"Look at me, I actually said something that made my queen unhappy."
Zhen Huan looked at Nian Shilan and quickly changed her words: "How do you plan to deal with the people outside?"
Nian Shilan glanced at the rain outside. It seemed that it had no intention of stopping, and she had no intention of taking care of it.
"Let's see tomorrow. Neither the left nor the right will accuse them unjustly."
"It's getting late, and I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, so I'll take Longyue back first."
Zhen Huan didn't want to comment on Nian Shilan's decision. Seeing that the weather was getting worse, she was about to leave.
Nian Shilan handed Longyue to Zhen Huan and said, "It's really annoying to have such a person in the dark."
"Now that you are the queen, these are even more indispensable."
Zhen Huan comforted Nian Shilan and walked out.
"Empress,"
At this time, Xiao Lizi came in despite the rain.
"explain."
Nian Shilan watched him come in without any surprise.
"Xizhi said he had something to say."
Xiao Lizi glanced at Zhen Huan and said, "It seems that the child is unconscious."
"Take her to the side hall."
Nian Shilan didn't look troubled and continued to see Zhen Huan off.
"Your Majesty, don't send me away. I will go back first."
Listening to the conversation between Xiao Lizi and Nian Shilan, Zhen Huan understood in her heart that there was a result.
Nian Shilan didn't say anything more, nodded with a smile and walked towards the side hall.
Nian Shilan was walking down the corridor and saw Li Zhi holding his child and saying something outside.
"Where's Xu Zhi?"
Nian Shilan asked Songzhi.
"Already brought it back."
At first, Xu Zhi refused to leave, but later her body couldn't support it anymore and she was taken away.
Nian Shilan didn't say anything, and seemed to just ask casually.
When Nian Shilan entered the side hall, Xi Zhi's whole body was soaked, looking even weaker and more pitiful.
"Do you know? Originally, I was thinking that if you still don't say anything tonight, then Li Zhi and that child will be made into pigeons tomorrow."
Nian Shilan spoke slowly as if gossiping: "I have only read about human pigs in books, but I have never actually seen one. I don't know what it will be like."
Xizhi really shuddered when she heard Nian Shilan's words. No matter how heavy the rain outside was, she was not as frightened as Nian Shilan's words.
Yes, it's not fear, it's fear.
Because she knew Nian Shilan could do it.
If Shen'er is really made into a human pig, she would rather die.
"Queen, I really know that I was wrong."
Xi Zhi said: "But Shen'er is innocent, please let him go."
"You don't think Li Zhi is innocent? You only think your son is innocent?"
Nian Shilan asked with a smile.
"What's wrong with him?"
Unexpectedly, what Xi Zhi said was extremely cold-blooded.
"An ungrateful person like him deserves a bad death."
"Then you still live with him?"
Nian Shilan didn't quite understand what she said.
"If it weren't for him, I could have lived a good life. If it weren't for him, how could I be kicked out of Nian Mansion?"
However, Xi Zhi hated Li Zhi with all his heart: "It's all because of him that this slave has become like this."
"I don't want to hear about your past. You know what I want to know."
Nian Shilan didn't want to waste time with her here, so she waved her hand impatiently.
"This slave knows, but my dear, I risk my life to beg you to let Shen'er go. He really doesn't know anything."
Xi Zhi knew that trying to intercede with Nian Shilan at this time might not be accepted, but her son was still young, so she had to give it a try.
"If you are no longer here, do you think Xu Zhi will let him go?"
Nian Shilan asked instead of answering.
"I have a house on the outskirts of Beijing, and there are people I trust living in it. All you have to do is send Shen'er there. I don't ask for anything else."
Xiuzhi seemed to have thought of this day for a long time, and Li Zhi was not in the plan.
"Tell me about your news and see if it's worth it for me to do this for you."
Nian Shilan did not agree first.
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Songzhi took the people out and guarded the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
After almost half an hour, Nian Shilan walked out.
"Empress."
Songzhi hurried forward when she saw Nian Shilan coming out.
"Send Xi Zhi and her son back to Nian Mansion overnight, and tell the public that Xi Zhi will die and only Li Zhi will be left."
Nian Shilan's voice was a little cold and even more confused.
Songzhi didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she agreed repeatedly, and then hurried to find Zhou Ninghai.
Nian Shilan looked at the heavy rain outside and seemed to be laughing at her sadness.
Li Zhiyi was kneeling outside. Early the next morning, Nian Shilan sent him to the Shenxing Department, saying that he didn't want to see him, but he didn't want to let him go either.
It seems that the matter of Minghui poisoning has just been settled.
After the heavy rain, the sky became brighter.
Nian Shilan invited all the concubines to go to the theater today, so he got up earlier.
When Nian Shilan came, everyone had already arrived and were waiting for her.
Sitting on both sides of Nian Shilan were Concubine Hui and Concubine Duan, and below them were Concubine Xi and Concubine Jing.
Concubine Hui has six elder brothers. Now, except for Nian Shilan, she is obviously the first among the concubines.
Concubine Duan has the longest seniority, and with Princess Wen Yi beside her, her position cannot be underestimated.
Concubine Xi was deeply loved by the emperor, and there was also Princess Longyue. Although Concubine Jing had no heirs, she was still an old man in the palace.
Nian Shilan looked at the West Concubine and didn't know what it felt like.
Among the other concubines, there is now only one concubine Qian, and the rest are all nobles and Chang Zai. It is time to advance to the next rank.
I had mentioned it to the emperor before, and I thought there should be news today.
Sure enough, Su Peisheng arrived before Nian Shilan could sit down.
"Greetings to the Queen, and greetings to all my young masters."
"Eunuch Su is here at this time, but what's the matter?"
Nian Shilan calculated that Su Peisheng would have nothing else to do, so he asked with a smile.
"The emperor had a few words for the servant to tell the empress in person. If this is not the case, the servant came over quickly."
What Su Peisheng brought was not an imperial edict, which Nian Shilan did not expect.
Nian Shilan listened to Su Peisheng's words and followed him outside.
"But it's about canonization?"
"Your Majesty is wise. Everything should be done according to your Majesty's wishes. However, the Emperor will not give up on this imperial edict. My Majesty has only ascended to the throne. This right is given to your Majesty."
Listening to Su Peisheng's words, Nian Shilan knew that the emperor was trying to establish a good relationship between himself and the people in the harem.
"Then please, father-in-law, please thank the emperor for me."
Nian Shilan smiled and asked Songzhi to give Su Peisheng a reward, and then went in to listen to the play.
