Nian Shilan thought about it and felt that it would only happen in the next few days.

He smiled knowingly, looked at Zhou Ninghai and asked again.

"That's great. Have you heard any news about Sui Yuxuan these days? If I remember correctly, Concubine Wan is about to give birth, right?"

Zhou Ninghai nodded: "Your Majesty has a good memory. It happened in the past two days. Doctor Wen has been waiting in Suiyuxuan."

Suddenly, Zhou Ninghai seemed to remember something and said to Nian Shilan.

"Lord Wen asked me to pass on a message to the queen the other day, saying that it is uncertain how far along the Concubine Wan is in her pregnancy, but if she needs it, she can take a bowl of abortion-inducing medicine, and the effect will be the same."

Hearing this, Nian Shilan thought for a moment and then asked again.

"Where is the Emperor today?"

Song Zhi replied: "Xiao Xiazi said that the emperor has been in the Yangxin Palace. After Concubine Qi went there, she said that the queen mother sent someone to take the emperor away. It was Concubine Qi's name that was turned over tonight."

Today the Empress Dowager asked the Emperor to go to Shoukang Palace, she must be talking about the Empress.

The Queen Mother did not want the Emperor to neglect the Queen, so she would probably not be confined to her house for long this time.

In fact, it is just a matter of the harem, and the emperor doesn’t care about it.

Only the harem reached out to the front court, which was an offense that the emperor could not tolerate.

Only then can you understand.

Nian Shilan thought for a while and said calmly, "In this case, let's stir up the people in the Queen's past and ask them to plead for the Queen. If necessary, let Commander Li speak up and ask the Emperor to lift the Queen's confinement."

Scandalous things in the harem should not be made public, so the things the queen did were never spread to the previous dynasty.

For the ministers of the previous dynasty, they only knew that the queen had lost her virtue and was confined to her room by the emperor, but they did not know the reason.

So she would naturally plead with the emperor. After all, if the queen's position is unstable, the harem will be unstable, and if the harem is unstable, the front dynasty will not have peace.

Naturally, the ministers did not want to see such a situation.

Zhou Ninghai nodded and said, "I understand." Then he stepped back.

After everyone left, Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi again.

Songzhi understood immediately and lowered her voice, "The things that your majesty asked me to bring to Suiyuxuan have already been put in. With the cooperation of Imperial Doctors Wen and Xie, Concubine Wan has also taken the things. Everything is going smoothly. Your majesty, don't worry."

Sometimes, Nian Shilan was really grateful that he had such capable assistants.

Otherwise I really don’t know how much I would worry about.

"I'm getting bored staying in the palace all day. Songzhi, get ready and take me for a walk outside."

Nian Shilan suddenly brought it up, and Songzhi didn't understand, "Your Highness, are you going to the Imperial Garden to relax?"

Without answering, Nian Shilan asked her to follow.

The group did not go to the Imperial Garden, but walked towards the Yanxi Palace from the long street.

Songzhi didn't understand why her queen came here. There was only one concubine, An, living in the Yanxi Palace.

Everyone dislikes this place and avoids it as much as possible.

The loneliness here can only be compared to that of the cold palace.

Even An Lingrong was quite shocked by Nian Shilan's arrival.

It's like some unimaginable and elusive feeling.

When Nian Shilan went in, An Lingrong was embroidering at the table.

She had a hard time. Without the help from her sisters, the Imperial Household Department was very critical of her. On days when she couldn't even get her full allotment, she could only do some needlework on her own and have someone take it out of the palace to exchange for some silver.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty Hua. Best wishes to Her Majesty."

An Lingrong bowed with fear and trepidation, not daring to look up, with a lot of questions in her mind.

Although she was not favored, she never failed to inquire about the affairs of the palace.

She knew that the queen was under house arrest, but the matter of the Guanyin statue and the red musk beads had been discovered.

Could it be that Concubine Hua took advantage of the Queen's house arrest to get to know her thoroughly?

An Lingrong thought nervously that killing an insignificant concubine was a piece of cake for a devil like Concubine Hua.

"It's hard for you to stay in this dead palace and do these things."

Nian Shilan's voice was frighteningly cold. An Lingrong's shoulders trembled slightly as she spoke, and it seemed that she was quite frightened.

An Lingrong said in a low voice, not daring to look up, "I have nothing to do, so I just do these to pass the time, and it can also earn some money."

Nian Shilan looked at her. She still maintained the same posture of saluting as before.

"I know you are proficient in spices, right?"

An Lingrong then raised her eyes slightly and blinked, "Your Majesty, what you said is..."

"You are proficient in spices, so you actually discovered a long time ago that musk was hidden in the Huanyi incense in my palace. It was you who deliberately used the scented powder to train Songzi, causing Songzi to pounce on Noble Lady Fucha, right?"

Nian Shilan went straight to the point and didn't beat around the bush with her.

Hearing these words, An Lingrong turned pale with fright and hurriedly looked up at Concubine Hua.

But I couldn't tell anything from her expression.

"I don't understand what the Imperial Concubine is saying."

Nian Shilan's beautiful eyes were raised, and she sat down in front of her and spoke slowly, "An Lingrong, you should have died a long time ago. I have kept you here until now, don't you understand?"

In the matter of the Scar-Removing Glue, he also framed Zhen Huan for poisoning her.

If Nian Shilan had cared about these two things, An Lingrong would have died hundreds of times already.

But Nian Shilan didn't care. The emperor only demoted An Lingrong and put her under house arrest, but she didn't make a fuss.

This is because An Lingrong is one of the most important chess pieces in her plan to overthrow the Queen.

An Lingrong obviously understood this logic, and she lowered her eyes, her voice still very soft.

She didn't even dare to breathe in front of Concubine Hua.

"Concubine..."

"You don't have to rush to speak. I came here today to make a deal with you."

Nian Shilan narrowed her eyes and looked at her. The threats were enough, and it was time to state the purpose.

An Lingrong looked at her in confusion.

"Of course, this deal only works if you're willing. If you're not willing, I won't bother to touch you. I'll kill your mother and your useless father."

When mentioning her family, An Lingrong's pupils immediately dilated and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Your Highness, I will obey your orders!"

Of course she didn't want to, and couldn't, let anything happen to her mother!

Her performance satisfied Nian Shilan very much.

She chuckled twice, her cold voice carrying a chilling chill.
