When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

When Nian Shilan heard this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

She knew very well how intelligent Zhen Huan was, and these words were not just a plea for Yu Shu, but also to save Wen Shichu.

By saying this, she was also telling Nian Shilan that if she was willing, Wen Shichu could be used by her in the future, and she only asked for her to save his life.

And this is exactly what Nian Shilan wants.

Only then did she slowly speak, with some praise and deep meaning in her voice: "Concubine Wan is thoughtful and considerate."

"I am not an unreasonable person, but the rules in the harem are strict and cannot be challenged."

She swept her eyes across the crowd, finally landing on Yu Shu who was kneeling on the ground, and her tone softened slightly.

"Yu Changzai has made a serious mistake, but considering that you are young and ignorant, it is just a thought and has not been carried out. I can let you off the hook."

Yu Shu felt like she had escaped death. She closed her eyes and a tear flowed down her face fearfully.

She heard Nian Shilan continue.

"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. From now on, you will stay in Xianfu Palace for three months to reflect on your mistakes. You should copy Buddhist scriptures a hundred times and calm your mind. This matter will be supervised by Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing."

"I am here, and I will take good care of her and will not let Yu Changzai make the wrong decision."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu was shocked but also relieved. She kowtowed and thanked the emperor: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will change my ways and never do it again."

Nian Shilan nodded slightly and turned to look at the people sitting below her.

"I have called you all together today to serve as witnesses. Do you think my method today is appropriate?"

Everyone said in unison, "Your Highness is decisive and strict in her work, and the concubines are naturally impressed."

Nian Shilan nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while and then spoke.

"As for Doctor Wen, although he is not directly involved in this matter, it is inevitable that people will gossip and suspect him. Recently, I will order him to go to Xianfu Palace less often and only work in front of the emperor. Concubine Wan, what do you think?"

Zhen Huan understood and replied respectfully, "I understand. Your Majesty has her reasons for giving such orders."

Concubine Duan was observing quietly at the side. Although she didn't know what Nian Shilan was doing today, her handling of today's matter not only maintained the rules of the harem, but also took into account human feelings and the overall situation.

She said softly, "The Imperial Concubine handled the matter in this way, which not only demonstrated the majesty of the royal family, but also showed mercy. It is truly a blessing for the harem."

Nian Shilan smiled slightly, her eyes deep: "Sister Duan Fei, you are too kind. I am just doing my best to contribute to the peace of the harem. I hope that my sisters will take today's incident as a warning and never make the same mistake again."

Everyone said yes, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Nian Shilan waved her hand, signaling everyone to disperse: "Okay, it's getting late, everyone go back to the palace."

"I'll take my leave!"

As everyone left Yikun Palace one after another, Nian Shilan sat alone in the main seat, gazing deep into the distance.

A smile appeared at the corner of his lips

She didn't expect that someone would hand her a pillow just as she dozed off.

There is only Wei Lin in the imperial presence now, which makes him feel uneasy. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future.

In case of failure, she needs someone who can fully control Yinzhen's body.

Now there is a legitimate reason to send Wen Shichu up, and he also has the support of Zhen Huan.

After all, Zhen Huan is in great favor now, and with his own opinions and Zhen Huan's whispering, Wen Shichu can easily gain the emperor's trust.

……

Jingren Palace.

"Queen!"

Jianqiu walked in with an excited look on her face. The Queen had been imprisoned these days, and there was a decadent and gloomy atmosphere throughout Jingren Palace. This was the first time in these days that Jianqiu's face showed joy.

Seeing her like this, Yi Xiu's hands trembled with excitement, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"It's done. We finally found something that could prove the Fourth Prince's wrong!"

Yixiu's eyes lit up and she motioned for Jianqiu to continue.

"I used some tricks and asked the nanny who used to serve the Fourth Prince to search his room. The nanny said that the Fourth Prince would treasure the things that the Imperial Concubine had given him before and kept them in his room separately. This time, the Emperor ordered the Fourth Prince to leave the palace to prepare for the spring hunt, so the nanny had the opportunity to go in and check, and indeed found something."

Yixiu raised her eyes, "Oh?"

"Please take a look, Madam."

Jianqiu took out a book from behind her, which was the "Zizhi Tongjian" that the Fourth Prince treasured.

Yixiu took it and started flipping through it.

At first, I only saw the handwriting and some notes, nothing much, but I knew Yixiu turned to the back...

Her eyes changed and she smiled triumphantly.

