Chapter 46 Nian Shilan's Intentions
By the time An Lingrong came in, they had already returned to their normal appearance and the fighting had stopped.
An Lingrong was not particularly surprised to see Chen Meizhuang here, but a hint of surprise flashed across her face when she noticed Nian Shilan sitting there.
Sure enough, their relationship with Nian Shilan is getting closer and closer. She is really a hypocritical person. She always said that she would help herself before, but once she climbed up the social ladder, she had already forgotten her original promise to herself.
The others didn't know what An Lingrong was thinking, otherwise, Nian Shilan would probably roll her eyes at her. How could she think that she could take advantage of her?
What's more, An Lingrong herself probably had forgotten it a long time ago, or she chose not to remember it. It was clearly she who took the initiative to choose the Queen's side and gradually drifted away from Zhen Huan and the others.
"Sister Wan, how are you doing? Sister, you're such a jerk! Why didn't anyone tell me about something so serious? I only heard from the Empress that something had happened to you, so I rushed over in a hurry."
After greeting Nian Shilan, An Lingrong held Zhen Huan's hand intimately, speaking in a reproachful tone.
It's just that what she said didn't seem to be a big deal at first, but when you think about it carefully, there seems to be something wrong.
After An Lingrong finished speaking, Nian Shilan couldn't help laughing. Seeing everyone's eyes on her, she waved her hand.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of a funny thing that happened before and couldn't help it. You guys continue."
An Lingrong was very angry at Nian Shilan for not taking her seriously, but she had no way to do anything.
"I'm not trying to hide it from you. It's not a big deal. Besides, the more people know, the more worried they'll be."
Zhen Huan knew that Nian Shilan had always looked down on An Lingrong and thought she was too petty, but since An Lingrong came to visit her, no matter what she actually thought in her heart, she had to put on an acceptable front.
"Sister is becoming more and more distant from my younger sister. Is she blaming me for stealing her affection? This is really not my younger sister's intention."
I don’t know what An Lingrong was thinking. She clearly came to care about Zhen Huan’s health, but her words sounded like she was showing off.
During this period, the emperor stayed at her place more often, and she seemed to be able to finally raise her head and look at people.
"An promised to do so. As the emperor's concubine, how could she not have the grace to tolerate others? Besides, didn't you come here to visit your sister? Why? You came empty-handed? You have served the emperor for so long, don't you have anything to show for yourself now?"
Perhaps Zhen Huan and the others would remember the bond they had when they entered the palace together and not want to break up with An Lingrong, but Nian Shilan did not tolerate her, so she was never polite when speaking to her.
"Besides, the incident involving Consort Wan was not deliberately concealed. How could someone with ulterior motives not know about it? You, on the other hand, went to Jingren Palace first before coming to visit. What's the matter? Is it because the servants around you are not attentive and didn't help you find out about the affairs of the various palaces?"
As soon as Nian Shilan finished speaking, the expression on An Lingrong's face changed immediately.
She really didn't expect that Nian Shilan would be so arrogant. She said everything directly to her face without leaving her any face.
This can only be blamed on An Lingrong for not seeing the facts clearly.
What kind of person is Concubine Hua? She even dares to confront the Queen directly. What does her small agreement mean?
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I am just..."
"What misunderstanding? You know what you are thinking. Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen sincerely treat you as a sister, but you are so different. Your little thoughts are almost written on your face."
Nian Shilan's words were almost as if she was saying that An Lingrong now had the Queen's support. Even a fool could hear such straightforward words.
Chen Meizhuang sat aside and did not say anything to dissuade her. She could see clearly that this Sister An was quite ambitious.
Last time, An Lingrong gave her a handkerchief she had embroidered herself, and she thought she really valued their sisterhood. Unexpectedly...
"Well, everything is fine now. The emperor has also punished the person who hurt me. Everything is fine now."
After waiting for Nian Shilan to finish speaking, Zhen Huan quickly took over the conversation. She didn't want Nian Shilan to continue speaking.
Although An Lingrong is not to be feared, it would not be good if the Queen heard about some people. After all, she is still the Master of the Central Palace.
Nian Shilan also understood what Zhen Huan meant. She smiled faintly at her and said nothing more. However, her occasional glances at An Lingrong made her feel a little uneasy.
"Sister, I'm relieved to see that you're not seriously injured. I won't disturb your rest. I'll come to see you next time I'm free."
Before long, An Lingrong really couldn't stand the sarcastic smile on Nian Shilan's lips. She always felt that it was like a thorn, always piercing her heart.
Zhen Huan did not try to persuade An Lingrong to leave. They both knew that their paths had finally begun to head in different directions.
"There are so many conflicts in the palace, it's understandable that Lingrong would do this. Everyone wants to find a way out for themselves."
Although Zhen Huan felt sorry for her sisterly relationship with An Lingrong, on second thought, it was all understandable. After all, wasn't she also planning for the future?
"An Lingrong's mindset isn't just about survival. You probably haven't seen her cruelty clearly enough."
Nian Shilan couldn't bear to listen to Zhen Huan still making excuses for An Lingrong's behavior. In her previous life, An Lingrong had an innocent and fragile face, and even the emperor was part of her calculations.
This silly sister, does she think everyone is as innocent as her?
"Since she has chosen the Queen, it is very likely that she will become the knife in the Queen's hand that stabs us at some point, so you have to be on guard."
Nian Shilan also prayed that An Lingrong in this life would not use those methods against the sisters who had been sincere to her. Otherwise, it would be no wonder that she could not tolerate her.
After finishing speaking, Nian Shilan left without staying any longer.
She had come back because she was worried about Zhen Huan's health. Now that she saw that she was fine, she felt relieved.
Nian Shilan's words shocked Zhen Huan. She always felt that Nian Shilan had something else to say.
At present, An Lingrong has not done anything to hurt them, but Zhen Huan can tell from Nian Shilan's expression that there seems to be something she doesn't know, but Nian Shilan did not make it clear.
However, this was also Nian Shilan's hidden thought. She knew that many times, only by experiencing some hardships personally could one feel the cruelty of the palace more deeply.
