Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 74 Shiro Extra: Huaxing Qiuyue

Shilan and I have been married for many years.

That night, I woke up from my dream, dripping with cold sweat.

In the dream, Shi Lan cried out in the cold palace, "Your Majesty, you have made Shi Lan suffer so much!", and then committed suicide by hitting the wall.

I was woken up by the throbbing pain in my heart.

Nian Gengyao was executed just the day before yesterday, which solved my serious problem. His two most capable sons were also imprisoned in the sky prison.

Ten years ago, I was still Prince Yong, my second brother was deposed again, my thirteenth brother angered Emperor Ama and was imprisoned, and the struggle for the right to be the heir became intense.

Nian Gengyao came to me and half-truthfully said that he wanted to marry his sister to me. At that time, I just thought it was a joke.

Soon, Huang Ama gave Shilan a place in Prince Yong's Mansion as a side Fujin.

I am indispensable, just a woman, and there are many backyards of Prince Yong's Mansion.

What's more important is the meaning behind this woman. She is the daughter of Nian Xialing and the sister of Nian Gengyao. What she can bring to me determines her honor and favor in Prince Yong's Mansion.

Especially what the Emperor Ama gave me, which contains the Emperor's intention. Has the Emperor Ama already tacitly agreed to bind the Nian Mansion, which has a high position and great military achievements, with the Yongwang Mansion?
  This idea surprised me, but my mother was very unhappy. She didn't want to admit that there was a clear and profound meaning behind Huang Ama's move.

The moment I lifted Shilan's hijab, I felt that she was as bright as a fire, which suddenly ignited in my heart, jumping and enthusiastic.

As the only daughter in the Nian family, Shi Lan has a wild and public style, which I have heard about for a long time. She is different from the women in the backyard of Prince Yong's Mansion, especially when she is dressed in riding attire, hunting in red, riding alongside me, galloping on horseback.

When I was a prince, I was often called the Iron-faced Fourth Master or the Black-faced Prince, but Shilan was not afraid of me. When I went to her courtyard, she was happy, angry, angry and crazy, and never lied. I liked her wildness and wantonness, which I had never experienced before.

Shilan's family background, her favor, and the temperament she developed since childhood made her run rampant in the backyard of Prince Yong's Mansion. Most of the time, I would turn a blind eye to her, bully her concubine, and kill her servants. Even if I reprimanded and punished her openly, I would always go to her courtyard to coax her or give her some gifts. More artifacts representing glory, or taking her hunting on horseback. Although her little temper caused others to suffer, it was very useful to me.

But later, Shilan became pregnant.

I was also happy at the time, but soon, Shilan's words were like a blow to the head, waking me up.

"If Shilan gives birth to a brother, he will definitely be the most noble prince."

As King Yong at that time, I naturally knew the importance of this sentence, and I also knew that this sentence must have come from Nian Gengyao's signal.

Without him, Shi Lan was simply immoral and simply bad. She had no such intentions. She was still dazzled by the joy of becoming a mother at the moment and could not think so deeply.

Nian Gengyao is telling me through his sister that he will support King Yong to ascend to the ninth position, but his sister and his nephew will also be favored.

I hate being coerced by others most in my life, let alone an arrogant and arrogant military commander and an unbridled and flamboyant woman.

But I couldn't act rashly. As a prince at that time, I was surrounded by a pack of wolves and still had to rely on Nian Gengyao's power.

I have thought about Yi Xiu's proposal for a long time, and I am reluctant to give it up.

Until Shi Lan woke up after her miscarriage and looked at me with tears in her eyes, and when Yue Bin knelt down outside the hospital to plead guilty, I felt lucky, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off me.

While I am thankful, I also feel sorry for Shilan. That face that used to be full of bright and open-mindedness is now only filled with heartache and sadness.

When I comfort Shilan, I also comfort myself that there will be children.

However, the remaining unspoken sentence is, I will have another child, but you will not.

After this incident, I also punished Yue Bin a little. After all, she was innocent and suffered, so the punishment should not be too severe.

After that, I doted on Shilan more and more, and Huanyixiang was also given to her at that time.

She was overjoyed to hear that this Huanyi Incense was made just for her by a skilled craftsman, and she would burn it every day.

Until one day, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen came to report that Concubine Hua had obtained the secret recipe for seeking a child from somewhere and had stopped using all spices, including Huanyixiang.

I remembered that the Queen Mother talked about whether Shilan could stop this Huanyixiang the day before yesterday. After all, even if it stopped, her body would not be able to get pregnant again.

I did not agree.

Now that she has the secret recipe, let her try it, so that she will give up this idea. This is what I tell Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were arranged by me to stay with Shilan. She believed that the two imperial doctors were hers and she trusted them very much.

Nian Gengyao became more and more arrogant, provoking me many times based on his military exploits, and even became famous in Sichuan and Shaanxi, as if he was a local emperor.

I know in my heart that Nian Gengyao can no longer stay.

Therefore, when I found the opportunity to overthrow the Nian family, I did not show any mercy.

Only after Nian Gengyao is executed and Nian's mansion is confiscated can I rest in peace.

Su Peisheng reported that Shilan broke her forehead outside the Yangxin Hall and begged me to be lenient. I was impatient and asked my servant to send her back.

It was at this juncture that Cao Qinmo reported Shilan for selling his official position, murdering his concubines, and sacrificing human life.

After a thorough investigation, every piece of evidence was confirmed.

I originally thought that since I had overthrown the Nian family and Shilan was used to being arrogant, if there was no big mistake, I would just let her stay as a noble concubine for the rest of her life.

