Nian Shilan saw that Zhen Huan's expression didn't look fake, and then continued: "Concubine Duan also comes from a family of military commanders. Even if she loses contact with her natal family, the emperor will not let her raise her brother. If you don't want to raise her, , then Concubine An has the best chance of becoming a concubine."
Although logically speaking, there are only two concubines, but after An Bin gave birth to the princess, the emperor originally wanted to give her a title. However, his pregnancy came suddenly, so the emperor took An Bin's matter and the little princess out of the equation. Forgot.
"The title of the princess hasn't been decided yet, right?"
Zhen Huan heard Nian Shilan mention An Lingrong and asked, "The emperor hasn't mentioned it these days. If this continues, Yanxi Palace will become a joke."
Nian Shilan was also worried about this matter and never had a chance to mention it to the emperor.
"How about this,"
Zhen Huan also saw Nian Shilan's embarrassment, knowing that she might have a reason not to speak out about this matter.
"When the emperor talks to me about raising Brother Xi, I will also mention the matter of Sister An to the emperor."
"That's all we can do for now."
Nian Shilan really has no other option now but to wait.
But within two days, the emperor issued an order.
Zhen Huan probably said something to the emperor, and the emperor gave An Bin the title Wen, and the princess was given the title Wen Ning.
"The titles of Concubine Wen and Princess Wen Ning sound quite elegant."
Songzhi talked to Nian Shilan while rubbing her shoulders.
But Nian Shilan smiled and said: "In the emperor's heart, I think Concubine Wen is the most humble and quiet, so she was given this quiet title. As for the princess, I think the emperor wanted her to be like his mother-in-law." Just as gentle."
"By the way, Your Majesty, the Emperor has already introduced Prince Guo to the palace."
Songzhi remembered what Zhou Ninghai had just said to her and said quickly: "I guess they were talking about the marriage."
"I cannot understand Prince Guo the most. However, if Meng Jingxian enters the palace, I will understand everything."
Nian Shilan had already arranged his people for Meng Jingxian's place. As soon as Meng Jingxian entered the house, he would naturally know everything.
"One more thing,"
Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan's troubled face and didn't know whether she should say anything.
"Just say it."
Nian Shilan glanced at Songzhi and asked her to say something.
"Nian Guard, came back last night."
Nian Shilan was really surprised when she heard Songzhi's words. She never thought that Nian Yi would dare to come back.
"Where is he now?"
"Should still be in the room."
Nian Shilan nodded: "Go and pass it to him, and then pass Nian Xi over."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Nian Shilan didn't wait for a while before Nian's intention came.
"Greetings to the Queen."
Nian Shilan looked at him but didn't speak or let him get up.
After a while, Nian Xi also came.
"Greetings to the Queen."
As soon as Nian Xi entered the hall, she saw her brother kneeling there. She didn't know what was going on, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
"Everyone, get up."
Nian Shilan lazily said, "I thought you didn't want your sister anymore and would never come back."
"Wei Chen is aware of his guilt."
There was no explanation for the meaning of the year.
Nian Shilan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she saw him like this.
"Nianyi, don't think that I dare not do anything to you. If you don't give me an explanation today, you two brothers and sisters will go to the underworld to keep company."
Nian Yi has been with Nian Shilan for so long, and this is the most serious thing Nian Shilan has ever said to him.
"Wei Chen just returned to the palace last night, but I heard along the way that the Queen gave birth to her legitimate son safely, but she was born prematurely."
Nian Yi did not answer Nian Shilan but asked: "I dare to ask my Majesty, how is the eighth prince's health?"
"Why do you ask?"
Nian Shilan listened to Nian Yi's words, but was unwilling to answer him.
"Your Majesty, this is very important."
Nian Yi looked at Nian Shilan and said word by word: "Please answer Wei Chen's question, Wei Chen will definitely tell you everything."
"Although Jinger was born prematurely, she is in good health."
Nian Shilan didn't hide it either.
"Wei Chen has been away these days, not to avoid seeing the empress, but to investigate some things."
After Nian Yi listened to Nian Shilan's words, he said with confidence: "Someone was threatening Wei Chen with the matter of the General's Mansion, but Wei Chen didn't know who this person was. So Wei Chen took the opportunity to This time, we left the capital."
"What did you find out?"
