In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 449: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 53

The scene suddenly became very quiet. The concubines who had witnessed Nian Shilan's ruthless methods watched the development of the incident without even daring to breathe.

"Is Concubine Wan crazy? How dare she challenge the Imperial Concubine by relying on the Imperial Heir?"

The new concubines who entered the palace were not aware of Nian Shilan's temper, and Guaerjia Wenyuan was even more innocent and directly expressed everyone's thoughts.

Yes, Zhen Huan's attitude was really wrong. The deliberate action of stroking her belly and the contemptuous look were all signs of her abusing her favor and provoking the Imperial Concubine.

Even Shen Meizhuang, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel disappointed with Zhen Huan's behavior today, "Huan'er has been blinded by the emperor's favor."

Shen Meizhuang understood Zhen Huan and saw the deliberate intention behind her behavior today, but she could not guess Zhen Huan's real intention. She just thought that Zhen Huan was jealous of the Emperor's sincere Imperial Concubine because of her affection for the Emperor.

"Since Wanpin is here, let's continue."

To everyone's surprise, Nian Shilan was not angry nor did she punish Concubine Wan. She just glanced at Zhen Huan with contempt as if she were watching a play, then ignored her and signaled everyone to continue.

Zhen Huan was so angry that she was shaking because of Nian Shilan's attitude of ignoring her. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and sat down next to Jingpin with her previous pride.

The remaining Wang, Li Da Ying and others who had not yet paid their respects looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and then, led by Yu Ying'er, stepped forward to pay their respects to Nian Shilan.

"Okay, now that everyone has greeted each other, you can talk now if you have anything to say. If there is nothing else, then go back."

Stand up and report when there is something to report, and dismiss when there is nothing to report. This is Nian Shilan's attitude towards the people in the harem. Many of the concubines who came to pay their respects today were seeing Nian Shilan, the legendary imperial concubine who was the most favored in the harem, for the first time. They were still immersed in the beauty of the imperial concubine and were about to look at her a few more times when they heard the impatient voice of the imperial concubine asking them to leave.

"Ah, go back?"

"Don't you want to chat a little more?"

Nian Shilan took a look at the stupid person and found that she didn't know him. She thought that it must be a variable brought about by the plot change in this life and the second audition. Since he was not someone she knew, then naturally there was no cause and effect between him and her body, let alone herself.

"Songzhi!"

"Send all the ladies and ladies away."

Since there's nothing to do, don't stay in Yikun Palace. Let's go quickly.

During this period of time, after Nian Shilan severed the causal thread with Concubine Jing, the speed at which he absorbed the power of merit increased a lot. Now, he only has one kidney left to successfully cultivate the five internal organs of merit. He has no mood to do other things at all, and even the progress of the plans that he pays attention to on a daily basis has been put aside for the time being.

"Your Highness, I have something to say."

Seeing that the Imperial Concubine was not taking the bait and did not react as she had expected, Zhen Huan was just planning to find an opportunity to "provoke" the Imperial Concubine a few more times when she heard the news that the Imperial Concubine asked everyone to leave.

Zhen Huan completely ignored her original plan and directly called out to stop Nian Shilan who was standing up. Since the plan was useless, she might as well just expose it directly.

"Since you insist, Concubine Wan, I will stay and listen to what you have to say."

What's wrong with Zhen Huan? Why is she so troublesome? I have never had any contact with her in this life, so I am amazed that I could still offend her. Is this the "attraction" between the heroine and the supporting actress?

What Nian Shilan didn't know was that Zhen Huan's groundless dislike for her was partly due to the 'attraction' between the heroine and the supporting actress, but more of it was actually because her previous rebirths in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" had ruined the plot and affected the heroine's luck, thus contaminating the cause and effect.

However, this kind of causality is different from the causality between Concubine Jing and Prince Guo. It is the natural causality after replacing the original character and rebirth, and cannot be regarded as the causality of the soul-summoning bird itself. Therefore, when Nian Shilan is practicing, she will not be entangled by the power of causality, but when she is not practicing, she will indeed be hostile to Zhen Huan because of this causal power.

"I felt unwell a few days ago, so I asked the imperial physician to examine me. He said that I had musk in my body."

"After careful inspection, the imperial physician found a number of items soaked in musk in my residence. This matter is of great importance. I wanted to wait for Your Majesty to return to the palace and then ask Your Majesty to investigate."

"Who would have thought that today, I would step on a stone on my way to Yikun Palace. Fortunately, the palace servants around me protected me with all their strength, so I did not fall."

"Since the Emperor ascended the throne, Your Majesty has been in charge of the harem, so I dare to ask Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation so that I can have an explanation!"

Ever since she entered the palace, Zhen Huan has felt that she was suppressed by Nian Shilan. No matter how favored she was, she could never compare to Nian Shilan. This made Zhen Huan, who only wanted to marry the best man in the world, very uncomfortable.

This kind of unfamiliarity gradually turned into jealousy and hatred. How long can you serve others with your beauty? Obviously, the imperial concubine only has a beautiful face, why should she be more favored than me? Why did the imperial favor that I had to carefully plan for become disdainful of the imperial concubine? Why!

Zhen Huan believed in her heart that Nian Shilan was her enemy, and she wanted to defeat her, just like in the plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", where she finally defeated her even after going through many hardships and obstacles.

But all this makes Zhen Huan look like a clown in front of Nian Shilan who doesn't accept the challenge at all. For a proud person like Zhen Huan, the difficulty of dealing with the enemy is not the real problem. The problem is that she regards Nian Shilan as an opponent, but Nian Shilan treats her as nothing.

As early as when the musk was discovered, Zhen Huan had already agreed on a statement with Wen Shichu. She had originally planned to deliberately provoke the Imperial Concubine today, and then faint and pretend to be sick when being punished by the Imperial Concubine, and then expose the matter of musk through Wen Shichu's mouth after the Emperor returned.

By then, even if the emperor trusts the imperial concubine, he will definitely investigate the musk matter for the sake of the royal heir, and in order to avoid suspicion, he will most likely take back the palace power from the imperial concubine.

It's not that Zhen Huan didn't suspect other people, but after analysis, she still felt that among the entire harem, the Imperial Noble Consort was the most likely one.

"what?"

I thought Zhen Huan lost her mind and became arrogant after she got pregnant, but now I know that she did it to deliberately "frame" me. Of course, in Zhen Huan's own opinion, this is not called framing, but just to draw out the truth, just like the ghost she had in her previous life, she created evidence without evidence.

Just because she had no evidence to prove that the person she arrested in her previous life was not wrong, doesn’t mean that this behavior is not slander.

"I know what Wanpin said. You asked me to investigate it thoroughly. I can do it, but I don't know if Wanpin will believe the result after my investigation."

"Why not wait for the emperor to come back and ask him to conduct a thorough investigation? I believe I have a clear conscience, and Concubine Wan does not have to hate me. As the Imperial Concubine, I have no mood to target a mere concubine like you."

Nian Shilan didn't fall for Zhen Huan's provocation at all, which was why she spent so much time and energy investigating and proving that she didn't do those things.

Whoever suspects can provide evidence. If there is anything, ask the emperor to investigate. Anyway, the same thing applies: it's not your child.
