Chapter 467: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 71
Now the news that Concubine Qi poisoned the Fourth Prince and then committed suicide to confess her guilt has spread throughout the harem. The Emperor was particularly dissatisfied when he looked at the imperial edict to depose the Queen which had just been drafted.
"Your Majesty, this imperial edict...?"
Concubine Qi is already dead, and there is no witness to prove that the Empress was involved in the poisoning of the Fourth Prince. The matter of the secret musk medicine concerns the Emperor's health and cannot be leaked. Even if it is clear that the Empress is related to this matter, once Concubine Qi is dead, the Emperor's edict to depose the Empress becomes a "false charge" against the Empress, and all the civil and military officials in the court will never agree to it when they learn about it.
Fortunately, the emperor had not yet made a conclusion on the matter of Zhen Huan's miscarriage in Jingren Palace. Therefore, the emperor issued an edict, saying that the queen was unkind and had wantonly killed concubines and the emperor's children. He took the queen's seal and handed it to Nian Shilan, and left an oral order to confine the queen to Jingren Palace, and to ensure that they would not meet again until death.
The Queen successfully achieved the ending of "life or death will not disappoint each other" in advance, but the concubines in the harem were not satisfied with this ending when they learned about it. Concubine Qi was dead, and the Third Prince became the Queen's adopted son. Now the Emperor has no children, only the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince.
The emperor once personally commented in front of the ministers that the fifth prince had a bad temper and was not fit for important tasks, so the fifth prince was excluded from the throne early on, leaving only the third prince.
The third prince is the eldest son and the adopted son of the queen. After the emperor passes away, the third prince will ascend the throne and will definitely confer the title of queen mother to the queen dowager. By then, how can everyone’s revenge be avenged?
For Zhen Huan, the Queen had killed her two children, and she didn't want to see the Queen become the Queen Mother. She wanted the Queen to die.
For Nian Shilan, as long as the queen is alive, she will never become the queen. Without the title of queen, how can she "legitimately" interfere in state affairs? You must know that the queen who helps the emperor handle state affairs is a virtuous queen, and the imperial concubine who helps the emperor handle state affairs is a evil concubine who is like a hen crowing at dawn.
However, Nian Shilan did not intend to take the Queen's life by herself. The Emperor had now confirmed that the secret medicine in his body was related to the Queen. In order to get the formula and antidote of the secret medicine from the Queen, the Emperor confined the Queen and sent people to monitor Jingren Palace to protect the Queen.
Without the Empress Dowager's cleanup, the Blood-Guillotines played their role to the utmost. All the things that the Empress had done to the concubines in the harem and even in her secret residence over the years were discovered one by one by the Emperor's people.
The Queen's crimes are too numerous to list. Even if the Emperor believes in the illusion of harmony among his wives and concubines, he knows that once the things the Queen has done are exposed, no one in the entire harem will want the Queen to be alive, and no one will want the Queen to remain the Queen.
Shen Meizhuang didn't expect that even at this point, the emperor still didn't depose the queen. She felt very desperate. As the emperor investigated, the musk jars in every concubine's palace were dug out, even the Sui Yuxuan where Chun Changzai, who had not yet served the emperor, was located, was no exception.
Most people in the palace said that the concubines had lost their fertility because of the musk buried by the queen. Even though the situation was so serious, the emperor still retained the queen's position. It has to be said that this was really a big misunderstanding.
The Emperor wanted to retain the Empress's position as Queen, more so because he wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to get the antidote from the Empress, but unfortunately the Emperor's calculations were wrong from the beginning.
In March of the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor issued an edict to hold a beauty contest. Everyone knew that the emperor saw that no one else was able to have children, so he wanted a new person to enter the palace and give birth to a son for him.
However, in this situation, no one is willing to compete for favor. Zhen Huan has long been extremely disgusted with the emperor because of the previous incident. She was willing to endure the disgust and flatter him in order to save her father Zhen Yuandao. She wanted to wait until she became pregnant again to plead for her father, but she didn't expect that after learning that although she could still get pregnant, it would still be difficult, the emperor would no longer come.
It’s no wonder that the emperor didn’t come. In order to prevent the throne from falling into the hands of the Third Prince, he is now actively planning to find a new person to enter the palace and give birth to a child.
Under the influence of the secret medicine, and the fact that the emperor is approaching the age of knowing the destiny, he is beginning to lose the ability to perform sexual tasks. In order to conserve his energy, he naturally has to place all his hopes on a new person. As for a favorite concubine like Zhen Huan, it is good enough that the emperor can come and see her when he remembers.
The emperor was unable to cope with the situation and stopped entering the harem for the sake of health. Instead, Prince Guo took this opportunity to stay overnight in Yikun Palace frequently. After the passion of that day, Prince Guo hugged Nian Shilan reluctantly and kissed her gently.
"Why don't you leave?"
Nian Shilan felt disgusted by his clingy nature and turned her head away.
Prince Guo was hurt by Nian Shilan's attitude, so he pinched Nian Shilan's chin deliberately and kissed her hard. As soon as he kissed her, without waiting for Nian Shilan to resist, Prince Guo softened his movements and became gentler.
Oh, what a loss.
Prince Guo was absolutely reluctant to let Nian Shilan feel any discomfort. He clearly wanted to punish the other party for being ruthless, but when the time came, he would be the one who had to go easy on himself.
"Why did Se-ran insist on asking me to leave? Was Se-ran feeling unwell just now?"
"My brother is old, how can he compare to me in making Shilan happy?"
......
At this moment, Nian Shilan felt speechless, as if a group of alpacas were galloping past her. She was extremely speechless.
When did the romantic, passionate yet loyal Prince Guo in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" become the green tea girl who can say all kinds of lewd words?
You can't be the one who forces people into this state.
Nian Shilan thought somewhat irresponsibly, but asked about sending Concubine Ying to the beauty pageant.
"Okay, okay, shut up."
"If you keep talking, will I really kick you out?"
"Have you prepared the person I mentioned earlier? The emperor is going to select a concubine again. Send the person directly to the concubines, so you don't have to think of a reasonable way to send someone to the emperor."
"I'm ready, don't worry, Se-ran."
Although Prince Guo was dissatisfied with Nian Shilan mentioning other people every time, he was mostly happy. After all, Nian Shilan intended to give a woman to the emperor, which also showed that she had no feelings for the emperor.
No matter how many times he confirmed it, every time, Prince Guo was satisfied. Nian Shilan did not love the emperor, and there was no one else in her heart. Although she did not love him either, in the eyes of Prince Guo, Nian Shilan's attitude towards him was much better than that towards the emperor.
The emperor would occasionally think of his good brother, Prince Guo. When he didn't want to go out to have fun with the women in the harem, he would have a "heart-to-heart talk" with Prince Guo, during which he naturally mentioned the concubines in the harem. Prince Guo had heard the emperor complain that the Imperial Noble Consort was too cold and made him feel powerless.
Thinking of this, Prince Guo felt happy again. Although he had experienced the coldness that the emperor mentioned, it was much better than what the emperor described. At least he provoked Shilan, and although Shilan was angry, she never ignored him.
Through the comparison, Prince Guo felt happy again. Nian Shilan looked at Prince Guo, whose expression was changeable and who suddenly got angry and suddenly became happy for unknown reasons. She felt that she had been wrong in thinking that this person would become an obstacle to her plan.
A love brain is indeed a love brain. The thought process of a love brain is something that people like me can never understand. Anyway, it is beneficial to me, so just treat him as a good love brain.
