"Your Majesty, I don't know anything. I just embroidered a sachet."
Concubine Qi's explanation was a little weak.
But Nian Shilan actually didn't doubt Concubine Qi, after all, she really didn't have the brains.
"Mr. Qi, what do you have to say?"
Nian Shilan asked confidently.
"Of course I don't know what to say, but I really didn't do anything. If the empress refuses to let me go, I have nothing to say."
Qi Guiren knew that Nian Shilan looked down on her. Although she didn't know why, she could feel Nian Shilan's hostility.
Nian Shilan nodded after listening to the three people's words: "Since you all say that you are wronged, I have an idea. Why don't you come and listen."
Nian Shilan glanced at several people and was about to say something when Su Peisheng came in unexpectedly.
"Greetings to the imperial concubine, and greetings to all my young masters."
"Eunuch Su, please wake me up, but what does the emperor have to tell me?"
Nian Shilan looked at Su Peisheng's expression and guessed that something was serious.
"Yes, I have something to talk to the imperial concubine alone."
Su Peisheng didn't waste any time and spoke first.
Nian Shilan understood immediately: "Just retreat first."
"Concubine, please retire."
As soon as the concubines heard Nian Shilan's words, they all left quickly, and no one dared to waste time.
After everyone left, Nian Shilan looked at Su Peisheng.
"Mother, the general is afraid something is going to happen."
Su Peisheng said softly.
"What?"
When Nian Shilan heard that something happened to his brother, he couldn't sit still and stood up quickly: "Please tell me carefully, isn't my brother fine? He also said that he would be back after the New Year, why? Something happened?"
"My dear, please don't worry. I've only heard about it now and haven't confirmed it yet."
Su Peisheng looked at Nian Shilan and hurriedly comforted him: "Early this morning, Mr. Zhang Tingyu took the Zhezi into the Yangxin Hall and didn't come out all morning. At noon, the servant went in to remind the emperor to have lunch, so he just listened Master Zhang said that General Nian was so arrogant that he could no longer be reused. The servant thought for a while and felt that this was wrong. Although General Nian had a bad temper before, he has restrained himself a lot in the past two years. Why? Master Zhang suddenly said that?"
Nian Shilan nodded after listening to Su Peisheng's words. Yes, his brother has already curbed his sharpness, and his two nephews have become more and more stable. Why would Zhang Tingyu still interfere with his brother?
Zhang Tingyu is a veteran minister who is devoted to the emperor. If he is said to have been bribed, Nian Shilan will never believe it.
Then the only possibility is that my brother really did something, but it was misinterpreted and misunderstood and spread to Zhang Tingyu's ears.
But this person who deliberately misled Zhang Tingyu was probably coming for himself.
After all, he had just been made a royal concubine, and most people shouldn't cause trouble for his brother at this time. If he wanted to make sense, the only people on the queen's side could do it.
"I guess that this incident should be directed at me. If my brother is really at fault, it won't be a big mistake."
After Nian Shilan figured this out, he felt a little more at ease, but he still had to ask his brother before he felt at ease.
"My servant thinks so too. I'm afraid it has more to do with you. But just to be safe, I would like to communicate with General Nian as soon as possible. If there is something you don't know, you can think of countermeasures in advance. .”
After Su Peisheng finished speaking, he bowed and left: "I was afraid of wasting time, so I asked Xiao Xiazi to stare at her for a while, and then hurried out. Now that I have finished speaking, I have to go back quickly."
"Thank you, father-in-law. I will never forget your great kindness."
Nian Shilan was also unambiguous. He knew that Su Peisheng shouldn't stay too long, but he couldn't let Su Peisheng leave just like that: "I made snacks in the kitchen. If you take them back, just say that I asked you to pick them up."
Nian Shilan had everything in mind for Su Peisheng. After all, when Su Peisheng came just now, many people in his palace saw it.
Su Peisheng was not polite, picked him up and left.
"Songzhi."
As soon as Su Peisheng left, Nian Shilan quickly called Songzhi in.
"Empress."
Songzhi came in and saw the bad look on Nian Shilan's face, so she closed the door first.
"Immediately ask someone to go to the General's Mansion and ask my sister-in-law if my brother has received any letters recently and if he has said anything. I want to know every detail. Then let our homing pigeon go. Let my brother return to Beijing quickly."
Nian Shilan knew that now that his brother was far away in the northwest, no matter what he wanted to do, he was out of reach. Both his brothers were coming back, so he might as well come back early.
And this time, I am afraid that the emperor will be able to see through that it is the queen's problem, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence, but there is no guarantee that this kind of thing will happen next time.
The best way now is to know what happened first, whether the emperor believes it or not, and then my brother hands over the military talisman, and everything will be settled.
"Yes, I will take care of it right away."
Songzhi left after saying that.
Nian Shilan sat there motionless, thinking that if this matter was really a problem on the queen's side, it would be really difficult to handle.
Although the Ulanara clan wanted to keep their position as a suitable cultivator, they still had the Queen Mother there after all, so they couldn't go too far.
It is true that the elder brother is a general, but the emperor's throne is firmly established, and they dare not ignore the queen mother.
If it is really someone from the Queen's side, it can only mean that it is the Queen's own power.
But this kind of approach is afraid that a thoughtful person will be able to track down the person behind it, and the queen is not like this?
There is another possibility, that is, it is really not the people from the queen's side, but someone is using the queen's affairs to cause trouble, and wants everyone, including himself, to think that it is the people from the queen's side who framed his brother in order to retaliate against him.
In this way, he will naturally not let the queen go.
As soon as the queen heard that something happened to her brother, no matter what the reason, she would definitely let people seize the opportunity to get rid of her.
The two of them fought, no matter who lost or won, the emperor could not let the other side go.
I'm afraid the one who wins in the end is the real one.
Nian Shilan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when she thought of this.
Who among the people in the harem today has such a plan?
Now the concubines in the palace are either my own or the Queen's. There is no separate party at all?
If what I think is true, then this person is probably a real master.
