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

Nian Gengyao opened his eyes wide, filled with pain and regret.

"Your Majesty, as long as you release Shilan, I will do anything you ask me to do!"

The emperor felt much better when he saw his pleading look.

Over the past two years or so, the frustration he felt from enduring Nian Gengyao's increasingly arrogant attitude had lessened a lot.

"Then are you ready to sacrifice yourself?" The emperor looked into Nian Gengyao's eyes and asked aggressively.

Nian Gengyao gritted his teeth.

"As long as the emperor does not punish Shi Lan, I am willing to do anything!"

Hearing this, the emperor was very satisfied.

"Very well, I will tell you what to do......"

After coming out of prison, the emperor felt refreshed.

On the second day, an autumn rain fell in Beijing and the weather suddenly turned cold.

Hua Fei had just recovered from her illness, but she caught a cold due to the sudden change in the weather.

As soon as the emperor heard that she had caught a cold, he finished his work and rushed to Yiku Palace.

"Cough cough cough."

"Your Majesty, I have caught a cold, please don't come over."

Concubine Hua's cough became much worse.

The emperor looked at her red face from coughing and asked worriedly, "Did you ask Doctor Wen to prescribe medicine?"

Concubine Hua nodded, "Doctor Wen gave me some cough medicine, I will be fine after taking it for a few days."

The emperor felt a little relieved. He looked at Concubine Hua's pale face from a few meters away, thinking that some things should perhaps be put aside for the time being.

"Don't think too much about anything and take good care of your body."

Hua Fei said: "Your Majesty, please take good care of your health."

The emperor smiled and said, "I am still waiting for you to get well. Make me something delicious."

"When I get better, I will make your favorite bamboo shoot and duck soup for Your Majesty." Concubine Hua also said with a smile.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After saying a few words, Concubine Hua started coughing violently again.

Songzhi saw it and said hurriedly, "Madam, I will get you the medicine right away."

Hua Fei covered her mouth with a handkerchief and her face turned red from coughing.

The emperor felt very sad when seeing this, but he could do nothing to help.

Just as he was about to walk over, Concubine Hua saw him and hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, please stay! I don't want to pass my illness on to you!"

Concubine Hua looked at the emperor breathlessly, her eyes full of worry.

The emperor was even more moved when he saw Concubine Hua's worried look towards him.

After so many years, this woman still cares about me so much...

He stopped walking and said anxiously: "I wish I could transfer the pain to myself!"

Concubine Hua shook her head and said weakly, "Let me bear all the pain. I just hope that the emperor is well."

The emperor's eyes were sore, "You have to be well too!"

Concubine Hua smiled. She had been ill for many days and did not wear any makeup. At this moment, she had a kind of sickly beauty that made people feel pity for her.

"I obey my orders."

The emperor actually felt his heart beating fast when he saw it!

"Don't you like riding horses very much? When you get better, I will accompany you to the grassland to ride horses!"

Hua Fei's dull eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then your Majesty, please do not break your promise."

The emperor nodded solemnly.

"I am the emperor and my words are as good as gold!"

Hua Fei smiled gently, revealing her cute little fangs.

"Then I will remember this."

Looking at Concubine Hua's bright smile, the emperor seemed to see the teenage Concubine Hua who was as bright as the morning glow many years ago.

Yes, time flies, and he has become an old man in his forties.

Concubine Hua is not a girl either.

But she still loves herself deeply.

"Okay, remember, I will do it."

Songzhi brought the medicine and gave it to Concubine Hua to drink.

Because the medicine also has a calming effect, Hua Fei fell into a deep sleep again soon after drinking the medicine.

The emperor left Yikun Palace only after he saw that she was asleep.

As soon as he left Yiku Palace, he came to the Ministry of Justice again.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Nian Gengyao was very surprised that the emperor came to see him again.

During their last conversation, he had guessed from the emperor's words that this would be their last dialogue between the monarch and his subject.

"Things have changed. You only have a few days left to live."

The emperor sat on a chair and looked at Nian Gengyao coldly.

When Nian Gengyao heard the emperor's words, he became nervous.

"Your Majesty, are you going to change your mind?"

He did regret it. He should not have relied on his achievements to become arrogant, causing the emperor to be suspicious and wary of him, and he should not have implicated Concubine Hua and the Nian family.

He looked at the emperor with bloodshot eyes and was very emotional.

"It is my fault, and I bear it all by myself. Even if you want to tear me into pieces or grind my bones to dust at the gate of the capital, I will have no complaints! I only ask Your Majesty not to punish Concubine Hua and my family! I ask Your Majesty to fulfill my selfish wish for the sake of my hard work!"

The emperor sat upright on a chair, twirling a Buddhist bead in his hand, and looked coldly at Nian Gengyao's painful begging for mercy, without any expression.

The more silent the emperor was, the more uneasy Nian Gengyao became.

He didn't know what to say so that the Emperor would not implicate Concubine Hua and the Nian clan.

He was really afraid that his family would suffer because of his stupidity.

"Now you feel regretful and scared? Humph, it's too late!"

After an unbearable silence, the emperor finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

Nian Gengyao gritted his teeth, lifted up his skirt, knelt on his knees with a plop, and kowtowed continuously.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Looking at the gray-haired Nian Gengyao, the once so arrogant man, kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to him and begging for mercy, the emperor felt even more confused.

He stood up suddenly.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have done it in the first place! If it weren't for Concubine Hua's illness, I would have killed you!"

Nian Gengyao must have been stunned.

"Shilan, are you still not well?"

The emperor snorted coldly.

"How can I get better with a brother like you?"

Nian Gengyao was stunned for a long time, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

He lowered his head, looking dejected.

"Yes, it's my fault for being such a big brother."

Nian Gengyao raised his head in frustration, with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, as long as you can calm down, I will have no complaints even if I die on the spot!"

The emperor stood there indifferently, his eyes cold.

"Don't be in a hurry to die. It's not time yet."

Nian Gengyao looked at the emperor in confusion.

"Your Majesty, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."

In response to Nian Gengyao, there was another tormenting silence.

The emperor shut up again, twisting his Buddhist beads lightly without saying anything.

Seeing him like this, Nian Gengyao hurriedly came up to him on his knees in shackles.

"Your Majesty, what should I do so that you will agree to be lenient with Shilan and forgive my family?"

"You don't have to do anything now, just live well."

Seeing that Nian Gengyao looked extremely anxious, the emperor finally said something soft.

When Nian Gengyao heard this, he was immediately surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, are you forgiving me?"

The emperor looked a little nervous.

"No, I want to tell you that you must live well before Concubine Hua gets better. Once Concubine Hua gets better, you must die."
