Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 181: Legend of Zhen Huan 51

Yi Xin was very angry about the fire in Sui Yu Xuan, because from the information she got from the Dong family and the Xia family, there was a high probability that the fire in Sui Yu Xuan was an accident directed and acted by Wanpin herself in order to frame someone.

Fortunately, the emperor did not ask Yi Xin to investigate the inside story, otherwise, Yi Xin would have directly roasted Wanpin.

However, Yi Xin always had to express her attitude in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I know that the treasury has not been short of money in recent years, but it will cost at least 100,000 taels of silver to repair the Suiyu Pavilion, not including the ornaments arranged by Wanpin."

"What's more, I saw that there were many things given by the emperor that were destroyed. I am just a concubine. Even if I have the power to assist the six palaces under the emperor's order, it is not easy to punish me."

At present, both the former dynasty and the harem believe that the fire in Suiyuxuan was caused by Concubine Nian. Some people in the former dynasty have already reported that Concubine Nian has no virtues as a concubine and asked the emperor to depose Concubine Nian. In the harem, Concubine Xiang also stood up to prove that Concubine Nian had killed many low-ranking concubines in the past. Concubine Nian even put cassava flour in Princess Wen Yi's water chestnut soup to put the blame on Concubine Wan.

As I said, the emperor treats Concubine Nian differently. It can even be said that Concubine Nian and Yi Xin are the only concubines in the harem who have nothing to do with Empress Chunyuan, but are remembered by the emperor.

So even though the evidence was "conclusive", the emperor still couldn't bear to punish Concubine Nian, and he didn't dare to let the Flying Guillotine investigate the cause of the fire in Sui Yuxuan.

Seeing Yi Xin's calm expression, the emperor felt relaxed for once. He couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "Jin Qing is still sensible..."

Yi Xin could not empathize with the emperor, especially after Hong Sheng entered school early, she felt even more intolerant of the emperor. At this moment, the emperor was holding her hand, and she felt a blockage in her heart and wanted to vomit. She suddenly had an idea to ask the system to find someone to replace the fat fourth uncle in front of her.

Yi Xin had an idea and immediately smiled gently at the fourth uncle, but in her mind she was trying to convince the system: "Tongtong, Changsheng, I really can't do this this time!"

"You see, I am a modern person first. Although I have experienced several ancient worlds, I only visited them briefly. It is not like the immersive experience of palace fighting scenes like now. I really can't do it, even if I use cheat codes!"

"Unless you replace this uncle with one of my idols, then I might be willing to have more children."

As soon as the system heard about the child, it couldn't help but retort: ​​"You are using someone else's body now, and the child you give birth to will also be someone else's child. It will not be good for you or me, so you'd better not give birth to the child."

Yi Xin was speechless: "Have you forgotten my previous suggestion?!"

The system only then realized what Yi Xin wanted. Logically speaking, it was not impossible for him to make some arrangements, but he had learned something recently and felt that he could not give Yi Xin too many preferential treatments, so after hesitating for a while, he rejected Yi Xin's request.

Yi Xin didn't feel disappointed about being rejected. After all, she just thought that she came to this world to experience something.

The emperor didn't know that he was almost replaced. He was still sighing in his heart that Yi Xin was indeed a daughter of the Fucha family's legitimate wife. The vision she had received from her upbringing was not comparable to that of daughters from ordinary families. Even the Wanpin, who was known to be well-read in the palace, could not compare to her.

To be honest, Yi Xin didn't know how she acted sensible. She was clearly holding the account book and asking the emperor for money.

The emperor also saw the doubt in Yi Xin's eyes, but he felt more relaxed in his heart. Considering the time when the fourth prince Hongli was poisoned, the emperor felt that he should make up his mind on some things.

The emperor originally wanted to smooth things over regarding Concubine Nian, but he could not resist the fact that Concubine Wan personally brought the arsonist Suxi who had been uncovered to the Qianqing Palace to seek justice for herself.

