An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 491 Heartbroken
"Your Majesty! It's the Emperor, the Emperor is here to see me!"
Concubine Nian was muttering something and her expression became more and more excited.
It was only then that Concubine Nian woke up from her dream because of the voice of the eunuch reporting from outside.
After realizing that it was the emperor's arrival, she no longer cared about the fact that she was weak and frail from not having eaten properly for many days, and she subconsciously ran outside. The result can be imagined.
"My queen!"
Songzhi screamed and hurriedly went over to support Concubine Nian who had fallen to the ground.
Originally, Concubine Nian was born in a family of military generals and was in relatively strong health. However, she had been accustomed to a life of luxury over the years, so even though her strong body was still there, it was inevitable that she would gain weight in middle age.
Now she has been hungry for several days in a row. Even though all of this was caused by herself, Concubine Nian did not take it to heart at all, and did not realize that she was "old".
She was still wearing clogs, and after running two steps forward, she felt her limbs become weak and she fell to the ground, with her head hit on the brick floor.
"Mother, are you okay?"
Songzhi tried her best but still couldn't lift her master up from the ground. She was angry and anxious.
"Nian Fei!"
At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from the side.
It turned out that the emperor had arrived.
Yongzheng had already walked into the yard and naturally saw all of this.
Even Yongzheng felt sad to see his beloved concubine, whom he once treated like a treasure, become so miserable.
However, the emperor came here this time not to pardon Concubine Nian, but to put an end to this farce once and for all.
So, seeing that Songzhi was unable to help Concubine Nian, Yongzheng did not go to help her himself, but gave a look to Su Peisheng who was standing beside her.
Su Peisheng is already a "shrewd man", so what is there that he doesn't understand at this time?
"Hey!"
Su Peisheng stepped forward quickly, ready to work together with Songzhi to help Concubine Nian up from the ground.
However, Su Peisheng was not young after all, and Concubine Nian had a small figure. He was not mentally prepared at first. Even though he and Song Zhi tried hard for a long time, they still failed to pull the other party up.
At this moment, not only Su Peisheng looked embarrassed, Song Zhi also saw that her master's face turned even more pale.
"You guys, go and help Concubine Nian up."
At this point, Yongzheng didn't want to blame the eunuchs around him or his former favorite concubine, but instead gave orders directly to the young eunuchs such as Xiao Xiazi who were following behind him.
After all, they were much younger than Su Peisheng, and they stepped forward together to help, and finally helped Concubine Nian up from the ground.
"Songzhi, go and help your mistress wash up. Why does she look so unhappy?"
Yongzheng was instructing Songzhi to serve Concubine Nian and was about to walk into the main hall when he realized that Concubine Nian's face looked a little too ugly.
Even though I just fell and made a fool of myself in front of everyone, it shouldn't be like this, right?
Yongzheng's gaze fell on Concubine Nian, who had remained silent since she stood up, and his eyes were full of suspicion.
This is the first time Concubine Nian has seen me since all these changes happened.
According to the other person's personality, Concubine Nian should have rushed over and started crying and making a fuss.
However, the reality was that Concubine Nian did not make any big moves. Not only did she not make a fuss towards him, she did not even bow to him.
Yongzheng hadn't noticed it just now, but now he felt that Concubine Nian was a little too "quiet".
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Yongzheng originally wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and did not speak.
Shaking his head, the emperor went to the hall first.
"Your Highness, let's go back and pack up. Aren't you eager to see the Emperor? The Emperor has come to see you, why are you so indifferent?"
While Songzhi helped Concubine Nian back to the bedroom, cleaned her wounds and re-dressed her, she also raised her own doubts.
When the emperor was not here, Concubine Nian refused to eat or drink, and she cried and howled almost every day and night.
Even so, the emperor would not come.
As a result, after waiting for so long and expecting so much, and almost ruining her body, the emperor finally arrived. However, Concubine Nian looked extremely sad.
This really made Songzhi unable to understand her master!
If it were under normal circumstances, Songzhi would not say these words.
She knew very well how to be a qualified "slave" and only needed to obey her master in everything.
What's more, someone with a strong personality like Concubine Nian doesn't need others to tell her what to do.
But times have changed. Not only has the Nian family been in trouble, but even Concubine Nian’s situation is much worse than before.
When Songzhi was taken to the Ministry of Punishment, she already knew what was going on.
But relying on her incomparable loyalty to Concubine Nian, Songzhi managed to endure the first few waves of punishments. No matter how those clever maids threatened or bribed her, she always clenched her teeth and refused to utter a word.
In fact, with those solid evidences in hand, even if Songzhi had a body of iron, she would definitely not be able to withstand Shen Xing's constant torture and intimidation.
However, before the Queen could order a strict interrogation, the Emperor suddenly spoke up and showed leniency to Songzhi, a palace maid who was close to Concubine Nian.
This move naturally left everyone confused.
However, since the emperor had spoken, the queen did not dare to go against him, no matter how reluctant she was, and in the end she could only obediently let Songzhi be released.
After returning, Songzhi was glad that she had survived the disaster, but she was afraid that her master's disaster was not over yet.
As a result, no one else came to torment them, but Concubine Nian just refused to let herself go.
Now, the emperor has come, and Concubine Nian still looks half-dead. Songzhi is really afraid that her queen's actions will anger the emperor.
"Haha, Your Majesty? Even if the Emperor comes, what can we do?"
Shaking her head, Concubine Nian’s eyes were filled with the dead silence of “there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart”.
At this moment, Su Peisheng suddenly came outside the bedroom.
"Empress Nian, I, following the Emperor's order, summon you to the main hall to meet him!"
Su Peisheng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, enough for the people inside to hear but not enough to scare them.
"Master, let's go!"
Songzhi was already standing there in a daze because she couldn't respond to what Concubine Nian said, and just at this moment Su Peisheng came over.
The emperor actually wants to summon Concubine Nian, which shows that he has not completely given up on his master!
Thinking of this, Songzhi helped Concubine Nian up while whispering encouragement to her in an attempt to motivate her.
Unfortunately, no matter how wonderful Songzhi’s words were, Concubine Nian remained unmoved.
When she met Yongzheng, Concubine Nian's expression did not change, but she still bowed and saluted the emperor.
"Please stand up."
Yongzheng waved his hand and looked at Concubine Nian with a complicated look.
After giving her a seat, Yongzheng said to Concubine Nian: "I have heard a lot of rumors these days. Now that I have come to see you, don't you have anything to say to me?"
