I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 370 An Lingrong 26

At this point, Yixiu was completely out of ideas and ended up drinking the poisoned wine.

Yixiu was no longer the queen, but a commoner. After her death, she naturally could not be buried in the concubine's tomb, but was just buried somewhere randomly.

The emperor has not forgotten that it was Concubine Hua who caused this incident, and that she has done so many wrong things. Now that Nian Gengyao is dead, it is time for Concubine Hua to be held accountable.

The emperor was still a little angry, so this time he did not just demote her to a concubine as in the original plot, but continued to let her live in the Yiku Palace.

Instead, he directly banished her to the cold palace. After all, they had many years of affection for each other, so the emperor did not kill her.

After dealing with the affairs of Ulanara Yixiu and Nian Shilan, the emperor always felt that he had forgotten something, but he never remembered it.

"Su Peisheng, I always feel like I forgot something."

Su Peisheng saw that the emperor had been busy dealing with things these days, so he didn't say much. But now that the emperor asked, Su Peisheng said, "Your Majesty, Wan Changzai is still locked up in the Bitong Academy in the Old Summer Palace and has not returned yet."

After hearing what Su Peisheng said, the emperor also remembered. He did not feel embarrassed at all. He just nodded lightly, and then sent someone to go to the Old Summer Palace to bring Zhen Huan back.

At that time, in order to deal with Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao, he took the others back to the palace first. In order not to arouse Concubine Hua's suspicion, he left Zhen Huan in the Old Summer Palace. When the emperor thought that Zhen Huan was still imprisoned, he sighed in his heart, thinking that she was really wronged.

With the emperor's order, Su Peisheng did not delay and asked his apprentice Xiao Xiazi to take people to the Old Summer Palace.

At this time, in the Old Summer Palace.

Zhen Huan sat in the yard as before, looking at the closed door. She was very worried that this time she would not succeed. But then she thought that she and the emperor had discussed the plan perfectly, so nothing should go wrong.

But she has been waiting for such a long time, why is there no news yet, why hasn't she been taken back yet?

Zhen Huan was waiting anxiously.

She thought that no one would come to pick her up that day, but unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened in front of her.

When Zhen Huan heard the voice, she immediately stood up, holding Liu Zhu's hand and walked a few steps quickly. When she saw the person coming, she said in surprise: "Xiao Xiazi? Why are you here? Is the matter settled? Is the emperor okay?"

After Xiao Xiazi bowed, he said, "Don't worry, Concubine Wan, everything is fine. The emperor has already dealt with the matter and asked me to take you back."

Zhen Huan cried with joy: "That's good, that's good."

At that moment, Zhen Huan did not delay and followed Xiao Xiazi back after packing her things.

On the way back, Zhen Huan asked Xiao Xiazi if anything happened when she was not in the palace. She could only think that something might happen to Concubine Hua, but she didn't expect that something would happen to the Queen as well.

The queen is truly a vicious woman. She has harmed so many people and deserves this fate.

She had been in the palace for so long but had never gotten pregnant. She didn't think it was her problem. She thought it must be because of the quilt with musk that the queen gave her that she hadn't gotten pregnant yet.

She was originally thinking about how to take revenge on the queen, but she didn't expect that the queen would get into trouble first.

Zhen Huan was still somewhat dissatisfied with the way these two people were dealt with. The Queen was dead, but why was Nian Shilan only sent to the cold palace after doing so many wrong things? Why didn't the Emperor execute her?

When she thought of all the troubles Concubine Hua had caused her in the past, how she had often gone against her, as well as Sister Mei's fake pregnancy and her death, she didn't believe that all this had nothing to do with Concubine Hua.

She was unwilling to accept this. Whether for herself or for her sister Mei, she would let Nian Shilan die.

Otherwise, she will eventually turn things around.

After returning to the palace, Zhen Huan understood the priorities of the matter, so she did not mention Nian Shilan's matter, but instead shared her heart with the emperor.

The Emperor still felt somewhat guilty towards Zhen Huan, as he had indeed treated her very unfairly some time ago.

So in order to compensate Zhen Huan, he not only promoted her to a noble lady, but also doted on her very much.

An Lingrong watched coldly as Zhen Huan gained the emperor's favor and gradually began to become arrogant.

Sometimes, when he saw her, he would rely on the fact that he had helped her in the past to be polite and act as if he wanted to be intimate with her. An Lingrong politely declined and did not give her any face at all.

So what if she is favored? Could it be that she is afraid of her?

An Lingrong had no intention of suppressing her. The more favored she was, the better. The more favored she was, the more arrogant she would become, and the less tactful she would be in doing things.

The easier it is to make mistakes.

Sure enough, after being quiet for a while, Zhen Huan began to think of ways to take action against Nian Shilan. At first, she did not plan to do it herself, but wanted someone else to do it.

This person is Cao Qinmo, who used to be with Nian Shilan. Because of her meritorious service in exposing the truth, she has now been promoted by the emperor and given a title, Xiang.

Zhen Huan was very good at persuading people, and Cao Qinmo became so proud of herself after becoming Concubine Xiang that she forgot herself of everything else. Without thinking too much, she followed Zhen Huan's suggestion and went before the Emperor to suggest the execution of Nian Shilan.

Cao Qinmo's revelation not only failed to lead the emperor to execute Nian Shilan, but instead made the emperor see her disloyalty and cruelty, and murderous intent flashed in the emperor's eyes.

The emperor knew very well that Cao Qinmo was someone close to Shilan before, and he knew Shilan's character very well. She definitely couldn't think of so many vicious plans, and Cao Qinmo was very smart, so those plans must have been thought up by Cao Qinmo.

Cao Qinmo came up with ideas and advice behind Se-lan's back. Because of her meritorious service in exposing the truth and the years of grievance she had suffered by Se-lan's side, he spared her life and promoted her to the position of concubine.

I didn't expect that she would be so greedy, betray her old master, and want to kill her all. Cao Qinmo can't be kept.

Zhen Huan was still waiting for good news from Cao Qinmo, but she didn't expect to hear the news that Cao Qinmo was ill.

This incident happened too suddenly, and Zhen Huan quickly understood it after thinking about it.

She knew that Cao Qinmo failed to persuade the emperor and ended up getting herself involved.

She didn't care whether Cao Qinmo was dead or alive.

But what mattered to her was that through this incident, she also saw clearly that the emperor still had feelings for Nian Shilan and was reluctant to let her die.

She will be uneasy as long as Nian Shilan is alive, but what should she do next?

For a moment, she couldn't think of any good solution.

Just then, Concubine Duan came to see her and talked about her past in the palace. It turned out that Concubine Duan was in poor health because of Nian Shilan, and it was Nian Shilan who harmed Concubine Duan.

Zhen Huan did not believe everything that Concubine Duan said, but she thought that there must be some truth in what Concubine Duan said. Given Nian Shilan's personality, it was very possible that she had harmed Concubine Duan like this.
