Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 373 Nian Gengyao Returns to Beijing

Songzhi felt strange at the time and did not dare to go in rashly. Instead, she went around to the side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to observe.

"How dare you! Come and see what is written on the letter of greeting that Nian Gengyao received?!"

Songzhi heard the emperor's angry voice outside the door.

Nian Gengyao?! General Nian!

After hearing the emperor mention Nian Gengyao, Songzhi no longer dared to go in or leave.

The emperor threw the memorial in front of Zhang Tingyu, extremely angry!

"Sunset in the morning?"

Zhang Tingyu looked at the memorial and silently read out a sentence.

This is extremely disrespectful. It should have been "朝乾勤夕勤", but Nian Gengyao wrote it as "夕阳朝乾", which is extremely disrespectful!

I really don't know whether Nian Gengyao did this accidentally or intentionally to provoke the emperor's authority.

No wonder the emperor was so angry.

"The setting sun rises as the sun rises. What do you think of Nian Gengyao's disrespect?"

The emperor naturally wanted to put Nian Gengyao to death, but he could not say it himself. He had to get the advice of the censors.

It would be bad if it caused discussion in the previous dynasty. Moreover, Nian Gengyao was a meritorious minister and held military power. His followers were estimated to be more than he imagined.

It is better to be cautious and take a long-term view.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the general did this unintentionally."

Zhen Yuandao spoke up from the side: "I think that Nian Gengyao would not dare to disobey the emperor."

"Don't dare? How do you know he doesn't dare? Did he tell you in person?"

The emperor felt a little angry when he heard Zhen Yuandao say this. Although he was not angry, his tone was sarcastic.

"Wei Chen dare not."

Zhen Yuandao was so scared that he immediately knelt down.

"Don't dare? Why don't you dare? Are you asking for mercy for Nian Gengyao?"

The emperor thinks so, and not only the emperor, but also E Min thinks so.

But after hearing this, Zhen Yuandao wanted to defend himself even more: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I dare not do it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think that Lord Zhen has absolutely no such intention."

E Min also echoed from the side.

He is helping Zhen Yuandao now, but who knows if he will stab him in the back in the future.

However, the emperor can't care so much now, but Zhen Yuandao said that he must also pay attention.

The most urgent task is to deal with Nian Gengyao first.

Songzhi was listening to the noise inside at the door and naturally knew that she couldn't go in.

This matter is urgent, so she should go back and tell Concubine Hua that General Nian will be back tomorrow. However, Songzhi knows in her heart that it is not certain what is waiting for him.

"My lady, my lady."

Song Zhi hadn't come in yet, but the voice came over first, sounding so urgent.

"what happened?"

When Nian Shilan saw Songzhi holding the basket of crab meat cakes in her hand, she knew that Songzhi must not have entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

But I still don’t know what’s going on.

"Mother, it's not good."

After hearing Songzhi say this, Nian Shilan quickly sent everyone in the room out and only kept her personal servants.

"Tell me what's going on."

In fact, Nian Shilan probably guessed that this matter was most likely related to her brother.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is furious because he received a letter from General Nian asking for respect. He wrote "Dawn at dawn and evening at dusk" instead of "Sunset at dawn and evening at dusk"!"

Songzhi's face was full of worry as she spoke, and Nian Shilan felt as if her heart had collapsed.

I clearly told my brother before that he should be honest, restrained and not be careless, so why is he still so confused?

But after this incident, I'm afraid the emperor must be very angry.

"Did the emperor say anything? Did he send anyone to arrest my brother?"

Nian Shilan thought that if the emperor really wanted to do something, he would definitely do it in the middle of the night.

However, Nian Shilan couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking. Didn't she discuss with her son a few days ago about what reward to give to her brother when he returned?

But on second thought, this man is the emperor. He knows intrigue and manipulating people's hearts very well.

Perhaps, he said that just to reassure himself.

But before Nian Shilan could come up with any solution, the night passed quickly.

The next morning, the emperor arrived at Yikun Palace early.

Nian Shilan also paid attention. The emperor was still as nice to her as before and there was no sign of anything wrong.

"Come on, your brother will be back soon, let's go together."

The emperor said this with a smile, but Nian Shilan couldn't smile.

She followed the emperor and along the way, Nian Shilan was always paying attention to the emperor's emotions.

I can only say that he is really good at pretending. I can't see any difference at all, as if everything is calm and peaceful.

But Nian Shilan knew that it was often this kind of calmness that made people feel the most suffocated.

Soon, the emperor brought Nian Shilan to the outside of Xuanwu Gate, and saw his brother's heroic figure riding on a horse.

This was the first time I had seen my brother appear so high and mighty, as if he had returned in triumph.

"Your Highness, I, Nian Gengyao, pay my respects to you."

Nian Gengyao dismounted from his horse, walked before the emperor and bowed.

Nian Shilan noticed that although the emperor didn't say anything, there were many changes on his face.

I patted my brother on the shoulder, said "good job" and went in.

Nian Shilan followed behind and walked quite far away, but she also paid attention to what the civil and military officials outside the door were saying.

"Why didn't Nian Gengyao kneel down when he saw the emperor?"

"What do you know? His sister is the current emperor's favorite concubine, Consort Hua."

"Besides, Nian Gengyao always comes back victorious from battle, so the emperor must treat him well."

Nian Shilan was unhappy when she heard this. If the emperor heard these words, it would undoubtedly cost her brother's life.

"Zhou Ninghai." Nian Shilan called out and looked back.

"It's time for those people to know what they should and shouldn't say."

How could Zhou Ninghai not understand what Nian Shilan meant, so he immediately did it. If he offended Nian Shilan, Zhou Ninghai would be even more unhappy.

After a while, Nian Shilan could no longer hear the noisy voices.

The ceremony to welcome Nian Gengyao was very grand, and the entire palace knew about it.

It could be heard from Suiyuxuan, Jingren Palace, and even the Empress Dowager’s Shoukang Palace.

"I heard that today is the day when General Nian returns to the capital. We have to go to Yikun Palace to congratulate Concubine Hua."

What Zhen Huan wants now is to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to Nian Shilan, and also to make plans for regaining her favor in the future.

But what Zhen Huan didn't know was that her father was involved in the investigation of Nian Gengyao.

It would be fine if Nian Gengyao was fine, but if something really happened, would Nian Shilan let her off easily?
