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

Fu Dong curled his lips, "If you don't tell me, no one will know."

The noise in the room was getting louder and louder. Xichun didn't dare to stay any longer. He left after saying "I'm leaving first. You do your job well."

Fu Dong sat in the corner bored, propped up his head, and listened attentively to the movements in the house.

The scene of secretly glancing at the emperor's profile today unconsciously emerged in my mind.

……

After the emperor left, Nian Shilan suppressed the nausea in her heart.

I really don't understand why the emperor suddenly made such a decision.

She called Songzhi and asked if there was any movement outside the palace.

Songzhi looked confused, "Everything is fine outside the palace, Madam, and the Nian Mansion is peaceful and nothing has happened."

Nian Shilan frowned slightly. Something was wrong.

So he asked again, "Did any official impeach my brother in the previous dynasty, or did anyone speak up for the Queen?"

Songzhi: I’m not sure about that.

So Nian Shilan raised her chin and motioned her to go and find Zhou Ninghai.

Not long after, Zhou Ninghai limped in.

He had heard Songzhi talk about it before he came, and he knew what Nian Shilan wanted to ask.

So he said, "Your Majesty, I have inquired and found that there has been no unusual movement in the previous dynasty. The emperor has been worried about the issue of the land tax these days, and I have not heard of any official in the court expressing dissatisfaction with General Nian."

This made Nian Shilan's face look even worse.

Although the Mid-Autumn family dinner is not a big deal.

But there must be a reason why the emperor suddenly did this.

But her staff couldn't find the reason.

Could it be that the Queen and the Emperor said something that day?

That’s all.

Nian Shilan felt upset, but she could only comfort herself.

Now that things have come to this, we can only deal with them as they arise.

"What about Concubine Qi? Is she being watched?" Nian Shilan asked, supporting her head.

Zhou Ninghai raised his head and said, "I was just about to tell you about this matter. Concubine Qi asked someone for it yesterday - Bloodthirsty Throat."

Nian Shilan frowned and leaned forward. "Bleeding Throat? What is it?"

"My Lady, the strychnos nux vomica is also known as the poison arrow tree. It is a highly poisonous plant. If the juice meets blood, it will cause a person to die suddenly. This plant must not be mixed into food."

Zhou Ninghai explained in detail.

"Poison?" Nian Shilan murmured, "She wants this..."

Is he trying to harm the queen with poison?

Nian Shilan gritted her teeth and suddenly said sharply, "Go check right now where Concubine Qi is and what she has done. I want to know right away!"

Zhou Ninghai didn't expect that she took this matter so seriously, and said hurriedly, "Stop, I'll do it right away."

Concubine Qi was so bold that she actually asked someone outside the palace to pass the poison in.

It is also a highly poisonous substance.

If she really wanted to poison the queen, there was no way she would succeed.

Yixiu has always been cautious.

Food and drink must be tested three times with silver needles before being consumed. Even burning incense is prohibited in the palace in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from tampering with the food.

If Concubine Qi really did this, she would definitely be discovered.

If she repeated what she said to her that day and added some exaggerations.

The Queen must have thought that she had just talked to Concubine Qi a few days ago, and then Concubine Qi poisoned her.

If she exaggerated the story and it reached Yinzhen's ears, she might become an accomplice in stirring up trouble among the concubines and murdering the master of the harem.

Although Zhou Ninghai's legs and feet are not very flexible, he is very efficient in his work.

Soon, news about Concubine Qi was found.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi personally prepared soup for the Queen half an hour ago, and she is now rushing to Jingren Palace."

Zhou Ninghai spoke hurriedly, and seeing that Nian Shilan was so worried, he spoke very quickly.

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan immediately stood up and moved extremely quickly, "Prepare the sedan chair, and make sure to catch up with Concubine Qi."

Zhou Ninghai lowered his head and hurried to do it.

Nian Shilan asked the servants who were carrying the sedan chair to move faster.

Fortunately, she finally caught up. On the long street outside Jingren Palace, she met Concubine Qi who was on her way to deliver soup and snacks to the Queen.

Nian Shilan stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Qi who was about to enter the palace gate.

Concubine Qi was startled and felt guilty as if she had done something wrong and was discovered. She covered her chest with her hands and when she saw that it was Concubine Hua, she held her breath.

"Hua Fei, what do you mean?"

Nian Shilan narrowed her eyes, "What are you going to do?"

Concubine Qi coughed and looked away, "Of course I have to go and deliver something to the Queen."

"Really? There's no poison or anything like that in the thing you gave her, right?" Nian Shilan said in a low voice without playing tricks on her.

Seeing that she had exposed her secret, Concubine Qi quickly looked aside, luckily there was no one around.

Then he pulled Nian Shilan aside.

"Keep your voice down. Are you not afraid of death by talking like this?" Concubine Qi was very nervous.

She was nervous and afraid to do this, and she was always worried.

Nian Shilan sneered, "You're still afraid. If you go in like this, aren't you courting death?"

Concubine Qi was surprised and didn't understand what she said, "You...what do you mean."

"You think you can take this bowl of poison in, and if the Queen drinks it, you can take back the Third Prince? If the Emperor asks you to take responsibility, you can just find a palace maid to take the blame. After all, you are the Third Prince's biological mother, so the Emperor won't punish you too much."

She directly told all of Concubine Qi's arrangements.

The more he spoke, the more embarrassed Concubine Qi's face became.

"How did you guess it?" Concubine Qi tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand, bit her lip and asked again, "But do you think it will work now?"

Nian Shilan said coldly, "If you want the Third Prince to cry while holding your corpse, then go ahead and do it!"

"Ah? This...how could this be possible!" Concubine Qi didn't believe it.

She thought this plan was a foolproof one, and even took it for granted that if something happened to the queen, she had the Third Prince, who might be able to...

But he didn't expect that he would be criticized by Nian Shilan for everything.

"If something happens to the Queen, how can the Queen Mother forgive you? Besides, this bowl of soup cannot even enter the Queen's mouth. If I find out that it is poisonous, you will be confined to your house at the very least, or even punished. Killing the Queen is a serious crime, and I'm afraid that even the Third Prince may be implicated by you!"

As she spoke in detail, Concubine Qi's face instantly turned pale.

She only just thought of this, but she was also relieved at the same time.

"You are right, but fortunately, I have not given it to the Queen yet, fortunately..."

Nian Shilan was almost irritated by her stupidity.

After she finished talking to her that day, she asked Zhou Ninghai to arrange people to monitor her, but she didn't expect that she would act so quickly.

She was careless for a moment and failed to keep an eye on it.

but……

This gave Nian Shilan a new idea.

Didn’t the Emperor ask the Queen to host the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner?

If something happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen's favor with the Emperor would be gone in an instant.

And with what happened today, it would be easier for her to control Concubine Qi.

This matter is more threatening than the oleander matter.

"Luckily I arrived today. If you really went in, the consequences would be disastrous. I would have someone pour out the soup!"
