When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

The Fourth Prince was a little at a loss. He opened his mouth but no word came out.

No one knew how fast his mind was working at this moment.

Sweat was already oozing out of his back as he wondered how to refuse gracefully without involving Nian Shilan.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, Nian Shilan was already a little annoyed.

She knew that if she didn't say it now, she could wait, but Yinzhen couldn't.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is young and ignorant, how can he understand these things? Marriage has always been decided by the elders. Although Yixiu's behavior today was absurd, I, Qingying, also know that if it comes to being a concubine, she is an excellent candidate."

Nian Shilan smiled gently, but no emotion could be seen in her eyes.

Yinzhen just looked at the two of them without saying anything.

Like a tiger staring into the abyss, both are trying to figure out the other's transformations.

Nian Shilan continued, "This child must be so happy about this great thing that he doesn't even know how to speak. Since your royal father has spoken, why don't you thank him?"

The Fourth Prince bit his lip and knelt down, "Thank you, Father Your Majesty, but Father Your Majesty, I am still young and it is too early for me to start a family. I would like to learn and gain experience for a few more years..."

Nian Shilan tightened her fingers and pinched her sleeves.

"As a prince, you must consider the overall situation. How can you make decisions on your own?" Nian Shilan spoke coldly, without any emotion in his words.

She was disgusted, irritated, and even hateful.

She had worked so hard to build this for so long, and now it was going to fail because of a little brat's willful behavior.

Who cares? She will really kill the Fourth Prince!

Hearing such an indifferent voice, the Fourth Prince's heart sank. He bit his lip and stopped talking.

Nian Shilan continued, "Some time ago, I was also looking for a wife for the Fourth Prince. Your Majesty, do you think the daughter of the Fucha family is good? Fucha Rongyin is said to be a very gentle daughter, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a top-notch person. It would be a great choice for her to marry the Fourth Prince as his wife. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen's frowning brows finally moved and his eyes softened a little.

Since Nian Shilan started looking for a wife for the Fourth Prince so long ago, it at least proves that their relationship is not so unclear.

He looked at Nian Shilan, his lips moving slightly, "Since you said so, why would I object?"

"This is great, Hongli, why don't you thank your Royal Father?"

The Fourth Prince closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Father. I will take good care of Rongyin and treat Qingying well. I will not let Father and Mother worry."

Seeing him finally kneeling down to express his gratitude, Nian Shilan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put on a smile and said to Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, I am truly delighted by this great event. Why don't you let me take care of the Fourth Prince's marriage?"

Yinzhen nodded, "You are his mother, so it is best for you to do this."

After saying this, Yinzhen clapped his hands and stood up.

"I have summoned Zhang Tingyu to the Shangshufang for ceremonial matters. You all should also retire."

Then he walked straight out.

Nian Shilan and the Fourth Prince immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

"Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

Exited the Yangxin Hall.

Yinzhen's demeanor immediately changed, his face becoming gloomy and dark.

He ordered Su Peisheng, "Pass the blood dropper."

Su Peisheng nodded immediately, "Yes!"

……

Yikun Palace.

The Fourth Prince followed Nian Shilan, whose face was gloomy, back to the palace.

On the way, Nian Shilan sat on a sedan chair with a face as bad as if he wanted to kill someone, not to mention his gaze that was as cold as a pond. If anyone accidentally looked into his eyes, their legs would go weak.

Back in the hall, just as Nian Shilan stepped in, she raised her hand, and Songzhi immediately stopped and stood outside the door.

Fu Dong didn't understand and was about to follow in, but fortunately Song Zhi was quick to grab her.

"What's wrong? If neither you nor I go in, who will serve the queen in there?"

Fu Dong lowered his voice and said.

Songzhi made a gesture to keep quiet.

I was muttering to myself, I'm still serving, if I go to jail, I might be implicated and punished together.

The door was shut heavily, and Songzhi dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs who were supposed to guard the door.

The Fourth Prince followed him in with his head down, and as soon as he entered the door, he was about to say something.

With the speed of wind, a slap landed accurately on the side of his face.

He gritted his teeth and said nothing, and just took the slap in the face.

Endless rage burst out from Nian Shilan's eyes, which could not be extinguished.

She just watched this 'child' who was growing up and was already a head taller than her.

"Did you write those things?"

"Yes!"

The Fourth Prince did not intend to hide it, he admitted it.

