Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 84: Nian Shilan's Fate Changes (5)

Time passed slowly. After the efforts of Yinzhen and the Fourteenth Prince, their biological mother, Concubine Uyad, was finally released from house arrest. At this time, Nian Shilan was already seven months pregnant.

Congratulations to Concubine De, one of the four concubines, for being confined for the longest time, as none of the others received such treatment. This was a complete disgrace to Concubine De, and from then on, Emperor Kangxi would no longer consider summoning her to his bedchamber, let alone just to chat under the covers. It was even questionable whether she would even be willing to enter the Yonghe Palace.

At first, Concubine De thought someone was framing her. But nothing was found. Instead, she farted non-stop in the palace for a month, becoming exhausted and nearly killing everyone around her. Even now, she still farts from time to time.

As soon as Defei came out, she asked Yinzhen and the fourteenth prince to bring their wives in to pay their respects.

But this smell is really long-lasting, there is always a faint stench coming out, and Yinzhen and others can only endure it.

After finally inviting An and the other four to leave, Concubine De called out to Yinzhen and Yixiu. At this time, the Fourteenth Prince did not say anything to criticize Yinzhen, and was even quite grateful that the other party was left behind. He ran away so fast.

Yinzhen said with a bitter face: "Is there anything else, mother?"

"I heard that your wife Nian is seven months pregnant. What are your plans?"

"Mother, what are your plans? Just a safe birth."

Concubine De's face darkened and she said, "You are foolish! What can we do if Nian Gengyao's achievements are so great that they threaten the emperor? A few days ago, he even presented cowpox to the emperor to prevent smallpox. If Nian Shilan has a child one day, will you still be able to suppress Nian Gengyao? Will your position still be stable?"

Tsk, look at this, this is his status. If it wasn’t for Yinzhen who inherited the throne in the end, why would a prince like him have such an unstable status now?

Yinzhen fell silent. He had recently felt more and more that the Nian family was out of touch with everything. Even with the Eighth Prince, Nian Gengyao treated him like everyone else, not very close to him and keeping a low profile. He was still hoping that Nian Shilan's child would completely win Nian Gengyao over to his side. After all, the concubine's family had no support, and the other princesses were all mediocre.

"Mother, I need Nian Gengyao's support. A child is the best sincerity."

"Hmph, you're showing great sincerity by doting on her. Think carefully about this: Nian's child must not be born. Otherwise, if the Nian family threatens your position one day, what will you do? If you can't bear to do it, mother can ask someone to help you."

"Mother, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Yinzhen was uneasy and left with worry all the way.

The remaining Yixiu was left behind by Defei and said: "Let Nian's child be like this. This child is also unlucky. Find someone to deal with it. As long as it does not hurt Nian's body, it will be fine."

"Yes! Aunt, I wonder if you've chosen someone? It's just that this seven-month pregnancy is highly unlikely to survive. Aunt doesn't want to hurt Nian's body, so I'm afraid she'll have to give birth in the end." Yixiu was delighted. In her heart, since her aunt had agreed, Nian Shilan's child definitely couldn't be kept. She had to make sure everything was safe and secure, to prevent any future complications.

De Fei thought for a while and said, "Qi Yuebin is quite good. They are both daughters of military commanders, so it would be good for them to check and balance each other."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask Brother Qi to come and pay his respects to Auntie."

In the palace.

Nian Shilan was lying on a recliner with her eyes closed, but she was actually watching Concubine De's every move through a paper doll.

Sure enough, this old hag was as vicious as ever. However, Yinzhen's reluctance to agree immediately was a testament to the Nian family and Nian Shilan's low-key approach. In that case, it would be wise to reward him with a sterilization pill, sparing Yinzhen the pain of losing his son each time. This was also Nian Shilan's kindness.

Sadak Sixth knew that his host's decision was somewhat complicated: "Do you really want to do this? Those women are quite pitiful. Without children, they have no hope in the future."

Nian Shilan rolled her eyes and said, "Is it me who caused their pity? If I don't give them the sterilization pill, they'll be able to have children? With a wife like that around, not having a child is better than having a miscarriage, right? You're not going to ask me to be such a saint and protect their pregnancy, are you?"

Nian Shilan looked at Sadak Laoliu with suspicion. Laoliu was speechless for a moment, as if he really couldn't blame the host!

He did what he said. When Yinzhen returned to the mansion in a low mood, he came to see Nian Shilan with a gloomy face and a heavy heart.

"Your Highness, what has offended you? You look so bad. Are you taking it out on me? You've frightened me." Nian Shilan was now able to act calmly and say anything. Her demeanor was worthy of Concubine Hua.

Yinzhen smiled. "You naughty girl, you dare to tease me. How dare I vent my anger on our concubine? I just came to see you. Is the baby in your belly safe and sound?"

"Your Highness, look for yourself. This kid is quite naughty. He knew his father was coming and he kept kicking me. It's obvious that he's on Your Highness' side."

