Nian Shilan looked at the letter Zhou Ninghai brought back to him, and then there was a smile on his lips.
"She did live up to my plan."
Nian Shilan reached out and took the letter, and Songzhi quickly stepped forward to help Nian Shilan up.
"I told you to rest for two more days, but you refused to listen."
Nian Shilan was a little angry when she saw Songzhi. He wanted her to rest for a few more days, but she refused.
"Your Majesty, it took a lot of effort for me to come back. Of course I am worried about you."
Songzhi ignored Nian Shilan's anger. Anyway, she had now adapted to Nian Shilan's good temper towards her.
Nian Shilan also knew that there was nothing he could do to her, so he stopped talking.
Nian Shilan opened the letter Wu Ruozhao wrote to him and read it.
If nothing else, just because Wu Ruozhao said she was really pregnant, Nian Shilan couldn't show the letter to the emperor.
Nian Shilan thought about what the letter said. It was Yi Xiu who arranged for her to enter the palace and let her keep a low profile and restrain her sharpness. However, Yi Xiu did not expect that she would be thrown into the cold palace, so Wu Ruozhao did nothing.
After Ye Bin died, Yi Xiucai sent someone to contact him again.
However, she did not participate in the matter involving Princess Minghui because Yi Xiu would not let her get involved in such matters because she was afraid that Nian Shilan would find out about her.
Later, when Ye Bin died, Yi Xiu wanted Wu Ruozhao to find someone to be his scapegoat.
As for the Ji concubine that Nian Shilan wanted to know the most, Wu Ruozhao was also full of injustice.
After Nian Shilan read the letter, he asked Songzhi to burn the letter.
"Empress,"
Songzhi paused: "Don't you need to show it to the emperor?"
"No, just burn it."
Nian Shilan's mind was not here anymore, and he had doubted Yi Xiu. After all, she knew medical skills and had a grudge against him. She had a motive.
It was precisely because Yi Xiu knew medical skills that Nian Shilan had some doubts about Wu Ruozhao's claim that she was pregnant.
When Feng Ruozhao came in the evening, Nian Shilan gave her the general content of Wu Ruozhao's letter.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ruozhao didn't have any entanglements when he heard it.
"My dear, no matter what she says is true or false, it can only be false."
Nian Shilan didn't understand what Feng Ruozhao meant.
"Is it possible that the empress still wants to keep the Wu family alive?"
Feng Ruozhao hit the nail on the head when he said: "This person has a very deep scheming mind. If he doesn't get rid of the roots, I'm afraid the spring breeze will come again."
"But those are the emperor's flesh and blood after all."
Although Nian Shilan had no feelings for the emperor, he had lost a child himself and always pitied the innocent child.
"Your Majesty has never had a child before, so she should know that it is not up to anyone to decide whether the child in this palace will be born or not."
Feng Ruozhao naturally knew what Nian Shilan was worried about: "If the empress can't bear it, let me do it."
"No, you can't get involved in this kind of thing."
Nian Shilan was a little moved when he heard Feng Ruozhao's words: "I can handle this kind of thing myself. Just pretend you don't know."
As soon as Feng Ruozhao left, Nian Shilan asked Zhou Ninghai to make arrangements for Dali Temple.
If Wu Ruozhao lost her child, then her whole family might not have to live anymore.
The emperor has been coming to Yikun Palace frequently these days.
Outsiders just thought that Nian Shilan was in a bad mood after losing her child, so the emperor came to accompany her.
But Nian Shilan didn't want to see the emperor come so diligently.
"Why doesn't the emperor go and see Brother Seventh?"
Nian Shilan asked.
"Why don't you like me to accompany you?"
The emperor was a little unhappy after hearing Nian Shilan's words.
"My concubine naturally likes the emperor, but the seventh elder brother has just been born not long ago. It is the time when he is favored. If the emperor expresses his indifference at this time and leaves a song in Yikun Palace, I am afraid it will be from outside. People will talk a lot about Seventh Prince, saying that he is not liked by Emperor Ama."
Nian Shilan's explanation is not false either.
When Liu Yinyin was giving birth, the emperor only accompanied the injured Zhen Huan without even taking a look. This was already enough to make people talk.
Now if the emperor still shows no concern for the seventh elder brother, I'm afraid the outside world may tell what will happen.
The emperor saw that Nian Shilan didn't look like he was telling lies, and then he nodded and said: "When I went to see Concubine Xi yesterday, she said the same thing. If the palace is as kind as you, what else can I do? Worry.”
Nian Shilan smiled after hearing this, how could that be possible?
If the harem is so harmonious, then Your Majesty, you should worry about whether your head is green.
"By the way, wasn't the assassin who said that day captured alive? He couldn't stand the torture and said it was Old Seventeen who instigated him."
The emperor said: "But I think there is something wrong."
Nian Shilan also felt something was wrong after listening to the emperor's words.
Although she had doubted King Guo, if she was really his, she wouldn't be so stupid as to say that he was the one.
"Does the Emperor believe it?"
"Believe it or not."
The emperor shook his head and said: "If it is for the throne, I believe it. But that day, those people were obviously going for you. I am not stupid."
Yes, the assassin that day looked like he was assassinating the emperor, but if the unscrupulous people guarded him so that they had no chance to take advantage of him, how could he be here well?
"What does the emperor mean?"
Nian Shilan thought that since the emperor came here specifically to talk to him, there might be something he needed to do.
"I thought, if it's for your belly, it will naturally be someone from the harem."
The emperor analyzed and said: "So I have asked Lao Qi to investigate. If he cannot find out, then he will have to admit the crime."
The emperor is really ruthless. Anyone who dares to assassinate anyone in the harem must not be an ordinary mistress, but must be a concubine or above.
Those who are above the imperial concubine rank are the only Westerners.
Zhen Huan and Liu Yinyin were both injured, so naturally it was not them.
Then only Feng Ruozhao, Shen Meizhuang and Qi Yuebin are left.
If we talk about motives, then Shen Meizhuang's motives are definitely bigger.
She has a prince, and if Nian Shilan gives birth to a prince, it will definitely be a threat to her son, so it is obvious whether she hopes to give birth to this child.
But Nian Shilan didn't think Shen Meizhuang would do this.
Feng Ruozhao and Qi Yuebin were both from the families of military commanders, but Qi Yuebin had a falling out with their family. It would not be reasonable to say that she arranged it.
Then only Feng Ruozhao is left.
But what does Feng Ruozhao want? Naturally it is impossible.
However, there is one more person.
Nian Shilan suddenly thought of something and raised his head to look at the emperor.
"You also guessed it, didn't you?"
When the emperor saw Nian Shilan suddenly looking at him, he knew that she understood what he was thinking.
