After Songzhi sent Chunxi away, she had to tell Nian Shilan the news whether she believed it or not.
"Is it Chunxi who came here?"
Nian Shilan heard that she was the maid that Ye Guiren brought into the palace, so it must have been Ye Guiren's own intention.
"Yes, but she also said that the emperor did not stay in Yanxi Palace tonight, but went to Chengqian Palace."
Songzhi nodded and said, "Empress, what exactly does Ye Guiren mean? Can her words be trusted?"
"How can it be unbelievable?"
Nian Shilan had different ideas from Songzhi. She felt that Ye Guiren was right to do this.
After all, although Ye Guiren obeys the Queen's orders, she hates the Queen the most. Is Ye Guiren eager to find Concubine Qian to identify the Queen?
"Then do we still have to have people search the East Sixth Palace?"
After listening to Songzhi's words, Nian Shilan didn't know whether to search or not.
But she thought about Zhen Huan's words carefully, and Jin Xi appeared inexplicably. Zhen Huan should not do this without reason.
Ye Guiren did not see Concubine Qian. Nian Shilan had guessed this from the beginning, and I believe Zhen Huan would have thought of it herself.
But Zhen Huan still followed Ye Guiren's words, which meant that Zhen Huan knew that Concubine Qian was in the Sixth Palace of the West.
Compared to Ye Guiren, Nian Shilan naturally believed in Zhen Huan more.
"Wait a minute. That's it for tonight. We'll wait until tomorrow to talk about everything."
Nian Shilan thought about Zhen Huan's appearance when she left, and believed that Zhen Huan was sure.
As long as Liu Yinyin is fine, Nian Shilan won't be so anxious.
Early the next morning, Zhen Huan came with people.
"Any news from last night?"
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan. Although she came to inquire about news, there was no hint of urgency on her face.
"Of course there is no news."
Nian Shilan smiled: "This is also good news, isn't it?"
As soon as Zhen Huan heard Nian Shilan's words, she knew that Nian Shilan understood what she meant. She didn't say anything more. She just looked at Nian Shilan and smiled mysteriously.
"Okay, as long as she is fine, I won't be in a hurry."
Nian Shilan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she believed in Zhen Huan, she was always worried if she didn't hear Zhen Huan admit it personally.
"The one I have to worry about right now is the Queen."
Zhen Huan said: "If Concubine Qian is not found for a day, the queen will not be allowed to leave Jingren Palace for a day."
"That's what I say, but everything is not so absolute."
Nian Shilan sighed and said: "The person next to Ye Guiren yesterday has not found out the news yet. You can also see Ye Guiren's behavior last night. With her here, the Queen should be fine."
"Yes, with Ye Gui and the Queen Mother, the Queen will be fine."
Zhen Huan said: "But what if there is no Ye Guiren?"
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan and wondered if she was so angry at Ye Gui a few days ago. Why did she speak so blatantly?
"This Ye Guiren's thoughts are much more powerful than the queen's."
As Nian Shilan spoke, he told Zhen Huan about the coming of spring last night.
But Zhen Huan doesn't think so.
"She just wants to use our hands to help her get rid of the queen."
Zhen Huan said: "But if they can restrain each other, why should we drive them both out?"
Nian Shilan listened to Zhen Huan's words and immediately understood what Zhen Huan meant.
"Does Concubine Qian mean the same thing?
"Of course Concubine Qian will not care about Ye Guiren. Her only hatred is the Queen."
Zhen Huan had already sent yesterday's news to Concubine Qian very early in the morning: "But she also knows that the majestic queen is not something she can just accuse, so she is willing to cooperate with us."
Nian Shilan nodded and said nothing more.
"I heard from the emperor last night that there seems to be news about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, but there should be no news from the Queen's side."
Zhen Huan glanced at Nian Shilan and said, "The emperor has asked my father not to intervene in the case of the Duke's Mansion, and let others investigate."
"Because it involves the concubines in the palace."
Nian Shilan had long thought that this would happen. Once the harem was involved, Zhen Yuandao must avoid suspicion.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Zhen Huan said: "However, I am afraid that the empress cannot think of who is involved."
Nian Shilan wondered who else it could be, but she was just the queen.
But listening to Zhen Huan, why is there anyone else?
"It's Fucha Guihe,"
Zhen Huan paused, looked at Nian Shilan and said, "With Concubine Duan."
When he heard about the noble Fucha, Nian Shilan didn't take it seriously at all. Fucha's family couldn't make any trouble, they just became a scapegoat for others.
But when Zhen Huan paused and then looked at him, Nian Shilan knew this person and was afraid that he wouldn't believe it.
I didn't expect that the Qi family would be involved.
Yes, Nian Shilan was thinking about the Qi family, not Qi Yuebin.
Qi Yuebin had been hiding from the world for many years. Even when she was forced to do so, Concubine Duan never thought of looking for the Qi family.
But now her life is getting better day by day. How could she let the Qi family attack her?
If it weren't for Qi Yuebin's intention, then only the Qi family would be involved.
"Your Majesty, do you have 100%25 trust in Concubine Duan?"
Zhen Huan asked.
If we talk about 100%25 trust, Nian Shilan has 100%25 trust in none of the concubines in the palace except for a few palace people around him.
But if he said he didn't believe Concubine Duan, he couldn't convince himself.
Obviously Zhen Huan doesn't think so.
"After I entered the palace, I heard that you and Concubine Duan had a grudge for many years. Even if you are relieved, does Concubine Duan have no hatred for you at all?"
Listening to Zhen Huan's words, Nian Shilan naturally couldn't explain the grudge between himself and Concubine Duan.
How could he explain his previous torture to Concubine Duan in just a few words?
But if Concubine Duan refuses to forgive herself, then there is no need to pretend to reconcile with herself?
"I still don't think it will be Concubine Duan."
Nian Shilan still insisted on her own ideas.
Zhen Huan didn't say anything as she listened, just nodded and said: "If the empress really has no doubts about Concubine Duan, then it can be confirmed that the Qi family has been taken advantage of. And then she used this to instigate a fight between the empress and Concubine Duan. After all, you two have a good relationship now, which may not be a good thing for other people."
How could Nian Shilan not know this?
Not to mention the other concubines, even the emperor may not be willing to see himself on good terms with Concubine Duan.
After all, both of them came from a family of military commanders, so Nian Shilan told the emperor early that his brother would hand over military power, and the emperor was relieved.
However, the person who took advantage of this matter didn't know yet, and this gave her the opportunity to get close to the Qi family.
"Mother, what are your plans next?"
What Zhen Huan asked was not about Liu Yinyin, but about Concubine Duan.
Nian Shilan naturally understood the meaning of Zhen Huan's words.
