it's okay. The roads are slippery in the snow, so you have to be careful, sister."

After bidding farewell to Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan turned and went to Yanqing Palace.

Yanqing Palace is remote and she has only been there once.

At that time, it was Jixiang who came to open the door, and Concubine Duan was not as healthy as she is now.

What she didn't expect was that the person she saw when she entered the room was not Concubine Duan.

But, Concubine Hua.