Nian Shilan, what if you win this round?

You still can’t escape from my palm.

Jianqiu saw Yixiu's expression and understood, "Madam, do you want to start doing what you told me to do before?"

Yixiu nodded and smiled even more wantonly, "Of course we have to do it. There must not be any omissions or handles in this matter. We must do it well."

"I understand. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

After saying that, Jianqiu prepared to get up and walk out.

Yixiu seemed to be thinking about something, and stopped Jianqiu who was walking to the door, "Wait."

Jian Qiu asked, "Does the Queen have any other instructions?"

"I remember that there was a child named Qingying in the clan?"

Jianqiu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person, Ulanala Qingying, she is your cousin."

Yixiu pursed her lips and sneered.

In fact, a long time ago, in order to bring the Third Prince closer to herself, Yixiu tied the Third Prince firmly to her side.

He had the idea of ​​marrying the third prince to a girl from the clan, and after much selection, he chose Miss Qingying.

It’s a pity that this girl was not ambitious enough and did not win the Third Prince’s favor. Instead, she made him dislike her.

Afterwards, she became sullen and often spoke rudely in the mansion, talking about the fact that she had been a concubine in the past.

As a result, Yixiu came up with another idea.

"Jianqiu, you say," Yixiu thought of something funny and leaned back unconsciously, as if he was a winner.

"Is it okay if I betroth Qingying to the Fourth Prince?"

Jianqiu didn't quite understand the meaning of this move, "But my queen, Qingying is your cousin, a noble princess of the Ulanara clan. If this happens, the Fourth Prince will not be worthy of our princess."

She really didn't understand. After all, in her opinion, the Fourth Prince was not a good match for Qingying.

But Yixiu sneered, "Do you think that the emperor will abandon the Fourth Prince after this incident? After all, he is his own blood. Even if he is just a lowly child born by a palace maid, he is still royal blood. Even if Nian Shilan is abandoned, the emperor will keep this child."

"When the time comes, I will harm her mother and stuff Qingying into his mansion, which means I will have put an eye on the Fourth Prince. By then, no matter how much he turns over, he will not be as good as our Third Prince."

After hearing this, Jianqiu finally understood.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful and far-sighted. I admire you. I will do it right away."

……

Broken Yuxuan.

After the incident with Yu Changzai, Shen Meizhuang was feeling very nervous all the way.

She was afraid of what would happen to Wen Shichu if today had not ended like this.

He became more alert to his own thoughts and was aware of what kind of disaster his thoughts would bring to Wen Shichu.

When they arrived at the Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan sent everyone away and looked at Shen Meizhuang with lowered eyes.

"Sister Mei, Sister Mei?"

Only after being called twice did Shen Meizhuang come back to her senses.

"Ah? Huan'er..."

"What are you thinking about, sister?" Zhen Huan didn't know Shen Meizhuang's feelings for Wen Shichu, but it had happened so many times, and she looked like this today. Even if they had another meal together, she should have guessed something. What's more, Zhen Huan was quite thoughtful.

Shen Meizhuang swallowed her saliva and said, "I, Huan'er, if one day I make a big mistake, what will you do?"

"Then Huan'er will definitely fight to the death to protect Sister Mei."

Zhen Huan meant this sincerely.

Shen Meizhuang breathed a sigh of relief, but another breath rose in her heart.

She looked panicked, and she looked completely different.

Zhen Huan bit her lip and asked the question that had been weighing on her mind for a long time.

"It's Doctor Wen, isn't it?"

Shen Meizhuang suddenly raised her head and looked at her without saying anything for a long time. Thousands of words came to her lips but turned into just one word.

"Yes."

Zhen Huan's eyes became a little confused, and she held her breath. The two of them sat in silence for a long time.

Until Zhen Huan spoke again.

"Do you know why the imperial concubine did this today?"

In Shen Meizhuang's opinion, thinking about it might be much simpler.

"Your Highness has saved Yu Changzai this time and has not implicated Wen Shichu. This is indeed great."

"Sister Mei, do you really think that the imperial concubine wanted to protect Yu Changzai? Do you know who killed Nan Changzai?"

Zhen Huan's voice became a little louder, and the two of them looked at each other.

Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment, then gradually understood.

"What do you mean?"

"Was it the Imperial Concubine who caused Nan Changzai's death?"

After Shen Meizhuang reviewed the game of "Beauty Prescription" herself, she understood the whole process. However, she did not expect that Nian Shilan would kill her so ruthlessly.

