Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother..."

Ruyi also knew that Concubine Jing looked unhappy because of what she had just heard from the Queen Mother.

"It's okay, let's go."

Concubine Jing didn't say anything, but she must have been resentful towards the Queen Mother.

Concubine Jing has been officially crowned as a concubine, and the weather is gradually getting colder.

"Has Nian Gengyao done anything recently?"

The emperor was always busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty and never paid much attention to Nian Gengyao, who was kept in prison.

"Your Majesty, Nian Gengyao has been relatively well behaved recently, but..."

Su Peisheng was really hesitant to speak. Although he wanted to help the Nian family, he couldn't get along with the emperor after all.

"What's going on? What's Nian Gengyao up to?"

After hearing Su Peisheng's words, the emperor put down the memorial he was reading.

It seems that it is unnecessary for me to let him live a little longer.

"Your Majesty, Nian Gengyao has been behaving well recently, but he is still thinking about his military exploits. I have also heard that many ministers of the previous dynasty are pleading for Nian Gengyao."

What Su Peisheng said was true. Ever since Nian Gengyao was imprisoned, things were fine in the past few days, but recently, every time he went to court, there would always be people who would mention Nian Gengyao's previous military exploits and plead for him.

The emperor was really annoyed after hearing this. It would have been fine if Su Peisheng hadn't mentioned it, but now he has reminded himself that if he continues like this, if he doesn't take action against Nian Gengyao, I'm afraid the ministers will have objections in the future.

"Su Peisheng, immediately issue an order. I am thinking of Nian Gengyao's contributions to the country and want him to reflect on his mistakes in prison. Unfortunately, he refuses to change his ways despite repeated admonitions. I have ordered him to drink poisoned wine and execute him immediately!"

As he spoke, the emperor had already sentenced Nian Gengyao.

When this news reached Nian Shilan's ears, she was not surprised. She just didn't expect that this day would eventually come.

Execute immediately. I guess my brother is no longer around.

"My lord, don't be sad."

Looking at Nian Shilan's appearance, Songzhi didn't know what to say for a moment, but she really couldn't bear it.

Sad? Nian Shilan couldn't say a word now.

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing also hurried over.

When I arrived at Yiku Palace, I saw Nian Shilan sitting in the room, dejected.

"Shilan."

Concubine Duan came in and said, "Now that Nian Gengyao's matter has been resolved, you don't have to be too sad. After all, our lives still have to go on."

But now Nian Shilan couldn't listen to what Concubine Duan said, although she knew that what Concubine Duan said made sense.

But after all, he is his own brother. The emperor can easily find a pretext to accuse him!

In this life, I have already reminded my brother to be cautious.

"You all get out."

Nian Shilan turned and said to Songzhi.

When Songzhi saw Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing coming over, she knew that Nian Shilan must have something to say to them.

"Yes, Songzhi bowed and left with his people."

Concubine Duan didn't say anything, but looked at Nian Shilan with a questioning look on her face.

"Sister, do you think my brother is wrong?"

Nian Shilan absolutely did not believe what her brother said. It was obviously because the emperor was very suspicious.

"I know a little about what happened back then."

Concubine Duan said earnestly: "Before the emperor ascended the throne, Nian Gengyao had been helping the emperor with his work, and so did my father. I still know this."

"But our emperor, Shilan, you also know that as a king, it is natural for him to be suspicious. You and I are both from military families. Have you forgotten that you were pregnant?"

Concubine Duan's reminder was very obvious. She herself knew why Nian Huilan had a miscarriage. Of course, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager knew it even better.

The emperor can even kill his own child, let alone the brother of a concubine. What does that matter to him?

"Sister, what I mean is..."

There is no need to ask Nian Shilan.

Concubine Duan's meaning was very clear. She brought up this matter just to remind Nian Shilan.

The emperor always puts his own interests first. In fact, it doesn’t matter what crime Nian Gengyao committed or what his style of work was in the northwest. What matters is that the emperor wants him dead!

"Sister, can you help your sister?"

Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing and said, "My brother is gone now. I just want to ask you two sisters to help me find out whether my brother is really like what the emperor said, or... someone deliberately arranged it to be like this."

The emperor sent E Min and Zhen Yuandao to investigate my brother's affairs. I had heard from Zhao Zhiyuan before that E Min had sent spies to the northwest, but my brother's subordinates have always kept their mouths shut.

Moreover, before my brother went to the northwest, I often reminded him to be more restrained. My brother always listened to me. As long as I told him to do something, he would never forget it easily.

"this......"

Concubine Jing's words revealed hesitation: "This is the way it is now. What's the point of you asking about it, sister?"

It's not that Concubine Jing was unwilling to help her, but she thought that even if she found out the result, what would it matter? She could no longer help Nian Gengyao clear his name.

It was impossible for the emperor to clear Nian Gengyao's name, but I could do it! If it was really the emperor who deliberately murdered my brother, I would never let him go.

"Sister, don't worry about this. Shilan has a solution."

Seeing how confident Nian Shilan was, Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing also agreed.

But Concubine Duan always felt that things were not that simple.

After a brief chat for a while, Concubine Duan asked Concubine Jing to go back first.

I felt something was not right when I saw Nian Shilan's condition just now. I wondered if she was unconscious because of Nian Gengyao's matter.

"Shilan, please don't do anything stupid."

Just now, Concubine Duan had already thought of all the possibilities.

Including Nian Shilan's assassination of the emperor! This is what I am most worried about!

Now that Nian Gengyao is dead, she has nothing to worry about anymore. No, there is still Hongli!

Instantly, Concubine Duan thought about how to comfort Nian Shilan: "Shilan, you still have Hongli! For his sake, you have to be well, understand?!"

Nian Shilan agreed verbally.

In fact, she knew that Concubine Duan's worries were completely unnecessary, and she hadn't intended to do anything to hurt herself.

Moreover, Hongli was just a chess piece for him to reach the pinnacle of power.

Nian Shilan knew that Hongli had great ambitions, perhaps because he lost his mother at a young age.

But now it’s better. I can give him enough maternal love and let him play without having to think about his homework all the time. This way it’s easier for me to control it.