The hand that was caressing Nian Shilan's belly was kicked lightly, which made Yinzhen feel mixed emotions. His expression was complicated and guilty, and he almost wanted to agree to sacrifice the child.

"Haha, of course, I'm his father."

Nian Shilan looked at his expression and knew what he was talking about. He was indeed a bastard, and he was not so shameless. If there were no restrictions, he would never have become emperor.

Thinking of this, Nian Shilan, without hesitation, directly picked up a cup of tea and calmly put a sterilization pill into it. She handed the tea to Yinzhen.

"I must be thirsty after walking all this way. My lips are all chapped. This cup of flower tea is just right for moistening my throat."

Yinzhen took the tea and drank it in one gulp. "Good tea, sweet and refreshing. This tea is perfect for you while you're pregnant."

"I asked the court doctor and he said the same thing. If you like it, I'll ask Songzhi to prepare some for you and have Su Peisheng take it to you."

Yinzhen nodded: "Okay! I have something else to do, I will come to see you another day. Shilan, take good care of your pregnancy. In two days, I can ask Madam Nian and Nara to come and accompany you during the birth, so that you can rest assured."

It's settled. It seems Yinzhen wants to keep the child. It's worth her and the Nian family's changes, and it's worth her hard work to learn the original body's posture and speech to maintain her personality. Think about whether Yinzhen will be less annoyed if Hua Fei is less domineering.

As soon as the others left, he leaned back on the couch with his legs crossed. Song Zhi, who had just walked in, saw his master's bold posture and didn't bother to persuade him. She had seen it so many times that she was used to it.

"Songzhi, rub my legs. Why is pregnancy so tiring? This belly is so big, and there's actually a person inside. Oh my God, what sin have I committed?"

Nian Shilan touched his belly with a look of despair. He finally understood how difficult it was for a woman. He missed his mother in his first life a little.

Honestly, if he hadn't lived long enough, he'd be terrified of having children in this era. The thought of it was painful. He really couldn't talk nonsense anymore. Who knew what he'd become in his next life?

"Master...you can't say that. The little prince will be sad. Besides, it's a great joy that the master is pregnant." Songzhi said disapprovingly.

"Okay, Songzhi, I get it. You've told me this eight hundred times." Nian Shilan, feeling hopeless, sighed helplessly, clutching her belly. "Let's send invitations to Mother and Sister-in-law tomorrow to invite them to accompany you during the birth! It's rare that Fourth Master agrees."

Songzhi was already accustomed to her master calling the prince "Fourth Master", and she responded without changing her expression.

Sadak Laoliu was trying to lower his presence. What if the host wanted him to experience pregnancy? But he couldn't hide the information he received. Otherwise, he would still be punished.

Gritting his teeth, Sadak Laoliu said, "Master, there's movement in the main courtyard. Qi Gege will go with his wife to pay respects to the Empress Defei tomorrow. I guess they..."

Unfinished words: Nian Shilan understood that Defei was going to take action this time regardless of Yinzhen's wishes, so don't blame him for being rude.

Just as he was about to take action against the offspring of the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen, he suddenly remembered that it was already the 54th year of the Kangxi reign, and the Fourteenth Prince already had four children. There had also been four sons in history, so it seemed that there would be no difference if they were not sterilized. It was a mistake.

A somewhat discouraged Nian Shilan could only turn her attention back to the Defei in the palace. She arranged for her to be given all kinds of fart powder, hair removal powder, and bad breath powder.

The next day, when Fu Jin Yi Xiu and Qi Gege went to pay their respects to Consort De, Nian Shilan controlled the paper figurines to blow the mixed powder onto the three of them. The colorless and odorless powder quietly fermented.

A quarter of an hour later, before Concubine De could finish her explanation, three loud noises were heard from Yonghe Palace, startling the passing young eunuch so much that he staggered. Then a foul smell came, which was so strong that people could not open their eyes, and the sounds of dry heaves were heard one after another.

The powerful noise could not be concealed from the flowers and plants in the palace. Kangxi's face was even gloomy. He was very suspicious that Defei had some serious illness. According to the report from his subordinates, there were three loud noises at the same time. Today, Defei called the wife and princess of the fourth family into the palace. Could it be that they were infected by Defei?

"Liang Jiugong, block the news from me. Forbid the palace people to discuss it. Also have the fourth family's wife and daughter sent out. Forbid them to run around and talk nonsense. Keep the Yonghe Palace under house arrest and do not leave unless summoned."

"Come on, I'll go right away."

The emperor found this strange, so he summoned the imperial physician. After hearing the emperor's words, the physicians exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It's unclear whether this is contagious. After all, the maids and eunuchs in Yonghe Palace haven't experienced the same symptoms. Perhaps the Fourth Lady, the princesses, and the Empress Defei are also experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort."

This reason is a bit far-fetched, but it also shows that transmission is unlikely. However, it is quite embarrassing for the emperor. Who would want people to know that he has a concubine who farts loudly?

"Yonghe Palace is in your hands. Find the reason for this and make sure you get to the bottom of it."

"Yes! I obey your order."
