Dressed as Su Peisheng

In the bedroom

Eunuch Su was still humming, and Master Yongzheng carefully held an ice pillow to ice his wound.

"When Dingqi comes, ask him to prescribe some painkillers for you, and you won't feel uncomfortable after taking it."

Su Wei snorted angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "That year Gengyao was too outrageous, he didn't know how to restrain himself even after he arrived in the capital!"

"Nian Gengyao is already very proud, but now that he has made great achievements, he is even more arrogant."

Lord Yongzheng's voice was emotionless, but Su Wei knew that this was often the time when he was most angry.

"If he is just a little arrogant, I can tolerate it. But he accepts bribes! How much work have I put in to clear up the bureaucracy? Other people accept bribes carefully, and they can't hide what they hide. He is fine. I rely heavily on him, openly accept bribes to recommend officials, cultivate confidantes for myself, and form cliques for personal gain!"

Su Wei twisted his face, turned around, looked at Master Yongzheng and said, "But he has indeed made meritorious service, and he is also very prestigious at the border. If you want to move him, I'm afraid it will not be so easy."

"He will give me a chance." Master Yongzheng raised his hand and tested the temperature of Su Wei's forehead. "As for the border gate, I plan to let Yunyu go to the town. With him and Yue Zhongqi, the border will not be messed up."

The next day, Royal Garden

Ling Xi helped the imperial concubine to take a walk in the imperial garden again. The sun is a little bit bright today, but the weather is not too hot.

The imperial concubine fanned her hand all the way, and her head was slightly perspired as she walked.

"The imperial doctor also said that the empress should move around more," Ling Xi carefully supported the imperial concubine and said, "The second master should have arrived in Beijing yesterday, and he will enter the palace today to greet you. Long live may not let the empress take care of her heart Where is the temple?"

"People in the harem can't get involved in government affairs, how can I just go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Concubine Nian breathed a sigh of relief, "I only hope that my second brother can remember his duty as a monarch and a minister, and don't lose his dignity in front of the imperial court."

"Hey, have you heard?" A voice suddenly came from among the messy flowers.

Concubine Nian heard the words and looked over there.

"General Nian was fined to think behind closed doors, and Lord Long Live is getting angry today!"

The imperial concubine suddenly became dizzy, and Ling Xi hurriedly helped her steady.

"How could it be? Didn't General Nian return to Beijing after making great contributions?"

"Long live God is talking about General Nian taking credit for himself. It is said that before General Nian entered Beijing, his slaves galloped on the streets of downtown in order to announce the news, and almost ran into someone! As a result, General Nian When I entered the palace today, I actually planned to protect those servants, which angered the Long Live Lord..."

The imperial concubine felt depressed and blocked her chest, unable to stand any longer.

"Niangniang! Niangniang!"

Ling Xi panicked, and didn't even care about asking someone to catch the person behind the flowers, so she hurriedly asked the servants of Yikun Palace to bring the sedan chair and send the Nian noble concubine back to the palace.

Concubine Nian's body hadn't fully recovered, she was shocked again, and developed a fever that afternoon.

The imperial physician entered the palace urgently, took medicine and acupuncture again, and finally managed to subside the fever in the evening.

Ling Xi's anxious eyes were red, and she knelt beside the imperial concubine's bed, wanting to cry.

The imperial concubine woke up drowsily, and the first question was Nian Gengyao.

"Don't worry, ma'am, the second master was just punished to contemplate behind closed doors, it's not a big deal."

Ling Xi held Concubine Nian's hand and comforted him, "The emperor came to see you just now, and personally told the imperial physician to take good care of you. Don't worry about Nian's family, the second master knows the seriousness himself."

"If he knew the seriousness, there would be no such thing."

The imperial concubine opened her eyes in confusion, and looked at the top of the bed curtain, "I know the emperor, he has never been a person who treats lightly. The second brother is ambitious, and has long been blinded by desire. But the emperor is not the one who just came to the throne. , the emperor whose footing is unstable."

