The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 507 Human Skin Mask
When Nian Shilan saw Concubine Wan's expression, she knew that she was right.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her tone became even colder.

"Qian Qing dared to commit suicide in front of me. It must be because he took advantage of you.

The greater benefit must have been obtained from Empress Dowager De,
Only then can she not care about her own life. I am curious,
What kind of benefit can make a person give up his life? "

Concubine Wan bit her lip, trembling with fear and not daring to speak.

Year of the Landau.

"Can you promise Queen Mother De that she has some leverage over you?"

Concubine Wan lowered her head, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

"I don't have any evidence against you, but the Empress Dowager De accidentally saw me and I became ill.

Empress Dowager De asked someone to give me a kind of ointment. After taking it,
It can make me forget the pain that is eating away at my bones.
Whenever the disease was about to break out, Empress Dowager De would send someone to bring the ointment.

The ointment seemed addictive, and in order to relieve the pain, I had no choice but to obey the orders of Empress Dowager De. "

Nian Shilan frowned. The poison in Concubine Wan's body was planted by someone she had planted.

I am the only one who has the antidote, and I mix it into the pills given to Concubine Wan every month.

The amount was not enough to detoxify her, but it could get her through the difficult period when the poison was taking effect.

Nian Shilan never expected that Empress Dowager De had something that was comparable to the antidote in her own hand. She was curious about what kind of medicine it was.

"Do you still have that ointment?"

Concubine Wan shook her head.

"Each time the Empress Dowager De sent me ointment, she would watch me take it.
There was never any left. I, the concubine, also wanted to secretly keep some,

Find someone to see if he can make it according to the medicine, but the person is watching closely.
Once, the concubine secretly bit off a little and hid it under her tongue, but it was discovered by that man.

He also warned my concubines that if it happened again, he would not give them medicine.

I am afraid of the pain of thousands of ants gnawing at my bones. I don’t want to try it again!"

Nian Shilan became even more confused and couldn't help but ask.

"What does the ointment smell like?"

Concubine Wan recalled and said.

"That ointment has a very strange fragrance, I have never smelled anything like it.

But after using the ointment, my whole body became hot, and I didn't dare to do anything else.

I can only take cold showers over and over again to feel better."

Nian Shilan nodded. Yes, this description reminded her of something.

Something that can make people feel comfortable all over.

I heard from my brother that that thing was very popular among border residents for some time.

Some border residents do not do any productive work all day long, but just smoke that stuff at home, and then under the influence of it, they corrupt the local morals.

My brother said that if that thing is used properly, it can be a medicine.

If it is not used properly and is allowed to spread, it will be enough to overthrow the rule of the court!

So under my brother's rule, that thing was not allowed to see the light of day. The homes of the border residents were all searched, and my brother copied a lot of that thing, just to ensure that the border residents could live a good life.

Nian Shilan looked at the ground, where there was black bloodstains left by Qian Qing when he fell down.

"These days, I need you to do something for me.

If you do well, I will not pursue your previous mistakes.

If I don’t do well, I don’t mind telling the emperor everything.

You dared to use Qian Qing to bribe Shuang Jiang, you must have known that something would happen one day.

I said, you are a smart person and you have left a way out for yourself.

Just tell the public that Qian Qing had an acute illness and died suddenly, and I will have someone deal with her body myself." When Concubine Wan saw that Nian Shilan changed the subject and stopped asking about the ointment, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Nian Shilan would not even let her use the ointment.

It was almost time to take the medicine, and she really didn't want to suffer the pain of being eaten by thousands of ants any longer.

"Yes, Your Majesty, just give your orders. I will never dare to disobey you in the slightest."

Nian Shilan glanced at Concubine Wan and saw that she lowered her head and looked submissive, just as gentle as she had been at the beginning.

"As long as this is done, I will cure the poison in your body."

Then she motioned for Concubine Wan to lean over and whispered the matter to her.

When Nian Shilan was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and looked into Concubine Wan's eyes and said.

"Your father's whereabouts are unknown, but your mother, the former second daughter of the Cha family, Cha Banxue,
Now I am living well in the capital. If you are obedient, I will arrange for you and your daughter to meet."

Concubine Wan was extremely shocked. She was eager to step forward and ask Nian Shilan again, but was stopped by Xiao Linzi who followed her.

"My lord, please stay. You just need to do what the master tells you to do. The master never breaks his promises."

Concubine Wan watched Nian Shilan and his men leave in a mighty procession. One of the eunuchs turned around and glanced at her with a look that seemed full of affection.

But when that glance fell into Concubine Wan's eyes, she felt a chill all over her body.

Nian Shilan returned to Qingliang Palace, dismissed everyone and looked at the eunuch in front of her.

"I asked you to pretend to be someone else, but that's unfair to you."

The eunuch laughed and first took off the hat on his head, then gently lifted a corner of his face, and with a "hiss", he actually tore off a piece of face.

Under the skin was Yunli's smiling face.

"I have no grievance in doing things for Sister Lan! I just saw that Lady Wan glanced at me.
I was so frightened that I even fainted. Why is that?"

Yunli took the dough in his hand, looked at it, and talked to himself.

"I think this kid is pretty good-looking! He's almost catching up with me!

Why did you scare Lady Wan like that? ! "

Nian Shilan looked at Yunli with a genuine smile on her face. She shook her head, seeming helpless.

"You are still young, there are many things I cannot tell you because they will scare you.

You just need to know that I won't harm you. Quickly ask Xiao Linzi to take you to wash your face.
If you wear this human skin mask for too long, you might get a rash on your face."

When Yunli heard the words "human skin mask", he was so scared that he threw the mask in his hand away and jumped up.

"Human skin?! Ahhhh, I don't want this! Tell someone to take it away!"

Nian Shilan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Yunli thought that the mask was peeled off a person's face.

she explained with a smile.

"Look at what you have accomplished. Although this thing is called a human skin mask, it is not taken from another person's face.

I'm not that cruel. This is just tanned animal skin.

It was made into a human face by a master. Look at you, in just a moment,
The fair face became even paler out of fear, and really became the pretty boy described in the book."

Nian Shilan looked at Yunli with narrow eyes, and smiled secretly with her handkerchief covering her lips.

Yunli then realized that it was not made of human skin. Adding to that he was mocked by Nian Shilan for being timid, his face turned red and white.

He tugged at his eunuch clothes uncomfortably and said awkwardly.

"I worked so hard for Sister Lan, but Sister Lan laughed at me.

From now on, Sister Lan will not be able to ask me to do anything anymore!"

Nian Shilan then put away the smile on his face and spoke seriously.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Let's get down to business.
I don't know what's wrong with your mother, Concubine Shu, these days.
Suddenly, he asked the emperor to become a monk and practice Buddhism.
When you have time, go see her first, and then come to my place."

When Yunli heard about his mother, he immediately asked Xiao Linzi to take him out.