Secondly, Nian Shilan handled Nan Xu’s death so cleanly that even she did not suspect Nian Shilan.

I always thought he died in an accident.

"Nan Changzai, Yu Changzai, no matter how many Changzai there are, in the heart of Concubine Hua, they are just chess pieces. If they are useful, they are good-looking chess pieces. If they are useless, they are discarded! What she wants is to use us to hold Doctor Wen hostage."

Zhen Huan revealed the truth.

Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment, "You mean... Concubine Hua's real intention this time is not to drink?"

Zhen Huan nodded.

But Shen Meizhuang soon realized something was wrong, "But how did Concubine Hua know about this, and how did she use it to plot?"

"This is her strength. No matter what happens, she can immediately guide the situation in a direction that is beneficial to her."

Shen Meizhuang thought about it carefully, lowered her eyes, and quickly said, "Could it be Concubine Jing? But what does she want to do with Doctor Wen?"

Zhen Huan whispered, her thoughts in a mess, "I don't know..."

In fact, she knew, but now was obviously not a good time to tell Shen Meizhuang.

At this time, there was a noise outside. Zhen Huan patted Shen Meizhuang's hand, signaling her to be more alert.

Shen Meizhuang nodded at her, and Su Peisheng came in from outside.

"Greetings to Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui."

Zhen Huan nodded, "Why is Eunuch Su here?"

Su Peisheng smiled and said, "I have come to tell you that the Emperor will come to your place for dinner tonight. Please prepare it."

"Yes, thank you for coming." Zhen Huan thought for a moment and asked again, "Where is the emperor now?"

"The Emperor is currently accompanied by Concubine Chen, who is serving him with writing materials."

Zhen Huan nodded, "Thank you, Eunuch Su, for taking the trip."

"The slave retire."

Su Peisheng left and Jinxi saw him out.

Shen Meizhuang pursed her lips, "You are the most favored one in the palace now. Although the emperor also favors Concubine Chen, I always see that Concubine Chen is indifferent, as if nothing can make her care."

"But when I look at her, I think she looks a lot like my sister. What do you think?"

Shen Meizhuang was surprised, "Me?"

"Yes, there is no emperor in my sister's eyes, and it seems that there is no emperor in her eyes either. But she is a bit like the imperial concubine, and their personalities are similar."

Hearing this, Shen Meizhuang chuckled, "In this harem, everyone seems different, but they are all the same."

Her voice was filled with disappointment and sarcasm. "It's all the same sadness..."

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Yinzhen has been feeling increasingly overwhelmed lately, whether it's in sex or handling daily state affairs.

After reading memorials for too long, my eyes hurt. I need to look at something as beautiful as a girl like Concubine Chen to relax my eyes.

In fact, what Zhen Huan said was true. In Yinzhen's eyes, Concubine Chen really looked like Shen Meizhuang.

To be precise, Concubine Chen is like Concubine Shen back then.

She is well-mannered, a lady from a noble family, and as gentle as water.

But like water, there are not too many waves.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Tong Jiarubi came over with a cup of tea. After putting it down, she naturally stepped aside.

She didn't say anything more, and only came forward to massage his shoulders and occasionally say a few words when Yinzhen gave her another instruction.

But most of the time, I just stepped aside and didn't disturb him.

After dealing with the memorials, Yinzhen leaned back in his chair, enjoying the massage of Tong Jia Rubi, feeling relaxed.

He took Tong Jiarubi's hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "You make me feel very comfortable."

Tong Jiarubi said nothing, just lowered her head.

"I used to like Nan Changzai, but I always felt that she lacked some charm. Yu Changzai was timid and didn't dare to talk to me. Yan Guiren has been depressed and worried since the death of the Queen Mother. Only you can make me feel at ease."

Then he patted Tong Jiarubi's hand.

Tong Jiaru was very happy, "It is my blessing that the emperor likes me."

"It's great that you can learn these housekeeping things. I heard from the Imperial Concubine that you did a good job. You should continue to help the Imperial Concubine share her worries in the future."

"Of course, I will live up to your expectations."

Yinzhen laughed, "It's rare that you and the imperial concubine get along so well. When you two stand together, I sometimes feel like you are one person."

Tong Jiarubi curled her lips. She seldom smiled.

Normally when she was in front of Yinzhen, her smile always seemed forced, but this time her smile was genuine.
