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

Nian Shilan had just sat down when she heard this and stood up anxiously.

"How could it be? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the fifteenth day. Why would the emperor come to Yikun Palace?"

Zhou Ninghai came to pass on the news as soon as he got it. Now he was out of breath and said intermittently, "I heard that the emperor came directly from the prince's mansion. It was Xiao Xiazi in the imperial court who came to tell me, so I know about it."

Xichun blinked, "Madam, do you want to change your clothes to welcome the emperor?"

For her, the emperor's arrival was a good thing.

Nian Shilan waved her hand, "No need, hurry up..."

After saying that, he hurried to the door and stood there waiting for Yinzhen's arrival.

"The Emperor has not been to our Yikun Palace for a long time. I guess he came this time because he wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with our Empress. The kitchen has prepared mooncakes. Can you tell them to serve them?"

Xichun thought that she must serve the emperor well, so that she could keep the emperor coming to Yikun Palace more often.

But it was obvious that she was very bad at reading people's faces.

At this moment, Nian Shilan was upset, and there was no trace of expectation in her dark eyes.

"No need." He just said coldly.

Soon, the royal carriage arrived.

Nian Shilan hurried out to greet him.

"Welcome Your Majesty."

Yinzhen said calmly, "Well, get up."

After saying that, he walked inside with his long legs.

Nian Shilan hurriedly followed, "Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar year, and it is also the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why doesn't Your Majesty spend more time with the Empress?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen paused, his eyebrows moved, and he slowly turned around to look at Nian Shilan.

"You never said that before."

His voice was still clear and cold, and in such a quiet night it sounded as cold as the sound of jade being struck.

Nian Shilan put her hands on her chest, took a few steps forward and looked him in the eye.

"The Emperor never came to visit me before, even at the age of fifteen."

She could almost feel her heart pounding as she said this.

Yinzhen looked at her deeply, then took her hand and said slowly, "I remembered today that I haven't come to see you for a long time. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'm here to accompany you."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan forced a faint smile.

He was led into the inner room by Yinzhen.

She could feel Yinzhen's dominance and his unyielding attitude.

She knew that now was not a good time to say anything more, so she could only try to persuade Yinzhen to leave later.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how people in the court would discuss her, Concubine Hua, tomorrow.

Now that her brother's situation was precarious, she couldn't afford to make any more mistakes.

She guessed that the emperor's sudden visit might be because he had doubts about what happened tonight.

She raised her hand and motioned Xichun to bring the mooncakes.

"I saw that His Majesty didn't eat any mooncakes today. I know His Majesty's taste, so I asked the kitchen to make some. I was thinking of asking Zhou Ninghai to deliver it later, but I didn't expect His Majesty to come directly."

Nian Shilan smiled faintly and told lies without any panic.

Yinzhen patted her hands and said, "You are the most considerate. What happened tonight was too sudden. I am upset and have no appetite."

"So that's how it is. I'll ask them to make a pot of snow-capped chrysanthemum for the emperor to relieve his fatigue." Nian Shilan said considerately.

She waited for Yinzhen and took the initiative to mention his purpose.

"I was upset about Concubine Qi's incident tonight, but I didn't know it would involve you. How are you? You didn't feel frightened, did you?"

Under the guise of concern, he slowly revealed his purpose.

Nian Shilan chuckled, "To be honest, I was shocked. I never thought that Concubine Qi would be so bold as to attack the Fourth Prince."

Yinzhen nodded, "Yes, I have been with her for many years, but I never thought she would have such a vicious heart."

Hearing this, Nian Shilan slowly raised her eyes, with a strange feeling flowing in her eyes.

She suddenly changed her tone, "But Your Majesty, I find this matter quite strange."

Yinzhen suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her, "Oh? Why is it strange?"

"I feel that Concubine Qi had no reason to attack the Fourth Prince. When I poisoned the Queen, I did not report it to her because I found that Concubine Qi felt guilty and fearful afterwards. She regretted it and vowed never to do it again."

"And the reason is that the Queen raised the Third Prince, and Concubine Qi is resentful, so she is like this."

After she finished speaking, she looked carefully at the expression on Yinzhen's face and spoke word by word.

"But the Fourth Prince and Concubine Qi have never had any connection. Why would Concubine Qi want to harm the Fourth Prince? I wonder if the murderer is someone else."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan felt that the suspicion in Yinzhen's eyes had indeed faded a lot.

"I also find it strange. This happened suddenly. Fortunately, Hongli is safe and sound. Otherwise, I would never forgive her."

Nian Shilan said softly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. After all, Concubine Qi is the biological mother of the Third Prince. If Your Majesty really punishes her severely, I'm afraid the Third Prince will feel uncomfortable."

She spoke softly, as if a spring breeze was blowing.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes. "I can only blame her disappointing mother for feeling sad. But, I find it strange that..."

"Why did Concubine Qi say that you instigated her to poison the Third Prince?"

Nian Shilan raised her head and looked at him blankly, with a look of grievance on her face, "Your Majesty, I absolutely did not do that."

Yinzhen didn't say anything, just looked at her.

"I don't know why Concubine Qi said that, but how could I be so stupid as to instruct her to poison my child? Besides, Concubine Wan can testify. I have been with Concubine Wan tonight."

She knelt down, knowing that Yinzhen had become suspicious.

"Get up. I just find it strange that you and Wanpin had no contact with each other before, and you could only say a few words when you met. But today you can talk to each other."

Nian Shilan was pulled up by him, her emotional eyes were filled with tears, and she looked lovable.

"I used to have many grievances with Sister Wanpin, but since the incident in Penglai Island, we have mostly mended our differences. We just talked to each other under the moonlight tonight, and there was nothing else. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask Sister Wanpin in detail."

At the end of his speech, Nian Shilan shook his hands, as if to say, "If you don't believe me, forget it."

"How could I not believe it? I'm just asking out of curiosity. If you don't like to hear it, I won't ask anymore."

Nian Shilan pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears on her face with a handkerchief, and then said.

"I thank the emperor for caring about me, but today is the fifteenth day. If the queen can't wait for the emperor, she will be sad. Besides, I know that the emperor's thoughts are on me, which is enough for me."

"Your Majesty, please go and accompany the Queen earlier, so as not to make her wait anxiously."

Yinzhen stood up and looked at her with amusement.

"This is the first time you've chased me away. Do you take it seriously?"

Nian Shilan shook her body and said, "Of course it is true. Today, on the fifteenth day, I will definitely not dare to keep the emperor. I hope the emperor will understand my good intentions."
