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

The weather is getting colder.

Nian Shilan also stayed in the palace and was unwilling to go out. Apart from occasionally visiting Concubine Duan in her palace, she would go to Baohua Hall to recite scriptures in her spare time.

Concubine Duan's health was still the same, but with the careful care of the imperial physician, it was getting better.

But when she went there, their attitude towards her was still so cold.

Nian Shilan was not anxious, she knew what Concubine Duan really wanted.

Most of the women in the deep palace are lonely, and if they don't have children, it is even more difficult to pass the time.

After her death, she has been floating in the Forbidden City for so many years. She has seen so many ups and downs of the moon, understood so many infidelities, and witnessed so many kinds of love and hate.

Nian Shilan was spending time in the palace, and the emperor didn't come either.

She had long been accustomed to being alone, so the days were not that difficult.

First snow.

The snow, as light as rain and fog, fluttered in the air and fell on the red bricks and tiles like a layer of gauze.

It was white outside the window, and the light projected into the window looked even more beautiful, brightening the entire palace.

"It's the first snow today, and the Emperor is holding a family banquet in Yuqing Palace. Your Majesty still isn't going?" Songzhi pursed her lips and couldn't help but remind her again.

Although the Emperor ignored the Empress, he did not confine her to her house. Last time, the Empress arranged a banquet for the whole palace, the Empress did not go.

Nian Shilan was drawing her eyebrows and gently put down the ink in her hand. "Where are you going? What are you doing? Watch carefully. Something big is going to happen today."

Today, Zhen Huan used butterflies in the Plum Garden to regain favor. She remembered it clearly in her previous life.

Songzhi sighed, "Your Majesty, even though the Emperor has ignored you, if you don't take the initiative to get close to him, how can he know your feelings? The general has also been worried about you lately, and he sent someone to tell you that he will definitely join forces with Prince Dun in the front court to help you speak more."

Nian Shilan frowned, startled, and her beautiful phoenix eyes showed worry, "Why is my brother so close to Prince Dun again? Didn't I ask someone to pass a letter to my brother? Did you read it?"

"The general is also worried about the queen. I'm afraid this is the only solution that can be used right now."

Nian Shilan clenched her fists, feeling bad, "What good will this do! This is the stupidest idea! Get your pen and ink ready immediately, I want to write another letter!"

This time, the words in the letter that Nian Shilan sent to her brother were even more intense.

Not only did he write that he disapproved of his brother's interactions with Prince Dun, but he also analyzed the pros and cons of it.

My brother is a powerful official. If I get too close to the prince, I will definitely be gossiped about. If he is suspected of treason, I will definitely be hurt.

He also explained that even if he had no favor in the palace, no one dared to covet him. He was already the mistress of a palace and only wanted his family to be stable and had no other concerns.

Finally, Nian Shilan pulled out her hairpin and stabbed the flesh on her hand.

"Your Majesty!" Song Zhi stopped her immediately, her face pale, "What are you going to do, Your Majesty? Even if you don't have the grace, you can't commit suicide!"

Nian Shilan frowned and pushed her away, "I am not seeking my own death. If not for this, I'm afraid my brother wouldn't really make up his mind. For the sake of the Nian family, I must do this."

"I don't understand, but I will never allow Your Majesty to hurt herself. If Your Majesty wants blood, just take my blood!" Songzhi said with tears already falling.

"Okay Songzhi, I know you are doing this for my own good, but this time, I have to do it myself!"

Nian Shilan had made up her mind. She dismissed Songzhi and shed tears while dripping blood onto the letter paper.

Every word in this letter is full of affection, and the author is concerned about his brother's family.

From appealing to emotions to reasoning, and then to the final five points of coercion.

My brother would do so if he cared about his own life.

After writing the title, he asked someone to deliver it to his brother as quickly as possible.

After all these were arranged, Songzhi came to report.

"Your Majesty, the guy from Suiyuxuan has regained his favor." Songzhi lowered her head, not daring to look at her expression, waiting for her to throw things or lose her temper.

But unexpectedly, Nian Shilan just nodded and said nothing.

Songzhi raised her head and called out worriedly, "My queen?"

Only then did Nian Shilan come out of her thoughts and slowly looked at Songzhi.

Songzhi's face was very good-looking, inferior to hers but not inferior to most of the concubines in the palace. It was just that as a slave, she had no right to dress up.

Moreover, Songzhi is loyal to her and has never had any second thoughts.

In her previous life, her favor meant she became the emperor's pawn.

Just like her, I threw it away after using it.

In this life, perhaps she should find a good family for Songzhi so that she can be a wife and not have to fight and scheme like her in the palace.

"Songzhi, how old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Songzhi was startled and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty? Are you going to chase me away? But is there anything I haven't done well in serving you?"

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "You have served me for so many years and have suffered so much injustice. Now that you are old enough, it is time for you to leave the palace."

"Your Majesty, I don't want to leave the palace. I will follow you forever. Please don't drive me away!" Songzhi was so anxious that she cried and kowtowed.

Nian Shilan couldn't bear it and helped her up.

He wiped away her tears with trembling hands, and then said, "Silly girl, you will suffer if you follow me."

"I am not afraid. I will follow you till death."

"Well, you are worthy of being my man. You have some character. You must remember what I say next."

"Yes."

"Don't harm Wanpin, and don't hurt Duanfei. From now on, we must take every step carefully, because there is a great disaster waiting for us ahead."

Songzhi didn't understand, but she would do whatever the queen said.

……

It has been a few days since Zhen Huan regained favor.

Shen Meizhuang smiled with her eyebrows flying, and she was really happy in her heart, "You have finally figured it out, and now I am relieved. I saw you were depressed a while ago and I was very upset. Now it's good that you are finally making a comeback, which really makes me feel relieved."

"Look at you, sister. You have said this so many times today. Come and drink some of your favorite Biluochun to moisten your throat." Zhen Huan smiled with her hands covering her mouth and ordered Huanbi to serve tea.

Shen Meizhuang shook her head. "If I don't make a sound, I'll be amazing. I've been silent for so long. This is really a relief."

"In fact, I asked you to come here today because I wanted to talk to you about Concubine Hua. Do you think Concubine Hua seems to have changed?"

Zhen Huan moved closer and looked at Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang disagreed, "Changed? I didn't feel that way. I was just frightened by the emperor's punishment. I can't forget the past. Could something have happened again?"

Only then did Zhen Huan tell her what happened on Chang Street.

Shen Meizhuang was surprised that Concubine Qi and Noble Lady Fucha were so rampant, and of course she was also wondering why Concubine Hua would help her.

"Everything here is really strange. Besides, the previous incident of the scar-removing glue led to Ling Rong. I was puzzled before, how could she find out the scar-removing glue so easily, and in such a short time, and how could she find it so accurately. But did she do anything?"

Shen Meizhuang was suspicious.

"No, Xiao Yunzi said that when Zhou Ninghai brought people to investigate, they took away the scar-removing glue right under his nose. Besides, Concubine Hua did not leave Suiyuxuan that night, and had no contact with other people. There was no chance that musk was added. Doctor Wen said that the musk has been mixed in for some time, so it must have been mixed in when it was made. There is no way she did it."

Zhen Huan explained.

Shen Meizhuang thought for a moment and said, "What about the maidservant beside Lingrong? Did you find out anything? It seems strange that she was killed for no reason."

"This matter is indeed full of doubts, I'm afraid..." Zhen Huan lowered her eyes, a trace of sadness flashing in them.
