In fact, Nian Shilan was completely overly worried at this time, because Zhen Huan never suspected that it was her.
This life is different from the previous life. In the previous life, Nian Shilan put too many obstacles in the way of Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, so her hostility towards the two people could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
But in this life, Nian Shilan was on good terms with them, and there was really no reason to harm Shen Meizhuang.
"My beloved, get up first."
The emperor did not say whether he believed it or not, but the words "love my concubine" were enough to express his attitude.
"Empress, Sister Mei and I both believe it was not you who did it."
Zhen Huan also expressed her position in one sentence.
"Although my sister is willing to believe me, I know that I am still suspicious, so I just asked Zhou Ninghai to look at all the roads on the other side. No one can leave. This side is also guarded, no matter who it is I want to use this matter to see Sister Hui and put the blame on my concubine. I must prove my innocence."
Nian Shilan's words were sincere, and Zhen Huan was very moved when she saw them.
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, Xin Changzai came in with Concubine Jing, but behind them was the Queen.
Nian Shilan glanced at Zhen Huan, and they both frowned at the same time.
The reason why Nian Shilan didn't let Shen Meizhuang return to the palace was that Yikun Palace was close and he didn't want the matter to spread.
So even when he went to pick up things for Shen Meizhuang, Xin Chang was there, and no one around him was sent, just for fear of being noticed. But she did not send anyone to inform the queen.
Obviously Zhen Huan also thought of this. She glanced at Nian Shilan and asked Nian Shilan. Nian Shilan shook her head incomprehensibly, and Zhen Huan had an idea.
"Good luck to the Queen."
"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."
The queen did not expect that the emperor originally turned over Concubine Qi's sign tonight, but now he came with Zhen Huan.
But she must be steady at this time: "I heard that Mr. Hui Gui fell into the water, so I came here to have a look."
"The Queen's news is really well-informed. I have already sent people to seal off the scene. I didn't expect that it still reached the ears of the Queen, and it came in such a timely manner."
Nian Shilan looked sarcastic and almost asked the queen if her people had not returned.
Although the queen's face turned bad after hearing Nian Shilan's words, she still maintained the majesty that a queen should have.
"Concubine Hua, is this the rule you should follow when talking to me?"
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I'm just worried that Sister Hui will suffer this crime for no reason. I'm a little worried about taking the blame."
Nian Shilan didn't even look at the queen. Anyway, her disrespect didn't last for a day or two.
"How did the queen know?"
The emperor was not stupid. He guessed something after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
"My concubine had a headache, so she asked Jianqiu to go to the imperial hospital to get some medicine and come back. She happened to meet someone from Concubine Hua's palace who went to ask for the imperial doctor. After careful questioning, she found out that Hui Gui had fallen into the water, so she came over quickly. "
The queen had already thought of the reason, so she was naturally not afraid.
Unexpectedly, Nian Shilan was not a good person. Just to prevent an accident, she specifically asked Songzhi to hire an imperial physician.
"Songzhi, tell me."
Nian Shilan first called Songzhi to come over and talk.
Songzhi stood aside and naturally heard the queen's words, and immediately knelt down: "I'm unjust. I didn't see Aunt Jianqiu when I went there. Moreover, I invited Dr. Jiang and came back in a hurry without even a moment's notice. hold up."
Songzhi's words were also very clever. What she said was that she didn't waste a moment or delay Shen Meizhuang's treatment, so naturally she didn't chat with others.
"This servant is not asking about Songzhi. When I saw Songzhi leaving in a hurry with Imperial Doctor Jiang, I asked the guards. After asking several people, I found out that Huigui had fallen into the water."
It's not stupid to cut off the autumn leaves. How can the Queen talk about such a thing?
But what they didn't expect was that before they came, Nian Shilan had already told the guards that Nian Shilan had taken care of them.
But the emperor ignored Jianqiu and Songzhi's words, and asked Xin Changzai: "Did you meet anyone when you came back from Qianli Pond to Yikun Palace? Palace officials too?"
"No, Qianli Pond is very close to Yikun Palace. Although the concubine and the girl walked quickly, they didn't meet anyone."
Xin Changzai also told the truth. Although he didn't know what the emperor meant by asking, it was always right to tell the truth.
The emperor's eyes changed slightly when he looked at the queen, and he just looked at her deeply. When the queen looked at the emperor, she felt bad. Did she miss something?
"You said you asked several guards before you found out that Huigui had fallen into the water."
The emperor looked at Jian Qiu and said, "Who are the guards? Su Peisheng goes and brings them."
Jianqiu quickly thought about the guards on duty tonight, and then reported a few names.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's tea cup suddenly fell out.
"Concubine Hua said that when she discovered that Mr. Hui Gui had fallen into the water, she immediately asked all the guards tonight to watch. How did these people you mentioned get out?"
Jianqiu's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at the queen subconsciously. She saw that the queen's expression was not good either, but she was still very calm.
"Jianqiu, what's going on?"
The queen glanced at Nian Shilan as she spoke. Nian Shilan noticed it, and Zhen Huan also noticed it.
Jianqiu saw the queen's signal and quickly thought of a solution.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. Your Majesty, I lied. I just didn't want Concubine Hua to misunderstand."
Nian Shilan listened to Jianqiu's words and asked, "Why do I misunderstand this?"
"It's true that I didn't ask the guard. I asked a distant cousin of mine. She works as an errand for Concubine Hua. I just didn't want to embarrass her, so I lied. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Really? I don't even know that there are people in Yikun Palace who don't listen to me but listen to you. I need to take a look."
Looking at the emperor's expression, Nian Shilan knew that nothing would happen to the queen today, but she couldn't let them escape like this.
"Songzhi goes and calls everyone in the palace. There is no room for such people in my palace."
"Auntie, I wonder what your cousin's name is?"
Songzhi asked promptly.
Jian Qiu knew that there was nothing he could do, and this was also allowed by the Queen, so he could only report the people they arranged in Yikun Palace.
When Songzhi heard the name, she thought to herself, why does this person have no impression of him?
But he immediately went down to look for someone, and soon the man named Qiuzhi was brought.
In fact, when Nian Shilan listened to Qiu Zhi, she didn't have a deep impression on her. After all, her close confidants were doing all the things close to her, and she didn't have to remember so many people.
