"I am heartbroken to hear that Concubine Wan had a miscarriage, but you are not entirely to blame for this, so don't blame yourself too much."

The Queen Mother said slowly that she was very surprised but also very satisfied with Nian Shilan's action.

After all, Concubine Hua was spoiled in the past. It was not easy for a child from a noble family to be willing to kneel so humbly for Concubine Wan's child.

What's more, there is the Huan Yi Xiang and Shu Zhen Glue.

"Things have come to this. I can only pray every day for peace of mind. As for other things, I dare not even dream about them." Nian Shilan lowered her head, a hint of sadness flashing across her beautiful eyes.

The Queen Mother took her hand, placed it in her palm, and patted it. "It's not entirely up to you at this time. The Queen failed to supervise the harem well, so these incidents occurred. I have asked the Queen to dismiss a group of palace maids and eunuchs with ill intentions. You must not let the incident of Shuhen Glue happen again."

"The Queen will definitely do her best to handle it properly. It's just that Concubine Wan has been wronged." Nian Shilan nodded.

The Queen Mother sighed, "The Emperor is also unhappy that Wanpin has been wronged. He cannot live without someone to serve him properly. Although Concubine Cao often accompanies him, she does not understand the Emperor's feelings after all. In fact, I still prefer you. If you can take the initiative to break through, the Emperor may feel better."

Nian Shilan was a little surprised that the Queen Mother would say that, but she thought it made sense.

After getting rid of An Lingrong, the Queen no longer had a useful chess piece in her hand.

The Empress Dowager was worried, so she had no choice but to let her get close to the Emperor again.

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes, "I am afraid that I am too stupid to please the emperor. I came here today to ask the queen mother something."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"In recent years, Concubine Duan has not been in good health. It is not appropriate to have no capable people to take care of her. The people sent by this concubine are clumsy and incompetent. I would like to ask Aunt Zhuxi, who is by the Queen Mother's side, to help select one or two and send them to Concubine Duan's palace. If Concubine Duan recovers, she can also accompany the emperor to talk and relieve his worries for a while."

Nian Shilan's words were reasonable and logical, and the empress dowager would not object, so she ordered Zhu Xi to have it done.

Concubine Duan has always been cautious. She doesn't dare to use the people she sends. She is afraid that she will not trust the Queen's people. Only the Empress Dowager's people can she trust more.

After arranging everything, Nian Shilan chatted with the Queen Mother for a while and then prepared to leave.

After leaving Shoukang Palace, he happened to meet Shen Meizhuang who came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

"Long live the Empress Hua." Shen Meizhuang bowed slightly and saluted her.

But there was a hint of arrogance and disdain in that arrogant beauty.

Her face was extremely beautiful, not the kind of glamorous and competitive beauty, but rather, like a white flower fluttering in the biting cold wind, elegant and pure.

She and Zhen Huan are sisters, so naturally they have nothing to say about the evil man Nian Shilan.

It's just a head-on collision, so you must say hello.

"No need to be so polite, Ms. Hui."

"I still have to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, so I'll take my leave now."

Shen Meizhuang didn't want to say more to her, and Nian Shilan didn't care either, and left with Songzhi.

But when I was almost at Yiku Palace, I suddenly saw a group of people standing in front of me.

From a distance, it seemed to be Concubine Qi and Noble Lady Fucha.

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, there was more sharpness and fierceness in them.

"Songzhi, go and take a look."

"Yes."

"Cuiguo, smash her mouth."

Nian Shilan leaned lazily on the sedan chair, and heard from afar the sharp and angry voice of Concubine Qi coming from the long street ahead.

Zhen Huan was seen kneeling in the middle of the room in plain clothes and light makeup, her face pale and miserable, her face full of worry.

Concubine Qi and Noble Lady Fucha stood on both sides with domineering looks, and the expression on Concubine Qi's face looked as if she wanted to skin Zhen Huan alive.

"Songzhi, come over here." Nian Shilan frowned and looked up and down at Concubine Qi with sharp and incisive eyes.

"Yes."

As the sedan chair got closer, Noble Lady Fucha could be heard speaking in an extremely arrogant and ferocious voice.

"It is only natural for Concubine Qi to punish a mere concubine."

Nian Shilan chuckled and said slowly, "Then isn't it only natural for me to punish a mere noble like you?"

Although the words were gentle and charming, they contained untold danger.

Noble Lady Fucha turned around in a hurry, her originally domineering face full of horror, and said quickly, "Her Majesty Hua...Her Majesty Hua, may you live long and well."

The sedan chair had stopped, and Songzhi helped her walk down step by step.

Nian Shilan curled her lips, looked deeply at Noble Lady Fucha, and then her gaze fell on Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi was originally a paper tiger, and she only became angry and dealt with Zhen Huan at the instigation of Noble Lady Fucha. Now that she has been discovered, she is like a deflated ball and is at a loss as to what to do.

"Concubine Qi is in a good mood. Why are you acting so arrogantly here instead of resting in the palace on such nice days?"

Concubine Qi's throat rolled over, and she said in a murmur, "The weather is good, but I was in a bad mood after being bumped into by someone. How did my disciplining of the concubines hinder Concubine Hua?"

In Concubine Qi's opinion, Concubine Wan caused Concubine Hua to be hated by the Emperor and was punished to kneel every day. He must hate her very much!

If she came at this time, Wanpin's fate would only be more miserable.

Besides, Concubine Hua was demoted and no longer favored by the Emperor, so she doesn't have to be too polite when speaking now.

"The long street is next to my Yikun Palace. If you cause trouble in Yikun Palace, you will be making things difficult for me. Concubine Qi, please think it over carefully." Nian Shilan chuckled. She didn't even look at Concubine Qi, but her eyes were on Zhen Huan who was kneeling on the ground.

Her pretty face was already red and swollen, with traces of blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

She raised her eyes and looked away.

“But this place is still a street away from the Empress’ Yiku Palace. Besides, Concubine Wan slandered Your Majesty, so she should be punished!” Noble Lady Fucha, who was standing by, saw that Concubine Qi was moved and immediately explained.

Nian Shilan glanced at her and said, "Noble Lady Fucha said that you slandered Your Majesty. Where did this come from?"

"This... Wanpin slandered Concubine Qi for wanting to harm the fetus in her belly, but Concubine Qi did not do it, so Wanpin was punished." Noble Lady Fucha said ambiguously, her voice getting smaller and smaller.

Nian Shilan said softly, "Now that you mention it, I remember that Concubine Qi once gave Concubine Wan a bowl of cakes mixed with oleander flower powder. Could it be that this is what she was talking about?"

The gentler she was, the more her words made Concubine Qi and Noble Lady Fucha feel cold on their backs.

"You...how do you know!" Concubine Qi widened her eyes, her clear eyes full of disbelief.

How could Concubine Hua know about this? The Queen clearly suppressed it!

"Does Concubine Qi really think that this matter is foolproof?" Nian Shilan turned around and raised her hand to signal Song Zhi to help Zhen Huan up.

Zhen Huan was kneeling on the ground, her pale face revealing a tragic beauty. She looked at her with her watery eyes, seeming to be thinking about something as her eyes moved.

Nian Shilan looked away and looked at Noble Lady Fucha, "Noble Lady Fucha just said that Wanpin should be punished for slandering His Majesty. She is right. Those who do not respect their superiors should indeed be punished."

"Yes, ma'am."
