That night, after Nian Shilan left.

An Lingrong locked herself in her bedroom for a long time and did not allow anyone to come in to serve her, not even Baojuan.

Baojuan was waiting outside anxiously, knocking on the door from time to time to ask if she needed help or to rest, and also asking if she needed someone to bring her some tea or water.

An Lingrong refused all of them and just told her not to come in and serve tonight.

Her lips turned pale and her teeth chattered. She only lowered her vigilant eyes after she heard no more movement outside.

Just now, she learned some shocking news.

It turned out that Baojuan, whom she had always thought was loyal, was actually sent by the Queen.

But just as Nian Shilan said -

"Your family is poor and you can't even bring in a dowry, but it's easy for you to place someone or something in your place."

Yes, she was struggling to survive and trying her best just to protect herself.

Since Zhen Huan could not protect her, she depended on the Queen. The Queen treated her like an abandoned child, but then Concubine Hua appeared again.

If Concubine Hua doesn't obey her, her family will be doomed.

She had no choice.

I can only continue to live a miserable life by using the only thing I have, the little value that can be used by others.

In a trance, tears streamed down her face, and Nian Shilan's voice just now echoed in her ears.

"You should be thankful that you are not as useless as Concubine Qi. Although you don't have a good family background like her, fortunately, you don't have a stupid brain like her."

"Did you remember what I just said to you? When I need you, I will send someone to notify you."

……

The harem has been a bit unsettled lately, with things happening one after another and the situation is turbulent.

No one knows what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind these waves.

Doctor Wen sent someone to bring news that Zhen Huan is due today or tomorrow, and that this baby might not go into labor, so she can only have labor induced by drugs.

It was so sudden that Nian Shilan was a little worried. After all, there were some things that had not been completed...

Nian Shilan specifically ordered the small kitchen to make some snacks, and then gave Songzhi some silver and asked her to take it to the Yangxin Palace.

In the afternoon, Songzhi came back.

Nian Shilan put down the little toy in her hand and looked up at her.

"Has everything been done?"

Songzhi bowed, "The queen ordered, and I have done it. Xiao Xiazi happened to be on duty, so I asked him to take her in. When he came out, he told me that the emperor said he would come to see the queen later."

Nian Shilan nodded gently, "Xiao Xiazi is quite smart and can talk."

Songzhi also laughed, "Yes, in the past, when I saw him following behind Eunuch Su, I just expected him to tell me some gossip, but I didn't expect that he would be appreciated by the queen. He is really proud of it."

Not long after, Xiao Xiazi arrived.

"Your servant pays respect to the Imperial Concubine. Your Majesty, the Emperor turned over your name card today. Please prepare to receive him."

He completed the task and received money from Songzhi.

From the moment he entered the Yiku Palace to the moment he left, that white-faced man was happy.

After it was decided that Yinzhen would come tonight, Nian Shilan immediately asked Fudong to go to Suiyuxuan to pass on the message.

Yinzhen came earlier this time, before dinner.

Nian Shilan felt that maybe it was because she had been pretending to be sick some time ago and had less contact with Yinzhen.

I've seen it a lot these days, and I always feel depressed.

Unlike before when she was used to pretending, now that she has been with Yinzhen for a long time, she will get bored and distracted after a while, and she always has to remind herself in her heart to try hard to pretend.

"Your Majesty, please try this shredded chicken. It is made by removing the bones from the chicken and cutting it into thin strips. I tried it yesterday and found it very refreshing. How about your Majesty trying it?"

Nian Shilan smiled and picked up some food for Yinzhen.

Yinzhen nodded, savored the food carefully, and a comforting smile appeared on his face.

"You said good things, of course they can't be wrong. Now I can only feel so comfortable and happy with you."

Sure enough, Yinzhen still had some grudges about the Queen.

A few days ago, Nian Shilan asked Zhou Ninghai to contact the ministers of the previous dynasty and asked them to release the queen from house arrest. This made Yinzhen realize how deep the queen's hands had reached.

Just in time, Nian Shilan continued the conversation.

"Your Majesty has been working hard these days. In fact, I think the Queen probably knows she is wrong. After all, she is the mother of the country. I am afraid that the frequent confinement of the Queen by the Emperor must be hurtful to her."

Yinzhen put down his chopsticks, reached out and patted her.

"I am surprised that you are advising me like this. Can you really let go of the Queen's treatment of you?"

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes, a hint of gloom flashing across them.

When I looked up, that emotion disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile.

"To be honest, I am unwilling to forgive the Queen. If Your Majesty wants to hear my truth, I have hated the Queen since I found out about Yingluo!"

She said coquettishly, her watery eyes were so full that Yinzhen couldn't take his eyes away.

After he finished speaking, Yinzhen did not blame him but chuckled instead.

He likes Nian Shilan because of this.

She tells everything, never hides anything, and is especially open about herself.

"Your Majesty is still laughing at me," Nian Shilan snorted, her face flushed, then she paused and her voice calmed down.

"But when I think about how the emperor is going through so much trouble for me, I no longer feel wronged. As long as the emperor's heart is with me, what else do I have to worry about?"

A soft spot in Yinzhen's heart suddenly jumped.

He looked at her quietly as she continued.

"Also, the Queen was confused for a moment, but after all, the Queen is still a member of the Queen Mother's family, and the biological sister of Queen Chunyuan. I still remember that Concubine Duan told me that before Queen Chunyuan passed away, she lay on the Emperor's lap, hoping that the Emperor would treat the Queen well. I don't want the Emperor to let Queen Chunyuan down..."

While waiting for her to say this, Yinzhen's black pupils were blank and he held Nian Shilan's hand tightly.

Nian Shilan knew that her words touched Yinzhen's heart.

But it is easy. Anything about Queen Chunyuan can easily get into Yinzhen's mind.

"Only Shilan is the only one in my heart."

Nian Shilan didn't know how much truth and how much falsehood there was in his words.

I'm too lazy to guess.

After the two of them had dinner, they saw Yinzhen becoming more and more lustful and rubbing his big hands on Nian Shilan's body.

Nian Shilan suppressed her disgust and cooperated.

Fortunately, at this moment, Su Peisheng's panicked voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Yinzhen stopped what he was doing and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"What's the matter!"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is about to give birth. Would Your Majesty like to go over?"

Seeing him pause, Nian Shilan quickly spoke.

"Your Majesty, please go and see me. I also want to go and see you. Since Concubine Jia passed away, I have been worried all day long. It would be more reassuring if I could go and see her."
