Chapter 171 Is it a blessing or a curse?

"Lan promised, what else do you want to say now?"

The emperor glanced at Lan Da Ying nonchalantly.

In fact, in his heart, he didn't seem to care too much about who was the person behind the scenes. He just didn't want the balance of the harem to be broken. Now it was obvious that someone wanted to start trouble. The most important thing was that even the royal heirs began to get involved.

"Your Majesty, there is no grudge between me and Lan Da Ying. I really don't understand what has happened to her that has offended her to the point of wanting to harm my child like this."

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with a sad face. Her face was extremely pale at this moment, and she looked particularly pitiful in the eyes of the emperor.

"Hanhuan, don't worry. You need to take good care of yourself now. Don't let these things hurt you again. I'm just as sad as you are about the loss of our child. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

The emperor tried to calm Zhen Huan, but despite his words, his face did not reveal much emotion.

Nian Shilan lowered her head and smiled sarcastically.

What is the point of giving an explanation? In his heart, he is probably still weighing the forces of all parties before making the best decision for the royal family.

"Your Majesty, I feel that since Lan promised that there is no one who can prove her innocence, and Rou Changzai is even more confused about this matter, it is better for me to investigate this matter thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."

Nian Shilan glanced at the queen and said it first. She would never let this matter be fooled away like this.

"Your Majesty, as the head of the Central Palace, I failed to pay close attention to the inappropriateness in Concubine Xi's palace. This is my dereliction of duty. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions. I will definitely be able to give Concubine Xi a satisfactory explanation."

The Queen knew that if Nian Shilan really took over the investigation of this matter, she would completely lose the initiative. The most important thing now was to get this matter over with as soon as possible.

The emperor looked at everyone in the room, his calm face revealing no trace of his inner thoughts.

Just as everyone was waiting for the emperor's final decision with different thoughts, the emperor finally spoke.

"It was your fault that this happened during the Empress's management of the harem. It is only natural that this matter should be handed over to you to handle. I hope you can come up with a result as soon as possible."

After the Emperor finished speaking, he looked at Zhen Huan and continued, "I empathize with Concubine Xi's pain of losing her child. You haven't fully recovered yet, so you need to take good care of yourself. A few days ago, the Western Regions sent a few boxes of premium Luozidai as tribute. I will have them delivered to your palace later."

After hearing what the emperor said to her, Zhen Huan did not feel very moved.

This Luozidai is indeed a rare treasure, with an annual output of only three boxes. But so what? Zhen Huan knew very well that the emperor wanted to use this thing to comfort her, but her child was gone.

Nian Shilan was dissatisfied with the emperor's decision and wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhen Huan gently shaking her head at her on the other side, she had to suppress her dissatisfaction.

"I thank the Emperor for his grace. I am deeply grateful to the Empress for taking the trouble to help me with this matter. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Zhen Huan knew that since the emperor had already made the decision, no matter how much they said, it would be useless. It would be better for them to go back and think of other ways.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Even if she had the chance to do it all over again, Nian Shilan would still be the arrogant Nian who dared to love and hate. It was just that she had restrained her temper in front of others before, but this incident had completely revealed the arrogant spirit in her heart.

The emperor didn't say anything else and nodded to indicate that they could leave.

This matter seemed to have come to a temporary end here, and on the surface the Queen and others seemed to have obtained the expected result. Only Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan knew in their hearts that their hatred for the Queen could no longer be suppressed, and now they were even somewhat dissatisfied with the Emperor.

"Sister Huan, why did you stop me just now?"

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Nian Shilan and Shen Meizhuang did not return directly to their own palaces, but accompanied Zhen Huan to the Yongshou Palace.

"Since the Emperor has said this, it means that he has no intention of investigating this matter thoroughly. Also, didn't you notice that the atmosphere between Concubine Rou and the Empress was a little off in the Yangxin Palace just now?"

As soon as Zhen Huan arrived at Yongshou Palace, she was helped to lie down on the bed. After adjusting her sitting position, she told the other two about her discovery in Yangxin Palace.

The queen thought it was a good thing for her to take over this matter, but she did not think that this might be a disaster for her. She might not have thought that Concubine Rou did not want her to get what she wanted.

"It has been a long time since we have had any new people come into the palace. We have mentioned this several times in the court but the emperor has always refused. Now it seems that it is time to select some new people for our emperor."

Nian Shilan whispered something meaningful, which made the other two agree.

The harem has been quiet for too long. If the queen is not given something to do, she will probably be bored all day long.
