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

late at night.

It was raining outside the window, the candle was about to burn out, and the faint light was dancing on the head of the bed.

Nian Shilan leaned on the pillow, looking at the man sleeping beside her.

In fact, as early as the moment Yinzhen stepped into her bedroom.

She had already woken up and guessed that it might be the emperor.

And the so-called passionate and charming postures that came later were just her pretending.

She pursed her lips indifferently.

She never knew that her life would be so hard, having to wear a mask all day long and not be able to express her true thoughts.

Do all the other women in the palace live like this?

Nian Shilan didn't know.

She turned her head and looked at Yinzhen's sleeping face, and a tear slowly slid down her cheeks.

There was a faint morning light outside the window, and gradually lights were shining.

Yinzhen opened his eyes contentedly and saw the sad scene of the beauty crying.

"Why are you crying for no reason?" Yinzhen sat up and hugged Nian Shilan in his arms.

Nian Shilan had been holding back her tears just now, but now she burst into tears. Her thin shoulders trembled as she clutched Yinzhen's sleeves tightly.

"Your Majesty, I am truly wronged."

Yinzhen sighed, "I know all your grievances. I will investigate the matter and give you the truth."

Nian Shilan looked up at him, about to cry, "Shilan knows that she is ignorant and has always acted in a high-profile manner. She has offended many concubines on weekdays, but Shilan only wanted the emperor to look at her more. Shilan is jealous, but she has never had the intention to harm others."

She spoke in a sad voice, and Yinzhen held her in his arms without saying a word.

Nian Shilan wasn't sure what he was thinking, so she could only continue talking.

"I have been close to Concubine Cao Qinmo only because she was my concubine and gave birth to Princess Wen Yi for the emperor. So I treated her kindly. Her mother's family is not well-off, so I asked my brother to take good care of her. I just didn't expect that she would use this incident to cause trouble."

As she spoke, she gently wiped away the icy tears on her face with a silk handkerchief.

"In fact, I don't blame her. She reported me and slandered me, but I don't blame her. Maybe Shilan offended her because of her domineering behavior. I just didn't expect that she would pass away now..."

As she spoke, she shrank into Yinzhen's arms in fear.

With a beautiful girl in her arms, the beauty showed weakness, allowing the man to be confused.

Even Yinzhen was no exception.

And what Nian Shilan said next moved Yinzhen even more.

"I remember that when I was still in the palace, Sister Duanfei once told me about the tolerance and kindness of Queen Chunyuan."

After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Yinzhen lovingly, "So I have been thinking these past few days, if Shilan can be as decent as Queen Chunyuan, then the emperor will not abandon Shilan."

Yinzhen gently stroked her soft fingers and placed them on her cheek.

Listening to his woman expressing her love for him so emotionally.

He was naturally happy in his heart, besides, they had been friends for many years and he felt indebted to them.

He had already made up his mind to protect Nian Shilan Wuwang.

"I know what you mean, so I came to see you. You have learned a lesson from what happened. You should control your temper in the future."

Yinzhen coaxed her softly.

Nian Shilan nodded delicately and leaned on his shoulder.

"Shilan understands. By the way, the former Qin Changzai is now Qin Nuo in the palace. Shilan thinks that she is still a young lady after all, and it is not good for her to order people around in Yikun Palace. It is better to find a reason to drive her out of the palace. First, it will reassure the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Second, Shilan's people are always unhappy when they see her. It is better to let her out of the palace out of sight."

"Why did you think of sending her away?" Yinzhen rubbed her fragrant neck.

Nian Shilan's expression remained unchanged. "It is also for the sake of accumulating virtue. She was originally of age to leave the palace, but the emperor valued her so much that she stayed in the palace to serve. Now the empress dowager thinks that she is a foxy woman who seduces the emperor. She will be bullied wherever she goes. I want to do a good deed and send her out of the palace."

Yinzhen hugged her body and looked at her eyes carefully.

Nian Shilan's breathing stagnated. She didn't know if she could succeed.

I don’t know how much doubt Yinzhen still has towards her and the Nian family.

"You have a kind heart, and that's a good thing."

After that, he stopped talking.

Nian Shilan curled her lips, not daring to show too much, so she could only say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."

The dawn light in the sky has already brightened.

The emperor was no longer sleepy and had already gotten up.

While helping Yinzhen change his clothes, Nian Shilan looked at Qin Nuo standing beside her and told him that she was going to be pardoned and expelled from the palace.

After hearing this, Qin Nuo suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help, but I have something else to report."

Qin Nuo kowtowed.

Yinzhen glanced at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

"Some time ago, I was deceived by a villain and did something disrespectful to Empress Hua. Now that Empress Hua has graciously allowed me to leave the palace, I have no choice but to speak out."

Nian Shilan was tying a pearl and jade purse for the emperor and raised her eyebrows. "What have you done to disrespect me?"

"The traitor asked me to place the flowers and leaves of Wan Nian Chun in Concubine Hua's palace, saying that he would ask the imperial physician to identify Concubine Hua as the one who caused Concubine Cao to lose her voice and become mute!"

When Nian Shilan heard this, her legs became weak and she almost collapsed on Yinzhen.

"Aglaonema? Who told you to do this?" Yinzhen frowned.

Qin Nuo knelt on the ground, slowly raised his head and looked at Yinzhen, "It's Miss Huichun beside the queen."

A tear suddenly fell from Nian Shilan's charming eyes, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong to make the Queen hate me so much? Could it be that I have offended the Queen in the past?"

Yinzhen looked indifferent, but his furrowed brows also highlighted his doubts about the matter.

"The Queen is not such a confused person. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't worry."

Yinzhen patted her hands and signaled her not to worry.

Nian Shilan said no more, just gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Since the emperor has said so, I will let it go, but I don't know whether this matter is true or not, it is better to arrest Qin Nuo now, so as not to wrongly accuse the queen."

Yinzhen no longer had the heart to care about these trivial matters at the moment. He was very upset because the palace had been in unrest for the past few days.

He just responded and then walked away.

Nian Shilan's house arrest has not been lifted yet, so there is no need to pay respects to the Queen.

However, the emperor's sudden visit to Yiku Palace at night spread throughout the palace.

On the way to pay respects to the Queen.

Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan with a serious expression, "Huan'er, do you think Concubine Hua will regain her favor?"

Zhen Huan shook her head, "Sister, I don't know, but it's not that easy to overthrow Concubine Hua. Maybe it depends on what the Queen does now."

"I'm afraid that now we have to go back to the hard times we had before. It seems that the Emperor still has feelings for her."

Shen Meizhuang sighed and looked at the endless stone road in front of her.

Suddenly, he turned around and saw Concubine Duan's sedan chair coming from the intersection.

"Concubine Duan? She's out today too." Zhen Huan was surprised.

"I'm afraid something big is going to happen today."