At the end of July, the cabinet sent the memorials to impeach Nian Gengyao for his meritorious deeds, forming a party for personal gain, accepting bribes, and suppressing dissidents.

At the beginning of August, Yue Zhongqi, the admiral of Sichuan, sent someone to send evidence of Jiubeizi Yunzhen, who tried to link up with Linghu Shiyi, the bandit leader in Shanxi, and rebelled.

Before Jiu Beizi, General Nian had been in charge of him.

In the court hall, the voices of disposing of Nian Gengyao began to rage.

Many of them were people who Nian Gengyao had wooed or even helped.

However, Long Live God has never made it clear how to deal with it, and still just let General Nian close his house and think about his mistakes.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Nian's illness became more and more serious, and Ling Xi dared not tell her about the previous court.

But as smart as she is, she can always guess one or two.

"The more you refuse to say it, the palace will know that things will get worse."

"Your Majesty, you have to think about your own body."

Ling Xi held back her tears and scrubbed the concubine's gradually swollen hands.

On this day, the imperial physician came to examine the imperial concubine's pulse.

Seeing that there were mosquitoes in the house, Ling Xi went out and told the little maid to go to the warehouse to get a purse to repel mosquitoes.

Concubine Nian was sick and drowsy, vaguely saw the figure in front of the bed, and stretched out her hand to look at her tongue coating.

"Oh, my mother's life is not long..."

There was no one else in the room, and Concubine Nian's body fell into an ice cellar.

"It's a pity that the Nian family was getting more and more prosperous, but now it has come to this end. Right now, General Nian's domineering has already caused dissatisfaction in the court. In the cabinet..."

When Ling Xi came in from the door, the imperial doctor had already checked the pulse. The imperial concubine closed her eyes tightly and lay stiffly on the bed.

August [-]th, Imperial Garden

After a heavy rain, taking advantage of the cool weather, Shiyue took Xu'er for a walk in the garden.

"Oh, from what Rongyue said, I'm afraid the imperial concubine is not well."

Rao and Nian's friendship is not deep, but after all these years together in the same house, Shiyue always feels uncomfortable.

"Since the incident two years ago, the concubine's body has always been sick every three days and painful every two days. It's really not easy to survive until now." Xu'er also sighed.

Maybe because it just rained, the sky was still a little dark.The gravel road was a little slippery, so Xu'er helped Shiyue walk carefully.

Behind the rockery not far away, there was a rustling sound, as if someone was talking in a low voice.

Shiyue was about to go over there to have a look, when a short huh came from another path.

"Who's sneaking around there?"

"It seems to be Hongpan?" Shiyue was very familiar with this voice, and rushed over in a hurry.

Going around a piece of rock, I saw Hongpan going to the back of the rockery.

A little bit of soil fell on Shiyue's face, and Shiyue raised her head in surprise, only to see a piece of loose Taihu Lake stone slowly sloping down!

"Hongpan!"

Not caring about calling others, Shiyue subconsciously rushed towards Hongpan.

It rained on the cobblestone road, which was already very slippery, and Shiyue was wearing a flower pot bottom, and when she threw herself on Hongpan, her feet wobbled.

"Miss!"

The sound of rocks rolling down suddenly amplified at that moment, Shiyue could only subconsciously hug Hongpan's head and protect him under her body.

With a "bang", Shiyue's whole body tensed up.However, the expected pain did not come.

"Doctor Cheng..."

The servants on both sides rushed over in a hurry, Shiyue raised her head, and saw Cheng Bin with his arms outstretched, protecting her and Hongpan like a giant.

"Cheng Bin?"

Shiyue was still in a daze, Cheng Bin smiled at her, and a bright red trickled down her forehead.

Yanxi Palace

Shiyue sat on the bedside, and Ding Qi took her pulse.

Concubine Xi was sitting by the side, stretching out her hand from time to time to twist Hongpan's body with red eyes.

