"It's all because of that bitch. Not only did I lose my little prince, but the emperor also treated me worse than before! Bitch! Bitch! Why doesn't she just die!"

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai were already accustomed to Nian Shilan's sudden outbursts. Even if fragments flew onto them, they would kneel where they were and not dare to move at all.

Only after everything at hand was smashed to the ground did Nian Shilan fall to the ground, tears streaming down her face like pearls from a broken string, and she was murmuring softly.

"The Emperor has never treated me like this before."

Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Songzhi and the other person dared to kneel down and crawl over to comfort Nian Shilan carefully.

"How could the emperor blame the queen? It was the noble lady Wan who insisted on making a big deal out of it. The emperor had to punish you in order to give an explanation to the harem."

While saying what Nian Shilan liked to hear, Songzhi secretly observed her expression. Nian Shilan was moved by her words. Songzhi felt relieved, but continued to persuade her without stopping.

"Besides, the Emperor loves our Princess Shuya so much. Maybe in a few days, the Emperor will come to see the Empress and the princess. At that time, he may even release the Empress from house arrest in advance. He will never forget the Empress."

Seeing that Nian Shilan listened to Songzhi's words, Zhou Ninghai next to her also spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty, and the general is still in the capital. When the general knows about this, he will definitely not watch Your Majesty suffer. He will definitely plead for Your Majesty. Then it will be easy for Your Majesty to regain her position as a concubine."

The two of them talked back and forth, and everything they said hit Nian Shilan's sore spot.

Sure enough, after these words entered Nian Shilan's ears, a trace of spirit slowly returned to her eyes.

"Yes, I still have Shuya and my brother. The emperor will not forget me."

A glimmer of hope rose in Nian Shilan's heart again. She struggled to stand up, but found that she had no strength left because of the previous smashing and destroying.

Seeing this, Songzhi quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead, carefully helped Nian Shilan to stand up, and waited for everyone to sit down on the couch. Songzhi looked at her master whose face was a little pale with heartache, and made a suggestion.

"My lady, can I help you to rest for a while?"

Unfortunately, Nian Shilan was feeling uneasy at the moment. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face. She forced herself to straighten her back and relaxed for a while, then turned to give instructions to Songzhi.

"Songzhi, go check on Shuya to see if she's awake. I miss her a little bit."

Songzhi agreed to everything Nian Shilan asked. Now, as long as Nian Shilan could be happy, she would be willing to die.

So after confirming that Nian Shilan had no other instructions for her, Songzhi ignored the pain in her knee and trotted towards the side hall to pick up Princess Shuya.

After Songzhi ran away, Concubine Hua turned and looked at Zhou Ninghai.

"Go find Cao Qinmo and ask her to come and see me secretly this afternoon."

"Hey, I'll do it right away."

In fact, Zhou Ninghai was not very confident about Nian Shilan staying alone, but seeing that his master insisted, he had no choice but to limp out to do the work.

But before leaving, he called Jinxiu, the most pleasing concubine in Yikun Palace besides Songzhi, and asked her to go into the palace to serve Nian Shilan.

He ordered a few palace maids to go in and clean up the bedroom. After everything was settled, Zhou Ninghai got up and went to Qixiang Palace to find Cao Qinmo.

"My lady, please have some tea to moisten your mouth."

After receiving Zhou Ninghai's instructions, the puppet Jinxiu did not go in directly, but first made a cup of tea. After it was eight-tenths hot, she walked into the hall holding the cup.

She lowered her head, pretending that she didn't see Nian Shilan wiping her tears. After Nian Shilan concealed her expression and took the teacup, Jinxiu knelt on the footstool and tapped Nian Shilan's legs.

Nian Shilan was a little angry when Jinxiu suddenly broke in and caught her in such a miserable state, but when she saw that the other party did not look up at her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave Jinxiu a sensible look.

Seeing this, Jinxiu secretly raised the corners of her mouth. After glancing at Nian Shilan's messy hair, Jinxiu opened her mouth again and made a suggestion softly.

"Your Highness, Princess Shuya likes to see you wearing a hairpin the most. How about I help you wash and dress?"

Jinxiu's words were cryptic, but Nian Shilan was no fool. She understood the meaning of her words. Moreover, facing Shuya, even though she was just a child, Nian Shilan wanted to always show her most perfect side to her daughter.

So she agreed. Jinxiu helped Nian Shilan into the inner room and helped her change her clothes first. Then she sat in front of the dressing table to fix her makeup and hair.

Just looking at herself in the mirror, Nian Shilan suddenly felt a little flustered for some reason.

"beautiful"

"The slave is here"

Jinxiu responded softly to Concubine Hua's question, but her hands did not stop moving.

"Tell me, am I getting old?"

As she spoke, Nian Shilan placed her hands on her face.

"How could it be? Your Majesty is a natural beauty. Not to mention the noble ladies in the harem, even the Manchu and Mongolian ladies combined, no one can compare to your beauty."

Of course, everyone except our master, Jinxiu added in his heart.

"But why is the emperor not as kind to me as before?"

If it were an ordinary Nian Shilan, she would be very happy to hear these words, but at this moment, her mind was filled with Yongzheng's opinion of her, so there was still an unresolved sadness in her eyes.

Carefully placing the removed jewelry before packing it in a box, Jinxiu looked up and glanced at Nian Shilan in the mirror. Then she sighed deeply, looked into Nian Shilan's eyes, and spoke in a very seductive voice.

"Your Highness, I am sorry to say something presumptuous. After all, the Emperor is the ruler of the world. He has to deal with countless things every day. Of course, he is busier than when he was in the palace. That is why he has less time to see you."

Thanks to Nian Shilan for not objecting, Jinxiu paused and continued what she was saying.

"But you see, even though the emperor is so busy, he still comes to the palace the most every month. Even if he doesn't come, he never fails to give you rewards. Let's take our eldest princess for example. Which princess is more favored by the emperor than our princess?

The emperor punished the queen this time because he was angry with her. In the past, no matter how wrong the queen did, the emperor didn't care because it was just a fight between women, but the queen really went too far this time..."

"presumptuous"

But Jinxiu hadn't finished her words yet. Hearing this, Nian Shilan started to scold her in a panic.

Originally, she thought what Jinxiu said was quite pleasant to the ear, but when she heard Jinxiu saying that she was wrong, Nian Shilan, who had never been lectured by anyone, couldn't help but feel a little angry.

What made her most angry was that she knew she had done something wrong, and her scar was suddenly touched. Nian Shilan's eyebrows immediately became sharp, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Jinxiu also became sharp.

In response to Nian Shilan's attack, Jinxiu just knelt on the ground calmly and continued to speak fearlessly despite the other party's angry eyes.
