Nian Gengyao won a battle in the northwest, but accidentally fell off his horse when returning to the capital.

The celebration banquet originally prepared by the emperor could not be held, so Concubine Hua immediately ran to the Yangxin Palace to ask the emperor to send an imperial physician.

The emperor was used to pretending to be affectionate, so after comforting Concubine Hua, he sent three imperial doctors to treat Nian Gengyao last year.

After the imperial physician returned to the palace to report, the emperor was visibly excited.

The emperor had been treating Nian Gengyao as a serious threat for a long time, but he did not expect that he would break both legs when he fell off his horse. Even if Nian Gengyao recovered, it would be very difficult for him to walk normally.

That night, the emperor summoned Fang Chunyi to drink and have fun, enjoying his moment of victory.

When the emperor was drunk, he suddenly said, "Nian, I have to be on guard."

Fang Chunyi's face was stunned for a moment, but his body had no reaction at all, as if he hadn't heard it.

However, three days later, the Fang family joined forces with several military officers to impeach Nian Gengyao.

In a short period of time, Nian Gengyao and the Nian family were investigated to the root of the matter, and even Concubine Hua was implicated.

Among them, Nian Gengyao was listed with dozens of serious crimes. All the ministers asked the emperor to sentence Nian Gengyao to death.

Because Nian Gengyao was not as presumptuous as he was at the celebration banquet in his previous life, and Nian Gengyao was no longer a threat.

Considering that Nian Gengyao had been loyal to him for so many years and that his merits outweighed his faults.

In the end, the emperor ordered Nian Gengyao to be dismissed from his official position and his assets to be confiscated.

Nian Gengyao's father, Nian Xialing, also proposed to retire and return home, and the emperor thought about it and agreed to his request.

The events outside the Nian family palace came to an end. In this life, at least Nian Gengyao saved his life and the Nian family also survived.

In the palace, Fang Chunyi uncovered Concubine Hua's three major crimes, including buying and selling official positions, killing Fuzi, and framing Shen Meizhuang for a fake pregnancy.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, the emperor still took into consideration their old friendship and felt guilty towards Concubine Hua.

She was stripped of her title as Concubine Hua and demoted to a noble lady, but was still allowed to live in the main hall of the Yiku Palace.

Nian Shilan accepted the order with tears in her eyes, the arrogance and domineeringness in her body had long gone.

The Queen wanted to take Nian Shilan's life when she was in a low point. When Nian Shilan found out, she left a suicide note and prepared to commit suicide.

Nian Shilan was rescued by the emperor who came rushing over. The emperor felt even more guilty when he saw the suicide note that Nian Shilan had already known Huan Yixiang's secret but did not blame him.

Upon learning that someone had poisoned Nian Shilan and intended to kill her, the emperor was furious and immediately ordered that Nian Shilan be named Huapin.

The Queen was so angry that she fell down with a headache, and for a while the power of the palace fell into the heads of Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing.

Huapin Nian Shilan regained her former favor for a while, and no one dared to talk to her anymore.

Fang Chunyi has now become a nobleman because of his contribution in reporting Nian Gengyao by the Fang family in the previous dynasty.

Seeing that Nian Shilan has regained her favor, Fang Chun wants to shrink her neck and avoid disaster, but Nian Shilan does not want to do as she wishes.

When paying respects, he made things difficult for Fang Chunyi at every turn, and even summoned him to the Yikun Palace for a discussion on some pretext.

The emperor felt guilty towards Nian Shilan and let her do what she wanted without caring.

Huang Guiquan, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has received huge benefits from Nian Shilan over the years.

Although the Nian family is not as strong as before, Huang Guiquan still regards Nian Shilan as his priority because of the benefits and distant kinship.

Fang Chunyi saw that his share of allowance was deducted and that his daily expenses were not enough for a nobleman, so he asked the queen for help, but the queen was powerless to help.

However, this difficult time did not last long, as Fang Chunyi drowned in the Thousand Carp Pond.

Everyone thought that it was Nian Shilan who did it, and the emperor thought so too, so his favor for Nian Shilan faded a little.
