When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

Nian Gengyao reported the military situation in the northwest to the emperor from the Yangxin Palace.

No matter how respectful and humble he was, his official power was great and the people in the northwest all respected him as the King of the Northwest.

Even matters big or small could be handled without the emperor's permission.

The emperor's vigilance against him cannot be dispelled so easily.

Nian Gengyao had a worried look on his face today. Although he still had the majestic demeanor of a general, there was always a hint of worry between his brows.

Obviously, although he didn't want to face what his sister said yesterday, he remembered it in his heart.

At this moment, he was thinking deeply.

A childish voice of a boy was heard from behind.

"Uncle? Uncle?"

Nian Gengyao did not react that someone was calling him. He slowly stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a young man who was slightly shorter than him, looking at him eagerly with bright eyes.

Nian Gengyao hesitated for a moment before he reacted.

"Yes, Fourth Prince?"

Hongli nodded quickly and saluted, "Hello, uncle. Are you going to visit mother?"

Nian Gengyao was a little surprised that a child suddenly called him uncle so familiarly.

"How do you know that this general is your uncle?"

He remembered that he rarely saw the Fourth Prince.

Hongli added, "When I was young, I saw my uncle from afar at a banquet once, and I remembered him from then on. My uncle is very impressive and intimidating, so I will not make a mistake."

Although it was flattering, it didn't sound greasy or boring when spoken by a child.

It sounds much more comfortable.

Nian Gengyao smiled heartily and nodded at him.

"You remembered me after just seeing me from a distance. It seems that you and me are destined to be together."

Hongli nodded, "I have a connection with my mother, so naturally I have a connection with my uncle. Uncle, I am also going to visit my mother, so why don't we go together?"

"Okay, okay." Nian Gengyao scratched his beard and faced the child.

I can’t say I’m satisfied, but I’m not dissatisfied either.

At least he is more lively, has more tact, and can make his sister happy.

He was nice to the Fourth Prince simply because he was his sister's adopted son.

He was afraid that his sister would be lonely in the palace, so he treated the child well.

"I heard that my uncle came here from the northwest yesterday. The journey was long and bumpy. Did my uncle get some rest?"

Hongli asked with concern, which was a very normal and caring greeting.

The two of them asked and answered each other as they walked into the Yikun Palace.

Nian Gengyao advised, "Your mother is not in good health. You should remind her more often and talk to her to relieve her boredom."

Hongli cupped his hands, "Don't worry, uncle. This is natural. I will come to visit mother as soon as I am free."

Before he could finish his words, Hongli was suddenly attracted by the sneaky look of a palace maid in the distance.

The man stood by the wall, digging something secretly.

Hongli felt strange and frowned.

"Uncle, please wait a moment. I'll go see what's going on."

Nian Gengyao didn't know what he meant, and frowned with some dissatisfaction.

After all, he was the Fourth Prince's elder. While the two were talking, the Fourth Prince suddenly left.

Hongli walked forward and quietly came behind the sneaky palace maid.

"What are you doing!" Hongli asked sternly.

The palace maid was immediately startled, and the shovel in her hand slipped and fell to the ground.

The palace maid turned around hurriedly and saw that it was the Fourth Prince. She was so scared that she knelt on the ground.

He trembled as he spoke, "Fourth...Fourth Prince!"

Hongli frowned as he looked at her, and saw that she seemed to be frantically hiding something in her hands. The hem of her clothes was already completely soiled.

"What are you hiding? Take it out now."

When the palace maid heard this, she hurriedly tried to make excuses.

But Hongli didn't even wait for her to argue. He stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

The soil in her hand fell to the ground.

Mud?

Nian Gengyao stepped forward and saw Hongli grabbing a palace maid and giving her a lecture. He frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"What's going on?" he said.

Hongli said quickly, "Uncle, I saw this man sneaking around here and I don't know what he was doing, so I came to find out what was going on."

"I didn't, my servant," the maidservant said cunningly as if she had remembered something to say.

"I see that the soil here is more fertile, so I plan to dig it up and plant some flowers and plants in the side hall."

But Hongli didn't even think about it and uttered two words with a gloomy face.

"lie!"

Then he thought of something and said, "Side hall? Are you from Concubine Li's palace? What's your name?"

Seeing that the matter was about to be exposed and his master was not around.

