The emperor lowered his head, obviously he didn't want this to be the case.
"So if Dali Temple gets involved, Princess Tong Jia will be even more afraid."
Nian Shilan said it for sure.
But the woman who was following Princess Tong Jia seemed to know something.
"I have already ordered Zhen Yuandao to investigate. There will definitely be news."
The emperor comforted Nian Shilan and said: "Your brother probably doesn't know yet, but I guess if they can make such a big noise, your brother will know about it in a few days. By then, your brother will be impatient Come back soon."
"This is a good thing. It just allows my brother to stop going back after picking him up. It also saves people from being suspicious of my brother every day."
Nian Shilan said angrily.
"Haha, only you dare to say this."
The emperor smiled and patted Nian Shilan: "I heard that Shu Yue was ill this morning."
"No, I just went to see you. Shu Yue is allergic."
Then Nian Shilan told the emperor what Xin Guiren said to him, but he only said that it was his suspicion and did not mention Xing Guiren.
After all, if the emperor knew that these words came from Xinguiren's mouth, he would be on guard against Xinguiren and her family.
Who makes his Nian family fearful? As long as he gets involved, the emperor will be wary.
"This harem is getting unclean."
The emperor smiled after hearing this: "My daughters have become tools that they can use for everything."
"But speaking of it, it took a lot of effort for them to insert someone into Yikun Palace."
In fact, Nian Shilan was still suspicious of the queen. Although the queen was banned, it was impossible for her to know nothing about what was going on outside.
My own Yikun Palace is not something anyone would want to cram into, and it is easy for everyone to cram it in.
What she was afraid of was this person, and the queen had been setting up a trap for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that there was really nothing we could do now, we might not have even planned to expose it.
"You can do whatever you want, just go ahead."
The emperor didn't say much, only expressed his support.
With the emperor's words, Nian Shilan felt more confident.
Whether it was someone arranged by the queen or not, Nian Shilan didn't care.
When Nian Shilan left Yangxin Palace, he went to Chengqian Palace first.
Zhen Yuandao was arranged by the emperor to investigate the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, and Zhen Huan naturally received the news.
So as soon as I saw Nian Shilan coming, I understood what Nian Shilan meant.
In fact, even if Nian Shilan doesn't come, Zhen Huan will write a letter to her father, asking him to check it carefully.
But Zhen Huan didn't expect that Nian Shilan asked Zhen Huan to tell her father and just check it out.
"Concubine, I don't particularly understand what the empress means."
Zhen Huan really didn't understand what Nian Shilan meant.
"If Princess Tong Jia is found at once this time, then this clue will be considered broken."
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "But if all the evidence points to the Duke of Guo, and Princess Tong Jia doesn't know about it, then the people behind it will come to her for something. At that time, if we investigate again, it will be terrible It would be much easier to check.”
"But there is also Mr. Longkodo behind Princess Tong Jia."
Zhen Huan said with some worry: "Mr. Longkodo belongs to the emperor..."
"It doesn't matter."
Nian Shilan knew what Zhen Huan wanted to say, but Zhen Huan didn't know that Nian Shilan knew how much the emperor disliked Longkodo. If Longkodo dares to protect Princess Tong Jia, I am afraid that the emperor will use this to get rid of Longkodo first.
"Princess Tong Jia has no heirs, and the Duke's palace only has two concubines. This branch will probably decline. Longkodo will not care about it."
Although Zhen Huan didn't know why Nian Shilan was so sure, she was willing to believe Nian Shilan. She quickly wrote a letter to her father according to Nian Shilan's wishes and sent someone to deliver it.
Nian Shilan arranged things and then slowly walked to the palace.
"Empress, you are back."
As soon as Nian Shilan and Songzhi arrived at the palace, Lingzhi hurriedly came over to take Shang Shilan's cloak, and then whispered: "Ye Guiren is here, waiting for you inside."
When Nian Shilan heard this, Yehenala Zhixue?
What was she waiting for?
Although I don't know what she is thinking, since she is here and waiting here, she must have something to say. If she doesn't want to see her, she has no choice but to see her.
"Have someone bring some snacks in."
Nian Shilan nodded and continued walking inside.
When Ye Guiren saw Nian Shilan coming back, he stood up and saluted Nian Shilan.
