Chapter 426: Sarcasm and Reporting the Queen
"I want to know why the emperor wants to protect the queen. Is it because the queen is the sister of Queen Chunyuan?"
Nian Shilan did not give the emperor time to answer, she looked at him with a determined look and spoke.
"Then does Your Majesty know why Queen Chunyuan died in childbirth?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Chun Yuan’s passing was an eternal pain in his heart, and he would not allow anyone to touch it.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
The emperor subconsciously narrowed his eyes, stared at Nian Shilan, and asked harshly.
"Of course I know what I am talking about. I came here today just to talk about this."
Nian Shilan met the emperor's gaze without fear. As the daughter of a general, and prepared to die in order to overthrow the queen, she was not scared by the emperor's gaze at all.
Seeing the emperor's angry look, she felt extremely happy in her heart.
She admitted that she really couldn't let go of the emperor in her heart. After all, she couldn't forget the emperor's cold-bloodedness towards her mother's family, nor could she forget why she hadn't had her own child for so many years.
But she still remembered the emperor's favor towards her. These two emotions intertwined together made her feel very complicated about the emperor.
Looking at his painful and disbelieving expression, she actually felt a rare sense of relief in her heart, and the pain of losing her child was alleviated a little.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the incident of Concubine Wan's difficult labor?"
Nian Shilan followed An Lingrong's teachings and looked at the emperor meaningfully and said quietly.
"Your Majesty, don't you feel that it looks familiar?"
"What do you mean?"
The emperor also roughly guessed what Nian Shilan wanted to say. Recalling that the princess born by Concubine Wan also had purple scars on her body, which were not much different from those on the child that year, except that the purple scars on that child were more obvious.
Could it be that Chun Yuan was really killed by the Queen?
The emperor was unwilling to believe this result. After all, if this was true, he would have been deceived by the queen for so many years.
He even spared the Queen many times because of the words Chun Yuan left for him before her death and because she was Chun Yuan's biological sister.
"Humph, it's boring for the emperor to play dumb. The queen is using the same method but with a different soup and the same medicine."
Nian Shilan couldn't help but sneer at the emperor's obvious look of restlessness.
"The queen killed the queen."
Nian Shilan ruthlessly shattered the emperor's last bit of fantasy.
"nonsense!"
The emperor didn't know whether he was angry or guilty, he interrupted Nian Shilan in a harsh voice.
"Nian, I can ignore your nonsense today because I am saddened by your loss of your son, but slandering the queen is a serious crime. Think it over carefully before you speak."
"Slander, does the Queen need to be slandered?"
"I have thought it through clearly now. This is the truth. It is useless for Your Majesty to not believe it."
Nian Shilan was so brave at this moment that he was not afraid of anything and even felt a bit of mockery.
"Yixiu is Chunyuan's biological sister, why would she want to poison her? Besides, Chunyuan has always loved this sister, how could she have the heart to do such a murder!"
When the emperor saw Nian Shilan's determined look, his eyes became even colder.
"Your Majesty, do you really not know why the Queen wanted to harm Queen Chunyuan?"
Seeing the emperor's look of disbelief, Nian Shilan asked back with amusement.
"Back then, the Emperor had promised the Empress that if she gave birth to a prince, he would make her his consort. But when she really gave birth to a prince, the Emperor had already married her elder sister into the palace. How could the Empress accept that the position of consort that originally belonged to her fell so easily on her elder sister's head? Even if she was a good-tempered person, she would be angry and furious."
"Moreover, if what I found out is correct, not long after the Queen's eldest son died, Queen Chunyuan became pregnant. The Emperor even asked the Queen to take care of the pregnant Queen Chunyuan. Does the Emperor really think that the Queen would happily forget the pain of losing her son and take care of the woman who stole his position as his wife?"
"Your Majesty, don't really think that the Queen is so gentle and virtuous that she has no temper at all, do you?"
Nian Shilan looked at the emperor with disdain and sneered.
"So the rest of the story is simple. The Queen is taking care of Queen Chunyuan. Wouldn't it be easy for her to take action?"
Nian Shilan stared at the emperor closely. The pain in the other's eyes soothed her inner anger very well.
She had to be in pain and anger, just like when she lost her child.
"Banana is cold in nature, so it's fine to eat it on a daily basis, but pregnant women must not eat it. Combined with the peach kernels in almond tea, it is a weapon that can harm the fetus. If you take too much, it will cause dystocia."
"And the child born will also have purple scars, just like the little princess born by Wanpin."
"Your Majesty, you must have seen the scars on the little princess' body. Don't you think they look familiar?"
Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows. Although she was kneeling on the ground, her momentum did not weaken at all.
The more the emperor listened, the heavier his heart became. What Nian Shilan said today was true. He had indeed taken a look at the child back then, and the bruises on his body were indeed somewhat similar to those of the little princess.
The imperial physician did say that Wanpin's condition was caused by the incompatible foods she ate during her pregnancy, and banana and almond tea were indeed Chunyuan's favorite foods back then. Could this be the reason for Chunyuan's difficult labor?
He originally guessed that the culprit behind Chun Yuan's difficult labor was the concubine who was punished by Chun Yuan to kneel.
After all, Chunyuan has always been kind to others and has never had any conflicts with others. Only this concubine is the most likely person to take action.
But he did investigate the concubine many times, but could not find any clues. It turned out that she was not the one who did it.
The emperor took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. After opening his eyes again, he stared at Nian Shilan for a long time before slowly asking.
"It's been so long since Chun Yuan's incident happened, and you hadn't even entered the palace at that time. How do you know so much?"
Such details can only be known by those who experienced these things back then. However, at that time, there were only a few elderly people in the palace: the Empress, Concubine Duan, and Concubine Jing. As for the others, they entered the palace later and it was impossible for them to know these things.
But it seems that Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing do not have a good relationship with Nyun Se-ran, so how could they say these things to Nyun Se-ran?
When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's question, she panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.
An Lingrong had told her about this situation before, and if the emperor asked her this, how should she answer?
