An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

As the emperor angrily denounced Nian Gengyao for breaking the law and disrespecting the emperor in the previous dynasty, he dismissed him from his post as governor-general of Sichuan and Shaanxi and demoted him to Hangzhou as a garrison general.

The ministers of the previous dynasty all knew that the emperor had tolerated Nian Gengyao for so long, but now he could no longer tolerate it!

As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Moreover, Nian Gengyao was arrogant and domineering in his daily life, and the evidence of his crimes accumulated in secret was countless.

Therefore, there was no need for anyone else to push behind the scenes, and naturally there were plenty of censors who came forward to impeach.

On the other hand, Yongzheng had previously summoned Nian Shilan to the Yangxin Palace late at night for a secret talk.

Although no one knew the content of their conversation, as soon as daybreak came, Su Peisheng immediately followed the emperor's order to demote Concubine Jianghua to Concubine Nian, strip her of her title, and announce the imperial decree of house arrest to all the six palaces.

When the news spread, everyone, including the queen, was confused.

No one understood what had happened that would cause the emperor to banish his former concubine to the cold palace overnight.

The Queen's first reaction, despite being surprised, was naturally one of ecstasy.

"How many years have passed? She, Nian Shilan, has actually come to this day! She really is asking for trouble!"

In the inner hall of Jingren Palace, after sending Su Peisheng away, the Queen asked Jianqiu to do her makeup while the smile on her face never disappeared.

Jianqiu could see that the Queen was in a really good mood, so she immediately told her the news she had learned from the previous dynasty.

After learning that the emperor had publicly rebuked Nian Gengyao and demoted him, the empress immediately showed a look of understanding.

"No wonder the emperor suddenly punished Nian. It turned out to be because of Nian Gengyao? Yes, that's perfectly normal!"

The queen thought she had found the reason and just breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt something was not right.

"My lady, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the queen's smile suddenly stop, Jianqiu, who was combing her hair, was still a little confused.

"Although this seems to be correct, based on my understanding of the emperor, I still feel that it is a little strange!"

Although the emperor was headstrong and conceited, and became increasingly autocratic as he ascended the throne, the empress had been with him since they were in the prince's palace, and she knew Yongzheng's temperament very well.

No matter how cold-hearted the emperor was, he should not punish Nian Shilan so severely just because of Nian Gengyao, because she had caused him many years of pain!

Although it was reasonable that she disliked Concubine Nian, the Queen always felt that such a severe punishment was a bit like an attempt to cover up the truth...

"My Lady, should we send someone to find out what's going on in various places?"

Jianqiu felt that the queen's thoughts made sense, and immediately asked her about her next plan.

"No, let's not do that for now."

The Queen thought for a moment and shook her head. "At this critical moment, if I do something and the Emperor finds out, wouldn't that be just self-defeating?"

The benefits of knowing the emperor were fully demonstrated at this time. The queen understood that Yongzheng would definitely take this opportunity to clean up the followers of Nian Gengyao from the previous dynasty, but this did not mean that the other party would relax their vigilance on matters in the harem.

What's more, even if the emperor is not interested, there is still a empress dowager sitting above him!

Although she and the Queen Mother are close relatives, the "accident" that An Lingrong encountered during childbirth may have made the Queen Mother more suspicious.

At this juncture, the queen knew that less trouble was better.

"Too."

Jianqiu always obeyed the Queen's arrangements unconditionally, and nodded silently at this time.

……

"My lord, this is what happened..."

In Yonghe Palace, after listening to Fang Ruo's report, An Lingrong's face did not show any joy.

After waiting for so long, the countdown to the fall of the Nian family has finally begun.

If it was before, An Lingrong wouldn't have been too affected by this.

Let’s put Concubine Nian aside for now. Nian Gengyao had it all his own fault and no one else was to blame.

However, Nian Shilan had always been arrogant and domineering. Not only did he make many enemies in the palace, but he also caused complaints from the concubines. It was no wonder that he was unpopular.

However, An Lingrong had just made up her mind to use Nian Shilan to check and balance the Queen. However, before she could tell Zhen Huan about this idea and ask her to advise the Emperor, the situation in the Nian family had already changed.

At this point, all of An Lingrong's original plans were overturned.

In this case, how can she feel relaxed?

"My Lord, you don't seem very happy?"

Fang Ruo also keenly noticed that An Lingrong did not show any joy after hearing the news, and immediately felt a little puzzled.

That concubine was not a good person. Even when she was still in favor, she dared to openly confront the queen and at the same time did her utmost to suppress those concubines who were valued by the emperor.

An Lingrong had also suffered a lot at the hands of the other party. Now that Nian Shilan has fallen from power, it should be a good thing for everyone!

"But he is just a poor man in the palace."

An Lingrong shook his head.

She was not intentionally showing her "compassion", but judging from their experiences alone, none of the women who endured in the palace had it any better than anyone else.

Concubine Nian has fallen into such a state. No matter whether she will have a chance to make a comeback in the future or will be completely forgotten, there is no point in An Lingrong continuing to add insult to injury.

"My lady, Concubine Xin is here to pay her respects to you!"

At the same time, Liuyun came to inform An Lingrong that Concubine Xin was here.

Ever since An Lingrong gave birth to her child, Xin Changzai, who lived with her in Yonghe Palace, has come to visit her extra frequently.

Moreover, Concubine Xin did not come over to say useless gossip, but instead passed on all her experiences and insights in raising her daughter to An Lingrong.

Although the little princess is still being raised in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace, even if she comes back in the future, she will be accompanied by a large number of palace maids and nannies.

But since this was a kind gesture from Concubine Xin, An Lingrong simply accepted it.

"Let her in."

An Lingrong knew that although Xin Chang came to her this time under the pretext of "paying her respects", what she wanted to say was probably no different from what Fang Ruo said.

But she didn't mind and asked Liuyun to release the person.

"I pay my respects to the Majesty!"

As soon as Xin Changyi came in, she greeted An Lingrong respectfully and did not ignore the etiquette just because they had a close personal relationship.

"Xin Chang is here, please stand up without any formalities."

An Lingrong nodded and motioned for Fangruo to move a chair for the other person to sit on.

"Your Majesty, something happened to the person in Yikun Palace! I'm afraid you already know about it!"

Just as An Lingrong had thought before, Concubine Xin immediately told An Lingrong a joke about Concubine Nian's family with a beaming smile.

But when Xin Chang saw that there was no smile on An Lingrong's face, she realized belatedly that An Lingrong did not seem to be happy about it.
