Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 66 63. Downfall
  The emperor finally couldn't bear it and sent a message to the imperial concubine, saying that since she had served the Holy Emperor for many years, Nianfu's crime would not implicate her. However, if she continued to force her, Nianfu's crime would be increased and she would be deprived of her position. Divide titles and ban Yikun Palace for life.

Concubine Hua was heartbroken. When she returned to Yikun Palace, she closed the palace door tightly. She wrote letters of love one after another and ordered them to be sent to the Yangxin Palace.

One after another, the concubine Xiang publicly reported in Jingren Palace that the imperial concubine Yikun had committed a crime of disregarding human life and instigating Zhou Minghai to kill the palace maid Fuzi.

The Queen ordered Zhou Ninghai to be arrested and sent to the Shenxing Department for severe interrogation. Zhou Ninghai confessed to many crimes against Concubine Hua.

The emperor issued an order to deprive her of the title of imperial concubine and demote her to a promise. She was banned from the Yikun Palace without any edict.

At the same time, the concubine Xiang was exempted from the crime of being an accomplice because of her meritorious service in reporting the Nian family.

At this point, the downfall of the Nian family was a foregone conclusion. There were no more concubines in the palace who favored the Sixth Palace. There were only small Nian promises from the Yikun Palace.

Zhongcui Palace.

"What? Just deprived of the title and reduced to a promise? Even allowed her to live in Yikun Palace?" Hui Bin said in disbelief.

"The imperial edict has been issued, and there is no change in this matter." Wan Bin said.

"That day, Fei Guiren framed you and Prince Guo, and the emperor ordered him to be killed with a thunderous stick. Now that the Nian family has fallen, the Nian family is unscathed and still living in Yikun Palace." Shen Meizhuang was shocked. He sat down on the ground and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Sister, this matter is enough to prove that the emperor still cares about his old relationship with the Nian family. We must take a long-term approach. If we act too hastily, we may lose the sacred heart." Zhen Huan consoled her warmly.

Not only Sister Mei, she also felt unfair in her heart. Previously, she, Sister Mei, and Lingrong had been insulted and made things difficult by the Nian family many times. It was even Nian's fault that Sister Mei fell into the water late at night and almost died. What's more, there were people who sold their official positions and killed people. It is an unforgivable crime, but the emperor let it go so lightly.

"Old love? Didn't you say that the reason why Nian was infertile for many years and she sought help from famous doctors all over the world, despite all the pains, but still to no avail, was because the Huanyi incense that the emperor gave her alone contained a lot of musk? What else did Empress Duan Fei say? Back then, a bowl of abortion pill aborted the male fetus in Nian's belly. Was it the emperor's order? Are these the old relationship between the emperor and Nian? How ridiculous!" Shen Meizhuang said angrily.

"Sister, be careful what you say, be careful that walls have ears." Zhen Huan said hurriedly.

"Be careful with your words, what's the use of being sober and restrained all day long? It's better to be like Nian, do all the evil deeds, enjoy all the wealth and glory, and be wanton in the harem, even the queen of the middle palace will give her a few points, in the end The punishment is just to be demoted and banned. That's it for me. I have no way to redress my grievances after being persecuted by the Nian family's conspiracy. But as for you, the emperor loves and respects you so much, so the humiliation and suffering you suffered at the hands of the Nian family will be treated as such. Have you? Does the Emperor really have a place for you in his heart?"

"Sister, the Holy Heart is unpredictable. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The emperor is first and foremost the emperor, the common ruler of the world, and secondly, the husband of you and me. Huan'er was the first to know about the emperor's treatment of the Nian family. Even so, Huan'er also You can't change the emperor's heart. Maybe even if Nian's evil deeds are obvious, he will still be more important than you and me in the emperor's heart." Zhen Huan said bitterly.