Soon, another slap landed on his face.

Nian Shilan's chest rose and fell with anger, she was so disappointed that she said, "I'll ask you again, did you write those things?"

The Fourth Prince was silent. He suddenly raised his face and looked straight at Nian Shilan with his stubborn starry eyes.

The two slaps had messed up his black hair a little, and it fell on his shoulders, making him look a little unruly. His eyes were deep, and his thin lips moved slightly under his high nose bridge.

"Yes!"

"You!" Nian Shilan was completely furious and grabbed his collar.

Although she was half a head shorter, the Fourth Prince trained all day and was in good health with strong muscles. She looked petite and slim in contrast.

But at this moment, she was still as powerful as ever.

"Do you know that you almost ruined me and yourself?"

Unconsciously, during the confrontation, the two of them became closer.

The two pairs of eyes stared at each other, neither side showing any signs of weakness.

The Fourth Prince curled his thin lips and laughed arrogantly. He stretched out his big hand and carefully rubbed Nian Shilan's cheek.

"I know. Today I wanted to understand myself and protect you."

He was telling the truth. He made up his mind when he saw the "Zizhi Tongjian".

If today's result was not like this, he would never put Nian Shilan in a dilemma.

But when Nian Shilan heard what he said, she laughed sarcastically.

She pulled his collar tighter and said through gritted teeth, "Do you think that if you die, you can protect me?"

After she finished speaking, she exerted force with her hands and pushed the person out.

She stood up, and in anger, she grabbed something at hand and threw it at the Fourth Prince.

When she woke up, she found that she had grabbed a vase. At this moment, the Fourth Prince's face was scratched and blood was slowly flowing out.

Nian Shilan just looked at him coldly, and that man also looked at her calmly.

The wound on his cheek was bleeding bright red. He raised his hand to wipe it off, looking even more embarrassed.

Looking at her eyes, they became a little wet.

For some reason, Nian Shilan's anger inexplicably disappeared by half.

She turned her back and stopped looking at him.

"Remember, no matter who asks you in the future, you can't write anything in it. I will take care of this matter. You just need to wait for a month to marry your two wives."

The Fourth Prince pursed his lips and finally lowered his head.

"Yes……"

"Eniang."

Nian Shilan did not look back. She heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and then the door opened and the Fourth Prince went out.

"Ah! What should we do with Fourth Prince's face? Call the imperial physician immediately."

Fu Dong let out a low scream.

The Fourth Prince ignored her and waved his hand weakly, walking towards his own palace.

Fu Dong wanted to say something else, but Song Zhi stopped him, "Okay, send someone to visit with medicine for the wounds, and don't alarm the imperial physician."

Fu Dong nodded and went downstairs immediately.

Songzhi stood at the door and looked inside cautiously.

All one could see was Nian Shilan’s thin back, trembling slightly.

She bit her lip, her eyes were a little wet, and she felt sorry for her own mother.

If you were to ask Nian Shilan, was she afraid or not after what happened just now?

She would pretend to be calm and not say a word.

But in fact, she was very scared.

She was afraid that everything she had done would go to waste, she was afraid that her brother would never be able to make a breakthrough, she was afraid that the failure of her previous life would repeat itself, she was afraid that she would never see her family again...

He was also afraid that Hongli would completely lose the opportunity to compete for the throne after this incident.

After so many years of planning, it is impossible to say that there is no sincerity at all.

The Fourth Prince treated her extremely well. Even Concubine Duan once said, "If she were your biological mother, she would be no better than this."

But she had no extraordinary thoughts at all. She had cut off all these so-called loves long ago and only wanted revenge.

Just now, the warmth and indifference in the Fourth Prince's eyes made her unable to look directly at him.

She exhaled and almost fell, but fortunately Songzhi immediately came forward to support her.

"Your Majesty..." Songzhi's face was covered with tears without her knowing when.

Nian Shilan managed a hard smile, "Silly girl, why are you crying? We won, didn't we?"

Perhaps she herself did not even notice that her voice was trembling and the smile she forced out was uglier than crying.

"Don't cry, I..." She didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head and hugged Nian Shilan's waist, "I will stay with you forever."

Nian Shilan couldn't hold back any longer and tears burst out. She gently patted Songzhi's shoulder.

Comforting, "Don't cry, don't cry."

……

night.

For the sake of the Fourth Prince's marriage, Nian Shilan did not want to delay for a moment and immediately ordered people to prepare it.

