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

Nian Shilan said word by word.

"In fact, a few days ago, I already knew that Concubine Qi was going to come outside the palace to kill someone, and then I heard that she was going to bring soup to the Queen. I felt something was wrong, so I went to stop Concubine Qi..."

Halfway through her words, Concubine Qi went to pull Nian Shilan like crazy.

Fortunately, Songzhi reacted quickly and pushed Xichun away, standing in front of Concubine Qi.

Don't let her meet her own queen.

Yinzhen gritted his teeth and ordered his men to arrest Concubine Qi, "Keep talking!"

Nian Shilan continued calmly, "As expected, I discovered that the ginseng soup she gave to the queen actually contained 'Strychnos nux vomica'! I was terrified and asked Concubine Qi why she did this. She said that the Third Prince was restless in the Queen's palace and missed his mother, and she hated the Queen for taking the Third Prince away to raise him, so she did this foolish thing."

Hearing this, the Queen turned pale, covered her chest with her hands, and looked at Concubine Qi in disbelief.

Nian Shilan ignored her and continued, "I tried my best to persuade Concubine Qi, but she cried and said she would never do it again, and begged me to give her another chance, so I took away the poisoned soup and let Concubine Qi leave."

"Hua Fei, why didn't you report it? How dare you conceal this matter? Do you know that attempting to poison the Empress is a capital crime?"

The queen slammed the table and pointed at her angrily.

It seemed that she hated Concubine Hua even more than she hated Concubine Qi.

However, Nian Shilan ignored her questioning and just calmly explained to Yinzhen.

"I didn't report it because I felt that since this matter has not happened yet, and Concubine Qi is the biological mother of the Third Prince, and the Third Prince is the Emperor's eldest son. If the scandal is exposed, it will cause an uproar, which will be detrimental to the Emperor and the Third Prince!"

"Although I am not a mother, I understand the worries of Concubine Qi as a mother. I didn't expect that I would make a mistake. I thought Concubine Qi would wake up and not make the same mistake again, but I didn't expect that I would make such a big mistake today. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

After saying this, Nian Shilan lowered her head, and the light in her eyes dimmed a lot.

Finished speaking.

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at Nian Shilan carefully, then looked at the Queen, wondering what she was thinking.

Yinzhen finally let go, "You are also wrong, but you are no more wrong than this vicious woman. You dared to poison the Empress, and now you are harming my heir. I see that you no longer have me in your eyes. Do you still want to poison me so that your precious son can ascend to my throne?"

His voice became louder and louder, like a sharp knife stabbing at Concubine Qi.

The third prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for forgiveness.

At this moment, the imperial physician rushed over and knelt before him, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has woken up and the poison has been resolved!"

Hearing this, Nian Shilan's tightly locked shoulders finally relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Yinzhen and the Queen Mother finally felt relieved.

The Queen Mother immediately asked Zhuxi to support her to visit the Fourth Prince.

Yinzhen pointed at Concubine Qi and said, "Concubine Qi is demoted to a concubine and confined to Changchun Palace. After Su Peisheng finds out what Concubine Hua said, report back to me immediately!"

After saying that, he walked straight past the crowd and went to visit the Fourth Prince.

Now that things have come to this, the drama has finally come to an end.

Concubine Qi was taken away by Su Peisheng's men. The Third Prince cried so hard that he lost his voice. He tightly grasped Concubine Qi's sleeves and was unwilling to let go, but he was still ruthlessly thrown away.

Nian Shilan was helped to stand up by Songzhi and Xichun.

"Empress? Do you want to go see the Fourth Prince?" Song Zhi asked in a low voice.

Nian Shilan didn't answer, just nodded.

When she arrived, the Emperor, Empress and Queen Mother were all in the house visiting her.

She waved her hand, her tone as calm as water, "Xichun, go in and see the Fourth Prince, and come out and tell me."

"Your Highness, you are not going in?" Xichun frowned, somewhat puzzled. "The Fourth Prince just managed to save his life from the underworld. If the Emperor saw you go in, he would definitely think that you are worried about the Fourth Prince."

But Nian Shilan didn't say anything else.

Instead, Songzhi said, "Just do it quickly if the queen has ordered it. How can it be your turn to ask the queen?"

Xichun lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Nian Shilan knew that she was reminding him with good intentions, so she didn't blame Xichun for being so nosy.

At this point, she really should go in and take a look.

But she was a little timid.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince will understand in the future. After tonight, he will no longer be the same Fourth Prince in front of the Emperor."

Songzhi saw what she was thinking and comforted her in a low voice.

Nian Shilan still didn't speak.

Her eyes were cold yet deep, like the only bright star in the dark and endless sky. No one could guess what she was thinking.

She just looked at the room like that. Songzhi couldn't tell whether she was anxious and distressed, or cold-blooded and heartless, seeing through everything.

Soon Xichun came out trotting, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is talking to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, just asking about his health. I was standing far away and only stole a peek. Although the Fourth Prince's face is pale, he can already sit up. I believe that with the careful care of the imperial physician, he will be well soon."

After a long time, Nian Shilan moved her eyes away and said, "Okay, that's good."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Sitting on the sedan chair on the way back to the palace, Nian Shilan finally relaxed.

That's right, today's 'bloody throat' was actually given by her.

Today, she deliberately guided Concubine Qi to poison the Third Prince.

I know that she will go to the imperial kitchen to make the arrangements in person, because she is afraid that if someone else gives the medicine and the dosage is too high, it will harm the Third Prince.

So she would definitely do it herself.

Then, Songzhi told her.

The queen suddenly learned about this.

Let Jianqiu order someone to swap the Third Prince's soup with the Fourth Prince's.

In fact, the Queen had already understood Concubine Qi's thoughts.

The Queen was naturally aware of the bowl of poison that she had intercepted.

So tonight she switched the soups of the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince. If this matter is investigated further, they will definitely find the poison in Concubine Qi's palace, and Concubine Qi's sophistry will naturally drag her into the water.

In this way, two concubines can be dealt with at once.

One is the mother of the prince, and the other is a favorite concubine who assists in managing the harem.

So she just went with the flow.

Songzhi prepared a bowl of soup with "Strychnos nux vomica" smeared on it, which was consumed by the Fourth Prince.

In this way, everything will go smoothly tonight.

As the Fourth Prince was murdered, the Empress Dowager felt sorry for her grandson and would certainly not let him go back to the Old Summer Palace to recuperate directly. She would definitely keep him in the palace for a while.

When Nian Shilan returned to Yiku Palace, she instructed Songzhi to ask Imperial Physician Xie Yun to take care of the Fourth Prince's condition.

Be careful not to make mistakes.

Songzhi agreed and immediately sent someone to do it.

Then Zhou Ninghai hurried over, "Your Majesty, the Emperor did not go to the Empress's place tonight, but came to... to our Yikun Palace. Your Majesty, please prepare to receive him!"
