Chapter 425 Go to the Emperor and ask for clarification
"Okay, in that case I'll trust you this time. I have nothing to lose anyway."
After saying that, Nian Shilan suddenly stood up from the stool, looking straight at the door. She was going to avenge her child.
"Then I will serve tea here instead of wine, and wish Madam Hua Fei success."
Seeing Nian Shilan's aggressive look, An Lingrong smiled slightly, raised her teacup and toasted to Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan, as she did before, cast a look full of pride at An Lingrong.
It was as if she was still the proud and willful Concubine Hua who was the most favored concubine in the harem as described by An Lingrong.
On this side, when the emperor heard Nian Shilan asking for a meeting, he was a little dazed for a moment.
Ever since he dealt with Nian Gengyao, he rarely saw Shilan, and Shilan never came to him on her own initiative as usual.
To be honest, the emperor did not completely ignore Nian Shilan, otherwise he would not be reluctant to take her life after knowing that she had done so many evil things. He even planned to give her the title of a noble lady in the future so that she could stay in the harem with peace of mind.
So when the emperor heard that Nian agreed to seek a meeting on his own initiative, he was very happy. He thought that the other party had thought it through and was going to admit his mistakes.
If this is true, he can be more magnanimous and not care too much about the other party.
As long as Shilan can be the same as before, he can love her again and even give her a child.
After all, he knew that Shilan had always wanted to have a child, and if he could give her a child, even a princess would be fine.
If it was the prince, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the Nian family couldn't make any waves now, so he wouldn't worry too much about it.
"Let her in."
The emperor collected his thoughts and spoke to Su Peisheng, who was lowering his head in front of him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Peisheng responded quickly.
Seeing Nian Shilan again, especially the fact that the clothes she was wearing today were somewhat similar to the clothes she liked to wear when she first entered the palace, made the emperor think of the past Nian Shilan.
"This dress is very similar to the one you wore when you first entered the mansion."
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan, who had remained silent after paying her respects, and then took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Your Majesty, you still remember what I looked like when I first entered the palace."
Nian Shilan thought a lot before coming here, but she didn't expect the emperor to have such an attitude towards her.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but let out a mocking smile.
"Of course I remember that Shilan was so innocent and simple back then, but how did she become like this now?"
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan in front of him with some disappointment. If it were in the past, the other party would have pounced on him long ago, instead of standing far away like now.
"I also want to know why I have become like this."
Nian Shilan thought about her past admiration for the emperor, and even how hard she had tried in order to have a child of her own with the emperor.
But the emperor knew clearly what the queen had done, but he still protected her and didn't care about his own life or death at all.
Yes, if the emperor cared about her at all, he would not be so cold and ruthless to his relatives.
Now that my brother is gone, what's the point of living alone?
"Isn't all this because of the Emperor?"
Nian Shilan suddenly raised her eyes, stared into the emperor's eyes with burning eyes, and spoke word by word.
When these words came out, the emperor's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the other party knew about it?
Thinking of this, the emperor thought that the other party knew about Huan Yixiang, and a trace of fear flashed across his eyes when he looked at Nian Shilan.
How could the other party know this secret? Could it be that Nian Gengyao had hidden some other trick up his sleeve for Nian Shilan?
A hint of vigilance flashed across the emperor's eyes, and his hand subconsciously touched the hidden mechanism on the dragon throne.
If the other party makes any unusual movement, he will immediately press the mechanism, and the imperial guards outside will rush in at the first opportunity.
After all, if Nian Shilan really knew about this, he would definitely resent him. It would be bad if the other party did something extreme because of losing his mind.
He wouldn't gamble his life on something like this.
After all, he knew Nian Shilan's character best.
However, Nian Shilan did not notice the change in the emperor's eyes. Seeing that the emperor did not speak, she thought she had stumped the emperor with her question.
"The Empress tampered with the Huan Yi Xiang in my palace, which is why I have not been able to conceive despite receiving your favor for so many years. Does Your Majesty dare to say that he doesn't know about this?"
Nian Shilan asked angrily.
The emperor was relieved when he heard this.
It seems that Shilan did discover the matter of Huan Yixiang, but the other party seemed to have attributed it to the Queen.
Since the other party thought so, the emperor would naturally not be stupid enough to clarify anything on behalf of the queen. After all, it was indeed the queen who did this. He just didn't want Shilan to get pregnant.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Nian Shilan knew very well that if she exposed the queen later, she would not end up well. It would be better for her to take this opportunity to ask all the questions she wanted to ask, so that she would have no regrets.
"Of course I know, so I want to know clearly."
"The child I conceived in the palace was also the Queen's doing. She threatened Concubine Duan to send a bowl of abortion medicine, causing my child to die. I don't believe that the Emperor knew nothing about what the Queen did."
When the emperor mentioned the child, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that the other party had also found out about this matter. Could it be that Concubine Duan said it?
"I am sorry for that matter, but I really didn't find out anything at that time."
The emperor relaxed his facial expression, looked at Nian Shilan in a calm tone and began to explain.
"So the emperor actually discovered something was wrong afterwards, but he didn't want to deal with the queen, so he just brushed the matter aside."
Nian Shilan looked at the emperor in disbelief. She didn't expect that her guesses were all correct and that the other party really knew that the queen was the murderer behind the murder of his child.
"Your Majesty, I have remembered that child for so many years. I thought that Concubine Duan was responsible for my death, so I often went to find trouble with Concubine Duan, thinking that I could avenge my child."
"Your Majesty, isn't it stupid of me to do this?"
Nian Shilan couldn't help but let out a somewhat crazy smile.
"I am so stupid that I didn't even find the murderer who killed my own child. My child can't rest in peace in the underworld. I am really a joke. I am a joke in your eyes and the queen's eyes."
"Nian promised, you lost your composure."
Seeing this, the emperor sighed, looked at Nian Shilan and spoke.
