"You are indeed useless. It is also because Concubine Hua and Concubine Wan are too useful. They actually injured you and me with one blow. Until now, the emperor has not fully trusted me with the power of the six palaces."

The queen shook her head, her eyes full of calculation, and rubbed her brows.

An Lingrong didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head in silence.

Naturally, the Queen did not expect her to say anything. In her eyes, An Lingrong was just a chess piece, a mindless tool.

Pointing and bowing is her only use.

"Now that a new bride is about to enter the palace, you may never be able to make a name for yourself. Are you really willing to live like this? If I hadn't tried my best to protect you in front of the emperor, you would have been sent to the cold palace now."

Is it the queen?

An Lingrong laughed in her heart.

If these words had been said not long ago, An Lingrong would have knelt down and kowtowed to thank the Queen for her kindness, and even expressed her loyalty and determination to work hard for the Queen.

But Nian Shilan made her see the queen clearly, and see clearly this black Bodhisattva who was good at taking credit from others, stirring up people's hearts with a few words, and boosting her own power!

However, she remembered what Nian Shilan said to her that night...

"I thank the Queen for her protection, but I don't know what the Queen wants me to do. Now, my throat disease has recurred, and the Emperor hates me to the extreme. How can I turn things around?"

The queen was very pleased to hear this, and she looked at her and laughed.

In the end, he only said this: "An, please agree. Thank you for your nice voice."

After saying this, the Queen raised her hand. Jianqiu immediately understood what she meant and walked forward, handing An Lingrong an exquisite porcelain bottle.

"Empress, what is this?" An Lingrong was puzzled.

"This is medicine for treating throat diseases. Our Queen is so distressed that she ordered the imperial physician to prepare it specially. You should take one pill every day when you go back. After three days, your throat will be fully restored."

An Lingrong was shocked and quickly knelt down to thank him: "I am so grateful. Your Majesty, I will never forget your kindness."

"You won the emperor's favor twice with your previous song, Golden Threaded Clothes. The fact that you won the emperor's favor the first time and the second time proves that the emperor is not a person who forgets old feelings. You have a good voice and your music is not bad. An promised that you know what to do."

After the queen finished speaking, she smiled slightly, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in her smile.

"I will follow the Queen's instructions and practice diligently to live up to her high expectations."

"Go back."

Yikun Palace.

Songzhi hurriedly walked into the palace from outside. Nian Shilan was resting and watching the Fourth Prince's homework.

Although she did not understand much, she could at least tell whether the characters were well written and whether they were complete.

After all, Nian Shilan felt that as a mother, she still had to put in some superficial effort.

"What's the matter?" Without looking up, just by feeling the hurried breeze of Songzhi's approaching, Nian Shilan knew that she must have something important to report.

Songzhi nodded and said, "Go away." She dismissed everyone and then took out an exquisite porcelain jar from the pouch on her sleeve.

"Your Majesty, An promised that this was a gift from the Queen, and it was given to An to cure his throat disease."

Only then did Nian Shilan raise her head, close the book, and take the porcelain jar.

She murmured, "So the reason why I left her alone to answer the question today was because of this. The Queen still refuses to give up on her throat disease."

After saying that, she glanced at Songzhi.

Songzhi understood immediately, "As soon as I got it, I asked Fudong to take one to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the Imperial Physician's thanks."

When Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi again, there was more admiration in her eyes.

"how?"

"Imperial Doctor Xie said that this medicine is indeed effective in treating throat diseases, but it is too strong. If you are not careful, you may lose your voice. Moreover, if you take this medicine, you will no longer have any hope of having children."

Songzhi's voice became lower and lower, but the smile in Nian Shilan's eyes became deeper and deeper.

"The Queen's methods are always so ruthless and yet deadly."

She knew that what the emperor valued most was that An Lingrong's voice was somewhat similar to Chun Yuan's.

If her voice doesn't recover completely like Chun Yuan's, there is no difference between An Lingrong losing her voice and being able to speak.

As for offspring, that would be exactly what the Queen wanted.

"Oh, it turns out that no matter what, as long as An Lingrong is still with the Queen, she is destined to be unable to have children."

Songzhi didn't understand what Nian Shilan suddenly sighed.

"What does your Majesty mean by this...?"

"Nothing, just tell An Da Ying everything Doctor Xie said." Nian Shilan waved her hand.

Songzhi was puzzled, "But the queen didn't intend to use An Da Ying. If she told everything, what should she do if An Da Ying doesn't want to use her anymore?"

"This is the medicine given to her by the Queen. She has to use it even if she doesn't want to. Knowing it or not won't change anything. It will only turn her anxiety and ignorance into despair."

"But if An agrees that he really dies, our plan..."

"I will not let her die so easily. She has been with the Queen for so long, she will be useful sooner or later. Besides, taking this medicine does not mean that she will definitely regain the Emperor's favor. As a newcomer to the palace, she has not yet had a chance to show herself. An Lingrong's stage is still to come."

"Yes."

After saying this, Nian Shilan continued to look at the Fourth Prince's homework, but she couldn't continue reading it no matter how hard she looked.

I always feel that these words seem to pop out one by one, which is really boring.

Seeing that Nian Shilan was bored, Songzhi rolled her eyes and tried to find a topic for Nian Shilan.

"In three days, the newlyweds will enter the palace. I wonder what kind of reward Her Majesty plans to give them?"

When a new lady enters the palace, the empress, the imperial concubine, and the main ladies have to prepare some greeting gifts.

Just like when Zhen Huan's group of beautiful girls entered the palace, Nian Shilan spent a lot of money to reward them.

The main thing to highlight is one word - heroic.

It cannot be less than that of the Queen, and it cannot be more shabby than that of the Queen.

Nian Shilan shook her head. "It's nothing more than some fine fabrics or some novelty gadgets. By the way, what did the Queen give as a reward this year?"

"These are exactly what the Queen gave as a reward."

"Then I will naturally think of something new and different, otherwise it will be very boring."

Nian Shilan suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up. "The little things made by Fudong's father are pretty good. If they are inlaid with gold and jade, they will be extremely gorgeous. I will give three pieces of floating brocade to each of the three new young ladies."

"Your Majesty is very creative. I'm sure the new ladies will understand your intentions."

Songzhi smiled and said, the master and servant had just said a few words when they suddenly heard a sound coming from outside.

It’s Xiao Xiazi from the Imperial Court who has arrived.

Xiao Xiazi happily greeted Nian Shilan, "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and good health."

"Xiao Xiazi, what's the matter?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, the Emperor just said that he will come to Your Majesty's palace tonight. My master asked me to tell him, so Your Majesty, please make preparations early." Xiao Xiazi said.
