The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 540: A Little Relief

Nian Shilan held back her tears, stood up with the support of Yinzhen, her face full of grief.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am a woman and I can only cry when I encounter trouble.
I am at a loss as to what to do. My brother treats me very well.
I was just anxious at the moment...but with the emperor's words in mind, I have nothing to worry about.

I just hope that General Yue can bring people to find my brother as soon as possible. That is... that is..."

At this point, Nian Shilan burst into tears again. Yinzhen raised his hand to wipe her tears. Nian Shilan barely stopped crying and continued.

"Even if my brother really met with an accident, it was his fate.

Serving the Qing Dynasty with all my heart is the duty of a minister. I am only proud of my brother."

After saying that, she wiped away two tears that were about to fall, which made Yinzhen feel distressed and he took Nian Shilan into his arms.

Nian Shilan stayed quietly in Yinzhen's arms for a long time before she raised her head with red eyes and looked at Yinzhen.

"I came here in a hurry today. I rushed here as soon as I heard the rumor. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Yinzhen smiled and stroked a strand of Nian Shilan's hair.

"You are my woman, and I am your support. If you have problems, who else can you turn to if not me?
Okay, wipe your tears quickly. I asked someone to make your favorite snack. Want to try it?"

Nian Shilan burst into laughter, then she awkwardly took Yinzhen's hand and shook it gently.

Yinzhen sighed secretly in his heart. He thought about the brother and sister of the Nian family. The elder brother fought on the battlefield for him, and the younger sister was in love with him. He was just being too suspicious.

Nian Gengyao had not been found yet, and someone in the harem was crying and begging to see the emperor.

Nian Shilan stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yinzhen.

"It's An Changzai, it's nothing serious."

Nian Shilan smiled.

“No matter who it is, as long as a sister from the harem wants to see the emperor at this time, it must be urgent.

I am afraid that she may not be able to say some things here, so it is better to avoid it."

After saying this, he left through the side door of the Yangxin Palace without paying any attention to Yinzhen's attempts to keep him.

Just as Nian Shilan expected, An Changzai, who was obedient in Yinzhen's eyes, came crying because she had something wrong.

It turned out that it was because her father, An Bihuai, was robbed while transporting military rations.

Yinzhen looked silently at An Changzai who was kneeling and begging him, and An Changzai said.

"I beg Your Majesty to investigate. My father must have been wrongly accused!"

Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen's expression and shook his head secretly in his heart.

People often say that autumn is a time of trouble, but it is only the beginning of April and there are so many things going on. It is hard for the emperor to handle it...

After all, An Changzai was a concubine favored by the emperor, so it was understandable that she spoke up for her father, but it was a bit rash at this critical juncture.

When An Changzai saw that Yinzhen looked unhappy, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she just cried.

After a long time, Yinzhen finally spoke.

"You can go back now. The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I will make the final decision on this matter."

An Changzai raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to say anything. He could only suppress his grief and leave.

She walked aimlessly on the long street, thinking about her own things.

Bao Que, who was following her, saw that she was distraught and wanted to comfort her.

“My lady, don’t worry. Since Lord An is innocent, the Emperor will investigate and give Lord An justice.

If you cry like this, it will only make the emperor unhappy, and you might even lose the favor you have worked so hard to get."

Bao Que had good intentions, but An Chang suddenly became furious. "Compared to my father's life, what is my favor?! You, my slave, don't have to say anything. I will make the decision!"

Baoque didn't dare to say anything else. This was the first time that An Changzai had been so harsh on her since she entered the palace. She also knew that An Changzai was anxious now, so it was better for her to keep quiet.

An Changzai, who had scolded Baoque, suddenly thought of someone.

Her father, An Bihuai, was robbed while transporting military rations in Jeju. Wasn't the daughter of Jeju assistant commander Shen Zishan, now Huipin, a good sister of Zhen Changzai since childhood?
Yes, how could I forget about this in such a hurry!
So An Changzai hurried back to the Yanxi Palace and went to Guanju Tower to find Zhen Changzai.

Zhen Changzai was sitting alone and feeling bored, so she asked Zhou Ninghai to bring out her piano. The weather was good today, so she could just play the piano in the yard to entertain herself.

But just as she ordered someone to put the piano away, she saw An Changzai coming in hurriedly.

When An Changyi saw Zhen Changzai, tears started falling again.

"Lingrong has met sister."

An Changzai's behavior frightened Zhen Changzai so much that she was at a loss for words and hurriedly held An Changzai's arm with both hands.

"What are you talking about, sister? Hurry up and sit down and talk slowly if you have something to say."

So An Changzai, with tears in her eyes, told the story of her father An Bihuai again. At the end, she said.

"Sister, I know you and Huipin have known each other since childhood, and this incident happened in the area under her father's jurisdiction.
Lingrong then bravely came to ask her sister to talk to Huipin for her.

There is no need for her to do anything treacherous. She just needs to write a letter home and save my father's life.

I went to ask for an audience with the emperor today, but he sent me back, so I had no choice but to come to my sister for help.

As long as sister is willing to help me, Lingrong will be grateful forever!"

When Zhen Changzai heard about An Changzai's situation, she couldn't help but feel anxious and felt a little sympathetic towards An Changzai's situation.

But when she thought about how An Changzai had been favored very early on, she started to laugh at herself. What qualifications did she have to sympathize with her?

When Zhen Changzai thought of this, his anxiety faded a little.

"My sister is willing to come to me when she has something to do, which shows that I still have some weight in her heart.

But my sister has also noticed that Huipin has been promoted and has not been in touch with me for a long time.

He is not as affectionate to me as before, either in public or behind people's backs.

I would like to ask her for help, but I don’t know whether she will give me this favor or not.”

After saying this, Zhen Chang showed a melancholy look on his face.

An Changzai was so anxious that she lost her mind. She only heard that Zhen Changzai was willing to ask Huipin for help, but ignored the ambiguity in her words.

Zhen Changzai stood up, packed up briefly, and went out with An Changzai's earnest expectations.

Huanbi brewed the Lu'an tea that An Changzai liked to drink, but An Changzai didn't have much appetite to drink it. She just forced a smile at Huanbi, and that smile didn't look much prettier than crying.

An Chang was anxious and felt that it was useless to sit in Guanju Tower, so he stood up and took Baoque back to his own Xinyinwu.

As soon as he returned, he met Baojuan coming back from the door. Baojuan was holding two pieces of clothes in her hands and said to An Changzai.

"My lady, this is the new dress that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made for you for the Dragon Boat Festival banquet next month. I just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it. My lady, would you like to take a look?"

An Changzai didn't think about these things. He shook his head gloomily and sat down in a daze.

Baojuan said again.

"Just now I saw Miss Zhen taking Liu Zhu and Zhou Ninghai to the Imperial Garden.

It's almost summer, and the Imperial Garden is picturesque. Why don't you go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden?

First, to relax, and second, to be with Miss Zhen, she can always comfort Miss Zhen a little."

I'm sorry, Baobao and others. I've been in the hospital since Monday, so typing on the phone is not easy. I've been feeling dizzy and lacking energy the whole day, so the update is a little late.
