Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 546: So what if I'm a woman? Fight!

Since the emperor is in such a mediocre state now, I don't expect him to promote An Lingrong.

Anyway, I am in control of the government now, so why don't I issue the decree myself?

Then tell the emperor.

"Zhou Ninghai!"

Nian Shilan was sitting in the Yangxin Palace and called Zhou Ninghai in.

"I am here, what do you want, Madam?"

"Go and convey the imperial decree. Promote Concubine An in the Yanxi Palace to Concubine An, and Concubine Jing in the Suiyuxuan to Concubine Jing." Nian Shilan hesitated for a moment before letting Zhou Ninghai go.

Originally thought it was some other assignment, but when he heard it was this, Zhou Ninghai had to persuade him, saying that Nian Shilan was abusing the imperial power.

It cannot be said to be abuse. After all, An Lingrong and Jingbai did make contributions because of Concubine Wan's incident and they should be rewarded. However, this decree should be issued by the emperor, not the queen.

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Zhou Ninghai felt something was wrong when he heard this: "Your Majesty, you are at the peak of your power now. Seeing that the emperor is not concerned about state affairs, this is a rare good opportunity for you. At this moment, all the eyes of the civil and military officials are on you. You are at the center of the storm. Your Majesty, please think twice before you act."

Zhou Ninghai's persuasion was not without reason. Nian Shilan naturally understood his intention, and even Songzhi nodded beside him.

But Jin Xi supported Nian Shilan's approach: "Your Majesty, just do whatever you want. I will help you with this."

"Aunt Jinxi, how can you bear it?"

Zhou Ninghai was surprised. Although Jin Xi was experienced, how could she shut up all the civil and military officials?

"Zhou Ninghai, have you forgotten that I still have Su Peisheng? He has been with the emperor all his life, so can't we trust his words? Besides, Jing Changzai and Anpin Niangniang have both made contributions to the matter of Concubine Wan. The emperor has promised them that they should be given what they deserve, so of course they should be given. Otherwise, who will be willing to work for us in the future?"

"What Jinxi said is exactly what I meant. Zhou Ninghai, go and do it."

Nian Shilan repeated it.

Zhou Ninghai went there quickly.

After being promoted, An Lingrong and Jingbai also hurried to Yikun Palace to express their gratitude, and the ceremony was considered complete.

Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing had no objections, but Noble Lady Fucha was full of resentment. And Qi Dashi, after hearing about this, wanted to tear down the Chuxiu Palace.

"Who is Jingbai? How could his rank be higher than mine?"

Jingbai was born a nun and could not be compared with the Guaerjia family. Besides, this decree was issued by the Queen, so Qi would be even more dissatisfied if he agreed.

"I want to see the Queen! I want to see the Queen!"

Qi agreed and shouted loudly.

She didn't have to work hard, Nian Shilan came over by herself.

"Does it feel good to be inferior to others?"

Qi Da Ying was used to being domineering, so this was undoubtedly a torture for her.

"Queen, you are abusing your imperial power. Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Emperor?"

She couldn't stand the Queen's behavior, but now that the Queen was in power, perhaps only the Emperor could check and balance her.

But she was overthinking it. Not to mention the emperor's current condition, even if the emperor was still as good as before, the emperor would not say anything when Nian Shilan reported the promotion.

Mistakes should be punished and merits should be rewarded. This principle applies everywhere.

"Do you think you can really see the emperor?" Nian Shilan snorted coldly.

Not to mention meeting the emperor, Qi promised that if he could live peacefully and die in the palace in this life, it would be considered that Nian Shilan was kind-hearted.

"What do you mean? Just wait. When I get out, I will definitely tell the emperor. Nothing good will happen to you, Nian Shilan!"

Across the palace gate, Qi Ying shouted loudly.

But Nian Shilan doesn't care about anything.

But what Qi Da Yin said was right. The emperor should indeed be informed of this matter. After all, he is still the emperor now.

The emperor has been lying on the couch listlessly for several days now, and his health is getting worse day by day. As soon as you enter the palace, you can smell a strong odor of old age.

Nian Shilan felt so uncomfortable just after arriving, not to mention that Su Peisheng had to serve her all the time.

"This servant pays my respects to the Queen."

Seeing that it was Nian Shilan who came, Su Peisheng quickly made way.

"Eunuch Su, please go out and wait. I have something to say to the emperor."

At the same time, Nian Shilan also sent Jin Xi away, and it was time for these two to develop their relationship.

Nian Shilan slowly sat down beside the emperor's bed, picked up the medicine on the bedside, and fed the emperor one mouthful at a time.

"Why is the Queen here? The Queen is so busy, shouldn't she be concentrating on government affairs?"

The emperor spoke in a weak voice and even coughed twice after he finished speaking.

The emperor was not unaware of Nian Shilan's handling of state affairs these days. It was rare for her to squeeze out time to see him while she was busy handling state affairs.

"It seems that the emperor knows everything, so I don't need to hide it from the emperor. Compared with the promotion of Concubine An and Noble Lady Jing, the emperor must also know about it."

Although Nian Shilan's voice sounded gentle, for some reason, it always sounded like a knife to the emperor's ears.

The emperor nodded slowly: "You are here to inform me. The queen has always been virtuous and kind, why do I feel so heartbroken."

Maybe Nian Shilan has changed, or maybe the emperor has changed.

Nian Shilan fed the emperor a mouthful of medicine, then leaned close to his ear and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what I said a long time ago, a gentle knife can cut someone's life."

I don’t know what the emperor was thinking. He coughed violently and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even he himself was frightened, but Nian Shilan was not surprised.

"What, are you scared?"

"Could it be you?" Seeing the queen's indifference to him, the emperor was really heartbroken.

Nian Shilan would not care: "Your Majesty, please think whatever you want."

After saying that, she left.

About a month later, the surrounding small countries began to invade frequently, making the situation very uneasy.

The memorials submitted during this period are all about this matter.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?"

Nian Shilan’s intention, of course, was to send troops and crush them!

"With the strength of our Qing Dynasty, we can fight. Even if the Empress is in charge of the government, we must not let them look down on us!"

Prince Dun is a man of fighting temperament. Besides, he hasn't been to the battlefield for many years, so his hands are really itching to fight.

"Yes, my queen, we can't be afraid of them!" Lin Qi also shouted from the side.

Then, more people followed suit.

Since everyone agrees to beat him, then let’s beat him!

"Your humble servant is willing to obey Her Majesty the Queen's orders."

"Your humble servant is willing to obey Her Majesty the Queen's orders."

In the court, the voices of the generals and soldiers were deafening.

"Okay, then I will appoint Prince Dun as the General of Peace! Lin Qi as the Marshal! Everyone, wait for Prince Dun's orders! After this battle, protect our Qing Dynasty and you will be rewarded handsomely!"

"The minister obeys the order!"
