Chapter 216 Li Changzai is offline
When Li Changzai heard what Chun Changzai said, the CPU in her brain almost burned out. After thinking for a long time, she begged for mercy from the emperor: "Your Majesty, if it is true as Chun Changzai said, the Imperial Concubine is really too cruel!"
At this time, Songzhi could not listen any longer, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, then looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say that I really can't help but say. My queen has never thought about the position of queen or crown prince. Moreover, before she came to the Yuanmingyuan Villa to escape the summer heat, Imperial Doctor Wen had already examined my queen's pulse. Imperial Doctor Wen said that my queen might be pregnant with a princess, so it is nonsense for my queen to want to frame the third prince."
The emperor was somewhat disappointed when he heard Songzhi's words. He looked at Nian Shilan in surprise and asked, "Shilan, is what Songzhi said true?"
Nian Shilan nodded calmly, and then continued: "If the emperor does not believe it, you can summon Doctor Wen or Yun'er to interrogate him. When Doctor Wen said that I was pregnant with a princess, Yun'er was there too."
At this time, An Lingrong was somewhat surprised and said, "So the reason why the Imperial Noble Consort asked me for that hairpin that day was because the princess wanted it?"
Nian Shilan nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, Li Changzai and Chun Changzai were a little surprised. That was not right. They had clearly received news that the imperial concubine was pregnant with a prince! How could she become a princess?
After thinking about it carefully, Chun Changzai figured it out. He was afraid that he had fallen into the trap set by Nian Shilan in advance. Who said that Nian Shilan was just a brainless vase? That was bullshit! Fang Chunyi had fallen into trouble with Nian Shilan three times, and now he dared not be careless anymore!
The emperor then looked at Li Changzai and Chun Changzai with some disgust: "You two vicious women, how dare you murder the Imperial Concubine! Come, give poisoned wine to Li. Such a woman is not worthy of having a child like the Third Prince. If I spare her life, I don't know what kind of situation she will bring the Third Prince into in the future! As for Chun Changzai, considering that she is a first-time offender, I will demote her to a concubine from today and confine her to the palace to reflect on her mistakes! She is not allowed to go out without being summoned!"
The guards responded and dragged Li Changzai away. Chun Changzai collapsed to the ground, her heart filled with despair and regret.
After Chun Chang was taken away by the guards, the whole palace became unusually quiet. Nian Shilan gently stroked her belly, secretly feeling lucky. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. As for Fang Chunyi, it wouldn't be long before she would be executed by the emperor.
After everything was settled, the emperor looked at Nian Shilan, with a trace of guilt and pity in his eyes. He walked to Nian Shilan and said softly: "Shilan, this time I failed to protect you well. Fortunately, Doctor Wen and Yun'er treated you in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. If you have any problems in the future, you must tell me as soon as possible, and I will definitely protect you well." Nian Shilan didn't care in her heart, and nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
The emperor had just promised Nian Shilan that he would send her brother to the Mountain Resort for treatment, and now he had to rearrange the entire plan, so he said softly, "You should rest early, and I will go back first."
Nian Shilan nodded and said with concern: "Your Majesty, you should also take care of your body."
The emperor said he understood, and then took An Lingrong back to Xianyue Pavilion.
After arriving at Xianyue Pavilion, An Lingrong obviously noticed that the emperor was absent-minded, so she gave him a massage to relieve his fatigue, and then asked, "Is the emperor worried about the health of the Imperial Concubine?"
The emperor shook his head, and An Lingrong spoke again: "Then the emperor must be worried about Lord Nian's condition. Your Majesty need not worry. With the imperial physician sent by the emperor, Lord Nian will be safe and sound."
When the emperor heard An Lingrong's words, he thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of person do you think Nian Gengyao is?"
An Lingrong was slightly startled when she heard the emperor's question. After a moment's deliberation, she said, "I have never met Lord Nian, but since I entered the palace, I have heard that Lord Nian has made great military achievements. I guess Lord Nian is a loyal man!"
"Oh? Concubine Rong gave such a high evaluation of Nian Gengyao?" The emperor looked at An Lingrong with some scrutiny in his eyes.
An Lingrong nodded affirmatively and continued, "Yes, because the emperor is a wise ruler who cares about the people, so the people he uses must be people of both virtue and good conduct."
The emperor was delighted to hear An Lingrong's flattering words, "Rongpin, come here, let me taste whether your mouth is sweet or not!"
As they spoke, the Emperor and An Lingrong rolled around on the couch. For a moment, a burst of lewd music was heard in the hall.
When the emperor woke up the next day, he felt refreshed. An Lingrong woke up the same moment the emperor woke up and called out in a daze, "Your Majesty~"
The emperor looked at An Lingrong, smiled, and patted her butt. "You must have been a little tired last night. Rest for a while. I still have government affairs to attend to. I will return to the Qinzheng Palace first."
When An Lingrong heard that the emperor was leaving, she got off the bed despite her tiredness and soreness, put on her inner clothes, dressed the emperor, and watched him leave Xianyue Pavilion.
After the emperor left, An Lingrong asked Rendong to help her wash and change clothes, and then went to Shen Meiyu's bedroom.
When Shen Meizhuang saw An Lingrong coming, she smiled and joked, "Why are you here so early today? I thought you would stay in bed and not get up."
An Lingrong's cheeks flushed at Shen Meizhuang's teasing, and she stammered, "Sister is teasing me again."
Shen Meizhuang knew that An Lingrong was shy, so she didn't continue and changed the subject with a smile, "Have you had breakfast? If not, why not join me?"
An Lingrong didn't act pretentiously, and immediately sat down at the dining table, smiling, "Okay, my sister is a little hungry."
Shen Meizhuang was also very happy, so she asked Cai Xing and Cai Yue to prepare the meal.
An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang were both very satisfied with their breakfast. After the servants cleared the meal away, Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong and asked, "Why did you come to my place so early this morning? Is everything going well?"
An Lingrong nodded and said, "Yes, Li Changzai has been executed, and Chun Changzai has been demoted to a concubine and is under house arrest."
Shen Meizhuang nodded after hearing this, "That's good, this way the Imperial Concubine can be more secure in this villa."
An Lingrong said hesitantly, "Last night the Emperor asked me what I thought of Lord Nian."
When Shen Meizhuang heard An Lingrong's words, her face became very serious and she asked, "What did you say?"
An Lingrong thought for a moment and replied, "I think Lord Nian can be considered a loyal man, because the emperor is a wise ruler, and the people he uses must be good."
Shen Meizhuang carefully considered An Lingrong's words, but could not find any fault with them. Then she said with some concern, "You should be more careful in the future. The emperor is a man of deep thoughts. I'm afraid he will be suspicious of you."
