Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 545 A Sure Win

"Ahahahahaha, Your Majesty, drink!"

From the long street, you can hear the laughter coming from Chuxiu Palace. It is the voice of Concubine Qi.

Suddenly, Nian Shilan was furious.

"The Queen is here!" Zhou Ninghai shouted loudly while standing at the gate of Chuxiu Palace.

The sound inside seemed to stop abruptly, and after a moment, Concubine Qi came out to greet them.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. What is the matter with you?"

Concubine Qi was kneeling at the door, but Nian Shilan was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she naturally couldn't run away.

Seeing Nian Shilan was about to go in, Concubine Qi quickly stopped her: "Your Highness cannot go in, the Emperor is inside. If you enter without the Emperor's summons, be careful that the Emperor will blame you!"

Of course she couldn't let Nian Shilan in. Given Nian Shilan's personality, if she saw her and the emperor drinking and having fun without paying attention to state affairs, she would definitely skin herself alive!

"This is the Queen!" Nian Shilan didn't give her a good look and walked into the palace.

"Zhou Ninghai, look at her!"

After entering Chuxiu Palace, she saw the emperor lying on the couch, drunk. She had never seen the emperor like this!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Nian Shilan called softly, and the emperor seemed to regain consciousness: "Queen."

"You came."

Seeing the emperor's expression, Nian Shilan couldn't help but get angry: "What is the emperor doing? Doesn't the previous dynasty care?"

"Your Majesty, please try to persuade the Emperor. Ever since the incident with Concubine Wan, the Emperor has become like this. I really can't persuade him."

Su Peisheng stamped his feet anxiously. It was not a good idea to watch the emperor become more depressed day by day.

In this situation, even the queen, Nian Shilan, would be criticized by the world for not fulfilling her duties as a queen.

"Eunuch Su, have someone carry the emperor back to the Yangxin Palace. Concubine Qi, demote her to a concubine! Confine her to the Chuxiu Palace."

Nian Shilan has always acted decisively, and this matter cannot be delayed.

After arriving at the Yangxin Palace, Nian Shilan had someone prepare a bowl of sobering soup and bring it over.

The emperor was drunk and still shouting "Hanhuan".

The old man is really a worry! I am here to serve him, but he is calling someone else's name!

When everyone heard that the emperor was drunk, they all rushed over. Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan came early to help.

"Don't be angry, sister. I guess it happened suddenly and the emperor hasn't recovered yet." Concubine Duan was afraid that Nian Shilan would take it to heart, so she comforted her.

"I am not angry. I hold great power now. Am I not better than a man?"

That's quite true. It's thanks to the emperor's lack of ambition that he gave me this opportunity!

"I'm sorry to trouble you two sisters these days. There are some matters in the previous court that I need to handle." After saying that, Nian Shilan left.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tingyu was called into the Yikun Palace.

Now Nian Shilan naturally has nothing to worry about. Zhen Huan, the big trouble has been eliminated. The emperor is now in such a desperate state. As the queen, it is natural for her to manage the government.

Even if Zhang Tingyu had any objections, he couldn't say anything.

"I would like to send my regards to the Queen."

Even if Nian Shilan didn't look for him, he would still like to go to the palace to ask why the emperor had not been seen for several days.

"I don't know why the Queen wants me here, but I have something to ask the Queen."

Zhang Tingyu has devoted himself to the court for many years, and now with so many misfortunes happening one after another, he looks much older.

"Master Zhang, please speak."

Before Zhang Tingyu opened his mouth, Nian Shilan already knew what he wanted to say. He had always been dedicated and responsible, so he must be here to ask about the emperor.

"The emperor hasn't attended court for a few days. I wonder what happened to the emperor? Not only that, but I haven't seen Prince Guo for a few days."

Hearing what Zhang Tingyu said, Nian Shilan interrupted him immediately.

"This is exactly why I asked Master Zhang to come here. There have been many changes in the palace recently, and I have been very busy, so this matter has been put on hold."

Zhang Tingyu listened carefully and found the answer he wanted in Nian Shilan's words.

"Does Lord Zhang still remember Concubine Wan?"

Zhang Tingyu nodded. Of course he remembered it. There was quite a commotion when he came back.

"Why? Can it be related to Concubine Wan?"

The more he listened, the angrier he became. He had always thought that Concubine Wan was a beauty who brought disaster, but the emperor just wouldn't listen, no matter what he said.

"At that time, Concubine Wan returned to the palace because she was pregnant, but at that time, the emperor always thought that the child was his."

"Isn't it the Emperor's?"

Zhang Tingyu's eyes widened. This shocking secret was too explosive.

"That child is the emperor's nephew, the emperor's own flesh and blood!"

Nian Shilan spoke calmly, but Zhang Tingyu could no longer sit still.

If it were in his own house, the teacup in his hand would have been thrown out long ago.

"Ridiculous! Doesn't that mean Concubine Wan and Prince Guo are having an affair?! How can it be so ridiculous?! It's not a pity that he died, but he had to hook up with a prince just because of a woman! It's such a pity, Prince Guo is a young and talented man, what kind of lady can't he find? The eldest daughter of the Duke of Pei's mansion has been in love with Prince Guo for many years, but Prince Guo has never agreed to stay with her. How could she be seduced by Zhen Huan?"

"That's nothing." Nian Shilan sighed and said, "Our emperor is still obsessed with this Wan Fei."

"Ever since Concubine Wan died, the Emperor has been drinking to drown his sorrows. This is why you haven't seen the Emperor in court for several days."

Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu became even more furious, but at the same time, he also understood and appreciated Nian Shilan even more.

"Thank you for your help these days, Madam."

Nian Shilan did not expect that Zhang Tingyu, who always valued male supremacy, would say such words to her and bow to express his gratitude.

"That's fine. But I'll still be in charge of government affairs for the next few days, so if you have anything to say, just come and tell me."

"Yes, there is nothing else. I will take my leave now."

Zhang Tingyu also knew that this matter could not be concealed, so after he left the palace, the matter spread out.

By the time Nian Shilan went to court the next day, the matter had already become a hot topic in the city.

In fact, she didn't expect things to develop so quickly.

But fortunately, the topic discussed in today's court was one that satisfied me.

All the civil and military officials in the court expressed their dissatisfaction with the emperor, and Prince Dun even proposed that he should ascend the throne.

Others did not object, but the emperor was still alive and he himself had no great achievements, so there was no rush for this matter.

Besides, the emperor doesn't have many sons now. The emperor has issued an edict before that Hongshi cannot inherit the throne. So he only has one son, Hongli, who is fostered under his lap. So no matter what, he is sure to win.
