The Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with Qianlong's behavior this time, but if such dissatisfaction could not be explained, the Empress Dowager would only become more angry.

As an emperor, doing whatever he wants is a big taboo. When it comes to matters concerning the harem, the empress dowager has almost never been so harsh in her words.

She came this time because such behavior was really forcing Nara to die. Although many Manchu women remarried after being widowed, who would dare to marry a woman who was divorced by the emperor?

Nara is now in her twenties, less than thirty years old, and she still has a long life ahead of her. If the emperor does this, Nara will only be able to accompany the green lamp and the ancient Buddha forever if she does not die.

She will live in the saliva of others for the next few decades.

Qianlong had no words to express his grievances. He looked at the Empress Dowager in silence and said, "Mother, I have my reasons. Please don't ask any more questions."

What should he say? He said that he dreamed of consummating his marriage with a woman named Nara who was dressed in her seventies or eighties. He said that in his dream he was like being cursed and had been in love with a crazy woman named Nara for decades.

It was said that he had been in cahoots with that Nala clan all his life, that he had an affair with that Nala clan, and that he had handled all the government affairs by sleeping with his concubines.

He didn't know what happened in the previous dynasty, but from the few words in his dream, he guessed that his way of governing the country was to sleep with the daughter of a minister of the previous dynasty.

Qianlong could not accept this at all. Compared with his consummation of marriage with Nara, this matter was simply an insult to him and a denial of his ability.

The Empress Dowager frowned and sighed deeply. She felt a little depressed and said, "Mother is talking too much."

It's her mother who cares too much. Now that she's old, she should just accept her age and stop asking questions that she shouldn't.

"As for Nara, you..." The Queen Mother stopped talking and said, "Forget it, do whatever you want, but since she has served you for more than ten years, you should give her a chance to live. Don't really let her die, change her name or whatever, just let her live."

Nara didn't commit any capital crime. If I had known this, I wouldn't have exposed Nara's mask. Now Nara has ended up like this.

Qianlong never really thought about killing Nara. He was not a bloodthirsty emperor. He nodded and supported the empress dowager. "Mother, I understand. I won't kill Nara. After some time, I will change her identity and send her to Jiangnan."

Anyway, in her dream, she grew up in Jiangnan.

The Empress Dowager patted Qianlong's hand and gave a forced smile, "I'll go back first."

"My son will give it to you." Qianlong said.

The Queen Mother shook her head. "You look tired. You haven't had enough rest these days, right? You should rest more. Take your time with government affairs. Don't stay up late."

After saying this, he took his palace maids and eunuchs out of Jiuzhou Qingyan. When leaving, he looked back.

The emperor finally became a complete emperor.

Qianlong had no idea what the Empress Dowager was thinking. He had been tormented by nightmares during this period and no longer had the energy to observe the details.

Qianlong slept soundly all night. He no longer had any dreams, and there was no trace of Nara.

When Qianlong woke up in the morning, he felt refreshed, and this lasted for seven or eight days.

Qianlong knew that his nightmare was really solved.

Five or six days later, Nara woke up from the nightmare that she had become the first concubine divorced by Emperor Qianlong. She didn't know what she had done wrong.

She clearly didn't do anything, but why?

Nara's mother also sighed, and everyone in the family looked at her with reproachful eyes.

No words were spoken, but from the looks in her eyes, it seemed that Nara was a recluse who would not go out.

After Qianlong solved his own problem, he remembered the culprit, Nara. He pulled Yu Suisui aside and talked about how to deal with Nara.

"Your Majesty is saying that Nara should die of illness, then fake her death and change her identity and send her to Jiangnan?" Yu Suisui stroked Qianlong's thoughts.

Qianlong nodded and said, "That's what I mean. When she lives in Jiangnan in the future, I will give her some money and a house, and her future will be secure." He had done his utmost, and this was all because the Empress Dowager came to plead for mercy.

Yu Suisui asked, "If Nara meets a new man in Jiangnan and wants to marry him, will the emperor stop her?"

Qianlong's expression froze, a little unnatural, "She was once my woman, how can..."

Yu Suisui interrupted him, "Your Majesty, according to what you said, Nara was raised by you as a concubine in Jiangnan." Nara was originally the emperor's concubine, and she was directly reduced to a concubine. It would be strange if Nara didn't hate Emperor Qianlong to death.

But now he should hate Qianlong to death.

Qianlong was silent. He knew that his ancestors had married their concubines to ministers, but Qianlong himself did not do that.

He could accept taking a widow as his concubine, but he could not accept his concubines marrying others.
