Nian Shilan looked at Longkodo's look and knew that he had a chance of winning.
Although Longkodo cared about his brother, it didn't mean he didn't care about the emperor.
"What about the secret guards? Now that I've come this far, I never thought of stopping."
Longkodo said: "I can help him rise to power, and naturally I can also destroy him."
"Guess where your family is now? Will Zhungeer, whom you always believed in, send troops as you wish?"
Nian Shilan asked calmly instead.
Longkoduo laughed when he heard Nian Shilan's words: "What? You want to threaten me with my family? Let me tell you, since I can be in the palace, my family will naturally have arrangements. To Zhungeer,"
Longko took a look at the Queen Mother and said, "If you hadn't married Chao Gui, I would still have believed you. But now Princess Chao Gui only hates the Qing Dynasty and will definitely help me succeed."
"Do you think you can still leave Shoukang Palace today?"
Nian Shilan said disdainfully: "What's more, although Princess Gui of the Chao Dynasty married into Zhungeer, she was very affectionate with Zhungeer Khan. How could she have hatred for the Qing Dynasty?"
Obviously Longkodo didn't believe what Nian Shilan said, and Nian Shilan didn't need his belief, so he asked: "Where is Brother Six? What you want is just an obedient emperor. Are the lives of our people worth it?”
Nian Shilan saw that Zhou Ninghai had come in quietly and nodded towards him, so there was no need to waste more time with Long Ke.
"Longkodo, you broke into the inner palace secretly, falsely conveyed the Queen Mother's decree, and held my brother's concubines hostage. Do you know your guilt?"
Nian Shilan didn't wait for Longkoduo to answer her, and her expression changed, as if she was not the person who just talked to Longkoduo. Longkoduo didn't react for a while.
"Here comes someone, escort me."
Longkodo finally reacted.
But it's not surprising that Long Keduo couldn't react for a while. Nian Shilan dared to break into Shoukang Palace. He thought that Nian Shilan wouldn't be so reckless, but he didn't expect that Nian Shilan would move so fast.
Longkodo looked at the people who came in, but smiled instead.
"Do you think I will be unprepared to enter the palace alone?"
"Of course you won't enter the palace so recklessly, but since I can say this, Lord Longkodo, I advise you to be practical."
Nian Shilan gave Zhou Ninghai a wink, and Zhou Ninghai immediately brought him up.
As soon as Longkodo saw his little daughter, his eyes widened.
Impossible, impossible.
How is this possible when he has obviously sent away his family members?
"Amma."
"Lord Longkodo, I advise you not to resist for the sake of your family and your son."
Zhou Ninghai pushed the little girl to Longkodo's side.
"My lord, there is no way you can leave."
Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Besides, this matter is not something you can bear alone. You'd better tell the truth for the sake of your family."
Nian Shilan looked at Longkodo and then recalled what the emperor said to him when he left the Old Summer Palace.
"Longkodo has secretly arranged for his family to leave the capital. If he says that he has not taken any action, I will never believe it."
"How did the Emperor know?"
Nian Shilan was really shocked when he heard the emperor's words.
"You don't have to worry about these things. If you hadn't wanted to return to the palace, I wouldn't have said this to you."
The emperor did not tell Nian Shilan the reason, but he continued: "After you return to the palace, I have arranged people in the palace to take care of you. As long as you find anything wrong, you can mobilize them at any time."
"Then how can I contact the emperor?"
Nian Shilan asked tentatively.
"As soon as you mobilize the imperial army, someone will come back to me. You don't have to worry."
Nian Shilan saw that the emperor was so sure, so he stopped asking.
So when Nian Shilan saw Zhou Ninghai come back, he knew that he should have contacted the person arranged by the emperor.
Nian Shilan looked at Longkodo while thinking about what the emperor said to him at that time.
Fortunately, he still felt that what he had done was so flawless, otherwise he would have been part of the emperor's plan.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind."
At this time, Longkodo thought that these things were done by Nian Shilan alone.
Or the Nian family's help.
It was only at this moment that Nian Shilan figured out why the emperor let him return to the palace so happily.
Longkodo was the one who helped the emperor ascend the throne. If the emperor dealt with Longkodo at this time, it would be the emperor's fault in the eyes of outsiders, regardless of whether Longkodo was really blameless.
But it would be different if Nian Shilan were to handle it.
