When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage
Chapter 166 Showing the owl’s head to the public
A few days later.
Yikun Palace.
Nian Shilan was seriously ill and stayed indoors, but the palace was not too deserted. Moreover, the few days of rest she had were not as relaxing as it seemed to outsiders.
Instead, he did a lot of things behind the scenes.
Yixiu was under house arrest, so she took the opportunity to clear out all the people with bad intentions around Concubine Li, using the excuse that she didn't want to be disturbed due to her illness.
Although this reason seemed very far-fetched, no one dared to say anything more.
Because everyone knows that Concubine Hua has a perverse personality and acts decisively.
Moreover, when they sent people to other palaces, they were given severance pay.
Those servants were so happy about getting the money that they didn't even have time to say anything.
In the palace, Concubine Duan and Noble Lady Xin often came to visit with the two princesses.
It's not boring.
Today, in the afternoon.
Since there was nothing else to do, Concubine Duan took Wen Yi to sit in the Yikun Palace.
The two of them sat under a tree to enjoy the cool breeze, admiring the beautiful scenery while watching the Fourth Prince teaching Wen Yi to recite poetry.
The Fourth Prince recited it softly and carefully, and Wen Yi imitated him.
The two of them were shaking their heads, looking really cute.
"Sister, have you heard? The Third Prince complained to the Emperor that the Prince did not take good care of him, and the Emperor also intended to give him to the Empress to raise."
Concubine Duan put down the teacup and said lightly.
Nian Shilan chuckled, "The Queen has always wanted to raise the Third Prince, and now her wish has come true."
Seeing her indifferent look, Concubine Duan was a little confused, "Sister, aren't you surprised?"
"As the eldest son, it is natural for the Third Prince to have such ambitions and plans. Besides, Concubine Qi was on good terms with the Queen when she was alive, and it is not surprising that the Third Prince, as the eldest son, was given to the Queen to raise."
Concubine Duan looked at the Fourth Prince and whispered, "But now it seems that although the Queen was confined for three months, she got the Third Prince. I don't know if this is a blessing in disguise or was predicted."
"Whether it's a blessing in disguise or it was predicted, I don't care. Now I just hope that the baby in Lady Li's belly can be born soon."
Nian Shilan sighed, relaxed his brows and looked into the distance.
"If Concubine Li's child is a princess, the Emperor might allow Concubine Li to raise him personally. But if Concubine Li's second child is a prince, will you..."
Concubine Duan looked at Nian Shilan worriedly.
If a prince is born, Nian Shilan will definitely fight for him.
But she is weak now, how can she defend herself against the vicious queen?
Nian Shilan didn't say anything either, she had a plan in her mind.
This is also the reason why she claimed to be ill and did not leave the palace.
In another three months, Concubine Li's unborn baby will be born. If something happens to her at this time and she falls into the Queen's trap, it will be difficult for her to regain the Emperor's trust.
This is also the reason why she asked her brother to resign as soon as possible.
Because if the Nian family was standing behind her, the emperor would definitely not agree.
"Fourth brother, why don't you read anymore? Wen Yi has already memorized the poem just now."
Wen Yi raised his head, looked at Hongli with his strange little eyes, and pulled his sleeve.
Hongli seemed to come back to his senses at this moment, looked at Wen Yi and smiled gently.
"Wen Yi remembered it faster than Fourth Brother expected. Wen Yi is really smart." Hongli tapped Wen Yi's nose and praised.
When Wen Yi heard her fourth brother praising her, she started to giggle.
Then he continued to recite poems with his fourth brother.
But while Hongli was reciting poetry, he couldn't help but think of the conversation between his mother and Empress Duan just now.
If so, Empress Li gave birth to a prince.
Will my mother raise him?
After all, Empress Li is just a noble lady and must be raised by an empress.
Moreover, Empress Li was a concubine in the Yikun Palace.
It seems more likely that her mother will raise her child.
But if my mother raised that prince, would she still love me?
He didn't think he had much chance of winning, which made him even more tired.
I thought I had dealt with the third brother, but I didn't expect...
……
Nian Gengyao had already resigned from office, but his former followers and bondservants were still accomplices to him.
Now the tree has fallen and the macaques have scattered, without the protection of the big tree.
For a time, some were arrested, some were executed, some were sent to prison, some had their homes confiscated...
There are countless.
Today, a book was found that was full of flattering words towards Nian Gengyao.
Among them, they criticized the current reign title of Yongzheng as being bad, and said that emperors who used the character "Zheng" as their reign title in history all had a bad end.
Yinzhen was furious.
Because this book was written by Wang Jingqi, Nian Gengyao's former aide.
Among them, there are a lot of flattering words and articles about Nian Gengyao.
The Nian family was also reprimanded, and Nian Fu and Nian Xing were punished, but fortunately, their lives were not in danger.
However, Wang Jingqi suffered a tragic end by being beheaded in public and his head was hung at Caishikou.
Such an outcome not only made Nian Gengyao realize completely that the emperor had long been wary of his position.
I also understood more clearly how smart my sister is.
Let him avoid this disaster.
Although his life after resigning from office was not easy, it was not as glorious as the former general Wang.
But compared to the lives of my entire family, and my own life.
It is not easy to have such an ending.
It is said that after Yinzhen left the court, although he punished Nian Jia and Wang Jingqi in this way, he still felt it was not enough.
The anger remains.
After Nian Shilan knew about this, she ran to the entrance of the Yangxin Palace, pretending to cry and kneeling, begging the emperor to calm down and not implicate her brother.
He then told her how loyal his brother was to the emperor.
This matter was a frame-up by the staff.
Finally, he pretended to faint.
At the same time, he ordered Zhou Ninghai to contact the old ministers in the court to speak for his brother.
Because Nian Gengyao had resigned long ago, she made such a fuss, after all she was a royal concubine, and she was so sincere.
There were also many of Nian Gengyao's old friends in the court. As veteran officials, although they were dissatisfied, they could see that the imperial concubine had done so much, so they wrote letters to persuade Yinzhen, telling him that even if Nian Gengyao had no merits, he had worked hard.
Considering his past achievements, he was allowed to live out his old age.
With the help of the old minister contacted by Nian Shilan and the persuasion of some other ministers, Yinzhen's anger was mostly relieved.
But at this moment, something happened to Zhen Yuandao, who had always been cautious.
