Although Xu Ming didn't believe what Nian Shilan said, looking at Nian Shilan's determined look, he couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
So he was afraid that if he spoke too much he would make a mistake, so he kept silent and said nothing.
Nian Shilan saw that he was silent and believed it was him even more.
After taking a look at Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan also knew that this was no small matter, so Xu Ming probably wouldn't admit it.
Zhen Huan glanced at Xiao Shi. She and Nian Shilan couldn't ask any more questions. They only wanted to ask Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi is a follower of Shen Meizhuang, and she is not an ordinary little girl.
"Little Master, since the father-in-law said that our little master came back after he fell into the water, then I would like to ask the father-in-law, who was at the Qianli Pond when the father-in-law came back? Of course I was there, so who else was there?"
Xiao Shi looked at Xu Ming and asked, "My father-in-law also said that he came back to help, didn't he?"
"Yes, when the servant arrives, Concubine Hua will be there and Hui Gui will be there."
Xu Ming naturally knew that no matter how he answered, they could all say he was lying, but he had to answer.
"You are really amazing. How did you see me here?"
Nian Shilan smiled: "I didn't know about this until Xin Chang came over, but you saw me at the scene?"
"Why aren't you here?"
Xu Ming subconsciously retorted, but quickly held back.
But Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan understood everything.
"Come here, take him down and beat him until he tells the truth."
This time Zhen Huan didn't stop him.
"Don't tell anyone what happened today. Wait until Huigui wakes up before making plans."
Now there are only Xiao Shi and Huan Bi in the room, so Nian Shilan's words can be regarded as being said to them.
But these two are his confidants, so there is nothing to fear.
"Empress."
Zhen Huan walked to Nian Shilan and said, "With this name, he cannot and dare not tell the truth."
"I know this, but we can't just let it go."
Nian Shilan nodded and said, "Now that the queen is judging people over there, I guess this matter will be settled in the end."
"Yeah, maybe they will say that this is a matter in your palace and push this Xu Ming out."
Zhen Huan thought that Nian Shilan called her over to review Xu Ming because she was afraid that she would misunderstand.
Nian Shilan also guessed Zhen Huan's thoughts, and these were her true thoughts.
"Sister Zhen, to be honest, I am really afraid that you will misunderstand me. Although I, Nian Shilan, have a bad personality and may have done some bad things in the past, I have always been upright and I just do what I do. If it’s not done, it’s not done.”
Nian Shilan took Zhen Huan's hand and said, "I will do the next thing. You just need to take good care of Sister Shen."
"Empress, what are you going to do?"
Zhen Huan looked at Nian Shilan, a little confused.
"No matter what happens, just pretend that you don't know about it. Then you just complain about Hui Gui. Early tomorrow morning, I will take people to see the emperor and just say that he was wronged."
Nian Shilan had her own plans, and she also wanted to see what kind of medicine the queen was selling in the gourd. Does she want Shen Meizhuang to frame her, or does she just want to create discord between them.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Zhen Huan thought that Nian Shilan also had her own ideas in her heart, but now all she could do was listen to her.
At dawn the next day, before the emperor went to court, Nian Shilan took people to Xianfu Palace.
"Is there any movement over there at Yikun Palace?"
The queen didn't sleep well that night. Although the emperor asked her to investigate yesterday's incident, she knew what was going on, so she asked Jiang Fuhai to go through the motions. But that Xu Ming followed Nian Shilan last night I haven't received any messages since I got back, and I don't know if something happened.
"Concubine Hua went to Xianfu Palace early in the morning."
Jian Qiu said with some worry: "The servants were guarded outside Yikun Palace. No one came out all night last night, but Concubine Hua took Zhou Ninghai to Xianfu Palace early in the morning."
"Only Zhou Ninghai?"
The queen felt something was wrong: "Where is Songzhi?"
"Following Concubine Hua are Toshiba and Ganoderma. I didn't see Songzhi. She may be helping to take care of Huigui."
The queen thought for a while and said, "Go and call Jiang Fuhai, and we will go to Xianfu Palace as well."
"yes."
After Jianqiu finished speaking, he hurried to call someone.
Nian Shilan cried so hard when she arrived at Xianfu Palace. Nian Shilan, who had always been strong, suddenly acted like this. The emperor had never seen her like this.
"Shi Lan, what's going on? Get up quickly."
After hearing the emperor's words, Feng Ruozhao quickly walked over and helped Nian Shilan up: "Yes, Concubine Hua, don't cry yet, but has something happened to Hui Gui?"
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me, otherwise I won't be able to survive."
Nian Shilan said while crying: "Jing Fei, you are not Hui Guiren, but this palace. I really can't live anymore."
"You see you cried as soon as you came in. You have to say what's wrong first before you can let the emperor make the decision for you."
Feng Ruozhao had never seen Nian Shilan like this before, and he didn't know how to cooperate.
"Something happened to Hui Gui last night, and I felt extremely guilty. After all, something happened just after I left Yikun Palace, so I thought of calling everyone in the palace together to ask if anyone had seen it. Arrived. But unexpectedly, when I was ordering people, Xiao Shi suddenly pointed at one of my servants and said that it was the words he asked me to pass on. I was so angry that I had someone beat him a few times, but I didn’t expect that, did not expect...."
Nian Shilan stopped here: "Unexpectedly, he falsely accused the Queen, saying that the Queen asked him to do this, and that it was Jiang Fuhai who pushed Hui Guiren into the water. I was so angry that I beat him a little. Serious. I was afraid that Sister Zhen would hear it, so I didn’t sleep all night. So I came over very early in the morning to plead guilty, and also asked the Emperor to clear my name."
The emperor was a little moved when he heard Nian Shilan's words, but he was also confused. Since he was from the Queen's faction, how could he just take the beating if he couldn't bear it?
But Concubine Jing on the side also understood somewhat. Although she knew that there might be some lies in what Nian Shilan said, she must have some evidence.
"Concubine Hua, please sit down quickly,"
Feng Ruozhao helped Nian Shilan sit down. Nian Shilan also reached out and patted Feng Ruozhao's arm, but his other hand pinched her deeply where the emperor could not see it.
Feng Ruozhao looked into Nian Shilan's eyes and heard Nian Shilan say aggrievedly: "You have lived with me since the palace. You know my temper well. If I hadn't been wronged, how could I be like this? ?”
