An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Do you have anything else to say to me?"

Faced with the questions from Yongzheng, Concubine Nian looked dazed for a moment.

What she heard was not the other party's distant inquiries, but affectionate care.

Unfortunately, after just a moment, Concubine Nian came back to her senses from her fantasy.

Returning to reality, Concubine Nian looked up, only to see the emperor staring at her expressionlessly.

"Concubine Nian, the Queen has told me everything you have done over the years. The reason why I did not express my opinion in public is not only because you have served me for so many years, but also because your Nian family has made great contributions to the court. However, I never thought that my tolerance of you and my indulgence of your brother Nian Gengyao would lead to you becoming even more aggravated and showing no remorse!"

Yongzheng also felt the complicated look from Concubine Nian.

For a moment, Yongzheng's heart began to panic.

But the empress dowager's words were still fresh in his ears. Although the queen did not continue to give him advice, all kinds of voices were heard in the court.

The emperor knew all of this.

It has been delayed for so long, no matter what, he should finally put an end to this matter.

One of the reasons why he had to come to Yikun Palace was because the emperor wanted to see if Nian Shilan had anything to say in his defense.

If there is, he may not be able to show some leniency...

However, when the time came, Nian Shilan still had an attitude of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water".

Her "bad" attitude not only did not make the emperor feel more sympathy for her, but instead aroused a nameless anger.

"I would like to ask the Emperor first."

Because she hadn't eaten properly for many days, Concubine Nian's voice sounded extremely weak.

However, things have come to this point, and Concubine Nian does not intend to use these to win the king's mercy.

She just looked at Yongzheng with an extremely calm gaze, hoping to get an answer from him.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Yongzheng waved his hand, looking very tired.

"I just want to ask Your Majesty, in your opinion, the punishment of my brother and me is... deliberate, or is it because we overstepped the boundaries first?"

Nian Shilan is actually not a fool.

Could it be that she really didn't understand many things?

It was just that she had developed a blind trust in the emperor over a long period of time, and she really loved the emperor, so most of the time, she pretended not to know.

However, this "trust" had already begun to show signs of cracking when Yongzheng insisted on dealing with Nian Gengyao.

Unfortunately, Nian Shilan still had no determination.

She couldn't let go of the feelings she had for so many years, and she really couldn't give up her love for the emperor.

The result is that even though you already know the "truth", you still deliberately numb yourself.

She waited and waited, but in the end she never got the emperor's edict to revoke his order.

In the end, in addition to learning that her brother had been dealt with, Concubine Nian also waited for the emperor's arrangements for herself.

She lost her position as imperial concubine, her long-standing titles, and she couldn’t even step out of the gate of Yikun Palace.

Until that time, Nian Shilan told herself that she should give up.

The emperor was so cold and heartless, it was obvious that he didn't care at all about the little things that he and I had accumulated over the years!

Just when Nian Shilan thought she could see through all these love affairs, Yongzheng still ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to treat everything as usual.

And all these words were told to me by Songzhi and the others.

Originally, Nian Shilan had already stopped believing these things.

But the result is that all daily supplies of Yikun Palace have not changed at all, which makes people have to believe it!

Maybe the emperor still has feelings for her?

Thinking this in her heart, Concubine Nian subconsciously felt some hope.

Even when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would find those thoughts ridiculous, but deep down in her heart, Concubine Nian still had a glimmer of hope.

Not long after, Cao Qinmo reported herself to the Queen, and Nian Shilan had a premonition that everything was about to end.

Seeing Songzhi being taken away from her, Concubine Nian knew that the situation was hopeless and didn't want to make any more trouble.

In such a desperate situation, the emperor ordered the people from the Shenxingsi to send Songzhi back.

After being tossed back and forth like this, Concubine Nian really couldn't figure out what Yongzheng was thinking.

At this moment, when asking Yongzheng such a question, Concubine Nian just wanted a very simple answer - an answer that would make her truly face the reality.

"When you asked this question, I believe you should have already made your own decision in your heart."

Yongzheng looked at Concubine Nian steadily, and after a long while, he said these words.

"I am a stupid concubine, please explain clearly, Your Majesty."

Concubine Nian knelt down in front of the emperor again, but her back was very straight.

"Nian Gengyao is my most trusted minister and has made great contributions to my ascension to the throne. Because of this, I have always treated the Nian family with respect. However, Nian Gengyao, relying on his outstanding military achievements, has become increasingly disregardful of me and the court. He has failed to appreciate my good intentions and has failed to live up to the emperor's grace. How can I continue to keep such an arrogant and fierce soldier by my side?"

Perhaps because there were no outsiders present in private, Yongzheng glanced at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly went out with a group of young eunuchs.

Songzhi was also taken away. Before leaving, she looked at her master with a worried look.

For some reason, Songzhi suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.

She really wanted to call out to her master, but when the words came to her lips, Songzhi found that she couldn't say anything at all.

……

"Okay, now there are no irrelevant people waiting. I know what you want to hear."

Yongzheng walked down from the throne and came in front of Concubine Nian.

Looking at this concubine who was once deeply favored by him, he slowly shook his head.

"I have given Nian Gengyao many chances, but he never cherished them. It's not that I have to deal with him, but he didn't leave me any room! I'm afraid you don't know? He has already colluded with Prince Dun. If they succeed, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

Having said that, Yongzheng no longer had any intention of hiding it.

"So, what about me, the concubine?"

When Concubine Nian got that answer, she first closed her eyes and then asked herself again.

She didn't know much about her brother.

But after listening to what the emperor said, Concubine Nian was speechless.

What could she say?

One is her husband, the other is her brother. Now they are standing on opposite sides, fighting for their lives. No matter which one she helps, it seems wrong.

Instead of sorting out these questions, Concubine Nian felt that she would rather know how the emperor actually viewed her.

"You attacked other concubines, and I can think that you love me deeply, but you attacked my heir, can you give me an answer that satisfies me?"

When talking about his attitude towards Concubine Nian, Yongzheng's tone suddenly turned cold.

Then, he threw out another sentence indifferently: "Besides, according to the ancestral precepts, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. You are a concubine in the harem, but you wantonly interfere in government affairs, sell official positions and titles privately, and accept bribes. I know all these things. I love you, but I have to take care of these things!"

After hearing this answer, Concubine Nian slowly fell to the ground.

She no longer had the energy to argue with the emperor.

After a while, Concubine Nian said in a weak voice: "I plead guilty. I will leave everything to the emperor!"
