After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 171: Nian Gengyao's death is not far away

"Have."

The queen ordered Jianqiu to give the manuscript to Longkodo.

Longkodo took one look and laughed.

He looked at the queen, overjoyed.

"With this, Nian Gengyao's death is not far away!"

The queen looked bewildered, "I don't understand these things, but Uncle Longkodo has the final say."

Longkodo put the manuscripts into his sleeve pocket and bowed to the queen.

"My queen, you have helped me a lot! I was worried that I could not find evidence of Nian Gengyao's crime, and you helped me find it! In the future, I will definitely repay you for this kindness!"

The queen smiled modestly.

"I am also happy to be able to share the emperor's worries."

Longkodo left happily.

The queen looked at his receding back, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

After the New Year, it was April quickly.

Hua Fei's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was already more than six months.

The emperor came to her less and less frequently, and the last time he came was ten days ago.

That’s not all. The emperor suggested that Concubine Hua should not leave Yikun Palace on the grounds of taking care of the pregnancy.

Concubine Hua was also very obedient.

She knew very well what the emperor was doing at this moment.

In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, that is, in 1725 AD, the emperor ordered Nian Gengyao to be demoted to the general of Hangzhou.

Nian Gengyao refused to accept the decision and cursed the emperor.

The emperor was furious, and not long after, he issued another imperial decree, demoting Nian Gengyao to the position of an idle official and guarding the east gate of Hangzhou.

When this incident happened, the entire court was shaken, and those officials who had once been dependent on Nian Gengyao all distanced themselves from him.

The harem was also full of twists and turns. Those who once wanted to get close to Concubine Hua now kept their distance.

One day, the queen called Jianqiu in a refreshed mood.

"Such a big thing happened to Nian Gengyao, how can we not let Concubine Hua know? After all, they are siblings."

Jianqiu said with emotion: "That's right, Concubine Hua has been pregnant for six months, don't worry about it and make her body sick."

The Queen looked worried.

"No matter what, Concubine Hua should know. After all, you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jianqiu took the bamboo shoot chicken soup prepared by the empress and walked towards Yiku Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards.

"Aunt Jianqiu, please open it and let me check it."

The guard knew Jianqiu and spoke to her very politely.

Jianqiu said coldly, "This is something sent by the Queen, and you dare to check it!?"

The guard was terrified and bowed his head, saying, "The emperor has ordered that auntie please do not embarrass us servants!"

Jianqiu snorted and opened the lunch box.

The guard took a look and then took out a silver needle from his arms.

The silver needle was immersed in the chicken soup and then taken out, but there was no change.

The guard bowed and said, "I'm sorry for the offence. Please come in, auntie!"

Jianqiu closed the lid and strode towards the bedroom.

Just then I saw Songzhi coming out.

"Songzhi, is Concubine Hua in there?"

"Aunt Jianqiu." Songzhi stepped forward to greet her with a smile, "What brings you here?"

Jianqiu glanced at the food box in her hand and said with a smile, "This is the chicken soup that our queen made herself, and she brought it specially for Concubine Hua to taste."

"I didn't expect that Her Majesty the Queen would be so thoughtful. Thank you so much!" Songzhi took it and thanked her.

Jianqiu's expression suddenly became solemn. He stretched his head and looked towards the direction of the bedroom again and again.

Songzhi felt strange, "Aunt Jianqiu, do you have something to tell our queen?"

Jianqiu sighed, her face full of sympathy.

"Please persuade your queen. General Nian is only guarding the city gate for a while. It will be fine once the emperor calms down."

Songzhi looked confused.

"What great general is guarding the gate?"

Jianqiu covered her mouth in surprise, "Don't you know yet?"

She said in a panic, "Songzhi, just pretend you didn't hear anything. I'm leaving now."

Without waiting for Songzhi's agreement, she left quickly.

"Aunt Jianqiu, please stop right there and explain yourself clearly!"

No matter how Songzhi shouted, Jianqiu did not stop and leave.

She kept saying, "Let your queen have a good rest and don't leave Yikun Palace!"

Songzhi was so smart that she immediately realized that something was wrong.

She ran to the palace gate and glared at the guards fiercely.

"Has anything major happened in the court recently?"

The guard shook his head, "No."

Songzhi narrowed her eyes slightly and thought, even if these guards knew, they wouldn't tell anyone.

She left the Yiku Palace on the pretext of going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect tea.

After walking around, she finally understood what had happened and hurried to Yikun Palace.

Hua Fei must not be allowed to know that Nian Gengyao has been demoted, otherwise she will have a miscarriage!

Songzhi hurried to the palace gate and heard Concubine Hua's shrill cry.

"elder brother!"

Songzhi was startled and rushed to the bedroom.

At a glance, I saw Zhou Ninghai kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Zhou Ninghai rested his head on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "My queen, please take care of yourself!"

Hua Fei's eyes were red, and she leaned on the bed tiredly, "You go down."

Zhou Ninghai looked up in disbelief.

His master didn't even punish or scold him?

When Songzhi saw this scene, she knew everything.

She stepped forward, tightened Zhou Ninghai's ear, and pulled him up.

"Didn't you hear what the queen said? Get lost!"

Zhou Ninghai's ears were twisted red by Songzhi and he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Good auntie, I know I'm wrong, I'll get out of here right now!"

"roll!"

As soon as Songzhi let go of Zhou Ninghai's hand, Zhou Ninghai rolled away quickly.

Only Songzhi and Hua Fei were left in the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, please don't get angry. It's bad for your health." Songzhi walked closer to the bed and saw that Concubine Hua looked pale. She was very worried.

Wen Shichu had instructed that Concubine Hua could not disturb the fetus again, otherwise the fetus in her belly might die.

Concubine Hua closed her eyes slightly and reached out to Songzhi.

Songzhi knew that Concubine Hua had something to tell her, so she hurried forward.

"Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare delicious food for me."

Songzhi was puzzled, "Madam, haven't you had a poor appetite recently?"

Hua Fei smiled coldly, "I have a poor appetite, but for the sake of the fetus in my belly, I have to eat well."

In Jingren Palace, the Queen was practicing calligraphy leisurely while waiting for news from Concubine Hua.

All along, Concubine Hua has been favored by the emperor only because the emperor valued Nian Gengyao.

Now that Nian Gengyao has fallen, the Queen is certain that the arrogant Concubine Hua must be greatly upset.

By then, the fetus in her belly will not be able to be saved......

Thinking of this, the pen in the queen's hand moved on the paper like a swimming dragon.

In the evening, Jianqiu walked in with a grim look on her face.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua asked the imperial kitchen to prepare several dishes and sent them to Yikun Palace."

The queen stopped practicing calligraphy.

She asked in disbelief: "Nian Gengyao has been demoted to a gatekeeper, but Concubine Hua can still eat it?"

Jian Qiu was also puzzled. "I thought that Concubine Hua was just pretending. But after a trip to Yikun Palace, I found that Concubine Hua ate and drank well, and her complexion was actually good."

The Queen shook her head. "How is this possible? Hua Fei grew up with Nian Gengyao, and they have a very good relationship. How could Hua Fei not have any emotional fluctuations about Nian Gengyao's demotion?"
