Chapter 332: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 16

Wen Yuan rolled her eyes in her heart. Did Yinzhen get the wrong script? Why was he playing the affectionate game? Did they know each other in their previous life? What the hell!

Yue, what an old-fashioned way of picking up girls.

Wen Yuan complained madly in her heart, but on the surface she had to pretend to be extremely shy and replied timidly: "Your Majesty, you are joking. It is a blessing for me to meet your Majesty in this life. My greatest wish in this life is to be with your Majesty forever."

Yinzhen was delighted when he heard this. He hugged Wen Yuan into his arms and said in a gentle tone that could drown a person: "Yuan'er, don't worry. I will definitely treat you well and will never let you down."

Inside the Jingren Palace, Empress Yixiu sat on the phoenix couch, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, but she did not take a sip.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a barely perceptible smile, and her eyes and brows revealed an unconcealable joy.

"Your Majesty, does the Emperor really want to hand Nian over to you for disposal?" Jianqiu asked cautiously, fearing that she had heard it wrong.

Yixiu put down the teacup and gently stroked her well-maintained nails, with a hint of irrepressible excitement in her tone: "The emperor said it himself, how could it be false? This time, I want to see who else can save her!"

Thinking of Nian Shilan's usual arrogance, Yixiu felt so angry that her teeth itched. She was the queen, but she was always suppressed by Nian, and the emperor's favor for her made her feel like a thorn in her throat.

Now that this huge stone in her heart is finally being removed, how can she not be happy?

"Your Majesty, then let's..." Jianqiu hesitated to speak.

Yixiu certainly understood what she meant, and sneered: "Since the emperor has entrusted this matter to me, I will naturally do it properly..."

Yixiu paused, and said in a grim tone: "I want to let Nian go in a more 'dignified' way."

Jianqiu took the order and left, with Yixiu showing a sinister smile on her face.

The Cold Palace, a cold name, just like the palace itself, gloomy, damp, and exuding a decayed smell.

The once beautiful and bright Concubine Hua is now like a butterfly with its wings wet by rain, having lost her former glory.

"Nian Shilan, how did you become like this?" Zhen Huan looked at her former rival with mixed feelings.

Thinking back to the past, Nian Shilan was so arrogant and domineering, but now he has ended up like this, it really makes people sigh.

When Nian Shilan heard the familiar voice, she slowly raised her head. Her once bright eyes were now dull and lifeless, with only despair and hatred swirling in them.

"Zhen Huan, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?" Her voice was hoarse, like a broken bellows.

"Sister, you are joking. I just couldn't bear to see you like this, so I came to see you."

Nian Shilan sneered, "Hypocritical! How dare you say that you don't feel happy at all? Isn't my current appearance, neither human nor ghost, exactly what you want?"

Zhen Huan sighed and sat down next to Nian Shilan. "Sister, why are you doing this? The emperor gave you poisoned wine because he wanted to save your brother Nian Gengyao's body for his past contributions. Why don't you understand?"

"Intact corpse?" Nian Shilan suddenly laughed wildly as if she had heard some huge joke.

"Hahaha, an intact body? My brother risked his life for the emperor and made great contributions, but in the end, his entire family was executed. What is my worthless life? I just want to live and watch you all die miserably!"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to teach me? Do you think you are a good person? You are just a scheming bitch who relied on her seductive tricks to win the emperor's favor!"

Nian Shilan roared hysterically, like a wounded female beast, desperately trying to maintain the last bit of dignity.

Zhen Huan looked at her, and suddenly she felt an inexplicable irritation in her heart. This irritation came so suddenly that she herself felt puzzled.

Zhen Huan looked at the once arrogant woman in front of her, with no pity in her heart, only the pleasure of victory.

She lowered her voice and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "Do you know why the emperor has been reluctant to take action against you? Do you really think that he is doing it for the sake of Nian Gengyao's kindness? It's just because... you are still useful."

Nian Shilan shuddered when she heard this. Zhen Huan continued, "Think about it carefully. Why haven't you conceived a prince in all these years? The emperor dotes on you in every way, but why haven't you had any children in all these years? Don't you find it strange?"

Nian Shilan's face was pale, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak. Of course, she had thought about this problem and secretly consulted the imperial physician, but she could not find the cause. Now that Zhen Huan mentioned it, she felt even more uneasy.

She held Zhen Huan's hand tightly, her sharp nails almost digging into her flesh: "What did you say? What do you mean by this?"

"Don't you know? The incense burning day and night in your palace..."

She paused, observing Nian Shilan's expression. Seeing her pale face, she said word by word, "The Huanyi incense is mixed with a lot of musk!"

"Musk..." Nian Shilan murmured to herself, and her mind went blank as if thunder had exploded.

Musk is a holy grail for women’s contraception. Long-term use will cause lifelong infertility.

"Impossible! Impossible!" Nian Shilan shook her head fiercely, desperately denying this cruel truth. She lit Huanyi incense day and night, wasn't it just to make the emperor linger, give birth to a prince as soon as possible, and consolidate her position? How could it be... How could it be musk?

"Think about it carefully. This Huan Yi Xiang was given to you by the emperor. Apart from the emperor, who else can touch the things in your palace?" Zhen Huan's voice was like a devil's whisper, echoing in Nian Shilan's ears and shattering her last glimmer of hope.

Nian Shilan collapsed to the ground helplessly, her eyes that used to be radiant became empty and lifeless, leaving only endless despair and regret. She hated the emperor's ruthlessness, her own stupidity, and even more so, Zhen Huan's deep scheming.

"Why? Why are you telling me this?" Nian Shilan's voice was hoarse, like the last bit of strength squeezed out of a dry throat after walking in the desert for many days.

Zhen Huan stood up and looked down at her, with a cold arc on her lips: "Because, I want you to understand that you have been just a pawn in the hands of the emperor from the beginning, and...if it weren't for you, my child would not have left me so early!"

Nian Shilan was struck by lightning. She had always believed that the emperor truly loved her and that everything she had done was to win the emperor's heart and to preserve the glory of the Nian family.
