An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 479: Seizing the Title and Demoting the Position

"When Concubine Hui gave birth prematurely, I thought it was an accident. But after Concubine Yi gave birth, she also encountered an accident. I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why are there so many accidents in my harem?"

Yongzheng looked at Concubine Hua and said these words lightly.

Concubine Hua knew very well the reason why Shen Meizhuang gave birth prematurely.

She had always felt guilty about that incident, and although she had long forgotten about it, she suddenly stiffened when the emperor said that.

Having said that, Concubine Hua's brain was still working frantically, trying to come up with a perfect excuse.

"Your Majesty also knows that giving birth is a matter of life and death for a woman. I also encountered an accident in the past... This is something that is difficult to predict!"

Concubine Hua thought hard but could not think of an excuse to clear herself of suspicion, so she brought up her past experience again.

Why did she have a miscarriage?

Regarding this, Concubine Hua always believed that there was something wrong with the bowl of pregnancy-preserving soup that Concubine Duan gave her!

If the pregnancy-preserving medicine had not been tampered with, how could she have a miscarriage for no reason given her strong physical condition?

And that was a boy!

When Concubine Hua thought of the child who was separated from her for some reason, tears immediately flowed down her face.

Yongzheng had already prepared words of blame, but he did not expect Concubine Hua to mention her lost child.

As the other party shed tears, Yongzheng's eyes flickered and he could not continue speaking.

No one knew the real reason for Concubine Hua's miscarriage better than him.

In this matter, Yongzheng also admitted that he did owe Concubine Hua.

If not for this, it would have been impossible for Concubine Hua to tolerate all her misdeeds over the years.

It’s a pity that Nian Gengyao’s evil ambitions have become increasingly apparent.

Although Concubine Hua has been very honest recently, she is just pretending for herself!

When he thought of this, Yongzheng's original softness disappeared in an instant.

"Noble Concubine Hua, I entrusted you with important tasks because I trusted you and felt sorry for you losing your child. However, you used your power as the assistant to the six palaces to plant your own spies everywhere, and you even disrespected the Empress. After Concubine Hui and others became pregnant, you deliberately framed them several times! I know everything clearly!"

Yong Zheng looked at Concubine Hua crying in front of him with an expressionless face.

It was not until Concubine Hua cried until her makeup was smudged and she had no strength to speak anymore that he continued, "I did not hand this matter over to the Queen for trial, but summoned you to the Yangxin Palace at this time because I wanted to give you another chance. Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty... Since you have determined that I did all these things, I have no way to refute it. I just ask Your Majesty to believe that I have never wanted to harm Your Majesty. The same is true for my brother!"

Concubine Hua looked as pale as death, and now she was kneeling in front of Yongzheng.

Ever since she did those things in secret, Concubine Hua had been thinking that one day her crimes would be exposed.

Now that the emperor has revealed what she has done over the years, Concubine Hua is not actually too panicked. Instead, she has a feeling that "what is coming has finally come."

Now that things have come to this, instead of crying and making a fuss in front of the emperor and denying everything, it is better to just keep silent!

Concubine Hua avoided talking about her own affairs, but reminded the emperor again that her and Nian Gengyao's loyalty to the emperor was evident to all!

In these words, Concubine Hua's tone was sonorous and powerful.

She truly loved the emperor wholeheartedly and had never thought of doing anything to harm him.

However, those women who dared to compete with her for the emperor's favor, or those princes who were not born by her, were naturally the most disgusting existences in Concubine Hua's eyes!

"I have heard enough of these words and I don't want to hear them anymore."

Yongzheng waved his hand and Su Peisheng walked in.

"What does the emperor want?"

Su Peisheng lowered his head, quietly waiting for the emperor's next order.

He was the emperor's most trusted eunuch, and was also responsible for helping the emperor search for evidence of Concubine Hua's crimes over the years. He knew everything about those things.

When the emperor was questioning Concubine Hua earlier, although Su Peisheng was outside, he also heard everything he said clearly.

However, with his experience in the palace, he had naturally developed the ability to remain calm in the face of emergencies. At this time, Su Peisheng acted as if nothing had happened.

"Pass on my decree. Concubine Hua has failed to behave properly in front of the emperor. She has failed my grace. Her title will be revoked and she will be demoted to a concubine. She is not allowed to leave the Yikun Palace without my order."

Yongzheng issued an order to deal with Concubine Hua, but he directly stripped her of her title and also removed her position as a concubine.

Concubine Hua, as the person involved, seemed to have heard nothing and just stood there blankly.

It was not until Su Peisheng reminded her that she, who had become the "Nian Concubine", came back to her senses and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"

After saying this, Yongzheng didn't even raise his head, but just waved his hand, obviously not wanting to see him again.

Concubine Nian felt bitter and even a little desperate.

"Your Majesty, please."

Su Peisheng felt very sad to see this once favored concubine ending up like this, but he still had to remind her that it was time to leave the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

After Concubine Nian was taken away by Su Peisheng in a daze, Yongzheng finally opened his eyes and immediately picked up his pen to write an imperial edict himself.

After all, Nian Shilan was the woman the emperor had loved, so after punishing her, he was still willing to keep her by his side.

He issued an edict that Nian Shilan was not allowed to leave his palace without permission, but in fact it was also a form of "protection" for her.

Because of what happened with Nian Gengyao, when the outside world learned that Nian Shilan was demoted, they would only think that she was implicated by her brother.

As for the "numerous crimes" committed over the years, Yongzheng simply wrote them off here. From now on, whether it was the empress or others who wanted to use this to cause trouble again, they would lose the opportunity.

However, Concubine Nian, who had become "Concubine Nian", might not be able to understand Yongzheng's thoughts.

On Yongzheng's side, after secretly planning for so long with his seventeenth brother, Prince Guo, he was finally ready to take action against Nian Gengyao!

Anyway, the war in the northwest has been settled now, and whether Nian Gengyao is there or not will have little impact on the war situation.

And Nian Gengyao took the initiative to give him such a good excuse. Yongzheng felt that if he let him go again, he would be ungrateful to the grace of God!

This night, whether inside or outside the palace, was destined to be a cold and sleepless night for many people.

The next morning, when Yongzheng announced his decision on Nian Gengyao to all the civil and military officials in the court, he did not arouse any opposition.

Instead, many imperial censors immediately took out memorials one after another and began to expose Nian Gengyao's outrageous and illegal behavior in public!

After this incident, it seemed to mean that General Nian, who once had great power in the court, had completely lost his power!