Shen Meizhuang held Zhen Huan's hand and said sadly: "Huan'er, I am not willing to accept it. We have endured it for so long and only got this result. I know that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and I also know that our emperor has a cold nature, so I I have never sought anything, but my grievances and forbearance should not have to be explained like this, and I am not willing to accept it."

"Sister, don't do anything stupid. Think about Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen. There is still the whole family standing behind us. We must not make a wrong step, sister." Zhen Huan noticed that Shen Meizhuang was full of resentment, and felt pity in her heart, so she hurriedly advised her. road.

There was silence in the hall for a long time before Shen Meizhuang could be heard saying: "Don't worry, I know what I know and I won't act rashly. Huan'er, since this matter has become like this, it is no longer something you or I can control. Don't worry about it. Be more at ease." , Nian's fate is far more than that." Shen Meizhuang said softly, seeming to have put away his emotions.

"Sister, you can just think about it. The days are long, and we will just watch Nian's final fate." Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her sister couldn't think about it, so she did stupid things in a hurry. The two talked for a while, and then called An Lingrong and the three of them to have lunch together before Zhen Huan went back.

"Lingrong, it's been cold lately. You're weak, so you have to be more careful. If there's anything missing, let the magpie come to me and report it." Shen Meizhuang said.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. Lingrong is fine. But my sister looks a little worse today. But what's wrong?" An Lingrong asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just that I haven't slept well at night recently, and I feel a little lackluster during the day." Shen Meizhuang said lightly.

"Lingrong recently prepared some soothing powder and put it into a newly sewn sachet. It is the most effective for calming the nerves and promoting sleep. I specially took some to give to my sister." An Lingrong said softly.

Taking out the sachet and handing it over, Shen Meizhuang didn't notice the dodge in An Lingrong's eyes. He only felt that as soon as he took the sachet, he smelled an extremely refreshing fragrance.

"Sister, if you put this sachet next to your pillow or wear it on your body, you can calm down your worries and help you sleep."

"You are good at making incense, and you are an excellent female beauty. I know that you are sincere. But you still need to pay more attention to the emperor. The queen said the day before yesterday that a new person will enter the palace soon, and he will be a minister who has made great contributions to pacifying Nian Gengyao. My daughter, you have to hurry up."

"It's not because Lingrong didn't want to use his heart. After Lingrong got seriously ill and recovered, he lost the sacred favor. In the past, there was Sister Wan who won the Sacred Heart. The Nian family was favored and favored. Later, there were the rising stars of Rui Changzai and Chungui. The Emperor is afraid that he has forgotten the mausoleum a long time ago." An Lingrong looked sad and was about to cry.

Shen Meizhuang sighed softly and said softly: "When we enter the palace to serve the Holy Master, what we rely on is the Emperor's favor. Don't be afraid if you don't have favor for a while. Then recharge your batteries and be favored again in the future. , conceiving a dragon fetus as soon as possible is the long-term solution.”

"Sister said that Lingrong took note of it."

That night, Zhen Huan came to Yanqing Hall to visit Concubine Duan.

"Your Majesty, although the Nian family has fallen this time, the emperor is not willing to deal with the Nian family harshly. In the end, he is taking advantage of her." Zhen Huan said unfairly.

"If there's anyone in this palace who hates Nian the most, I'm afraid it's me. But in his heart, the emperor still cares about his relationship with her for many years, and no one can influence the emperor's mind." Concubine Duan lamented.

"I also felt that Nian Shilan's status in the emperor's heart was extraordinary, so after finding out her many crimes, I treated her lightly. Then the palace sisters were unwilling to do so, especially for the empress. It’s unfair, the empress has been tortured by the Nian family for many years, and finally waited for the Nian family to fall, but the Nian family is still at large.”

"As you said, the sisters in the palace are still very angry about Nian's fate. However, neither you nor I can hinder her. There is only one person who cannot see Nian Shilan's good fortune." Concubine Duan said in a confidential manner.

"Xiang concubine Cao?" Zhen Huan said flatly.
