The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 576 Never die in peace
Nian Shilan was wiping the blood from the corner of Yinzhen's mouth with a handkerchief. After spitting out a large mouthful of blood, Yinzhen lay straight down and could not move at all.

Year of the Landau.

"Brother Seventeen, please hold on for a while! The Emperor cannot move for now!"

Yunli gritted his teeth, answered "yes", and rushed out again. The sound of fighting gradually began to be heard outside.

Yinzhen lay on the bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling, with only one thought in his mind - why did it happen so suddenly!
The screen in the bedroom collapsed with a loud bang. Prince Chun stepped on the fallen screen and pointed his sword at Yinzhen who was lying on the bed.

Nian Shilan aimed the handkerchief in Prince Chun's hand directly at his face, but missed and Prince Chun dodged it.

Prince Chun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I just realized today that the Imperial Concubine has some skills! A woman like this,

Not only does my fourth brother like it, I like it too! What a blessing from heaven!

I haven't made any preparations yet, but my fourth brother is already in trouble! God is really helping me!

It would be better for the imperial concubine to follow me as soon as possible, so that you can enjoy wealth and glory in the future! My king."

Before Prince Chun could finish his words, he was pierced through the heart by an arrow and fell in front of Nian Shilan.

The elite soldiers who followed him dispersed in an uproar, and Nian Gengyao walked out from the crowd in iron armor.

"Damn you! I'm not dead yet, and you dare to think about my sister!"

Nian Gengyao kicked Prince Chun's body aside, walked to Yinzhen's bed and knelt down.

"I am late in escorting you!"

Yinzhen's eyes moved. He understood clearly what had happened in the hall, but his hands could not move and his mouth could not speak.

Nian Shilan gave a wink, and Nian Gengyao immediately stood up and spoke loudly.

"Prince Chun is plotting rebellion, and the Nian family army is here to protect the emperor! Come, take down the remnants of the rebels immediately!"

The former subordinates of Prince Chun who did not have time to escape from the palace immediately put up a desperate struggle and fought with the elite troops brought by Nian Gengyao.

Everyone in the harem knew what happened in the previous dynasty, but no one could leave the harem. Nian Shilan had already asked people to "protect" them.

The Fourth Prince Hongli and Princess Wen Yi have been closely guarded in the Yikun Palace by Xiao Linzi and his men.

As for the secret guard camp that Yinzhen had been secretly proud of, except for An Yi who escaped, all the others were either dead or injured, and were completely controlled by Nian Gengyao's men.

Li Ke had been sent out by Nian Shilan to "do errands" long ago and was not among these people.

When Su Peisheng hurried back to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he found that the situation in the palace had changed.

Yinzhen stared at Nian Gengyao, who was holding a prepared "imperial edict" in his hand. The handwriting on the edict was exactly the same as Yinzhen's.

Even Yinzhen was confused for a moment, wondering when he had planned this.

The content of the imperial edict was actually to pass the throne to the fourth prince Hongli, and according to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty's edict of succession, it was written in both Chinese and Manchu.

Nian Gengyao was respectful, but his tone left no room for doubt.

"I ask the emperor to affix his imperial seal!"

Yinzhen opened his eyes wide, and his eyeballs were bloodshot from the exertion.

Nian Shilan was afraid that the night would be long and full of dreams, so he waved his hand.

"Brother is so pedantic. What's the point of talking about this now?
The imperial seal is in the small box under the emperor's desk, go and seal it."

She was too lazy to even pretend, and Nian Gengyao did not hesitate and went straight to find the imperial seal.

Blood slowly flowed from the corner of Yinzhen's mouth, and his eyes were almost popping out.

Su Peisheng was also controlled by Nian Gengyao's men. Nian Shilan ordered people to lift up the huge screen to block everyone's sight, leaving her and Yinzhen alone in the inner room. Nian Shilan slowly approached Yinzhen, she took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of Yinzhen's mouth, and murmured.

"Your Majesty, does it hurt? I think your heartache should be greater than your physical pain right now, right?
I have spared your life on purpose so that you can watch your kingdom fall into my hands.

Oh~that’s not right, what do I want your kingdom for?

I have only given the country to your son, just like the late emperor gave the country to you.
You are too impatient. The sudden death of the previous emperor will eventually arouse suspicion. But I am different.

You have plotted against me all my life and I couldn't even keep my child.

Fortunately, God has mercy on me and allowed me to start over again, giving me a great opportunity.

I originally didn't want to have anything to do with you anymore, but I'm unwilling to do so!

I am unwilling to be your stepping stone, and I am unwilling to die with a bad name on my back.

So I am back, back to your side. Your Majesty, do you know that

Originally you wouldn't have lived this long, but I'm waiting for Hongli to grow up.

It’s so tiring to wait ~ But I will no longer be tired soon.

I would also like to thank you for your hard work and dedication over the years, which have left us such a beautiful country.

Don't worry, after you die, I will let Queen Chunyuan be buried with you.

I don't want to be a queen, either in this life or the next.
Or even for the rest of my life, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore.

There is no other solution between you and me except a dead end."

As Nian Shilan finished her words, the sharp arrow in her hand was deeply inserted into Yinzhen's heart.

She has been waiting for this moment for a long time. In this life, she has been with Yinzhen for fifteen years.

She knew Yinzhen understood everything, so she continued to mutter.

"If Your Majesty wants to hate, then hate the cause of the previous life. There is a cause for every effect. From now on, we are finally even."

Like his biological mother, Empress Dowager De, Yinzhen never closed his eyes until his death.

A huge fire burned down the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Nian Shilan knelt outside the hall door crying bitterly, and was held back by Nian Gengyao from entering the fire scene.

Prince Chun attempted to assassinate Emperor Yongzheng, but Nian Gengyao arrived too late to protect the emperor and shot the traitor Prince Chun to death.

Only the crying voice of Concubine Hua lingered in the palace for a long time.

Su Peisheng knew that he would not be able to live a good life, so he broke free from his restraints and rushed into the fire the moment the fire started.

The road to the underworld is so cold and long, and his master has no one to serve him. How difficult it must be~
The fire was finally put out. The fire was completely extinguished and there was not even a trace of bone in the ashes.

After the emperor passed away, no one except Nian Shilan and Nian Gengyao knew whose body the burnt black body in the coffin belonged to.

A big news spread in the harem. Concubine Zhen followed the emperor because she felt guilty that the emperor's illness was caused by her.

The fourth prince Hongli ascended the throne as the new emperor. The decree of succession, which was said to have been hidden by Yinzhen behind a plaque in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, was written by Yinzhen himself.

Yinzhen's decree of succession also designated four regents for the new emperor - Prince Guo Yunli, first-rank general Nian Gengyao, grand secretary Zhang Tingyu and grand secretary Ortai.

The new emperor was young, so this arrangement seemed normal to outsiders.

As for the third prince Hongshi, the new emperor did not kill all his brothers like the previous emperor did. Instead, he gave him the title of prince and granted him a house in the capital, where he lived a carefree life.

Xiao Linzi was sent by Nian Shilan to serve the new emperor. Now the only confidants by her side are Song Zhi and Li Dong.

Nian Shilan sat in the Cining Palace for a long time, then called in Songzhi and Lidong and introduced them to the families that she had asked her brother to find for them in the court.

He also prepared generous dowries for them, recognized them as sisters, and married them off with great ceremony.
