Chapter 158 The Sixth Prince is Still Young

"Sister Huan, how are you feeling today?"

Nian Shilan appears in Yongshou Palace almost every few days these days.

Before that, she specially summoned Wen Shichu to the palace to carefully inquire about the true condition of Zhen Huan's current body.

As she had guessed, Zhen Huan's pregnancy this time was far less smooth than the last time. Wen Shichu guessed that it was because the birth of twins had really damaged her physical foundation, and her body had not recovered in the past few years.

"Sister Hua, why are you here? Didn't I tell you that I'm fine? You don't need to come and accompany me every day. I know how my body is doing."

When Zhen Huan saw Nian Shilan, she smiled helplessly.

Ever since she became pregnant, the people around her always treated her like a fragile porcelain doll. They wouldn't let her touch anything on weekdays, for fear that something might go wrong.

"I have nothing to do in the palace anyway, so why not come to your place? We can chat and keep each other company."

Nian Shilan did not tell Zhen Huan about Wen Shichu's worries, but privately instructed Jin Xi and the others to take good care of her. If they needed anything, they must go to her palace to find her in time.

"It seems that the Third Prince's wedding is coming soon. Sister Mei has been taken to the palace by Concubine Qi these past few days. Speaking of which, Concubine Qi has changed a lot now."

As Lin Moran's cousin, Chen Meizhuang is naturally considered a member of the palace's family. Concubine Qi attaches so much importance to the Third Prince's wedding, so she would invite Chen Meizhuang over from time to time to confirm various details again and again.

"Yes, Concubine Qi is quite different from before. I think after what happened before, she has completely let go of all the troubles in her heart. She is now devoted to the Third Prince. Actually, this is a good thing."

Nian Shilan had also looked for Concubine Qi once before. The Third Prince was a prince and was older than the Fourth Prince. If Concubine Qi had not given up that idea, there would definitely be more trouble in the future.

Fortunately, Concubine Qi made it very clear that she no longer wanted her children to be involved in those fights. If one day, she only hoped that her children could become a leisurely prince and spend the rest of their lives in peace, she would be satisfied.

"She's quite open-minded."

Zhen Huan smiled slightly. In fact, she also understood the Third Prince's temperament and knew that he was not suitable for these power struggles.

"As for you, the last time the Emperor was in my palace, he deliberately sounded out my opinion. He mentioned the Sixth Prince and praised him for being so smart at such a young age."

When talking about this topic, Nian Shilan's face became much more serious.

They would have to face this matter sooner or later, but she didn't expect that the emperor had already started to be wary of the Sixth Prince so early.

"Sixth Prince is still young, and he has older brothers. Now all he needs is to grow up safely, and I don't want him to go down that path in the future."

It wasn't that Zhen Huan didn't understand what Nian Shilan meant. Although the emperor was praising her on the surface, he must have been on guard in his heart.

The emperor is now in his prime and certainly does not want his throne to be threatened by anyone, even if the person is born to his favorite concubine.

Nian Shilan was not at all surprised to hear what Zhen Huan said. In fact, she thought the same thing in her heart.

Although that position is supreme, it is really too lonely. She has watched Hongzhou grow up, and she doesn't want Hongzhou to face endless dangers in the future.

"Then what we have to do from now on is very clear. However, the Queen will definitely try to obstruct us in every possible way, so we must be mentally prepared."

After confirming Zhen Huan's thoughts, Nian Shilan also made her attitude clear. No matter what, she would definitely stand on the same front with Zhen Huan.

Now the Fourth Prince is being kept by the Queen. What they have to do is not only to overthrow the Queen, but also to make the Fourth Prince's heart lean on their side.

"You can do these things slowly, and only lend a hand at the most critical moment, so that people will remember it better."

Zhen Huan is no longer the naive girl who just entered the palace. Now she knows how to gain the greatest benefits.

They all witnessed the Queen's strict teaching of the Fourth Prince. Many times, the Queen did not care about the Fourth Prince's physical condition at all, and only asked him to read more and please the Emperor. Over time, the rebelliousness in the Fourth Prince's heart would surely erupt.

"We'll have to think about these things slowly later. Jingren Palace has always been very tight-lipped, and the people I sent out could hardly find out anything important."

In fact, Nian Shilan has been secretly ordering people to keep an eye on Jingren Palace since her rebirth, but the people around the queen have always been very tight-lipped, and the news they get every time is irrelevant.

"Actually, some things don't necessarily require us to intervene. Sister Hua, do you still remember Xiaolan?"

Zhen Huan smiled gently at Nian Shilan. She had heard an interesting story before.

Everyone thought that Xiaolan was sent to the emperor by Rou Changzai, but they didn't expect that all this was planned by the maid herself.

It is said that in order to successfully gain the emperor's special favor, Xiaolan even took the opportunity to go out of the palace to purchase things several times and went to places that she had previously disdained, just to learn how to please men.

And everything she did indeed made her get what she wanted. After everything was settled, even if Rou Changzai was jealous in her heart, she had to suppress her feelings for the time being.

"Xiao Lan? That official girl, oh, no, the one who was promoted to the rank of "Ding Ying" by the Emperor a few days ago. Lan Da Ying, you mean this person, right?"

Nian Shilan had also heard about what Xiaolan had done, and she was very disdainful of such means.

"That's her. I heard that the Queen has been frequently summoning her to Jingren Palace recently, and at the same time, she's been arranging her residence together with Concubine Rou. Doesn't she really have any resentment towards such an arrangement?"

Having said that, Nian Shilan had an idea in mind.

"Okay, I'll have someone contact Xiaolan and test her opinion. Don't worry about it. Your biggest task right now is to take care of yourself."

Nian Shilan knew what Zhen Huan was thinking, and she felt the same way. As long as the Queen was still alive, they would never have peace.

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Hua."

Zhen Huan knew Nian Shilan's good intentions, and she didn't want to make everyone worry, but why was her body so disappointing this time?
