Chapter 371 An Lingrong 27
"Sister, don't you find it strange? After Nian Shilan had a miscarriage, she has been taking good care of her body, but after so many years, there has been no good news."
After hearing what Concubine Duan said, Zhen Huan fell into deep thought. It was indeed a bit strange.
Could it be that Nian Shilan’s foundation was damaged after the miscarriage, and even if she takes care of herself, she will never recover to her best?
Or was it that someone was plotting against her and preventing her from getting pregnant?
But who is this person?
Apart from the Queen, the only person who can prevent Nian Shilan from getting pregnant is... the Emperor.
Zhen Huan looked up in shock: "You mean..."
Although the rest of the words were not spoken, both parties understood what it meant.
Knowing that Zhen Huan understood, Concubine Duan patted the back of her hand, and everything was said without words.
"Sister, I hope you understand what I mean. This matter involves... You have to be careful. If you need any help, just tell me."
Concubine Duan hinted to Zhen Huan and then left Suiyuxuan.
In the following days, Zhen Huan did not take any action. She was still thinking about whether to start from this aspect. She knew in her heart that Nian Shilan loved the emperor very much. If Nian Shilan knew that she had wanted a child for so many years but could not because of the emperor, the pain would be enormous.
She definitely can't accept it.
But this is too risky to do. What if the emperor finds out? He will definitely vent his anger on her.
Then it is very likely that the love and favor she has worked so hard to obtain will be gone again. When she thinks about the days without love and favor, she will feel uncomfortable and painful, and feel that every day will be difficult to endure.
If she were asked to give up forcing Nian Shilan to death, as soon as she thought of her targeting of her, the death of her sister Mei, and the fact that her family was destroyed by Nian Shilan, how could she allow Nian Shilan to live well?
After thinking it over again and again, Zhen Huan decided to take action.
The first thing is to find evidence that the emperor has prevented Nian Shilan from getting pregnant.
Now Nian Shilan is in the cold palace and no longer lives in Yikun Palace. Now there is no master in Yikun Palace.
It would be easy to get in, but if Nian Shilan died, it would be easy to be discovered during the investigation, and then she would be the most suspicious person.
So I still have to disguise myself.
After dressing up as an ordinary palace maid and slightly changing her appearance, she took over the job of a palace maid who cleaned the Yikun Palace and entered the Yikun Palace without being suspected.
When they arrived at the main hall of Yikun Palace, Zhen Huan felt sad when she saw that the furnishings inside had not changed at all. She thought that the emperor still had Nian Shilan in his heart.
Whenever she thought of Nian Shilan's position in the emperor's heart, she wanted Nian Shilan to die even more.
While pretending to clean, Zhen Huan looked at the things in the palace. Nothing seemed to be wrong with them, but she thought that since the emperor had let Nian Shilan use contraception every day for more than ten years, that thing must have been used by Nian Shilan frequently.
But what is it?
After cleaning around, Zhen Huan's eyes suddenly fell on a shelf where many exquisite boxes were placed.
She opened a few and looked at them, then set her sights on a box of spices.
When Zhen Huan saw these spices, her heart started pounding. She didn't know why, but her intuition told her that there was something wrong with these spices.
So, after knowing that there was no one in the palace, Zhen Huan took some spices, put them in a handkerchief, and took them out of Yikun Palace.
Back at Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan looked at the spices and called Liu Zhu over.
"Liu Zhu, I'll go prepare some things, and then you go out of the palace and go to the palace where Doctor Wen is. Let him check these spices and see what's inside."
Zhen Huan thought about it and realized that she was not familiar with any of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau. If she asked them to investigate rashly, she was not sure whether they could keep the secret.
They will most likely tell the Emperor.
On the other hand, there is really something wrong with this spice. Nian Shilan has been using this spice for so many years, but no one in the Imperial Hospital has discovered it. She doesn't believe that they couldn't find it, so it can only be that the Emperor controls the entire Imperial Hospital in order to prevent this matter from being exposed. In this case, she can only be more cautious.
She knew clearly what Wen Shichu felt for her, so the only person she trusted was Wen Shichu, and he would not lie to her.
This time when she asked Liu Zhu to go out, she did not ask Liu Zhu to go find Wen Shichu directly. What she told others was that she missed her parents and asked Liu Zhu to go and see them, and then she went to find Wen Shichu secretly.
After Liu Zhu left, Zhen Huan waited for many days before she came.
When Liu Zhu came back, she brought the news that Zhen Huan wanted. It turned out that there was really something wrong with the Huanyi incense. A large amount of musk was added to it. How could there be no problem with long-term use?
Now that we know the desired result, the next step is to send Nian Shilan off.
She felt very happy when she thought about how Concubine Hua, who was once high and mighty, had now fallen to the point of being sent to the cold palace.
She didn’t know how Nian Shilan was doing now, and she really wanted to take a look.
She did what she said. Zhen Huan dressed up formally that day and went to the cold palace.
An Lingrong, who had been keeping an eye on Zhen Huan's whereabouts, soon learned the news. She thought of the original plot, in which Zhen Huan provoked Nian Shilan and then left the cold palace safely.
There was no such good thing this time.
Since you dare to take the risk, I believe you can accept any price.
After Zhen Huan went to the cold palace, Liu Zhu opened the door for her. Zhen Huan said, "Liu Zhu, wait at the door. I want to talk to the former Concubine Hua alone."
Liu Zhu hesitated: "My lady, let me accompany you. What if she hurts you?"
Zhen Huan still refused: "It's okay, I'm here to tell her the truth, how could she possibly hurt me, don't worry, I will be on guard against her."
Zhen Huan was very confident and she didn't believe Nian Shilan would hurt her.
Seeing Zhen Huan's eyes that did not allow for rejection, Liu Zhu did not dare to say anything more. She could only wait at the door and listen to the movements inside the house.
Nian Shilan was originally sitting numbly in a chair, spending the day as usual, but she didn't expect someone to come to the cold palace today.
As the door opened, sunlight shone in. The sunlight was so strong that it stung her eyes and she couldn't open them for a moment. But the sunlight only shone on her briefly, and as the door was closed, the room was not so dazzling anymore.
After seeing the person coming, Nian Shilan's face turned cold: "Zhen Huan, what are you doing here? I don't want to see you, get out."
Zhen Huan took a few steps forward slowly: "Empress Hua, don't worry, I will leave naturally after I finish talking to you."
The title of "Empress Hua" was extremely harsh to Nian Shilan's ears. She just felt that Zhen Huan was mocking her.
"What do you want to say? What can we talk about?"
