Chapter 157 The Sky Collapses and There Is a Brother

Nian Xiyao, the elder brother who looked weak and frail, said calmly: "When the emperor suspects you of rebellion, you'd better have the ability to do it."

Death is the way to go anyway, so we should prepare for whatever he is afraid of.

Nian Gengyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Brother, you want to..."

"Hey~" Nian Xiyao put his hand down and corrected himself in advance, "We are all the emperor's blood, and we are still loyal to the emperor and love our country."

The two discussed countermeasures, but the two brothers did not intend to tell their sister the details immediately.

Just tell her to be at ease.

Nian Shilan didn't understand, "Second brother already knew everything, why are you still so rude in your words today?"

"Hmph!" Is this considered rude?

Nian Gengyao thought about what the dog emperor had done and felt that he was too polite to him today. "With my brother here, what are you afraid of? Don't panic when encountering things, just do what you want and do it boldly. If the sky falls, I will hold it up for you."

Nian Xiyao said bluntly: "It was you who pierced the sky. I am afraid because you are here."

Nian Gengyao glanced at his brother and opened his mouth, speechless.

Nian Shilan was very happy to see that there was someone who could control her second brother, and she told her two brothers everything she could think of.

Including corruption and bribery, land enclosure and occupation, welcoming and seeing off guests, ministers kneeling to welcome the emperor... It was such a long list of complaints that the good-tempered Nian Xiyao frowned even deeper.

If what my sister said is true, my second brother did not die unjustly in his previous life.

The majestic young general was given a cold stare by his brother and he coughed lightly several times to cover it up.

The second brother can still go back home, but he has few opportunities to see his younger sister. Nian Xiyao reminds Nian Shilan to be more careful in the palace.

"Although your second brother is reckless and impulsive, what he said is true. Now that your eldest and second brothers are in the capital, no one can bully you anymore."

Nian Xiyao was also a famous medical expert of the time. He reached out and took his sister's pulse, and couldn't help but sighed, which made Nian Gengyao worried for a while.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my sister's body?"

My sister's body was damaged by the miscarriage and there are obvious traces of musk used on her. Although she is getting better after treatment, now is not the best time for her to get pregnant. It would be better if she could wait another six months before getting pregnant.

Nian Xiyao did not dare to tell Nian Gengyao all of this, and only said:

"I've been worried about your safety all day, and it has affected your health to some extent. I've written a prescription and prepared the medicine myself. I'll have it sent to the palace. You can boil it in your own palace and drink it on time and according to the dosage. Don't worry, I'm here with you, so you'll be fine."

Nian Shilan nodded obediently, "Thank you, big brother."

Nian Xiyao then said to Nian Gengyao, "I have already reported the matter of Lingnan to the Emperor the other day. You don't have to go back. Go to Yangxin Palace and report."

"Wait a minute, second brother." Nian Shilan reminded, "The dog emperor is stingy and holds grudges..."

"Hey!" Nian Xiyao broke out in a cold sweat, "Can I say this out loud?"

Nian Shilan pursed her lips and hummed with her cheeks puffed up.

Nian Gengyao immediately defended her, "The queen was just speaking the truth to her brother. You were a little too harsh, brother."

"That's right, eldest brother is a bit too harsh." Nian Shilan smiled, "But second brother, you still have to stand up when you go to Yangxin Palace. It's not worth offending him for such a small matter."

"Okay, I will obey your majesty."

Nian Shilan was getting happier and asked again, "By the way, brother, have you found all the books I wrote to you to find?"

Finally, there is something I can answer with confidence.

Nian Gengyao straightened his back and said, "How dare I not bring back the things that your majesty wants? I will send people to bring them all to the palace for your entertainment."

"No." Nian Shilan raised her hand to stop him, "Don't send it to me. I have a headache when I read."

"That……"

"You... think of a way to get them all transferred to Jingren Palace. Do it quietly so that no one will notice."

Nian Xiyao found out the situation in the palace two days after he came back. The empress used to be at odds with his sister, but now his sister had to find books for the empress, with whom she was at odds, and send them to her secretly.

I think the two of them have reconciled privately. Judging from the situation, the queen must have helped my younger sister a lot.

"Jingren Palace?" Nian Gengyao frowned. "When did you and the old woman of the empress get together?"

Nian Xiyao clicked his tongue when he heard this. His younger brother and sister, instead of taking the smooth road ahead, insisted on digging holes in their own paths, one huge hole after another.

With such a similar temperament, Nian Xiyao believed that they all ended miserably in their previous lives, except for the emperor, and he himself had done a lot for it.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely take care of this matter for you."

They are siblings from the same father and mother. The sister is married and the brother is a stranger. The palace has strict rules and regulations, and it is inappropriate for them to stand here and talk.

Nian Gengyao wanted to speak again but was driven away by Nian Xiyao.

With only himself and his younger sister left, Nian Xiyao asked about Huan Yixiang in just a few words, and also about the fact that the emperor could hear his younger sister's thoughts.

Before leaving, Nian Shilan thought of another thing, "Brother, there is one more thing. The emperor has a sticking department around him, which specializes in doing all kinds of shameful things for him. You and second brother must be more careful even in your own house."

Nian Xiyao felt distressed when he saw his little sister, who used to be naive and reckless but now became so cautious.

"Brother knows what's going on. Just take care of yourself. Pregnant women shouldn't worry too much."

After the brother and sister parted, Nian Xiyao still had a lot of things to do when he returned.

Once people have greater pursuits, they will no longer care about the small gains in front of them.

After repeated instructions from his elder brother and younger sister, Nian Gengyao returned to the Yangxin Palace and was extremely respectful to the emperor. He did not even sit on the chair as he had in his previous life, but wanted to lie on it.

When Su Peisheng served him tea, he just kept his eye contact, without showing any obvious arrogance or rudeness.

The emperor knew that this was the result of the meeting between brother and sister just now, and Shilan's persuasion was quite effective.

He opened his heart to him and, in appreciation of his hard work and great achievements, rewarded Nian Gengyao with double-eyed peacock feathers, a robe with four dragon patterns, a yellow belt, a purple bridle, and a thousand taels of gold.

After Nian Gengyao left, the emperor ordered the summer harvest.

"What did the Imperial Concubine say to her two brothers just now?"

Xia Jian was terrified, "To reply to the emperor, the two young men did not escort the queen to the Yikun Palace. They just stood in the open space in front and talked for a while. The square is empty, so it is inconvenient for me to approach them."

Inconvenient to approach...

The emperor closed his eyes, with a thoughtful look between his brows, and slowly turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, "Before Nian Gengyao entered the palace, had these two brothers ever met?"

Xia Jian knew very well that he had been ordered to monitor Xi Yao since he came to Beijing.

"In reply to your Majesty, no."
