Chapter 160 An Lingrong 08
When Pang Ju was deciding whether Concubine Duan and Concubine Xiang should stay or go, an anonymous letter appeared in Yiku Palace.
"My Lady, there's another letter!"
"bring here."
Nian Shilan supported her sick body and sat up to open the envelope. This time it was not a letter, but a painting, two portraits that were extremely similar!
Nian Shilan didn't recognize the one on the top, but she felt it looked familiar for some reason. Soon, the line of small characters on the lower left answered her question - Queen Chunyuan, whose nickname was Wanwan.
Nian Shilan's heart moved, and she immediately went to look at the next one!
Sure enough, the painting was exactly that bitch Zhen Huan! Similar eyebrows and eyes, Wanpin, Wanwan, great! No wonder! No wonder the emperor doted on her so much!
So that's how it is, Wanwan Leiqing, ha! Zhen Huan, you are nothing but a joke!
"Go, call Concubine Wan to me!"
"Yes."
Although Nian Gengyao had been imprisoned and would be executed the next day, Cao Qinmo was concerned that Wen Yi's imperial certificate had been transferred to Nian Shilan's name, so she did not dare to act rashly before Nian Gengyao was beheaded. Therefore, Nian Shilan was still the imperial concubine at this time.
Since the imperial concubine invited her, Wanpin had to go.
"My queen, be careful of the cornered creature." Cui Jinxi held Zhen Huan and shook her head gently.
Zhen Huan lifted her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, she won't dare."
Cui Jinxi felt inexplicably uneasy, and this uneasiness was confirmed by a scream half an hour later!
"what!!!"
"what sound?"
"Ah, Your Majesty, it seems to have come from the Yikun Palace."
Fat Ju frowned. What happened to Shilan in Yikun Palace?
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Nian Shilan summoned Zhen Huan to meet her at Yiku Palace at night. After asking her about Huanyixiang and pregnancy-protecting medicine, she asked Zhou Ninghai and others to restrain Zhen Huan and scratch her face with their own hands.
"Nian Shilan, you're crazy!"
"Hahahaha, yes, I'm crazy. I'm not having a good life, and no one in this palace can have an easy life!"
Nian Shilan was described as crazy, and looked like a sexy ghost in the candlelight.
"Shilan, you are so outrageous!"
The gate of Yikun Palace was smashed open, and Zhen Huan screamed and cried, "Silang, Silang! The imperial concubine has gone crazy!"
"Hanhuan? Ah! Wanpin, your face!"
"Ah! Don't look, Shiro, don't look!"
Nian Shilan watched the two perform, feeling pleased: "Zhen Huan, don't you look down on me for using my beauty to seduce others? Then I want to see, without that face that resembles Queen Chunyuan, will the emperor still look at you!"
"Shilan, why did you hurt Concubine Wan?" Chunyuan's face was ruined, and Pangju was very upset. The guilt and remorse he had before coming to Yiku Palace were almost wiped out by this upset.
Nian Shilan was unafraid. She threw away the bloody dagger and asked sadly, "Your Majesty, how did our child die? Was it that bitch Qi Yuebin? Or was it his father who didn't want him?"
Fat Orange's arms around Zhen Huan stiffened for a moment, but soon relaxed again. "Shilan, you and I have been married for many years, and you don't believe me?"
"I lost my child and my brother, yet that bitch Qi Yuebin is still sitting on the throne of a concubine," Nian Shilan wept bitterly, each word she spoke. Finally, she pushed over the burning Huanyi incense burner in front of her. "Huanyi incense contains musk. Your Majesty, how can I still trust you?"
"Shilan, you know your second brother's temper. The Empress Dowager said that if you had a son, Nian Gengyao would be afraid..." Fat Orange sighed, as if hiding a great helplessness. "But Shilan, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Although I gave you this Huanyixiang out of concern for the Empress Dowager, that bowl of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine is really not mine..."
Looking at the emperor's hypocritical face, Nian Shilan felt disgusted. Over the years, all her sincerity had been wasted!
But unfortunately, she couldn't avenge herself.
Although the emperor had issued an order to punish her second brother's family, Nian Xialing and Nian Xiyao's family were still there. She couldn't let her father and eldest brother be implicated for the sake of a momentary pleasure...
That winter, Concubine Duan died suddenly, and her funeral was extremely simple.
Also in the winter of that year, Concubine Xiang Cao died under unclear circumstances and quietly.
Nian Shilan fell seriously ill, but managed to survive the harsh winter. However, the favored concubine Zhen Huan unexpectedly fell from favor.
