Nian Shilan knew that Shen Meizhuang's craftsmanship was good, so he quickly picked it up and tasted it. It was indeed sweet and delicious.
Nian Shilan ate several pieces in a row and then stopped.
"Okay, since the snacks you made are so delicious, I will be gracious to teach you for a while."
Nian Shilan said arrogantly: "But didn't I remind you before to restrain your sharpness? Why do you have to learn to read the ledger again?"
"The emperor asked me to learn, but there is nothing I can do."
Although what Shen Meizhuang said was true, she also had her own selfish motives. She also wanted to learn it, just in case she could use it in the future.
"Okay, in that case, just ask if you don't understand anything."
Nian Shilan also knew that Shen Meizhuang was still young and would not give up until he reached the Yellow River, so he said nothing.
After hearing Nian Shilan's words, Shen Meizhuang took out a few books he had prepared and placed them in front of Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan also didn't hide anything. As long as Shen Meizhuang asked, she would tell her everything she knew.
But when Shen Meizhuang felt a little dark and wanted Songzhi to add a few more candles, Nian Shilan suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.
At this time in the previous life, didn't Shen Meizhuang fall into Qianli Pond?
At that time, I still let Zhou Ninghai do it...
Nian Shilan looked at Shenmeizhuang, who was defenseless against her at this time. Even if she had changed in this life, there were too many rebirths, so she didn't want Shenmeizhuang to suffer this disaster again.
"Songzhi will add a few more candles, and then go and tell Concubine Jing that Hui Gui will stay in Yikun Palace tonight."
Nian Shilan thought that the best way to prevent this from happening was to prevent Shen Meizhuang from leaving tonight.
But unexpectedly, Shen Meizhuang disagreed.
"My dear, this is against the rules. It's okay. I'll just leave early later."
Shen Meizhuang didn't know the truth and was afraid of causing trouble to Nian Shilan.
At this time, Xin Changzai also came over.
"Good luck to you and your noble people."
Xin Changzai bowed to Shen Meizhuang and said, "Mother, Shu Yue has gone to bed, and I will go back first."
"It's not too early, concubine, let's go back first."
As soon as Shen Meizhuang heard that Xin Changzai was leaving, he didn't want to disturb him anymore.
Nian Shilan knew that he had no suitable reason to keep him. Looking at the sky outside, it was not too dark, and Xin Chang was with him, so he said nothing more.
However, Xin Changzai came back after a while, saying that he wanted to make some clothes for Shu Yue, but he forgot to measure Shu Yue's height, so he returned.
Nian Shilan subconsciously felt bad when she heard Xin Changzai's words.
"Where's Huigui?"
"Hui Gui is waiting for me at Qianli Pond. Originally, I wanted her to go back first, but Hui Gui said it would be fine for her to go back and she happened to be there to see the fish."
As soon as Xin Changzai finished speaking, Nian Shilan quickly called someone.
"Zhou Ninghai, hurry up and go to Qianli Pond to find Mr. Hui."
The uneasiness in Nian Shi's heart grew bigger and bigger, and he no longer cared about Xin Chang's presence, so he just let Dong Zhi take her to Shu Yue's house, and he followed Song Zhi out.
But before they reached Qianli Pond, they heard Caiyue's shout.
"Someone, come quickly, Hui Gui has fallen into the water."
"Zhou Ninghai, go and call someone quickly."
Nian Shilan walked over quickly and saw that Shen Meizhuang had lost his voice.
Fortunately, Zhou Ninghai had already brought a lot of guards with him when he came. Several guards jumped down and rescued Shen Meizhuang in a short time.
"Send it to Yikun Palace quickly."
This was the closest place to Yikun Palace, so Nian Shilan quickly asked someone to take Shenmeizhuang there.
"Songzhi went to summon the imperial doctor. Zhou Ninghai led people to surround the place, including the guards patrolling tonight. No one is allowed to leave."
Nian Shilan thought that Qianli Pond was only a hundred steps away from his Yikun Palace, and even if someone deliberately pushed Shenmeizhuang, he would not be able to leave so quickly.
Moreover, he just brought people from the direction of Yikun Palace, which means that the direction he can run can only be in the opposite direction of Yikun Palace, but the opposite side is uninhabited. With so many people here, he wants to leave rashly It will definitely attract people's attention.
Zhou Ninghai naturally understood what Nian Shilan meant. Not only did he lead people to stop everyone, he also specially asked people to block the only exit and guard it himself.
Before Xin Changzai had finished measuring Shu Yue, he heard a panic outside and hurriedly walked out.
"What's going on here?"
"Xin Changzai, please go to Xianfu Palace in person and ask Concubine Jing to pack Hui Guiren's things. Just say that Hui Guiren fell into the water and don't say anything else."
Nian Shilan doesn't trust other people now, and she can't guarantee whether there is any spy in her palace: "Songzhi, go and invite the emperor."
"yes."
"yes."
Knowing that now was not the time to ask questions, Xin Chang left in a hurry after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
Fortunately, the imperial doctor came quickly and gave Shen Meizhuang some fever-reducing and calming medicine. He also said that Shen Meizhuang just caught a cold and was frightened, and there was nothing serious.
"Caiyue, how could Huigui fall into the water?"
As soon as Nian Shilan asked Caiyue, the emperor and Zhen Huan arrived unexpectedly.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
"Get up, what's going on?"
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan's anxious look. It didn't look like it was fake, so he knew that the matter had nothing to do with her.
"In the evening, Hui Gui came to talk to my concubine, and Xin Chang was there. They left together in the evening, but after a while Xin Chang came back and said that she had forgotten something, and said that Hui Gui was waiting for her at Qianli Pond. , I was a little flustered, so I took people out to look for him. Unexpectedly, I heard that Hui Gui had fallen into the water before I reached Qianli Pond. "
Nian Shilan told the truth. After speaking, he looked at Caiyue and said, "What happened in the middle?"
"After Xin Chang left, a young eunuch came over and said that Concubine Hua had a piece of good ink that she wanted to give to Hui Gui, so the young master asked Xiao Shi to get it. Then the young master said that he wanted to feed the fish, slave. I went to get fish food for my mistress, but as soon as I left, I heard the sound of falling water."
Caiyue said in a hurry, but also very specific: "When the slave was walking back, he saw someone pushing him."
"Is this true?"
Zhen Huan had doubts when she heard what she said before. Unexpectedly, Cai Yue said later that it was Sister Mei who was being pushed, and she suddenly became anxious.
As soon as Nian Shilan heard this, he knew that if he didn't get out of this matter, his goodwill towards Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang for so long would be ruined.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged."
Nian Shilan knelt down after hearing Zhen Huan's words: "I didn't send anyone to find Hui Gui. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to ask me or anyone in the palace to ask. Also, Xin Chang Zai is from When Qianlichi returns, the emperor can also ask her if she saw anyone leaving my Yikun Palace when she came back."
