"Get up."
The emperor said: "I met Li's concubine outside."
"Yes, she dragged me to say that I was wronged, but I still don't know what it is."
That's what Nian Shilan said, but after hearing Li Bin's words just now, he had already guessed it.
This matter had nothing to do with him at all. Even if the queen wanted to blame him, it would be difficult.
"Yeah, that's too much."
The queen said, "Then Mrs. Yu actually said that Concubine Li instigated her to say that, but she had no evidence. But she said so, and the emperor also sent someone to interrogate Xiao Yinzi, and the servant was also recruited."
"so what?"
Nian Shilan looked at the queen and couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.
"I was discussing with the Queen. There has been a lot of unrest in the palace recently, so I was worried that the palace would be uneasy, so I wanted to go out to pray for blessings. However, the Ministry of Revenue requested an order to set up a well field, but the officials below had different opinions. Some were in favor. There are objections.”
The emperor sighed as he spoke: "I thought that instead of letting them quarrel with each other, it would be better for me to go and take a look myself. It's just on the outskirts of Beijing anyway, and I can come back in a few days."
"The fields are the livelihood of the people. Although there is not peace in the palace, fortunately, the Queen is still here. Your Majesty, you can go without worries."
Nian Shilan took the initiative to ignore the emperor's previous words about going to pray with the queen. If she guessed correctly, the queen wanted to leave the matter of co-managing the Sixth Palace in her hands again. She would have been extremely happy before, but now, she would not take over this mess.
"What I mean is that the emperor is busy, but I am going to pray for the country, and I will only be there for a few days. I just think that no one can take care of the big and small things in the palace, and I want to let my sister ....”
"Your Majesty, praying for the country is a big deal. Naturally, it would be more sincere for the Emperor to do it in person."
Nian Shilan interrupted the queen with a smile: "Besides, you have been coming and going for several days, and I can't take care of the many matters in the palace. Now that Shu Yue is young, I have to serve the Queen Mother every day. , I’m afraid I’m not up to the task.”
The queen's face turned pale, and she didn't expect that Nian Shilan would slap her back before she finished speaking.
The emperor was somewhat satisfied after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
Originally, he wanted to wait until he came back to pray for blessings, and he didn't like Nian Shilan's involvement in the harem.
Finally, Nian Shilan no longer wanted to be in charge of the harem. The queen didn't know what she was thinking, and wanted to hand over the power of co-managing the Sixth Palace to Nian Shilan. The emperor was a little worried at first, but after hearing what Nian Shilan said, he felt more at ease.
"In that case, let's do as Concubine Hua said."
The emperor didn't give the queen a chance to speak again, and settled the matter in one sentence.
Nian Shilan was relieved after hearing the emperor's words, and she was happy when she saw the queen's bad expression.
"Yes, when will your Majesty set out?"
Nian Shilan no longer mentioned praying at all, but was only concerned about the emperor's trip.
"Everything has been prepared and we can leave immediately."
The emperor felt warm in his heart after hearing Nian Shilan's words, and his tone became gentler.
Naturally, Nian Shilan couldn't say anything useless at this time, thinking that she should take care of the emperor's health first.
"The emperor is out of the palace for inspection, so you have to take care of everything yourself."
"Well, I wanted to take Su Peisheng with me, but he is a eunuch and it is not convenient for him to go out. When I was a prince, I often went on patrols for the late emperor, so I know how to take care of myself. You should take good care of Shu Yue in the palace. If you have time Go see Hui Gui and Wan Gui and wait for my return."
Nian Shilan saw that the emperor and queen probably had something to say, so he took the initiative to retreat.
When Li Bi came out, she was still kneeling there. Nian Shilan didn't stop no matter how she called him.
"Go to Chengqian Palace."
Nian Shilan left the Yangxin Hall and went to see Zhen Huan first.
"What's wrong today? You're not talking."
As soon as Nian Shilan entered the room, she saw Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong were there, but the atmosphere was not right.
"The queen is here, sit down quickly."
Shen Meizhuang said with a smile, gave up the place to Nian Shilan, and sat aside.
"I just feel so worried."
Zhen Huan patted her chest and said.
"What's going on? I just went to Yangxin Hall and heard that the Yu family poisoned you. What happened?"
Nian Shilan saw Zhen Huan's bad expression and thought it was caused by drugs.
"I hate being plotted against, and I hate Huasui and Xiaoyinzi very much. But the emperor really ordered them to be killed, and I don't feel happy."
After all, Zhen Huan was only a teenage girl, and it was the first time she encountered such a thing, so she naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Yeah, I don't feel happy when I see people killing people. What's more, after knocking down one person, I don't know how many more will follow."
Shen Meizhuang also answered the conversation, with a melancholy look on his face, probably thinking of his falling into the water a few days ago.
Before Nian Shilan opened her mouth, she heard An Lingrong's words: "Let's take it one by one. As long as we work together, no one can harm us. Sister, it's true that she didn't tell me that such a big thing happened. , before I came here, I heard from the Empress that Mrs. Yu had plotted to kill my sister, and even pretended to be her sister to seize the emperor's grace."
Nian Shilan laughed out loud after hearing An Lingrong's words.
Zhen Huan glanced at Nian Shilan and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so she said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's upsetting and scary to hear about this kind of thing, so it's better not to know."
"But I regard my sister as my own sister. How can there be any reason why my sister doesn't know about it if something happens to her?"
"That's what I said. Didn't you know that this is coming?"
Nian Shilan just looked down on An Lingrong, so he never spoke politely to her: "Besides, the three of you entered the palace together, right? Why does An Changzai only regard Wan Guiren as his biological sister? What about Hui Guiren?" ? Huigui fell into the water a few days ago, but I didn’t see An Changzai coming to visit."
As soon as Nian Shilan finished speaking, An Lingrong's expression changed even more. This Nian Shilan was really arrogant and could say anything to his face.
"A few days ago, I was infected with cold..."
"You are infected with the wind and cold, and you are not dead. Why don't you come and send a message? Now I see that Mr. Wan Gui is fine. On the contrary, the wind and cold are better, and you can go out to visit."
Nian Shilan spoke very clearly, and even the most stupid person could understand what she meant.
In fact, since Nian Shilan mentioned An Lingrong's thoughts intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Meizhuang had already paid attention to her.
Moreover, she just said that she got the news from the Queen, so she might have already been on the Queen's side.
Could she not know how Shen Meizhuang fell into the water?
