The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Nian Shilan listened to Yun'er's words and sighed helplessly, "You should know that even if you cut off your relationship with the Nian family now, I will not bear a grudge against you. Because you have no relationship with the Nian family in the first place. You have been with me for so many years and have done enough for me."

Yun'er shook her head, "Sister, I have been by your side for so many years, and I know how good you have been to me. I have made up my mind, and I will face it together this time. If anything unexpected happens, you will have me by your side on the road to the underworld."

Nian Shilan was deeply moved by Yun'er's words. She reached out and rubbed Yun'er's hair, then sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to keep you safe."

Yun'er just reached out and held Nian Shilan's hand tightly, as if she wanted to give Nian Shilan some warmth and strength.

The Changle Palace here was quite cozy, but the emperor in the Yangxin Palace was not in a very good mood.

The emperor looked at Xia Qian with an unhappy expression and asked, "Didn't I tell you that everything should be put on hold? Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"

Xia Qian looked at the emperor's furious expression and quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know what went wrong. The soldiers at the border did not receive our letter."

The emperor slammed the table in anger and said, "Since you haven't received it, then go check it out! I want to see who dares to stir up trouble over me!"

Xia Qian looked at the emperor's angry expression and continued, "Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to investigate, but Your Majesty has no way out of this matter, so why not proceed according to the original plan?"

The emperor listened to Xia Qian's words and pondered for a long time. The emperor himself knew that once the people he sent did these things, they would be silenced, and no one would be able to find out the truth. Nian Gengyao's family would definitely be blamed. If he did not punish Nian Gengyao at this time, the people would definitely think that he was biased towards the queen's family and was unfair, which would shake the people's hearts and be disadvantageous to him.

After a long while, the emperor nodded and said feebly, "Go, the plan will proceed as usual."

After hearing this, Xia Qian immediately took the order and went down.

The emperor sat alone in the Yangxin Palace, quietly turning the beads in his hand, his thoughts a little vague for a moment.

Su Peisheng naturally heard the emperor's rage outside the palace. After Xia Qi left, Su Peisheng carefully entered the Yangxin Palace and poured tea for the emperor.

Suddenly the emperor looked at Su Peisheng and asked, "Do you think I did something wrong?"

Su Peisheng was startled by the emperor's question, and quickly lowered his head and bent his body to reply: "I dare not, I know that the emperor is in a high position, and many things are forced."

The emperor listened to Su Peisheng's words and smiled lightly, his laughter full of sarcasm, "I have no choice? Who would believe me?"

Su Peisheng wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. In the understanding of Su Peisheng since he was a child, his master is the Son of Heaven, the emperor. There is no possibility that he would make any mistakes. If there is, it must be that they, the servants, are wrong. However, this time, the only person Su Peisheng felt distressed for was Nian Shilan. He has served the emperor for so many years. Although Su Peisheng is a rootless person, he can see that Nian Shilan treats the emperor wholeheartedly. However, he doesn't know what happened recently. When Nian Shilan looks at the emperor, there is no tenderness in her eyes that she had in those years, but she still sympathizes with the emperor in her heart.

The emperor felt bored when he saw Su Peisheng's silence. He said, "I'm going out for a walk. Don't follow me." Then the emperor left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

After the emperor came out, he wandered around while thinking about things, and somehow he ended up at Yanqing Palace where Concubine Duan was.

The emperor thought that he hadn't seen Concubine Duan for a while, so after thinking for a while, he pushed open the door of Yanqing Palace and walked in.

When Jixiang saw the emperor coming, he was very surprised and bowed, "Your servant greets the emperor."

The emperor asked in a bad mood: "Where is your queen?"

When Jixiang heard the emperor's question, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, my queen is in the inner palace."

The emperor nodded and walked towards the inner hall. The movement outside the door naturally attracted Qi Yuebin's attention. As soon as Qi Yuebin walked to the door, she saw the emperor entering the hall. Qi Yuebin bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor did not stop to see this, but walked to the couch and sat down, then said: "Get up, have you been well these days?"

Qi Yuebin stood up and said in a steady voice, "Your Majesty, I am fine. Thank you for your concern."

The emperor waved his hand indifferently. Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything else, Qi Yuebin ordered Jixiang to prepare some tea and snacks for the emperor.

Upon hearing this, the emperor said to Qi Yuebin: "No need to prepare snacks, I will come and sit with you."

Seeing this, Qi Yuebin dismissed the servants in the palace, walked to the emperor and sat down, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, since you came to my palace, I have noticed that you have been frowning, is there anything troubling you?"

The emperor looked at Qi Yuebin, was silent for a long time, and only said, "I am just worried about state affairs."

Qi Yuebin smiled gently, her eyes full of concern. She comforted the emperor softly, "Your Majesty, please do not be too worried or troubled. You are the wise ruler of the Qing Dynasty! The people are lucky to have an emperor like you to govern the country, and they will definitely be grateful to you. If the emperor is overworked because of handling state affairs and affects his health, it will be a misfortune for the people of the world. So, please take care of yourself."

The emperor looked at Qi Yuebin, pondered for a moment and asked: "Do you think I am a wise ruler? I want to hear what you think makes a wise ruler."

Qi Yuebin looked at the emperor and said very naturally: "I think the emperor is worthy of being a wise ruler. In my opinion, knowing how to use people and trusting them is the foundation of the world. Now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the ministers the emperor uses are doing their job and protecting the country. Isn't this a wise ruler?"

The emperor listened to Qi Yuebin's words, muttering to himself, "Know people and use them well, and trust people you use." He was lost in thought for a moment.

Seeing that the emperor had taken his words to heart, Qi Yuebin did not rush to say anything, fearing that the emperor would become suspicious again.

After a long while, the emperor looked at Qi Yuebin with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes and asked, "Have you heard anything recently?"

Qi Yuebin smiled slowly upon hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, you know my temper. Although I am feeling better now, I am still reluctant to go out on weekdays, let alone listen to hearsay."
