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

"Taifu, please get up quickly. I have arranged for someone to escort you out of the palace. Lord Yan, please get up quickly too..."

Not far away, Nian Shilan was standing in the corridor of the side hall, and Songzhi was carefully holding an umbrella for her.

"Your Highness, why bother coming here in person? I can just send someone to come."

Master Yan had already left, and there was only a pool of bright red blood left where he had just knelt, but the blood was soon washed away.

Nian Shilan was watching in fascination, and suddenly she spoke.

"Songzhi, look, there is nothing left again."

Songzhi didn't quite understand. She just looked at the darkness of the rainy night and the palace walls, which actually had a somewhat eerie feeling.

The rain splashed on her shoulders and Songzhi shook them unconsciously.

a little cold.

"What is the queen talking about? Why don't we go back quickly?"

Nian Shilan didn't move, just stared at that place in a daze.

She was not looking at Master Yan, nor the Emperor.

She was thinking, if in the previous life, if her brother was still alive...

Would he also rush into the palace like this, fully clothed in armor, and kneel in the palace just to pray that his sister would not die?

From a certain perspective, she and Yan Ruofan are both equally pitiful people.

Fortunately, this time, she was able to save her brother.

Also saved myself.

Songzhi stood beside her, looking at the queen in a trance, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't know what Nian Shilan was thinking at the moment.

She said, "Noble Lady Yan should never, ever go against the Empress at this very moment. This is her own fault."

"It's her fault, of course."

Nian Shilan has only learned one thing over the years.

If I don't kill my enemies, one day they will disrupt my plans.

The biggest negative example of this matter is Zhen Huan and An Lingrong.

When Zhen Huan returned to the palace, she did not kill An Lingrong directly despite her repeated attempts to frame her.

This gave An Lingrong the final chance to kill Shen Meizhuang.

She thought it was ridiculous at the time. If she had come, An Lingrong would have died early.

So she was ruthless. She had to control Zhen Huan, Concubine Duan, and Concubine Jing completely in her hands.

If one day they had rebellious thoughts, Nian Shilan would never let them stay.

Finally, Nian Shilan closed her eyes.

He turned around and left, and Songzhi immediately followed with an umbrella.

Thinking of An Lingrong, it was all thanks to An Lingrong that we were able to find out so many things about the Queen this time.

All because she had been with the Queen and had observed carefully.

Otherwise, many things would not be so easy to investigate.

Just... today.

"How is the matter of Yanxi Palace going?"

Nian Shilan raised her lips.

Songzhi nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. An agreed to leave with peace of mind. After all, Your Majesty promised her that as long as this matter is accomplished, she will treat An Bihuai and her mother Lin with favor. This is obviously An agreed to her last wish."

Nian Shilan nodded, "Well done."

The two left.

In the Shangshu room.

Su Peisheng walked in with his head lowered. He was soaked all over, but he had no time to care because he was doing something that could cost him his life.

"Your Majesty, Master Yan and Master Yan have already left."

Yinzhen didn't even raise his eyelids. "Dead?"

Su Peisheng raised his eyes and looked at him cautiously, "Yes, someone from the cold palace said that it was Zhou Ninghai who was beside the imperial concubine who did it himself."

After that, he heard a sneer.

"She is the same as before."

Su Peisheng also agreed, "After today's absurd incident, the imperial concubine must be angry."

Yinzhen looked at him, "Really? Then what do you think about today's incident... What is the relationship between the imperial concubine and the fourth prince?"

Su Peisheng only felt sweat on his back and his teeth chattering, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

I could only bite the bullet and say, "I am stupid. I thought the relationship between the Imperial Concubine and the Fourth Prince was just like the love between mother and son."

Yinzhen didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly, and then said something.

"Are you stupid? There is no one smarter than you in this palace."

Then he casually threw the memorial in his hand onto the table and said, "It's good to solve the problem of the Yan family. Imperial Concubine, killing Imperial Concubine Yan will save me a lot of trouble."

Su Peisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The imperial concubine is naturally thinking about the emperor."

The Yan family is an old minister following Yinzhen. This old minister used to hide well under the limelight of Nian Gengyao, but he has become more and more excessive in recent years.

In fact, when it comes down to it, when Nian Shilan allowed four new people into the palace, how could he not know what Nian Shilan was thinking.

It’s just because Yan Ruofan, the daughter of the Yan family, is on the list.

