An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Because his secret meeting with Zhen Huan was discovered by Prince Dun, Prince Guo had to go to Prince Dun's mansion to meet him.

After a detailed chat, it was discovered that Prince Dun not only saw him meeting Zhen Huan, but he even heard clearly their plan to leave the Forbidden City together.

Therefore, Prince Dun threatened Prince Guo with this matter and asked him to lend a helping hand, forcing the Fourth Prince to release the Eighth and Ninth Brothers, and even better, give up the throne as well.

It was only then that Prince Guo learned that Prince Dun had already been in secret contact with Nian Gengyao. Not long after the emperor demoted him to general of Hangzhou, the two of them reached an alliance to force the current emperor to step down.

"Yunli, after this is done, let alone a woman who looks like Ulanara Rouze, even Ulanara Rouze's sister can be sent to your house."

Prince Guo shook his head repeatedly. This Tenth Brother was too bold to say such nonsense.

Even if he wanted to live together with Zhen Changzai, he had to get her approval. If he used his power to force her, what difference would that make him no different from his royal brother.

As for the Queen, she was the Emperor's first wife after all, and no one could insult her casually. Besides, he had no feelings for her, so what was the point of coming?

"It's just that the queen is old and not very good-looking. She is indeed not as good as her sister Rouze."

Prince Dun really looked down on the current emperor. He would try to use words to bully him from time to time, even in front of his other brothers. "But after all, he was the original choice of the wife, and only Yinzhen could do such a treacherous thing."

Prince Guo didn't have the courage of Prince Dun. He waved his hands again and again, "My brother ascended the throne because of the emperor's will. Why are you so troubled, tenth brother..."

"You don't have to agree. I will go to the palace tomorrow and tell Yinzhen everything I saw on the day of the Hundred Days Banquet."

"Tenth brother!" Being threatened by Prince Dun, Prince Guo also became anxious, "This is not a trivial matter, how can we just talk about it casually."

“You know it’s not a small matter, but you’re so bold as to do it.

I could help you welcome that woman into your house, but you backed off instead.

Could it be that you just like doing these sneaky things?"

The disdain on Prince Dun's face was almost overflowing. Although he looked down on Yinzhen, he actually looked down even more on Yunli, who coveted his brother's concubine.

After all, the former married her in a formal ceremony, and even went so far as to marry the Emperor for Rouze.

Prince Guo hurriedly explained, "Tenth brother, she and I are just close friends. I want to take her away from the palace because I can't bear to see her being bullied in the palace."

"I just thought Yinzhen was a hypocrite who killed his brothers, but I didn't expect you to be more sanctimonious than him."

Prince Dun waved his hand. If he didn't need his help, he would not want to say a word to such a villain.

Without waiting for Prince Guo to explain himself, Prince Dun interrupted him directly, "If you are willing to help, just nod.

If you don't want to, just say so. I will tell Yinzhen about this and you can handle it yourselves.

Don't dilly-dally like an old woman."

Prince Guo stood there in a daze with a lot to say. He clenched his fists and was unwilling to admit that he was a dirty villain who coveted his brother's concubine.

But Prince Dun had a bad temper, and he was unwilling to show any good face to anyone he didn't truly admire.

Therefore, he did not care about Prince Guo's face and humiliated him again and again.

"Forget it today. Go back and think about it carefully. The decision is entirely up to you."

Although Prince Dun was reckless, he also knew that he should not push people too hard, otherwise he would just become desperate and nothing could be accomplished.

"Tenth brother, this matter..." Prince Guo wanted to refuse, but Prince Dun did not give him a chance to speak and directly asked someone to ask him to leave.

Prince Guo was locked outside the door and couldn't help sighing. He and Zhen Changzai didn't know if they had offended Tai Sui, but every time they met, it would cause countless waves.

Not long after Prince Guo left, someone was sent from the palace to invite Prince Dun's wife to the palace for a chat.

After all, he had said inappropriate things at the banquet, so Prince Dun's wife came very tactfully.

The Queen also knew that this matter concerned the Emperor's reputation, so she changed her usual amiable demeanor and seriously pointed out Prince Dun's mistake yesterday.

Although the wife of Prince Dun was somewhat displeased by the reprimand, she still patiently dealt with the Queen, using the excuse that Prince Dun had drunk too much and behaved inappropriately, and asked the Emperor and the Queen to forgive him.

"A gentleman does not vent his anger on others, and does not repeat his mistakes." The Queen's expression was still serious. She asked Jianqiu to serve tea and snacks to Prince Dun's wife, who had been sitting for a long time. "I hope Prince Dun and his wife can understand."

