Nian Shilan looked up at the Queen Mother and saw that she didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and there seemed to be more memories in her eyes.

"Forget it, Your Majesty, this is all I like. Anyway, Concubine Hua, I know you are a good kid. You must remind the Emperor more often. Even though the Empress is now the Empress, I know the relationship between her and the Emperor. It's just that they are both so old now, and I just don't want to talk about it."

The Queen Mother gave Nian Shilan some detailed instructions before letting her return to Yikun Palace.

After returning to Yiku Palace, Nian Shilan was not idle either. It was still early, and Yu was a show-off, so she might as well find something for her to do.

"Ganoderma lucidum."

"Let's go to Zhongcui Palace. The Queen Mother wants me to agree!" Nian Shilan said with a smile while rolling the jade wheel on her face.

Looking at Nian Shilan's expression, Songzhi also understood the purpose of Nian Shilan's behavior.

Lingzhi had an unfamiliar face and she didn't often go out with Nian Shilan, so few people could recognize that Lingzhi was from the Yikun Palace. Only the Queen, Concubine Duan, and a few old people in the palace could recognize her.

After arranging all this, Nian Shilan went to bed without even having dinner. As for what was happening over at Yu's, they would talk about it tomorrow.

Just one hour after Concubine Hua fell asleep, little Ningzi rushed to Yikun Palace in a hurry. As soon as he ran to the door, he was stopped by Zhou Ninghai.

"What are you doing? Be careful. The queen is resting. If you disturb her rest, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

This little Ningzi is Zhou Ninghai's direct subordinate after all, but compared with Concubine Hua, Zhou Ninghai does not favor him at all.

Listening to Zhou Ninghai's words, Xiao Ningzi was also in a dilemma: "Master, there is a movement in the Imperial Garden, and I dare not not come to report it. If I really make the Queen angry..."

This matter really made Zhou Ninghai feel troubled. It was true that Concubine Hua had explained this matter before, but Zhou Ninghai had been with Concubine Hua for so many years and knew her personality. She hated being disturbed when she was sleeping.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Ninghai thought of calling Songzhi out first to think of a solution. After all, one more person means one more solution.

"Miss Songzhi, please tell me what to do." Xiao Ningzi looked worried.

He knew that if Concubine Hua was really angry, he would be the one in trouble.

"It would be fine if it were a little later, but Your Majesty has just gone to bed. Besides, Your Majesty is tired after a whole day."

Songzhi thought about it and said, but it seemed that she didn't want to wake up Concubine Hua.

"How about asking Aunt Jinxi to come out and ask?"

Seeing that no one was talking, Songzhi made another suggestion.

"Okay." Zhou Ninghai nodded first.

"Alright, alright, you guys are still making so much noise outside, aren't you afraid of waking up the queen?"

Before anyone could go in and shout, Jinxi came out by herself: "Everyone go back to your own work. I'll go talk to the queen later. Xiao Ningzi, you should also go back to the Imperial Garden and keep an eye on it."

Originally, it was nothing. In Jinxi's eyes, this incident had caused them to make a fuss out of nothing.

"Alright, what are you arguing about? Come in! I'm awake."

Nian Shilan's voice came from inside the house.

After hearing this, several people hurriedly went in one by one. They looked at Concubine Hua sitting on the couch with an impatient look, but they did not lose their temper.

In fact, Concubine Hua knew in her heart that they were all doing it for her own good, so even though they woke her up, she did not pursue the matter.

"Tell me, Xiao Ningzi, what's going on? Is there any movement in the Imperial Garden?!"

As soon as she saw Xiao Ningzi coming, Hua Fei thought of this first. Apart from the Imperial Garden, there seemed to be nothing else to do.

Xiao Ningzi immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Madam Hua Fei, I just saw some movement in the Imperial Garden, so I hurried over here. I dared not delay for even a moment."

"What's the current situation in the Imperial Garden? Please tell me in detail." Hua Fei asked hurriedly. It seemed that she had lost her sleepiness and was fully alert.

"Just now I saw Concubine Wan from Suiyuxuan. She was just like last time, admiring flowers, playing some music, and swinging on the swing. Nothing else. But then Yu Ying from Zhongcui Palace came and seemed to be disrespectful to Concubine Wan."

"Disrespectful?! How do you say that?"

Xiao Ningzi did not dare to hide anything from Nian Shilan, and quickly told Concubine Hua everything she had just seen.

Listening to what Xiao Ningzi said, Concubine Hua probably understood.

This Yu was really impatient. I guess she hadn't gotten anything good from the Queen Mother. And she happened to meet Zhen Huan in the Imperial Garden. So she took it out on Zhen Huan.

Concubine Hua sat there for a long time, just smiling complacently. It seemed that her plan was on track.

"Alright, I know about it, you go back and keep an eye on it, come over anytime if you have any news."

There was nothing to worry about, so Concubine Hua sent Xiao Ningzi away.

"This Yu is really frivolous. She is just a lowly maid, but now she dares to put on airs in front of the concubine." Song Zhi mocked coldly.

Songzhi also looked down on Yu from the bottom of her heart.

"Well, stop talking. This Yu can't show off for a few days. The emperor only favored her for a few days on a whim. It may not be the same in the future. You don't have to be angry over a lowly maid. You can just talk about it in Yikun Palace, but just keep your mouth shut when you go out."

Hearing Songzhi complaining, Concubine Hua also hurriedly said that she was not afraid of talking in Yikun Palace, but she was afraid that if she went out and was heard by others, they would have evidence against her, not only Songzhi, but also the Yikun Palace.

For several days, Nian Shilan didn't pay attention to Yu, and there was no movement in the Imperial Garden, just like usual.

Concubine Hua went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects to the Queen as usual. Coincidentally, Yu was also there, with a smug look on her face.

"Yu agreed to come early today and is really attentive." Nian Shilan did not give Yu any face and said it directly in front of the queen.

Yu was not afraid at all. After all, this was in Jingren Palace, and she had the Queen's support.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Hua."

Yu bowed and continued, "I came early because I have the Empress in my heart. I respect the Empress, so how could I not come early?"

After hearing this, Nian Shilan knew what this meant. Didn't it mean that he didn't respect the Queen? He was just a promise, but he had already learned how to sow discord.

"Oh? Really? Are you saying that I don't respect the Queen? You're stirring up trouble and wreaking havoc in the palace. Aren't you afraid that I'll punish you?"
