After listening to Nian Shilan's words, the emperor's expression changed slightly.
"Ji Bin is suffering from a mental illness. In that case, let her go home and take a look."
Nian Shilan raised his eyebrows as the emperor continued: "Since the Queen Mother has nothing to do, send the fifth elder brother to live there for a while. Just wait until Concubine Ji comes back, and then take the child back."
"Okay, then I will go and inform Concubine Ji."
Nian Shilan nodded and handed the fifth elder brother to the wet nurse: "Send the fifth elder brother to Shoukang Palace."
"emperor,"
Nian Shilan turned to the emperor and said, "This lucky concubine is also pitiful. She doesn't even know her mother is gone. No wonder she has heart disease."
The emperor was silent for a while and said: "Then let her go back and stay for a few days. See if she needs anything else and take care of it."
"Yes, I will go right away."
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he went to Ji Bin's place.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
When Ji Bin saw Nian Shilan, she knew that the matter should be done.
"The Emperor has decreed that you can go back to your parents' home to stay for a few days."
Nian Shilan said: "If you need me to do anything, just tell me first."
"I am grateful to your Majesty for your help. However, I have nothing else to ask of your Majesty when I go away. I only ask your Majesty to take good care of my fifth elder brother."
When Concubine Ji heard the news that the emperor asked her to go home, she knew that Nian Shilan must have helped her a lot.
But when Nian Shilan listened to Ji Bin's words, she could hear Tuogu's feelings.
"I can't take care of you. You know that the emperor can't ask me to take care of the fifth elder brother. Even if I have the will, I can't do it. If I hadn't just said that I would send the fifth elder brother to the Queen Mother, you wouldn't be able to take care of me. I can’t leave the palace.”
Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Ji and said, "My mother's family is the Nian family, so it is impossible for me to raise my brother. You will know the reason if you think about it carefully."
After saying that, he walked up to Concubine Ji and said, "Don't think about fighting them desperately. You are the concubine of the Emperor and the biological mother of the fifth elder brother. Your luck lies behind you. Even if it is not for anything else, it is for the fifth elder brother. , you should come back soon. No one can take the place of mother."
"I understand, thank you very much."
Ji Bin knew that Nian Shilan understood her feelings, and she couldn't bear to let go of her son.
Nian Shilan asked someone to escort Ji's concubine out of the palace, and then stood at the palace gate for a while. Songzhi came over to call her.
"Mother, it's cold outside, let's go back early."
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi: "Yes, it's getting cold, let's go back."
Nian Shilan did not expect that this time would be the last time he saw Ji Bin.
Ji Bin had been away for more than half a month. When she came back, she didn't even see her fifth elder brother, who fell ill when she first arrived.
The emperor went to see Ji's concubine and said that Ji's concubine had not seen anyone. Then half a month later, Ji's concubine passed away.
"What did you say?"
Nian Shilan stood up in disbelief when he heard the news about Ji Bin.
"My dear, don't worry."
Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan's appearance and quickly comforted her: "The emperor has already issued a decree, saying that it will be the end of the new year soon, and everything will be simple. This is also Empress Ji's own wish."
"What about fifth elder brother?"
Nian Shilan thought that the emperor didn't have many elder brothers now, so it wouldn't be a problem to have five elder brothers by the Queen Mother's side, right?
"The emperor means that the fifth elder brother is not in good health, so he has been sent to the palace to be raised."
Listening to Songzhi's words, Nian Shilan knew that it was probably Concubine Ji and the emperor who asked for this.
She doesn't want her children to be discussed, she just wants to live well.
Nian Shilan didn't know why. Although he didn't get along much with Ji Bin, now that she was gone, he felt depressed for several days.
After Concubine Ji's funeral affairs were settled, Concubine Ji's personal maid sent a letter to Nian Shilan.
The letter wrote about her family's affairs. She dealt with her concubine and the ungrateful Amma. Although her maternal grandfather's family was not involved in politics, they did business and gave her a lot of property.
Now my grandfather's health was failing and he gave all his property to himself.
Concubine Ji gave all these real estate shops to Nian Shilan. She asked for nothing else and just wanted the fifth elder brother to live a mediocre life.
Nian Shilan looked at the letter and then at the palace maid who came to deliver the letter.
So the box she was holding in her hands as soon as she came in contained some house deeds and title deeds.
"Your Majesty, our girl asked your servant to bring these to you."
The palace maid said as she handed the box to Nian Shilan: "The fifth elder brother will be sent out of the palace tomorrow. I have asked the emperor to accompany him, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again in the future."
Nian Shilan asked her to put her things on the table and then let her go.
Nian Shilan really didn't expect her to repay Ji Bin in this way when she helped him.
Now that the treasury is empty, my life is relatively easy. But Concubine Ji gave herself such a huge fortune, which was enough for her and the Nian family to live a prosperous life.
It's just that these things can't be known to the Nian family. If I don't tell them, I can't explain it. If my brother and the others know about it, I might be inflated. I have finally made the Nian family so low-key, but I can't let myself fail.
"Fifth Brother should be safer when he arrives at the palace, but if something happens, you can always have someone come to me."
Nian Shilan's words undoubtedly gave the fifth elder brother a guarantee.
The palace maid nodded and left after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
However, Nian Shilan saw that the palace maid was sensible and would not come to her easily. After all, if she wanted her fifth elder brother to grow up safely, staying away from the palace was the best way.
The next day, the fifth elder brother was sent away.
Nian Shilan didn't go to send it off.
When Zhen Huan came to see Nian Shilan, she found her sitting there, silently not speaking.
"Mother, what's going on?"
"You're here, sit down."
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan, but her expression changed: "How is Hui Bin's fetus?"
"Sister Mei, everything is fine. Concubine Jing takes good care of her."
Zhen Huan was a little cautious when speaking.
Nian Shilan nodded after listening to Zhen Huan's words: "I heard that the fifth elder brother was sent away today, and I feel very uncomfortable."
Zhen Huan understood what Nian Shilan said and said comfortingly: "Empress Ji didn't see anyone at that time. I think she was just afraid that she would be sad about it. It would be a good thing if the fifth elder brother was sent away."
Zhen Huan also knew how Nian Shilan went to save people when Ji Bin gave birth to her fifth elder brother, so she was afraid that Nian Shilan was also sad about it.
"Yes, I also know it."
Nian Shilan nodded and said: "It's just that when I think about such a good person disappearing, my heart is always empty. To say that I am in this palace, this kind of thing is not uncommon. But this time, I feel a little sad about Concubine Ji."
