Chapter nine hundred and seventy seventh: The end of the play
Nian shook his head and said: "You know the emperor better than I do. If he wanted to let him go, he would not have recalled my brother from Tibet just because of a few words of impeachment from the minister. When my brother was in great favor, someone would impeach him every three days.
The emperor always laughs at it and never pays attention to it."
Ling Ruo withdrew his gaze and turned his back to her and said: "No matter what, you can't ask about these things anymore. Talking more will only make yourself sad."
"I know I have no ability to take care of it anymore." Nian lowered his head and murmured, then suddenly called Ling Ruo again who had already walked out of the door, "Concubine Xi, I want to ask you something."
Ling Ruo said without looking back: "I will not plead for Nian Gengyao."
"I know, what I want to ask you for is another thing." Seeing that Ling Ruo had no intention of leaving, she gritted her teeth and crawled in from the bed, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed hard to Ling Ruo, and said word by word:
"I beg you to avenge Hong Sheng and let the queen, a spy, go to the eighteen levels of hell and never be reincarnated!"
In this life, except when facing Yinzhen, Nian had never begged anyone like this, not even when she was at her lowest. If she didn't hate the queen to the extreme, how could she put down all her dignity and ask for the queen she wanted to get rid of in the past?
Then the quick enemy.
Hearing the sound of kowtow behind him, Ling Ruo moved a little, but in the end he didn't look back and just said: "Even if you don't ask me, I will do my best to get rid of the queen!"
"Thank you!" This was the last word Ling Ruo heard Nian say. Two days later, Nian died of illness in the cold palace at the age of thirty-nine. There was no posthumous title, only a thin coffin that Ling Ruo ordered to reward...
…
When Ling Ruo told Yinzhen about this incident, he said nothing and continued to correct the memorial, but his ink pen made several mistakes in succession.
In December, the ministers of the imperial court held a joint trial of Nian Gengyaoli and convicted him of 92 crimes and asked for a formal punishment. Among the 92 crimes, there were five crimes of treason, nine crimes of deception, and sixteen crimes of transgression.
There are six articles for the crime of specialization, six articles for the crime of jealousy, four articles for the crime of cruelty, eighteen articles for the crime of greed, and fifteen articles for the crime of corruption.
In the end, Yinzhen thought of Nian Gengyao's past achievements and ordered him to commit suicide in prison. As for his father and brother, all officials were dismissed from their posts. His direct descendants were sent to the border areas to join the army, and their property was confiscated and confiscated into the palace.
With the death of Nian Gengyao, the once prosperous Nian clan completely disappeared from the court...
Compared with the turbulent previous dynasty, the harem was much peaceful, except for Mrs. Liu's fetus which had been unstable, and Mrs. Shumulu still often visited her, and every time she went, she would carry the string of agarwood disguised as agarwood in her hand.
bunch of red musk deer.
On this day, Mrs. Liu drank the anti-fetal medicine and was doing embroidery with her embroidery tent when she saw Mrs. Shumulu pushing open the door and walking in. Seeing the embroidery tent in Mrs. Liu's hand, she smiled and said, "Mrs. He said,
Don't overwork yourself, why are you still embroidering these things? If you need anything, just tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly, and I guess they won't dare to neglect you, the future empress."
Mrs. Liu put down her needle and thread and said, "Look at what my sister said. No one can be sure about this kind of thing. Maybe the emperor has no such intention at all. After giving birth to a child, I am still just a nobleman."
"The emperor has treated you and your children so well, how could he not promote you to this position?" With that said, Mrs. Shumulus took off the red musk deer string from her wrist and put it on Yushan's wrist, then ordered her to go out, and Yushan left.
, the aroma that had just spread suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"It doesn't matter whether you are promoted or not, the most important thing is that this child can be safe and sound." After saying this, Ms. Liu said with concern: "By the way, sister, does the person behind you suspect you?"
Mrs. Shumulu took off her cloak trimmed with fox fur and shook her head: "Every time I come here, I bring a red musk string, and the pulse record written by Dr. He for you always says that the dragon fetus is unstable. No matter how good she is at calculating,
, I would never have imagined that this would be a play that we would perform together.”
Mrs. Liu stroked her chest and said worriedly: "That's good. Since I entered this palace, I have been alone all the time. It's rare to have a sister who is willing to love me and take pity on me. If anything happens to my sister because of me and my child, I will be alone for the rest of my life."
They won’t feel at ease.”
"Don't worry, as long as we are more careful, we will definitely not reveal any flaws." At this point, Shu Mululu said with some worry: "The only thing I'm worried about now is whether we can survive until you give birth in October.
.”
"Sister, are you saying that she will do something else?" After Mrs. Shumulu nodded solemnly, Ms. Liu said solemnly: "Sister, since we have known each other these days, you should know very well what kind of person I am. I am sincere to my sister, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with me.
False. I didn’t ask before because I was afraid of embarrassing my sister, but if you and I want to move on to a better place, we must make this matter clear."
Mrs. Shumulu guessed what Mr. Liu meant and raised her eyebrows: "You want to ask about the person behind me?"
Mrs. Liu hesitated and said: "Sister, there is something I have never told anyone, not even the emperor. Doctor He said... I am probably pregnant with twins!"
"Dragon and phoenix?" Mrs. Shumululu exclaimed softly, a complex look flashed across her face. Many people spent their whole lives praying to God and worshiping Buddha but could not have a child, but Mr. Liu had twins, which is really enviable and jealous. After calming down,
Afterwards, she said: "Dragon and phoenix twins have always been regarded as a good omen in the palace. Since Dr. He has diagnosed it, why doesn't my sister tell the emperor so that he can be happy?"
"Mr. He was just guessing. He didn't dare to say for sure before the baby was born. I was afraid that the joy would be in vain, so I asked Dr. He not to make it public; and once people knew that I was pregnant,
I'm afraid I'm going to get rid of the twins even more soon. I'm really scared. My sister is the only one who knows about it besides me and Jin Gu Haitang."
Shu Mululu nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes some sense, but how does this relate to what you said before?"
"Sister!" Mrs. Liu stood up and said solemnly: "If I give birth to twins this time, I am willing to persuade the emperor to raise one of them under my sister's knees and let him become my sister's child."
No matter how calm Mr. Shumulu was, his expression changed drastically after hearing these words. He stared at Ms. Liu in disbelief, feeling as if his heart was in turmoil and he could not calm down.
She never imagined that Mrs. Liu would be willing to give her her own child. In the harem, the most precious thing is not the other things, but the children, especially since Yinzhen did not have many children, the children became even more precious, even if they were a princess.
, enough to make the rest of your life worry-free.
Even Jin Gu and Haitang didn't know about Liu's decision, and they both looked at Liu in shock.
After a while, Mr. Shumulu shook his head and murmured: "You are crazy, the emperor will not agree."
Mrs. Liu's eyes were surprisingly determined, "Sister, don't worry about this. I will definitely convince the emperor. I just want to ask, is your sister willing?"