Yinzhen has been thinking about how to quietly pressure the Yan family and make them behave.

This is a good opportunity.

Su Peisheng immediately flattered, "Unconsciously, the emperor used the imperial concubine to solve this major problem. The emperor is wise, and I really admire him."

Yinzhen sneered, "Okay, go down and call the people from the Blood Dropper over."

"Yes."

Su Peisheng left the study room, and only when he finished making arrangements and sat in the corridor did he feel like he had survived a disaster.

Xiao Xiazi immediately came forward with hot tea.

"Master, you've been caught in the rain. Drink some hot tea to get rid of the cold in your body."

Su Peisheng glanced at him, took the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey, what on earth happened that made Master so nervous?"

Su Peisheng just sighed and leaned against the wall. Instead of answering him, he asked back.

"Right now, you are working with the Imperial Concubine?"

Seeing him say this, Xiao Xiazi was also smart and immediately waved his hand, "Master, what are you talking about? I am a disciple in front of the emperor, so I naturally work for the emperor."

"Stupid." Su Peisheng snorted, "If you don't explain it to Master now, you will have no chance."

Xiao Xiazi then lowered his head and only heard a very small murmur.

"My disciple, I just accepted some benefits from the Yikun Palace and told the Imperial Concubine the whereabouts of the Emperor from time to time..."

"Right now, I'm afraid it's the last moment. If these things of yours are exposed, you will be sentenced to death. But if..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiazi's face was filled with fear and he didn't know what to do.

"Master, what should I do? I was wrong. I don't want to die."

He had just bought a house outside the palace with the money from the Yikun Palace. His family was happy and their lives were about to get better. It would be a pity for him to die at this time.

Su Peisheng didn't say anything, but looked at the light of the Shangshu room not far away.

He saw Yinzhen's shadow through the window.

"Master?"

"Master..."

Su Peisheng came back to his senses, "Maybe, not necessarily..."

After this drizzling thunderstorm, everyone thought that there would be continuous thunderstorms for days.

But surprisingly, the weather cleared up and the day became very pleasant.

It even makes people think that the rain that night was just an illusion.

The Fourth Prince’s marriage is coming soon.

Nian Shilan has always been decisive in his work.

On the wedding day, the Forbidden City was decorated with lights and full of joy.

As the morning light broke, the Yiku Palace was already busy. Nian Shilan, wearing an expensive dress, sat in front of the mirror, while Fudong carefully dressed her.

"Your Majesty looks so beautiful today." Fu Dong saw that Nian Shilan didn't seem happy, so he spoke.

Nian Shilan didn't say anything. Seeing this, Songzhi quickly took over.

"Our queen is naturally as beautiful as a fairy. She looks good no matter what."

But Nian Shilan looked in the mirror and saw a strand of silver hair entangled in her black hair at the corner of her eye.

She picked up the silver hair, then moved her eyes, and then pulled out the silver hair without any hesitation.

"Time makes people grow old, Songzhi, I am old."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. You are young and beautiful. If you go out, people will think you are someone's young lady."

Nian Shilan moved her lips, "Really? It's not that I'm old, it's just that I think too much and calculate too much..."

Ever since that rainy night, the Empress had been in a bad mood. After being busy with the Fourth Prince's wedding these days, she felt a little better.

Now I'm afraid it will go back to the way it was before.

Songzhi quickly spoke up, "Your Majesty, today is the great day of the Fourth Prince's wedding, Your Majesty should be happy."

"Yes, today is my son's wedding. How can I not be happy?"

She has been feeling uneasy lately, and the closer it gets to the end, the more she fears accidents might happen.

There is always a feeling of uneasiness somewhere in my heart.

She only hoped that the Fourth Prince could have a successful wedding and that everything she wanted to do could go on smoothly.

Look in the mirror.

Her eyes showed both the relief of being a mother and a hint of complex emotions that were hard to detect.

Soon, she finished dressing and the Fourth Prince came to pay his respects to her first.

The Fourth Prince was wearing a red wedding suit, looking very heroic, but there was a hint of imperceptible melancholy between his brows.

He slowly walked into the Yikun Palace and saluted to Nian Shilan, his eyes revealing deep attachment and reluctance.

"Your son, I pay my respects to my mother."

Nian Shilan nodded, "Come forward."

The Fourth Prince stepped forward and looked at her deeply.

