"Shu Fei, wait a moment, I have something to talk to you about."

Hua Fei, who was born into a military family, had a quick temper and stopped An Lingrong in public.

Seeing that Concubine Hua had a bad look on her face, the others left the room in silence.

An Lingrong could understand Hua Fei's anxiety, and led Hua Fei to a pavilion with wind blowing in from all sides.

Concubine Hua couldn't hold back her words and explained the whole story in a few words.

"Shufei, my brother doesn't believe me. Do you have any good ideas?"

An Lingrong rubbed her hands and looked over with a serious face.

"Empress Hua, you think too highly of me."

"An Lingrong, I'm not coming to you because I'm at my wit's end. They say a dog that doesn't bark bites, and I think you can do it."

"Empress Hua, did you call me here just to humiliate me?"

An Lingrong stood up slowly and questioned angrily.

Songzhi, who was standing not far away, saw Concubine Shu leave angrily and walked forward worriedly.

"Your Majesty, you and Concubine Shu..."

Concubine Hua, her heart shaken, supported Songzhi and raised her voice arrogantly.

"Shu Fei doesn't know what's good for her. Let's go back to the palace."

As soon as Concubine Hua returned to Yiku Palace, she collapsed in her chair.

Concubine Shu had just asked her to investigate Huanyixiang, and had specifically instructed that it would be best to investigate outside the palace.

"Songzhi, please prepare the pen and ink."

She claimed Shufei's suspicion as her own and even slipped some Huanyixiang into the letter.

After receiving the letter, Nian Gengyao laughed at his sister in front of his son.

"Fu'er, our Nian family is highly valued by the emperor. Your aunt is just worrying for no reason."

Nian Fu also participated in the Northwest War and was rewarded.

Having attended quite a few banquets these days, he actually agreed with his aunt's words.

"Father, when you were in the northwest, you sent a doctor to Auntie, and he found nothing wrong. This skilled military doctor is right here at home. What harm would it do to have him come and take a look?"

Nian Gengyao was originally going to send a military doctor to treat his sister, so it was just a matter of words and he agreed without thinking.

Less than half an hour later, Nian Fu personally sent the military doctor away.

When he returned to the study, he saw that his usually strong father had vomited blood and fallen on the couch. He hurriedly ordered someone to call the court doctor.

When Nian Gengyao woke up weakly, he sat dejectedly on the couch.

"Fu'er, do you think the Emperor knows that I, your father..."

Intentionally delaying the progress of the war in the northwest.

Nian Gengyao swallowed the second half of the sentence.

He did indeed delay in order to demonstrate his importance, but later, after several complaints from his sister, he dealt with the rebellion with decisive measures.

The kneeling welcome of all the officials made him completely lost in the honor and favor bestowed by the emperor.

The depressed Nian Gengyao vomited blood again and began to seek a way out for his sister and the Nian family.

Then, with red eyes, Nian Fu wrote furiously and sent the results of his investigation to the palace.

"Ha ha ha ha....."

"Huan Yi Xiang contains a large amount of musk. If women use it for a long time, it will cause infertility."

"The emperor is very calculating. He used all the musk deer my brother sent as tribute on me."

Concubine Hua, with disheveled hair, murmured while crying and laughing.

"My lady..."

Songzhi hugged the young lady distressedly. If it weren't for Concubine Shu's reminder, they...

Hua Fei turned a deaf ear and continued to mutter in a low voice.

"My tears wet my silk scarf, and my dream could not come true. Deep in the night, I could hear the singing in the front hall.

The beauty is still young, but the love is gone. She sits leaning against the incense burner until dawn.

It's a pity that beautiful women always have a tragic fate, and the imperial family is the most ruthless. (Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty, "Palace Poems")

"My Lady, please don't scare me. Young Master Nianfu also said that the general is still weak after vomiting blood. You must not fall down again."

The word "vomiting blood" brought Hua Fei back to her senses, and she said in a panic.

"You are right. I still have a brother and nephews in the future generations."

"I cannot fall."

"Songzhi, help me wash and groom myself."

"My Lady, it's getting late. What are you doing..."

"My brother always reports good news but not bad news. He suffered many injuries during the war in the northwest. Upon returning to the capital, his relief caused his old illness to relapse. In this desperate situation, I naturally have to seek help from the Emperor."

She tried her best to take one last gamble to see if the emperor still had any feelings for her.

Fu'er had covered up the fact that her brother vomited blood and fainted in the letter, and there was nothing wrong with her doing so.

Su Peisheng felt a headache when he saw Concubine Hua coming with red eyes, and hurried forward to meet her.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Hua. What brings you here?"

"Eunuch Su, please inform me that I have an urgent matter to discuss with the Emperor."

"Please wait, Your Majesty. I will go in and report."

The emperor has been getting more and more angry these days, and he knows the reason.

After Su Peisheng entered the room, he first poured the emperor a cup of tea, and then spoke with courage.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is requesting an audience outside the palace!"

The emperor paused as he was about to write his final approval on the memorial and asked, suppressing his anger.

"What is Concubine Hua doing here?"

Ninety percent of the memorials on the desk were about Nian Gengyao and his relatives and servants, many of which involved selling official positions and exploiting the people.

Every incident reflects the insatiable greed of the Nian family; every stroke is permeated with the blood and tears of the people.

How could the emperor be in a good mood when Concubine Hua came upon him at this moment?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua came here with red eyes. I dare to guess that she may have some urgent matter."

Su Peisheng received a lot of money from Concubine Hua and was not stingy with his words of help.

The emperor closed the memorial in his hand, took a few deep breaths, and gave orders in a deep voice.

"Okay, let her come in."

This was the longest time Concubine Hua had to wait among all the times she requested an audience.

Before Su Peisheng came out, Concubine Hua felt that every breath was difficult.

"Empress Hua, the Emperor invites you in."

Songzhi stuffed a purse over at the right time.

Su Peisheng reminded softly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is upset because of the events of the previous dynasty, you..."

"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for reminding me. I understand."

Concubine Hua agreed to it a dozen or so breaths ago, but in the next moment she rushed into the palace shouting.

"Your Majesty, please save my brother..."

Hearing this sound, Su Peisheng felt the purse in his hand was extremely hot.

He closed his eyes and retreated to the door.

The emperor, who was sitting at the desk, was also startled by Hua Fei's cry, and he stood up in surprise to ask.

"Hua Fei, how is my general? Please tell me in detail."

Could it be that someone leaked the news that the entire court was impeaching Nian Gengyao?

This shouldn't be the case. The people he sent to monitor the Nian Mansion didn't make any movement at all.

Concubine Hua was stunned for a moment by the emperor's address, and then she reported sadly with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I received a letter from home saying that my brother's old illness has relapsed and he is vomiting blood and unconscious."

"I beg the Emperor to send a royal physician to examine my brother."

Seeing that the emperor was still considering it, Concubine Hua, with her heart sinking to the bottom, cried heart-wrenchingly.

"Your Majesty, that is my only brother."

Concubine Shu was right, the emperor really had his eyes on the Nian family.

The illusions created by the emperor and others deceived their eyes.

How sad, lamentable and pitiful!

"Su Peisheng, General Nian has made great contributions to the country. His old illness has relapsed. Please bring the imperial physician to see me."

After the emperor gave his orders, he personally helped Concubine Hua, whose eyes were red, up and held her in his arms to comfort her.

"I thank the emperor for his concern."

For the first time, Concubine Hua felt the bone-chilling cold.

The emperor did not trust the brother and sister, and actually sent Su Peisheng to check the situation in person.
