"Your Majesty, Lord Nian requests to see you." Xiao Xia Zi came in to report, feeling sad that the number of times he had to pass messages had increased recently.

In addition to being granted a title, Nian Gengyao was also given a sinecure, a minor official position that did not require him to be present during his free time. In front of the Yangxin Palace, he had to address others as "Sir" instead of his title.

Hearing this, the emperor stopped what he was doing and raised his eyes slightly, with no emotion in his eyes.

"Let him in." Although the emperor had a blank expression on his face, he had some guesses in his mind. He had just put Nian Shilan under house arrest, and the next day Nian Gengyao entered the palace. Everyone knew what he was thinking.

I'm afraid he will plead for Nian Shilan again, or use his military merits and the fact that he was injured for the country to threaten me to lift Nian Shilan's house arrest!!!

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in the emperor's eyes.

Moreover… Nian Gengyao knew about any news from the harem. He was really bold enough to meddle in the affairs of the harem! !

The emperor was so angry that he almost couldn't cover it up. The arrogance of Nian Gengyao in previous years kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Nian Gengyao and Ye Lanyi entered the palace. Feeling the emperor's sometimes murderous gaze, he trembled slightly. He did not dare to look at the emperor. He led Ye Lanyi to salute and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Hearing the woman's voice, the emperor's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and he looked at Ye Lan Yi. He saw that the girl had long eyebrows, slightly upturned eyes, wheat-colored skin, and an extremely exotic look. Her temperament was even more cold and elegant, as if she was independent of the world.

If you look closely, you can see that there is an untamed animal nature between its brows, as if it is waiting to be tamed.

Such a "beauty" caught the emperor's eye, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, in the end, due to his face, he turned his gaze away as if inadvertently, and instead put on a stern face, looking as if he was not going to be fooled.

"If you are here for the matter of Concubine Hua, then there is no need to say more. Please go back." The emperor closed the last memorial and thought about taking Yu Ying'er out for a walk after sending Nian Gengyao away to relax.

Nian Gengyao was confused, and asked with a little concern: "Your Majesty, I don't understand, what happened to Concubine Hua? What do you mean that if I want to go back for Concubine Hua's matter?"

I have to say that Nian Gengyao's acting skills have reached a new level. Now he is no longer hiding his talents in front of the emperor. His progress can be said to be rapid.

The emperor looked at Nian Gengyao's face and knew that this guy could not control his facial expressions. Everything he thought was reflected on his face. So he believed his words to some extent and assumed that he did not know that Nian Shilan was under house arrest.

"What are you doing in the palace?" the emperor asked as he pushed the memorial aside. He glanced at the beautiful woman who had been as cold as ice since she entered the room, and then changed the subject by shifting the question to Nian Gengyao.

The emperor saw some of Nian Shilan's pride and some of Yu Ying'er's shadow in Ye Lan'yi, and even some feelings that he couldn't explain, as if she was supposed to be the woman in his harem.

Such thoughts aroused the emperor's inner possessiveness, and even his eyes were filled with a sense of determination to obtain.

"Your Majesty, this is the niece of my sister-in-law. Her name is Ye Lanyi. She is actually a childhood playmate of Concubine Hua. Now that I have come to the capital, I would like to let the two sisters meet. I hope Your Majesty will grant me the grace." After saying this, Nian Gengyao knelt down and kowtowed to express his request.

After these actions, it was completely impossible to tell that he was a person who was arrogant and dared to ride on the emperor's head and shout. It was also this humble attitude that made the emperor feel proud and the smile on his face became more sincere.

"You and I are one family, why make such a fuss? Please get up quickly." Although the emperor said this, he still sat firmly on his high seat and did not take any actual action to follow up on his words.

In the past, the emperor took Nian Gengyao's power into consideration and obeyed him submissively and swallowed his anger. But now, he has the greatest power. Facing Nian Gengyao, he is as steady as a rock and takes revenge.