Nian Shilan asked expressionlessly after listening to Nian Yi's words.
"Weichen went to the frontier fortress."
Nian Yi did not hide anything and said: "Before, the empress mentioned that there was someone from Seoul who held the waist badge of the Nian family guard, which belonged to Wei Chen. But Wei Chen's waist badge was not lost, so Wei Chen wanted to Go check it out for yourself.”
Nian Shilan looked at Nian Yi and said nothing.
When I told Su Deyin about this, I didn't even mention it to my brother. Why did Nian Yi know about it?
Nian Yi looked at the way Nian Shilan looked at him, and naturally understood Nian Shilan's suspicion.
"When you came to talk to Wei Chen, Wei Chen already guessed that there was a problem in the house, so he asked Nian Xi to help inquire."
Nian Yi continued: "My dear, if you want to doubt Wei Chen, it is a trivial matter, but you must believe what Wei Chen is going to say next."
"What do you think."
Nian Shilan knows all about Nian Yi's thoughtfulness, so Nian Shilan also has some faith in Nian Yi's words.
Wasn't it because of his meticulousness that his brother asked him to follow him into the palace?
"Weichen pretended to be a businessman at the frontier, and even disguised himself. He also asked some friends to inquire and found out that the Nian family's waist badges are indeed there. However, the Nian family guards only have one waist badge, and that is Wei Chen’s waist card.”
Nian Zhi thought about what he saw and couldn't help but said with a chill: "But I didn't expect that person to recognize Wei Chen. If Wei Chen hadn't disguised himself and changed his appearance, he would have almost recognized him."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Nian Shilan sounded a little annoyed.
"The person pretending to be a minister is a guard in the palace."
Nian Yi looked at Nian Shilan and said, "Madam, that man was once a guard who died in the palace, but he became Chang Yi at the frontier."
Nian Shilan raised his head after hearing Nian Yi's words and looked at him in surprise.
"A palace guard?"
"Yes, Wei Chen has been in the palace for many years, so he will never admit his mistake, unless that person has a twin brother."
Nian Yi said with certainty: "And if Wei Chen remembers correctly, that person has been dead for ten years."
Ten years means that this person has been deployed at the frontier for ten years.
When Nian Shilan thought of this, he looked at Nian Yi intently as if he had thought of something.
Obviously, Nian Yi's thoughts were the same as his own, so he asked Ba Age how he was as soon as he came in.
With such careful arrangements, if Nian Yi dies, then the Nian Yi at the frontier will be the only Nian Yi.
Everyone knows that Nian Yi is a member of the Nian family, so once it is revealed, the Nian family will be the same as in the previous life.
Only one person can do it, and that is the Emperor.
"Are you trying to say that the person who has threatened you for so long is also the emperor?"
Although Nian Shilan didn't want to admit it, now that things have developed here, Nian Shilan seems to have figured out a lot of things at once.
Even if he were to live another life, he would still be no match for the emperor.
The emperor can win from the competition of nine sons, how can he be that ordinary person?
But why?
"Now that you are back, I think he will contact you again."
Nian Shilan calmed down and said, "Prince Guo seems to have some kind of deal with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother may also want to change the emperor."
Nian Yi quickly glanced at Nian Xi after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
Nian Xi has been in the palace for a while and naturally knows a lot of things.
Nianyi nodded towards Nianyi.
"If my brother has already surrendered his military power, but the emperor still wants to put my Nian family to death, then why bother."
Nian Shilan didn't know whether he said this to himself or to Nian Yi.
"What are you going to do, Madam?"
Nian Yi said: "About Princess Minghui, I think I have already made a decision in my heart. Concubine Duan, but she was used as a substitute again."
"Not only Minghui's matter, but also what happened to my brother last time. Come to think of it, all of them contributed."
Nian Shilan smiled sarcastically and said, "If that's the case, then everyone should just stop living."
"No matter what the queen does, as long as the queen still believes in the New Year's wishes and the New Year's wishes, I will follow her to the death."
As soon as Nian Yi finished speaking, Nian Yi spoke.
"I am happy to receive the favor from the Nian family every year, and I am willing to do my best for my empress."
Nian Shilan looked at the two of them and nodded. Now that he had decided, there was no need for long-term planning.
"Okay, Nian Xi, just stay with me. Nian Yi, come to think of it, no matter who is behind it, since you are back, I will definitely contact you again."
