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

After Su Peisheng finished speaking, although he was bowing, his two cunning eyes were hiding under the brim of his hat, sizing up Concubine Hua.

"Oh? Wanpin is in there?"

"Yes, Wanpin has just been summoned by the emperor."

Nian Shilan thought about it and said with a smile, "That's fine. I won't go in. Please ask Eunuch Su to bring the medicinal food in."

"Whoo."

There is no need for Wanpin to make herself miserable in there.

After leaving the imperial study, Nian Shilan went to Yanqing Palace.

Qi Yuebin seemed to have expected her to come and was standing at the door to greet her.

When he met Nian Shilan, they smiled at each other.

Nian Shilan walked up to her and pulled her towards the room. "Why are you standing outside in the wind? Didn't the imperial physician warn you a few days ago to stay out of the wind?"

She has a spoiled face, but her tone is not gentle when she shows concern for others.

But the anger and concern make people feel warm in their hearts.

Qi Yuebin looked at her with gentle eyes, "The emperor came here suddenly yesterday. I knew it was you who said something to the emperor. I thought you would come today, so I waited outside."

The two men entered the house and sat on each other's left and right.

Jixiang hurriedly brought over the tea and snacks he had prepared.

"What can I say? I can only persuade the emperor if he has my sister in his heart. If not, it will be useless even if I talk till my tongue is rotten."

Nian Shilan relaxed and joked with her.

Qi Yuebin covered his mouth and smiled, "Eat something, I can't stop you from eating."

After saying that, he pushed the pastry in front of him towards her.

In fact, Nian Shilan loves snacks very much.

I like cakes and desserts the most.

That's why Nian Gengyao felt sorry for his sister and stuffed a lot of cooks into her small kitchen.

But later on, she became particularly concerned about her image and attached great importance to the emperor. Whenever there was anything delicious, she would give priority to selecting it and sending it to the emperor.

However, only Qi Yuebin, who used to live in the mansion, knew about her love for food.

"I wanted to ask the kitchen to make you some crab roe cakes, but today Jixiang went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and didn't get any good ingredients, so I can only make these. Do you think they suit your taste?"

"I guess this cinnamon cake was made by my sister herself? I can taste it and it resembles the craftsmanship of my sister back then." Nian Shilan said with a squeak after filling her mouth.

Although it was difficult for her to speak, Qi Yuebin quickly understood what she said.

"It was indeed me who made it. Okay, you can eat it."

Nian Shilan nodded and swallowed the delicious food in her mouth.

The two of them sat quietly while Qi Yuebin fiddled with the silk thread beside them.

After Nian Shilan finished eating, he asked someone to take it away, then dismissed his attendants and only left Songzhi and Jixiang to serve him.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yuebin raised his eyebrows, feeling strange.

Nian Shilan turned her eyes and said, "Wen Yi has grown a lot taller this year. Has your sister seen it?"

"I have seen her. She is really cute, especially her watery eyes. I really like her."

When she mentioned Wen Yi, a kind smile appeared on her face.

"Sis loves Wen Yi so much, so I let Wen Yi live with you and raise him."

When talking about this big event, Nian Shilan acted as if he was talking about an ordinary trivial matter, not caring at all.

Qi Yuebin was stunned for a moment, "How can this be done? I'm sure Concubine Cao won't agree."

Nian Shilan disagreed, "She is just a noble lady, and she cannot take care of the royal heir. Besides, Cao Qinmo is cunning, and Wen Yi is getting older. I am afraid that Wen Yi will learn from her."

After that, the two of them were silent.

After a long while, Qi Yuebin finally spoke, "Why don't you stay by her side and raise her? If she can't, you should be the first choice."

"My sister is incompetent and used to being arrogant. It's ok to raise a prince, I can teach him a lesson, but I really can't handle a princess. Besides, you know me, I have no patience, and I get a headache when I make a fuss, unlike you, my sister."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she asked again, "Sister, do you have this intention?"

"I like Wen Yi in my heart, but I have developed feelings for her after following Concubine Cao for so long. She followed me for no reason, so she might be resentful." Qi Yuebin shook his head.

Nian Shilan patted her slender hands and said, "Since you are willing, I will do it."

After that, the two of them didn't discuss this topic anymore.

……

"My lady, there was news just now from outside the palace that Lord Cao has been promoted to the position of the commander of the infantry battalion of the Cavalry Battalion."

Yinxiu came in happily to pass on the message.

Cao Qinmo quickly put down the little thing she had given to Wen Yixiu and looked at Yinxiu in surprise, "Really? Did my brother really get a promotion?"

Yinxiu nodded heavily, "Of course, the news from the people around Concubine Hua is only true."

He was actually an officer in the Cavalry Battalion.

Although he is only a small battalion commander, the Cavalry Battalion is definitely a good place to be. And with the protection of the Nian family, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted in the future.

Cao Qinmo didn't expect that Nian Shilan would handle this matter so readily.

Those who used to hand over silver directly to Concubine Hua as bribe to sell official positions now pass it through her.

Originally she felt uneasy, after all, the emperor hated corrupt officials.

But unexpectedly, I received good news today.

That’s great! If my brother could be helpful in the previous dynasty, Wen Yi wouldn’t have to worry about the future.

Cao Qinmo pinched Wen Yi's little face, her brows lit up with joy, she was really happy.

"Little Wen Yi, that's great. From now on you will have someone to rely on. Shall we go and pay our respects to Empress Hua tomorrow?"

Wen Yi was puzzled. She blinked her big black-lashed eyes and asked in a baby voice, "Why?"

"Because starting from tomorrow, Concubine Hua will be Wen Yi's stepmother. Wen Yi has to call her mother, okay?" Cao Qin explained to her in a soft voice.

Wen Yi nodded obediently.

She happily held the child in her arms, filled with joy.

"Now the young lady can finally rest assured. She was always worried these days, which made me very anxious." Yinxiu was also happy to see this.

But Cao Qinmo's smile gradually froze. "I have been feeling uneasy these days. Ever since Wanpin's miscarriage, Hua Fei has become a different person. Although she treats me better than before, I still have to be more careful."

Besides, if the corruption and bribery are really investigated, she will not be able to escape the blame.

"No matter how strange Concubine Hua is, she is still Concubine Hua. Besides, Concubine Hua is willing to protect you, so why don't you take advantage of the opportunity to climb up?"

"you are right."

Cao Qinmo lowered her head and teased Wen Yi.

If Concubine Hua were to die one day, she would blame everything on her.

After all, no one could believe that a mere noble lady could be corrupt in the harem. She would definitely say that Concubine Hua forced her to do it.

Thinking of this, she smiled with satisfaction.

It wasn't funny for long before he suddenly started coughing rapidly.

She hurriedly pushed Wen Yi away, leaned aside and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

She lifted the veil and took a look.

It turned out to be - blood!