"Yes." The wife of Prince Dun picked up the tea and gestured to the Queen from a distance, "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Queen. After I bring him back home, I will explain to the prince and ask him to change his temper."

The Queen also drank the tea, and the matter was over. She finally smiled and asked about the health of Prince Dun and the children in the mansion.

While talking, the Queen also specifically instructed Jianqiu to invite Zhen Huan to accompany her. After all, she had no idea what the Emperor and Zhen Huan were planning.

The Queen didn't want to get into trouble, so she simply pushed the trouble onto Zhen Huan and asked her to cause trouble for the Emperor.

But Zhen Huan's position was very low, and she was not as favored as in her previous life. When she came, she could only interject a few words from time to time to make herself less embarrassed.

Perhaps realizing that Zhen Huan was no ordinary person, Prince Dun's wife gradually started to communicate more with her, occasionally exchanging a few lines of poetry, and the conversation was not as awkward as it had been at the beginning.

Seeing that the two people were getting familiar with each other, the queen pretended to have a headache and sighed with a frown.

She held her forehead and stopped Jianqiu from looking for the imperial physician. "I am fine. I slept a little late last night, which caused a headache."

"Your Majesty, if you are not feeling well, please take a good rest. I have been in the palace for too long, and it is time for me to return home."

The wife of Prince Dun immediately stood up and advised the Queen to have a good rest.

Zhen Huan also echoed, saying that she would escort Prince Dun's wife out of the palace and would never be impolite, and asked the Queen to rest assured.

"Then I won't keep you any longer," the Queen's eyebrows were squeezed together in pain, and she looked really angry and hurt, "Jianqiu... send Fu Jin off."

"Jianqiu, just serve the Queen well. I have Concubine Zhen here to accompany me."

The queen did not persuade them much. After the two of them bowed and left, she was helped by Jianqiu back to the inner room to rest.

Zhen Huan and Prince Dun's wife chatted all the way, and they still felt unsatisfied even after leaving Jingren Palace.

"The relationship between the prince and his wife is really good. I feel envious when I see it."

"The emperor favors Concubine Xu the most. I have heard about this in the palace."

The wife of Prince Dun smiled politely. Not only did she know that the Emperor had once favored Xu Changzai, she also knew about the complicated relationship between Xu Changzai and Prince Guo.

Although she admired Yu Xuchangzai's talent, she had some complaints about her character.

She is already a concubine, but she is entangled with a man outside. The daughter of a good family would never behave like this.

"If we talk about the one the emperor loves the most, it's still Lady Nian." Zhen Huan mentioned Nian Shilan. She seemed puzzled and asked curiously, "Are Lady Nian and Lady Fu Jin old acquaintances?"

"We've only met a few times, so we can't be considered old acquaintances."

The wife of Prince Dun was still smiling. She guessed that Concubine Xu was curious about why her own prince would speak to Nian Dan on behalf of the Nian family, so she was not so defensive.

"Nian promised that she was pregnant now, but she was often worried about the affairs of the Nian family and couldn't sleep.

I thought Fu Jin and Nian Da Ying were friends, so maybe he could give her some words of comfort."

"The affairs of the Nian family..." Mrs. Dun sighed. Even if she was stupid, she knew what Prince Dun was planning.

Hearing that Xu Chang was talking about going to visit Nian Da Ying, she couldn't help but feel moved.

"You and I are just women in the deep palace and the harem, and we don't know anything about leading troops to fight.

But I know that family matters are the most detrimental to one’s mood. I wonder how sad Nian will be at night.”

"Yes." Mrs. Dun finally made up her mind, "The prince has a good relationship with General Nian, and he lost his composure at the banquet just now because he was worried that Nian would agree.

Since I have agreed to live somewhere this year, I would like to go and see her."

Mrs. Dun finally took the bait, and Zhen Huan finally put her heart at ease. She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Yikun Palace, "It's at the other end of the Imperial Garden. You have agreed to live in Yikun Palace this year.

But because of his current position, he would not come out even if the emperor released him from house arrest."

"So that's it."

It didn't take long before Zhen Huan brought Mrs. Dun to the Yikun Palace.

But Zhen Huan just helped Lady Dun to call Song Zhi out, and refused to enter Yikun Palace again.

“My relationship with Nian Da Ying is quite tense, so I cannot accompany Fu Jin in.

But Huanbi will stay near the Yikun Palace for me. After Fu Jin and Nian agree to reminisce about the past, I will escort Fu Jin out of the palace."

