When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince is almost at the Yikun Palace. Your Highness's wish has finally come true. Now you have finally become the Fourth Prince's adoptive mother in a legitimate manner."

Songzhi spoke in Nian Shilan's ear.

Nian Shilan was very happy that her wish had come true, but she did not lose her vigilance.

"Don't make this too grand, don't let people see your intentions. Let the Fourth Prince stay in the side hall first, and come to the main hall to pay respects before dinner."

"Yes."

This arrangement was made because Nian Shilan had important things to do.

She did not return to her main hall first, but went to Concubine Li's side hall.

When Mo Hua saw that it was her, he immediately bowed respectfully, "Good luck to Her Majesty Hua."

"Is Lady Li awake?"

"To reply to the Imperial Concubine, he has woken up and is taking medicine now."

Nian Shilan nodded, "Did Doctor Xie come today?"

"She came and said that Lady Li still needs to be taken care of for a few days. We must not be careless and ask the servants to take good care of her."

Nian Shilan strode forward, walking briskly and giving instructions as he went.

"Then you will serve well. If there is any mistake, watch out for your heads. Also, drive everyone out of this palace and do not allow them to come in. Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs this afternoon to get a new batch of servants."

The news of Li Ying's pregnancy must have been reported to the Queen by a palace servant.

She was merely an assistant in charge of the six palaces, and her power was not as long as that of the queen.

Especially since the current Ministry of Internal Affairs is not hers, she naturally cannot fully guarantee that the people around Li Ying are arranged by her.

So this sudden major reshuffle was to replace the queen's spies.

Mo Hua understood Nian Shilan's personality very well, so he bowed immediately and did it right away.

After sending all the palace people away, Nian Shilan pushed open the door of Concubine Li's bedroom.

Concubine Li was leaning against the bed. When she saw her coming, her face turned unhappy and she became angry.

Panicking, she quickly prepared to get out of bed.

Seeing her getting ready, Nian Shilan said coldly, "What's the point of performing the ceremony at this time? Do you know that the baby in your belly is almost gone?"

Tears welled up in Concubine Li's eyes. Her red and swollen eyes showed that she had cried many times since she woke up.

"My Lady, it's my fault. I was confused and drank that medicine. Please forgive me, Lady."

Concubine Li cried.

"How can I forgive you? You are only sorry for yourself. Your stupidity and ignorance can only hurt yourself, but not me. Li Ying, I will tell you the truth. If it weren't for your brother, I wouldn't even look at you."

Concubine Li burst into tears and her shoulders shook violently.

"Your Highness, by praising my brother, you are praising the Li family. I really shouldn't do that. Please don't vent your anger on my family and my brother."

Nian Shilan sneered, walked forward and pinched her chin.

"I am taking my anger out on you? You are really ridiculous. Do you know what you would face if your maid Mo Hua was smart and cooperated with Doctor Xie to conceal the fact that you drank the folk medicine prescription, and the truth was known to the Emperor and the Queen Mother?"

She obviously didn't know, and just looked at Nian Shilan with her tearful eyes blinking.

There are two words written in each eye.

One is stupid, the other is foolish.

Nian Shilan pushed her away, and rubbed her hands fiercely on the silk as if something disgusting was stuck on them.

"Not to mention your brother, I'm afraid the Li family will also suffer. This is just ignorance at best, and a deliberate attempt to murder the heir to the throne at worst."

Concubine Li fell to her knees and kept bowing.

Nian Shilan obviously didn't buy her tricks anymore.

What she hates most in her life is people who are extremely ignorant and don't listen to advice.

Li Ying had two points. If it weren't for her brother, she would still be of some use and have a bright future career that could be used by her brother.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't look down on Li Ying at all.

"My Lady, this is not my fault. Please don't take your anger out on the child in my belly. Please protect us both."

Nian Shilan sneered, "Protect? No matter how I protect you, I can't stop you from trying every possible way to die. Do you know who wants to harm you?"

After these words were spoken, Concubine Li was obviously stunned for a moment.

He spoke stiffly, his mouth full of disbelief.

"My Lady, what you said..."

"I have shown your prescription to Xie Yun. It is just an ordinary prescription for keeping the baby safe. Not to mention that it does not contain any secrets for giving birth to a boy, it is not even as good as the ordinary prescriptions for keeping the baby safe in the palace. How could it cause you to have constant abdominal pain and slight bleeding?"

Concubine Li raised her head and said, "Yes, is there someone trying to harm me?"

After that, he asked painfully as if he was crazy, "Who is it? Who wants to harm my child? Is it Concubine Qi? She must hate me. It must be her."

Nian Shilan bent slightly and looked at her.

"Lady Qi doesn't know that you are pregnant. You and I have kept it a secret so well that even the Emperor doesn't know. How could she know?"

Lady Li seemed to have thought of something and said, "Yes, no one knows that I am pregnant. Who is it? Is it someone outside the palace?"

Seeing that she couldn't guess the answer correctly after a long time, Nian Shilan simply reminded her.

"You are communicating with people outside the palace, so the Queen will naturally know about it. As long as she checks the prescription you want and the purpose, she will be able to guess it. Or, the Queen has already planted spies in your palace, and when your prescription is brought into the palace, she will make a little move when boiling the medicine, and she will succeed."

Concubine Li collapsed to the ground, as if she had learned something terrible.

She opened her mouth slightly, she never expected that the queen had a kind face, dignified and gentle.

He turned out to be the murderer behind his death.

She couldn't believe it.

"My Lady, please protect me. I really won't dare to do that again. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

After realizing that the queen was not a good person, Concubine Li begged Nian Shilan like crazy.

Nian Shilan pursed her lips, and a subtle curve appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Fortunately, you are blessed with a long life. You can rest assured to take care of your baby. I will do my best to protect you."

"only……"

She changed the subject and said, "When you give birth to a child, if it's a prince, I'm afraid many eyes in the palace will be on you again. And if it's a princess, given your mother's family, I'm afraid the princess will have a hard time in the future."

When Concubine Li heard this, she spoke immediately.

"My Lady, whether I give birth to a prince or a princess, please allow me to raise them by your side. I know that I am not capable enough and do not have the experience to raise a princess. I only ask that you give the children a chance to live."

Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows.

Fortunately, although Concubine Li is stupid, she is sensible.

This has been her purpose from the beginning to the end.

Nian Shilan stood up and said, "I have already had everyone in your palace replaced with another group of capable palace servants. And except for Mo Hua who will serve you closely, don't let anyone get close to you."