"Today is your wedding day, but from today onwards, you are not only a prince, but also a husband. You must shoulder the responsibility of being the head of the family. Remember, no matter when and where you are, you must remember your identity and mission." Nian Shilan's voice trembled slightly, but she tried her best to maintain the demeanor of a royal concubine.

The Fourth Prince lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I understand, but..."

Nian Shilan gently interrupted him: "Just what? You should know that I have trained you to this point today, and you know what I want."

She wants the Fourth Prince to successfully sit on the throne. She wants the Fourth Prince to have supreme power to help the Nian family return to its peak.

If he is still not awake, then Nian Shilan is not without choice.

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince felt a pang of sadness in his heart, but he could only nod silently.

He knew that this secret emotion could only be buried deep in his heart and could never be expressed in words.

The wedding ceremony was held in front of the most magnificent palace in the Forbidden City. Emperor Yinzhen and Nian Shilan sat side by side and accepted congratulations from all officials.

The sound of ceremonial music was heard as the Fourth Prince and his bride slowly walked into the hall. Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan and saw that her face was full of smiles, full of relief and satisfaction, nothing else could be seen.

"Your Majesty, I toast to you." Nian Shilan raised her glass towards Yinzhen.

Yinzhen smiled, nodded, raised his glass, and the two of them saluted from a distance.

Just as he covered his face and drank, Nian Shilan's expression changed instantly, the smile disappeared, and after it faded away, only a calculating look remained.

After the ceremony, according to the rules, the newlyweds had to pay their respects to the emperor and the empress.

When the Fourth Prince and his bride knelt in front of Nian Shilan, his eyes were slightly red and he said with a trembling voice: "I thank you for your kindness in raising me. I will work hard to manage the family and live up to your expectations."

Nian Shilan nodded, reached out and gently helped the Fourth Prince up, and said softly.

"The Fourth Prince is getting married today, which is a great joy. I hope you and your wife will treat each other with respect and grow old together. Although my mother is very reluctant to let you go, she is also pleased with you. Fu Cha is a decent person. When I saw her today, I found her to be very beautiful. She is a pitiful person. You must take good care of her and treat Fu Cha as an equal, so that you can live in harmony with each other."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince felt mixed emotions and turned to glance at Fu Cha Rongyin.

Fu Cha blushed due to shyness and did not notice the strange look in her husband's eyes.

"Yes, I will take good care of you. I also hope that Father Huang and Mother will be in good health."

He looked at Nian Shilan deeply, his eyes showing both gratitude and an emotion that was hard to let go.

The noise of the wedding gradually faded away and the Forbidden City returned to tranquility.

Only the palace lanterns remain, illuminating the palace in the night, adding a touch of solemnity and mystery.

Yinzhen and Nian Shilan walked side by side in the corridor. The moonlight shone through the clouds, casting patches of light on them, casting a soft glow on this couple at the pinnacle of power.

"You handled today's matter very well." Yinzhen spoke first, his voice low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

Nian Shilan smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes, but she responded modestly: "I am just doing my duty. It is my honor that the Fourth Prince's marriage is satisfactory to His Majesty."

Yinzhen stopped and turned to look at Nian Shilan with a deep gaze: "You handled the Yan family's affairs neatly and efficiently. I understand your thoughts."

Nian Shilan's heart tightened, but she still maintained a gentle smile on her face: "Everything I did was for the emperor and for the Qing Dynasty. Although the Yan family is an old minister, their behavior has become more and more arrogant in recent years. If they are not severely punished, it may be difficult to convince the public."

Yinzhen nodded, and seemed quite satisfied with Nian Shilan's explanation: "You act decisively, and I am very relieved. However, the sword of power can stabilize the country if used well, but it will hurt yourself if used poorly."

Nian Shilan was startled when she heard this, and quickly bowed her head and agreed: "I will keep this in mind and will act prudently to live up to the emperor's high expectations."

"Your Majesty, I have something else to say."

Yinzhen stopped and looked at her.

"Oh? What are you going to say?"

"Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and the Empress is the master of the harem. Now is the Fourth Prince's wedding, so it is appropriate for me to go out with the Emperor. However, in the future, if the Empress does not bring the Empress with her, but lets the concubine accompany her, I am afraid that the old officials in the court will have a lot of complaints against the Emperor. Therefore, I am afraid that I will become a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country."

Nian Shilan's heart moved, and she looked up at Yinzhen, waiting for his words.
