Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven
Chapter 111: The Legend of Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua
The next night, under a dark and windy sky, Nian Shilan quietly left the palace alone and returned to the Nian residence. She had one important task on her mind: to borrow an embryo. The agreement she had reached with the Queen Mother required her to bear a child for the Fourteenth Prince, a task that presented no difficulty to Nian Shilan. The Fourteenth Prince, Yinzhen, possessed exceptional military leadership, and Nian Shilan had no concerns about his potential treason.
After arriving at the Nian Mansion, Nian Shilan walked straight to the door of the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen's room. There was a knock on the door, dong dong dong...
After the door opened, Yinzhen was surprised to see that it was Imperial Noble Consort Nian Shilan standing outside. He asked puzzledly, "It's so late, why did the Empress come to see me?"
Nian Shilan walked into the room without hesitation and said bluntly: "Come and borrow some seed from the prince!" After that, she suddenly hugged Yinzhen and kissed him passionately. For the whole night that followed, the two of them enjoyed the joy of lovemaking. Nian Shilan was almost unable to get up due to exhaustion, because she knew that if people found out that she had secretly left the palace and had an affair with an outsider, the consequences would be disastrous. Before dawn, Nian Shilan hurriedly left the Nian Mansion, leaving Yinzhen still immersed in sleep. Nian Shilan asked someone to tell Nian Gengyao to send the Fourteenth Prince away today. The emperor knew that the Fourteenth Prince had returned and was still living in the Nian Mansion. The Nian Mansion and the Fourteenth Prince would be in trouble.
After returning to the palace, Nian Shilan sent Zhou Ninghai to expose Zhen Huan's affair. She decided to use this opportunity to make Zhen Huan disappear completely. So, she secretly arranged for someone to reveal the news of Zhen Huan's affair with Prince Guo to Emperor Yongzheng.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongzheng was furious and immediately led his men to Yongshou Palace. When they arrived, they happened to see Zhen Huan and Prince Guo together. Emperor Yongzheng's face instantly turned gloomy. He did not hesitate to sentence Zhen Huan to death on the spot and ordered the Zhen family to be exiled to Ningguta.
As for Prince Guo, Emperor Yongzheng sent someone to return him to the palace and secretly gave him poison. He publicly announced that Prince Guo had died of illness, thus concealing the truth. Yongzheng's body had reached its limit due to qi deficiency and stagnation, and he suffered a mild stroke. To prevent the ministers from discovering, Nian Shilan sent a message to his brother Nian Gengyao to help stabilize the situation. The dog emperor could not die yet, and he would only die after the child in his belly was born.
About a month later, Nian Shilan sent someone to tell the Queen Mother that she was pregnant! Upon hearing the news, the Queen Mother decided to help Nian Shilan become the Queen, so that her grandson would be more stable in becoming the heir to the throne.
So he summoned the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Nian Gengyao is a powerful figure in the court. The Imperial Noble Consort already has two sons and is now pregnant. Your Majesty, if you have health problems, you should simply make the Imperial Noble Consort your legal wife. That way, if anything were to happen, she wouldn't cause chaos at the court. At least your son would definitely succeed to the throne, and the country would still be ruled by the Aisin-Gioro family..."
Yongzheng said, "I will consider it, don't worry, Empress Dowager! Shilan has become much more restrained in recent years. Although the Nian family holds great power, they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"
In July of the eleventh year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, Imperial Noble Consort Nian gave birth to the Emperor's eighth son, Hongxi, who was named Crown Prince and promoted to Empress. It is said that when the Crown Prince was born, the sky was ablaze with radiant light, like a phoenix emerging from the ashes. The Emperor was delighted and considered it an auspicious sign.
After Hongxi's birth, Yongzheng's health deteriorated. He often felt exhausted and his spirits gradually weakened. However, as the emperor, he still insisted on handling state affairs and refused to give up power easily.
That morning, Yongzheng sat on the dragon throne in the Hall of Mental Cultivation as usual, listening to reports from his ministers. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and his vision blurred. He tried to support himself, but eventually collapsed onto the throne.
