The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 465: Queen's Completion
Nian Shilan glanced at An Changzai calmly, then looked at the incense burner.

"Why can't I place ylang-ylang flowers? I remember that ylang-ylang is non-toxic."

Peace is always in the Tao.

“Yes, ylang ylang flowers are originally non-toxic, but large amounts of purified ylang ylang flowers,

Mixing it with Cnidium monnieri and Pear tree fragrance has an aphrodisiac effect.

If the queen is pregnant, this would be extremely dangerous."

Year of the Landau.

"Since you said that the goose pear tent incense has been lost,
How do you know that this palace has it?
I will not let you off easily if you speak nonsense."

Upon hearing this, An Changzai trembled involuntarily and quickly knelt down.

“Before he became an official, my father had been in the spice business for decades.

I have been influenced by this since I was young, and my father has also taught me the experience of using spices.
Although I am not completely sure that the goose pear tent incense was burned in the Queen's palace,

But I am also 70% sure. Because I have been studying the method of making this incense,
But there are always a few points that I can't figure out. I just smelled the lingering smell.

I can roughly tell which spices are still missing, and my fragrance will be ready."

Nian Shilan was shocked. She had seen many things in her dream, including An Changzai's ability to make incense.

But the things in the dream were so vague that I didn’t know that An Changzai’s nose was so powerful.

Nian Shilan suppressed her surprise and a smile appeared on her face.

"An Changzai has a very good nose. According to the person who brought it, this incense is called goose pear tent incense.

But you also said that this incense has been lost since the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

So I just thought it was just a name for the fragrance. But, you said so much,

What use is it to me?"

When An Changzai saw the smile on Concubine Hua's face, she felt more confident.

"My lady, I just wanted you to see my ability.

What I am going to say next should only be known to Your Majesty.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause a huge uproar in the harem."

Nian Shilan's patience was almost worn out by An Changzai's nagging, so her tone was filled with impatience and contempt.

"After going around in circles, we still haven't gotten to the point."

An Changzai knew that Concubine Hua's patience was almost running out, so she didn't dare to keep her in suspense any longer.

"Your Majesty knows that the Queen gave Concubine Duan a scent of Huan Yi incense.

The concubines in the palace also knew that this incense was difficult to make and hard to obtain.
However, this strong fragrance is just to cover up the taste of a vital spice.

Musk is the scent that can damage women's skin. If you accidentally touch it,

If you take care of yourself in time for a few days, it will be fine. But if you smell it every day like Concubine Duan,

I’m afraid I won’t get pregnant again in this life~”

An Changzai finished speaking in one breath and then secretly looked at Nian Shilan's expression.

At this moment, Nian Shilan thought of the spices she loved in her previous life, which were a chronic poison carefully prepared for her by the person beside her. Her heart, which had been calm for a long time, began to show murderous intent again.

If I hadn't been able to live my life again, even if I hated Yinzhen to death, I would not have been able to shake him in the slightest.

In this life, she avoided the Huan Yi incense, but when today's Chang An mentioned the effects of this incense again, Nian Shilan felt a little suffocated.

She quietly pinched the palm of her hand with her fingernails, trying to make herself feel a little more painful, and gradually suppressed the murderous intent in her heart.

Looking at An Changzai again, Nian Shilan showed surprise at the right time.

"Are you telling the truth? Although I am not on good terms with the Queen,
But it's all for the Emperor's favor. I can't believe it.
The Queen actually had such a mind to control the harem. No wonder Concubine Duan had been favored for a long time, but had not been pregnant since she lost her child last time.

I secretly thought that she was injured because of what happened last time.

You know, slandering the queen is a serious crime. "

An Changzai gritted his teeth and looked up at Nian Shilan.

"I would never dare to slander Her Majesty the Queen, but I also don't want to be a puppet and be manipulated by others!
Your Majesty, do you know that, except for the Yiku Palace, the Empress will reward each concubine with a bowl of soup the day after she sleeps with the Queen?

But in that soup, a lot of contraceptive medicine was added! Every time I drank it, I pinched my nose.

After the palace servants who brought the soup left, they would scratch their throats and spit it out.

But it's no use. No matter what I do, the soup is so potent that I won't get pregnant!
I am still young, I just want to have a good future for myself!

This way, the mother at home can have a few days of good life!"

When An Chang talked about her mother, her eyes suddenly turned red and tears flowed.

This was something Nian Shilan never knew. She only knew that An Chang came from a humble family, but she didn't know that she was trying hard to climb up the social ladder just to make life easier for her mother at home.

"You are the legitimate daughter, and your mother is the legitimate wife. Don't you have a good life at home?"

When An Changzai heard this, all the grievances that had been pent up in her heart suddenly burst out, and tears gushed out, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, I dare not not answer. Although my father is only a county magistrate, he has five concubines.

My mother was a coward by nature, and she had loved my father all her life, and she had worked so hard for him that she went blind.
She was old and ugly, and was not loved by her father, so she was bullied by several concubines in the family.

When I went to the capital, my mother was not allowed to accompany me. It was Aunt Xiao, who was on good terms with my mother, who sent me here.

Every time I think of this, I worry about my mother. She is now alone in the mansion.
He could only live on the scattered money saved by his concubines, and because of his concubines'
My father and aunts at home would not have taken my mother's life!

So the reason I came here today is not only for myself, but also for my mother!
I beg the Queen to protect me and fulfill my filial piety!"

An Changzai cried until she couldn't continue speaking. She knelt on the ground and her tears fell to the floor of Qingliang Palace.

Nian Shilan was touched, looked at it for a while, and sighed.

"You should get up first. You have been here for such a long time today and have said so many words from your heart.

I am not a hard-hearted person, but I do not want to cause trouble in the palace. I just want to live a peaceful life."

An Changzai did not stand up, but spoke hurriedly.

"My lady, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Even if you want to live a quiet life in this palace,

This is also impossible. I heard that a new bride was about to enter the palace.
Among them were also daughters of the Queen’s family.

You are alone in the palace, although the emperor has great favor,

But you can't help but plan for yourself!

Besides, I think even if you don't provoke the Queen,

I'm afraid the Queen won't let you go either."

An Changzai took out the purse given by Ulanara on the Dragon Boat Festival from her sleeve.

“You see, Madam Queen, the Queen doesn’t like women in the palace to be pregnant, and even this sachet has a secret.

But I have already smelled it carefully just now, and there is no smell of this sachet in your palace.

But you also received a reward from the Queen Mother that day, so,
I am sure that you are also on guard against the Queen, right?

I am not greedy, I just want to have a son and a daughter.

I hope I can live in the palace for a long time! Please grant me your blessing, Madam Queen!"

Nian Shilan looked at An Changzai who was kneeling in front of her and remained silent for a long time.
