Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

At this time, Nian Xiyao was serving as the governor of Guangdong. He was quite surprised to receive the letter from the palace.

Nian Shilan had always had a good relationship with Nian Gengyao. Although she was quite close to him, they rarely exchanged letters.

He had received this letter a few days ago and had also ordered people to investigate the situation in the capital. However, as the news continued to come in, he felt more and more uneasy.

At the same time, he was also glad that Nian Shilan knew that Nian Gengyao was unreliable and knew to bypass Nian's residence in Beijing and send the letter directly to him.

He was still trying to determine the credibility of the news in the letter, but when he heard that the emperor wanted the Nian family and the Tong family to be on good terms, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He made arrangements overnight, secretly changed into casual clothes, and rushed to the capital with only a few people.

When Nian Xiyao returned to the capital, the first thing he did was to beat Nian Gengyao up.

Although Nian Gengyao was a great general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, when the two of them practiced martial arts together, Nian Gengyao had wounds from the battlefield and was no match for the angry Nian Xiyao.

He was at a disadvantage, suffered a loss, and was hit several times.

In the end, Nian Gengyao, with an unconvinced look on his face, was grabbed by the collar and dragged into the study.

The servants in the house were still sighing that this man was secretive and no one knew his origins. He dared to offend the general and might never leave the Nian Mansion again.

The two chatted in the study all night long, and then Shen Meizhuang received a message inviting her to the Yiku Palace for a chat.

Shen Meizhuang curled her lips. Although she was one grade younger than Nian Shilan, she shouldn't always be like this, being summoned at will and dismissed at will!

Let her experience it someday, Nian Shilan coming to her Qixiang Palace in person!

Having said that, this should be news from the Nian Mansion. If her proposal is rejected, they probably won't look for her, and she will have nothing to do.

But she didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly. If she remembered correctly, her eldest brother should be working in another place!

With all kinds of questions in mind, Shen Meizhuang stepped into the Yiku Palace.

At this time, Nian Shilan was frowning. She didn't expect that what Concubine Ning said was actually true. The more she thought about it, the more choked up she became.

The solution her eldest brother proposed was that it was not so easy to retire. Even if he submitted his resignation, the emperor would not allow it. The only way was to make Nian Gengyao unable to lead the troops.

The only way to do this is to break Nian Gengyao's legs.

Excuses such as old illness or being sick are not acceptable. The emperor will definitely send a royal physician to diagnose the patient, and may even have him stay in Nian's mansion until he is cured.

If the illness is false, he might be charged with deceiving the emperor, which would make him even more unhappy.

Just thinking about the fact that the brother who was so high-spirited on the battlefield would become unable to walk in the future and even have to rely on others to survive, it would not only break his wings, but also destroy his hope of survival.

I'm afraid that with his arrogance, even if he were alive, he would become a walking corpse.

When he saw Shen Meizhuang, his emotions instantly grew stronger, and tears of grievance began to fall.

"Why do you always bring me bad news every time you come? I really hate you, do you know that?"

Shen Meizhuang nodded. This was true. Either she was asked to plot against the queen, drug the queen, and drive her crazy, or she was asked to confront the queen mother, or even let her brother retire.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but laugh sadly when she thought about the purposes of her visits. At that moment, she had the illusion that she was inferior to others.

Shrinking her neck, she said in a weak voice, "My Lady, what has caused you so much sadness? It seems my sister didn't do anything."

Her neck stiffened, refusing to admit that all these troubles were caused by her.

You can be softer in your attitude, but you cannot admit it in your words.

Nian Shilan couldn't help but choke and glared at Shen Meizhuang fiercely: "My brother's legs are about to be broken, and you still say you didn't offend me."

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but smile. Compared to the execution of the entire family, it was just a broken leg. She saved their family, okay?

If nothing had happened to Nian Gengyao, then nothing would have happened to the Nian Mansion, and Nian Shilan could still enjoy her wealth and glory in the palace. How could she be blamed?

Shen Meizhuang was indignant and ignored her, sitting directly on the chair that Songzhi brought.

Nian Shilan took the letter out of the box, held it in his hand, and said to Shen Meizhuang with a serious expression: "This is a letter from home. Although my second brother has retired from the army, my eldest brother is still an official in the court. In the letter, my eldest brother stated that he wants to make a deal with you."

Shen Meizhuang nodded: "I'm all ears!"

Nian Shilan: "If in the future, our Nian Mansion stands on your side and supports your son to inherit the throne, what benefits will our Nian Mansion gain?"

Shen Meizhuang lowered her head and thought for a while, then paced around the room a few times until Nian Shilan said, "You are impatient." Shen Meizhuang spoke slowly,

"I'm taking a huge risk in revealing this to you. Although I don't expect anything in return, that's no reason for you to rely on me.

The general retired from the army and returned to the countryside. That was because the emperor was afraid. What does it have to do with me? Let me make it clear in advance that I don’t owe you anything, nor do I owe anything to your Nian Mansion.

Nian Shilan didn't expect that after waiting for such a long time, she would get such a result.

"You--you," he was so angry that he didn't know how to refute.

Then, Shen Meizhuang changed the subject: "Who can tell what will happen in the future?

If my son is incompetent and has no talent, I will personally cut off his path to becoming an emperor without anyone else's intervention."

Nian Shilan was surprised, but seeing the other party's serious expression, she knew that she was not joking. At least what she said at this moment was extremely serious.

She didn't understand why the other party had such a terrible idea. As a mother, how could she not wish the best for her son? She actually said that she would personally cut off the road to becoming an emperor.

Although shocked, Nian Shilan softened her attitude as she needed help from someone.

"I know you are smart. I will take you as my sister. From now on, I will let you walk freely in the palace. In this way, you are also a relative of the Nian family. You can't just stand by and watch the Nian family perish without helping them."

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "Walking sideways, do you think I'm a crab?"

A joke eased the atmosphere in the room a lot.

Then, Shen Meizhuang gave Nian Shilan another reassurance: "You don't have to be so pessimistic. Your brother may be a little anxious and can't think of a better solution.

But I do have a few suggestions, would you like to hear them?"

Shen Meizhuang raised her eyebrows and looked over with amusement.

When Nian Shilan heard this, she quickly grabbed the other person's sleeve and pulled him to sit on the bed.

"You and I have worked together so many times. When have I ever failed to trust you? Tell me now!"

Shen Meizhuang stretched out three fingers again.

Nian Shilan frowned at this and said, "Are these three fingers of yours made of gold? You always have these three fingers. It makes me very angry."

Shen Meizhuang retracted her fingers awkwardly.
