Unimportant person: "Hurry up, I brought some delicious food. You promised to tell me a story."

Another person responded: "Then I'll tell you a story about a wealthy businessman."

Zhen Huan walked very slowly, so even though she didn't listen specifically, every word she heard reached her ears.

Unimportant people: "Once upon a time there was a wealthy businessman who had a very capable subordinate. This subordinate, with his own talents, continued to expand the business for the wealthy businessman.

Gradually, the subordinates began to make demands to the wealthy businessman, relying on their own merits.

At first, the rich businessman agreed to all of them. Gradually, the conditions proposed by this subordinate became more and more excessive. The rich businessman did not rebuke him, but smiled and agreed to all of his conditions.

Until one day, the other subordinates united and sued this man. The rich businessman then changed his attitude and dealt with this subordinate with great regret.

Afterwards, the rich businessman not only calmed the people’s anger, but also made them more loyal to him.”

As Zhen Huan walked slowly, the story she had just heard circulated in her mind.

The more he listened, the more he felt that his subordinates' situations were very similar to General Nian's.

Isn't the emperor indulging General Nian and Concubine Hua without any reason at this moment?

She was well-versed in the Comprehensive History of History, so she had naturally heard of the story of a man whose achievements surpassed his master's. Could it be that the emperor was also condoning General Nian's mistakes?

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel happy.

Back at Suiyuxuan, she endured the pain, gritted her teeth, and asked the maid to rub the bruises on her legs with great force.

She was determined to confirm her thoughts and she believed that her judgment was correct.

The two people who were chatting in the Imperial Garden also returned to the Imperial Household Department after Zhen Huan left to report to Xiao Shanzi.

After receiving the news, Xiao Shanzi immediately ran to Qixiang Palace to report to Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang was sorting out her manuscript in the study and sighing. Nian Shilan's plan was full of mistakes and omissions, and she needed to check and fill in the gaps later.

The rest depends on when Zhen Huan goes to the Qianqing Palace. She doesn't need to worry about anything else.

Nian Shilan bribed a palace maid who made tea in the Qianqing Palace. At first, the maid did not dare to pass on the message for her. Only after she heard that she only needed to eavesdrop on the conversation between Zhen Huan and the emperor, did she agree.

Zhen Huan's injuries had not yet healed, so she hurried to the Qianqing Palace.

Yinzhen has been very annoyed in recent days. The Empress Dowager often calls him to the Cining Palace for meals.

But every time she went there, Qingying would be asked to serve her. There were so many palace maids waiting, but she was the one who was asked to serve the food.

At first, Yinzhen didn't react, until he saw the empress dowager every time he went to the Cining Palace and saw her often asking people to send things to the Qianqing Palace, then he understood what the empress dowager meant.

This made Yinzhen hold his forehead with his hands. Even the most beastly person would not have any interest in a girl of eleven or twelve years old. What kind of person did she think of him?

From that day on, he deliberately avoided her. Even if the empress dowager had something to discuss with him, he would try to put it off, but contact was still unavoidable.

When Zhen Huan came in, she saw that the emperor looked worried. She handed the food box to the eunuch, then walked behind the emperor and gently massaged his temples.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You look so worried. Please take care of yourself!"

Yinzhen leaned back, closed his eyes, and continued to enjoy Zhen Huan's service.

Zhen Huan secretly glanced at the memorials on the desk, several of which were spread out.

In addition to the daily greetings, many of them were impeachments against General Nian, which made Zhen Huan happy.

After Yinzhen felt more comfortable, he pulled Zhen Huan to sit next to him and the two started chatting.

Zhen Huan intentionally steered the conversation back to the general, and finally, cautiously probing, "Your Majesty, I was wrongly accused. I did not break anything in the Yikun Palace that day."

Yinzhen nodded slightly.

Zhen Huan was delighted when she saw this. It seemed that the emperor must believe her.

On the other hand, he knew everything that Concubine Hua had done.

Then he continued, "I just can't stand her arrogance and domineering attitude. She is just as bold as her brother.

I feel that spreading the truth about their crimes will help the people know the truth and prevent them from being deceived..."

Before he could finish his words, Yinzhen raised his hand and stopped him, saying, "It's not time yet!!!"

Just one sentence made Zhen Huan overjoyed. The emperor's attitude was self-evident. He was just waiting for an opportunity.

Even though she already knew the answer, she didn't try to probe further and instead started talking about other topics.

Yinzhen was also pleased with Zhen Huan's understanding.

The young palace maid naturally did not understand the meaning of this; she simply passed on the conversation between the two verbatim.

When Nian Shilan listened to the report from the little palace maid, she was initially just angry that Zhen Huan was by the emperor's side, flattering her and his brother and saying bad things about him.

As she gradually heard more and more rumors and slanderous words, Nian Shilan could no longer control her temper and was on the verge of exploding.

Until she heard the words, "It's not time yet", it was like a basin of cold water was poured on her, making her whole body cold and chilled to the bone. She trembled all over and said nothing.

It was Songzhi who discovered something was wrong and sent the little palace maid out in time.

Before she returned to the house, she heard crackling and smashing sounds in the house, but no one was shouting.

Nian Shilan bit her lips tightly and suppressed her anger in her chest. The moment she saw Songzhi, she could no longer hold on and fell backwards.

The floor of the room was littered with broken porcelain pieces, and Songzhi was so frightened that she quickly put them under her body to prevent her from getting hurt more seriously.

However, after falling down, he did not wake up for three days and three nights.

Songzhi was so frightened that she was at a loss of her mind. She could only send someone to invite Shen Meizhuang to come and make a decision for her queen.

At this time, Songzhi didn't dare to trust anyone, and she didn't even know how to make up the reason for her fainting.

When Shen Meizhuang arrived, she immediately sought out the imperial physician and confirmed that it was just a case of anger attack before letting the man go.

She simply told others that she had accidentally fallen, her condition had worsened, and she needed to stay in the palace to recuperate, and she refused to let anyone visit her.

However, these things could not be hidden from those who were interested, and the Queen Mother received the news immediately.

However, Songzhi handled the little palace maid very well, and no one found out that she had been there. The empress dowager investigated in many ways but could not find the cause, and could only assume that it was indeed caused by a fall.

Today was the day to pay respects to the Cining Palace. Shen Meizhuang packed herself up early and went with Concubine Qi and the other concubines.

After greeting and taking a seat, the empress dowager looked around the room with a smile on her face, and finally fixed her gaze on Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang thought to herself that something bad was going to happen and the Queen Mother was about to make trouble. Feeling anxious, she checked herself from head to toe but could not find anything wrong.

The Queen Mother's face darkened. "Concubine Ning, why have I never seen you wear the red gold Hehe Ruyi hairpin that I gave you as a reward? Don't you like it?"
