A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

Chapter 35 The Legend of Zhen Huan: Su Yunyi 34

The emperor was already dissatisfied with Longkodo and Nian Gengyao, and unexpectedly, an opportunity arose to provoke his anger.

Nian Gengyao misspelled "朝前夕惕" as "夕惕朝乾," which enraged the emperor, who dismissed Nian Gengyao from his post.

Nian Shilan panicked completely and, with Mo Yaqi, knelt outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day to beg for mercy. Unfortunately, Nian Shilan underestimated the Emperor's determination to punish Nian Gengyao.

Zhen Huan was also very dissatisfied with the Emperor. It was clear that Ming Shilan was an accomplice in harming her child, and now that Nian Gengyao had fallen, the Emperor had not punished Nian Shilan.

How could Zhen Huan let the opportunity of Nian Shilan's low point pass by? She quickly arranged for Consort Cao to report Nian Shilan, but Consort Cao had already been warned by Su Yunyi, so how could she fall for Zhen Huan's trick?

Consort Cao was punished by Nian Gengyao, but Consort Nian Shilan was still the one Consort had figured out. The Emperor had feelings for Nian Shilan. Now that everyone was pushing Nian Shilan down, once these things were over, the Emperor would remember his feelings for Nian Shilan. What good would come of betraying Nian Shilan?

Zhen Huan was at a loss as to what to do when she saw that Consort Cao was not falling into the trap.

Yixiu couldn't sit still any longer. When Nian Shilan was favored, she had been disrespectful to her. Now, it was impossible for her to let Nian Shilan go. She originally wanted to get Zhen Huan and Su Yunyi to take action, but Zhen Huan and Su Yunyi didn't make a move at all.

Yi Xiu couldn't resist taking action.

On this day, when paying her respects, Yixiu found Consort Li behind her back. Ever since Nian Gengyao was dismissed by the Emperor, Consort Li was very afraid of being punished by the Emperor, and she was so nervous that she fell seriously ill.

It's quite unusual to have Consort Anri here today.

When Consort Cao arrived at Jingren Palace and saw Consort Li, she had a bad feeling. She then remembered that when she was advising Nian Shilan, Consort Li was usually not around. Nian Shilan was also worried that Consort Li, with her big mouth, would talk nonsense.

Although Consort Li is unlikely to say anything detrimental to her, the Emperor will definitely become suspicious of her. Now we need to find a way to dispel the Emperor's suspicions about her.

Today, when paying her respects, Yixiu certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to mock Nian Shilan, and proceeded to openly and subtly ridicule her.

Consort Li remained silent for a while, then knelt down in fear.

She recounted in detail how Yu Ying'er poisoned Zhen Huan, and even pointed out that Consort Hua was the mastermind behind it all.

Next, Consort Li revealed the charges that Consort Yi had leveled against Consort Hua, such as framing Shen Meizhuang for faking her pregnancy and causing the death of Consort Chun, among other things.

The Empress sat at the head of the table, her face grave, her gaze fixed on Cao Qinmo. Consort Li was brainless, while Cao Qinmo enjoyed Nian Shilan's greater trust.

Yixiu said sternly to Cao Qinmo, "Noble Lady Cao, you have served Consort Hua for many years, what do you have to say?"

Cao Qinmo was a little nervous when the Empress questioned her, but remembering that Consort Li had not revealed her affairs, Cao Qinmo did not panic in the face of the Empress's threat.

Cao Qinmo rose and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I was unaware of this."

Zhen Huan certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity to bring down Consort Hua. After all, Consort Cao was Nian Shilan's "strategist," and she couldn't help but add fuel to the fire: "Even if Sister Cao doesn't think about herself, she should think about Princess Wenyi. I've seen how Consort Hua treats you."

Seeing that everyone was pressuring her, Consort Cao quickly retorted, "Your Majesty, Consort Nian has been very kind to me and has even bestowed a large dowry upon Princess Wenyi. I know nothing about what Consort Li is talking about."

Seeing that Consort Cao wanted to shirk all responsibility, Consort Li quickly said, "How could you not know? You're the one who usually gives Consort Hua advice..."

Cao Qinmo interrupted Consort Li, saying, "I don't know how I offended Consort Li, that she would slander me like this."

Then, Cao Qinmo knelt down before the Empress.

"I am innocent! Your Majesty must investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise I will be unjustly accused."

Cao Qinmo spoke and cried, tears streaming down her face, and the scene was in a state of chaos. Yixiu was also very troubled, not expecting that Consort Cao would not fall for it, but Consort Li was enough.

Just then, Consort Hua burst in, saw Consort Li and Noble Lady Cao kneeling on the ground, glanced at Noble Lady Cao, then kicked Consort Li to the ground and shouted angrily, "You wretch!"

Seeing Nian Shilan's audacity, Yixiu realized that the Nian Shilan of today was no longer the one with Nian Gengyao. She shouted, "How dare you! How can Jingren Palace tolerate such a lack of manners?"

Nian Shilan looked at the Empress with disdain and said arrogantly, "I have been presumptuous many times. I have more than just Nian Shi. I also have Mo Yaqi."

After a pause, Nian Shilan scanned the concubines present one by one.

Nian Shilan then looked at Consort Li and shouted, "You vile woman, how dare you betray me! If it weren't for me, you would only be a consort, a consort without children. Who was it that tried so hard to please me back then? I trusted you so much back then."

Yi Xiu said sternly, "Did everyone hear that? This is what Consort Hua herself said. Consort Hua and Consort Li were close in the past, so what Consort Li said should be credible."

Then Yixiu, without giving Nian Shilan a chance to speak, said: "Jianqiu, go and inform the Emperor that Jiang Fuhai, you should take men to arrest the servants of Yikun Palace and imprison them in the Shenxing Division."

Nian Shilan realized she had said the wrong thing. Indeed, people are prone to making mistakes when they are extremely angry. Afraid of implicating Moyaqi, she said nothing more and left without looking back.

Nian Shilan caused a huge scene at Jingren Palace, leaving a mess behind. Yixiu, not caring about the other concubines, dismissed them.

Cao Qinmo felt that she couldn't get involved in this matter and had to explain things to the Emperor. On her way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Cao Qinmo silently considered how to extricate herself from the situation.

In Jingren Palace, Yixiu was thinking about what had just happened. She had already instructed Jianqiu to report the matter to the Emperor, and this time Nian Shilan would not escape this calamity.

Jianqiu entered Jingren Palace and said softly, "Your Majesty, Consort Cao has gone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Yixiu smiled and said, "Good, the more people there are, the more likely the Emperor will be to convict Lady Nian. But even if Consort Cao reveals Lady Nian's affairs now, it will only be icing on the cake."

Upon returning to the palace, all the concubines paid close attention to this matter, focusing their attention on the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