The gloomy and cold look of the Fourth Prince is simply frightening.

The palace maid was so frightened that she was about to cry out loud, and whispered.

"Reply, reply to Fourth Prince, my name is Qingshuang, I am from Concubine Li's palace, I am..."

Hongli said sternly, "Tell me, why are you digging mud here? If you want to plant flowers and grass, you can go to the Imperial Garden to dig it. If you can't do it, you can ask someone to deliver it to the greenhouse. Don't give me these excuses."

Nian Gengyao has always been a general who is in charge of the lives of tens of thousands of people and the safety of the city.

Naturally, he was disdainful of such things, and he felt that the Fourth Prince had never seen the world and was still a child, yet he actually cared about these things.

He was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't expect that it was this act of disdain that he showed.

I actually dug up the series of events that followed.

"I am digging mud here under the order of Madam Feng Li. As for what Madam Li is going to do, I really don't know." Qingshuang explained, sobbing softly in fear.

But Hongli obviously didn't believe it and was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"You don't know what to do, why are you crying? Tell me, or the Imperial Concubine will not forgive you."

Everyone in the palace knew how cruel the Imperial Concubine was, and Qingshuang saw that the truth could not be concealed.

I had no choice but to kowtow and say everything.

"Fourth Prince, please spare me. It is my fault. Madam Li threatened me to come here to get some mud and give it to Madam Li when I return. Madam Li will use the mud..."

"what is it used for?"

"To curse the Imperial Concubine."

When Qingshuang said this, not only the Fourth Prince's face changed drastically.

Nian Gengyao was even more furious, staring at the little palace maid in front of him with wide eyes.

"What did you say!" he said.

The general's aura, once he became majestic, looked as if he was ready to kill someone.

Qingshuang knelt on the ground and trembled.

Hongli frowned, clenched his hands tightly behind his back, and spoke a few words almost through gritted teeth.

"Where are the people now!"

"Replying to Fourth Prince, Madam Li is waiting in the side hall."

Hongli turned around and walked towards the side hall.

The eunuch standing guard at the door saw the entire scene.

At first I didn't think there was anything strange, but suddenly I caught a glimpse of a figure in eunuch's clothes in a corner. He flashed past the entrance of Yiku Palace and seemed to be running towards the other side.

The young eunuch's eyes rolled around, as if he felt something was not right.

He quickly ran into the main hall and told Miss Fudong what he had seen.

Fu Dong was surprised, "This is true, Xiao Yinzi, did you see it clearly?"

Xiao Yinzi slapped his thigh and said, "My dear, I was absolutely right, but Qingshuang said it herself, and the eunuch who ran over looked like he was going to give a tip-off. Anyway, I don't think he is a good person."

After hearing this, Fudong became a little anxious.

"What should I do? The concubines haven't come out yet, and the imperial concubine is still talking."

Fu Dong stood on tiptoe, thinking about how to tell the imperial concubine.

Xiao Yinzi patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up, I have to go back to guard the door. If anything happens, I'll report it to you."

"Okay, Xiao Yinzi, go quickly and watch carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Fu Dong finished speaking.

At the same time, Hongli and Nian Gengyao had already entered the door of the side hall.

Hongli had Qingshuang restrained and told someone to call Madam Li out.

Mo Hua ran out quickly upon seeing this, bowed and said, "How are you, Fourth Prince? Hello, General. I don't know what Fourth Prince is doing, but the Imperial Concubine has ordered that Concubine Li is taking care of her pregnancy and no one is allowed to disturb her."

Hongli said coldly, "I will not disturb Lady Li. I ordered Lady Li to come out quickly."

Although Mrs. Li didn't know what was going on at the moment, when she saw Qingshuang being restrained, she naturally knew what was going on.

He pulled Ling'er to hide behind a column and looked at that side nervously and worriedly.

While whispering, "Hey, why are these people here all of a sudden? What do they do? Why do they look so ferocious? They are holding Qingshuang. Ling'er, do you think Qingshuang has been captured by them?"

Mrs. Li was extremely worried and her eyes were only looking ahead.

He didn't notice that Ling'er, who was standing behind him, had changed her expression.

Ling'er exerted force on her hands and pushed Mrs. Li out.

"Ouch!"

