But when the person was brought up, Nian Shilan recognized him immediately.
What's the name of Qiuzhi? Isn't this the Poria cocos from the previous life?
No wonder he agreed so simply when he asked her to frame Shen Meizhuang. It turned out to be just a matter of smooth sailing. Even if she didn't have this order, the Queen would probably let her do this, right?
As for her two names, I guess they were some kind of code words when I heard Qiuzhi.
Sure enough, when Jian Qiu saw Qiu Zhi, she immediately said: "This is my distant cousin. Qiu Zhi is her nickname. I'm used to it. Cousin, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that Concubine Hua wouldn't let me talk about Hui Guiren. thing."
After saying that, Jianqiu still looked guilty.
Fu Ling understood immediately: "It's all my slave's fault."
"I haven't asked anything yet, but I let you tell me everything."
As soon as Nian Shilan heard Jianqiu's words, she knew that she couldn't ask anything, and she wouldn't ask anything. That Poria would take everything on herself.
"Anyway, since the queen is here, should you or I investigate this matter tonight? This matter happened outside Yikun Palace, and I think I am still qualified to listen to it."
The emperor glanced at the queen. He couldn't tell what his emotion was, but his face didn't look good.
"Queen, go check it out. I will get the results tomorrow."
Zhen Huan listened to the emperor's words and said nothing, but she glanced at Nian Shilan.
"Your Majesty is also tired. Go and rest in the Concubine Jing Palace. Nothing is as important as your dragon body. It's enough to have concubines and noble people here. By the way, Xin Chang, please stay here and help me. Take care of Shu Yue."
At this time, the queen was only concerned about whether she would be discovered. What was originally a very careful plan turned out to be full of loopholes. Who still had the energy to care about whose palace the emperor went to, so he followed Nian Shilan's words and took it.
"Yes, the emperor will attend court early tomorrow, so go and rest early."
After everyone left, Xin Changzai also knew that Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan probably had something to say, so he took the initiative to go to Shu Yue's house.
"Caiyue, Xiao Shi, think about it carefully. Are there any clues left behind when Sister Mei fell into the water just now?"
When Zhen Huan saw that everyone was gone, she asked again.
In fact, when the queen came just now, she began to be suspicious, but she really couldn't think of the reason why the queen did this.
Caiyue has been serving Shen Meizhuang since she was a child. She thought about the matter again and made sure that nothing was ignored.
"No, I said everything I saw. But,"
Caiyue paused and said, "The little eunuch who came to deliver the message is a stranger. I have followed the little master to Concubine Hua's house so many times, but I have never seen her before."
"Xiao Shi, what did you find after you followed that man?"
Of course Nian Shilan knew that he was not from his own palace.
"Nothing, right."
Xiao Shi suddenly said: "When the man took me here, I passed by a man. The man seemed a bit older, but the two of them just glanced at each other but did not speak. When they were about to arrive at Yikun Palace, , we met Concubine Hua, and when we heard the sound of the young master falling into the water, we were only looking at the young master and did not notice where the little eunuch who was leading the way had gone."
"Then if you find those two people, can you recognize them?"
Nian Shilan thought that if Xiao Shi remembered the appearance of those two people, he could take her to recognize them.
"I can recognize the little eunuch who led the way, but not necessarily the one who passed by."
Xiao Shi actually felt that she could almost recognize that person, but just in case, she still wasn't as sure as she said.
"That's fine, we can't let them all run away."
Nian Shilan nodded and then looked at Zhen Huan and said: "Sister Zhen, you are here to guard Hui Gui. I have a way to let Xiao Shi recognize him. Just in case, no matter what, you Songzhi was told to do it, and everyone else must be careful."
"My dear, just go, you can rest assured here."
Zhen Huan also knew that if she arrived late, the person might run away, so she quickly let Nian Shilan and the others go.
When Nian Shilan arrived at the place where the guards were being held, he saw that Zhou Ninghai and Jiang Fuhai seemed to be having some conflict.
"Concubine Hua, you are so majestic. You can even ignore my words."
When the Queen came here, she asked Zhou Ninghai's people to withdraw and replace them with her own people. However, she didn't expect that Zhou Ninghai did not leave. Instead, she said that Concubine Hua asked him to take care of these people and that he did not dare to leave his post without authorization.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. The whole harem listens to you, who dares not to listen to you?"
Nian Shilan's tone was sarcastic, and then he continued without waiting for the queen to speak: "It's just that the current situation is special. Someone dares to harm others in the name of my concubine. I am really afraid."
"The Emperor ordered me to investigate what happened today. What, could it be that you want to take my place?"
The queen is the queen, no matter how powerful she is, she cannot lose.
"Of course not. After all, the Shen family's sister is still in my concubine's palace. I don't have that skill, but I just wanted to come over and see if there is anyone familiar here who I can help the queen recognize."
Nian Shilan also deliberately delayed time here, just to let Xiao Shi take a closer look.
Nian Shilan walked into the group of people seemingly accidentally, then raised his head and glanced at Xiao Shi, only to see Xiao Shi shake his head slightly.
Nian Shilan sighed in his heart, but did not show it.
"Okay Zhou Ninghai, since the Queen is here, you don't have to stay. Go back first. You know where they were stopped, right?"
"My slave knows this."
Zhou Ninghai took a step forward and said.
But just by taking one step forward, the person behind him was immediately exposed, and Xiao Shi's expression changed immediately.
Nian Shilan naturally saw it.
She tried to keep her expression as natural as possible, and then looked behind Zhou Ninghai. Wasn't that someone from her palace?
Why does Nian Shilan have an impression? Because he is new here, and he is the one brought by Zhou Ninghai. It was said that something happened in the family, and Nian Shilan, who was not in the palace for the first time, didn't even know when he would come back.
"Come on, in that case, let's go back."
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he saluted the queen and left in a hurry.
As soon as he entered Yikun Palace, Nian Shilan's expression changed.
"Zhou Ninghai, call our own guards and block the Yikun Palace from the inside. No one is allowed to move around at will. They all stay in their own rooms. If anyone doesn't listen, the first one will be beaten to death."
Zhou Ninghai was shocked when he heard Nian Shilan's words. He had followed Nian Shilan all the way from the palace, so he naturally knew who the Nian family's guards were. Hearing Nian Shilan's words, he quickly looked around subconsciously. But Nian Shilan looked determined.
