The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Nian Shilan shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. The Third Prince may have just lost his mother and is in a bad mood. He just lost his sense of proportion for a moment."

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan and said distressedly, "You have been wronged."

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor and smiled softly, "Your Majesty knows that I have been wronged, so I don't feel wronged anymore."

The emperor patted Nian Shilan's hand and spoke again: "I still have some government affairs to deal with, you should take a good rest. If there is anything else, just send someone to tell me."

Nian Shilan bowed softly and said, "Your Highness is greeted with respect."

After the emperor left, Nian Shilan whispered to Songzhi, "Go and find out who was gossiping in front of the Third Prince today."

After hearing this, Songzhi agreed and left the bedroom.

When Songzhi was about to leave, Nian Shilan instructed, "Go and bring Nian Xi to me."

Songzhi first went to find Nian Xi and told her that Nian Shilan wanted to see her, and then went to investigate the third prince's affairs.

Now that Nian Xi has recovered, he disguised himself as a palace maid in Nian Shilan's Yikun Palace and came to the Summer Palace with Nian Shilan, while Nian Wen stayed in the Forbidden City.

When Nian Xi entered the palace and saw Nian Shilan, she bowed and said, "Your servant greets the queen."

Nian Shilan said calmly, "Get up, are you well now?"

Nian Xi patted her chest confidently and assured, "Don't worry, Madam, I have recovered. If you have anything, just tell me."

Nian Shilan looked at Nian Xi, smiled, and slowly said, "I asked you to come here today to pass on a message to Nian Wen. The emperor will take brother to the Summer Palace in the Summer Palace to recuperate soon. I want Nian Wen to bring a few people to pretend to be the emperor's confidants, and then assassinate brother on the way. This matter is very dangerous, and it must be done without any loopholes."

When Nian Xi heard what Nian Shilan said, she took a deep breath and said, "My Lady, have you thought it through?"

Nian Shilan nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor is too afraid of the Nian family now. If I don't do this, I won't be able to think of a way to protect my brother for a while."

Nian Xi nodded after hearing this, and then asked again: "Should we inform Lord Nian about this matter in advance?"

Nian Shilan thought for a while and said, "Of course I want it, but Nian Wen has to go there in person, otherwise I'm always worried that the news will leak out."

Nian Xi nodded and said, "Okay, Madam, I understand. I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Nian Shilan looked at Nian Xi, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, and said, "I believe you will protect my brother."

Nian Xi quickly assured, "Don't worry, Madam. I will make sure that Master Nian comes to you without any worries about his life."

After receiving the order, Nian Xi began to arrange the relevant matters.

A few days later, the emperor issued an edict, summoning Nian Gengyao to the Old Summer Palace to recuperate.

After the emperor issued the edict, he came to Qingliang Palace. At this time, Nian Shilan was lazily lying on the chaise longue, eating fruit.

The emperor saw this scene when he entered the palace, and walked up to Nian Shilan with a smile, "My beloved concubine, do you have a good appetite now?"

When Nian Shilan saw the emperor coming, she put the fruit in her hand on the table beside her, looked at the emperor and said coquettishly: "Nowadays, I often feel that it is not cool enough and my appetite is not good, but the fruits in these ice jars are good."

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan lovingly, and then he still reminded her with some concern: "No matter how hot the weather is, my beloved concubine should eat less cold food. Be careful that the little princess in your belly will lose her temper."

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor's smiling face and asked with a smile: "What happened today? Why is the emperor so happy?"

The emperor took Nian Shilan's hand, gently stroked her bulging belly, and said with a smile: "I just received a victory report from the border. Xiao Tao, who was newly promoted to the border, won another victory."

Nian Shilan was shocked, but she didn't show it on the surface. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a man of discerning eyes. The person you chose is so talented. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed loudly, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Xiao Tao was once your brother's subordinate. In this case, I still have to thank your brother. He has made great contributions. Your brother has always been my pride. His former subordinates can now achieve this victory, which greatly enhances the prestige of our dynasty."

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor say this, she said in a panic, "Your Majesty, you really praise my brother too much. My brother has no ability and he just follows orders. My brother's military achievements are all due to your good training."

The emperor was very happy with what Nian Shilan said, and then he thought of something and said, "I have issued an order to bring your brother from the capital to the Summer Resort to recuperate. You will be able to see your brother soon."

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's words, she felt a little worried. She wondered whether Nian Wen and the others had received the order she had passed on. However, she pretended to be very happy and looked at the emperor. "Really? Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard what Nian Shilan said, he smiled evilly and said, "If my beloved concubine really wants to thank me, then after this baby is born, you can recover as soon as possible and give birth to another prince for me."

Nian Shilan's cheeks were flushed, and she leaned on the emperor's arms shyly, saying in a coquettish tone: "Your Majesty, what are you saying in front of the child! Aren't you afraid that the princess will not be close to you after she is born?"

When the emperor heard what Nian Shilan said, he laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, okay, I won't mention it anymore."

After the emperor left, Nian Shilan's face suddenly turned gloomy. She didn't expect that the person the emperor would use at the border would be Xiao Tao. Nian Shilan knew him and was very sure that this person would not be a good thing for her and her unborn child. She had to find a way to get rid of this threat...

At night, Nian Shilan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She was worried that the plan would fail, and even more worried about her brother's safety. So she sent Songzhi to secretly call Nian Xi over.

After Nian Xi entered the palace, she saw Nian Shilan, who looked uneasy, and understood what was going on. She hurried forward to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, Madam. I have already passed the message to Nian Wen, and everything is ready."

After hearing Nian Xi's words, Nian Shilan's expression relaxed a little, but her brows were still furrowed and unable to relax.

Nian Xi looked at Nian Shilan and asked, "Madam, what are you worried about?"

Nian Shilan shook her head. "I don't know. I just feel uneasy. I always feel that something is going to happen."

Seeing Nian Shilan's worry, Nian Xi comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. Maybe it's because your due date is approaching and the little princess is making a fuss."
