The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After Huanbi left, Nian Shilan also told Songzhi to take Yuner away first.

"Songzhi, if there is someone outside the door, remember the secret code between us." Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi seriously and said.

After hearing this, Songzhi nodded solemnly and left. After leaving the hall, he asked Lingzhi to take Yun'er to walk around the courtyard to familiarize herself with the environment, while he firmly guarded the entrance to the main hall.

The queen trusts me so much, I must not let her down. As long as I am here, I will not allow even a fly to fly in, Songzhi swore secretly in her heart.

Only Nian Shilan and Madam Nian Su were left in the main hall. Madam Nian asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, who is this Wanpin?"

It was no wonder that Madam Nian was confused. Nian Gengyao was usually not in the capital, and his two children, Nian Xing and Nian Fu, loved to wield swords and guns and had a high opinion of themselves. Madam Nian often met with the wives of other military generals and was out of tune with the literary circle, so she had no idea about this.

"Sister-in-law, this Wanpin is Zhen Huan, the daughter of Zhen Yuandao, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. She has been secretly on good terms with me in the palace." Nian Shilan also knew that Madam Nian didn't know, so she answered her questions.

After saying that, Nian Shilan opened the box of snacks. They were lotus cakes, each one arranged very beautifully. Nian Shilan picked up one and broke it in half. Seeing that there was no note inside, she took another one.

After checking four or five, he finally found a note from Zhen Huan in the hibiscus cake. It read: "You think highly of yourself, and you have no power over the army."

After seeing the note, Nian Shilan and Mrs. Nian looked at each other, then burned it and destroyed it.

Madam Nian waited until Nian Shilan had finished all this before she asked, "Madam, does the Emperor suspect our Nian family and want to take away the military power?"

Nian Shilan exhaled slowly, and then spoke: "Now that my brother has just won a victory, even if the emperor is suspicious of us, he will not take the initiative to ask for the military power back. I'm afraid he will have people secretly collect my brother's faults, and when the time is right..."

Nian Shilan didn't say the rest, but Mrs. Nian understood.

Madam Nian asked again, "The reason why your brother holds the military power and is unwilling to hand it over is because he hopes that the emperor will be more afraid of us and treat you better. If the military power is handed over, will it affect you?"

Although Su was well brought up by her family since she was a child, she still didn't know much about the struggles in the harem, so she asked directly to see what Nian Shilan was thinking so that she would know what to do in the future.

Nian Shilan saw that her sister-in-law was looking at her with concern, and her expression was not false at all, so she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, since the emperor is suspicious, if we don't hand over the military power in time, it will have a greater impact on our Nian family."

After that, he went on to say to Madam Nian, "Sister-in-law, Yun'er checked my pulse just now, and you heard what she said. The musk in my body was given to me by the emperor. This matter is secret and of great importance. You must not mention it to anyone except you and me, especially my brother. He is reckless and cares too much about me. If he knew about this, it would definitely turn the world upside down, and our Nian family would be in complete disaster."

When Mrs. Nian heard what Nian Shilan said, she also understood the seriousness of the matter and repeatedly assured him, "Don't worry, I will never tell this to anyone else." Then she looked at Nian Shilan and sighed.

No one knew better than them how much Nian Shilan loved Yinzhen. With the status and position of the Nian family, it would be more than enough for her to marry into an ordinary official family, or even marry into a royal family and become a legal wife.

However, Nian Shilan only had eyes for Yinzhen, who was still the fourth prince at that time. After returning to the Nian Mansion, she cried and shouted in front of Nian Gengyao that she would not marry anyone but Yinzhen. Nian Gengyao loved his sister and finally agreed reluctantly. The Nian family also tried their best to help Yinzhen, and finally he won the battle for the throne among the nine princes and became the current emperor.

They thought that the two of them were in love with each other, and there were often news in the palace that Concubine Hua had been favored since entering the palace, so the Nian family also thought that the emperor still had some sincerity towards his family Shilan. Who would have thought that today they would accidentally see such an unbearable scene.

Thinking of this, Madam Nian didn't know how to comfort Shilan. In an ordinary family, it would be unbearable for a woman to be schemed against by her bedmate, let alone someone as proud as Shilan.

Madam Nian kept looking at Nian Shilan with a worried look, and Nian Shilan naturally felt it, and her heart softened. She said, "It's okay, sister-in-law, you just need to remember that I am the Empress Hua, who was personally appointed by the Emperor. I will definitely protect our Nian family."

Then he said, "Brother, please help me, sister-in-law, and let's hand over the military power. The lower the profile of our Nian family, the more at ease the emperor will be."

Madam Su nodded, "I understand."

Nian Shilan looked at her sister-in-law and said slowly, "If I want my brother to resign from the court, and Nian Fu and Nian Xing, one in literature and one in martial arts, both start from the bottom, would you agree?"

When Mrs. Nian heard what Nian Shilan said, she was very surprised and asked, "Is the situation so serious now? Nian Fu and Nian Xing are fine, they listen to me. But as for your brother, I really can't say for the time being that he will agree."

Nian Shilan heard her sister-in-law's concerns and comforted her, "It's not like I'm going to step down right away. I'm afraid the emperor will be suspicious if I'm in a hurry. I'm just preparing for a rainy day. Our Nian family is too powerful and holds military power. The emperor has to be on guard against us."

After hearing this, Madam Nian nodded thoughtfully, "What are your plans next, Madam?"

Nian Shilan said affirmatively: "Before leaving office, we must let the emperor know our Nian family's loyalty to him. I want to pay for my brother to go to the capital to provide porridge in the name of the emperor to help the poor people. At that time, I will also need my sister-in-law to find a few trustworthy people to publicize the emperor's benevolence among the people, so that everyone in the capital will love the emperor."

After hearing this, Madam Nian quickly assured, "Leave this to me, I will definitely take care of it for you. You don't have to pay for it. There are too many things you need to take care of in the palace. Your brother and I have the money, so you don't have to worry about money."

Nian Shilan smiled and said to Madam Nian, "Sister-in-law, it's okay. The silver I have now is enough for our Nian family to spend a lifetime." After that, he went to his bedroom and took out the small box that contained the gold ingots.

When Madam Nian saw the small box that Nian Shilan opened and was filled with gold ingots and gold ingots, she opened her eyes wide and pointed at the box in disbelief, "Are these all yours?"

Although the Nian family was not short of gold, silver and jewelry, every time Nian Gengyao won a battle, the emperor's rewards flowed into the Nian Mansion like water, not to mention the extra rewards from the emperor during festivals. Even Mrs. Nian, who was used to seeing gold, silver and jewelry, was still surprised and unbelievable when she saw Nian Shilan's small box. Oh my God, where did Shilan get all this gold?

Nian Shilan smiled and nodded, "These are all gifts from the Emperor. Sister-in-law, take some back with you. If it's not enough, I have more here."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he stuffed the gold ingots into Madam Nian's hands, not allowing Madam Nian to refuse.
