The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After hearing this, Nian Shilan blurted out in disbelief: "How could the food and grass be burned? Weren't there any soldiers guarding it?"

Qi Yuebin sighed and looked at Nian Shilan, hesitant to speak. Nian Shilan sensed something was wrong and asked in disbelief, "It can't be related to our Nian family, right?"

Qi Yuebin nodded, "Yes, the soldier holding the Nian family badge is the one guarding the granary."

Nian Shilan felt dizzy. She tried to steady herself and asked in a trembling voice, "If we can't prove the innocence of the Nian family, I'm afraid the entire Nian family will suffer a devastating disaster."

Qi Yuebin nodded, looked at Nian Shilan with some concern and asked, "Are you okay?"

Nian Shilan shook her head and bit her red lips tightly with her teeth. She bit her lips tightly as if she wanted to swallow all the pain.

Nian Shilan's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness. After a while, a trace of bright red blood spread between Nian Shilan's lips and teeth. The red liquid slowly flowed down the corners of her mouth, as if she was silently expressing the sadness and pain deep in her heart. The blood stains on her white skin formed a sharp contrast, making her look even more haggard and fragile.

Qi Yuebin looked at Nian Shilan and sighed, "Why are you hurting yourself like this? Do you expect him to feel sorry for you?"

Nian Shilan could not understand why the emperor sent all the imperial doctors to cure her brother and comfort him, and why the emperor kept pursuing her even though she only gave birth to a princess who would not pose any threat to the Qing Dynasty or her position as the prince.

Seeing Nian Shilan's panic at the moment, Qi Yuebin couldn't help but reach out and grab Nian Shilan's wrist tightly.

The pain in her wrist made Nian Shilan feel a little painful, and her rationality returned a little. Nian Shilan looked at Qi Yuebin in confusion.

"Are you going to be so self-pitying and be defeated by the emperor's scheme? Don't you want to save your brother and the Nian family?" Qi Yuebin looked at Nian Shilan with disappointment and questioned.

Nian Shilan's tears slid down her cheeks drop by drop, and she cried out weakly, "What else can I do? Tell me what else I can do?"

Qi Yuebin looked directly at Nian Shilan and said word by word, "Find a way to send someone who is respected by your Nian family to Fuzhou to deliver the food and fodder that I sent my father to prepare in advance to the soldiers at the border."

Qi Yuebin took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to Nian Shilan, then continued, "Tell him to take this purse of mine. I'll leave you the address. When the people over there see the purse, they will prepare everything according to my previous arrangements."

When Nian Shilan heard Qi Yuebin's words, she was very surprised, and the hand holding the purse trembled slightly, "You...you thought about it a long time ago?" Nian Shilan's voice trembled a little.

Qi Yuebin nodded, "I hadn't thought of these things at first. My father told me about them. He wanted to be prepared, so he sent people to prepare in advance. But this matter is of great importance, you must send someone you trust to do it, and do it quickly!"

Nian Shilan held the purse tightly, her eyes firm, "Okay, I know the seriousness of the matter, don't worry, even if our Nian family is in danger one day, I will never involve you."

Qi Yuebin patted the back of Nian Shilan's hand and said, "I hope it's not too late."

Nian Shilan nodded. Qi Yuebin realized that everything that needed to be said had been made clear, so he turned around and left in a hurry.

In the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor looked at the letter from the border and didn't know what to do for a moment. There were too many things to do during this period. Since the emperor sent a letter to suspend the plan that day, he has not paid attention to the things on the other side. Unexpectedly, his previous letter did not reach the border, and the plan went according to plan.

The emperor suddenly felt a little at a loss. If he insisted on punishing Nian Gengyao and the Nian family, he was afraid that Nian Shilan would resent him. If he did not punish them, how could he appease the public anger?

Just when the emperor was in trouble, Su Peisheng came into the palace to report that Nian Shilan took off her hairpin outside the palace and apologized, wanting to see the emperor.

The emperor was even more confused for a moment and didn't want to see Nian Shilan, but after all, she was now his queen. The rules in the Summer Resort were not as strict as those in the Forbidden City. If he delayed seeing her, in less than an incense stick of time, the whole Summer Resort would be filled with the news that the emperor was implicated because of the queen's family's poor performance.

The emperor rubbed his brows, sighed and said, "Send it!"

When Nian Shilan entered the palace, the emperor thought he would see her crying, but she looked a little haggard, and her clothes were no longer as gorgeous as before. She wore a white palace dress embroidered with pear blossoms, and no jewelry. After entering the palace, she knelt straight on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan like this and couldn't bear to blame her, so he said, "Get up."

Nian Shilan shook his head, still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The Nian family's waist badge was lost and picked up by a traitorous spy, which caused the border soldiers to make mistakes. The Nian family has sent people to collect food and transport it to the border area. They will definitely capture the enemy spy and bring him back. Then, Your Majesty, please punish me as well."

"Why are you doing this?" The emperor sighed helplessly, "I didn't say I was going to blame your Nian family."

"The Xie family died on the battlefield for the stability of the Qing Dynasty. Although the Nian family is not the Xie family, they will also go through fire and water for the emperor and the Qing Dynasty." Nian Shilan said in a firm tone.

The emperor's heart moved, and looking at the woman in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Forget it, get up. As for the Nian family, we will deal with them after we catch the spy." The emperor helped Nian Shilan up, "You don't have to worry too much, everything will be fine."

Nian Shilan burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then Nian Shilan raised her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I have a request."

The emperor looked at her in confusion and said, "Go ahead."

"I am willing to go to Fuzhou in person to help the Nian family transport food and investigate the truth of this incident." Nian Shilan straightened her back. "As the daughter of the Nian family, I should take responsibility for the Nian family. At the same time, as the mother of a country, I should help the emperor solve his problems and do my part for the country."

The emperor frowned slightly, "The journey is long and full of dangers. How can a weak woman like you endure it?"

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Although I am a woman, I also have a heart to serve my country. Moreover, I believe that with the wisdom and bravery of the emperor, I will be able to keep me safe."

After hearing this, the emperor still frowned and did not agree to Nian Shilan's request. "You don't have to say more. I won't agree. You have to believe that your Nian family will handle this matter well."