Lady Dun had something she wanted to ask Nian for, so she was relieved when Zhen Huan made it clear that she would not go to Yikun Palace.

Zhen Huan stood at the door and nodded slightly to let Lady Dun in. She did not turn around and leave until the man entered the Yikun Palace.

“My lady, this person has entered Yikun Palace, but she will not take action against Nian.

How could they pin the blame of Nian's miscarriage on Lady Duotun?"

Huanbi supported Zhen Huan, she frowned and thought, but she couldn't figure out how to fill in this key link in this plan.

"Don't forget, Concubine Duan has always wanted to avenge herself.

She is so smart that she will definitely not miss this opportunity today."

Zhen Huan had already asked Wen Shichu to deliver the medicine that Concubine Duan needed.

Concubine Duan is useless now, she is just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to harm Nian Shilan and put the blame on someone else.

Now that I have personally given her this opportunity, it depends on whether she can seize it.

"If Concubine Duan can seize this opportunity, she will not only avenge herself, but also avenge the young lady."

"Yes, I can get revenge without getting my hands dirty."

Zhen Huan turned her head and glanced in the direction of the Yikun Palace. At this moment, the sunlight was faintly obscured by the clouds, and the towering Yikun Palace looked dull and gloomy.

“Nian Shilan killed my child, so naturally she has to pay with her child.

But... just using the child's life to pay for it is far from enough."

As Huanbi listened to Zhen Huan's increasingly dangerous tone, she felt that the day when she could hold her head high was coming.

"Nian Yingda has lost her power and is relying on the baby in her belly to save her life.

If Concubine Duan succeeds, the Emperor will have no reason to spare her life."

"Yes, she will go to hell with her beloved Nian family."

Zhen Huan showed a wanton smile. She did not return to Yongshou Palace, but went all the way to the Imperial Garden.

After all, she still had to wait for Mrs. Dun to finish talking to Nian before she could send Mrs. Dun away from the palace.

"My lady, aren't we going to Chuxiu Palace? Let's talk to Concubine Duan about today's events, so that she won't miss the opportunity today."

Huanbi chose a shady place and helped Zhen Huan sit down slowly.

“No need, if we go all the way to remind Concubine Duan, our intentions will be too obvious.

We don't need to do anything unnecessary, just wait to send Mrs. Dun out of the palace."

However, Lady Dun did not let Zhen Huan wait too long. After just a cup of tea, she left Yikun Palace with her maid.

After Zhen Huan sent her out of the palace, she asked Huanbi to report to the Empress Dowager and report on Lady Dun's itinerary after leaving Jingren Palace.

After everything was settled, Zhen Huan returned to Yongshou Palace.

She used the excuse of having a heat stroke and refused to show up even when Concubine Duan sent someone to invite her.

Although Concubine Duan did not get more information from Zhen Huan, she was determined to seize this opportunity today to send the baby in Nian Shilan's belly to see the King of Hell.

Night, Yikun Palace.

Nian Shilan had fallen asleep, but her sleep was extremely restless. She trembled and suddenly woke up from her dream.

In a daze, Nian Shilan only saw a person standing beside the bed. She was startled and subconsciously yelled angrily.

However, the figure did not seem to be Songzhi. No matter how angry Nian Shilan was, the person did not speak.

It was not until the candle was lit that Nian Shilan could see the man's face clearly in the dim candlelight.

"Qi Yuebin? What are you doing in my Yikun Palace so late at night? Are you trying to steal my money or kill me?"

Concubine Duan had a calm expression on her face. She raised her hand, and Jixiang behind her brought a bowl of steaming medicine and placed it on the table.

“Now I am a concubine, and you are just a lowly concubine.

Not only did you fail to follow the rules and pay respect to me, you also overstepped your authority and called yourself me.

Nian Shilan, what crime have you committed?"

Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Duan's appearance, but instead of being afraid, she sneered with disdain, "A sickly woman who can't even lay eggs dares to act so arrogantly in front of me.

If I hadn't spared your life, do you think you could still sit here and boss me around? "

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be childless until now.

And you, a vicious woman, can actually get pregnant. God is really unfair."

Concubine Duan looked at Nian Shilan's belly and wished her eyes could turn into sharp blades to cut Nian Shilan's belly into pieces so that she could no longer show off her belly in front of her.

Such a vicious person does not deserve to have children.

Since God is unwilling to take it away, I will do it myself.

"Jixiang, hey, Nian promised to drink soup."
