Chapter 420: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 24

Since Nian Shilan was infertile and unwilling to submit to Yinzhen, no children were born in Prince Yong's mansion. Yixiu gradually relaxed her vigilance until one day when she was paying her respects, Lu Gege let out a dry heave and was diagnosed by the palace doctor as being three months pregnant.

Three months ago, Yinzhen couldn't help but go there, and just that one time, Princess Lu got pregnant. Everyone couldn't help but envy Lu Yingfeng's good luck.

Yixiu pretended for several years before she got Yinzhen to 'forgive' her and regained some power over the household. After she finally had a comfortable life, she had to return to her original job as the captain of the abortion team. She was truly born to be a hard worker.

According to the timeline, the baby in Lu Yingfeng's belly should be Yinzhen's eldest daughter, Shuhe. Nian Shilan would not take action, but she would not help Lu Yingfeng stop Yixiu's tactics or save her child.

Lu Yingfeng doesn't have what she wants, and there is no cause and effect between her and Nian Shilan. The win or loss between her and Yixiu has nothing to do with Nian Shilan.

As for saving people, there would be merits, which were too few, and Nian Shilan didn't care at all. She followed the path of great merits, what was the point of saving one person, Shuhe was not a capable person who would become famous and contribute to the world in the future, merits in the world were complicated, and saving an ordinary person would require bearing the various causes and effects of this person's future actions, if his overall merits were greater than his faults, he could gain merits, but if the faults were greater than his merits, not only would he not gain merits, but he might also be contaminated by cause and effect.

The law of cause and effect will only make Nian Shilan further away from enlightenment.

Fortunately, Lu Yingfeng had not died yet. Although the fetus was unstable, Yixiu tried various methods but managed to save it. The next year, Lu Yingfeng gave birth to a daughter, who was named Shuhe by Yinzhen.

"Shilan, how about raising Shuhe under your name?"

Yinzhen had been trying to please Nian Shilan relentlessly for the past four years, and finally the situation had eased a lot and he could get a smile from Nian Shilan. The only thing that remained unanswered was the issue of sleeping with her.

Yinzhen thought that it was because Nian Shilan had a problem with her infertility, so he proposed to adopt a child. Nian Shilan rolled her eyes in front of Yinzhen and said, "No big deal!"

"The prince doesn't feel bad for his daughter being away from her biological mother, but he wants me to be the villain."

"Why, the prince's bloodline is so noble, I can't give birth to a child, so I have to help the prince raise other people's children?"

What are you raising? What's the point? If you really want a child after the relationship is over, you can find any man. It's cheap to spend your own money to raise a child of a man you hate and another woman!

Seeing Nian Shilan losing her temper at him, Yinzhen felt as if his bones were softening. Shilan was straightforward and never acted with him. Even her temper was so good-looking.

"No, no, if Shilan doesn't want to raise him, then I won't raise him."

Since Se-lan doesn't want to, then forget it. It's fine if she doesn't raise the child. But if she really raises the child, what if Se-lan puts all her attention on the child?

Thinking about it this way, Yinzhen felt that it was good not to raise Shilan. Anyway, he would always dote on Shilan in the future, and would not let others bully her even if they didn't have children!

Lu Yingfeng successfully gave birth to Prince Yong's eldest daughter. With the flattery of her servants, she felt more confident and bolder. Sometimes when she met Nian Shilan, she would speak a little arrogantly. If Nian Shilan had not been too lazy to pay attention to her, she would have been ruined long ago.

Now, after suddenly learning that the prince wanted to give his daughter to Concubine Nian to raise, and that it was Concubine Nian who refused the prince and made him give up this idea, Lu Yingfeng was really scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Thank you, Concubine, for not making a fuss about me."

Lu Yingfeng finally realized that even if she gave birth to many children, she couldn't keep any of them as long as Nian Shilan asked. Even if Concubine Nian was a little cruel and killed her own children, I think that with the prince's love for Concubine Nian, he would definitely not punish her.

After Lu Yingfeng gave birth to Shuhe, she drifted for a while and then fell silent. Not long after, Fei Yunyan revealed that she was pregnant. However, she was too stupid and was no match for Yixiu. She suffered a miscarriage after only three months of glory.

This time, the court physician did not fool around either. Yixiu thought that since she was the concubine, she could make the court physician obey her with just a little pressure. However, she could not help but realize that the court physician was Nian Shilan's man, so he naturally told Fei Yunyan everything.

"What? You mean that the reason why I had a miscarriage was because I wore these clothes?" Fei Yunyan loved beauty, so Yixiu naturally rewarded her with a lot of good fabrics with added ingredients.

"The material used to make the princess's clothes smells of safflower, musk, strychnine and other herbs that can cause miscarriage. I think it must have been soaked in medicine."

"The tea that the princess drank every day contained powder that made her weak. The princess was weak and wore clothes made of these materials, so she couldn't keep the baby."

"It was Fu Jin! Fu Jin killed my child!"

Fei Yunyan originally suspected Nian Shilan, but Doctor Li had made it clear that all these materials and tea leaves were given to her by Fu Jin. No matter how unwilling Fei Yunyan was to believe it, she had to see the true face of the "virtuous" Fu Jin.

Fei Yunyan soon brought the matter to Yinzhen's attention. Yixiu froze in her place and refused to admit her guilt, and even wanted to put the blame on Nian Shilan. But she couldn't help but feel that the people in her hands were all Nian Shilan's people, so naturally she couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard she tried.

Now that Yinzhen was about to succeed, Prince Yong's Mansion must not allow a big scandal to occur. In the end, they just rewarded Fei Yunyan with some things to compensate for her miscarriage, and killed Fu Jin's maid Huichun as an explanation to end the matter.

However, the little power that Yixiu had was gone because of this incident. Even if Defei in the palace wanted to support her niece again, she could not resist the obvious chances of Yinzhen winning. Defei no longer had the ease with which she once controlled Yinzhen. Firstly, Yinzhen's identity would change soon, and secondly, Yinzhen no longer trusted her because of Nian Shilan's incident.

People are always like this. The more sincere they are, the less they want to be sincere. Only when they start to lose something will they panic and then want to hold on to it and start to please.

This is how Concubine De treated her son Yinzhen, and Yinzhen treated Nian Shilan the same way. However, although Concubine De wanted to please Yinzhen, she still couldn't learn to put down her airs, while Yinzhen was a little over-trained and put down his airs too much.

After all, Nian Shilan still needed Yinzhen's favor to give her the position of queen and the opportunity to get involved in the government affairs with justification in the early stage. So even though she was tired of Yinzhen, she did not humiliate him too much. She thought that after a few more days, she should use puppets again.

Everything went smoothly. In March of the 61st year of Kangxi's reign, the emperor passed away in Changchun Garden. The fourth prince Yinzhen ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Yongzheng.

What’s interesting is that when the emperor was mourning, three women in Prince Yong’s mansion fainted in succession: Lu Yingfeng, Feng Ruozhao, and Qiu Yefang, which made Yinzhen lose face.

If the imperial physician had not later diagnosed that all three were pregnant and fainted from excessive grief, Yinzhen would have almost taken their lives.