Nian Shilan was exposing Longkodo throughout the whole process, and the emperor had no involvement at all.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was Longkodo who had behaved improperly, and then the Nian family took advantage of it. The emperor was heartbroken and had no choice but to have his own autonomy.
Thinking of this, Nian Shilan glanced at the queen mother on the bed.
Could it be that the Queen Mother knew about this situation?
Nian Shilan really couldn't see the Queen Mother's emotions.
But thinking about the past life, it was indeed the Queen Mother who poured poisonous wine for Longkodo. So in this life, she cooperated with the Emperor to end the person she had loved and hated her whole life. After thinking about it, the Queen Mother had nothing to be unwilling to do.
"Sir, I advise you to be practical."
Nian Shilan actually felt a little sympathy for Longkodo at this moment.
But Longkodo couldn't understand what Nian Shilan meant.
"So what if you capture my family? If I can't see them, you will never find Brother Six again."
Longkodo would never have thought that the Queen Mother would betray him, would he?
But why didn't he think about it, if the Queen Mother was really so good to him and believed in him, how could he take care of the Queen Mother?
"Brother Six, are you sure that the person in this palace is really Brother Six?"
As soon as Nian Shilan finished speaking, not only Longkodo but also the Queen Mother suddenly raised their heads.
With just this move by the Queen Mother, Nian Shilan was sure that the Queen Mother knew the Emperor's plan.
Regardless of her original intention or not, the Queen Mother helped the Emperor.
Longkoduo was stunned when he heard Nian Shilan's slightly sighing words.
"Sir, if you are willing to let go, I am willing to let your family go."
When Nian Shilan said this, he actually didn't believe it. Even if he could let it go, would the emperor agree?
But at this time, Longkodo really had no other way out.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Unexpectedly, the emperor came back.
Nian Shilan glanced at Longkodo sympathetically.
The emperor was able to return to the palace so quickly. I am afraid that after he left yesterday, the emperor came back not long ago, but did not enter the palace. Otherwise, Longkodo would not be able to receive the news.
"Someone, take down Longkodo."
This time it was the Emperor who spoke.
As soon as the emperor's words came out, Longkodo's guilt was basically confirmed.
"Empress Huang, are you okay?"
The emperor walked to the Queen Mother's bed and said: "My son was in the Old Summer Palace. He heard the report from the imperial concubine's entourage, saying that the imperial concubine and concubine Hui were assassinated on the road. They were blocked from entering the palace. I was very worried, so I hurried back."
"All is well with the Ai family."
The Queen Mother nodded expressionlessly.
The emperor then turned to look at Nian Shilan: "Concubine, are you okay? Are you injured?"
"Your Majesty, I am concerned about you. Everything is fine with me."
Nian Shilan's heart also relaxed: "Longkodo held the Queen Mother and Sixth Brother hostage, and falsely conveyed the Queen Mother's decree to imprison Concubine Duan and Concubine Hui."
"I heard about it on the way back."
The emperor did not hide what he knew: "I have asked Su Peisheng to lead people to search the palace."
Listening to the emperor's words, Longkodo seemed to finally understand at this moment that he had fallen into a trap.
"Ha ha ha ha....."
Longkodo laughed and said: "I, Longkodo, have been a soldier all my life, but I never thought that in the end, I would fall into the scheme of your mother and son."
Longkodo suddenly looked at the Queen Mother with hatred and said, "Chengbi, you are becoming more and more like a Queen Mother."
"Ai Jia is the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, so she naturally has her own mission."
Since Longkodo also guessed it, the Queen Mother had nothing to hide.
"If you, the Tong Jia clan, weren't so proud of yourself, why would you be like this?"
"Are we so proud of ourselves? If it weren't for us, the Tong Jia clan, you, mother and son, would have died countless times. How would you be where you are today?"
After listening to Longkodo's words, Nian Shilan knew that he didn't want to live at all.
"Your Majesty, please help me find Concubine Hui and Concubine Duan."
Nian Shilan didn't want to hear it anymore. She also knew that she couldn't hear the next words, so she wanted to leave quickly.
"No, Su Peisheng and the others will go look for him. You have been worried for so long. Go back to the palace and have a good rest."
The emperor did not ask Nian Shilan to find anyone.
Nian Shilan just wanted to leave, so he followed the emperor's instructions and left.
After leaving Shoukang Palace, Nian Shilan quickly called Zhou Ninghai over.
"what happened."
