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

Nian Shilan walked closer, bowed deeply in front of Concubine Duan, and half-knelt on the ground.

"This is..." Concubine Duan was confused and took a step back.

"Before, I was so ignorant that I didn't see the clues in the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine. Now that Wanpin has miscarried, I have carefully thought about the conversation between you and me last time. I finally understood that I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me."

Nian Shilan continued.

"My sister had no intention of harming Wanpin's dragon fetus, but the dragon fetus died because of me. I became the butcher's knife of the evildoer behind the scenes. I killed Wanpin's child and became the target of public criticism. Back then in the palace, my sister used a bowl of pregnancy-protecting medicine to harm the fetus in my belly by mistake, and became someone else's butcher's knife. But my sister not only did not find out the truth, but instead used a bowl of safflower to harm you and my sister. You will never get pregnant again."

When talking about these things again, Nian Shilan couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes.

Thinking back to what happened that day, if she had been more careful, would the outcome have been different?

Concubine Duan didn't expect that she would say these words.

That day, Nian Shilan came to Yanqing Palace to humiliate her. She spoke for a long time, just wanting to remind Nian Shilan that there was someone else behind the incident.

Unexpectedly, the seeds planted at that time would make Nian Shilan wake up after the miscarriage of Wanpin.

"You, you already know why bother to mention these things, just know it in your heart."

Concubine Duan shook her head slowly, her face looking sad. That faint sadness was so gentle yet so pale.

Nian Shilan shook her head. "I came here to apologize to you. The 10,000 red flowers caused a big mistake back then, and all these targeting and ridiculous actions made it even worse. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope that you can give me a chance."

Hearing this, Concubine Duan started coughing again.

She has been domineering and rampant for many years, and was most cruel to Concubine Duan Qi Yuebin.

In the past, Qi Yuebin was not allowed to receive treatment from the imperial physician in the palace, which caused her to be in poor health. Later, when the emperor became emperor, relying on her brother's reputation in the previous dynasty, she could bully Concubine Duan openly.

That's why she is now suffering from illness. She becomes breathless and sweats profusely after talking for a while.

"How can I forgive my sins... cough... cough... cough cough." Concubine Duan said and started coughing again.

Nian Shilan stopped talking, supported Concubine Duan's limp body, and hurriedly called Jixiang in.

After Jixiang helped Concubine Duan onto the bed, he immediately knelt down and said hurriedly, "Empress Hua, my queen is weak and needs to rest. Please come back early. When my queen is better, I will invite Concubine Hua to come over for a chat."

Jixiang was very protective of his master, and he had been guarding not far from the door just now, fearing that she would bully Concubine Duan again.

She didn't say anything more, just took a deep look at Concubine Duan lying on the couch, and said slowly, "Then I'll go back first. I know you don't trust the people I sent, but since Yanqing Palace is short of manpower, I will ask the Queen Mother to send someone to take care of you. As for the imperial doctors on duty at the Imperial Hospital, they will treat you, so you don't have to worry about it."

She had said everything she needed to say, but Concubine Duan did not respond.

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes, sighed softly, and turned away.

-

After Hua Fei and her group left.

Jixiang quickly helped Qi Yuebin lie down on the couch, "Your Majesty, please take a rest. I just cooked some medicine, but it has gone cold now. Your Majesty, please drink it."

Qi Yuebin put one hand on his chest, trying to calm down, his dazzling eyes glanced at Jixiang lightly.

"Jixiang, why do you think Concubine Hua did this?"

Jixiang stirred the medicine with a spoon and said, "I don't understand. Aunt Songzhi just gave me a lot of silver. I think the people she picked are suitable. But according to what the queen said, I rejected them one by one."

Qi Yuebin said nothing and drank the bitter medicine mouthful by mouthful.

Jixiang added, "I'm afraid he is being too attentive for no reason. He is either a traitor or a thief."

Qi Yuebin glanced at her and said, "I also find it strange, but what she said today was full of emotion. She is definitely not a hypocritical person. All her emotions are written on her face. She doesn't want to pretend, and she doesn't know how to pretend."

Jixiang was confused by this and took the medicine bowl. "Does Your Majesty really want to accept the kindness of Concubine Hua? But Concubine Hua was domineering in the past and even made Concubine Wan miscarry by forcing her to kneel under the scorching sun. It's clear that she has bad intentions."

Qi Yuebin gently wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. "Although Concubine Hua is domineering, she is not stupid. How could she really let Concubine Wan get into trouble when she is in charge of the harem?"

"What the empress means is..."

"Forget it, let's wait and see."

……

It has been more than a month since Wanpin had her miscarriage.

Except for the fifteenth day when the emperor went to the Queen's Palace to accompany the Queen, the rest of the time he stayed in Chuxiu Palace with Wen Yi and Concubine Cao.

The Queen was so anxious that she proposed the matter of selecting a concubine to the Emperor again, but the Emperor had no intention of doing so at the moment, so he gave up.

The Queen Mother had been in poor health before, and Nian Shilan was stopped when she wanted to pay her respects.

Nian Shilan knew that the Queen Mother didn't want to see her.

Waited a few more days.

Today, Nian Shilan got up very early.

Take a shower, change clothes, and dress up.

Nian Shilan has always had a bad temper. Although he is harsh to his servants, he is clear about rewards and punishments, and his servants are cautious and careful in doing things.

Songzhi was happy that her queen, who had been confined to the house for more than half a month, was finally going out for a walk again. She kept saying to herself that she must comb a beautiful bun for the queen and dress her in luxurious clothes.

Maybe I can meet the emperor this time when I go out.

Nian Shilan saw Songzhi holding a luxurious pearl hairpin in her hand, and glanced at her own beautiful face in the bronze mirror.

"Just comb my hair into a normal bun." She stroked her black hair and said, "Bring me the dress decorated with black and white plum blossoms."

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then agreed but was puzzled, "Your Majesty once said that making clothes is like being a person, it must be grand and colorful, but recently you are wearing more and more plain clothes?"

"I am going to meet the Queen Mother and cast a scripture in the Baohua Palace to pray for blessings. It is not appropriate to be too conspicuous."

Songzhi: “Yes.”

Shoukang Palace.

After receiving the message from Aunt Zhuxi, Nian Shilan went in.

"Your concubine pays her respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health." Nian Shilan bowed respectfully.

The Queen Mother leaned on the golden pillow and sat sideways. She coughed twice and said, "You guys go down first."

Zhu Xi and the maid who served the medicine withdrew in response, leaving only Nian Shilan and the Queen Mother in the palace.

"Come, come and talk to me."

"I am guilty. I dare not defile the Empress Dowager's golden bed. This time I come here to apologize to the Empress Dowager. Please forgive my stupidity." Nian Shilan said every word sincerely.

"Okay, you've kneeled for so many days, you've had enough. Why are you still kneeling in front of me? Get up." The Queen Mother sighed.

Nian Shilan couldn't insist any longer and stood up and sat down beside the Empress Dowager's bed.