Panic erupted in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the ministers gathered around in panic. Empress Nian Shilan, upon hearing the news, rushed to the palace. Seeing Yongzheng unconscious, she became extremely anxious and immediately summoned the imperial physician.
Imperial physicians rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and performed an emergency medical examination on Yongzheng. After a thorough examination, they diagnosed his collapse as a result of overwork and physical weakness. Nian Shilan realized that the elixirs she had coaxed Yongzheng into taking over the years were taking effect. These elixirs were not her own, but were made with cinnabar. They were poisonous, and by now, it was likely beyond recovery.
After intensive treatment, Yongzheng finally regained consciousness. He opened his eyes and saw Nian Shilan and the imperial physicians surrounding him, feeling a wave of warmth in his heart. He weakly said, "I'm fine, just exhausted." Nian Shilan, upon hearing this, held Yongzheng's hand and said, "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself!"
Yongzheng said: "Shilan, my health is failing! I want to talk to you!"
Nian Shilan sent someone down and asked Zhou Ninghai to guard the door. "Go ahead..."
Yongzheng took her hand and said, "I'm sorry! I didn't protect our child back then. Fortunately, God has blessed us with three lovely sons, Hongyan, Hongzhao, and Hongxi..."
Nian Shilan pulled her hand away, wiped it, and sneered, "Yinzhen, do you really think God has mercy on me? The entire Yikun Palace is bathed in musk all year round, and I can still have a child..."
Yongzheng was stunned: "You know?"
Nian Shilan: "Of course I know. I know that my poor child was killed by his father because his father didn't want him. I know that you said you liked me, but you gave me such a strong musk, just because you didn't want me to have a child."
Yongzheng said guiltily: "I'm sorry!"
Nian Shilan: "You don't know, Huipin's daughter is Doctor Wen's, not yours!"
Yongzheng's face was filled with rage after hearing this. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Bitch! I'm going to kill her..." Nian Shilan walked over to sit beside him, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Hongyan, Hongzhao is not your son. You are not worthy of me bearing your children. They are the children of the Imperial Hospital's Doctor Wei. Oh, and Hongxi is the Fourteenth Master's child. After all the twists and turns, it seems that the Fourteenth Master's child will get the position..."
Yongzheng was so angry that his face turned red, and he died without catching his breath. Hongxi, who was only three years old, ascended the throne and named his mother Nian as the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was named Grand Empress Dowager, Hongyan and Hongzhao as Prince Jian and Prince Cheng, and the rest of the brothers as Beile. Because Hongxi was underage, Nian Shilan helped to handle the affairs of the court. As for the Fourteenth Prince, he was named the General of the Northwest to guard the border for his son. The Grand Empress Dowager was very happy to see that her son could stay in Beijing. However, due to his failing health, he passed away in less than a year. When Hongxi was 16 years old, she took power. As the Empress Dowager, Nian Shilan took Wei Lin to the Old Summer Palace to live out her retirement life. Occasionally, the Fourteenth Prince would come and compete with Wei Lin for her, but they lived a good life. When Hongxi ascended the throne, Nian Gengyao gave the military power to Hongxi and lived out his life in peace.
When Nian Shilan turned 72, she felt her life was at its limit. She summoned her three sons and, looking at the two men who had been with her all her life, said, "Don't be sad. I'm just going first. You must take care of yourselves..." With that, her eyes closed forever, and the three Hongxi brothers wept uncontrollably. Wei Lin and Yin Zhen looked at each other, drank poison, and slept beside Nian Shilan, asking their sons to bury them together. They had lived a happy life.
Feng Xi turned back to the system and asked, "System settlement..."
System: "Okay, the host has a total of 3800 points and 15 merits." She gave 2000 points to the system, letting it store them for future upgrades. She absorbed the merits, feeling a slight improvement in her cultivation. When she left the last world, she had half-filled her private vault with treasures and placed them in her own space, just in case she ran out of money in another world...