"Greetings to the imperial concubine."
"Get up."
Nian Shilan couldn't be said to be polite, but he didn't make things difficult either.
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine."
Ye Guiren stood up and looked at Nian Shilan with a slight smile: "I heard that something happened at my mother's house last night, so I came here to see if there is anything I can do to help."
Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows after listening to Ye Guiren's words. How can you help?
Ye Gui is so smart, how could he not think of Nian Shilan's thoughts?
"Of course, I know that I am weak alone. Although I can't do much, it would be good if I can provide some clues to the empress."
Nian Shilan felt more interesting after listening to Ye Guiren's words and said: "Then I would like to thank Ye Guiren. I wonder what kind of clues Ye Guiren will provide me?"
Ye Guiren said nothing but glanced at Songzhi behind Nian Shilan. It was obvious that she didn't want anyone to know.
But Nian Shilan didn't necessarily want to know her clues. He just looked at Ye Guiren with a confused look on his face.
Seeing Nian Shilan like this, Ye Guiren didn't get angry, and even the expression on his face didn't change.
"I was thinking that since this matter concerns General Nian, would it be more appropriate for the Queen to listen to it alone?"
"No need. Songzhi is my dowry, there is nothing she can't listen to."
Nian Shilan did not answer Ye Guiren's words, but looked a little impatient.
In fact, Nian Shilan was curious about what kind of clues Ye Guiren had. Whether it was true or false, Nian Shilan probably needed to investigate.
"It seems that the concubine is redundant. In this case, the concubine will retire."
When Ye Guiren heard Nian Shilan's words, he felt calmer.
He came to send her a message, but she didn't care at all. It was something that had nothing to do with him. Judging from Nian Shilan's attitude, he could guess that he was probably here to seek peace. It seemed that Nian Shilan didn't want to be associated with him anymore.
"Ye Guiren, walk slowly."
Nian Shilan didn't keep her at all, he just left if she wanted.
After Ye Guiren left, Songzhi asked, "Does the empress not believe Ye Guiren?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but I believe it very much. I'm afraid the clues she mentioned are very useful, but we may not be able to find them out if we want to."
Nian Shilan said calmly: "It's just that if we really listen to her clues, we may have to work with her in the future."
"Ye Guiren was brought into the palace by the Queen. Madam, are you afraid of what the Queen will do?"
Songzhi didn't understand what Nian Shilan meant. Nian Shilan had told herself before that Ye Guiren would hate the queen to the core.
Or if someone who hates the Queen so much takes the initiative to form an alliance, why doesn't Nian Shilan agree?
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi's puzzled look and smiled: "Everything about Ye Guiren is our guess. What is going on between her and the Queen? We don't know anything. What if everything we see is false?" Yes, when the incident happens, we won’t have time to regret it.”
"But now the Queen has been banned. She has just entered the palace and has no deep foundation. If she wants to find someone to rely on, it is normal. Ye Guiren is favored by the emperor. If she joins our Yikun Palace, it will be very difficult for us. There won’t be any harm, right?”
Songzhi actually still doesn’t quite understand.
"But no matter what, she is a relative of the Queen Mother, and she can definitely seek refuge with the Queen Mother. But you saw her when she first entered the palace, and the Queen Mother did not like to see her. Although I do not rely entirely on the Queen Mother, I still rely on her. There's no need to be hostile to the Queen Mother, right? Especially for someone we don't know very well, it's really not worth it."
Nian Shilan sighed and said, "She is dispensable to us."
Only then did Songzhi understand what Nian Shilan meant. When someone came in, she stopped asking.
Nian Shilan originally thought that the news about his brother would come back today, but for two days in a row, no news came back.
Nian Shilan was extremely worried.
Nian Shilan had no time to deal with the harem, but Concubine Qi and Qi Guiren couldn't sit still.
Nian Shilan is not in the mood to pursue what happened before. Who knows if she will suddenly turn around and embarrass herself?
So the two people hurriedly took advantage of Nian Shilan's lack of time to meet.
"Mr. Qi, just tell the truth. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have put the medicine in those sachets. Why did you frame me?"
Concubine Qi came to Chuxiu Palace and kicked out everyone in the palace, then she asked angrily.
