Nian Shilan really didn't expect that the Queen Mother and Shi Xiye were killed by the Emperor himself.
She thought that the emperor might have had it done, but she never thought that it would be done by his own hands.
"At the beginning, I also thought that maybe I had misunderstood, but this morning the news came out that Master Shixi was gone, and I knew that I couldn't be wrong based on my understanding of Sister Mei."
Zhen Huan grabbed Nian Shilan and said, "Your Majesty, if this is really the case, then the Emperor will not keep Sister Mei. How can we save her?"
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan's helpless look and quickly stabilized her.
"Concubine Xi, don't panic yet."
Zhen Huan looked at Nian Shilan and knew that she couldn't panic at this time, otherwise Shenmeizhuang would really be helpless.
"I know this."
"Now that we can still contact Concubine Hui, that's the best news. At least she's still alive."
Nian Shilan analyzed: "Now, we have only one way."
"Take Sister Mei away."
It's not that Zhen Huan hasn't thought about this, so as soon as Nian Shilan opened her mouth, Zhen Huan also thought of it.
"Yes, but we don't have to do it ourselves."
Now that the Prince of Longxi County is in Beijing, he is the most anxious one now.
"Then what are we going to do?"
What can be done is to spread the news and fish in troubled waters.
"You just need to tell the Shen family well. Once there is news about Concubine Hui, if it is good news, they will clamor to see people. If it is bad news, they will make the matter bigger. In this way, we can eliminate suspicion."
Shen Meizhuang wanted to save him, but he couldn't bring anyone in the palace back.
Zhen Huan nodded after listening to Nian Shilan's words: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely give you instructions. What about the palace?"
"The palace is already chaotic enough, we don't need to pay attention to it. And the people in the palace don't have the energy to pay attention to us."
Nian Shilan's words were true, but what she didn't expect was that the emperor would almost easily control Prince Guo's life.
When King Guo followed the emperor to Shoukang Palace, he saw his mother-in-law, Princess Shu, in the main hall before entering the bedroom.
"Eniang."
As soon as Prince Guo saw Concubine Shu, he walked quickly to Concubine Shu and looked her up and down: "Why are you here?"
In fact, this question is in vain. How can he be here? The emperor didn't send someone to bring him here.
Concubine Shu glanced at the emperor and said, "I have known the Queen Mother for many years. Now I heard that she was unwell, and I was very concerned about her. So I came to the palace to visit. I just talked to the Queen Mother for a while, and she has already rested."
Prince Guo naturally didn't believe this.
But he also knew that in this situation, he had to believe it.
"Seventeenth brother is thinking about the emperor's mother. His filial piety is really rare."
The emperor sneered and said: "Since you are here now, let's go in and see the emperor, and feel more at ease."
Prince Guo knew that he still lost this battle.
Naturally, he couldn't go in to confirm.
If it is confirmed that the Queen Mother has passed away, then what Concubine Shu said just now is a lie, which is the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Moreover, if the emperor can bring Concubine Shu here, it is natural to threaten him. Now he is in a dilemma.
"Since E Niang has already met the Queen Mother, my brother is naturally not at ease."
Prince Guo said: "Now that the emperor's mother is not in good health, I will not disturb you."
"That's fine."
The emperor nodded: "I think Mu Zhen can feel at ease this time."
After speaking, the emperor looked at Prince Guo, the purpose in his eyes was self-evident.
"Brother, please rest assured."
"Okay, then I won't keep you, so you can go back first."
The emperor turned around and was about to leave: "It's a rare meeting between mother and son. Let's talk some private words. I will go back to the Yangxin Palace first."
"Brother Royal."
When King Guo heard that the emperor did not want E Niang to leave, he quickly stopped him and said, "E Niang has been a monk for many years and is used to eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. I am afraid she is not used to it in the palace, so I asked the emperor to let E Niang go back. "
But unexpectedly, before the emperor spoke, Concubine Shu became unhappy.
"Yunli, what are you talking about? How can E Niang not get used to it after living in the palace for decades? What's more, the Queen Mother is in poor health now. As a concubine, E Niang should serve her."
After saying that, he looked at the emperor with a guilty look and said, "Please forgive me for your sins. Yunli is just thinking about me."
"It doesn't matter."
The emperor glanced at the two of them and left.
Although the emperor left, no one inside or outside the palace left.
Of course King Guo knew that this was left by the emperor to monitor him.
"Eniang."
Prince Guo helped Concubine Shu sit down and said, "When did you come?"
"Do not worry,"
Concubine Shu took Prince Guo's hand and took the opportunity to put the things in Prince Guo's hands and said, "Everything is fine in the palace, and the Queen Mother is here to talk and laugh with you. Just feel at ease." .When the Queen Mother feels better, E Niang will go back."
Prince Guo really didn't expect that the emperor would take Concubine Shu hostage. He had already arranged someone for Concubine Shu, but he didn't expect that Concubine Shu would be taken away, and he didn't receive any news at all.
With Concubine Shu in hand, the emperor held Prince Guo and Concubine Shu hostage.
For the sake of her son, Concubine Shu would naturally do whatever the emperor asked her to do.
For the sake of his mother, Prince Guo naturally did not dare to go against the emperor again.
"My son is unfilial."
Prince Guo was really speechless and wanted to give Concubine Shu a few words, but the Emperor's people were everywhere and he couldn't say anything.
"Go back and settle down."
Concubine Shu naturally had her reasons for leaving because of the prince.
Prince Guo also understood that he could not stay in the palace for much longer, so he got up and left.
Prince Guo didn't speak the whole way, nor did he open the note in his hand. He just pretended to stuff the note into his waist while leaving Shoukang Palace.
When he returned to the palace, Prince Guo took him into his study, and no one was allowed to enter.
Even Mu Zhen heard that Prince Guo had returned to his residence and hurried over, but was stopped outside the study.
Prince Guo opened the note his mother gave him. There was only one word on it, nothing.
Although there was nothing else, King Guo still understood the meaning above.
The Queen Mother is indeed gone.
"A Jin,"
After a long time, Prince Guo shouted in the study: "Let him come in."
Prince Guo knew that Mu Zhen was outside.