Nian Shilan said: "In these days, you will help me re-investigate the Wu family and the assassins on New Year's Eve."
After Nian Yi and Nian Xi both left, Nian Shilan called Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai in.
Although Nian Shilan said he believed in the Nian brothers and sisters, there were some things that Nian Shilan still wouldn't let them know.
"Zhou Ninghai, you will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs later and try to get a list of all the guards who died within ten years."
Nian Shilan had to know what happened with the guard.
"I understand that I will let Xiao Lizi go with me."
As soon as Zhou Ninghai finished talking about Nian Shilan, he immediately objected.
"No, you are the only one going there. From now on, no one except you will know what we are doing now."
Although Nian Shilan has trusted the people in Yikun Palace, who knows if they are pretending. Nian Shilan will not take risks at this time.
Although Zhou Ninghai didn't know what happened, he immediately left alone after Nian Shilan said so.
"Songzhi, let's go to Yanqing Hall."
Nian Shilan knew that Minghui's matter had nothing to do with Qi Yuebin.
Qi Yuebin also knew what he was thinking.
Although the two have not seen each other for a long time, they have exchanged news.
If not for anything else, Qi Yuebin just didn't want to be the scapegoat anymore.
So when Shilan found out that all the clues about Minghui's poisoning pointed to Qi Yuebin, he had already told her about it.
"Didn't the empress say you can't go?"
Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan and reminded her carefully.
"But now, we have to go."
Nian Shilan stood up and said, "You will go to Yanqing Hall to send some snacks later. Concubine Duan will understand."
"yes."
Songzhi went to deliver the things immediately.
Nian Shilan walked to the window and opened it. As soon as the air-conditioning outside came in, Nian Shilan shivered. He didn't know whether it was because of the weather or because of people's hearts.
Yanqing Hall.
Ruyi took the snacks sent by Songzhi and walked in a little strangely.
"Your Majesty, Aunt Songzhi just sent over some snacks, saying they were for Princess Wen Yi to try."
Ruyi placed the snacks on the table and continued: "It won't be poisonous, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Qi Yuebin scolded Ruyi, then looked at the snacks on the table and said: "Open the small door in the backyard at night and keep everyone away."
Ruyi glanced at Qi Yuebin. Although she didn't know why, she didn't ask.
After Ruyi went down, Qi Yuebin looked at the things on the table and sighed.
I wanted to escape from the world, but if someone wanted to drag me into this vortex, I couldn't blame myself.
Nian Shilan originally wanted to go to Yanqing Hall at night, but unexpectedly the emperor came.
"I originally wanted to see Concubine Qian, but when I passed by you, I wanted to come in and sit for a while. Are you going out?"
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan dressed neatly and wearing a curtain hat, and he wanted to go out.
"Yes, I wanted to go see Concubine Wen. I haven't been there for a few days. I happened to have nothing to do at night. I didn't expect the emperor to come."
Nian Shilan's reaction was quite quick, and it didn't look like he was lying when he blurted it out.
"That's just an unlucky thing for me to come here."
The emperor said so, but he had no intention of leaving.
Nian Shilan was not in a hurry and sat down with the emperor.
"I think the emperor has something to do with his concubine, right?"
"I can't hide anything from you."
The emperor smiled after listening to Nian Shilan's words: "It was news from Zhun Geer that Chao Gui gave birth to a son on the way back. It was the concubine Jia who did it. Chao Gui did not deal with it, but Let Xilin Khan handle it. Xilin Khan just grounded her, so Chaogui wrote a letter home."
"This Shilin Khan is really too much,"
Although Nian Shilan had known the news for a long time, when the emperor mentioned it, he still said angrily as if he had just heard about it: "Chao Gui is our direct princess of the Qing Dynasty, how can we let him be humbled?"
"Then what does the queen think?"
The emperor asked after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
"Since Xilin Khan is reluctant to let go of his concubine, then our princess of the Qing Dynasty is not easy to bully."
Nian Shilan looked at the emperor and said: "Every year, all the materials and silver that Zhun Geer turned over to the Qing Dynasty doubled. This is to let him know that the imperial roses represent our entire Qing Dynasty."
Nian Shilan said this deliberately, women were not allowed to participate in politics, but his remarks were completely contrary to them.