"How many times have I told you? Don't be rash, don't be impulsive! You've been ignored, haven't you?"

Hong Pan didn't say a word, just stared at Concubine Ning on the bed without blinking.

"Don't blame the child, how can he think so much?"

Shiyue turned her head and smiled at Hongpan, "Ms. Ning is fine, she just got a little frightened and sprained her ankle, she will be fine after two days of care. Go back to elder brother's place quickly, don't listen here Your mother-in-law is nagging."

"no!"

Concubine Xi's complexion changed, and she said resolutely, "Go up and kneel outside! If you don't give you a little memory today, you won't know where you are wrong!"

"What are you doing?"

Shiyue still wanted to stop her, but Hongpan over there had already saluted with sobs, and went to kneel outside by herself.

Ding Qi took the pulse, stood up and said, "Your Majesty is fine, you just need to rest for a while. Wei Chen prescribed some calming medicine for your Majesty, remember to take them on time."

Shiyue nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly asked, "How is Doctor Cheng? Is the injury on his head serious?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just a slight hematoma, and you may have to stay in bed for a while."

What Ding Qi said was not serious, but Shiyue's heart was full of ups and downs.

Royal Garden

Su Wei walked around the rockery where the stone fell several times, and the eunuchs in charge of the imperial garden knelt down.

"It's also strange that such a big mountain has loosened such a stone."

"Back to Grandpa Su," the leading eunuch cried and said, "it's been raining heavily for the past few days, so it's normal for the stones on the rockery to loosen. But logically speaking, the stones have wrong textures, let alone fall. It's hard to shake. Unless—"

"Unless someone pushed it down on purpose." After the eunuch finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head.

"Brother Hongpan said that there were people behind the rockery at that time. He said something like 'Well done, the master will reward you'. Brother Hongpan felt something was wrong when he heard it, so he rushed over to look. I think the people behind were afraid After being discovered, he pushed down the rocks on the rockery, and sneaked away when the crowd was in a panic." Zhang Qilin analyzed from the side.

"master……"

With his hands behind his back, Su Wei looked at the shocking traces on the rockery, and sighed in his heart, "How many people can be called masters in the Forbidden City..."

August 28

The imperial concubine was on her deathbed, and the Lord Long Live sat by her bedside, spending the last time with her.

Ling Xi, who had no more tears to shed, blessed the two of them and exited the door.

Concubine Nian's illness was at an advanced stage, her whole body was swollen, her fingers were green like green onions, and she couldn't even put on her armor.

When Xu Shi came back to the light, Nian raised his hand to touch his face, and forced a smile at the person beside the bed, "Isn't this concubine ugly?"

Master Yongzheng shook his head, his voice was very soft, "Mu Yun is still the same as when he first entered the mansion."

"Long live Lord, do you still remember the appearance of the concubine?"

Nian's eyes blurred for a moment, and then he smiled again, "But, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, you will never be able to enter the heart of Long Live Lord."

Lord Yongzheng lowered his eyes slightly, but did not answer.

Nian looked blankly at the top of the bed tent, and his voice seemed to come from the void, "If, the concubine could have come to the Lord's side earlier... If, the concubine was not the daughter of the Nian family..."

Nian turned his head, his voice seemed to have strength again, "I will never lose to Su Peisheng, I will definitely win the heart of the Lord..."

"I don't want you to be involved in the matter of the Nian family." Master Yongzheng raised his head, his tone was silent.

Nian showed a wry smile, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, "But, after all, I am a member of the Nian family. My parents gave birth to me, and my brothers loved me, how can I ignore them?"

Lord Yongzheng sighed, but did not speak.

Nian struggled and grabbed Lord Yongzheng's hand, "The concubine is about to die, so I can only be cheeky, please this time. Just for my father's sake, for the sake of my concubine's affection, give Let my brother stay alive."

Lord Yongzheng stared fixedly at the tearful Nian, who held his hand stubbornly.

