The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 368: The Nian Family Takes the Bait, Nine States Peace

"Your Majesty naturally believes in the loyalty of the Nian family, but if Nian Gengyao really did something he shouldn't have done, even if Your Majesty wanted to protect the rest of the Nian family, I'm afraid the civil and military officials would not agree."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Fu Cha Fu De's lips, but it instantly disappeared when the other party looked up at him again.

The more anxious the other party is, the easier it is for them to take the bait.

Fu Cha Fu De leisurely picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly, while Uncle Nian next to him was so anxious that he was sweating.

"Jing'an, you have to save me, your brother. This, this."

Uncle Nian also understood in his heart that if Nian Gengyao really did such a thing, his entire family would be buried with him.

Besides, Fu Cha Fude is the emperor's personal guard, so he naturally understands the emperor's mind best.

Today the other party said it directly in front of him, which shows that he must have received the emperor's hint.

If that's the case, then Nian Gengyao really had this in mind.

Second Uncle Nian's face turned pale with fright. He just wanted to get more benefits for their family, but he didn't expect that Nian Gengyao wanted to make a big one. This would be like risking the lives of their entire family.

"If you are willing to intercede for my Nian family, my Nian family will certainly remember this kindness and repay you in the future."

Uncle Nian quickly spoke to Fu Cha Fude.

"Don't worry, I will help if I can, but you also have to set an example so that the emperor can see your loyalty, and then I can help you plead for mercy when the time comes."

Fu Cha Fu De saw that the time was ripe and directly pointed out the key point of this meeting.

"Of course, but how can our Nian family express our loyalty to the emperor?"

"Please give me some more advice, Jing'an."

Uncle Nian stood up and bowed respectfully to Fu Cha Fude.

"Come on, we are all brothers, why should we be so polite?"

"Come closer and I'll tell you in detail."

Fu Cha Fu De leaned close to Uncle Nian's ear and whispered.

After hearing this, Uncle Nian's eyes became stern, but he finally made up his mind.

It's done!

If he didn't do it, Nian Gengyao would have to die with his entire family.

Now that the emperor is young and strong, and the throne is completely secure, it is impossible for Prince Dun to succeed. Even if he succeeds, Nian Gengyao's power will only become stronger, and their second branch will not gain any benefits. It is better for them to follow the emperor and take this opportunity to make their lineage prosper.

On this side, after Hua Fei learned that her brother had submitted a memorial to the Emperor according to Concubine Cao's instructions, the Emperor stopped instructing her brother. She felt a lot more at ease, as it seemed that the Emperor still trusted and treated her brother well.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Cao did not forget to tell Concubine Hua that Zhen Huan was jealous of Zhi Dancing, which made Concubine Hua feel more at ease.

As night fell, the emperor held a banquet at Jiuzhou Qingyan, and all the royal family members came to attend.

Fu Cha Zhixi's face was calm, but she was a little worried in her heart. She was worried whether Fu Zhen had safely arrived at Prince Yi's palace in the carriage.

The emperor sat on the high platform and naturally did not miss the worry in the concubine's eyes.

Seeing that there was a dish on his table that was the imperial concubine's favorite, he told Su Peisheng to bring it over.

This action quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding concubines.

Concubine Hua was extremely jealous, so she gave Songzhi a look.

Songzhi cooperated very well and took a plate of grapes to the middle to present it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, strong wine is harmful to your health. I carefully selected these grapes. I hope Your Majesty will do me the honor of tasting a few."

The emperor winked at Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng quickly handed the grapes to the emperor.

The emperor picked up a grape and ate it, then spoke with a smile.

"Not bad."

Seeing this, Zhen Huan realized that it was her turn to make an appearance, and spoke in a provocative tone.

"Sister Songzhi is thoughtful, but the emperor doesn't like it very much. It can be seen that the emperor doesn't like your thoughts. Sister Songzhi needs to be more thoughtful."

Upon hearing this, the Queen looked at Zhen Huan in surprise.

Why did Concubine Wan suddenly become so impatient? Was she really jealous of Songzhi's favor?

The Queen was a little skeptical and always felt that Wanpin was planning something by acting this way.

As soon as Zhen Huan said this, Song Zhi was speechless. She looked at Concubine Hua for help.

Hua Fei naturally would not just sit there and do nothing. She gave Song Zhi a reassuring look, signaling her to say whatever she wanted and not to be afraid as she was around.

Songzhi received the message from Concubine Hua and quickly stood up and bowed to Zhen Huan.

"Your Majesty is right. I have only served the Emperor for a month or so. Naturally, I cannot understand the Emperor's feelings as well as you do."

"But I am very attentive to everything that the emperor does. I have never been careless. I hope the emperor will understand."

Songzhi looked at the emperor pitifully and spoke.

"I understand your feelings. You don't have to worry so much. I won't allow anyone to say that about you."

The emperor also cooperated very well and looked at Concubine Wan beside him with a sullen face. It was clear from his words that he wanted to vent his anger for his new favorite.

When Concubine Hua saw Zhen Huan being excluded by the Emperor, she smiled with great pride.

Prince Dun, who was sitting nearby, felt more confident in his plans when he saw how much the emperor doted on Songzhi. It seemed that this dog emperor had been completely addicted to the gentleness of the bride, which also proved that the emperor did not doubt Nian Gengyao.

Zhen Huan was not angry when the emperor said this. Instead, she imitated Concubine Hua's previous temper and attacked Song Zhi again.

Songzhi has been with Concubine Hua for so many years, and although she hasn't learned any other skills, she is quite good at talking back, and can even fight back with Zhen Huan.

This made Concubine Hua, who was watching everything, even more proud. The emperor was only obsessed with Zhen Huan because she was new and fresh. Now that he had found a newer person, the emperor naturally forgot about Zhen Huan.

"Your Majesty, Wanpin is bullying Zhida like this, are you going to sit back and watch?"

After Song Zhi was squeezed by Zhen Huan to the point of being speechless, Concubine Hua turned to look at the emperor and asked.

"What did the Queen say?"

The emperor's expression was unclear, so he turned to look at the queen and asked.

"It's not a big deal, just a quarrel between sisters."

Although the Queen had no idea what Zhen Huan was up to, she naturally could not speak for Concubine Hua at this moment, so she could only make the matter smaller.

"What do you think of the Concubine helping the Queen?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor took a deep breath, pretended to suppress his anger, looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and asked.

"The Queen and I have the same idea. I think Wanpin drank a few more cups, so she said a few more words."

Fu Cha Zhixi didn't expect that she would have a role to play, but she was not panicked and said what the queen wanted.
