Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanruo's eyes lit up.

Won't all the money awarded as a reward go into your own pocket?

But in the blink of an eye, he saw Nian Shilan's empty eyes, as if something had drained away her mind.

[My girl is so miserable, being schemed against by the one she loves, woooooooooo~ come to my arms quickly. ]

Nian Shilan looked at Lin Yuanruo weakly.

As night fell, Nian Shilan leaned on the bed, and Su Peisheng shouted outside the door: "The emperor has arrived!"

But after shouting several times, there was still no sign of anyone.

Lin Yuanruo hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to greet you. My queen is feeling a little unwell today and has gone to bed."

The emperor only glanced at the inner hall and said smugly, "Since you are asleep, I will go see Concubine Qi and the Third Prince."

After he finished speaking, there was still no movement in the hall.

The emperor's body trembled slightly twice as he turned, and he lowered his head to look at Lin Yuanruo: "What happened to your queen today? Did you ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

"Reporting to the emperor, my queen was just a little tired, so she went to rest early, and asked the kitchen to prepare food early in the morning. If the emperor stays in the Yikun Palace for dinner, I will ask the kitchen to prepare it."

The emperor's face darkened.

Was he being disliked? He pretended to be calm and sat on the couch: "Since your queen is not feeling well, I will stay and accompany her."

The voice was very high, as if he was saying something on purpose.

Only Nian Shilan remained motionless in the inner hall and did not appear.

[You big pig's hoof, you dare to tease my girl? You're dreaming! ]

Lin Yuanruo also stood aside, watching nothing.

The emperor had never had a concubine ignore him before, and he began to panic, muttering to himself: "Today I heard from the Empress Dowager that you want to raise the princess?"

"I think you have a good relationship with Concubine Cao. Why don't you let Concubine Cao bring Princess Wen Yi to you from time to time to keep you company? This will save you the trouble of raising her. What do you think?"

[Big Fat Orange, you are really cunning! If you don't want my daughter to raise the princess, just say so. ]

At this moment, Nian Shilan heard the noise and slowly opened the curtain in her dark red nightgown: "Does the emperor mean that he does not want me to raise the princess?"

"Look at you! You are still so petty. I am just worried about you!"

"You have never been a mother, so how can you understand the hardship of raising a child?"

[You scumbag! It was you who did it, but you blame me? You are shameless!]

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor with bloodshot eyes.

There was a flash of disappointment in her eyes. Her man had always been plotting against her. Even now, all he cared about was profit.

"emperor!"

Nian Shilan suppressed her nausea, took the emperor's arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder: "Your Majesty, I am also a concubine now, and I don't have any children."

"If this gets out, I'm afraid my mother's family will be ridiculed and despised."

"My brother has been writing to me these past two days asking about my health."

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's face instantly became meaningful.

"Are you saying that it was Nian Gengyao who made you do this?"

[My girl, if you don’t know how to speak, don’t speak. Isn’t this going to make people misunderstand Nian Gengyao? ]

Seeing this, Nian Shilan immediately waved her hand and said, "That's not the case. How could my brother know about the affairs of the harem? I just feel lonely."

"Now, the emperor has so many sisters in his harem, I'm afraid he won't be able to remember Shilan for a while."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Lin Yuanruo got goose bumps all over his body.

This was the first time that Lin Yuanruo saw such a coquettish and cute expression.

Come to think of it, he was the man she loved the most.

The emperor waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, it's not common for a princess to be raised outside the palace. Since you are willing to raise her, then you can arrange for someone to bring the princess back."

"But I'm afraid there's no room left in your Yikun Palace, right? Now the East and West Side Palaces are occupied by Concubine Shen and Concubine An. Why not let Concubine Shen move in and live with Concubine Wan?"

[Oh my, you're here to plead for Zhen Huan? Bah! You're so shameless!]

Nian Shilan turned away pretending to be angry.

She crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Your Majesty, why did you mention this again?"

"Do you still think that it was I who didn't allow them to live together? It was Concubine Shen who didn't want to live with Concubine Wan. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to the side hall and ask Concubine Shen."

The emperor didn't dare to continue asking questions.

She could only wave her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. You can arrange the affairs of the harem by yourselves. Just one thing! You must respect the queen!"

"I have great respect for the Queen."

"If I hadn't been confined to the palace these days, I would have come every day to greet you as promised."

The emperor put his hand on Nian Shilan's shoulder, but vaguely saw Nian Shilan's shoulders tremble slightly twice.

That look of disgust.

[My girlfriend has a hard time, she has to act according to the situation. ]

For some unknown reason, Nian Shilan suddenly turned around and looked at the emperor with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask..."

"You and I have been married for many years, so feel free to talk about anything."

There was a gleam in Nian Shilan's eyes, as if she was expecting something.

It seemed as if he had already made up his mind.

As long as you are willing to be sincere, she will pretend that nothing happened.

"Why give that bitch the position of concubine?"

The emperor frowned, "Shilan! There is no evidence for Concubine Duan's case. She has been with me for many years. Now she is not feeling well. What can I do if I give her a concubine position so that she can enjoy her old age?"

Nian Shilan clenched her fists tightly.

Isn't this just slapping yourself in the face?

Her tone was also a little impatient: "Your Majesty! How could there be no evidence? If it wasn't for her bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, how could my child be gone just like that?"

"That's her! Your Majesty, that's our child..."

There was obvious impatience on the emperor's face.

He placed his hands on his knees and rubbed them back and forth twice.

She swung the beads in her hand and said, "Hua Fei!"

"My concubine has lost her manners!"

The emperor glared at her viciously out of the corner of his eye: "Good to know! Since you are not feeling well today, I will go to An Changzai's room."

Before Nian Shilan could react, the emperor had already stood up and left.

He didn't even offer any comfort.

Nian Shilan closed her eyes slightly, and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eyes.

Before the tears could fall to the corners of her lips, Nian Shilan wiped them away with her hands: "Yuan Ruo, do you think the emperor will know about this?"

There were tears still glistening in his eyes.

[Silly girl, this is what he did himself, how could he not know? ]

"My queen, it's over. We still have to look forward, if not for ourselves, then for the Nian family."