"I know that Long Live Lord holds the universe in his hands and is only waiting for my brother to walk to the edge of the cliff step by step. But, you also valued him at the beginning. You should appreciate a little credit he has made, and put it away Let him stop. Give the Nian family a chance."

Concubine Nian's last tear fell on the pillow, and the hand that pinched Lord Yongzheng became more and more forceful, until it gradually loosened.

The red candle near the window, which was about to burn out, burst out a tiny spark, then trembled slightly, and went away with the wind.

On the night of August 28, Concubine Nian passed away.

Emperor Yongzheng decreed that the noble concubine of the Jin Dynasty should be the imperial concubine, with the posthumous title of Dunsu.

In mid-September, Zhuo Zishan rebelled, but Nian Gengyao asked for leave from illness, assuming a chilled and aggrieved posture.

Helpless, Lord Yongzheng didn't follow his example. Since he was sick and asked to rest, he withdrew his seal of General Fuyuan and handed it over to Prince Xun, ordering him to lead the army to suppress the rebellion together with Sichuan Admiral Yue Zhongqi.

Nian Gengyao was evacuated in Beijing, and before he could react, Lord Yongzheng had begun to wantonly replace officials in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Hu Qiheng, governor of Gansu, was dismissed, and Natai was transferred back to Beijing.Officials at home and abroad acted on hearing the news and began to expose Nian Gengyao's crimes wantonly.

But at this time, Lord Yongzheng publicly paid homage to the imperial concubine, and for a while, the government and the public were not sure about the meaning of Lord Long Live.The movement of mass exposure immediately slowed down a lot.

The charges were submitted to Beijing, and Nian Gengyao was finally locked up for interrogation, but because of his merits, Yongzheng did not impose the death penalty on him.

Nian Gengyao was confiscated and reduced to a common man, and handed over to his father Nian Xialing.His brother Nian Xiyao was demoted to a remote place. Nian Gengyao's staff and slaves were imprisoned one after another, and his family property was confiscated to fill the vacancy in local taxation and silver. The people rejoiced.

September 25, Yanxi Palace

Shiyue sat on the couch and heard Xu'er report that "the doctor Cheng is here." After waiting for a long time, she saw Cheng Bin slowly enter the door.

"My humble servant pays his respects to the empress."

"Get up quickly, are your injuries healed? Why haven't I seen you for so long? I asked your master, your master always said that your injury is not serious, but my heart is always up and down."

Shi Yue said a long list, but Cheng Bin just looked at him silently.

"what happened to you?"

Shiyue felt something was wrong, and asked again, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Cheng Bin pursed the corners of his lips, lowered his head slightly and said, "I came to the palace today to bid farewell to the empress."

Shiyue didn't react for a while, and stood there in a daze.

"I have been thinking a lot for a while. I was born as a commoner. I was admitted to the imperial hospital. I was lucky enough to be accepted by the master as an apprentice. I have learned a lot of medical skills, but I haven't had time to return to the village. Although the court is good, there is not much room for it. Years ago, I heard from colleagues who came to Beijing that there were many floods and epidemics in the south, and the people were displaced. Never made a decision."

"Then, have you made a decision now?" Shiyue's face turned pale, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes," Cheng Bin nodded emphatically, "I wanted to protect you for the rest of my life. However, I am a doctor and I need to protect more people. However, if you need me one day, just send me a message Master, no matter how far away I am, I will definitely come back!"

Shiyue's heart was empty for a moment, and tears rolled down her face, "Your injury, is your injury healed?"

Cheng Bin took off his hat, and there was a red scar on his forehead, "It's all gone. But I will remember it, and I will always remember it..."

Cheng Bin saluted Shiyue again, put on his hat, and turned to leave.

"If I say—"

Shiyue suddenly opened her mouth, and Cheng Bin paused.

"I want to go with you," Shiyue's voice trembled slightly, "Are you still willing?"

At the end of September, Concubine Ning suddenly fell ill.

