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

The emperor's eyes were cold, and he spoke in a stern voice, "The palace rules are strict. Merits must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished. If I protect Nian this time, how will others see me? Wouldn't I become a tyrant?"

Nian Gengyao slowly closed his eyes and said in a firm voice, "I am willing to take full responsibility for all the crimes. I only ask that Your Majesty please stop blaming Lady Hua...Nian."

Upon seeing this, the Emperor directly revealed his purpose. "Since that's the case, I will strip you of your position as Grand General and take back your military power as punishment. As for the Fucha family, although Concubine Fucha didn't miscarry, she was injured after all. It's uncertain whether she can save the dragon fetus."

Nian Gengyao had no idea he had fallen into the emperor's trap. He quickly assured the emperor, "I, your humble servant, will go to the Fucha family to apologize and seek their forgiveness. As for Noble Lady Fucha, I will also do my best to make amends."

When the emperor saw that his goal had been achieved, he immediately gave a blow and a sweet treat to stabilize the Nian family and Nian Gengyao.

His tone was slow, as if filled with sadness and helplessness. "Shilan, you have always been by my side since we were in the palace. I have feelings for her. You and I, as king and subject, should naturally work together. Sometimes I am also helpless. With the Zongzheng and the Eight Banners nobles, I..."

Seeing the emperor's mood ease, Nian Gengyao straightened up slightly and whispered, "Of course, I understand your majesty's helplessness, but...my sister is an old lady after all. Asking her to become a noble is really a bit...I hope your majesty will consider the friendship between my brother and me and even offer her a concubine."

After all, the concubine is the main position in the palace.

Although Hua Fei is the only one living in Yikun Palace now, if Hua Fei is just a noble lady, she cannot even live in the main hall and can only move to a side hall.

Hua Fei was used to being spoiled and domineering, so this kind of blow was simply devastating to her.

Nian Gengyao felt sorry for his sister, so he had to ask again shamelessly.

The emperor still had some true feelings for Nian Shilan, and he couldn't put too much pressure on the Nian family, so he agreed to Nian Gengyao's request.

Nian Gengyao was deeply moved and repeatedly assured that he would be loyal to the emperor in the future.

The emperor also patiently said a lot of hypocritical words to Nian Gengyao about the emperor and his subjects working together.

Yikun Palace

Su Peisheng brought the emperor's edict to the Yiku Palace. The general meaning was that although Concubine Hua had caused Concubine Wan's miscarriage and Concubine Fucha's unstable fetus, she admitted her mistake with a good attitude and actively asked the imperial physician to treat her. In addition, she admitted her mistake in time and compensated Concubine Fucha afterwards.

The emperor gave her the position of concubine, but only temporarily confined her to her house for three months.

Hua Fei also knew that her position as a concubine must have been fought for by her brother and her family, so she quickly accepted the decree and expressed her gratitude.

Concubine Hua asked Songzhi to bring a stack of banknotes and personally stuffed it into Su Peisheng's hands, "Eunuch, the emperor...Isn't the emperor angry there? Please also ask the eunuch to say a few good words for me in front of the emperor. I really didn't mean to do this."

Su Peisheng was a down-to-earth man. Since he had accepted the banknotes from Concubine Hua, he gave her some advice.

"The Emperor has always had the Empress in his heart. If the Empress wishes to remain with the Emperor for a long time, then she should control her temper and endure for the time being!"

Those involved are often confused, while those who are watching can see things clearly. Su Peisheng could only point this out and then turned and left.

Broken Yuxuan

After Zhen Huan woke up, she anxiously asked Jin Xi, "Jin Xi, what happened to my child? How is my child now?"

Jin Xi was also heartbroken. She gently held Zhen Huan's hand and comforted her softly, "My lady, don't be too sad. You are still young and you can have children again."

Although she had vaguely guessed it, when Zhen Huan heard the news from Jin Xi's mouth, she still felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at her bones and thousands of arrows were piercing her heart.

With tears in her eyes, Zhen Huan cried bitterly, "My child, my child, my child, my child..."

Among those present, when the servants heard Zhen Huan's painful cries, they were all heartbroken and shed tears.

Yixiu specially sent Jianqiu to visit. When Jianqiu arrived, she happened to hear Zhen Huan crying outside the house.

After she walked in, Cui Jinxi received Jianqiu and whispered, "My young lady just lost her child and is truly heartbroken. I hope Auntie won't blame me for any impoliteness."

Jianqiu glanced at Zhen Huan, a trace of sympathy flashing in her eyes.

She bowed to Zhen Huan and said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Wan. I'm here to visit Concubine Wan on the orders of Empress Nian. Concubine Wan, the Empress knows you're heartbroken, but you should still take care of yourself. The Empress has specially asked me to bring some supplements. If you're short of anything, just go to the Imperial Household Department and get them. The Empress has already made arrangements."

Zhen Huan was in great pain and was in no mood to exchange thanks with Jianqiu in public.

Seeing this situation, Jianqiu was very tactful and prepared to get up and say goodbye.

But unexpectedly, Zhen Huan suddenly stopped her and said, "Nian killed my child. How is she now?"

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Jian Qiu paused and looked at Zhen Huan meaningfully, saying, "The Emperor has stripped Lady Hua of her title, demoted her to the rank of concubine, and confined her to her house for three months."

Zhen Huan was stunned for a moment, she suddenly laughed twice, and then couldn't help crying.

Jianqiu shook her head helplessly and said goodbye again.

Before leaving the door, Jianqiu could still vaguely hear Zhen Huan crying: "She killed my child, and the Emperor only demoted her."

After returning to Jingren Palace, Jianqiu was also sighing.

Yixiu sighed and asked with a half-smile, "Why are you sighing so much? Isn't this result inevitable? Isn't it always like this in this deep palace?"

Jianqiu replied, "Of course I know that, but seeing Concubine Wan so heartbroken, I just feel a little sad. I don't know if Concubine Wan can pull through this time."

Yixiu looked into the distance with deep meaning, a cold smile curling her red lips: "There is nothing that cannot be survived. If you can't survive in this harem, then there is only one result: death."

"How's Noble Lady Fucha doing?"

Jianqiu replied, "Noble Lady Fucha's condition is better than Noble Lady Wan's. Imperial Physician Wen does have some skills. Noble Lady Fucha's child is safe now, but she needs to be more careful in the future. Imperial Physician Wen also discovered something and specifically instructed me to tell the Empress."

A hint of surprise appeared in Yixiu's eyes. What kind of news could make Doctor Wen specifically instruct him to tell her?

"Tell me, what's the news?"
