Chapter 90 Restarting Nian Gengyao

"Brother, this is a letter from Prince Dun that I intercepted."

Prince Guo hurriedly walked into the hall from outside and handed over the things he had just found. His face no longer had the leisurely look of the past.

During this period, the emperor secretly asked Prince Guo to keep an eye on Prince Dun's every move, and even sent out his own sticky rod department to prevent any accidents from happening.

The emperor took the letter handed over by Prince Guo, opened it and took a quick look at it, and the anger on his face surged out like a river or sea.

"How outrageous! This Prince Dun has now abandoned the safety of the entire court and even joined forces with foreign tribes to plot against me for his own selfish interests."

"Brother, now that it has come to this, what should we do next?"

Prince Guo was filled with helplessness towards Prince Dun. They didn't have many brothers left, and Prince Dun was still a restless person. No one could save him this time.

"Old Seventeen, keep watching. If there's any movement, be sure to report it immediately."

"yes."

After receiving the order, Prince Guo continued to leave in a hurry.

"Su Peisheng, how are the arrangements with Wanpin? Is there anything missing?"

The emperor frowned, thought of Zhen Huan who had been sent to Penglai Island, and asked Su Peisheng with concern.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine with Concubine Wan. I have already secretly instructed Imperial Physician Wen to go there as instructed by Your Majesty, and have also arranged for several experienced maids to ensure the safety of Concubine Wan."

Su Peisheng explained the matter to the emperor in detail.

"We still need to be more careful. If there is anything wrong, it must be resolved in time."

The emperor had never hidden the reason why he made such careful arrangements for Zhen Huan from Su Peisheng. Although he knew that Su Peisheng would definitely handle it according to his own requirements, he was still a little worried.

"Her health is different now. I have instructed the maids there to be extra careful. If there is any mistake, I will not forgive her."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already explained everything to them."

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your body. You haven't had a good rest these days. How can you bear this?"

Su Peisheng had some idea of ​​what was going to happen. He had been with the emperor for so many years, so naturally he was very worried about him.

"Okay, you old thing, I know my own body condition well, so don't worry about it. Go down and rest first."

“Yeah.”

Looking at the empty room for a moment, the emperor's eyes were filled with deep meaning.

The success or failure of this matter is related to the future of the entire court, and there must not be any mistakes.

The emperor suddenly stood up, not knowing what he was thinking of, dismissed the palace maids who were supposed to follow him, and went to find Nian Shilan alone.

Fortunately, when the emperor arrived, Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui and others had already left. Otherwise, if he saw them gathering here with Nian Shilan at this critical moment, he would have doubts in his heart again.

"Your Majesty, why are you here so late?"

Seeing the emperor, it would be a lie for Nian Shilan to say she wasn't surprised. She knew very well that the outside world was in a state of panic. Although it looked calm, it was actually fraught with danger. How could the emperor have the leisure to come to her at such an important time?

"Shilan, I'm feeling a little upset, so I came to talk to you."

Hearing the emperor's tone, Nian Shilan immediately winked at Songzhi, asking her to take everyone away.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Prince Dun has been constantly stirring up trouble in the court lately. I've been incredibly tolerant of him, but he's still not content. Now he's even bold enough to associate himself with foreigners."

The emperor did not hide the news he had just received from Nian Shilan. He fixed his eyes on Nian Shilan and said, "I know that Prince Dun has held a certain position and influence in the court over the years, but he should never, ever ally with foreign tribes to harm his own people. If one day I meet the Emperor, how will I face him?"

Nian Shilan had already guessed that things had developed to an irreversible point, but she didn't expect it to be even more serious than she thought.

In his previous life, Prince Dun had his brother's assistance when he started the rebellion, and he did not unite with foreign races. Why is it like this this time? Is it because the Nian family is not involved now, so the direction of things has changed? Will the final outcome be the same as before?

"Your Majesty, I do not understand these matters of state, but I do understand one thing: everything in the world is ultimately a matter of good and evil. Prince Dun's private contact with foreign tribes is already against our ancestral teachings. No matter what he intends to do, he will not succeed."

When Nian Shilan said this, her face was firm. She was not saying this specifically for the emperor to hear, but after experiencing a lifetime, she knew very well how painful the lessons that the Nian family and Prince Dun's lineage had learned in their previous life were.

"Well, Shilan is indeed a descendant of a military family. She always has a courage that others don't have."

After seeing Nian Shilan's attitude, the emperor finally expressed his thoughts.

"I've thought carefully these days. General Nian has fought bravely on the battlefield for years. Although he's temporarily surrendered his military command because he needs to recuperate, I still feel that this is a waste of his talent. Shilan, what do you think about letting your brother and Prince Guo take responsibility for this matter together?"

The emperor's words were beyond Nian Shilan's expectations. She could imagine that the emperor was not as wary of the Nian family as before, but she would never think of restarting the Nian family. She also knew that holding military power for a long time was not a good thing.

However, the current situation is not optimistic, and she really can't find any reason to shirk.

"Brother is the Emperor's subject, so naturally he should share His Majesty's worries. However, Your Majesty also knows that you have suffered countless injuries during the battles over the past few years. I am heartbroken every time I hear about it. I beg Your Majesty to allow Brother to stay in the palace to recuperate after this matter is over."

Nian Shilan's words were intended, firstly, to reduce the emperor's vigilance against the Nian family, and secondly, she really didn't want Nian Gengyao to get back into the struggle for military power.

"Okay, Shilan is so sensible, how can I not agree?"

In fact, what Nian Shilan said hit the mark exactly what the emperor was thinking. He had already been worried about re-employing Nian Gengyao, so this made him feel at ease.

"Then I, your humble servant, would like to wish Your Majesty a successful start."

"Very good, Shilan really has won my heart."

The emperor's frustration and depression immediately dissipated after hearing what Nian Shilan said. He even did not leave after dinner. This made the queen's party angry again when they found out.
