"Your Majesty, I am guilty of all the mistakes. I shouldn't have insisted on having Wanpin kneel down, and I shouldn't have looked down on the Dragon Clan. I have committed such a great sin. I dare not ask Your Majesty to forgive me, and I dare not ask Wanpin to atone for my sin. I still ask Your Majesty to punish me."

Every word Nian Shilan spoke was sorrowful and her eyes were filled with tears.

She knew that Yinzhen would never listen to her explanation at this time.

Everyone was angry at this moment and thought that she was the one who caused Zhen Huan's miscarriage!

The only way to solve this problem is to let Yinzhen calm down for a while and regain his sanity.

Such behavior surprised the queen. Her face froze and she was a little confused as to what she could not understand.

Is this really the Nian Shilan she knows?

Where is Nian Shilan, the arrogant and domineering person who never admitted his mistakes?

However, the scene before her did not allow the queen to think too much. She only roughly felt that Nian Shilan must be extremely scared. After all, Wanpin was the apple of the emperor's eye, so it was normal for her to be afraid.

"Noble Concubine Hua, you are really confused. It was fine that you disliked Wanpin in the past, and you abused your power in the palace, but now you dare to take advantage of the absence of me and the emperor to attack the royal heir. You are really unworthy of the trust that the emperor and I have placed in you, and unworthy of the power to assist in managing the six palaces."

The queen stepped forward and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand as she spoke.

Every word she said brought out the resentment that the concubines had towards her.

He also pointed out the key point - the power to assist in managing the six palaces!

"Yes, Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Hua knew that Concubine Wan was pregnant but she still punished her. The granite was extremely hard under the scorching sun. Concubine Wan begged for mercy several times, but Imperial Concubine Hua refused to forgive her!"

At this moment, Shen Meizhuang only regretted that she could not let Concubine Hua go with Zhen Huan's child immediately, and said immediately.

"I didn't expect that you hated Concubine Wan so much and were so cruel to get rid of her child. I always thought that you were just spoiled, but I didn't expect you to be as cruel as a snake!" The emperor stared at Nian Shilan with his sinister eyes.

Nian Shilan slowly raised her head, her face full of tears, "Your Majesty! I know I was wrong, and I accept the punishment. But there is one thing, I have never thought of harming Wanpin's child."

"Four years ago, I also lost my own child, a fully grown male fetus. If we talk about the pain of losing a child, I have experienced nothing less than Wanpin. How could I be so cruel as to harm Wanpin's child?"

Talking about the bowl of poisoned pregnancy-preserving medicine four years ago, and the aborted male fetus.

The emperor regained some of his sanity, and the anger on his face faded a little, replaced by a bit of sadness.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan immediately continued, "During the past few days, Imperial Doctor Zhang reported that Concubine Wan was in good health and her pregnancy was stable. That's why I lost my mind today and made Concubine Wan kneel. But how could she have a miscarriage after kneeling for half an hour if her pregnancy was stable? Is there some other conspiracy behind this?"

"Empress Hua, don't try to shirk responsibility. It was clearly you who caused the damage under the harsh sun. Are you going to say it's the Imperial Hospital's fault? You really don't know how to repent."

The Queen said sternly.

"I'm not shirking responsibility. A few days ago, when Concubine Wan came to my palace, she looked unwell and tired. But Doctor Zhang still reported that the fetus was stable and there was no problem. Isn't this also the problem?" Nian Shilan replied calmly without being annoyed or impatient.

Huanbi shed two lines of tears and said, "My queen looks pale and tired because she has been sitting in the imperial concubine's palace for too long. The imperial concubine can talk for several hours at a time. How can my queen bear it?"

Nian Shilan whispered, "But when Wanpin was in the Queen's palace before, she never had such symptoms. Why did she have them when she came to my palace?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's face instantly darkened.

Huanbi was choked by her words and didn't know what to say. She wanted to refute, but just opened her mouth and no sound came out.

"Your Majesty, as soon as I thought of something fishy here, I immediately arrested Imperial Doctor Zhang, Wanpin's chief eunuch Xiao Yunzi, and the palace maid Pei'er for interrogation. Then I found this on Wanpin's desk."

She took out an exquisite box from her sleeve, opened it and presented it to the emperor.

When she saw the box, An Lingrong's face turned pale instantly, and even the Queen held her breath.

"What is this?" The emperor took it out and opened it.

Zhen Huan lay on the bed and sobbed, "This is... the scar-removing glue that Sister An gave me."

As she spoke, she felt pain in her lower body, gasping for air, and sweat broke out on her forehead. Cui Jinxi hurriedly helped her wipe the sweat off.

"I found this item after carefully questioning Wanpin about her food, clothing and daily expenses. I think it is a bit strange. Your Majesty wants to punish me, and I will accept it. But I really don't want to be so unclear. I beg Your Majesty to send the imperial physician Wen to carefully examine this item."

The emperor stared at the exquisite little box with serious eyes, then glanced at Nian Shilan.

He said to Su Peisheng, "Call Dr. Wen."

Imperial Doctor Wen was originally busy with the recent epidemic in the palace, but he was just called by Songzhi and was summoned in as soon as he arrived at Suiyuxuan.

He took the box of scar-removing gel and sniffed it carefully. Suddenly, he knelt down in panic, horrified, and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is mixed with musk."

At this moment, everyone's breathing held, and everyone looked at An Lingrong.

Just now, everyone thought that this was just Concubine Hua's last struggle, and no one expected that musk would be found.

And this musk belonged to An Lingrong.

The queen also clenched her silk handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really don't know why there is musk in this. I have never used musk when making it. Please understand your majesty!"

Nian Shilan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and took out a box of half-used scar-removing adhesive from her sleeve.

"Really? Then please ask Doctor Wen to take another look at this box."

Doctor Wen then took it, smelled it carefully, and said, "There is also a small amount of musk in this box, but most of it has been used up and the smell is very light. However, I am sure that musk has been added to this."

"what!"

Zhen Huan was heartbroken. She leaned in Cui Jinxi's arms and looked at An Lingrong sadly, "How is this possible? How could this happen? Sister An..."

She never expected that this person whom she regarded as a close friend and treated her well would actually do such a cruel thing to her.

Whenever she had any good things, she would share some with An Lingrong.

He even shared his favor with her and treated her like a real sister. Fearing that she would be isolated and helpless in the capital, he took her back home to learn etiquette together.

Just a while ago, when Concubine Qi poisoned her with oleander, it was Lingrong who carefully pointed it out, so she was saved from danger.

She actually put poison in her scar-removing glue!

"Your Majesty, I definitely did not use musk, Your Majesty. Sister, you must trust Lingrong. How could Lingrong be willing to harm your child? This thing has been passed around for many times. Maybe it has been mixed with something else in the hands of Concubine Hua. There is no way of knowing."

Every word and sentence directed the blame towards Nian Shilan again.

Nian Shilan finally saw An Lingrong's scheming, she always hit the nail on the head with her words.

An Lingrong's tears immediately fell, and her gentle voice made her look so delicate that it made people feel pity for her.

However, when it comes to love, Nian Shilan is not inferior to anyone.

After all, all the Manchu and Mongolian banners combined are not as beautiful as Concubine Hua.

There is evidence to support this statement.