Mrs. Li lost her balance and fell on the stairs.

Her voice naturally attracted the attention of the Fourth Prince.

He looked towards her immediately.

Judging from her age and clothes, there is no such nanny in the palace.

Hongli soon became convinced that this was Mrs. Li.

He glanced at the servant behind him, and the servant immediately understood what he meant and stepped forward to grab Madam Li.

"Oh, let me go. How dare you disrespect this lady? Do you know who this lady is..." Madam Li was still throwing a tantrum, not caring who was in front of her.

When Nian Gengyao heard her call herself "Madam", he remembered what the palace maid had just said.

It was a Lady Li who was cursing her own sister.

Today, this person is still so naughty.

He stepped forward and kicked the man to the ground without mercy.

Even the Fourth Prince was a little surprised. He did not expect his uncle to act so decisively.

Mrs. Li was kicked and fell to the ground, gasping for breath and groaning.

The noise outside naturally alarmed Concubine Li inside.

She ran out in a hurry and saw her mother lying on the ground, not knowing what had happened.

"This... Fourth Prince, what on earth happened?" She did not blame him immediately, but quickly ordered someone to help her mother up.

Mo Hua stood behind her and reminded her, "My lady, the man standing next to the Fourth Prince is the Imperial Concubine's brother, General Nian."

Although Concubine Li is a girl, she has some understanding of General Nian.

Her expression quickly froze on her face. "It turned out that General Nian had arrived. I failed to welcome him. But I'm afraid it's unacceptable for him to break into my palace and kick my mother without any explanation."

Hongli bowed, "Madam Li, my uncle and I really didn't mean to disturb you. We just caught a palace maid acting suspiciously outside and asked her about it. She said that she was following Madam Li's orders and dug mud from the corner of my mother's wall to give it to Madam to curse her."

After saying this, Concubine Li immediately took a breath of cold air.

He looked at his mother in disbelief.

Mrs. Li was rubbing her stomach at this moment. She was so dizzy from being kicked that her mind was no longer clear.

Nian Gengyao was a military general. If he kicked her, not to mention an old woman over fifty years old, even an adult man might not be able to escape unscathed.

Hongli continued speaking.

"This matter concerns the safety of my mother, so I have to investigate. Please don't blame me."

Concubine Li calmed herself down and shook her head, "How could this be? The Concubine and I have always had a good relationship. There must be some misunderstanding. My mother would never do such a cruel thing."

Nian Gengyao sneered and said, "This general doesn't believe any of your excuses. If that's the case, then send someone to search!"

He did not bring anyone into the palace, so there were only people around the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince also had this intention, and he bowed and said, "Madam Li, I apologize for the offense. I will just ask my servants to search Madam's room, and will not disturb you."

Concubine Li gritted her teeth. Although she was reluctant, the Fourth Prince had already said so.

Besides, if she didn't let it go, she would be accused of being guilty and not daring to do it.

So he relaxed and said, "If the Fourth Prince wants to search, then let's search."

At this moment, Ling'er's voice suddenly came from the room.

"You can't search or look here..."

Then there were sounds of arguing again.

The servant beside the Fourth Prince ran out of the room in a hurry, holding something like a rag doll in his hand.

"Fourth Prince, I found this."

When they saw it, everyone gasped.

Especially Nian Gengyao, looking at that Wan Yi, his silver teeth were about to break.

Waiting for Madam Li, she was furious, "How dare you, a slut, perform such a filthy trick in the palace! How dare you curse the Imperial Concubine."

As he said this, he walked forward and was about to take action.

The Fourth Prince gritted his teeth and took the doll with trembling hands.

Written on it was my mother's maiden name, and it was covered with silver needles.

He had never been so angry before. This ignorant man actually dared to attack his mother.

"Impossible, Fourth Prince, General Nian, please calm down. This thing definitely could not have come out of my palace. My mother would never do this."

Although Concubine Li didn't believe it, the facts were right before her.

But she could only deny it because she really didn't know it happened.

"The evidence is there, why are you still trying to argue? Today, I will punish you, the evil woman, on behalf of the Emperor!"

As Nian Gengyao said this, he was about to strangle Madam Li to death with his own hands.

His eyes turned red with anger and he was about to take action in the next second.

At this moment, a familiar voice was heard.

"stop!!!"
