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

Nian Gengyao was the first to take the fake death drug, and now, he was the first to wake up.

Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when Gengyao saw the prince's face, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of fear in his heart.

Because he had never been in a good mood towards the prince in the past, and now that he was suddenly rescued by the prince, Nian Gengyao was embarrassed when the two met and didn't know how to start the conversation.

It was the prince who broke the balance between the two people. He stood up and pulled Nian Gengyao up.

"General Nian, thank you for your hard work."

Nian Gengyao's old face flushed, he lowered his head, and spoke slowly: "Your Highness, please stop teasing me. I am a dead man now. General Nian? He is nothing but a joke."

The prince pulled his lip slightly, and said with a half-smile, "A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. As long as General Nian makes the right choice, there is hope of reviving the Nian family in the future."

Nian Gengyao shook his head indifferently. After this incident, he had completely let go. All the glory, wealth, power and honor were just passing clouds.

As long as he can keep his family safe, he will be satisfied.

Thinking of this, Nian Gengyao raised his head and said to the Crown Prince with a firm gaze, "I am a warrior and have offended Your Highness the Crown Prince many times in the past. Your Highness is magnanimous and should not hold it against me. Now, Your Highness the Crown Prince has saved me and my two sons. Even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, let alone the life-saving grace. In the future, Nian Gengyao will definitely serve Your Highness the Crown Prince and follow his lead."

The prince had dealt with Nian Gengyao for so many years and knew that although he was arrogant, he always kept his word.

The prince also said seriously: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly."

Nian Gengyao turned his head to look at his two sons who were about to wake up, "I have no other wishes in this life, except that my family can be safe."

The Crown Prince knew what Nian Gengyao was about to say, and he quickly assured him, "Don't worry about this matter. As long as I'm here, the Nian family will be safe. You can work for me without worry. I've asked the Empress Dowager to take care of Concubine Nian in the Yikun Palace."

Upon hearing the news about his sister, Nian Gengyao, a tall and strong man, couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes.

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the Crown Prince. "With your words, Nian Gengyao is relieved. From now on, Nian Gengyao will serve you wholeheartedly, even if it means death."

At this time, Nian Gengyao's two sons, Nian Fu and Nian Xing, had woken up.

The two of them didn't know what was going on. Nian Fu touched his head and looked around vigilantly. When he saw that his father and the prince were still standing there, he was shocked.

"Father, what is going on? Aren't we supposed to be dead? Why is the prince here?"

Nian Gengyao had always been rude to his two sons, and he hit Nian Fu on the head in annoyance.

"How can you speak to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you and your brother would have long since become the dead souls of the Emperor's men."

Nian Xing also woke up at this time. His mind worked quickly and he guessed what had happened at once.

He didn't expect that the prince would take action at this time!

It is said that he who knows the times is a hero, and Nian Xing also knows that their Nian family has no other choice now.

Now the lives of the entire family depend on the emperor's will. Instead of relying on the emperor's insignificant kindness, it is better to cut off the source of the problem, fight to the death, and join the prince to take back the glory that should belong to their Nian family.

Nian Xing rolled over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the Crown Prince and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life. From now on, Nian Xing will follow your orders and serve you wholeheartedly, even if it means death."

Nian Fu wanted to say something, but when his brother pulled him, he understood and came over and kowtowed to make a promise.

Now, the prince has completely conquered the three members of the Nian family.

"This is not the place to talk. I have arranged a secret residence for you in the capital. You can recuperate there for the time being. I will arrange other things for you after a while."

After saying this, the prince took the people and the three men of the Nian family and brought them to the place he had arranged in the capital.

The most dangerous place is also the safest place. The emperor probably could never have imagined that Nian Gengyao, now rich and prosperous, is living well right under his nose.

Prince's Private Residence

Nian Gengyao, who was rich and prosperous, had changed into the clothes of ordinary people.

The father and his two sons sat at the table waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Nian Fu quietly pulled Nian Xing.

"What do you think His Royal Highness will ask us to do? Now that our Nian family is in ruins, what else can we do?"

After hearing this, Nian Gengyao sneered, "You two good-for-nothings! After your grandfather passed away, our Nian family fell into decline. But your father, I, earned my fame on the battlefield with my true skill. A true man has ambitions. If you want fame and fortune, you should go and fight for it yourself. Why complain about others?"

Clap, clap, clap, there was a burst of applause from outside.

The prince walked in, smiling and clapping.

"Alright, alright, you are worthy of being called General Nian. I knew I had not misjudged you. With such heroic spirit, I believe you will accomplish great things for me."

Nian Gengyao cupped his hands and said in a serious tone, "I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the three of us, father and son, to do for you."

The words had been made so clear, the prince did not beat around the bush and directly asked what he wanted to ask.

"Nian Gengyao, you've commanded the army in the northwest for many years. Even if your power has been taken away by the Emperor, the intricate connections you've made are still there, right?"

Nian Gengyao was stunned for a moment. Soldiers value relationships the most. It is naturally impossible for his brothers who fought with him on the battlefield to ignore their friendship just because he is down and out now.

But the imperial power is supreme. Even if they think of the friendship between them, it is impossible for them to follow me and lead the troops to rebel!

The prince wouldn't want him to return to the northwest and fight back with his army!

As if he had guessed Nian Gengyao's inner thoughts, the prince smiled softly.

"I'm afraid that General Nian will misunderstand me. I have no intention of rebelling and usurping the throne. Otherwise, wouldn't the scholars of the world curse me to death?"

The Qing Dynasty has always attached great importance to filial piety, otherwise Kangxi would not have left an imperial edict for the prince.

After all, if the current emperor really doesn't care, the edict of the previous emperor will be no different from a blank piece of paper.

"Then, Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do? I, Nian Gengyao, am a rough man and don't understand those twists and turns. Please speak clearly, Your Highness."
