After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua in surprise.

"You've gone to so much trouble, and this is all you can say to me?"

Concubine Hua raised her head with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, this is my only request to the Emperor."

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua's red eyes and felt guilty.

He thought that Concubine Hua came to plead with him.

Whether it was because of the rule of the Aisin-Gioro family or out of various selfish motives, the emperor was determined that Nian Gengyao must die.

Even if Concubine Hua came to plead for mercy, nothing could be changed.

He didn't expect that Concubine Hua just came to ask for an intact body for Nian Gengyao and to transport the body back to his hometown for burial.

This is not excessive.

After all, when a person dies, it is like a light going out.

As soon as Nian Gengyao died, his followers would naturally scatter and no longer pose a threat.

"Nian Gengyao has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. I agree to your request! Get up quickly!"

The emperor said this as he personally helped Concubine Hua up.

After Hua Fei stood firmly, she gently pushed the emperor's hand away, took a step back, and knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty, I thank you!"

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua’s eyes which were getting redder and redder. He sighed and pulled her into his arms.

"Shilan, do you blame me?"

Concubine Hua shook her head.

"Your Majesty is a wise ruler. It was my brother who made a mistake out of ignorance."

"It's good that you understand my difficulties." The emperor gently stroked Hua Fei's hair.

He never noticed that Concubine Hua, who once had jet-black hair, now had hair.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. You cannot do whatever you want. I know that. Your Majesty has made an exception by agreeing to my request. I am grateful to Your Majesty!"

"Shilan, thank you for understanding me."

The emperor smiled with relief.

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Concubine Hua was walking on the way back to the Yikun Palace. She had been trying hard to hold back her tears, but finally she couldn't control it anymore and the tears burst out.

At this moment, a little palace maid somehow rushed over and bumped into Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Songzhi hurried to help Concubine Hua.

Fortunately, it happened in time and Concubine Hua did not fall to the ground.

Songzhi immediately glared at the palace maid and shouted at her.

"Don't you have eyes?!"

The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"Empress Hua, please spare my life! Empress Hua, please spare my life!"

"Get up." Concubine Hua raised her hand tiredly and asked the maid to get up.

Just as the maid was about to stand up, she was kicked to the ground with great force.

She looked up and saw that it was Songzhi.

Song Zhi said coldly: "What are you looking at!"

She was so angry that she raised her foot and kicked the palace maid down.

The palace maid didn't dare to say a word and could only kneel on the ground and cry.

Concubine Hua was tired, so she looked at Songzhi and said, "Help me go back."

"Yes." Songzhi gave the palace maid another sharp look before helping Concubine Hua leave.

After they walked away, Songzhi whispered, "Madam, the maid just now was from Jingren Palace."

Concubine Hua sneered, and the tears in her eyes disappeared at some point.

"The Queen can't wait to see me make a fool of myself, so I'll let her see it."

Songzhi sneered, "The Queen is taking advantage of someone's misfortune. That's really too much."

Hua Fei looked at the long palace road ahead and said calmly, "She has waited for this day for so long, so naturally she can't wait any longer."

The Forbidden City in late autumn has a desolate beauty under the embellishment of yellow ginkgo leaves.

The golden sunlight shines under the green tiles, emitting a dazzling light.

Concubine Hua suddenly felt that the Forbidden City was like a huge cage.

----

"I saw Concubine Hua in tears and lost her mind, and I was very sad."

The palace maid knelt on the ground and reported to the Queen how she had just bumped into Concubine Hua.

The queen felt happy after hearing this.

"It's only natural for Concubine Hua to be sad. After all..."

Seeing the palace maid kneeling on the ground, the queen stopped talking.

"You go down." She said to the maid.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid bowed her head and turned to leave.

Jianqiu was happy when she saw the smile on the queen's face that she could not hide.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The thorn in Concubine Hua's side has finally been removed."

The queen waved her hand and stopped smiling.

Because she suddenly thought of a problem. Nian Gengyao had indeed fallen, and Concubine Hua had indeed lost her support.

However, Hua Fei's title of Imperial Noble Consort was not abolished.

What does the emperor mean?

The more Yue thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

Jianqiu saw what the queen was thinking and comforted her,

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. In the past, Concubine Hua was domineering because she had Nian Gengyao's support. Now that she has lost her support, she only has an air of arrogance and power, and she is at your mercy!"

After hearing what Jianqiu said, the Queen agreed with it deeply.

In the past, when dealing with Concubine Hua, she always had many concerns.

On the one hand, it came from the powerful Nian Gengyao; on the other hand, it came from the emperor's favor for Concubine Hua.

The emperor could even kill Nian Gengyao, who had made great military achievements, so what could Concubine Hua do?

The Queen realized that Concubine Hua was no longer worth mentioning.

She was just waiting for the news of Nian Gengyao's death, and then she would deal with Concubine Hua!

----

Two days later, news of Nian Gengyao's death came from the Ministry of Justice.

Su Peisheng personally went to the prison to investigate the matter before allowing the officers to drag his body out of the prison.

The two young and wealthy brothers were dressed in coarse linen clothes and were waiting at the palace gate.

When they saw their father, covered with a tattered straw mat and placed on a shabby cart, they couldn't help but shed tears.

Nian Gengyao is dead, and all the official titles of the Nian and Fu brothers have been stripped away. They are now just common people.

After moving Nian Gengyao's body onto the ox cart, they left the city with red eyes.

After driving the ox cart for some distance, they all looked back at the majestic Forbidden City at the same time, with sadness and nostalgia in their eyes. Then, they turned around and set off again.

From now on, there will be no place for the Nian family in the prosperous capital.

Seeing him rising from a tall building, seeing his building collapsed.

The prosperous past is like a passing cloud.

After leaving the capital, they settled in a small town.

Considering that it was inconvenient to stay overnight with Nian Gengyao's body on the ox cart, they simply stayed in the charity cemetery and spent the night there.

Dusk falls and crows cry.

The two brothers slept back to back and fell into a drowsy sleep.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a slight cough.

Nian Fu opened his eyes first, looked at his younger brother Nian Xing in confusion, and found that he was sleeping soundly.

"Cough cough!"

The faint cough was heard again, and this time Nian Fu heard it clearly.

The coughing sound came from the ox cart.

But lying on the ox cart was my father’s body!

Thinking of this, Nian Fu got goose bumps all over his body.

He leaned Nian Xing against the pillar, drew his knife and walked towards the ox cart step by step.

Under the dim moonlight, a skinny human hand slowly raised up.

Nian Fu's blood froze instantly, and he raised his knife and said, "Get away from my father!"
