Qian Amei also answered with a wink: "Yes, you should have been dragged to the prison for interrogation as soon as you woke up. Your Majesty specially begged for your favor and asked Mr. Tingwei to come to the Tai Hospital for questioning. How old is this? What a kindness!”

After hearing these words, Mrs. Yang's expression improved, but her eyes were still empty: "If your empress is so kind, she will definitely be kind to my Huan'er, right?"

"Of course!" Shen Yingxia and Qian Amei replied in unison.

Under Qian Amei's comfort, Mrs. Qian fell asleep again in a daze. But she slept very uneasily and kept mumbling the name "Huan'er".

Shen Yingxia exited the room and remembered what Mrs. Yang had accidentally said: her guess was ninety-nine times correct.

Although the Emperor did not plan with the Queen in advance, after these years of getting along, they had already developed a tacit understanding.

Shen Yingxia stood at the entrance of Taiyuan Hospital and looked into the distance. Apart from the cloudless blue sky above her head, all she could see were towering palace walls.

These palace walls surrounded the originally open land into small squares. Everyone in the palace is framed in it, and the area where they can move is just a few small squares.

The same is true for servants and maids, and the same is true for princes and concubines.

When she returned to Changqiu Palace, the queen was waiting for her in the palace where she was temporarily staying.

"Have you seen Mrs. Yang?" the queen asked calmly.

"Hui Niang, yes."

"How is she?"

"Mrs. Yang is indeed deficient in energy and blood, and she looks very haggard. It is indeed not a sign of longevity..."

The Queen then said: "Do you feel lonely and cruel?"

"Yingxia doesn't dare. Yingxia knows that the empress just wants to survive with your highness." "Yes." The empress said this in a hurry and left.

However, Shen Yingxia knew that the empress was not a treacherous person. Although she had done cruel things out of helplessness, she still felt sad about that in her heart.

Early the next morning, a female official came to report that Nie Fengchang's legitimate daughter Nie Zhinan had come to the palace to see the empress, and she also brought a large embroidery of "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".

"Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is more than forty feet long. According to Shen Yingxia's estimation, it would not be possible to complete it without a year's work.

But ordinary people can't afford it, and powerful people don't dare to buy it. Therefore, the demand for this thing is low, so it can only be prepared by the Nie family early on.

All of a sudden, multiple thoughts came to mind. Shen Yingxia recalled that when they met at the city gate, although Nie Zhinan was standing next to Liu Yuer, he did not add insult to injury or do anything hurtful.

Shen Yingxia knew that if she met Nie Zhinan, she would not be able to escape the Queen's ears and eyes, so she simply did not hide it: "When Madam Nie bids farewell later, tell me to find a quiet place. I have something to say to her."

"Here." The female officer bowed out respectfully.

After a cup of tea, the female officer brought Shen Yingxia a red velvet cloak: "My dear, it's cold outside!"

"Hey, thank you so much, aunt. Please lead the way." Shen Yingxia tied up the laces of her cloak and walked out slowly.

Nie Zhinan is tall and thin, wearing a well-made silver-gray jacket. A girl this age should wear more pretty colors.

It was probably because the matters discussed in the palace today were very heavy, so she changed into such a plain dress.

However, her facial features are light and charming, and her eyebrows are as thin as curved hooks, which adds a bit of coldness to her.
