Chapter 125 Destiny cannot be changed
Since you think it's perfect, why bother asking me?
【Why don’t you speak? 】
【If you don't say anything, you are jealous of my intelligence. 】
【That’s fine.】
No problem means that she will do so from now on.
Queen: “…” Is she sometimes too confident?
There is a crescent moon in the sky, stars are twinkling, the wind brings the fragrance of lotus and the croaking of frogs.
Jianqiu and Songzhi turned off the lanterns, and the road beneath their feet became clearer.
The Queen and Nian Shilan walked side by side, and no one spoke.
[My brother will be back in two months. He is a very good person and has been very kind to me since I was a child. He will definitely bring many treasures to me when he returns this time.]
[Since you've been treating me well, I can pick out a few things you like.]
When Nian Shilan mentioned her brother, her tone was a little tender like a younger sister, she was truly happy.
The Queen truly envied the brother-sister relationship of the Nian family.
[My brother will give me a black fox cloak. ]
In the previous life, this cloak was given by Nian Shilan to the Queen Mother. That night, the old woman persuaded the Emperor to treat everyone equally, and the mother and son discussed giving themselves Huan Yi Xiang.
They are all good people.
This evil thing of mine should not be used to pollute their eyes.
[It is very warm to wear in winter, warmer than your husband's embrace. ]
What kind of a description is this?
The emperor and she have little actual relationship as husband and wife now, so he is more like her husband.
[I am young and cannot wear it yet. If you like it, I can reluctantly give it to you.]
Do you want to give it to me as a reward?
Queen: “No need.”
This was the first time that Nian Shilan took the initiative to send something to the Queen without any sarcasm.
I didn't expect the Queen to refuse so bluntly.
[……] Lost.
The Queen raised her hand, and Jianqiu and Songzhi took two steps back. "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Could it be that the emperor couldn’t recognize the good things that Nian Gengyao brought from the northwest?
She was afraid that the emperor would find out if she gave him such a precious gift at this time.
There will be plenty of opportunities. When the emperor is gone in the future, you can give whatever you want.
Nian Shilan's lips curled up and then fell down, "Oh."
[There are also rare herbs from the northwest, which the emperor won’t give to us.]
[In your previous life, you wanted to give birth to a child for the emperor, and next year you would leave the palace alone with the emperor.]
[I'll give you some supplements. Who knows, you might even be able to have a child when you're old. ]
Having a son in old age...
Queen: “…” How could this happen?
She always believes everything she hears, it must be nonsense!
[Don’t you like reading medical books? I wrote to my brother a while ago and asked him to bring back all the medical books he received. I will give them to you in due time.]
[Don't worry, I'll give the medical book to you secretly so that Lao Deng won't find out.]
The queen stopped.
"What's wrong?" Nian Shilan asked.
[Could it be that you were moved to tears by my sincerity? 】
The queen took a deep breath silently and said, "I'm here."
Nian Shilan raised her eyes and said, "Oh."
Jianqiu helped the empress into the palace, "Although Concubine Hua Gui is still as ignorant of etiquette as before, I see that she seems to be much more polite to the empress than before."
"When the queen spoke, she didn't dare to contradict her."
Queen: "..." Is she afraid to refute? She refuted even more fiercely than before, okay?
"Concubine Hua Gui must have sensed your kindness, so she became respectful to you."
Not completely.
The Queen looked back before entering the room. She had been trying to please him just now, so what she wanted to say was probably not about giving him a gift.
Instead, let me help her save her brother.
It turns out that there is not only intrigue between people, there is really love in the world that is worth protecting with one's life.
Nian Shilan was returning from Louyue Kaiyun, she stopped at the intersection and looked at the lights of the Qinzheng Hall in the distance.
When Su Peisheng said there was military intelligence in the northwest, it was not an excuse; there really was military intelligence.
The enemy troops within Shandong were eliminated, and the route of the military supplies to the northwest was changed. The journey was smooth, but when the supplies were about to reach Qinghai, they were ambushed by the enemy.
This time, Jiang Wenqing did not escape from the battlefield and run away with the military pay. He surrendered directly to the enemy.
"presumptuous!"
The emperor threw the memorial in anger.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Longkodo clasped his fists and reported: "Fortunately, General Nian arrived in time and has brought the situation under control. Jiang Wenqing and others were killed, but the loss of food and military pay was not great."
What made the emperor furious was not only Jiang Wenqing's surrender, but also the fate that he had failed to prevent despite all his efforts.
What was supposed to happen was just delayed by a month or so.
Nothing has changed at all.
"I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"There are no outsiders here, so if you have anything to say, please just say it."
"Jiang Wenqing surrendered without mercy, and his crime is unforgivable. It would be fine if he was killed on the spot. The others are all officials appointed by the imperial court. Shouldn't they be escorted back to Beijing to await the emperor's decision?"
Longkodo meant that Nian Gengyao, a mere official, had exceeded his authority by killing all the escort personnel on his own initiative.
To exceed one's authority is to ignore the emperor and despise imperial power.
This is what the emperor cares about most.
With his words, there was a stain on General Nian's merit book.
The emperor was shocked, but his face showed no abnormality. "When a general is away from home, he may not obey military orders. As a temporary measure, it is okay for Nian Gengyao to kill a few offenders."
Longkodo wanted to say something else, but the emperor interrupted him.
The discussion in the Qinzheng Hall was still going on, and Songzhi reminded:
"My lady, let's go back."
go back……
After returning from the Old Summer Palace, he began the countdown to his own death.
No one could understand the anxiety that Nian Shilan felt during this period.
The dog emperor is unreliable. In the past, he didn't want to see her get a broken head.
The Queen is now willing to help herself, not to mention currying favor, even kneeling down, as long as she can save her brother's family, she is willing to do it.
Nian Shilan sighed and walked forward, "Zhizhi, why do you think I have become so greedy now?"
"How can your Majesty be greedy?" Songzhi didn't understand. "Your Majesty is almost free of desires now. I can't see any greed in you at all."
Not greedy?
After her rebirth, she only wanted to protect her brother's family, even at the cost of her own life.
But now... I can’t bear to let go.
Nian Shilan sighed again. This was such a bad timing.
She was afraid that if she wanted it all, she would end up with nothing.
