Nian Shilan looked at Nian Fu's anxious look and said, "Don't be anxious yet."
When Nian Fu heard Nian Shilan's words, he didn't intend to involve himself, so that's okay.
"Auntie, we can't have my father and brother go out to fight, while I can only wait at home."
"How peaceful do you think it is to be at home?"
It was not convenient for Su Deyin to say these words, and Nian Shilan wanted to finish them all for Su Deyin.
"If everyone in the Nian family leaves the capital, the emperor will be suspicious to begin with, and he will not be relieved. You are the eldest son, and you are accompanying your mother in the capital. Firstly, it is to reassure the emperor, and secondly, if there is anything going on at home, It’s over, your mother also has someone she can discuss with. You are not young anymore, and you have already started a family, so you have to put the overall situation first."
What Nian Shilan said was actually true. If Nian Fu and Nian Xing both left the capital, the emperor would definitely find a way to cause some trouble.
But if Nian Fu was still in the capital, the emperor would be less suspicious. At least for the sake of his eldest son, Nian Gengyao would not ignore him.
Nian Gengyao nodded after hearing Nian Shilan's words: "What your aunt said makes sense, just follow your aunt's arrangements."
My father has said so, so naturally I can't say anything more when I am rich.
"Okay, Nian Xing, go back and prepare. The imperial edict will come down tomorrow morning at the latest."
When Nian Shilan had finished talking, he sent Shu Nianfu and Nian Xing away.
"Brother, I asked you to inquire about Ganlu Temple last time. Is there any news?"
"I asked people to go over quietly. Concubine Hui was locked up, but she couldn't be reached."
Nian Gengyao also felt strange. What mistake had Concubine Hui made to be sent to Ganlu Temple?
"Can't reach it?"
Nian Shilan had thought that there would be people from the emperor in Ganlu Temple, but she knew Nian Gengyao's people. If she couldn't even get in touch with Nian Gengyao's people, it meant that Shenmeizhuang was being watched closely.
"Brother, I think you will be leaving tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about this anymore."
Nian Shilan didn't want Nian Gengyao to leave uneasy, so she told him, "I'll ask my sister-in-law to investigate this matter for me."
But Nian Shilan didn't tell Su Deyin how to check, he only told her to wait for news about him.
When Shilan returned to the palace, Su Peisheng came.
"Greetings to the Queen."
"Eunuch Su came just in time."
Su Peisheng naturally understood the meaning of Nian Shilan's words.
"Since your Majesty knows, I think she also understands why this slave is here."
"I know this and will not embarrass my father-in-law."
Nian Shilan was not stupid. How could she offend Su Peisheng, whom she had finally won over?
"My brother has agreed to go to the northwest, and I have also persuaded Nianxing."
"This is excellent."
Su Peisheng nodded, and then glanced at Songzhi in the hall.
Songzhi understood that Su Peisheng had something to say to Nian Shilan, so she immediately glanced at Nian Shilan, and when she saw Nian Shilan nodded, she turned and left.
"Father, please sit down."
As soon as Songzhi went out, Nian Shilan said, "My father-in-law, don't be restrained. You can speak first if you have anything to say."
"It's nothing, but two days ago, I seemed to hear the emperor talking to someone in the middle of the night. At first, I thought it was the emperor who had a nightmare and was talking in his sleep. He was about to go in, but he didn't expect to hear another person's voice. .”
Su Peisheng said in a low voice: "From what that person means, it should be Concubine Hui's side. I guess she won't survive."
Nian Shilan's eyes widened: "Concubine Hui, why was she sent out of the palace?"
"It seems that Concubine Hui heard what the Emperor said to Master Shi Xi, but I don't know what it was exactly."
Su Peisheng was actually just guessing, because after the emperor came out of Shoukang Palace that day, the emperor sent someone to see Concubine Hui off.
But Nian Shilan felt something was wrong.
If Shen Meizhuang really heard something that she shouldn't have heard, the emperor could have locked her up and reported her death of illness. There was really no need to go to such trouble to send her away.
"Thank you, Eunuch. I don't know much about Concubine Hui, so I have to ask Concubine Xi."
"That's right. The person who spoke inside also meant the same thing. He said that if Concubine Xi came to ask for help, he was afraid that the emperor would be soft-hearted, but the emperor said,"
Su Peisheng paused as he spoke: "But the emperor said that if Concubine Hui died on her own, then it would be useless for Concubine Xi to come and beg her."
So this is why Su Peisheng feels that Shen Meizhuang will not live long.
In fact, Su Peisheng didn't know very well whether Nian Shilan's relationship with Shen Meizhuang was good or not, but he didn't put much effort into it and just wanted to sell Nian Shilan a good son.
Of course Nian Shilan understood and nodded: "Thank you, father-in-law, for telling me this. I will keep it in mind."
After Su Peisheng left, Nian Shilan did nothing.
Today's Yikun Palace is probably being watched closely.
In the evening, the imperial edict was spread.
Nian Xing was appointed as the special envoy and led troops to the frontier to investigate and slander the Nian family for rebellion.
Nian Gengyao restored military power and set off to the northwest. He restored all positions of general and set off immediately.
Nian Shilan felt relieved after hearing the news.
"After my brother leaves Beijing, you accompany Nian Xing to the frontier fortress and help him stabilize the frontier fortress."
Nian Shilan called Nian Yi over and told him, "Nian Xing is still younger after all. He is not as calm as you when encountering things. You have to help him think more about it."
"Don't worry, my dear, I will not disappoint you."
Nian Shilan had told Nian Yi before that he wanted him to go to the frontier fortress, so when Nian Shilan called him here, he was already prepared.
"You can leave the palace tomorrow morning. You can go see Nian Xi tonight. It may take a long time for you to come back."
"Thank you, Madam. Weichen has nothing to explain. Nian Xi is already quite old. Weichen should go back to Nian's Mansion tonight so that he can discuss the route with the Second Young Master."
Nian Yi saluted Nian Shilan and then went back to pack his things.
Early on the next morning, before Nian Shilan got up, the two teams in Nian Mansion set off.
Although Nian Shilan didn't get up, the news came in early.
When the concubines came to Yikun Palace to pay their respects, the hospitality on their faces became more obvious than the last.
Nian Shilan glanced at everyone and spoke calmly.
"All the sisters came so early today, but I am slacking off."
"Your Majesty said that, it really puts my concubines to shame."
Feng Ruozhao spoke first and said: "My mother-in-law has a lot of affairs in the world, how can she be so free as my concubines?"
"There have been a lot of things in the harem recently. I have been busy some time ago, and some things have been left to Concubine Jing to handle. Concubine Jing has a thin face, and some things are almost over. But you all know my temper. Most of all, sand cannot be tolerated.”
As he said this, Nian Shilan glanced at Jianqiu and sneered.
Jian Qiu also understood that what Nian Shilan said today was probably aimed at himself.
"That's all I have to say today. When you go back, please restrain your own people and don't cause any more discomfort to me."
"yes."
