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

Nian Shilan grabbed the quilt on the bed tightly, trying to stay with her brother for a while longer.

The two maids looked at each other and urged in unison, "Sir, please don't embarrass us. The visiting hours are over. Please go back first!"

"Nian Gengyao, the commoner, committed a heinous crime. As the emperor's concubine, you must sever all ties with such a person."

Nian Gengyao knew that at this time, he had to be cruel, he said with a sob.

After saying this, Nian Gengyao personally lifted up Nian Shilan's hand that was grabbing the quilt.

Nian Shilan was stunned and was taken out by two palace maids.

By the time she reacted, the door of the room where Nian Gengyao was imprisoned had been tightly closed.

Nian Shilan was in great pain. She slammed the door desperately, "Brother, what are you doing? Let me see you again, brother! Brother!"

Nian Shilan slapped and cried at the same time.

Nian Gengyao in the room naturally heard it as well. With red eyes and a distraught look, he got out of bed and pressed his hands tightly against the door.

Nian Gengyao murmured to himself, "You will have to walk the road ahead on your own."

Nian Shilan slapped for a while and finally got tired. He collapsed on the ground exhausted and in pain.

Songzhi couldn't bear it any longer, she rushed forward and helped Nian Shilan up.

"My lady, the ground is cold. Please don't treat your body like this! Let's go back!"

.........

Nian Gengyao didn't stand up until he heard the noise outside gradually fade away.

The door opened at this time, and a palace maid came in carrying snacks and soup brought to him by Nian Shilan.

"Your Majesty is so kind. This is the last meal I made for you. Is there anything else you would like to eat? I can ask the imperial kitchen to bring it to you."

Nian Gengyao waved his hand, "This general has tasted all sorts of delicacies from land and sea. Bring out your food!"

After hearing this, the palace maid placed the snacks and soup made by Nian Shilan on the dining table.

Nian Gengyao picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. It was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life because it was made by his sister for him.

But as he was eating, Nian Gengyao realized something was wrong, but by the time he reacted, it was too late.

Nian Gengyao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the dishes in his hands fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The palace maid guarding him was also shocked. What was going on? The things sent by the noble had clearly been inspected and there was nothing wrong with them. Why did they suddenly become poisonous?

Before long, Nian Gengyao fainted from the poison, and the palace maid hurriedly reported the news.

Gyeongin Palace

"Your Majesty, something's wrong. Nian Gengyao ate the snacks sent by Noble Lady Nian and suddenly became poisoned and fainted. His life or death is now uncertain."

After Xiudong received the news, she immediately told Yixiu the whole story.

Yixiu was shocked, but she was not stupid enough to believe that Nian Shilan would attack her own brother.

Anything sent to Nian Gengyao’s mouth would definitely go through layers of inspection outside. Could it be the emperor?

However, Yixiu immediately rejected this idea. The emperor had already issued an order to execute Nian Gengyao, so there was no need to do this.

Who is the person who can reach so far?

"Go and find out who did it?"

When the emperor heard the news, he was also shocked. He was surprised that someone was so bold as to reach out to him.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he allow others to sleep soundly on his bed? If you dare to kill Nian Gengyao today, won’t you be trying to harm yourself tomorrow?

Although Nian Gengyao was already dying, the only person who could kill him was the emperor. The emperor would not allow anyone to take his life without his permission.

The emperor and Yixiu investigated the matter together, and finally all the evidence pointed to Concubine Duan.

After all, Nian Shilan had only seen her before, and her relationship with Nian Shilan was very bad, so she was the most suspicious.

However, what Yixiu didn't expect was that Concubine Duan actually came to see her.

Gyeongin Palace

As soon as Concubine Duan arrived at Jingren Palace, she asked Concubine Yixiu to leave and the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving on the side went to the palace.

Although Yixiu was puzzled, she agreed anyway. However, she was cautious and asked Xiudong, who was good at martial arts, to hide secretly.

After Concubine Duan saw everyone leave, she knelt on the ground without saying a word and said to Yixiu, "I was the one who gave you the medicine. Your Majesty must be investigating this matter. Now that the truth is out, it will save Your Majesty a lot of trouble."

Yixiu hesitated for a moment, then chose her words carefully, "Why are you doing this? The Emperor has already decided to execute Nian Gengyao, and I need a reason."

Concubine Duan pursed her lips, her eyes smiling as she said, "I suspect the Queen intends to have the Crown Prince win over the Nian family!"

Yixiu was startled. She stared at Concubine Duan for two seconds, then asked with a half-smile, "Why do you say that? Everyone knows that I and Concubine Hua have always been at odds, and the Crown Prince and Nian Gengyao's faction have always been in opposition."

Concubine Duan knelt on the ground and continued speaking in a leisurely tone, directly exposing the loophole in Yixiu's words.

"But it is precisely because everyone knows this relationship that Your Majesty is taking this opportunity to win it over. After all, no matter how great the hatred is, it is nothing compared to the throne of the Supreme Being. Am I right?"

Yixiu's face curled up into a smile, and then suddenly turned cold and angry, "Outrageous Concubine Duan, do you know that the reason you have survived all these years is all thanks to the help of this palace and Concubine Xian, otherwise you would have died in the hands of Concubine Hua long ago."

Concubine Duan smiled calmly, "I just remember the great kindness of the Empress, so I didn't report the Empress's rebellious intentions to the Emperor!"

Yixiu raised her eyebrows. Concubine Duan in this life seemed a little crazy. Perhaps she had never truly understood Concubine Duan. She was like a poisonous snake lying in the dark, observing everything around her and waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Don't worry, Queen. I've been drugged with safflower and will never have children again in this lifetime. I have no interest in who the future emperor will be, but..."

Yixiu asked, "But what?"

Hatred blazed in Concubine Duan's eyes, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Nian Shilan has harmed me to this point. Nian Gengyao and the Nian family have harmed my people. I would not be a human being if I don't avenge them."

Concubine Duan stood up straight and said meaningfully: "As long as the Queen can help me, I am willing to help the Queen seize the throne."

Yixiu finally understood that Concubine Duan did this just to crush the Nian family.

Yixiu raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and smiled, "Then what can you do for me? I don't care about the emperor's favor anymore. Your Qi family's influence in the court has long been reduced. Concubine Duan, you have no bargaining chips with me at all."
