Qi Yuebin seemed to believe it after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
"The guards of Shoukang Palace have always been the most trusted by the Queen Mother. If even the guards are changed, it can only mean that something happened to the Queen Mother."
"That's right."
Nian Shilan nodded and said, "Therefore, I am afraid there will be turmoil in the palace, and even in the entire Qing Dynasty."
"Then we just need to make this turmoil bigger and give them a helping hand."
Qi Yuebin looked at Nian Shilan and smiled silently.
For several days, Nian Shilan went to Shoukang Palace every day, but no matter when Nian Shilan went, he never saw the Queen Mother.
Nian Shilan understood clearly and stopped going.
The day after Nian Shilan stopped going to Shoukang Palace, the emperor said that he had arranged for the Queen Mother and Shi Xiye to go to the palace together.
Nian Shilan knew the opportunity had come.
"Go and send Concubine Xi over, and tell her that I have prepared new clothes for the eighth elder brother. I have also prepared some clothes for the sixth elder brother, and asked her to bring the sixth elder brother over to try them on."
Nian Shilan asked you Songzhi to pass on Zhen Huan and bring the sixth elder brother.
Zhen Huan came soon.
"Songzhi, you and Liu Zhu will go to my bedroom to try on clothes with your sixth brother."
Nian Shilan helped everyone down, and then said to Zhen Huan, "Is there any news from Ganlu Temple?"
"Still can't contact Sister Mei,"
Zhen Huan looked disappointed: "Now I can only confirm that Sister Mei is still alive, but I can't see anyone."
"Then tomorrow is the best time."
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan in confusion, with an unprecedented seriousness on his face.
"The emperor will secretly send the Queen Mother and Shi Xiye out of the palace tomorrow. I once asked the emperor. The emperor meant that he would let Concubine Hui go to the palace to serve the queen mother. So if you tell the people over there, he will definitely have a chance to meet. To Concubine Hui."
What Nian Shilan didn't say was that she was also prepared in the palace. There would be chaos on the emperor's side, so she wouldn't have time to take care of Shenmeizhuang, which was far away in Ganlu Temple.
"If that's the case, then this is the best time."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan agreed with Nian Shilan's statement.
"One more thing, no matter what happens inside or outside the palace tomorrow, don't worry about it."
"What's going to happen?"
Zhen Huan felt more and more uneasy after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
"I don't know what's going on yet, but I always feel that the Queen Mother's sudden sending away this time is as difficult as Concubine Hui's sending away."
Nian Shilan didn't say much to Zhen Huan, but she didn't expect Zhen Huan to say, "But speaking of it, I'm afraid the Prince of Longxi County will be arriving in the capital in the next two days."
"Prince of Longxi County?"
After listening to Zhen Huan's words, Nian Shilan thought of what Zhen Huan had said before about the recent frequent exchanges between Prince Guo and Prince Longxi.
"Well, Prince Guo has returned. Prince Longxi will arrive in the capital at the earliest tomorrow night or early the next morning at the latest."
Now Nian Shilan understood why the emperor was so anxious to send the queen mother away.
I am afraid that the emperor also knows the news of Longxi County Prince's visit to Beijing.
"The most disgraceful thing for me is to disappoint people."
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "It seems that I have to help him."
"What do you mean, empress?"
Zhen Huan actually doesn't quite understand why Nian Shilan treats the emperor like this. She clearly remembers that Nian Shilan loves the emperor the most, right? Since when did Nian Shilan not care about the emperor? ?
Nian Shilan naturally saw doubts in Zhen Huan's eyes: "Are you curious why I suddenly hate the emperor?"
"I really don't understand something."
Zhen Huan didn't expect Nian Shilan to speak so clearly, so she had no worries.
"You still remember that when I was pregnant with my eighth prince, my brother and sister-in-law came to the palace to see me. On the way back, they were ambushed. Even now, when I went to the northwest, my health has not recovered."
Although what Nian Shilan said was not all the facts, it was still easy to understand.
Nian Gengyao's injury was widely circulated at the time. Could it be that it was related to the emperor?
"My concubine is bold, but the people around the empress?"
Zhen Huan looked at Nian Shilan with an expression that had never been more serious than before.
Nian Shilan smiled: "You are so smart, how can you be just the person next to me. Originally, I was a little disappointed when Minghui was poisoned. If my brother was injured, I was just heartbroken. Then Hongjing was poisoned, so I The last bit of hope in my heart was extinguished."
This amount of information was so huge that Zhen Huan was unable to react for a while.
"Could it be that both Minghui and Hongjing were poisoned?"
"Yes, so my heart is broken bit by bit like this."
Nian Shilan said firmly: "I am a queen, but I am also a mother. I must work hard for my children."
"Although I don't have my mother's family background, I am willing to do my best for my mother-in-law for the sake of Longyue and sister Mei."
Zhen Huan understood what Nian Shilan meant. She was really afraid that one day the emperor would be jealous of her, and now she had two princes in her hands.
But Nian Shilan shook his head: "The emperor is probably on guard against me now. People at this time should just protect themselves. If necessary, I will let someone find you. As for Concubine Hui, I will do my best to protect her life."
Although Nian Shilan didn't say it first, Zhen Huan also guessed that Shen Meizhuang was probably in danger.
After Zhen Huan left, Nian Shilan asked Zhou Ninghai to release the carrier pigeons from the corridor.
Early the next morning, Nian Shilan got up early.
The emperor stayed at Chuxiu Palace last night, which surprised Nian Shilan.
"At this time, the queen mother's sedan chair should be ready to leave the palace, right?"
Nian Shilan asked while drinking porridge.
"Yes, it should be almost done."
As soon as Songzhi finished replying, Zhou Ninghai hurried in.
"Your Majesty is not well, Prince Guo has entered the palace."
"It's most common for him to enter the palace. What's wrong with that?"
Nian Shilan said nonchalantly: "Let's see what you can do if you panic. Don't lose your identity."
"It's not that I'm panicking, it's that Prince Guo insists on meeting the Queen Mother."
Zhou Ninghai said nervously: "I said I dreamed that something happened to the Queen Mother. I have to see the Queen Mother with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."
"Don't you think the Queen Mother doesn't like to see people lately? She can see them if she wants to?"
Nian Shilan still drank the porridge in his hand calmly, without any change in his expression.
"The emperor said so too."
Zhou Ninghai quickly said: "But Prince Guo is kneeling outside Shoukang Palace, saying that he will not leave until he sees the Queen Mother."
Nian Shilan put down the porridge in his hand and glanced at Zhou Ninghai: "The Queen Mother is leaving the palace today. Due to emotions and reasons, I have nothing to send to you, so let's go."