Nian Shilan asked.
"Mother, when I went to inform the Imperial Army, they already told me that Longkodo's daughter was already on the way, so I waited for a while."
Zhou Ninghai said in a low voice: "If this servant guessed correctly, the Emperor may have returned at that time."
Nian Shilan really broke into a cold sweat when she listened to Zhou Ninghai's words.
Yes, how could the emperor who can win from nine sons not have his own strategy?
The emperor is already very suspicious, and he will not relax his surveillance of these important ministers.
The more Nian Shilan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she did not dare to stay any longer.
Nian Shilan returned to Yikun Palace, but she did not expect that Concubine Jing and Guiren Xin were waiting for her with Shu Yue and Minghui.
"Originally An Guiren was also there, but Concubine Qian wasn't feeling well over there, so I asked her to go back and take care of her."
When Concubine Jing saw Nian Shilan coming back, she quickly said, "The two children are asleep. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't go back to Xianfu Palace."
Nian Shilan walked to the bed and looked at the two children, both of whom were sleeping peacefully. She felt relieved.
"I would like to thank you here."
Nian Shilan said it sincerely.
Thinking of how dangerous it would be on her way back, Nian Shilan didn't know if she would have hurt them if she had brought her two children with her.
"Don't talk about it. On the way back, we also heard about what happened in the palace, and we were very worried about you and Concubine Hui."
Concubine Jing frowned and said, "How come this happens to you every time?"
Nian Shilan smiled bitterly after hearing Concubine Jing's words. Why did she want to meet her?
But there are some things that Xinguiren is still here, and I can't say more.
"When I have time, I really want to go to the Baohua Palace to burn incense sticks."
Nian Shilan just joked and didn't say anything.
"Since the empress has come back, then the concubine will go back as well."
Xingui stood up and said, "I don't know what's going on with Concubine Hui, so I'll go back and wait for news."
"Okay, if there is any news, please let someone tell me."
Although Nian Shilan knew that Shen Meizhuang and Qi Yuebin would be fine, Nian Shilan was always uneasy when he didn't see them.
After Xingui left, Nian Shilan had people carry Shu Yue and Minghui down.
When Concubine Jing saw Nian Shilan asking someone to carry the two princesses down, she guessed that she had something to say to her.
Sure enough, when there was no one in the hall, Nian Shilan whispered: "Not to mention how it was spread outside, but I am afraid that this time, the Longkodo and Tongjia clans will not be able to stand up again."
"He can do things like force her to have a baby, so naturally she won't end up well."
Concubine Jing felt that Nian Shilan's words were a bit strange.
Nian Shilan shook his head and said, "I guess Longkodo fell into the emperor's trap."
"what do you mean?"
Concubine Jing naturally couldn't believe it when she heard Nian Shilan's words.
The emperor's trap?
But Nian Shilan nodded and said: "Otherwise, the preparations in the palace would not be that complete. The Queen Mother also knows it, and I am afraid that the Sixth Brother has been replaced a long time ago. It is not the Sixth Brother who was arrested by Longkoduo." elder brother."
"Such a big game of chess?"
Concubine Jing suppressed the shock in her heart and said, "I'm afraid the emperor's arrangement will not last for one or two days."
"Yes, it's not right to go to the Old Summer Palace at this time. But the Emperor went without saying anything, and even left the Queen Mother and Sixth Brother behind."
Nian Shilan also thinks so: "Furthermore, the emperor just told me about the establishment of the queen and asked me not to tell it. Then something happened in the palace. Could it be that the emperor spread the news. "
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Concubine Jing grabbed Nian Shilan's hand, then shook her head and said no more.
Nian Shilan understood what Concubine Jing meant.
"What I'm afraid of now is whether the emperor's spies will be spread all over the capital."
Nian Shilan is worried about whether his Nianfu also has an informant, mainly because his brother is injured now.
"It won't happen in the house, but outside the house, I'm afraid there will be people."
Concubine Jing is telling the truth.
It would be impossible if there were people from the emperor in every government.
But if you want people to monitor each government, the emperor can still do it.
Nian Shilan was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to say to her brother.
There was chaos on her side, and of course the Nian Mansion was also in chaos.
If Su Deyin hadn't been relatively calm, Nian Gengyao would have entered the palace at this time.
"I heard that the emperor has returned to the palace. Shilan will definitely be fine, so don't worry anymore."
