The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Su Peisheng heard footsteps behind him, turned around, and saw that it was Nian Shilan. He immediately knelt down to greet him.

Nian Shilan called out and said again.

"Eunuch Su, I am here to see the Empress off. Is that convenient?"

Su Peisheng had received a lot of favors from Nian Shilan in the past, so he was naturally happy to give her this favor. He took Xiao Xiazi out with him, since Xiao Linzi was with Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan watched Su Peisheng walk out, signaled Xiao Linzi to close the door of the hall, and then found a chair to sit down.

The once-glorious Jingren Palace was bright and clean, without a speck of dust.

Now no one has come to clean for a long time, and even the chairs are covered with thick dust.

The chair that Nian Shilan sat on was cleaned by Xiao Linzi as soon as he came in.

"I'm used to calling you Her Majesty the Queen, but I don't know how to address you now."

Nian Shilan looked down at Ulanara, who was slumped on the ground, calmly, as if she was looking at a rag.

Ulanara had been imprisoned for so long, and all she did every day was cry and curse Nian Shilan.

Now she saw the person she hated right in front of her, looking down on her. How could she possibly bear it?

She struggled to stand up from the ground, and staggered towards Nian Shilan, but was restrained by Xiao Linzi.

"How dare you! How dare you lay a hand on the Imperial Concubine!"

Ulanara, who was knocked to the ground by Xiao Linzi, howled in pain, and then her eyes stared at Nian Shilan like a poisonous snake.

"Royal Concubine? Oh, what a great Royal Concubine. I am the Queen,

As the emperor's wife, no matter how noble her title is, she is nothing more than a concubine.

No matter what, you should be the one to pay respect to me!"

Nian Shilan chuckled, and that smile was full of mockery.

“You think you are the emperor’s wife, but the emperor doesn’t consider you as his wife.

You don't know yet, right? Yunsi and Yunlu are in collusion with each other, trying to seize power and usurp the throne.
They have been dealt with by the emperor. Their families have also been dealt with.

The Emperor is investigating the case of the traitorous prince and has uncovered several new charges against your mother's family.

The emperor has issued an order to execute all members of the Ulanara family, young and old, men, women, and children in the autumn.

You, the former queen, are no longer fit to be seen in public, so I have no choice but to sentence you to death."

It was not until this moment that Ulanara knew why Yinzhen suddenly issued an order to execute her.

"You're talking nonsense! It must be you, a slut, who is instigating this!"

Nian Shilan suddenly saw herself in her previous life in Ulanara.

At that time, the Nian family had already fallen into decline, and when she was sentenced to death by Yinzhen, it was Zhen Huan who came to tell her the truth about Huan Yi Xiang.

Nian Shilan was so disheartened that she hit herself against the wall and died.

Isn’t the crazy look of Ulanara in front of me just like myself in my previous life?
She also couldn't believe that the man she had loved all her life could be so cruel.

Nian Shilan withdrew his thoughts and said coldly.

"Why would I provoke you? You are a commoner now, and I am a noble concubine.

I know that you have always regarded me as your mortal enemy and I must get rid of you as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, this is how the world works. If you are weak, I will be strong. Either you die or I die.

You have done so many evil things in the past, have you never thought that you would end up like this?"

Ulanara said.

"I never thought that I would die in your hands. But even if I die,
Why don't you let me die with a clear conscience? I have kept all the things that happened in the past secret.
How did you know this? And you forced the emperor to follow your plan step by step.

The Emperor is so disgusted with me that he has imprisoned me in this place where no one can see me."

Nian Shilan leaned back and said nonchalantly.

"You are no longer the queen, and the emperor has said that he will never see you again in this life or the next.

As for the title "this palace", I think it is unnecessary. As for how I know this, you don't have to know.

By the way, let me tell you that the Emperor has been ill since the beginning of the year.
He was also disturbed by the rebels, and now his mental state is getting worse.

It's a pity that the emperor is only in his forties, which is the prime of his life.

But he is often bedridden. I feel so sorry for him when I see him like that."

Ulanara grasped the key point in Nian Shilan's words and spoke hurriedly.

"The Emperor is ill? What is wrong with him?"

Year of the Landau.

"I know that you let you go because you still care about the Third Prince being able to inherit the throne.

I advise you not to dream. The Third Prince is so naughty and unruly.

The emperor had already eliminated him from the list of candidates for the crown prince. After two years,
Arrange a marriage for him and let him live alone."

Ulanara said hatefully.

"You are the worm in my stomach! I am just concerned about the emperor's health!"

Nian Shilan snorted with disdain.

"Don't say such disgusting things. After all, she was once the empress of the Qing Dynasty.

Why do you talk like a country woman now?

"Do you really care about the emperor's health? Have you never hated him?"

Ulanara was surprised at Nian Shilan's calm demeanor.

"I love the Emperor deeply. If it weren't for my sister, you, and the burden of my family,
I will surely be able to live in love with the Emperor and grow old together!"

Nian Shilan interrupted Ulanara impatiently.

"It's a pity that the emperor doesn't have you in his heart, and he never has. If he had you,
How could he fall in love with Empress Chunyuan at first sight and insist on taking her as his wife?

If you were alive, how could you leave your son to die without caring about him?
If you were there, how could you secretly investigate the faults of the Ulanara family?

If you were there, where did the white silk dagger and poisoned wine in front of you come from?

It has come to this and you are still deceiving yourself. You are such a fool.

I shouldn't have said any more than one word to you!"

Nian Shilan stood up and left, leaving Ulanara sitting there in a daze.

On the second day, news came from Jingren Palace that the deposed Empress Ulanara had hanged herself to death, with her eyes open.

When Yinzhen learned the news, he was in Yikun Palace and had just finished breakfast with Nian Shilan.

After Su Peisheng finished speaking, he lowered his head quietly, and Yinzhen just spoke expressionlessly.

"I understand. The Ulanara clan has done so many evil things that they don't even need to enter the mausoleum of the concubines. Just find a place nearby."

Nian Shilan lowered her head and said nothing until Su Peisheng took the order and left. Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan who was sitting opposite him.

"What is Shilan thinking? Are you thinking that I am too inhumane?"

Nian Shilan shook her head.

"Your Majesty, whatever you do is right. I am just thinking that the Queen has been scheming for her whole life.
But she didn't expect that she would be burdened by her family in the end. I guess she was unwilling to accept that.

However, the Ulanara family was not entirely at fault.

I dare to say that at least Empress Chun Yuan, who was born in the Ulanara family,
It is the lotus that grows out of the mud without being stained, and has always been planted in the emperor's heart.

I'm going to say something presumptuous, but I'm even glad for Queen Chunyuan that she wasn't implicated by her family."

When Yinzhen heard Nian Shilan talking about Queen Chunyuan, he suddenly felt as if he was in another world. He couldn't even remember Chunyuan's face for a moment.

I don't know when it started, but his memory of Chun Yuan became increasingly vague. (End of this chapter)
