"She's waiting outside?"

Seeing Songzhi coming in, Nian Shilan didn't even raise her eyelids. She looked at her freshly painted nails and said softly.

Songzhi nodded, "Yes, Lady Qi seems to be very anxious."

"What's the use of being anxious? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it." Nian Shilan sighed lightly and said nonchalantly.

After saying that, he remembered something and spoke in a funny way.

"She is really smart. She directly asked me for help, which is a good idea."

Songzhi looked up, a little surprised, "Smart?"

"I set up the trap, and she comes to ask me to break it. How can this not be considered a unique kind of cleverness?" Nian Shilan sighed, feeling that fate was really playing a trick on her.

It’s just that she was the one being teased in the past, but as the times change, it’s her turn to tease others.

"But, Your Majesty, when I look at Concubine Qi, I feel that she is frivolous and domineering, and cannot be called smart at all." Songzhi muttered.

Nian Shilan was amused by her and giggled with her handkerchief covering her mouth. "You think she's not smart, but she's a legitimate daughter from a royal family. How can she be really stupid? Do you really think she could have entered the palace without any scheming?"

"She is just young and impatient. She can't stand it any longer. It will be the same if she stays in this palace for a few more years."

In her previous life, as soon as she entered the palace, she knew to rely on the Queen to protect herself. She also knew that the first bird to stick its head out will be shot at, so she could always get a share of the pie around Zhen Huan. Even the blood test that was later criticized was just a wrong gamble.

She couldn't be said to be stupid. Many of her peers, when they really came to that step, might not have done as well as she did.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Concubine Li. If she were still alive, if she reached the same position as Concubine Qi.

Absolutely at a loss.

"In this palace, the most taboo thing is arrogance. Thinking that you can see through a person is the biggest taboo."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she leaned back lazily, supported her head and closed her eyes.

"I am tired of talking. You go down first."

"Yes."

……

Concubine Qi waited for a full hour.

Standing under the scorching sun.

Even Jingtai beside him couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "My lady, the imperial concubine has been taking a nap for so long, let's go back first. Besides, we don't know if the imperial concubine is willing to help us. If we wait for so long and the imperial concubine is unwilling to help, then we will be in vain, right?"

Concubine Qi's body swayed.

Jingtai hurriedly held him, "No, I can't leave. If I leave, no one will be able to save Ama."

Jingtai didn't understand: "But I heard that the Imperial Concubine's brother has resigned and returned home. The Imperial Concubine may not be able to save the Master?"

Something flashed in Concubine Qi's eyes.

Suddenly, a figure walked out from the front. It was Songzhi.

"But has the Imperial Concubine stood up?" Concubine Qi hurried forward and asked.

Songzhi nodded, "My dear, our queen has already stood up, so I am here to invite you over."

"Okay, hurry up."

Walking into the palace, Fu Dong was asked to bring a cup of tea, "Please wait a moment, your Excellency. Our Queen will be here soon."

Concubine Qi didn't have time to say anything, she just took it and gulped it down.

Fudong also quietly brought Jingtai a glass of water.

Jingtai lowered his head and thanked him quietly.

After a while, Nian Shilan came over slowly.

When Concubine Qi saw her coming, she knelt on the ground and cried, "My Lady Concubine, I was so foolish in the past that I offended you. I dare not ask for your forgiveness. I only ask you to give me a chance and save my father. My father was very capable in the court, but he was framed and thrown into prison. If you can save my father, the Guaerjia clan will be your most solid reinforcement from now on. Please save us, my Lady Concubine."

Nian Shilan sat down leisurely, looking down at Concubine Qi coldly.

She stretched out her slender jade hand, slowly pulled out the silk, and raised her lips and said.

"What's wrong with you, noble lady Qi? You come to my palace and cry for no reason. If others don't know, they will think that I have bullied you."

Concubine Qi raised her face. Her pretty little face was red from the sun. Now she was crying, tears were flashing in her eyes and her black eyelashes were wet. She looked pitiful and cute.

"Your Highness is kind and generous. Ever since I found out that the Queen gave me the Red Musk Pearl, I have only followed your orders. Please save me."

"Save? How can I save you?"

Concubine Qi lowered her eyes, a little at a loss, "My father never asked anyone to kill Zhen Yuandao and his wife, but this matter was traced to my head for no reason. I don't know why the emperor was furious and even put my father in prison, but this is unjust."

Nian Shilan nodded, "Everyone thinks it was your father who did it, who would think it was an injustice?"

"But this matter is indeed unjust, my lady."

"What I mean is that only the person who wronged you knows that you were wronged. If that's the case, think about who would wrong you?"

Nian Shilan's words made Concubine Qi fall into deep thought.

The first person that came to Concubine Qi’s mind was naturally the Queen.

But she looked up at Nian Shilan.

A strange thought suddenly came to my mind.

Could it be the imperial concubine?

Impossible, why would the imperial concubine do this.

Besides, she didn't know that it was the Queen who instructed her father to frame Zhen Yuandao.

She asked nervously, "Is it the Queen?"

"How would I know about your family's affairs? If you think it was the Queen, then you should think carefully about why the Queen did this. And how should you fight back."

Concubine Qi thought hard, but her worry and panic made her confused.

I simply couldn't calm down and think carefully, so I could only ask the imperial concubine again.

"Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."

Nian Shilan shook her head. "You revealed the matter of the Queen's Red Musk Beads, which made the Emperor tired of the Queen. Naturally, the Queen will take action against you. If you want to protect yourself now, dragging others into the water is a good way. At least you can have a glimmer of hope. If you let others manipulate you, I'm afraid you will die."

Concubine Qi felt as if she had been hit by a heavy blow. After thinking it over, the whole cause and effect seemed to be just as Nian Shilan had said.

Nian Shilan didn't plan to stay any longer, so it would be best to send her away while she was confused.

"Well, I am willing to talk to you because you have waited for an hour under the scorching sun. Now I should go to Concubine Jing to see the Sixth Prince. Please leave now."

Concubine Qi wanted to say more, but there was nothing she could do and she could only step back.

"Then I will take my leave."