Nian Gengyao kept in mind what his sister said, suppressed his inner injustice, and put on a flattering smile on his face. He did not stand up immediately, but knelt firmly and said: "Your Majesty treats me as a family member. I am terrified but also very happy. But the emperor and the minister come first, and the family comes second. I dare not break this ancestral rule. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

This statement was not very nice, but it also showed Nian Gengyao's position, a position that made the emperor very happy to hear.

The emperor squinted his eyes at Nian Gengyao, then looked at Ye Lanyi, who was estimated to be about 25 or 26 years old. For some reason, he asked, "Is Ye Lanyi married?"

Nian Gengyao lowered his head slightly and a smile appeared on his face, he thought to himself, "As expected, as expected."

"Your Majesty, my niece Ye's family is partial to her, and her father passed away a few years ago, so she has not been arranged to marry yet. It has been delayed until now. Originally, we said we would just let it be. But the fate has not come yet, and my family is inevitably a little anxious. We are currently looking for a partner for my niece Ye." Nian Gengyao was preparing to add fuel to the fire and make the emperor anxious, so as to disrupt his own composure and help with the matter that Shilan had entrusted to him.

After listening to Nian Gengyao's words, the emperor pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Since you and Shilan have a deep sisterly relationship and haven't seen each other for a long time, then this niece Ye will stay in the palace for a few days to accompany Shilan. Su Peisheng, take Miss Ye to Yikun Palace."

Su Peisheng uttered a hissing sound, walked to Ye Lanyi's side, and called out, "Miss Ye, please come in."

Ye Lanyi glanced at Su Peisheng, and felt that she even disliked him. After thinking about it, she couldn't find the reason, so she classified him as a person of the dog emperor, so she didn't like him. But when she thought of what Nian Gengyao had ordered, even if she didn't like it, she didn't say anything in the end. After bowing and leaving, she followed Su Peisheng to the Yikun Palace.

The man was sent to the palace, and Nian Gengyao finally made up an excuse to leave. The emperor had no intention of keeping Nian Gengyao, so he took the opportunity to let him leave.

After Nian Gengyao and others left, the Yangxin Palace became quiet again. The emperor thought for a while, then stood up and went into the inner room.

Seeing Yu Ying'er sitting there in a daze, the emperor frowned slightly for a moment, then walked over with a gentle and caring look on his face and sat down next to Yu Ying'er: "Ying'er, what's wrong with you? Why don't you sleep a little longer? You're just getting better, so you still have to take good care of yourself."

"I know, but I can't sleep. Your Majesty, I just heard someone coming outside, what happened?" Yu Ying'er asked worriedly. In fact, she hoped that something had happened so that the emperor would let her go, because she still had to go to Yikun Palace to talk to Concubine Hua about Qiqi's matter.

Hearing this, the emperor held Yu Ying'er's hand and patiently explained, "It's nothing serious. Nian Gengyao just sent his niece who is in love with Shilan to the palace to accompany Shilan. The two elders of the Nian family are sincere, and I can't be too harsh, so I have already agreed."

Niece? A niece who is in love with the queen?

Yu Ying'er had never heard Nian Shilan mention this person, so she was confused and didn't know who this person was. But the word "lover" always stimulated Yu Ying'er. Some inexplicable emotions spread, and Yu Ying'er felt a blockage in her heart, so she simply didn't respond to the emperor's words.

"Don't you want to go out for a walk? I'm done with my work. Where do you want to go? I'll accompany you." Seeing that Yu Ying'er looked a little dejected, the emperor poked Yu Ying'er's face and said with a smile, trying to shake Yu Ying'er.

At this moment, Yu Ying'er no longer had the desire to deal with the emperor. She didn't know if it was because her body had not yet fully recovered, but she just felt too tired and didn't want to move at all.

"Your Majesty, I am so tired. I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to go back to Chuxiu Palace to rest. Please allow me to go back to Chuxiu Palace." Yu Ying'er's tone was pleading. She really didn't want to stay in the Yangxin Palace anymore. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would go crazy and... strangle the emperor to death.

She felt very upset and really didn't want to deal with the emperor, but she begged the emperor to be more understanding and let her go back.

ps: I really want to run away and not update anymore
