Mu Zhen had been waiting outside anxiously for a long time. As soon as he heard Prince Guo's voice, he pushed A Jin away and walked into the study.
"What's going on? Can we see the Queen Mother?"
Mu Zhen asked as soon as he entered.
Prince Guo looked at Mu Zhen and said, "I saw my mother-in-law. She said she had just spoken with the Queen Mother."
Mu Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard Prince Guo talking about E Niang. He was about to ask, isn't your E Niang a monk?
But after hearing his last sentence, he realized that the emperor had caught Concubine Shu.
"So it doesn't matter at all now what the facts are."
Prince Guo looked at Mu Zhen and said, "I may not be able to participate in what happens next."
As he said this, he handed the thing in his hand to him, and then looked out the window.
Maybe there were no spies in Guojun Prince's Mansion before, but it's hard to say now.
Mu Zhen took the paper from Prince Guo and opened it. It read: The Queen Mother is not here.
"If you can't participate, you can't participate. I still don't believe it. I can't see the Queen Mother yet."
As Mu Zhen spoke, he wrote on the paper: I went to Ganlu Temple to rob people.
Prince Guo nodded slightly, and Mu Zhen left angrily.
The palace will know about the affairs of Guojun Prince's Mansion within a day.
When Nian Shilan heard the news, he knew that Mu Zhen had gotten his news.
Yes, Mu Zhen was also recruited by Nian Shilan.
Otherwise, how could Mu Zhen have rashly entered the capital with King Guo alone?
When Shilan heard from Zhen Huan that Prince Guo had a close relationship with Mu Zhen, she had already asked Nian Yi to find her.
Later, he received the news that the Queen Mother was no longer here, which made Mu Zhen determined to enter Beijing as quickly as possible.
Even Prince Guo didn't know that he had entered Beijing early alone.
Since Nian Shilan does not wish the emperor well, then the enemy of his enemy is his friend.
The Queen Mother had rescued the Mu Zhen family in the early years, and the Mu Zhen family naturally followed the Queen Mother's orders.
But when he learned that the Queen Mother was secretly executed by the Emperor, it would definitely be impossible for him to stay quietly in Longxi.
So he entered Beijing in cooperation with Shilan in the same year.
As for King Guo, I can't really count as cooperating with him.
When the Queen Mother was there, Prince Guo only worked for the Queen Mother.
As for the transaction between Prince Guo and the Queen Mother, Prince Guo did not mention it.
If the prince had too many concerns, Mu Zhen would not discuss it with him.
But Nian Shilan is different.
Nian Shilan hated the emperor and wanted to support her son to become the emperor. Moreover, Nian Shilan had the backing of the Nian family and a brave brother like Nian Gengyao. She would definitely be able to avenge the Queen Mother on her behalf.
It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor to Mu Zhen, as long as he can avenge the Queen Mother, that's all.
Nian Shilan thought that she had to help Mu Zhen no matter what.
"Let's go to Yanqing Hall."
Although Concubine Duan has lingered on her sick bed for so many years, Nian Shilan knew that Concubine Duan had people she could use, and she was spread all over the palace and outside.
Nian Shilan knew that now was the time for Duan Fei's people to be used.
Concubine Duan's health was now in and out of good health. Although Wen Shichu prescribed medicine for her, in the end Concubine Duan's health had been suffering for many years and could only remain the same but could not get better.
"The Queen is here, I'm afraid there is something I need to do for you."
Although Concubine Duan looked bad, she still seemed to be in good spirits.
"Sister Duan is as sharp as ever."
Nian Shilan smiled and boasted, "I wouldn't want to disturb you unless I have no choice."
Concubine Duan waved her hand: "This is the common goal of you and me, so there is no need to disturb you. What do you need me to do?"
"Concubine Hui saw with her own eyes that the emperor attacked the Queen Mother and Master Shixi, and the prince of Longxi County has entered the capital. There is news from outside that the prince of Longxi County is going to Ganlu Temple to kidnap Concubine Hui. I think I will take Concubine Hui away during the chaos. "
Concubine Duan nodded after listening to Nian Shilan's words. As long as Concubine Hui was still alive, the emperor would not be so relaxed.
"Okay, I will have people prepare at Ganlu Temple to take Concubine Hui away at any time."
Concubine Duan did not ask how Nian Shilan knew she had someone.
Both of them knew in their hearts that they didn't have many secrets left, and they were both investigating each other.
Fortunately, the two are no longer enemies.
"I will arrange for people to meet them from a distance. There is a hidden village in the suburbs of Beijing. When the time comes, I will have people take them to hide there."
The hidden Zhuangzi that Nian Shilan mentioned was the dowry that Nian Gengyao gave to Nian Shilan.
There are all close people of the Nian family there, and the entrance is in the mountains, so it is easy to find if an outsider breaks in.
It would be the safest place to place Shenmeizhuang there.
"Okay, I will arrange it."
After the two people finished talking about the business, they chatted for a while.
When Nian Shilan was about to leave, the emperor came.
Nian Shilan listened to the auspicious announcement and glanced at Concubine Duan, who immediately understood.
Before the emperor entered Concubine Duan's bedroom, he heard Concubine Duan coughing.
"Always doing this is not an option."
What came out was Nian Shilan's anxious voice: "Before, I sent people to the northwest to find a doctor for my brother. He has excellent medical skills. I will write a letter tomorrow morning and ask my brother to send the doctor over for you to take a good look at. look."
"This is all my old problem..."
Before Concubine Duan finished speaking, she saw the emperor.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
When Nian Shilan saw the emperor, he quickly greeted him and said, "The servants outside are so ignorant that they didn't even let the emperor know when he came."
"Get up. I heard that Concubine Duan was not in good health recently, so I was afraid that she was sleeping, so I didn't bother her. I didn't expect you to be here."
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan and said.
"I have also heard about Concubine Duan's illness. Hey, what will I do if this continues? Princess Wen Yi is still so young, so sister, please take care of yourself."
Nian Shilan deliberately mentioned Wen Yi, just to tell the emperor that you still have a daughter raised in Yanqing Palace.
"Queen, please don't worry about me. My body is always like this. Don't worry, it's fine. These days, the doctors have been coming from time to time, and they all said it's fine. I think it's just my body." Weak and self-reliant.”
Concubine Duan smiled so weakly, but the emperor didn't look so happy.
Yes, you have to keep pretending.
After all, the emperor still had to create his own affectionate persona.
"I'm afraid Concubine Duan won't be able to rest well if Wen Yi is here. Otherwise, why don't you take Wen Yi to your place to live for a while first."
Nian Shilan really didn't expect this when he heard this, and looked at the emperor with surprise on his face.
Concubine Duan realized that the emperor wanted her to think that Nian Shilan just mentioned Wen Yi with the intention of taking Wen Yi away.
As a result, Concubine Duan became anxious.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen's wife already has two princesses, as well as the eighth prince, Wen Yi. Wen Yi should let her stay with me. It won't affect me."
Nian Shilan understood in her heart when she saw Concubine Duan looking so anxious.
But she didn't speak.
If everyone spoke up, wouldn't the emperor be unable to continue acting?
The emperor stepped forward and patted Concubine Duan on the back to calm her down and said, "You are not in good health. You should be quiet. I didn't think carefully at the time."
