The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Seeing this, Nian Shilan understood that the emperor had made up his mind. No matter what she said, she could not change the emperor's mind. So she had no choice but to sit on a chair aside and said nothing.

When the emperor saw Nian Shilan's expression, he thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. I said I would believe you. As for the rest, we will deal with it after we catch the spy."

Nian Shilan nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your wisdom."

After the emperor comforted Nian Shilan for a few words, he left Qingliang Palace on the pretext that he had government affairs to deal with.

After the emperor left, Nian Shilan quickly ordered Songzhi to call Nian Xi and Nian Wen over. Songzhi also knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to delay. She hurriedly left the main hall to look for them.

Nian Shilan did not believe the emperor's promise to her, because the emperor had always been planning to get rid of the Nian family, and now he was just letting her relax her guard and doing it for others to see.

After Nian Xi and Nian Wen came in, they looked at Nian Shilan with some confusion, not knowing why Nian Shilan had rushed to find them. Nian Xi and Nian Wen suppressed their doubts, bowed and said, "Your servants pay their respects to the queen."

Nian Shilan's tone was filled with some uncontrollable sadness, and she said in a hoarse voice: "You guys get up, I'm looking for you today, it's important, it's a matter of great importance, you must do it for me. Otherwise, all of our lives will be in danger."

When Nian Xi and Nian Wen heard what Nian Shilan said, they were shocked and responded in unison: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, we will do our best and will never let you down."

Nian Shilan nodded, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Nian Xi, "Send this letter to General Nian. Remember, you must hand it to him personally and not to anyone else."

Nian Xi took the letter and carefully put it in her arms, "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely do it."

Nian Shilan looked at Nian Wen again, "Go find Nian Xi, and then go with him to the address I gave you. Take this purse, get the food and fodder, and deliver it to the border area. Remember, everything must be done quickly!"

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she handed a note and the purse to Nian Wen. Nian Wen took it, opened the note and read it, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Yes, Madam, I will definitely take care of this matter."

Nian Xi and Nian Wen left after they finished speaking. Nian Shilan looked at the backs of Nian Xi and Nian Wen as they left, sighed slowly, and prayed in her heart, hoping that everything would not be in time.

Nian Shilan was waiting anxiously in the palace. She knew very well that this operation was related to the life and death of the Nian family and there could not be any mistakes.

A few hours later, Nian Xi brought back a reply from Nian Gengyao, in which Nian Gengyao said that he had received the intelligence and would be prepared to deal with it, and asked Nian Shilan not to worry about anything and to take good care of Xiao Yaoguang.

On the other hand, Nian Wen and Nian Xi also successfully retrieved the food and supplies and transported them to the border as planned.

However, what they didn't know was that during the transportation, they encountered an ambush by the enemy...

Of course, all this happened later. When Nian Shilan received the news that they were ambushed by the enemy, Nian Wen and Nian Xi had already escaped successfully with food and supplies.

Just when Nian Shilan was feeling uneasy in the Summer Palace, she suddenly heard the emperor's decree that he wanted to return to the palace.

When Nian Shilan heard the news, she felt terrible. If she returned to Beijing at this time, she would definitely not receive any news from Nian Wen and Nian Xi. When Nian Shilan was thinking about how to convince the emperor to delay his return to Beijing, Su Peisheng came to Qingliang Palace.

After Su Peisheng entered the palace, he bowed to Nian Shilan and said, "Your servant Su Peisheng pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."

When Nian Shilan saw Su Peisheng, she immediately smiled and said, "Why is Eunuch Su here today? If the emperor has anything to say, please let Eunuch Su pass it on to me."

Su Peisheng smiled and bowed. He looked around and saw that there were no other servants in the palace except Songzhi. He then took a few steps forward and lowered his voice a little, but it was loud enough for Nian Shilan to hear clearly, "I want to tell the Queen that if the Emperor wants to return to the capital, the Queen must go with him."

Nian Shilan was a little puzzled when she heard what Su Peisheng said, "Why is this? I don't know. Please give me some advice, Eunuch Su."

Su Peisheng heard this and smiled, "The Queen Mother who is locked up in the torture chamber may not be doing well. As the mother of a country, no matter what the situation is, if you are not here during the Queen Mother's funeral, I'm afraid it will cause people to talk about it..."

When Nian Shilan heard what Su Peisheng said, she knew that she would have to go back to the capital with the emperor this time, whether she was willing or not, so she had no choice but to smile and nodded, "Okay, I understand, thank you, Eunuch Su."

Su Peisheng quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me. I am also following the emperor's orders."

Nian Shilan naturally knew that there was some truth in Su Peisheng's words, but she didn't expose him. She just looked at Songzhi and ordered, "Go and bring the bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup that I prepared for the emperor to Eunuch Su in the small kitchen."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she looked at Su Peisheng with a proper smile on her face, "I was just thinking about going to the Qinzheng Palace to see the emperor. Now that Eunuch Su has come, it's just the right time. It's hot outside, so I won't go. Please help me bring him to the emperor."

Su Peisheng was very happy to hear what Nian Shilan said. The queen was really a clever person. Su Peisheng respectfully promised Nian Shilan: "Don't worry, queen, I will bring it to the emperor in person, so that the emperor can feel the queen's love for him."

Nian Shilan smiled and said nothing more. Nian Shilan knew that Su Peisheng was a capable man beside the emperor, and the concubines in the palace were probably watching his every move closely. Now that the Nian family was at the center of the storm, Nian Shilan naturally had to protect Su Peisheng and must not drag him into the quagmire. If Su Peisheng was really unable to protect himself, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to gain a foothold in front of the emperor.

Half an hour after Su Peisheng returned to the Qinzheng Hall, all the concubines in the Mountain Resort at Yuanmingyuan received the emperor's decree to return to the palace early the next day.

All of a sudden the concubines started to get busy again, directing their personal maids to pack their belongings.

When night fell, an uninvited guest came to Nian Shilan's Qingliang Palace.

The man was wearing a black nightgown, standing quietly in the courtyard of Qingliang Palace. Nian Shilan came out and spoke first, "Didn't I tell you not to come here unless you have something to do, and to have someone send a message to me if you have something to do?"
