Nian Shilan's injuries were not serious, and her so-called fainting was intentional.

Although the Nian family has fallen, the items that were once sent to the palace are still there.

A pill that can change the pulse and protect the heart and lungs is not too rare, so she naturally has it.

As for the others who overstepped the boundaries, they were burned to death without any evidence, so Nian Shilan had no reason to feel sorry for them.

The same is true for gold, silver and jewelry.

She would never have the chance to wear the phoenix hairpin and phoenix crown again in her lifetime. The head ornament inlaid with a large number of precious jewels and even oriental pearls were kept at the bottom of the box as she could not take them with her after her death, so she might as well out of sight to out of mind.

It was only three quarters past three in the morning when Nian Shilan woke up.

"Songzhi..."

Songzhi, who was sitting on a low stool beside her bed, did not sleep well. Although she knew part of Nian Shilan's plan, she did not know that Nian Shilan had taken a life-saving pill in advance.

Hearing the hoarse voice calling her, Songzhi suddenly jumped up, rushed to the bed and burst into tears.

"My lady, why are you doing this..."

"Are you thirsty, Madam? I will go and get you a cup of pear tea to moisten your lungs. What would you like to eat? You need to fill your stomach so that you can take the medicine..."

Songzhi's nagging made Nian Shilan's slightly weak brain feel a little buzzing.

In the past, she would have angrily called him "noisy", but now she just smiled and said, "Pour two cups of pear tea. I don't think you are any better."

"My lady..."

"Why do you call me that? Come over here and tell me."

Since her demotion, Nian Shilan has never called herself "this young master".

She didn't admit it.

Changing it to 'I' was her last bit of self-respect, and Songzhi also noticed this. If there were no outsiders around, she would call Nian Shilan 'Miss'.

Now this 'Empress' seemed quite unfamiliar to her.

Songzhi fed the pear juice into Nian Shilan's mouth. The sweet and delicious taste instantly made her entire chest feel clear.

Her treatment seems to have returned.

At this time, Songzhi explained to Nian Shilan,

"In reply to your Majesty, the Emperor has restored your title and promoted your position. You are now Concubine Hua."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Nian Shilan sneered, but was not too surprised.

She thought that by taking advantage of the situation she had been set upon, she could just protect herself and prevent Zhen Huan from falling into her trap, and at the same time, she could make her life easier by playing a pitiful role. She never expected that this would be the result.

Concubine Qi is really capable.

Thinking of this, Nian Shilan also became curious. She quickly straightened her body, leaned on the comfortable cushion, and asked Song Zhi,

"What happened last night? Tell me in detail."

"Last night, there was a fire in Suiyu Pavilion..."

Although Songzhi did not observe the entire process, she heard every detail of the case being solved in Yongshou Palace.

From the fire in Yikun Palace, to her escaping first as planned, to creating a dangerous situation where Nian Shilan could not be rescued, to her running to Suiyuxuan screaming in disgrace after Longshati...

Nian Shilan's expression changed from being determined to regain her position to being stunned by a series of unexpected events controlled by Wen Yuan.

She just felt as if she had returned to her boudoir and went to a teahouse to listen to an opera.

"You said Suxi died in the warehouse of Suiyuxuan?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Nian Shilan took a breath of cold air.

The original intention of keeping Suxi away from Yikun Palace was to take advantage of the situation and at the same time distance himself from the matter, but...how come this stupid eunuch could be so useful in Concubine Qi's hands?

When he died, he happened to die in the warehouse of Shuiyuxuan and was almost burned to ashes, which directly proved that Xiao Yunzi had murdered to silence him.

The eunuch Xiao Yunzi was as cunning as a loach. She had tried to target him several times but failed to bring him down, but Concubine Qi just... just did it all at once?

Nian Shilan has been unwilling to admit that she is not capable since she was young, but now she is truly convinced.

If she has to be so stupid in the palace, she should just be a legitimate daughter of a poor military general.

There's nothing wrong in being compared with Concubine Qi. Look at Concubine Qi's Third Prince. Isn't he just like the chives in the field, growing taller?

"Please have another cup of tea and tell me more specifically.

Oh, by the way, you just said that the trial was held in Yongshou Palace, and Concubine Duan was here, but Concubine Qi was still in Chuxiu Palace?"

"Yes, Madam. Madam Qi was ill. When she saw the thick smoke billowing from the Yikun Palace, she summoned the imperial physician directly and asked Longsha to pass a message to the emperor, saying that she would follow the doctor's orders and would not dare to act on her own, and asked the emperor not to worry."

"..."

cow.

Even though no one is here, there are still many things to do.

What the maidservant Qi said was probably a veiled sarcasm.

Although he may not be able to do other things, Nian Shilan has been influenced a lot in the palace and can appreciate this aspect.

Those who are in poor health would have already hidden themselves away long ago, so how could they come close to you?

The ones ordered were Concubine Duan and Yixiu, who suffered from headache every day.

After listening to the story, Nian Shilan even felt a little regretful. If she had the brains of Concubine Qi when she was sixteen, the position of the old woman Yixiu would have been hers long ago.

And her child would not be able to survive the conspiracy of the treacherous people when he is fully formed...

"My lady... don't cry, I'm fine now, everything is fine now..."

"No, Songzhi, I will never get well in this life."

Nian Shilan understood the chaos of this evening.

She surrendered her integrity, and Concubine Qi showed her her means and deterrence.

Nian Shilan looked out the window and murmured to Songzhi, who knew nothing about the future that had already been determined.

“Songzhi… our lives are being used as knives by others.

Must make a good knife.

We want... revenge."

next day

After waking up, Yinzhen's bad mood was not so bad anymore.

Shoukang Palace claimed to be ill and specifically asked the Empress, Concubine Wan, Concubine Qi and others to take care of her.

But Yinzhen said, "Is she really that ill? As the biological son of the Empress Dowager, I have no choice but to do my duty. I will stop attending court today and personally pray for her. " This made him speechless.

After Su Peisheng brought the imperial physician Akten to see the empress dowager, he was diagnosed with liver qi reflux and needed to be a vegetarian for half a month, take auxiliary medicine, and relax her mood.

The Queen Mother said nothing more, and the Imperial Physician Akundun was rewarded and promoted to the new head of the hospital.

In the end, the responsibility of the empress dowager's health care was handed over to the imperial physician in Shoukang Palace, but the issue of vegetarianism was used as an excuse by Yinzhen when he attended court.

He was worried about the empress dowager's physical and mental health, so during the period when she was recuperating, he specifically instructed the Ministry of Rites to arrange for officials and women to enter the palace to accompany her.

I value filial piety the most.

This behavior, coupled with the fact that the emperor had previously shown an attitude of wanting to close the court, made even the Censorate unable to find any fault.

Isn't it because of the word "filial piety" that the Queen Mother feels fearless again and again?

If she is unkind as a mother and disrespectful to her elders, how can she, as the Empress Dowager, be respected by filial piety and the people of the world?

So this time, both Qipin's mother, Jueluo, and Wanpin's mother, Peng, were there to serve the sick.

The princesses, princesses of counties and other ladies of noble rank came into the palace in groups of two or three to attend to the sick, and everyone saw it.

Go ahead and make trouble if you have the guts!