The Yikun Palace became busy and the night, which should have been quiet, became a little noisy.

Nian Shilan was sitting in the main hall. Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing also came to help with the preparations and things needed for the wedding.

Suddenly Songzhi walked through the crowd and stood in the hall, wanting to ask quietly.

But when Nian Shilan heard her come in, she said without even raising her head.

"If you have anything to do, just tell me."

Her voice was a little hoarse and she looked very tired.

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, there is a message from the cold palace, asking Your Majesty how to deal with Concubine Yan?"

It was not her turn to deal with Yixiu, and besides, Nian Shilan had no intention of taking action against Yixiu.

For her to fall from being an extremely noble queen to being bullied by everyone was something that was more painful than death.

It’s Yan Ruofan.

Nian Shilan raised her head and thought about it carefully.

Concubine Duan naturally understood clearly what happened in the afternoon. Yan Ruofan used to live in her palace, and she did not notice Yan Ruofan's abnormality in time. She caused such a big disaster, so she naturally also had the responsibility.

At the same time, she felt a little reluctant.

"My noble concubine, Concubine Yan is young and ignorant. She must have been bewitched by Yixiu to do such a shameful thing. However, she caused Concubine to almost be suspected by the emperor, which is a big mistake. But I wonder if you can give her a way out for the sake of her honesty and her family."

Concubine Duan said.

Nian Shilan still didn't speak.

At this time, news came from outside, brought by Zhou Ninghai.

Zhou Ninghai hurriedly ran with his lame leg and knelt in front of the palace, "Your Majesty, Master Yan, and Lord Yan asked to see the emperor late at night. Now they are kneeling in the Shangshu Mansion and refuse to get up, saying that they want to..."

Nian Shilan glanced at him and said, "Go on."

"He said he was begging the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine to spare Lady Yan's life."

"What did the Emperor say?"

Zhou Ninghai added, "The emperor said, let's see what the imperial concubine thinks."

Concubine Duan stared at Nian Shilan, "Now that it has come to this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to let this person go."

If she doesn't let go, it will create a grudge that will definitely hinder her plans in the future.

Nian Shilan glanced at the people in front of him.

The Emperor thought she would let him go, and Concubine Jing also thought she would let him go.

But she is Nian Shilan.

He has always had an iron fist, an iron fist, and a heart of stone.

Let her release her enemies? Impossible.

Although letting Yan Ruofan go would not be considered as letting a tiger return to the mountains, she could not swallow this humiliation.

She has endured for so long, and now it has finally come to an end.

Nian Shilan raised her head and said just one sentence lightly.

"Ask Master Yan to bring Yan Ruofan's body back."

Then he raised his hand and waved.

Zhou Ninghai was stunned for a moment, and it took him several seconds to come back to his senses.

"Yes……"

Concubine Duan was also surprised, "What does the Imperial Concubine mean?"

"Leaving her body intact is already the greatest gift and tolerance from this palace."

……

I don’t know when the rain started falling.

Perhaps it started from the moment Yan Ruofan died.

By the time Master Yan saw his daughter's corpse, Yan Ruofan's body was already cold. The rain had washed away her blood, leaving a long trail of blood.

The concubines in the palaces did not dare to go out, as they felt the gloomy atmosphere outside was very strong.

Taifu Yan held his daughter's body and knelt in the center of the Shangshu Mansion. His haggard face was so wet that it was hard to tell whether it was tears or rain.

He just said loudly, "I thank the emperor and the imperial concubine for letting my daughter return home with her body intact!"

His son was kneeling behind him, but the rain was too heavy and the night was too dark, so no one could see their expressions clearly.

After he finished speaking, he was heard roaring loudly.

"I am old and useless, so I petition to retire and return home! I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish!"

Not until he finished speaking did there finally come some movement in the Shangshu Mansion.

It was Su Peisheng, who rushed out holding an umbrella, "Master Yan, please get up quickly. It's raining so hard, what will happen if you get hurt? Please get up quickly."

Master Yan did not stand up, but turned his head stiffly and looked at Su Peisheng.

"Eunuch Su, what did the emperor order?"

Su Peisheng sighed, "Your Majesty, it's approved!"

Hearing this, Master Yan closed his eyes, exhaled, and then knelt down again.

"Thank you! Your Majesty, please grant me your blessing!"