Nian Shilan survived the blooming of peonies the following year, and after Wanpin fell out of favor, she delivered the secret of Wanwan Leiqing to her.
After Zhen Huan found out, she had a big fight with Pang Ju. Finally, after Guwaljia Emin accused Zhen Yuandao of secretly keeping a collection of poems by a traitor, she asked to leave the palace to practice.
After Nian Shilan's death, her daughter, Wen Yi, was taken to Shoukang Palace by the Empress Dowager for upbringing. An Lingrong, who was always filial to the Empress Dowager, naturally understood her intentions: with the Empress deposed, and with no suitable women of the Ulanara or Uya clans, and the Emperor without a suitable son, the Empress Dowager set her sights on the princess. Princess Wen Yi inherited the honor the Empress Dowager had bequeathed to the Uya clan.
In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, because a high position in the palace was vacant, the empress dowager proposed to confer titles on the six palaces. An Lingrong was therefore conferred the title of concubine and, with the empress dowager's decree, moved to Changchun Palace in the western six palaces.
In addition to conferring titles on the six palaces, the empress dowager also wanted to hold another beauty pageant. After all, the loss of concubines in the harem was too high after the emperor ascended the throne: the empress was deposed, the three concubines Hua, Duan and Qi died, Concubine Li was imprisoned in the cold palace to accompany Xia Dongchun, Concubine Chun was drowned in the lake, Cao Qinmo was poisoned to death by Pang Ju, and Yu Ying'er was also given the death penalty.
The only people still alive in the palace are Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao, Concubine Qian An Lingrong, Concubine Zhen Borjigit, Concubine Qi Gualiu, Concubine Xin Lu Yingfeng, and Concubine Li Li Ying.
But the national treasury was really empty. Without Nian Shilan as his money bag, Pangju could not afford to hold a beauty contest even if he swelled his face. So he just asked the Queen Mother to pick a few fertile and fertile palace maids from this year's selection, taught them the rules, and then made them promises to enter the harem.
Because the emperor only had half a son (medicine jar Hong Zhou) who could carry on the family line, the empress dowager severely criticized the concubines in the harem, "I cannot tolerate dirty things. You can compete for favor, but anyone who dares to lay a hand on the emperor's heir will be killed without mercy!"
After the warning, he gave her a sweet treat: below the rank of noble lady, if she could give birth to a princess, she would be promoted to noble lady, and if she gave birth to an imperial heir, she would be promoted to concubine as an exception.
If a noble lady or above gives birth to a child, whether it is a prince or princess, she will be promoted one level.
With such a golden carrot hanging in front of everyone, the concubines in the palace, both old and new, have been vying for favor in various ways recently, and the smell of pregnancy medicine is everywhere in the palace.
Within three months, the palace was filled with good news: Concubine Qian was pregnant, Concubine Ji was pregnant (Fucha), Concubine Li was pregnant, Concubine Sun was pregnant, Concubine Xu was pregnant, Concubine Kang was pregnant...
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were overjoyed, while the deposed Empress Yixiu gritted her teeth in hatred. Having her pawns pulled out, Yixiu was so unwilling that she even imitated Yu Ying'er and made vampires in the palace!
And this trick seemed to be really effective. After only half a month of Yixiu's acupuncture, pregnant women in the palace had miscarriages one after another.
Fat Ju was furious, but even when he sent out the Blood Dropper to investigate, the results were all unexpected. For a while, rumors began to spread outside the court: the emperor came to the throne illegitimately and was not blessed by God, so the dragon fetus was not safe.
When Fat Orange was exhausted by the concubine's miscarriage and the rumors from outside the court, the deposed queen of Jingren Palace wore a cross on her neck and held a bunch of witchcraft dolls in her arms. She worshipped the Three Pure Ones, the Goddess of Childbirth, Jesus and other Eastern and Western gods in the small Buddhist temple. "Thank you for the Buddha's blessing, thank you for the Buddha's blessing! I am willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life. I pray that Aixinjueluo Yinzhen will have sons who die young and daughters who die early, and that his descendants will be cut off from generation to generation. Amen!"
"boom--"
The door of the small Buddhist hall was suddenly kicked open, and Yixiu's heart stopped. The eighteen pieces of fat orange Changpan were squeezed by him, and the sound made Yixiu feel relieved. She put down the pile of witchcraft dolls that were tied into hedgehogs, looked back calmly, and when she saw the familiar face in the dark, Yixiu smiled.
"It's Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty say that we would never see each other again, even in this life or death? Why did you break your promise? Oh, I forgot, Your Majesty broke his promise more than once or twice, and now..."
"How dare you! You vicious woman, you have a heart of a snake and a scorpion!"
