Chapter 117: Last Wish Before Death
After Nian Shilan was demoted, the emperor refused to see her, so the plan naturally could not be implemented.
But not long after, news of Nian Gengyao's death came from the previous dynasty.
Nian Shilan was extremely sad and made a desperate attempt.
When Nian Shilan was in such an embarrassing situation, Songzhi went to ask the emperor for help. No one knew what Songzhi said to the emperor, but the emperor finally went to Yikun Palace.
Everyone was talking about it, wondering whether the emperor had remembered Nian Da Ying again.
You have to know that Nian Shilan has experienced so many ups and downs. As long as she is not sentenced to death, no one can guarantee whether the emperor will remember their old friendship.
The gaze turned to Yikun Palace.
Nian Shilan was dressed in plain clothes, without any head ornaments, and looked extremely simple. She did not look at all like the elegant and jewel-covered Concubine Hua of the past.
When he entered the Yikun Palace, the emperor saw Nian Shilan, who seemed to have lost her pride and was lifeless.
The emperor couldn't help but feel dazed. The lively, bright, cheerful and generous woman who had just entered the palace seemed to have gone away from him.
The emperor stopped and murmured with mixed feelings:
"Shilan...don't do anything stupid."
Seeing the emperor like this, Su Peisheng tactfully led the palace servants to retreat.
Nian Shilan had no reaction and was in great pain.
Nian Shilan didn't move until the emperor came closer. She looked at the emperor with her scarred eyes and said in a hoarse voice:
"Your Majesty, Shilan is suffering."
The emperor shuddered when he saw Nian Shilan like this.
I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Shilan, do you blame me?"
Nian Shilan sneered in his heart, I wish I could make you spit on me, drink your blood, and crush your bones, and you actually ask me if I blame you?
But Nian Shilan still remembered Huimin's instructions and just shook her head with empty eyes.
“Your Majesty, Shilan has been arrogant for so many years, and has gradually changed beyond recognition during his years in the palace.”
"But Your Majesty, Shilan has suffered so much. Without her brother, the friendship we have had for so many years is difficult to fulfill..."
"Your Majesty, Shilan's long-cherished wish for many years is just to be your wife!"
The emperor was shocked and felt indescribable for a moment.
Seeing that Nian Shilan was deeply in love with him and still loved him so much now, the emperor couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
"Shilan, don't worry, I won't give up on you."
Nian Shilan listened to the so-called promise of this hypocritical man and found it ridiculous. She wondered how she could have fallen in love with such a man and loved him for so many years.
Nian Shilan thought about her family, suppressed her anger, remembered to move people with emotion, and continued acting.
"Your Majesty, these days, Shilan has been thinking about the days in the palace. At that time, the emperor loved Shilan the most, and Shilan and the emperor had a child at that time..."
When talking about her children, Nian Shilan's face was truly filled with pain.
The emperor couldn't help feeling guilty and ashamed.
"Shilan..."
The emperor was about to speak, but Nian Shilan took the lead.
"It's all because of that vicious queen. If it weren't for her, our child would have been aborted like that."
"For so many years, I have been infertile. It is all because of this vicious woman, Your Majesty."
"There's such a strong musk in Huan Yi Xiang. It was the Queen who killed our child."
Originally, the emperor was afraid that Nian Shilan would know the truth about Huan Yixiang, but he never expected that Nian Shilan actually thought it was the Queen's doing.
The emperor was both relieved and suspicious at the same time.
After all, Nian Shilan and he have feelings for each other, and the emperor does not want Nian Shilan to hate him after knowing the truth. Since the queen has taken the responsibility, the emperor is willing to let it go.
The Emperor then asked:
"Shilan, why do you think so?"
Nian Shilan responded to the emperor according to the words he had previously discussed with Huimin.
Nian Shilan concealed her pain and injustice, and became more and more agitated.
"Yes, brother, brother went...before," Nian Shilan lowered his head to hide his expression.
"Before my brother committed suicide, he also wanted to solve my infertility problem. At that time, the doctor said that my body was damaged, but the truth was that it was caused by musk. It was all because of the vicious queen. She was jealous of me and was afraid that my position in the emperor's heart would threaten her position as the empress!"
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan. This explanation did make sense. After all, only a few people in the palace knew about Huan Yixiang, and Nian Shilan could only know about it with the help of Nian Gengyao.
Seeing that the emperor had no suspicion, Nian Shilan continued to play the role of someone who cared most about her love with the emperor even when she was in desperate situation.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is such a vicious woman."
"Before, Shilan wanted to be the emperor's legitimate wife, but there is already a queen, so I..."
Nian Shilan pretended to be embarrassed and looked at the emperor. The emperor was now feeling sorry for her, so he said:
"Shilan said so. Don't be afraid. I don't blame you."
Nian Shilan then continued:
"Shilan thought... of deposing the queen..."
The last two words were spoken very softly, but the emperor heard them clearly. He knew Nian Shilan's personality and was not surprised. He motioned for her to continue.
Unexpectedly, Nian Shilan's next words surprised the emperor.
"But no one expected that such an old story would be brought up by me. I don't know whether I should tell you about it or not."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of interrupting, Nian Shilan, who had done so much preparation, felt that the time was right, so he threw this bomb.
"Empress Chunyuan was killed by her own sister."
The emperor's eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief.
But Nian Shilan didn't care whether the emperor could accept it or not, and then told the cause of Chunyuan's death and how the queen did it, even implicating the Ulanara family.
The emperor was very angry and was about to ask again.
Nian Shilan suddenly looked at the emperor sadly and said.
"Your Majesty, Shilan doesn't want you to be kept in the dark. She also doesn't want the Queen, that vicious woman, to be able to get away with it even though she has committed a serious crime and has been protected by the Queen Mother. That's why I told you about this at the end."
"Shilan's wish has been fulfilled, and he has nothing to worry about anymore."
"Shilan, she's gone."
After saying that, Nian Shilan turned around and ran towards the wall.
Nian Shilan hit me with the intention of dying!
It happened so quickly that the emperor was so shocked that he only grabbed the corner of Nian Shilan's clothes and didn't let Nian Shilan hit him so hard.
But Nian Shilan was unconscious after the collision, with blood all over her head.
The emperor's eyes were red with anger, and he shouted:
"Imperial physician, call me imperial physician."
"Su Peisheng, call all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital!"
For a time, no one knew whether Nian Shilan was alive or dead, and the cause of Queen Chunyuan's death was revealed. The two women who held important positions in the emperor's heart had a great shock on him.
The emperor was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information and collapsed into his chair.
The emperor was rarely seen in a state of helplessness.
"How could this be? Chunyuan, Shilan..."
