In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 458: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 62

"This prince wants to cooperate with the queen!"

Finally, when Nian Shilan gave in, Prince Guo breathed a sigh of relief, stopped making trouble, and quickly stated his purpose.

"cooperate?"

"As far as I know, I have no business cooperating with the prince." Nian Shilan's eyes darkened. Her original guess was correct. The prince really wanted to get involved. As for the cooperation he mentioned, it was just another way of reaping the benefits.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush to refuse. I suspect that the court officials that Your Majesty has won over over the years will not do so just to seize the throne and become a 'childless' queen."

Prince Guo emphasized the word "childless" and stared at Nian Shilan with expectation and suggestion in his eyes.

"With the power of the Nian family, if the queen really lost her fertility, they would definitely not just let it go. So the queen has not gotten pregnant yet, probably because she is worried about the suspicion of the emperor brother."

Prince Guo originally wanted to mention that the emperor's "ability" was not good enough, but because he was not sure what Nian Shilan really thought of the emperor, he did not mention it in the end.

"If you cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you will get what you want soon."

He was much younger than the emperor, young, strong and healthy, so he would naturally be much more capable than the emperor. Prince Guo naturally knew that the Royal Concubine had no intention of surrogacy and adopting the prince born by other concubines, otherwise he would not dare to make such presumptuous remarks.

Nian Shilan understood Prince Guo's hint, but she did not answer. Instead, she was thinking whether to "follow" Prince Guo's intention and use his power, or to directly state that her plan was not to give birth to a prince and become the queen mother.

If you choose the first one, in addition to having to take time to deal with Prince Guo's occasional harassment, the advantage is that you can use Prince Guo's people to deal with some "targets". For example, Concubine Ying from Qingliangtai is very suitable to be sent to the Third Prince to alienate the "alliance" between the Third Prince and the Queen. If done well, you may be able to destroy both the Third Prince and the Queen at the same time without using a single soldier.

The advantage of choosing the second one is that you can avoid harassment from Prince Guo, but the disadvantage is that you will most likely fail because Prince Guo leaks the information in advance.

Or should we just kill the person?

I don't know when it started, but Nian Shilan's emotions became increasingly indifferent, but the desire to kill people often flashed in his heart. Is there something wrong?

Realizing that something was wrong, Nian Shilan hurried to the space to look for the answer in the book, and endured the murderous and irritable Prince Ganguo and left.

"I am aware of the prince's proposal, but I need time to consider it and cannot give an immediate response."

"Your Majesty, please go back first."

After saying that, without paying any attention to Prince Guo, Nian Shilan got up and went straight into the inner room. Prince Guo, who was kicked out, stayed where he was, confused, feeling helpless and aggrieved.

Do you want to cooperate or not? The Imperial Concubine just left without giving a clear answer...

Because of his overwhelming love for Nian Shilan, Prince Guo had only one goal from the beginning to the end, which was to get Nian Shilan. Since he couldn't get Nian Shilan's heart, he would find a way to get Nian Shilan!

Prince Guo is confident that he will not perform worse than the emperor. As long as Nian Shilan is willing to give him the opportunity to get close to her, sooner or later he will get what he wants and achieve mutual affection and mutual understanding with his sweetheart.

And their son will become the next emperor, ascending the supreme throne with his unwillingness and the desire of the Nian family! Win-win, win-win!

After returning to the inner room, Nian Shilan began to open the space and look through the box of miscellaneous books he had received from Fairy Jinghuan. He spent a whole night reading all the books in the box from beginning to end, but he did not find any introduction about the inexplicable murderous intent.

"Oh, no, not even this one, none of them!"

Nian Shilan was disappointed and even began to doubt whether she was wrong and whether those murderous intentions arose only because Prince Guo was too troublesome in this life. But after careful consideration, Nian Shilan still confirmed her previous suspicion that there was something wrong with this murderous intention.

"Why exactly?"

It is obvious that Prince Guo has not had much contact with me, and even if I dislike him and think he will cause trouble to others, I know after watching the plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" that Prince Guo's devotion to Zhen Huan, or to the woman he truly loves, is real. With this premise, even if I don't trust Prince Guo and he is willing to help me just because he loves me, I should believe that he will give up leaking the secret for love, especially after experiencing An Lingrong in that life, I should not doubt Prince Guo's sincerity.

“Is it because of karma?”

But cause and effect are two-way. It is very common to be involved in cause and effect after saving someone. Even if it is to get rid of the power of cause and effect, you would not want to kill the other person as soon as you see him/her. You are obviously not such a bloodthirsty person, right?

“Is it because of merit?”

Apart from this, Nian Shilan couldn't think of any other reason. She would no longer be affected by the resentment of traders and have emotions that were not her own, so this point could be eliminated. After excluding the influence of traders, the only thing that could cause an impact must be something that belongs to her.

Nian Shilan's true form is a soul-calling bird without a body, only a soul, nothing else. In Nian Shilan's soul, besides consciousness, the only thing left is merit.

Thinking of this, Nian Shilan calmed down, got into position, turned his five hearts to the sky, and began to look inward and try to find his own problems. According to his previous habits, Nian Shilan first concentrated on finding the line of merit from the line of cause and effect extending outward from his body, and then began to absorb it.

In the world of "Knowing Your Destiny", she was an empress who worked hard to govern the country. She not only prevented the country from declining and the people from suffering, but also changed the direction of the world, improved the status of women, and gained a lot of merit. Later in the world of "Dream of Red Mansions", she successfully cultivated a heart of merit and embarked on the great path by relying on the merits of "Knowing Your Destiny".

In "Dream of Red Mansions", as a famous minister throughout history, he pleaded for the people and changed people's livelihood, and the merits he gained were no less than those in "Knowing Your Destiny". Therefore, in this world today, Nian Shilan will make rapid progress and become more and more proficient in absorbing merits.

But the strange thing was that today, when Nian Shilan looked inward to absorb the merits, she found that the merits that had just been absorbed had dissipated again within less than an incense stick of time.

"Strange, why can't it be absorbed?"

After trying several times and confirming that he could not absorb it, Nian Shilan had no choice but to take out the booklet that recorded the cultivation method and start studying it.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve cultivated a heart of merit this time, but after taking out the cultivation booklet and opening it again, Nian Shilan sees a more detailed method of cultivating merit than the last time.

“Is this finally being unblocked after reaching the threshold?”

After complaining, Nian Shilan started to research again. The good news was that he found the reason for the murderous intent. The bad news was that he wanted to become a saint by accumulating merits, but it would not work even if he had enough merits without passing the test.

After cultivating the five organs of merit, if one wants to continue to absorb merit and cultivate the merit meridians, one needs to undergo the test of heaven. During this process, Nian Shilan's emotions will be magnified, disgust, killing, jealousy, all the bad emotions will be unconsciously magnified. Only when one can resist the malice in one's heart while one's emotions are magnified can one break through.