Nian finally let me down. I was angry with her for doing all kinds of evil, angry with her for being so bold, and angry with her for letting people take advantage of her after she did it.

As a punishment, she was deprived of her title, reduced to a promise, and banned from the Yikun Palace without any edict.

I had a nightmare that night, and Shi Lan shouted out this sentence in my dream: Your Majesty, you have made Shi Lan suffer so much!

Then he hit the wall and committed suicide.

I woke up from my dream with heartache and a cold sweat.

In my life, my hands are stained with blood, I have taken many lives with my own hands, and I have also watched the people I love die in my arms.

After all, it was not as shocking to me as Shilan's heartbreaking shouting and blood-soaked face in the dream.

Although Shilan is stupid and bad, she is really full of me. Even though I was mixed with calculations and manipulations towards Shilan at the beginning, after so many years, I have developed a lot of affection for her.

Su Peisheng presented Shilan's blood letter. I remembered that dream and couldn't bear to open it.

Su Peisheng also said: The palace maid said that Nian's agreement seemed to be a death wish.

After pondering for a long time, I finally went to Yikun Palace.

Shilan became much haggard, and when she saw me, she lost the affection and excitement she had before, only indifference and alienation. She asked me whether I was behind the loss of her son and infertility.

I don't know how she found out, but someone must have instigated it.

In an instant, anger, shame, anger, mixed with the hatred of being coerced by the Nian family for more than ten years, all surged into my heart.

I couldn't suppress the raging anger in my heart, and even if I had some guilt, it was gone at this moment.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.

Even if it's your Nian clan, what about Queen Uranala's clan? What about the Queen Mother Wu Yashi?

I am the emperor.

Watching the light in Shilan's eyes extinguish little by little, it hurts my heart.

The guilt, love, and fear in my heart gradually began to grow wildly.

However, the emperor never bows his head.

After saying a few harsh words, I turned around and left.

"Your Majesty, you have made Shilan suffer so much!"

Cries came from behind me, and I knew something was wrong. It was already too late to turn around and look.

I never wanted her to die.

Fortunately, she was not injured.

When it became quiet again, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were kneeling in front of me, reporting with fear and sincerity.

Shi Lan is pregnant.

I even consider whether I am still dreaming now.

But the smell of blood in the palace reminded me of the reality at this moment.

Confirmed again, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen kowtowed to plead guilty.

She was more than a month pregnant, which was the time when I doted on her in the Old Summer Palace.

Until nightfall, Shilan was still unconscious.

The imperial doctor said that she was seriously injured, and because of stagnation of heart energy and unstable fetal energy, if she could not wake up, her life would still be in danger.

He asked the palace maid to take good care of him, and ordered Su Peisheng to replace the inside and outside of Yikun Palace with trustworthy people.

Su Peisheng said that concubine Hui came here last night, dressed lightly and stayed there for more than half an hour.

Hui concubine? I know that concubine Hui and Shilan only have festivals, but no love.

I still haven't slept well that night, but I haven't had the nightmare from the night before.

I tossed and turned, thinking about today's events.

Shi Lan's injuries and the child in her belly.

That is also my child, whom I once avoided and Shilan pursued diligently.

If my family has collapsed this year and I no longer have any worries, why should I look forward and backward again? If you don't even have the courage to leave your own children behind, then you really don't deserve to be the emperor.

Early in the morning, I went to Jingren Palace.

I stood outside the hall and listened to their discussion for a while. When I heard Cao Qinmo say that Nian was unrepentant and had failed God's grace, I went in.

Cao said: He should be killed to calm the grievances of the harem.

I also remembered Shilan's defense yesterday. The crimes she committed were most likely instigated by the Cao family.

How come I didn't know that Shilan was bad and stupid, but Cao Qinmo was cunning and vicious. He used Shilan's hands to do what he wanted, and now he wants to climb up the ladder by stepping on his old master.

Thinking of Yuxue's lovely Wen Yi, how could I tolerate such a vicious woman and raise a princess for the royal family.

It's getting cold. Mr. Cao, please die of illness.

I also noticed that the always quiet Chang Bi, the woman who gave birth to twins for me, was a little different to me.

Concubine Chang once told me that she was in labor at the Yanxi Palace during a banquet in the palace that day, and it was Shilan who saved the lives of mother and son.

Therefore, she sent someone to deliver Shilan’s blood letter yesterday to Yangxin Palace.

Nian's mother's family was convicted, and she also lost her honorary position. In such a crisis, Chang Bin was still willing to help, which shows that she is a kind and righteous person.

I went to Yanxi Palace and met my Hongmin and Qiongwei. They were lively and lovely, which relieved a lot of the gloom in my heart.

I don’t know why, but I am willing to tell Concubine Chang that Nian is pregnant.

Concubine Chang was delighted. She said that Shilan had suffered a lot in order to have a son.

I also know that she has suffered for many years for this.

Su Peisheng came to tell him that Nian had woken up.

I got up and came to Yikun Palace. Shilan's forehead was wrapped with gauze, and there was still a trace of blood oozing out. When she saw me, she didn't say anything or smile.

I sat on the couch, held her hand, and told Shilan that she was more than a month pregnant.

Seeing her eyes brighten up again, I was also a little happy.

It's just that Shilan still doesn't eat, drink, or talk to me.

That’s all, it’s important to take good care of yourself right now.

At night, I went to Suiyu Pavilion, and my servant came to report that Nian promised to have a meal.

My heart just fell to the ground.
