The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

On the way back from paying her respects, Concubine Qi met Nian Da Ying in her sedan chair.

Concubine Qi was concerned about the low rank of the young lady and did not pay her any respects.

"You are no longer the former Hua Fei, but just a small concubine. You actually didn't even bow to me. Be careful or I will tell the Empress and Wanpin."

"What about the Queen? What about Concubine Wan? Aren't they all defeated by me in the past? You relied on your family's merits to enter the palace. What's the difference between you and me? I'm afraid you will end up like me."

Nian Shilan told Concubine Qi word by word with sarcasm.

"You, you are talking nonsense..."

Concubine Qi couldn't argue with Nian Shilan, so she left angrily.

After returning, she cried bitterly. When the emperor went to visit Concubine Qi, he saw this scene.

The emperor was puzzled and asked Concubine Qi, "You were fine, what happened? Why are you crying so sadly?"

It would have been better if the emperor hadn't asked. As soon as the emperor asked, Concubine Qi's tears flowed like pearls from a broken string.

Concubine Qi cried and said, "I met Nian Yingda in the palace. She was not polite to me and even mocked me, saying that I entered the palace because of my family's merits and was no different from her. I am afraid that I will end up like her in the future."

"Nian has a bad temper, just ignore her." When the emperor heard that it was because of Nian Shilan, his eyes were moved.

"The emperor is partial. He doesn't care as soon as he hears that it was Nian who agreed." Concubine Qi looked like she was right and would not give in.

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter. Look at your face, it's all red from crying. Why don't you go wash it?" the emperor reminded.

Concubine Qi went there reluctantly.

The Emperor asked Su Peisheng, "Is what Noble Lady Qi just said true?"

"What Concubine Qi said is true, but Nian Da Ying also has his reasons. Today is Nian Gengyao's 37th day after his death. No wonder Nian Da Ying is in a bad mood." Su Peisheng explained to the emperor.

"Forget it, let her be. It's just a small matter!" The emperor said lightly.

That night, the emperor favored Concubine Qi.

On the second day, Concubine Xiang brought Princess Wen Yi to pay her respects to the Queen, and the Emperor also came.

The Queen mentioned what Concubine Qi and Nian had agreed upon yesterday. Judging from the Emperor's reaction, he had no intention of punishing Nian Shilan, so the Queen said nothing more.

But Xiangpin suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, Nian has repeatedly offended you. Although Your Majesty has repeatedly forgiven her, Nian still does not repent and has failed Your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

"Then tell me, what should we do with Nian Yingying?" the emperor asked Concubine Xiang.

"I think that Nian Ying should be severely punished and killed to appease the anger of the harem!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's eyes instantly turned cold.

Concubine Xiang also realized that she had spoken out of turn, but the words had already been spoken and it was too late to take them back.

The queen was also very surprised. She did not expect Xiangpin to say this directly. She knew very well that the emperor was still reluctant to let go of Nian Shilan, so even though the emperor was so partial to Nian Shilan, she did not say anything more.

"But this Xiangpin, who follows Nian Shilan, is usually very smart. Why is she so reckless today? The Emperor already has a grudge against Xiangpin for accusing Nian Shilan, and now that she says this..."

The queen smiled helplessly. This was even better. She didn't have to do anything. The emperor had already developed a dislike for Concubine Xiang and she would no longer pose a threat to her.

Originally, she was worried about the loss of Nian Shilan. Qin Mo was quite scheming and difficult to deal with. She was not as stupid as Nian Shilan in the past.

Now there is nothing to worry about.

Sure enough, the emperor remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin looked at each other without saying a word.

They all understood clearly that the emperor had always been partial to Nian Shilan, and even if she committed a big mistake, the emperor would never punish her severely.

Over the years, these people have suffered from Nian Shilan's bullying and oppression, but even so, the emperor is well aware of it, but he always chooses to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.

However, now that Cao Qinmo had just been promoted to the position of concubine, she couldn't wait to add insult to injury to her former master Nian Shilan. This behavior made the emperor very displeased.

After all, the emperor did not want to see the concubines in the harem fighting and scheming against each other, especially the act of stabbing others in the back, which made him feel disgusted.

"You are smart and cruel enough!"

The emperor put down Wen Yi in his arms, said this, and left without looking back.

"You said that Cao Qinmo, now that she has been promoted to the position of concubine, has lost her position and even dared to ask the emperor to kill Nian Shilan."

"Even I can see that the Emperor still has feelings for Nian Shilan. Their Nian family committed such a serious crime, but the Emperor only punished Nian Gengyao and demoted him, but did not punish Nian Shilan. Doesn't this prove something?"

As soon as he left the Queen's Palace, he said these words to Concubine Jing who was standing beside him.

Xin Changzai is a sincere person and says whatever he thinks.

"Sister, please be careful with your words!" Concubine Jing was shocked when she heard this. She quickly turned her head and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else around, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, you are already a concubine now, why are you still afraid of Nian Shilan? Her brother with outstanding military achievements and the Nian family she relies on are long gone. You don't have to be afraid of her anymore!" Seeing this, Xin Changzai said relentlessly.

Concubine Jing shook her head helplessly and sighed softly: "Sister, you are still too young. Although Nian Gengyao has fallen, Nian Shilan is the emperor's favorite concubine after all. We can't take it lightly."

Xin Changzai frowned and said disapprovingly, "Sister, Nian Shilan has been demoted to a concubine now, and has no children, so she poses no threat to us. We don't have to endure Nian Shilan's anger anymore. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"

Concubine Jing could only smile helplessly, said nothing more, and went back with the palace maid.

"Lingrong, what do you think the Emperor thinks about Nian Shilan's matter now?"

"Sister, the emperor still has feelings for Nian Shilan."

"But I think we can't remain passive all the time. We have to find a way to completely eliminate the hidden danger of Nian Shilan."

I pondered for a moment and whispered, "Sister, this matter requires long-term planning and we must not act hastily. We should first observe Nian Shilan's movements before making any plans."

"In that case, I'll do as you say. It would be great if we could find Nian Shilan's fault now."

"Don't worry about this, sister. Given Nian Shilan's temper, she will definitely not sit still and wait for death. It's only a matter of time before she makes a mistake!" I said confidently.

"Oh? Are you sure? Do you have any ideas?" my sister asked me curiously.

"Sister, if you ask Xiao Yunzi to keep an eye out these few days, you'll definitely find something. Just remember not to alert the enemy!"

The elder sister called Xiao Yunzi and told him to keep an eye on the movements around Shuiyuxuan in the next few days and report immediately if he found anything.
