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

Chapter 251: Repairing the plank road in public and marching through Chencang in secret

Yixiu's voice was cold and her tone was very slow.

"Nian Shilan, don't let me look down on you! If it weren't for you, the Nian family would never be like this. You are the daughter of the Nian family, but you have brought the family to this point. Even now, your heart is still thinking about men. It's really despicable."

After hearing what Yixiu said, Nian Shilan slapped herself hard several times.

Her voice was low, as if she was mumbling to herself, but also speaking to Yixiu.

"From now on, there will be no more Hua Fei in this world. There will only be Shi Lan from the Nian family. From today on, I will sever all ties with the Emperor."

Yixiu nodded in praise, "You're quite courageous in doing this. As long as you join forces with me, I will protect your Nian family. As for what you want to do in the future, that's up to you."

Hua Fei's tone was as cold as iron. She stared at Yi Xiu and said coldly, "Empress, you have gone to so much trouble to set up such a big plan. What exactly do you want?"

Yixiu didn't hide it from him and said directly: "I want you to persuade Nian Gengyao to join the Crown Prince's army. It's that simple."

Hua Fei was silent for a few seconds, and finally said: "Okay, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

"you say!"

"Save the lives of my family, old and young. I want them to be well."

Yixiu's expression returned to normal, and she seemed to have become the gentle and kind queen she usually was, as if the scene just now had never happened.

"Of course. Since your fever has subsided, I will leave now. Please have a good rest, Concubine Hua!"

Hua Fei suddenly called Yi Xiu again, "Wait a moment!"

Yixiu turned around in shock, but unexpectedly, Concubine Hua struggled to get up from the ground and walked to the desk.

"I'll personally write a letter to you, brother. After reading it, you'll know what to do. I doubt the Emperor will allow me or the Queen to see you again!"

Yixiu didn't reply. It would be more convenient if she could get the token.

After Nian Shilan finished writing the letter, she put it in an envelope.

After much thought, Nian Shilan still did not seal the letter. She knew that Yixiu would definitely read it.

She handed the letter to Yixiu and said, "When my brother gets the letter, he will naturally understand what I mean."

The rear hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation

Nian Gengyao had woken up, but he was under control.

The palace maids and eunuchs serving in the room were all the emperor's people without exception. They never spoke to Nian Gengyao, but just did their own jobs with peace of mind.

Nian Gengyao tried various methods, including quarreling, making a scene, and even attempting suicide, but all failed.

He was given a muscle softening drug, lost all his martial arts skills, knew nothing about anything, and became deaf, blind, and useless.

It was time for breakfast again. The palace maid skillfully brought a food box from outside and placed it on the table.

She opened the lunch box and took out a plate of buns, a bowl of rice porridge, a dessert, and a few side dishes.

"General Nian, please have your meal."

After the palace maid set the tableware and food, she respectfully bowed to Nian Gengyao lying on the bed.

Nian Gengyao snorted, but since man is made of iron and food is made of steel, he still sat down at the dining table obediently.

Just when he was about to find fault as usual, he found that there seemed to be something hidden in the bun he was biting.

Nian Gengyao was not a fool. He immediately realized that someone was passing a message to him.

But there are people watching in the room now. If I take out the note now, I will definitely be discovered.

Nian Gengyao's eyes rolled, and he picked up a bowl of rice porridge on the table and poured it at the palace maid.

He acted arrogantly as usual and cursed, "How dare you, you bastards! What the hell are you serving this general? I want bird's nest. Is this piece of crap even worthy of my table?"

The palace maid was splashed with porridge, but there was no sign of displeasure on her face. She bowed to Nian Gengyao again.

The palace maid wiped her face nonchalantly and walked out the door as if nothing had happened.

Nian Gengyao immediately took advantage of this opportunity, took out the note from the bun, unfolded it at lightning speed, and took a deep look at it.

He tried hard to read the contents of the letter. Fortunately, the letter did not say much. Before bringing another palace maid, he stuffed the note into his mouth again.

As expected, another palace maid walked in and continued to stare at Nian Gengyao intently.

Although Nian Gengyao continued to curse on the surface, there was already a storm in his heart.

He didn't expect the situation outside to be so critical. The emperor actually ordered the siege of the Nian Mansion, and his family's lives were in danger at any time.

Nian Gengyao was also thinking about what his sister said.

If what my sister said is true, the emperor will take action against them sooner or later.

In this dynasty, the only one who can compete with the emperor is the crown prince.

But is the prince really reliable?

Nian Gengyao never doubted the authenticity of the letter. The correspondence between him and his sister always used secret codes, which were difficult for ordinary people to detect.

If he followed what his sister said in the letter, he would only need to wait for the prince's men to take action.

Gyeongin Palace

Yixiu spent the whole night planning and only fell asleep for a while at dawn.

After the concubines paid their respects in the morning, Yixiu couldn't wait to lean back on the couch.

Before he could rest for a while, he heard a notification from outside.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Yixiu stood up cursing inwardly, but she resumed her usual dignified demeanor.

"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

The Emperor raised his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, Queen."

The emperor naturally noticed the dark circles under Yixiu's eyes. He asked thoughtfully, "How is Concubine Hua now?"

Yixiu knew that the emperor must have heard about what happened last night and came to question her today.

Yixiu shook her head slightly and sighed, "Concubine Hua is in a very bad condition right now. After she heard about General Nian's incident, she became seriously ill. Last night, Concubine Hua had a high fever. I only found out about it when Zhi agreed to come and knock on the gate of Jingren Palace."

The emperor's brows seemed to relax a little, and he said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Queen. It's not appropriate for me to see Hua Fei now. I have some affection for her, and now that the Nian family's affairs have become so chaotic, I hope you can take good care of Hua Fei."

Yixiu nodded and smiled, "As the mistress of the harem, it is my natural duty to take care of the concubines. I will certainly share the emperor's worries."

The emperor reached out and took Yixiu's hand, saying affectionately, "I know you are the most virtuous. After the incident with Nian Gengyao is over, I plan to give Hua Fei the status of a noble lady, allowing her to live out the rest of her life in the harem. She has a bad temper and has offended many people in the harem over the years. I will leave the rest of the affairs to you."
