The man behind Zhou Ninghai froze when he heard Nian Shilan's words. Seeing Zhou Ninghai subconsciously wanting to follow, he didn't expect Nian Shilan's next words to make his heart sink to the bottom.
"I asked Zhou Ninghai to go alone, why are you following me?"
Nian Shilan looked at him coldly, then glanced at Xiao Shi, who nodded.
Although Nian Shilan had doubts in her heart, she had it all figured out.
He took the people to his bedroom.
"Empress, you are back."
As soon as Songzhi saw Nian Shilan and his party coming back, he hurried over.
"how's it going?"
Nian Shilan was asking Zhen Huan.
"My sister didn't wake up in one part, and she was talking in her sleep in the other part. I'm afraid she was frightened."
Zhen Huan held Shen Meizhuang's hand and didn't leave even a step. Looking at Shen Meizhuang's appearance, she felt extremely hateful in her heart.
"Songzhi, you and Jinxi stay here to help Caiyue take care of Hui Guiren. Sister Zhen, come with me."
Zhen Huan heard that Nian Shilan asked her people and hers to stay, but not Xiao Shi. She probably found that person, so she quickly stood up.
In fact, Zhen Huan can't say she trusts or doesn't trust Jin Xi now, but the current situation is special and there can't be any surprises.
"Liu Zhu, you also need to stay. Huanbi can come with me alone."
"yes."
Although Liu Zhu was impatient, he sincerely protected Zhen Huan. He understood what Zhen Huan said.
Then Nian Shilan took everyone out.
When they arrived at the main hall, except for the few people who had followed Nian Shilan just now, everyone else was under guard.
Zhen Huan didn't know what Nian Shilan meant, but she didn't speak, so she didn't rush to ask.
After sitting for a while, Zhou Ninghai came back.
"Go back to your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
"Xiao Shi, look, I just said that I wanted to get something for Hui Gui, but it was him."
As soon as Nian Shilan's words came out, not only Zhou Ninghai was confused, but Zhen Huan was also a little confused.
She originally thought that Nian Shilan and the others recognized the person, but they couldn't take him away, but she never thought that it was really someone from Nian Shilan's palace.
Zhou Ninghai was confused because there were not many people in this room, so he couldn't be talking about himself, right?
Then there is only one eunuch in this room, and that is his cousin, Xu Ming.
"Empress, young master, this slave is definitely him."
Xiao Shi knelt in front of Nian Shilan and said: "He lured the slave to come to Yikun Palace, saying that you are the queen and you want to reward our little master."
Nian Shilan looked at Xu Ming with sinister eyes: "Tell me about it."
"The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged. The slave has never met this aunt, and I don't know why I offended her."
Xu Ming is also smart. When Nian Shilan didn't let him go just now, he was worried that something would go wrong. So Yiyi is thinking about how to excuse himself.
"Really? Then I don't know how she wronged you."
Nian Shilan smiled charmingly and said, "If I remember correctly, didn't you ask for leave and leave the palace due to something happened at home? When did you come back? I didn't know at all."
After standing up, he looked at Zhou Ninghai: "Zhou Ninghai, do you have anything to say?"
When Zhou Ninghai heard this, he didn't know where he was. This Xu Ming suddenly appeared when he was outside. He said that he had just come back and saw that something had happened. He was afraid that Zhou Ninghai would be too busy, so he sang a song after him. around.
Zhou Ninghai didn't think much about it at first, but after hearing what he just said, he understood it all at once.
"Mother, I don't know when he came back. It's just that he suddenly appeared when something happened just now."
Zhou Ninghai and Xu Ming have been inseparable relatives for a long time. Zhou Ninghai has no relatives in his family, so this cousin still found him through many connections. He said that he knew that he was now on duty in Yikun Palace and wanted to be transferred here. Zhou Ninghai thought it was not a big deal, but he and Nian Shilan just said that he was an old friend of his and transferred him here.
"Come here, fight."
Nian Shilan still believed in Zhou Ninghai. After all, he was his confidant, so after listening to Zhou Ninghai's words, he didn't ask any questions and just called someone over to start the fight.
"This slave is unjust. Concubine Hua, please spare my life. I just saw something was wrong and wanted to help."
Xu Ming never thought that Nian Shilan would not give him a chance to defend himself.
"My dear, please wait a moment."
Zhen Huan listened to Xu Ming's words but spoke: "It's not appropriate to beat him like this. It will bring bad reputation to the empress if word spreads. Let me ask him a few questions."
Although Nian Shilan said nothing, his eyes were obviously approving.
"My father-in-law, when did you return to the palace?"
Zhen Huan asked casually.
"Hai Shi."
Xu Ming answered quickly.
"Why does father-in-law remember it so clearly?"
Zhen Huan smiled and gave Zhou Ninghai a look. Of course he understood and went down immediately.
Xu Ming also guessed that Zhou Ninghai would go to the palace gate to check the files, so he didn't panic.
"Although it is not close from the palace gate to Yikun Palace, my father-in-law walked fast enough. Sister Mei fell into the water at the same time as my father-in-law entered the palace, but within a short time of sister Mei falling into the water, my father-in-law had already arrived at Qianli Pond. Look, My father-in-law has good leg strength."
Zhen Huan's words are actually nonsense.
Since Xu Ming dared to say it was Haishi, he would definitely not find anything at the entrance of the palace, but Zhen Huan changed the time when Shen Meizhuang fell into the water. Let's see what he would do.
"My young master is joking. When I arrived at Qianli Pond, I had already walked as long as a stick of incense. Even if I walked faster, I wouldn't be able to arrive in an instant."
Xu Ming was not stupid and naturally thought that Zhen Huan was deceiving him.
"You mean that I and Mr. Wan don't even know the time anymore, right?"
Nian Shilan understood Zhen Huan's words and immediately took over.
"My slave didn't mean that. I was just telling the truth."
Xu Ming quickly thought of a way in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhen Huan to be the first to say: "No matter what your intentions are, you will definitely not be able to stay in Yikun Palace any longer, but I think you have also heard of the reputation of Concubine Hua. You can't go anywhere without Yikun Palace."
This is a naked threat.
But before Xu Ming could speak, Nian Shilan thought of something else.
"Do you really think I don't know anything? Do you really think I don't know who the person you met on the road is? Even though he changed his clothes, I also know how protective he was just now. Holding you."
Nian Shilan just suddenly thought that the person who would push Shen Meizhuang was Jiang Fuhai.
After all, when they entered just now, Jiang Fuhai was arguing with Zhou Ninghai, but he did not embarrass Xu Ming.
And, well, Nian Shilan was also talking nonsense, just to make Xu Ming confused.
