Nian Shilan looked at the emperor who fell on the ground, hesitated for a while, and then stepped forward carefully.
The emperor's eyes were open, and Nian Shilan reached out to close his eyes.
"Shilan."
Nian Gengyao looked at Nian Shilan and shouted worriedly.
Nian Shilan stood up and took a deep breath.
"I'm fine."
"What to do with the body?"
This can't be left in Nian Mansion. If someone discovers this, it will be a big deal.
"I'll have someone take it away at night."
Nian Shilan thought that even though the emperor treated her badly, she still wanted to give him dignity and bury him in the imperial mausoleum.
Nian Gengyao was a little worried when he saw Nian Shilan leaving. He wanted someone to follow him, but was stopped by Nian Shilan.
When Nian Shilan returned to the palace, he arranged for Zhou Ninghai to go with Nian Yi to bury the emperor that night.
"Wait,"
Zhou Ninghai and Nian Yi were about to leave after hearing what Nian Shilan said, but Nian Shilan spoke again: "I will go with you tonight."
"Queen Mother."
Both of them said in shock: "No."
"Aijia, go see him off and see you off for the last time."
The self Nian Shilan talks about is the self from the previous life.
It's time to say goodbye to that self.
"Queen Mother, Concubine Xi is here."
Nian Shilan waved his hand and asked Zhou Ninghai and Nian Yi to leave.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother."
Zhen Huan came in, looking very unhappy.
"What's wrong with you?"
Nian Shilan asked.
"Sister Mei, I'm afraid our time is running out."
Zhen Huan originally thought that their lives would be easier now that the emperor was gone. But I didn't expect that Shenmeizhuang still couldn't survive it.
Nian Shilan didn't know what to say when he heard Zhen Huan's words.
"Where's Hongluo?"
"Sixth Brother has returned to Qixiang Palace."
Since Shenmeizhuang was brought back, Zhen Huan sent Sixth Brother back.
Nian Shilan nodded: "I think with Sixth Brother by my side, Meizhuang will be more at ease."
"correct,"
Zhen Huan looked at the people around her, and Liu Zhu led them down.
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan with some confusion.
"The late Emperor, have you ever found him?"
What Zhen Huan said was not subtle, and Nian Shilan didn't want to hide it from her.
"Buried in the imperial mausoleum at night."
"That...."
Zhen Huan stood up after listening to Nian Shilan's words: "Concubine, can you go and give me a gift?"
In the final analysis, the emperor in this life did not do anything to Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan only acted to protect herself.
Zhen Huan still has some affection for the emperor.
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan, who had a pleading look on her face. Nian Shilan still relented and nodded.
In the middle of the night, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan put on the clothes of palace maids and followed Zhou Ninghai out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, going to Nian Mansion, and then to the imperial mausoleum, neither of them spoke a word.
Nian Shilan looked at the moment when the imperial mausoleum was closed, and then said to himself: Everything is over.
"what did you say?"
Zhen Huan looked unhappy and shed some tears, but she had no regrets.
Hearing Nian Shilan talking to himself, he thought she was talking to him.
"Nothing, it's getting late, let's go back."
Nian Shilan smiled and turned around and walked back: "The emperor is too young now, Ai Jia thought, otherwise, Hong Li will be the emperor."
Zhen Huan looked a little unbelievable when she heard Nian Shilan's words.
Can this be replaced?
Nian Shilan could naturally guess what Zhen Huan was thinking.
Concubine Kang originally did not want Brother Jiu to be the emperor.
This emperor is not that easy to take on.
Especially now that Brother Nine is still so young, who knows what will happen.
Zhen Huan didn't have any objections. She nodded and said, "I have no objections, but how can Concubine Kang and the courtiers agree?"
"The Ai family can arrange these things."
Nian Shilan also thought about this all night, and she still wanted to fulfill the emperor's wish.
She would not let her son be the emperor. She just wanted her son to be an idle prince. With a Nian family and a Hesheli family, he would definitely be carefree.
The day after Nian Shilan finished talking to Zhen Huan, he found Kang Bin.
"I naturally agree."
Kang Concubine said without thinking: "If the Queen Mother's mother's family is gone, I'm afraid the Qing Dynasty will not be stable. I have had enough of staying in this palace, and I want to go to the west, and I want to take Jiu Age with me. Walk."
Nian Shilan didn't expect Kang Bin to have such an idea, but after thinking about it carefully, it became clear.
"The Aijia Association will report that the new emperor has died of illness, and you are too sad."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After Kang Bin finished speaking, she left.
Now that the decision had been made, Nian Shilan immediately made arrangements for Concubine Kang to take Brother Jiu out of the palace.
A few days later, Nian Shilan announced the national mourning again, and the new emperor died of illness.
For a time, people were panicked.
When Nian Shilan was still thinking about how to make Brother Xia successfully succeed to the throne, Princess Chaogui returned to the court.
Also returning with Chao Gui was Li Wei.
Nian Shilan glanced at Li Wei and said nothing, but Li Wei never appeared again.
"You're back."
Nian Shilan returned to Shoukang Palace with Chao Gei and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine."
Chao Gui took Nian Shilan's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, if it weren't for the people you brought me, Chao Gui really doesn't know if there would be a chance to come back to see you."
"No matter how difficult it is, we have passed it, and we will have good days from now on."
Nian Shilan understood what Chao Gui meant and comforted her and said, "What's the matter with you coming back this time?"
"The one named Li Wei brought the emperor's own handwriting, saying that you announced that the emperor had faked his death and had appointed a new king. He asked me to come back and take a look no matter what."
Chao Gui said sarcastically: "Now that Zhungeer has stabilized internally, Genhe has supported us mother and son. I thought it wouldn't hurt to come back and take a look."
"You are far away in Zhungeer alone. You must have suffered a lot of grievances when you came here."
Nian Shilan looked at Chao Gui and said, "It's good that you're back now. There's just something you can help me with."
"Is it about establishing a new emperor?"
Chao Gei had already heard the news of the new emperor's death on his way back, so he guessed that Nian Shilan might not be able to make up his mind now.
"Don't worry, with me here, the Eighth Prince will be the new emperor."
Chao Gui thought that Nian Shilan wanted to make his son the emperor.
But unexpectedly, Nian Shilan shook his head: "It would be great if this were the case. The Ai family doesn't want the eighth prince to be the emperor."
