Gyeongin Palace

Nian Shilan said to Yixiu anxiously, "Empress, what happened to my brother? Has he been discovered?"

Yixiu shook her head calmly and winked at Jianqiu, indicating that Jianqiu should help Nian Shilan sit down.

Nian Shilan was extremely anxious and rejected Jianqiu's kindness. She continued to ask anxiously, "What should we do now?"

Yixiu said calmly, "If the person behind this knew how anxious you are right now, they would definitely be very happy. You've also been through a lot, so why are you still so impatient?"

Nian Shilan curled the corners of her mouth, sighed, and sat down on the chair.

"I'm just too worried! What we're doing is life-threatening. If we're discovered, not only me and the Nian family, but even your prince and the Ulanara family will have a rough time."

Yixiu smiled slightly and said, "Then you might as well think carefully about it. Why would someone in the court bring evidence of Nian Gengyao's treason to the Crown Prince? In everyone's eyes, Nian Gengyao is already dead. What is the purpose of bringing out such evidence now?"

Nian Shilan subconsciously replied, "What if someone finds out that my brother is not dead?"

Yixiu sneered. If the person who reported it really had such an idea, he would probably be dealt with by Su Chou before the news got out.

"No, you can rest assured that I will do my job. Otherwise, why did you agree to my request in the first place?"

Nian Shilan knew a little about Yixiu's schemes and the prince's abilities.

In addition, my brother has told me more than once that Yixiu's cousin, Lord Su Chou, is more cunning than the holes in a hornet's nest, and ten staff members cannot beat him.

Nian Shilan breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked with some concern, "What else could it be? It can't be targeting the Nian family. Now the Nian family has no one to support them. They are also very honest in the capital and never cause trouble outside."

Yixiu didn't say anything, but looked at Nian Shilan with a half smile.

At this moment, Nian Shilan finally reacted. She asked in disbelief, "Is it targeting me?"

Yixiu nodded, finally getting to the point.

The Nian family is honest, but you, Mr. Nian, are not honest!

Let’s not talk about what happened after the Nian family incident, just think about how many people you offended with your actions in the past.

Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan...

Hua Fei's beautiful eyes flickered, and she angrily slammed the table and cursed, "Don't let me know who did this, or I will never let her go."

Yixiu no longer wanted to play guessing game, she directly told Nian Shilan what she had guessed.

"This matter was most likely orchestrated by Concubine Duan, and Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan also contributed to it."

Nian Shilan's eyes were filled with hatred. Concubine Duan! Concubine Duan again. Concubine Duan almost killed her brother!

Now she is trying to harm the Nian family again, I will not let her go.

"It doesn't matter to Concubine Duan, but you are not allowed to move Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang."

It is advisable to practice Taoism.

Shen Zishan and Zhen Yuandao are still somewhat useful in the court, and these two lines cannot be broken.

As for Concubine Duan, she is really an unstable factor.

She and Nian Shilan had already reached the point of being at war to the death. In addition, because of what she had done, Concubine Duan had feelings for the emperor, and there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen. It would be better to get rid of her.

Although Nian Shilan was somewhat unwilling, she was working under Yixiu after all, and her family and brother were still in Yixiu's hands, so she could only obey Yixiu's orders.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Hua looked at Ruhua in front of her with cold eyes. Since Concubine Duan wanted to use Ruhua to disgust her, don't blame her for giving her a taste of her own medicine.

"If you agree, I know why you came here. Isn't it to share the emperor's worries? I know you love him deeply, but you don't know that my family has long been defeated and can no longer pose any danger to the emperor. However, there is another person in this harem whose family also holds military power."

Ruhua's slippery brain obviously couldn't handle such a long piece of information. She only heard that the current Noble Lady Nian could not pose any threat to the emperor, and that there was someone else who could pose a threat to the emperor.

"who is it?"

Nian Shilan curled her lips and smiled. She didn't expect that Ruhua was so stupid. She wanted to find some excuse to lie to her, but Songzhi told her that someone as stupid as her didn't need to make excuses.

"That's Concubine Duan who lives in Zhongzheng Hall. The Emperor has always been very wary of her. A few years ago, he even gave her a bowl of safflower as a reward, just to prevent her from giving birth to the Emperor's child. Then, her family started to disrupt the court order in order to seize the throne."

Nian Shilan was not afraid at all that these words would spread, because now everyone in Yikun Palace was loyal to her.

When such a big thing happened to the Nian family, these people never left or betrayed, and Nian Shilan was willing to believe them.

As for Ruhua, it goes without saying. Even if Ruhua told others what she said today, who would believe it?

If you tell too many lies, even if you tell the truth one day, people will think you are still lying.

"If you can solve this great problem for the emperor, perhaps the emperor will make you a concubine."

Ruhua's eyes lit up. Although she called herself "this palace" every day, after living in the palace for so many days, she was also clear about the status in the palace.

I am just the last-rank concubine, but if the emperor makes me a concubine, then I will be a legitimate empress in the harem.

But in front of Nian Shilan, Ruhua didn't want to show that she was helping the emperor because of her position.

She said calmly, "I don't care about these positions. I just want to be with the emperor."

Nian Shilan turned away impatiently, not wanting to listen to Ruhua's crazy talk anymore.

Ruhua and Rongpei were driven out by the people from Yikun Palace. Ruhua was lucky. In order to maintain her dignity, she covered her chest with her hands, and the whip even hit her hands.

But Rong Pei was in a miserable state. She was slapped many times and her face was swollen like a pig.

Rong Pei originally thought that Ruhua would take her back to the palace and ask a royal physician to examine her, but she didn't expect Ruhua to take her to Zhongzheng Hall without any concern.

Rong Pei's face was burning with pain. She pleaded with Ruhua, "My lady, my face is really painful. I wonder if we can go back and apply medicine first, and then go to Zhongzheng Hall to help the emperor."

How could Ruhua possibly agree? She pouted, raised her finger, and said seriously:

"Rong Pei, I know you've suffered a lot, but please bear with me for a moment. We must quickly help the Emperor relieve his worries. This is the most important matter."