Concubine Xi and Hong Pan ran to Yanxi Palace day by day, but seeing the person on the bed, their faces became paler and paler.

On this day, the imperial physician standing by the bed finally couldn't help Concubine Xi's questioning, sighed and shook his head.

At night, Concubine Xi didn't go back to her palace, but stayed by Concubine Ning's bed.

"You have to comfort and comfort Hongpan."

Concubine Ning held Concubine Xi's hand, her expression was very calm, "My illness has accumulated over the years, and it has nothing to do with him."

Concubine Xi nodded while shedding tears.

Concubine Ning smiled at her, "You have always been straight-tempered, but you are actually the smartest. Lord Long Live has his own opinions in everything. As long as Hongpan is a good boy, he will have a good future in the future."

"I know, I know everything," Concubine Xi opened her mouth, tears couldn't stop falling again.

"Don't quarrel with the queen, don't fight for what you have." Concubine Ning's voice became weaker, but there was always a smile on her lips, "Wherever I go, I will pray for you and Hongpan. , must be the happiest.”

"Yes," Concubine Xi held Ning Bin's hand instead, and said hoarsely, "Sister, you are tired, rest, I will watch over you."

"Mm," Ning Bin curled the corners of her mouth and slowly closed her eyes.

On September [-], Concubine Ning died in Yanxi Palace.

Emperor Yongzheng decreed that concubine Ning should be named after him, and the funeral ceremony should be the same as that of concubine.

On the tenth day of October, on a remote path in the suburbs of Beijing

Su Wei waited for a while, and a small car with gray tarpaulin slowly drove over.

It was the former imperial physician Cheng Bin who was driving the car. Cheng Bin jumped off the girder and saluted Su Wei, "Thanks to Mr. Su this time. Thank you Cheng Bin."

"No, this is what I should do." Su Wei replied.

While talking, the car door was pushed open, and Shiyue, dressed as an ordinary woman, smiled at Su Wei.

"You guys chat first, I'll fetch some water."

Cheng Bin helped Shiyue get out of the carriage, and walked away with an excuse.

"No longer wearing palace clothes, it seems that the whole person is much more relaxed."

Shiyue carried a basket, and walked briskly to Su Wei, "We need to go back to Cheng Bin's hometown first, and then go to Jiangnan to find a place to open a medical clinic."

"Is the money enough?" Su Wei was most concerned about this.

"It's enough. The man in the palace rewarded Cheng Bin a lot, and you gave me more personal money. It's enough to open ten medical clinics."

Shiyue's eyes were bright, and she specially shook her bulging purse for Su Wei.

"You, have you figured it all out?" Su Wei hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"Of course," Shiyue nodded, "Don't think that I wanted to marry him because I was grateful to him. It was his simplicity, sincerity, and kindness that moved me bit by bit. I don't even know when, I began to look forward to seeing him, and slowly surpassed looking forward to seeing you."

"I didn't have anything to see at first," Su Wei smiled sheepishly.

"I'm really glad you chose this path yourself."

"Thank you," Shiyue suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at him steadily, "I am very lucky to meet you in this life. I have never regretted every decision I have made. It is precisely You, let every decision of mine have the best result."

Su Wei pursed his lips slightly, and suppressed the sourness on the bridge of his nose, "In the future, we must be good."

"You too."

Shiyue wiped the corners of her eyes, lowered her head, took out a yellow persimmon from the basket, and stuffed it into Su Wei's hand.

"I wish you: the rest of your life, everything goes well."

The author has something to say: I didn't make Nian Gengyao miserable, because this article didn't force Siye to the point where he could only rely on Nian Gengyao and Longkodo. They went to the field where they had to die, and of course they were also concerned about the face of the concubine Nian and Nian Xialing.

I once wanted to portray Nian Gengyao and Longkodo in detail, but after the fourth master grew up and Xiao Suzi changed him, I found it unnecessary to portray them.And I don't want fourth master to have the reputation of being a good bow.
