When Huang Guiquan heard someone calling him, he quickly put down what he was doing.
But when he entered the hall and saw Shen Meizhuang and Qi Yuebin there, his heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong.
"This servant wishes to express my regards to the Queen and the two empresses."
"Huang Guiquan, I see that you are doing better and better at the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Nian Shilan said with a smile, and then threw the list towards Huang Guiquan.
Huang Guiquan was frightened listening to Nian Shilan's words, let alone Nian Shilan throwing something out.
He quickly picked up the list and read it.
One look and he knew what the problem was.
But, this is impossible?
If Gengyao is in Beijing this year, everyone knows that even if he doesn't invite someone, he won't not invite him, right?
Moreover, the Nian family was written down from the beginning, so how could it be gone?
"Your Majesty, this slave is wronged."
Huang Guiquan screamed his grievance loudly: "The slave was the first to write the general's name on it. It is impossible to forget the general."
Nian Shilan lowered his head, holding the teacup, but did not speak.
"Then who passed this list later? How did it become this version?"
Qi Yuebin asked.
"After the list was finalized, it was given to the two empresses. After the two empresses agreed, the list invitation was sent out."
After Huang Guiquan said this, he also understood a little bit in his heart. He was afraid that he didn't know who took the blame for the two of them.
"Both ladies have seen the list. General Nian's name should be at the top. How could it be missing?"
"I have seen that list. There was indeed a senior general at that time."
Shen Meizhuang thought about it carefully, and he did see Nian Gengyao's name at that time.
Qi Yuebin also nodded: "Yes, that's why I and Concubine Hui didn't interfere later."
"Queen, both queens can testify for me."
Huang Guiquan quickly looked at Nian Shilan after hearing what the two said.
"But you didn't know that the list was changed later. This is still your dereliction of duty."
Nian Shilan raised his head and said calmly: "I will give you three days. If you can't find this person, then replace the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
As soon as Huang Guiquan heard what Nian Shilan said, he subconsciously wanted to fight for it again, but before he could speak, Zhou Ninghai walked up to him. He understood that this was trying to drive him away.
As soon as Huang Guiquan left, Nian Shilan put down the tea cup.
"You have been busy for so many days, go back and rest."
Qi Yuebin couldn't understand it at this moment.
"Mother, where is the general?"
"I think you must have heard that my brother is injured. Even if he is on the list, he may not be able to come."
Nian Shilan's smile was not considered gentle, but it still gave them both face: "Just follow the list the day after tomorrow."
Shen Meizhuang breathed a sigh of relief.
So, the two left.
Nian Shilan looked at the two people's backs for a while, and then let Zhou Ninghai come in.
"Tomorrow, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and help Huang Guiquan investigate."
Nian Shilan was not afraid of what Huang Guiquan would do, but because he knew that he would investigate carefully, so he asked Zhou Ninghai to go over and make a point: "You can't find out the left and right, it's just a formality."
"Slave understands."
On the day of the New Year, Chaogui came to Yikun Palace early in the morning.
“Imperial Empress.”
Chao Gui walked in with a smile: "I haven't even come to visit you. I don't know if you will blame me."
"Your tire is unstable, how can I blame you?"
Nian Shilan also smiled after listening to Chao Gui's words, and then looked at her belly: "You go back at this time. Fortunately, Zhungeer does not have New Year customs, otherwise you would not be able to catch up."
When Chao Gui saw Nian Shilan looking at her belly, she stretched out her hand to touch it and said, "It's already so big. If you want to go back and forth, you have to give birth."
This is what Nian Shilan is worried about.
Chao Gui is not pregnant. How will she get out when she returns to Jungar and gives birth?
"My sister has already found Po Wen and brought the imperial doctor with her. The emperor's sister-in-law can just rest assured. This baby will be born before Zhungeer is reached."
It turns out that Chao Gui had this idea.
Along the way, I am afraid that many people will attack Chao Gui's belly, so it is reasonable to give birth suddenly prematurely.
Although it is not quite full term, it is enough that the child can survive.
"I asked my brother to specially select trustworthy guards. You can trust them in anything."
Nian Shilan warned: "And the imperial doctor, don't trust him too much."
"My sister knows. I have also found another imperial doctor and will go back with me."
Chao Gui took Nian Shilan's hand and said, "Once I leave, I don't know when we will see each other again. Sister-in-law, the palace is dangerous, so you have to take good care of yourself."
"I will."
Nian Shilan didn't expect that Chao Gui would still be thinking about him in his current situation: "When you get to Jungar, if anything happens, you must send someone back to tell me."
"I will tell you that you are safe. When I come back again, it will be done."
Nian Shilan looked at the inevitable victory in Chao Gui's eyes, and was somewhat worried.
But she didn't have time to worry too much about Chao Gei, because she had already gone to Shoukang Palace to send Wu to Dali Temple yesterday.
Before she and Chao Gui exchanged a few words, someone already came and said that the Wu family wanted to meet Nian Shilan.
"Mr. Wu said that there are some things that I just want to talk to you, my empress."
Songzhi told Nian Shilan what the messenger said.
But Nian Shilan didn't want to hear it at all.
"Go back to her. If she wants to say it, just say it. If she doesn't want to say it, don't say it. As long as she can bear it, how can I be the one she wants to see?"
Nian Shilan said sarcastically: "Let Zhen Yuandao check all the Wu family and send them all to Wu family."
The Chinese New Year is about to come soon. If the Wu family all enters Dali Temple at this time, I am afraid that the whole Wu family will blame Wu family.
"If you don't want to say anything, Concubine Xi has already informed Master Zhen."
"Concubine Xi is the most astute and can think more."
Nian Shilan lamented that Zhen Huan has not left the palace in this life, so does she still want to be the Queen Mother?
If she doesn't want to be Brother Xia, who should be raised by her and who is the best for her?
You must not raise it yourself, otherwise it will definitely make the emperor taboo.
But Third Brother, you can think about it yourself.
It’s not anything else, the main thing is that this third elder brother is really stupid. If he raises him, will he give the elder brother a chance?
This matter needs to be considered in the long run.
When Wu heard in Dali Temple that Nian Shilan didn't want to see him, he didn't have much emotional ups and downs.
But when she saw that her entire clan had been sent in, she was no longer calm.
