Although Nian Shilan felt a little strange, she was not surprised.

After all, the Queen is still young and inexperienced, so it is impossible for her to let go of An Lingrong easily.

An Lingrong is inconspicuous, but delicate and smart. Such a person is the perfect candidate in the hands of the Queen.

"Why?" Nian Shilan asked calmly.

Songzhi said slowly, "I heard from the little girl in front of the emperor that one day when the emperor passed by the Yanxi Palace, he heard An Yingying's singing. He was so fascinated that he went in to see An Yingying and saw the scar on An Yingying's hand."

"What scar?" Nian Shilan asked again.

"It is said that the scar was caused by Wanpin cutting her wrist to draw blood for medicine. At that time, the emperor even praised An Ying and Wanpin for their deep sisterly love."

Although Nian Shilan didn't know the reason, she could probably guess it.

An Lingrong's singing voice is somewhat like Chun Yuan's. It seems that she was trained by the Queen to be similar to Queen Chun Yuan, which is why she attracted the Emperor.

As for the pretentious scar, if she really wanted to do it, why would she listen to folk rumors and resort to such a clumsy method?

Nian Shilan is not someone who is easily moved, so when she sees these methods, she just finds them ridiculous.

"Whether she is favored or out of favor, it is her own destiny. Perhaps this will make Zhen Huan see her clearly." Nian Shilan pinched the pickle in her hand and put it into her mouth to taste it carefully.

She swallowed slowly and continued to ask, "How did Concubine Cao deal with the matter?"

"Zhou Ninghai is efficient. He has already arranged the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau, as well as matters outside the palace. But Your Majesty..." Song Zhi's face showed a hint of worry.

"explain."

"Do we really not want those people's money? Concubine Cao's mother's family has gained so much benefits for nothing. We are actually making wedding clothes for others."

After all, Songzhi is just a palace maid and doesn't understand the pros and cons of the matter.

Nian Shilan sneered, her eyes became sharper, staring at the darkness outside the window, "Wedding dress? It's a burial dress."

Songzhi didn't understand and kept silent.

The days of spring are gradually passing, and the hot days are approaching.

Today, Nian Shilan was going to Shoukang Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, and on the way she ran into Qin Changzai, who looked flustered.

He almost bumped into her.

If Songzhi hadn't blocked it quickly, Qin Changzai would probably have fallen on Nian Shilan.

After Qin Changzai realized what was happening, she immediately became extremely terrified and knelt on the ground, "Please forgive me, Empress Hua. Please forgive me, Empress Hua. I didn't mean to do that."

Nian Shilan frowned and looked gloomily at the person kneeling on the ground.

After seeing clearly that it was Qin Nuo, she said sternly, "Hasn't the Queen always praised Concubine Qin for being well-behaved and polite? Why are you so abrupt in front of me today?"

Qin Nuo lowered his head, his thin shoulders trembling and he dared not speak.

She continued to mock, "Doesn't it mean that Qin Changzai thinks that the queen is the master of the harem and there is no need to respect me?"

"I dare not. The Queen and Concubine Hua are people whom I must not offend. Today, I was hesitant and accidentally bumped into Concubine Hua. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After Qin Nuo finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and did not dare to stand up.

Nian Shilan sneered, "I am not as easy to talk to as the queen. Since you are hesitant, I will punish you to copy scriptures to calm your mind."

"Yes, I will go to Baohua Palace to copy the scriptures right away." Qin Nuo said in panic, making tiny sounds.

He seemed very scared.

"No, you don't have to go to Baohua Palace. You can kneel down and copy in Yikun Palace of this palace."

"I obey your command."

Nian Shilan smiled contemptuously and waved his hand to have someone bring the carriage.

Qin Changzai followed Nian Shilan back to Yiku Palace.

On the way, many people saw Concubine Qin crying with tears in her eyes, while Concubine Hua was sitting on the sedan chair, looking proud and majestic.

Everyone was talking about how unlucky Qin Changzai was. She was probably going to be punished by Concubine Hua for finding out about her mistakes.

Back in the palace, Nian Shilan leaned back on the couch. The summer was getting hotter.

But Nian Shilan asked everyone to leave, leaving only Songzhi to fan the room.

Looking at Qin Nuo who was kneeling on the ground copying scriptures, she said slowly.

"Okay, I have dismissed everyone. If you have anything to say, please speak up."

Songzhi was puzzled and looked at Qin Nuo suspiciously.

I was thinking in my mind, I was the one who accompanied the Empress in everything she did, and I didn't seem to see what Qin Chang was saying to the Empress alone just now?

How is this going.

From the moment Nian Shilan saw that it was Qin Nuo, she knew that today's matter would not be so simple.

First of all, Qin Nuo was of a low rank and was not qualified to pay respects to the Queen Mother, so how could he appear near Shoukang Palace?

Moreover, the previous emperor had been putting increasing pressure on Prince Dun, and Prince Dun was already very dissatisfied, so Qin Nuo was anxious to see her and could only think of this method.

"Your Majesty is smarter than ordinary people. Today, I can only think of this stupid way to see you. Please forgive me." Qin Nuo bowed again.

"Tell me what's going on."

Qin Nuo slowly raised her head, but her beautiful and graceful face became extremely sinister.

"My queen, Prince Dun wants to rebel."

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes and paused her stroking fingers for a moment. She had no idea that Prince Dun had already had the idea of ​​rebelling so early.

But Songzhi was so shocked that she stopped fanning herself.

Nian Shilan raised her chin slightly and said, "What do you want to ask me?"

"I wonder how General Nian can help the prince? In the past few months, the prince has followed the instructions of the queen and has not had any contact with the prince. Everyone thinks that the prince and the general have broken up."

Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows, "Yes, since I know the prince's intention, the general will also know it. The prince just needs to do it. The general is far away in the northwest and returning to the capital rashly will only attract attention. In the capital, Longkodo is the prince's best choice. The prince should also spend more time with this old minister."

Qin Nuo knelt on the ground after hearing this, "Thank you for your advice, Madam. I would like to thank you on behalf of the prince."

"You are very loyal." Nian Shilan looked at her strong back, "But I have something to explain to you."

Qin Nuo raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am all ears to your teachings."

Nian Shilan stood up and Songzhi hurried to help her. She walked to Qin Nuo's side, then squatted down and waved her hand to signal Songzhi that she didn't need to help her.

Her slender white hand stroked Qin Nuo's smooth white forehead.

"I want to tell you that no matter what time it is, you must not do anything strange to the Emperor."

Qin Nuo's long black eyelashes trembled, and she turned her eyes to look at the stunningly beautiful lady in front of her.

She is so beautiful.

Her brows were clear, and her charming eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, captivating everyone.

How could I compare to her? No wonder the emperor always favors her more.

As for what Concubine Hua meant, she was naturally clear about it.

"I understand. I will know my place clearly." Qin Nuo said word by word.

Nian Shilan curled her lips, "It's best if you understand. I told you this to save your life. Whether this succeeds or not, your life is not up to you. Try to avoid making mistakes, otherwise no one can save you!"