Although there was no one else in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor still felt offended, so he had Concubine Wan confined to her house for a month in anger. However, Suxi was indeed sent to the Ministry of Punishment and interrogated personally by Xia Qian.

Suxi had already prepared himself to die, so he finally confessed the matter to Concubine Nian when he was dying. When the emperor received Suxi's confession, he knew that the situation was out of control, so he had to send Zhou Ninghai and Songzhi, who were by Concubine Nian's side, to the Ministry of Punishment for severe interrogation.

The emperor originally thought that Zhou Ninghai and Songzhi would not reveal Concubine Nian, but he did not expect that Zhou Ninghai could not hold back and directly confessed everything Concubine Nian did after her marriage, including but not limited to the killing of many palace maids who the emperor had once taken a second look at, and the concubines and princesses who were assigned to her courtyard when she was in the palace.

When Zhou Ninghai and Song Zhi were taken to the Ministry of Punishment, Concubine Nian knew that she might not be able to continue living a peaceful life in the Yiku Palace. She put on her favorite dress embroidered with peony flowers on the boat, put on all her favorite jewelry, and waited respectfully for the emperor to come and ask questions.

Unfortunately, the emperor betrayed her love. What Concubine Nian was waiting for was not the emperor, but Su Peisheng, who was holding poisoned wine and white silk.

When Su Peisheng entered the room and saw Concubine Nian in her gorgeous attire, he felt his eyes brighten, but he did not feel sorry for her in his heart. It was because he had read Zhou Ninghai's confession, which stated that no less than twenty maids, concubines and princesses were brutally killed by Concubine Nian. He could not bear it.

When Concubine Nian saw the things Su Peisheng brought, she couldn't stop crying. She looked at Su Peisheng and asked, "Have you explained everything to Zhou Ninghai and Songzhi? No wonder the emperor didn't even come to see you for the last time..."

Su Peisheng thought that Concubine Nian was the mastermind behind the fire that destroyed Yuxuan. Because Cui Jinxi's throat was damaged by the smoke, she was not very polite to Concubine Nian. So when he heard Concubine Nian's question, he couldn't help but straighten his back and said, "Your Majesty thought that Concubine Nian was sincere to him, but he didn't expect that behind your sincerity to the emperor, there is the blood of many innocent people!"

Concubine Nian sneered and said, "Who told them to always want to seduce the emperor? Am I not good enough? At that time, my second brother was the only one who could bring support to the emperor. I even lost the qualification to be a mother forever because of the emperor's fear. Isn't my love and dedication to the emperor enough?!"

Su Peisheng was speechless. He was too lazy to continue arguing with Concubine Nian. He went up to Concubine Nian and said, "The emperor has ordered that if you are sensible, there will be a place for you by his side in the future. If you still have many complaints, you can only be treated like an ordinary abandoned concubine and be wrapped up in a straw mat."

Concubine Nian laughed so hard that she cried, "What a sensible person!"

After saying that, Concubine Nian picked up the cup of poisoned wine and drank it all up. The poison took effect quickly, and it began to show its powerful destructive power almost as soon as it entered her throat. Concubine Nian only had time to put the cup back in her hand. She felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and she couldn't help but arch her back. She couldn't help but spit out something from her throat, but at this time Concubine Nian was already unconscious and soon fell into darkness.

Su Peisheng watched Concubine Nian spit out a mouthful of black blood and collapse on the Luohan bed. He waited for another cup of tea before confirming that Concubine Nian had committed suicide by taking poison. He ordered his attendants to help bury Concubine Nian, and he went back to report.

After hearing Su Peisheng's reply, the emperor put down the red brush in silence. After a long while, he asked Su Peisheng to tell Yi Xin: "Concubine Nian will be posthumously named a noble concubine, with the posthumous title of Dunsu, and the funeral ceremony will be simple."
