Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Good luck to the Queen. I don't know what brought her here."

Seeing the Queen coming with bad intentions, Nian Shilan felt it, not to mention that Yu and Cao Qinmo were with her, which made Nian Shilan feel even more certain.

The Queen came in without paying any attention to Concubine Hua and sat directly on the main seat in Yikun Palace, looking as if she was here to call for an explanation.

"I feel that Concubine Hua is getting better and better at cooperating with the six palaces, and it's becoming more and more smooth."

The Queen had a sarcastic expression and tone, and it was obvious that she was trying to make things difficult for Concubine Hua.

Nian Shilan also knew that the queen had been angry all the time, but she just used this excuse to come to her to vent her anger today.

"Why does the Queen say that?"

Hua Fei smiled and said that it would not be a good idea to offend the Queen, so she wanted to see if the Queen could explain it.

It's fine if there is one, but if he is unreasonable, then you can't blame yourself.

For so many years, the Emperor has always harbored a grudge against the Empress. If the Empress continues to behave like this and does not know how to restrain herself, I'm afraid one day she will really have to abdicate and let someone else take over.

"how you said that?"

The Queen looked at Nian Shilan with a scornful smile. By asking this, wasn't it obvious that she was pretending to be ignorant even though she knew the truth?

She knew best what Nian Shilan had done, so there was no need for her to say more.

The Queen was too lazy to say more to Nian Shiland, so she just gave Yu a look and let Yu speak the rest.

Yu also immediately understood what the Queen meant. She had already suffered a great injustice, and now she felt that she had the Queen's support, so she didn't have to be pretentious.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Hua."

As soon as Yu opened her mouth, Nian Shilan knew what was going on. Was she coming here to defend her voice? How ridiculous!

"Hey, what happened to Sister Yu's voice? Why did it become like a duck's voice? Will she be able to sing Kunqu Opera in the future?!"

As she spoke, Nian Shilan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

The sound of asking for help was so unpleasant that even Songzhi and Jinxi couldn't help laughing in the back.

There was no other intention. Nian Shilan just wanted to irritate Yu. Humph, it was this voice that had allowed her to act like a foxy woman for so long. As a person, one should not be too proud, as it is easy to rise high and fall hard.

Seeing Yu's frustrated look, Nian Shilan felt that her goal had been achieved.

Even the Queen sitting on the throne could only stare blankly and could not say anything. In case Yu really did something against her authority, it would be right for Concubine Hua to punish her.

"Empress Hua, was it you who caused Yu's voice to become sore?"

Seeing that it was useless to let Yu speak herself and Nian Shilan was unlikely to admit it, it would be safer for the Queen to ask herself.

But even the queen can't do anything to Nian Shilan.

"Your Majesty, you are wrongly accusing me."

Listening to the Queen's words, Nian Shilan looked aggrieved: "The Emperor stayed at my place yesterday, along with the Fourth Prince. I heard from the Emperor that Sister Yu is an excellent Kunqu singer, with the grace of Queen Chunyuan back then. I've never seen that before, so I wondered if the Emperor could let me see it, and that's why I invited Sister Yu here."

Nian Shilan knew that it would not work if she alone talked about this matter. The best thing was to bring the emperor along so that the empress would have nothing to say. Originally, the Kunqu opera sung by Yu was not for her alone.

Nian Shilan had just finished speaking when Yu Ying'er interrupted her: "Your Majesty, it is true that I sang for His Majesty and Empress Hua, but I cannot drink anything while singing. Yesterday, I drank the loquat water that Empress Hua gave me, and my voice became like this. Not only can I not sing for His Majesty, I don't know how long it will take to recover and whether it can be restored to its previous state."

Yu Ying'er was crying so hard that if she continued crying for a while, she might even commit suicide. Concubine Hua couldn't bear to see this kind of scene.

After all, she was born a lowly maid, and she only knows these tricks. She is not worthy of being in a respectable place.

"So what Yu agreed to means is that I intentionally harmed your throat?"

Nian Shilan could hear the hidden meaning in the words. In fact, this was what Yu meant, but she just agreed and couldn't say these words after all.

"Your Majesty, this is an injustice to me. How can you say that I did it?"

Concubine Hua would definitely have to make an explanation. No one would admit to this false crime committed on her head. In fact, it was Yu's own fault for being stupid. After all, the mouth was on her body. If she said she didn't want to drink, then she wouldn't drink. Could she force her to do so?

How funny!

"Since Sister Yu can't drink, why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you trying to damage your throat and then wrongly accuse me?"

Since Yu would pretend in front of the Queen, naturally you, Nian Shilan, would do the same. Anyway, the Queen only heard Yu's one-sided story. After all, she had never seen anything. What could the Queen do to you?

"Hua Fei!"

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Just when the few people were in a stalemate, the Queen Mother came over.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted, regardless of whether the empress dowager liked it or not.

Seeing the Queen Dowager coming, the Queen was very proud. Long before the Queen set out for Yikun Palace, she had already sent people to Shoukang Palace to invite the Queen Dowager.

After all, the current queen does not have the power to assist in managing the six palaces, so it may not be easy to deal with Concubine Hua. However, it would be different if the empress dowager was invited over.

"All right."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Without harmony in the harem, how can I expect peace?"

Looking at the people in the room, not one of them is worry-free.

"Hua Fei, my dear child, tell me, what happened?"

As soon as the Queen Mother came in, she saw that Concubine Hua had a face full of aggrieved expression, but the expressions on the Queen and Yu's faces were different. It was obvious that this was just a trick. The Queen Mother had lived in the palace all her life and had seen many such tricks.

"Empress Dowager, it's nothing serious. It's just that Yu Ying's voice is broken. The Empress brought Sister Yu here early in the morning. I didn't know what happened until I heard Sister Yu tell me."

Since the Queen Mother asked, Nian Shilan stated everything first. As for what was right and wrong, the Queen Mother should have made the decision in her mind.

It was nothing at first, and the Empress Dowager's expression was still stern, but after listening to what Concubine Hua said, even her frown began to relax.

The Queen Mother didn't like Yu in the first place, after all, she was of low status. In fact, Yu had been singing day and night in the palace these days, which had already annoyed the Queen Mother. She was looking for an opportunity to deal with her, and now, Concubine Hua took action for her.
