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

Nian Shilan sneered, "I see. Songzhi, take some good medicine and send it to Concubine Cao. Tell her that this is a reward from me for her hard work. Comfort her and I will take care of the matters outside the palace."

"Yes."

"Oh, right, go find a few people outside the palace to make this matter public. It would be best if we let the people in the Cavalry Battalion know about it."

"Understood, ma'am."

Songzhi went downstairs to do it quickly.

Nian Shilan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Living in this deep palace, everyone has to be cautious.

Even if Cao Qinmo had doubts, she would never doubt the imperial physician's use of medicine.

Now, it can be said that Cao Qinmo has paid back for her evil plot to harm her brother.

……

Night banquet, drizzling rain.

The Emperor's banquet, Jiuzhou Qingyan is extremely lively tonight.

The concubines arrived early.

Seeing that Qin Changzai was there, many people pulled her aside to talk. Seeing that she was the person who received the most favors from the emperor, they had to flatter her.

Nian Shilan was wearing an emerald green narcissus silk dress today, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her hair was only decorated with pearls.

But her foundation is so good that even the passing of time has never left any trace on her appearance.

Even when Yinzhen took his seat, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

"Today, Concubine Hua's attire is simple and elegant, but it's not like your usual dressing style." Yinzhen sat down and looked at him with a smile.

Nian Shilan suppressed her thoughts, stood up slowly, and said angrily, "The past is the past, but now my mood is different, and my clothes are different too."

Hearing her say this, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel interested.

After all, he had just received a letter of greeting from Nian Gengyao. Nian Gengyao appeared to support strict laws and dealt with the affairs of the Eight Kings and the Ninth Kings strictly, which made him quite satisfied.

He also let go of some of the fear and discipline in his heart, so the more he looked at Nian Shilan, the more he liked her.

Especially since I haven't touched her for a few days, I miss her very much.

"When did your mood change? How come I didn't know?" Yinzhen continued.

Nian Shilan picked up a glass of wine and said, "The ancient palace is desolate, the palace flowers are lonely and red, and I don't see the emperor often, so my mood has naturally changed."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Changzai immediately glanced sideways at Nian Shilan, and then carefully looked at the emperor's expression.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes, and she swallowed.

Yinzhen laughed loudly, raised his glass and clinked it with hers, "I am busy with work, I will come to see you in a few days."

After saying this, Nian Shilan also laughed, drank the cup with Yinzhen, and then sat down.

Qin Changzai's heart also fell, and she looked at the emperor with some resentment.

But Yinzhen didn't look at her.

A brisk female voice was heard in the hall again, "Your Majesty is naturally troubled by state affairs. We concubines have no luck in asking for your attention. And I heard that Concubine Qin is too busy to serve the emperor."

The one who said this was Zhen Huan, and she was smiling a little frivolously.

When Qin Changzai saw that he was mentioned, he naturally couldn't keep silent.

She quickly picked up the wine glass and replied, "Sister Wanpin, you are just teasing me. The emperor is just taking a break from his busy schedule to take a rest here. He is still thinking about you sisters."

This statement couldn't be more appropriate, but if Zhen Huan really wanted to point out a few mistakes, she could do so.

"Sister, what you said is really nice. Although the emperor is thinking about us, his body is still with you."

After speaking, he laughed.

But no one in the hall dared to laugh, only Nian Shilan looked at the joke with a sidelong glance.

Qin Changzai frowned imperceptibly, wondering in her heart what was going on with Zhen Huan now.

Could it be that his previous gentleness and kindness were all pretended?

But even so, saying such things at a banquet is simply to embarrass her.

It can be said that everyone thinks so, but everyone is waiting to see how Qin Changzai will respond.

"Sister, what you said... is blaming me. Before I entered the palace, I heard that Concubine Wan was favored by the Emperor and was granted the privilege of bathing in the hot springs. I can't compare to her in these two aspects. Today, the Emperor just thinks highly of me and wants to spend a few more days with me. Please don't mind it, sister."

After saying this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, are you saying that I'm fussy?" Zhen Huan glanced at Yinzhen and then spoke again.

However, Yinzhen stopped her, "Okay, Wanpin, stop being so aggressive."

The emperor was angry. Zhen Huan bit her lip and slowly stood up.

The Queen saw that something was wrong and quickly spoke up, "Your Majesty, the sisters in the harem had a quarrel for a while, and I will talk to them in a good way later."

"Clang-crack-"

A celadon teacup was thrown down from the upper position and shattered immediately.

At this moment, the Queen, concubines, and servants all knelt down.

"Speak nicely? I have been doting on Concubine Qin these days and I have heard that there are people gossiping in the harem. Not only can the Queen not deal with the people who spread rumors, but now even the concubines' discord has come to light. You really think you are so good!"

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I will..." The Queen quickly pleaded guilty.

But before she could say more, Yinzhen interrupted her immediately.

"Wanpin was jealous and resentful of the imperial concubines, and spoke rudely, violating the taboo in the harem. She is being sent to Penglai Island, and is not allowed to return to the palace without my order." Yinzhen stared at Zhen Huan and said every word.

Zhen Huan looked up, eyes full of disbelief, "What?"

Concubine Jing immediately spoke up to plead for Zhen Huan, but was cruelly rejected by Yinzhen.

What no one expected was that Nian Shilan actually spoke.

"Your Majesty, I feel sorry for Wanpin. Maybe she said something wrong after drinking and offended Qin Changzai. Wanpin has never behaved like this before. If Your Majesty wants to punish Wanpin today, please punish me as well. Penglai Island is quiet and I am willing to go with you."

After saying this, he knelt down again to show his loyalty.

When these words were spoken, not only the Queen, but even Yinzhen was stunned.

No one expected that Concubine Hua would actually be willing to do this.

Even Zhen Huan was a little surprised and looked at Nian Shilan doubtfully.

But her expression was calm, without any hypocrisy or pretense at all.

Yinzhen pursed his lips, "Hua Fei, this matter has nothing to do with you, why are you doing this?"

"I just think that this punishment is unfair to Wanpin, but if the emperor insists on doing so, let me go to Penglai Island with Wanpin. It can be regarded as a companion. Otherwise, how can we pass these long and depressing days."

Nian Shilan spoke every word sincerely.

Yinzhen stared at her, "Okay, since you insist, come on, send Wanpin and Huafei to Penglai Island."

In a short period of time, the harem lost two favorite concubines.

Everyone was shocked.

The emperor actually sent a concubine and an imperial concubine to Penglai Island, which was comparable to the cold palace, just for a concubine.

The more the queen thought about this matter, the more strange it seemed to her.

I always feel like something is wrong, after all, the emperor always knows his limits.

I am definitely not a willful and arbitrary person, and what I did today must be inappropriate.

So after the banquet, he summoned An Lingrong late at night.

"The Queen."

"I always feel that today's matter is not that simple. Why don't you go to Penglai Island with Wanpin to investigate the truth."

The queen supported her head and was carefully recalling the details of today's events.
