Chapter 74 is an opportunity
Su Peisheng obeyed the order, stepped forward, lowered his body, squatted in front of Xiao Changzi, and pulled the cloth out of his mouth.

But before he could ask him anything, he saw blood oozing from the corner of Xiao Changzi's mouth.

Su Peisheng was shocked, thinking that Xiao Changzi had committed suicide by taking poison. He hurriedly pried open his mouth, and Xiao Changzi spat out a piece of bloody meat. Upon careful identification, he found it was a piece of tongue.

Nian Shilan was feeling upset. No matter where she went, there were people who wanted to make things difficult for her.

No, it should be why every time I go out with Yinzhen, I see blood.

Because many things have changed in this life, the people who should have passed away are still alive, and the people who should have appeared have not appeared. Even Yinzhen's title of Prince Yong was brought forward many years. Now what is going on? Nian Shilan is not sure.

But since we have decided to take this path, we will just deal with it as it comes.

Yinzhen was also tired of this kind of thing, and there was really not a single peaceful day recently.

Concubine De, who was supposed to stay in Linxi Pavilion waiting to perform the Qiqiao ceremony with the Queen and others, returned to her own palace.

She looked at Xiao Changzi, who was trembling in pain on the ground, and spoke in surprise.

"Aren't you the one who works for Concubine Yi? How come you are acting like this in front of me?"

The wrinkles between Yinzhen's brows became deeper. The person next to Concubine Yi must be... the ninth prince Yinzhen.

What does he want to do? Hasn't he always been close to Lao Ba? Could it be that he also has his eyes on the throne?

Nian Shilan understood when she heard it. Based on her understanding of Concubine Yi in her previous life, she would not use such despicable means to coax her out. It was still unknown who this little Changzi belonged to in private.

Now that he has been caught, he might as well cut off his tongue, so that everyone will firmly believe that it is Concubine Yi.

"Master, I have something to say to you."

Nian Shilan said to Yinzhen.

"Ms. Nian, let the Fourth Master make the decision on this matter. You are a woman, so don't get involved."

Defei stood aside and felt unhappy when she saw Nian Shilan ignoring her.

I don’t know what’s going on. This is the first time I’ve met this Nian family, but I just feel uncomfortable.

When Nian Shilan heard what Concubine De said, she turned around and bowed to her.

"Please forgive me, Empress Defei. Today's incident was caused by me. I'm sure you want to harm me. Although I'm a woman, I never think I'm inferior to men. When I was at home, I often rode with my brothers and listened to them talk about history and national policy. Since the incident was caused by me, I naturally have room to speak."

"Sister Nian is too presumptuous. Mother is also doing this for the good of our palace. I'm afraid you and I can't fully understand the pros and cons of this."

Ulanara spoke slowly.

Nian Shilan sneered in her heart, you two have such a deep affection between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In her previous life, Nian Shilan also truly loved Yinzhen's biological mother, Uya, from the bottom of her heart. She loved Yinzhen deeply at that time, so naturally she loved Yinzhen as well. She knew that Uya was the pain in Yinzhen's heart whom he wanted to get close to but couldn't, so she tried every way to please her.

It’s a pity that she is just a flag and has never been a junior in Uya’s heart.

Now, Nian Shilan only wants to settle accounts with all those who had plotted against her in the previous life, so there is no need to be so humble and try to please them anymore.

Nian Shilan looked at Ulanara with a smile.

"I am a vulgar woman, and I cannot see the pros and cons of this. I only know that I was almost harmed by the bad guys. I would like to ask you, Madam, how can I turn a blind eye to it? Hmm?"

Defei wanted to speak, but Yinzhen interrupted her.

"This incident happened in my mother's palace today, which inevitably brought bad luck. I will take the eunuch away and ask someone to fetch water to wash the courtyard for my mother. I will take my leave first with my wife and concubine."

After saying this, he signaled Su Peisheng to drag Xiao Changzi away, and he strode out of the gate of Yonghe Palace on his own.

Ulanara and Nian Shilan bowed to Concubine De and left. For a moment, only Concubine De was left in Yonghe Palace, along with a courtyard of her servants.

Concubine De was in a trance, and her son refused to get close to her.

Yinzhen was walking on the palace road. At this time, the emperor had already returned to the Yangxin Palace. If he did not bring this servant to see the emperor, so many people on the palace road would see this servant covered in blood.

If we bring him to meet the emperor, the emperor will probably raise him high and then let him down gently in order to balance the power of the various palaces and gardens.

Nian Shilan followed behind Yinzhen and Ulanara, and suddenly spoke softly.

"Master, why don't you and I take this servant to see the emperor?"

Yinzhen thought about it and said.

"I will go see the Emperor myself. You and your wife can go back to the palace first."

Nian Shilan was riding in the same carriage with Ulanara. She was very tired, so she leaned against the wall and didn't want to speak.

It was Ulanara who spoke first.

"Nian, tell me, what sin have you committed? Why is it that every time you go out with the master, things don't go smoothly?"

When Nian Shilan heard her calling her Nian, she thought that she was being hypocritical and calling her sister "older sister" instead of "sister", but Nian Shilan was too lazy to pay attention to her.

There is no one here, so Nian Shilan doesn't need to be so respectful anymore.

Yinzhen was kneeling in the Yangxin Palace, and the emperor was sitting on the couch.

"You mean, someone sent someone close to Concubine Yi to trick your concubine out of the house in your name?"

Yinzhen kowtowed first before speaking.

"Your Majesty, you are wise. I was shocked when I first heard this. Nian rarely went out when she was at home, and she never made enemies with anyone. When she entered my mansion, she only followed me in and out. But today, this servant deceived Nian, and he must have been targeting me. I just don't know what his purpose is."

The emperor hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"You should get up first. Lock up this servant. I will ask Concubine Yi first before making any plans."

Yinzhen didn't get up, he just knelt.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so talkative. I think that Concubine Yi would not have any thoughts about my concubine. This servant must have been bribed to frame Concubine Yi. It's a pity that he has bitten off his tongue, so I guess I can't get anything out of him."

The emperor stared at Yinzhen.

"Tell me, what should I do? You came here with such fanfare, yet you said that Concubine Yi had nothing to do with this matter. What do you want me to do?"

Yinzhen looked up and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Father, I have been raised by the Imperial Concubine since I was born, and have never been close to my biological mother. The number of times I pay my respects to you during the day is limited, and I have never had the opportunity to fulfill my filial duties at your side. Recently, my son was murdered, and I feel very sad. I beg you to show mercy and reward me with a few skilled guards, so that I can always feel your love!"

The emperor looked at Yinzhen's red eyes and his heart softened.

She had never spent any effort in cultivating this son, and all the care was taken by Concubine Tong Jia.

But they were just looking after each other, and they were not biological mother and son, so naturally they were not that close.

This son is not competitive and has always protected his legitimate son with Queen Hesheli. He is a staunch follower of the crown prince, so it is time to treat him better.

What's more, he has always wanted to know whether Yinzhen's feelings for the prince were true or false, and now is just the opportunity.
