TV series: Daily life of male supporting role

Chapter 271: Legend of Zhen Huan - Yun Li 17

After being demoted, Nian Gengyao still paraded around in public, wearing the yellow jacket bestowed by the emperor to guard the city gate, which aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction. What further angered the emperor was that Nian Gengyao mistakenly wrote "朝乾夕提" as "夕阳朝乾" in his memorial to the emperor. In the end, Nian Gengyao was sentenced to death by the emperor for not abiding by the principles of being a minister.

When Yunli learned that Nian Gengyao had died, he was stunned for a while.

He asked Ah Jin beside him in disbelief, "Are you sure Nian Gengyao is dead?"

Ah Jin didn't know why the prince was so shocked after learning about Nian Gengyao's death, so he said truthfully: "It's absolutely true. Everyone in the capital has spread the news. How can it be false when the Nian family has already announced the death? Nian Gengyao was sentenced to death by the emperor."

Yunli sat on the chair, holding the handle, and murmured in disbelief: "Dead, just died like this."

His plan of faking his death failed. Why didn't Nian Gengyao follow the script and conspire with Prince Dun to rebel first?

After doubting his life for a long time, Yunli suddenly asked A Jin to leave and called the secret guard to come out and give orders.

Things have changed, so his plan of faking his death may have to be changed.

In Yikun Palace.

After learning that Nian Gengyao was sentenced to death, Concubine Hua became depressed. Not long after, she locked herself in the Yiku Palace, smelling Huanyi incense every day, hoping to get a little comfort from the unique favor in the harem.

Unfortunately, this beautiful dream will eventually be shattered.

Nian Gengyao was sentenced to death, and Nian's family was implicated and exiled. For a time, Concubine Hua's support was gone.

Those who had been bullied by Concubine Hua in the palace reported the crimes committed by Concubine Hua to the Queen.

The first person to expose Hua Fei's crimes was Cao Qinmo, the military strategist beside Hua Fei.

She revealed everything that Concubine Hua had done.

The Queen was overjoyed, but her face remained solemn. She pretended to let Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo confront each other face to face.

After Concubine Hua was taken to Jingren Palace by the Queen's men, she glanced at Cao Qinmo, who was kneeling on the ground, with a sneer in her eyes. After Cao Qinmo once again told all the concubines what she had done, Concubine Hua was furious and slapped Cao Qinmo to the ground, shouting, "Bitch, you dare to betray me."

The Queen saw that Concubine Hua was doomed, but she still dared to be so arrogant, and shouted: "Concubine Hua, this is Jingren Palace, how dare you be so presumptuous."

Hua Fei sneered, "Don't allow me to be presumptuous. I have been presumptuous many times. Is this the only time?"

Concubine Hua looked at the Queen, whose eyes could hardly conceal her pride, and then glanced at the concubines present. Seeing that every one of them had pride in her current outcome, she felt even more desolate in her heart.

When the rabbit dies, the fox mourns. She accepted the fate she had ended up like this, but she would not allow them to look down on her.

The Emperor knew everything that Concubine Hua had done in Jingren Palace. When the Empress handed him the thick stack of charges, he ordered that Concubine Hua be stripped of her title, demoted, and imprisoned in Yikun Palace.

When the Queen heard that Concubine Hua was demoted to a concubine, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but when she heard that the Emperor had imprisoned Nian Shilan in the Yikun Palace, the smile on her lips froze instantly.

She didn't expect that the emperor would not lock Nian Shilan up in the cold palace, but in the Yikun Palace.

She advised, "Your Majesty, Nian is no longer a concubine, so I'm afraid she can't live in the Yikun Palace."

The emperor glanced at the queen calmly, put the Buddhist beads in his hand on the table, and said: "Although Shilan has done too many wrong things, she is the woman I truly love after all. It is enough to let her continue to live in Yikun Palace and live according to the promised share. Let her go to the cold palace. I am afraid that she will be bullied. Yikun Palace is good enough."

After saying the last sentence, the queen's face became very ugly. She pinched her thighs tightly with her hands at her sides, trying hard not to lose her temper on the spot.

She really didn't expect that the emperor was still planning for Nian Shilan's future. Could it be that the emperor didn't completely dislike Nian Shilan?

No! There can only be one mistress in the harem. Nian Shilan has been managing the six palaces for many years and has long been a big worry for her. She will never allow Nian Shilan to rise again.

Suddenly, the queen thought of Huan Yixiang in Nian Shilan Palace.

The Queen passed down the Emperor's decree, and Concubine Hua cried with joy, knowing that the Emperor was protecting her. Her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

After learning about the emperor's punishment of Nian Shilan, Cao Qinmo hugged Wen Yi tightly with both hands, feeling extremely panicked.

The emperor still cares about Nian Shilan. If Nian Shilan regains his favor, then she, the "traitor" servant, will be the first to be targeted by Nian Shilan.

No, maybe she doesn't have to wait until that day, she can find an opportunity to kill her now.

Cao Qinmo was much more sober at this time.

She secretly regretted why she could not keep her footing. When she learned that the Nian family was doomed, she believed the Queen's instigation and exposed Nian Shilan's evil deeds in public.

Although she had been promoted from Concubine Cao to Concubine Shen, when the title came down, Cao Qinmo knew that she was completely disliked by the emperor.

Now that Nian Shilan still has the possibility of regaining favor, his future is dark.

She herself could die, but her daughter could not.

Cao Qinmo looked at the sleeping Wen Yi and couldn't help but shed tears.

She must find a good adoptive mother for Wen Yi before she dies so that Wen Yi can grow up safely.

Before Cao Qinmo could make any plans, on the second day after Nian Shilan's punishment was announced, the servants of Yikun Palace reported to the queen that Nian Shilan had died by hitting his head against a pillar.

When the Queen heard the news, she glanced at An Lingrong who was sitting in the lower seat.

An Lingrong lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

As Nian Shilan died, the haze that had been hanging over everyone's heads dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Nian Shilan died, and their nightmare ended.

The emperor cried sincerely for Nian Shilan, and despite everyone's opposition, he buried Nian Shilan in the imperial mausoleum with the funeral rites of a royal concubine, and posthumously named her Dunsu.

The Queen and the Queen Mother repeatedly advised the Emperor to change his mind, but unfortunately the Emperor did not listen.

When Yunli went to the palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager, the empress dowager told Yunli that the emperor had disregarded their mother-son relationship and had given Nian Shilan such high honor after her death.

Yunli smiled and did not talk about this matter. He only said that he had received the emperor's order to go to the northwest.

As expected, when the Queen Mother learned that Yunli was leaving the capital and going to the desolate northwest, she worriedly asked, "The northwest is bitterly cold, what is the emperor asking you to do there?"

Yunli could not tell the empress dowager the real purpose of the emperor asking him to go to the northwest, and just said it was a trivial matter.

But the Queen Mother didn't believe it.

The Empress Dowager knew too well the Emperor's suspicious nature. She was afraid that Yunli would be suspected by his own brother, the Fourteenth Prince, just like the Emperor himself, and would be transferred by the Emperor to a desolate place to suffer.

Yunli knew that the Queen Mother did not believe that the Emperor would treat his brother well, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. This time I am really going to the Northwest to do something for my brother. I will be back in a month. By then, I will bring you some specialties from the Northwest."

When the Queen Mother heard Yunli say this, she held back what she was about to say and told Yunli to be careful about travel safety.

Yunli responded and left the palace with the things given by the Queen Mother.
