Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Concubine Hua is impulsive, but Nian Gengyao and Prince Dun are not fools. It is impossible to say that there is no trick behind such a sudden dismissal.

Prince Dun's staff even felt that the emperor punished Su Chou just to make an example of him.

Not only can they no longer be as outspoken as before, but now they also need to keep a low profile.

Nian Gengyao was a little unconvinced. "I, the general, have fought on the battlefield and made great contributions. How can I compare to that Su who just talks all day long?"

Prince Dun was more cautious than Nian Gengyao. "In my opinion, we should be more patient. Even if we lose the crown prince, we still have the second prince. Even if his biological mother, Consort Xian, is not favored now, if the queen loses the crown prince and adopts the second prince, it will be a troublesome matter. Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. What do you think, General?"

Nian Gengyao sneered, his eyes full of fierceness.

"Since this general dares to kill the Crown Prince, then he will also dare to kill the Second Prince. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Hua has no biological children, this general would risk his life rather than let the Crown Prince's position pass to someone else."

Prince Dun looked a little strange. It would be a lie to say that he had no interest in that position.

He was born into a noble family. If the emperor had not been partial to him and the fourth brother was not so insidious and cunning, how could the throne have fallen into his hands?

The eighth and ninth brothers were renamed Saishei and Aqinna respectively, and were imprisoned in the clan residence for their entire lives.

Even his own brother was imprisoned. If it weren't for the protection of the Nianhulu clan and the Mongols, what would have been his fate?

Anyway, Concubine Hua has no children now. As long as she and Nian Gengyao plan well, they may be able to pull the fourth son down from that position and take his place.

.........

The emperor did not expect that after he dealt with Su Chou, the Nian family and Prince Dun would actually plead for him.

Nian Gengyao knelt on the ground, looking like a loyal minister and a capable general.

"Your Majesty, even though Lord Su has done a million wrongs, you still have to consider the Empress and the Crown Prince. Don't dismiss him from his position! Speaking of kinship, Lord Su is the Crown Prince's cousin. Where would the Crown Prince's face be if you did that?"

The emperor nodded thoughtfully and said, how could Nian Gengyao be so kind?

He didn't say anything, just sat motionless in the chair, showing no emotion.

Nian Gengyao gritted his teeth again and added fuel to the fire.

"Most common people praise Lord Su as an upright official who serves his country and his people. Now that he has been suddenly dismissed, I'm afraid the people outside will wonder how they will feel. Please, Your Majesty, consider the situation and revoke your decision!"

Although the emperor knew that this was a trap set by Nian Gengyao for Su Chou, he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

He said coldly, "How dare you! I am the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I can dismiss anyone I want! If anyone dares to plead for Su Chou again, he will be dismissed along with him."

Nian Gengyao lowered his head in embarrassment. He tried his best to control his expression and not let himself laugh out loud.

After leaving the palace, Nian Gengyao specially sent an invitation to Su Chou, saying that he wanted to invite him for a drink.

It was originally thought that Su Chou would refuse, but Su Chou agreed to Nian Gengyao's request.

When Nian Gengyao saw Su Chou in the restaurant's private room, he couldn't help but sneer, "Master Su, they say a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. How come you were suddenly dismissed? Alas, you don't know that at the morning court, I pleaded with the emperor for mercy, but the emperor said that anyone who dared to plead for you again would be dismissed as well. Alas."

There was no change on Su Chou's face. He found a place to sit down and waved to the outside.

"Waiter, serve the wine."

Nian Gengyao found it strange that Su Chou did not say anything back.

He looked at Su Chou tentatively and asked, "Hey, Mr. Su, what's wrong with you? The emperor is really not going to dismiss you, is he?"

Su Chou sneered, bowed his hands towards the Forbidden City, and said, "Your Majesty, do not joke. The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, so his words are law."

Nian Gengyao stared at Su Chou meaningfully, trying to see something wrong on his face.

"That's impossible. You are the Queen's cousin and the Crown Prince's uncle. What did you do to cause the Emperor to depose you?"

Su Chou smiled coldly and suddenly moved close to Nian Gengyao's face, scaring him.

Nian Gengyao was about to scold him when he heard Su Chou's voice with a hint of laughter in his ears.

"If I say that I asked the emperor to kill you, and that's why he dismissed me in anger, would you believe it?"

When Nian Gengyao realized what was happening, he angrily yelled, "Su, are you sick?"

After saying this, Nian Gengyao angrily threw his sleeves and left the restaurant box.

The waiter came to the box with a pot of good wine and just happened to see Nian Gengyao leaving in anger.

He knocked on the door of the box with some concern, came in and asked, "Sir, are these things still coming?"

Su Chou smiled indifferently, "Why not? Bring up whatever you ordered earlier."

After he finished speaking, he did not forget to instruct, "Please put all of this into the account of General Nian who just left."

Yikun Palace

After reading Nian Gengyao's letter, Concubine Hua placed the letter directly on the candle and burned it.

Under the flickering candlelight, Concubine Hua looked a little frightened. "It seems that the Emperor really doesn't like that old woman, the Empress. I must hurry and get pregnant with a prince."

In order to get pregnant as soon as possible, Concubine Hua almost monopolized the favor of all the concubines in the harem.

She would either say that she was sick, or go to the Yangxin Palace to bring soup or water to the emperor, or go directly to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor.

The emperor also gave Hua Fei face and stayed at her place almost all month long.

One morning, Concubine Hua got up early, but saw two eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department walking into the room carrying things on a tray.

When the two saw Concubine Hua, they immediately greeted her and said, "Greetings to Her Majesty Concubine Hua."

Hua Fei looked at the clothes on the tray, her eyes flashing with excitement. These seemed to be the clothes of the Imperial Concubine!

But in front of the servants, Concubine Hua suppressed her inner joy and asked, "Isn't this the Imperial Concubine's dress? Who asked you to send it?"

A young eunuch replied, "This is the order from the eunuch above. I am just following it."

Hua Fei's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. Your Majesty, are you going to make me the Imperial Noble Consort?

"Is this what the Emperor wants?"

Song Zhi laughed and said, "If it weren't for the emperor's order, who would dare to make this decision?"

Concubine Hua smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, eunuchs. Go out and find Eunuch Zhou to claim your reward!"

After hearing this, the two young eunuchs also looked happy. Everyone knew that Concubine Hua had always been generous, and this time they finally got what they wanted.

The two palace maids took the clothes from the two eunuchs, then knelt on the ground and congratulated them: "Congratulations, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, congratulations, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