Qi Guiren was also wronged. She really didn't know anything about medicine. If the queen hadn't whispered it in her ears those days, how could she have remembered it?
But how could she say this to Concubine Qi? Concubine Qi wouldn't believe it, let alone Nian Shilan.
No matter how much Nian Shilan dislikes the queen, she is still the queen. Maybe both the queen and Nian Shilan don't have a good view of her.
Moreover, Qi Guiren has thought about everything in detail since he came back from Yikun Palace that day. Maybe the Queen did this.
After all, being able to know what was cooked in the imperial kitchen that day and administer the medicine without anyone noticing in Yikun Palace is something that most people really can't do.
"What Concubine Qi said, I really don't know where to start."
Qi Guiren refused to admit it: "I just asked you for a sachet, but I am suspected by the imperial concubine for no reason. I am already wronged enough, but now you have to press me like this. I still want to ask I'm asking you, you usually don't like to be these female workers, but during that time you made a lot of sachets, and invited my concubine over, but the concubine and you didn't have much to do together. I don't know. What are you thinking about?"
"Bold, is this the way you should talk to me?"
Concubine Qi is a person with no brains, and Qi Guiren has never been the most favored. How could she listen to Qi Guiren's question?
Qi Guiren smiled after listening to Concubine Qi's words: "Concubine Qi, you don't really think that concubine calling you Concubine Qi is really afraid of you, do you? If the queen hadn't raised the third elder brother, she just wanted to give him to him. Third Brother, please save your face, what do you think your status is now?"
"Even if I am not a concubine, I am still a person who has given birth to a prince. How can I be compared to someone like you?"
Concubine Qi went crazy when she heard Qi Guiren's words. It would be fine if someone with a higher status than her said this, but now she, a little noble person, dared to talk to her like this.
"Who is this concubine? To put it bluntly, you are afraid that you can't even see the emperor now, right?"
Qi Guiren said sarcastically: "Is it possible that you still want to punish the concubine? Have you forgotten that in the whole palace now, the only person who looks down upon you is not only the concubine? You can even give your own children to others, you What else can’t be done?”
Otherwise, Mr. Qi is also not smart. Even if Concubine Qi is not favored, she is still a concubine.
Moreover, you are not a holy favorite. If you provoke Concubine Qi like this, what good consequences will it have for you?
"Rebellion, rebellion, you actually dare to commit the following crime."
Concubine Qi pointed at Mr. Qi angrily, and then shouted outside: "Come here, Mr. Qi and below have committed a crime. They have spoken rudely to me and slapped me hard."
After listening to Concubine Qi's words, Mr. Qi became a little panicked when he saw that the people who came in were all Concubine Qi's people.
"Concubine Qi, you should be careful, this is the Chuxiu Palace."
"Hit her, she is just a little noble person, why can't I punish her?"
Concubine Qi could not hear what Guiren Qi said at this time. She must be punished.
Now, as soon as the people who came in heard Concubine Qi's words, someone immediately stepped forward and held Qi Guiren down.
Qi Guiren's maid hurriedly ran in when she heard the commotion. Seeing Concubine Qi's people holding down Qi Guiren, she quickly stepped forward to protect Qi Guiren.
"Concubine Qi, our young master realizes that he was wrong, please have mercy on us."
"Hit her too."
Concubine Qi didn't listen to her and was beaten one after another.
Qi Guiren received twenty slaps in a row. Cui Guo saw that Qi Guiren's face was swollen and looked ugly, so he quickly stepped forward to persuade Concubine Qi.
"Mother, it's almost done. Although you want to teach her a lesson, you can't really let others keep it. If the beating continues, Qi Gui's face will be lost."
Cui Guo said softly.
Concubine Qi looked at Qi Guiren and asked, "Qi Guiren, do you know your mistake?"
"Concubine, I know, I know it's wrong."
Mr. Qi has naturally learned his lesson and learned well. How can he dare to say that he is right?
"Since you know you are wrong, I don't want to embarrass you too much. Let her go."
Concubine Qi said she would let Mr. Qi go, but when she turned her head, she saw the maid on the ground who had just protected Mr. Qi. She was really sincere to Mr. Qi.
"Send her to the Criminal Punishment Department and let her learn the rules. If she commits any of the following crimes in the future, she won't have to live anymore."
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please let me go."
