The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The emperor nodded upon hearing this. Yes, Qi Yuebin was not willing to get involved in the gossip in the harem, not to mention the matter about Nian Gengyao's family. If Qi Yuebin really heard about it, he would only add insult to injury and would not plead for Nian Gengyao.

After the emperor sat for a while, he looked at Qi Yuebin and said, "I have something else to do. I will come to see you another day."

Qi Yuebin saw the emperor and stood up to see him off. When the emperor reached the door, Qi Yuebin called out again, "Your Majesty, wait a minute."

The emperor looked back at Qi Yuebin in confusion. Qi Yuebin walked forward, picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of the emperor's lips. She said tenderly, "Your Majesty, I see that the corner of your mouth is a little dry. Remember to ask Eunuch Su to make you more chrysanthemum tea."

When the emperor heard Qi Yuebin's concern, he reached out and patted Qi Yuebin on the shoulder perfunctorily, meaning that he understood, and then strode out of Yanqing Palace.

Nian Shilan naturally knew that the emperor had gone to Yanqing Palace, and she felt a little relieved, because she knew that Qi Yuebin would definitely say a few words for the Nian family in front of the emperor.

Zhen Huan was in Sui Yuxuan, and was also a little worried about the affairs of the Nian family. After thinking about it, she called Huanbi to talk to her, to see if she could sort out some thoughts and help Nian Shilan.

When Huanbi entered the palace, she saw her leaning on the couch with a worried look on her face. She walked up to her and asked with concern, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhen Huan shook her head. "I was just thinking about the Queen. I am always a little worried that the Nian family will not be able to escape this disaster."

Huanbi comforted her after hearing this: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. I think the Queen has some plans now."

Zhen Huan sighed, "The Queen told me a few days ago that the soldiers on the border are running short of food and grass. This is a serious matter. If we really can't find evidence that the Nian family can get away with it, I'm afraid the entire Nian family will be executed."

After hearing this, Huanbi said thoughtfully, "What if the good deeds can make up for the bad deeds?"

Zhen Huan smiled bitterly, "How can the emperor let the Nian family go? The emperor has always been wary of the Nian family. This is not something that can be changed overnight."

Huanbi blurted out, "If Lord Nian or the Empress were seriously injured in order to save the Emperor, would that prove the Nian family's loyalty to the Emperor?"

Zhen Huan was shocked when she heard Huanbi's words, and quickly said, "You are too bold. Not to mention that the emperor has so many personal guards following him, who would dare to murder the emperor now? Do you know that if someone with ulterior motives hears what you said, you will have your head moved ten times!"

After being reminded by Zhen Huan's words, Huanbi was also filled with fear.

"I know I was wrong, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Huanbi was so scared that she knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhen Huan shook her head helplessly, "Get up, and don't say that again in the future."

"However, what you just said gave me an idea..." Zhen Huan said thoughtfully.

"What method?" Huanbi asked curiously.

"Although no one dares to murder the emperor, war is always cruel. If Lord Nian is injured for the country... maybe we can give it a try." Zhen Huan analyzed.

"But who can predict what will happen on the battlefield?" Huanbi said worriedly.

"No matter what the result is, we can only do our best." Zhen Huan's eyes were firm.

Zhen Huan suddenly became serious and told Huanbi, "Go ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks. Later, you can take the third princess to personally present them to the queen and tell her that the third princess wants to see her sister."

When Huanbi heard this, she knew that Zhen Huan wanted to pass on her idea to Nian Shilan. Without delay, she ran to the small kitchen and asked the servants to prepare some snacks that the Queen would like to eat.

After everything was ready, Huanbi brought the cakes back to the main hall of Suiyuxuan. Zhen Huan placed a note under the cakes and reminded Huanbi again, "Don't let anyone else take it. Deliver it to the Queen in person."

Huanbi nodded seriously, "My lady, don't worry, I will definitely get it done."

Zhen Huan was relieved, "Okay, you can take Yongan with you."

In the royal family, princesses are not named like princes and have to be included in the ancestral temple, so the emperor named Zhen Huan's third princess Yao Jiang, and the title was "Yong'an", hoping that the third princess would always be safe and sound. Zhen Huan liked this title very much and always called her Yong'an on weekdays.

Huanbi and Princess Yong'an had a smooth journey to Changle Palace. When they arrived at the gate of Changle Palace, Huanbi knocked on the door politely, and it was Zhou Ninghai who opened the door.

When Zhou Ninghai saw that it was Huanbi who came with Princess Yong'an, he immediately welcomed them into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

"Hey, why did Miss Huanbi bring Princess Yong'an to Changle Palace today?" Although Zhou Ninghai was asking Huanbi, his eyes were looking at little Yong'an without blinking, and he loved Yong'an very much in his heart. It's just that before Xiao Yaoguang, Princess Yong'an ranked first in her heart, but now after seeing Xiao Yaoguang, Princess Yong'an is a little bit inferior to Xiao Yaoguang.

Huanbi couldn't help laughing as she looked at Zhou Ninghai. "The third princess wanted to come and see Yaoguang today, so I brought Yongan with me. I just wonder if the queen and Princess Yaoguang are free?"

After hearing this, Zhou Ninghai said quickly, "Of course there is. Wait for me to tell the Queen."

Huanbi nodded, and saw Zhou Ninghai running towards the main hall of Changle Palace like a gust of wind.

After a while, Zhou Ninghai ran back and said respectfully, "Our queen invited Miss Huanbi and Princess Yongan to the main hall to reminisce about the past."

Upon hearing this, Huanbi nodded slightly to Zhou Ninghai and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou."

Zhou Ninghai led the way in front. Huanbi held Princess Yong'an's hand and followed Zhou Ninghai quietly without saying a word along the way.

After entering the main hall, Zhou Ninghai tactfully withdrew after Huanbi and Xiao Yongan entered the main hall, and stayed outside the door to guard it carefully.

Nian Shilan was a little surprised when she saw Huanbi, "Why are you here today? What did your Concubine Xi say?"

Huanbi smiled slightly, handed the box of cakes in her hand to Nian Shilan and said, "Queen, this is something my queen wants to give to you. See if Princess Yaoguang likes it."

When Nian Shilan saw this, she knew there was a secret behind the pastries, so she didn't say anything. She just opened the pastry box and studied it carefully. After a while, Nian Shilan saw the note under the pastry.

The moment the note was opened, Nian Shilan could not see anything that Zhen Huan had written before, and she was a little surprised.
