Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother
Chapter 254: Repairing the plank road in public and marching through Chencang in secret
The emperor was stunned for a moment. Nian Shilan was so gentle and affectionate that she really made the emperor intoxicated.
He half-closed his eyes and said with a smug look on his face, "From now on, I will take good care of you and will never let you suffer any injustice again."
Nian Shilan hugged the emperor, and from the back that the emperor couldn't see, her eyes were full of hatred.
Nian Shilan warned herself again and again that it was not the right time yet. When one day her brother and the prince succeeded, she would kill this ungrateful bastard with her own hands.
For the sake of his former self and for revenge for his dead child.
After Nian Shilan gained favor, she was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Instead, she changed her temperament and became humble and low-key.
Normally, he only goes out to pay respects to the emperor, and stays in his own Yiku Palace at other times.
The next morning, Su Peisheng came to Yiku Palace with a helpless look on his face. He bowed to Nian Shilan.
"I pay my respects to Noble Nian. The Emperor has granted you permission to visit the commoner Nian Gengyao this morning. Please pack your things and follow me!"
After saying that, Su Peisheng lowered his head, unable to bear to look at Nian Shilan's expression.
Everyone knew that this would be the last time the brother and sister would see each other. After this meeting, the emperor would give Nian Gengyao poisoned wine, white silk and a dagger.
After Nian Gengyao was sentenced to death, they would take these things to Nian's mansion and sentence his two sons to death.
Although she knew that her brother would be rescued in the end, Nian Shilan still felt a pang of pain in her heart after hearing Su Peisheng say this.
My brother spent half his life in the military, but in the end he ended up with such an ending: the birds are all gone, the good bows are put away, the rabbits are strangled to death, and the running dogs are cooked.
Nian Shilan's tone was a little low, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Su."
Nian Shilan packed herself up and tried her best to look better. After this separation, she and her brother would not know when they would see each other again.
Nian Shilan also specially prepared some soup and snacks for her brother, as if to see him off.
After everything was ready, Su Peisheng took Nian Shilan and Song Zhi to the place where Nian Gengyao was imprisoned.
The rear hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation
Surrounded by three layers of guards inside and outside, it looked like not even a fly could fly in.
Nian Shilan smiled bitterly and was about to take Songzhi forward when she was stopped by the guards.
"Wait a minute, no one is allowed to approach here without the emperor's order."
Before Nian Shilan could speak, Su Peisheng stepped forward and said to the guards:
"Noble Nian is traveling here by order of the Emperor to see Nian Gengyao for the last time. No one is allowed to stop her."
The guards then let the two of them go, but when Se-ran and Song-ji had just taken a few steps, they were stopped by a female voice from behind.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Nian, please stay."
When Nian Shilan heard the familiar voice, her heart tightened. She suddenly turned around and saw the woman she least wanted to see.
Concubine Duan was supported by Jixiang. Her face looked very bad and she was even coughing, but she couldn't stop smiling.
Jixiang shouted at Nian Shilan, "How dare you! You didn't even kneel down and pay your respects to Concubine Duan!"
Su Peisheng was in a very difficult situation. These two masters had never gotten along. According to palace rules, Nian Shilan was now a noble lady, and Concubine Duan was a concubine. Nian Shilan should indeed pay her respects to Concubine Duan.
but………
Isn't this a slap in the face of Nian Shilan?
Su Peisheng quickly walked up to Concubine Duan, bowed and said with a smile, "Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty Duan. Her Majesty is not feeling well. It's so windy today. Why did you come out? You should go back and rest!"
Concubine Duan smiled and nodded to Su Peisheng, but when she looked at Nian Shilan, her face was full of indifference.
"Noble Nian, the palace rules are very strict. You are just a noble now. Why don't you kneel when you see me? That's right, I suddenly forgot that you have suddenly reached the status of a noble. You probably don't know how to perform this etiquette, right? It doesn't matter, Jixiang, you can teach it to me."
Nian Shilan gritted her teeth and said to Concubine Duan with a slightly cold look in her eyes, "Concubine Duan, please don't go too far. I have something important to attend to today and I don't want to argue with you. If you know what's best for you, leave now."
Concubine Duan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a sarcastic smile crossed her lips.
Of course she knew that Nian Shilan had something important to do today, and she also knew that the emperor had favored Nian Shilan again, but she had to do this even if it meant offending the emperor.
Nian Shilan is impulsive and will definitely do something wrong if she is slightly provoked.
The Nian family is now at the center of public opinion. If she loses this opportunity, it will be troublesome for her to kill Nian Shilan again.
As long as Nian Shilan made a mistake here today, she could inform the Qi family to join forces with the prince in the court and let the emperor directly sentence Nian Shilan to death.
Only in this way can she relieve the hatred in her heart.
The Queen must have hated Nian Shilan for many years. She must have wanted to see this scene. She had inquired about the Emperor in advance and knew that he was currently handling government affairs and would not come here at all.
Now there is no one in this palace who can save Nian Shilan.
Jixiang smiled slightly, stood up from beside Concubine Duan, then walked to Nian Shilan and bowed.
"This servant will set an example for Mr. Nian. Mr. Nian, please learn the rules carefully."
After saying this, Jixiang knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Concubine Duan.
"Your Highness Nian pays respects to Concubine Duan. May Concubine Duan live in peace and happiness."
Concubine Duan smiled and asked, "Noble Nian, have you learned it? Do you want Jixiang to teach you again?"
Nian Shilan had always been proud. She snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Concubine Duan, when I was a noble concubine, you were just a poor creature trying to make a living under my command. Even though they say a tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog, if you were truly a fierce tiger, how could you let a pug bully you?"
Nian Shilan took a few steps forward with a sneer. She suddenly approached Concubine Duan, pulled out a hairpin from her neck, and pressed it against Concubine Duan's neck.
"If I kill you today, how will the Emperor punish me? Concubine Duan, the Emperor hasn't visited you in a long time, right? Tsk tsk tsk, look at your wrinkled face, and the fine lines on your neck. Concubine Duan, you should take good care of yourself when you have time. You seem to smell like an old man. No wonder the Emperor doesn't want to see you."
This was undoubtedly another stab into Concubine Duan's heart. She was so angry at Nian Shilan that she fell to the ground and was speechless for a long time.
Concubine Duan pointed at Nian Shilan and said, "You...you...you..."
Nian Shilan pretended to be charming and smiled, with unparalleled elegance and grace.
Even Jixiang, who was following Concubine Duan, thought that Nian Shilan was really pretty. No wonder the emperor was still willing to favor her even though such a big thing had happened to the Nian family.
