TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 229 Yixiu 98

But when the emperor saw Qi Yuebin again, this joy disappeared.

He was the one who created the feud between Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin. How could he not know how much they hated each other?

Now Nian Shilan, who had always claimed that her appearance was damaged, appeared radiantly, and was with Qi Yuebin. The emperor felt like a fool.

"You! You lied to me!"

Perhaps the anger in the emperor's eyes was too justified, and Nian Shilan was so angry that she laughed.

"Why are you so angry? Who cheated whom?"

Qi Yuebin wore a constant smile. She blocked Nian Shilan's attempt to attack her, and slowly walked over to pick up the medicine bowl beside her. "Why is the Emperor so angry?"

"Take a good look at this. This is your most beloved concubine. Have you forgotten?"

The emperor stared at the bowl of black medicine, watching it getting closer and closer to him. His cry for help was stuck in his throat and he couldn't muster any strength.

All he could do was grit his teeth, and the dark brown liquid flowed down his chin all over the place.

Every struggle of the seriously ill emperor was futile. His strong desire to survive made him shout "Protect the emperor" while trying his best to push away the person in front of him.

But in Qi Yuebin's eyes, these were no better than children's play.

Nian Shilan couldn't bear to see her hesitating like this, so she stepped forward, grabbed the medicine bowl and tried to force it down her throat.

Zhen Huan, who was standing behind him, felt a pang of sadness when she saw the emperor's pleading eyes, and all the past love and affection came to her mind one by one.

But none of that was because of her. The emperor could even let it go when their child was harmed. This was totally unacceptable to the proud Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan closed her eyes and took a few steps forward.

Nian Shilan immediately turned around warily, staring at Zhen Huan with red eyes, "Whatever you want to do, no one can stand in my way!"

Qi Yuebin looked at him with a somewhat unfriendly look.

The emperor seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Don't be nervous, sisters. I just have something to ask him."

After that, she walked past Nian Shilan and came to the emperor, wiping off the medicine stains on his chest, "Have you ever loved me?"

"Love Zhen Huan, not Queen Chun Yuan's substitute, right? Even for just a moment."

There was pleading in Zhen Huan's eyes as she tried hard to find the truth from the emperor's eyes.

This feeling was too complicated for her, but no matter what, the sincerity she had given was real.

The emperor blinked wildly and nodded his head slightly several times.

This impatient look made Zhen Huan completely disappointed.

Yes, in this situation, the emperor just wanted to live, so he had no time to think about love or not. He was just thinking too much.

A disdainful snort came from Nian Shilan behind him.

Her love for the emperor had long been exhausted by the nightmares she suffered day after day. Ever since she learned the truth, she often dreamed of the poor child.

If she didn't have family, she would have avenged her child long ago.

Zhen Huan gave the emperor a final, deep look, then stood up and stepped back.

"Sister Jingfei, it's too stuffy here. I'm going out first. Do you want to come with me?"

Concubine Jing stared at the embarrassed emperor from afar, unwilling to move her eyes. When she heard Zhen Huan's voice, she gave her a look and said, "Sister, go first."

She had suffered so much during her days and nights in the palace, and she had to watch the emperor die with her own eyes.

Zhen Huan nodded and walked out. When she left, she looked back. Their faces were filled with the joy of having their revenge taken.

They were all elderly people serving the emperor, and the two imperial concubines had been accompanying the emperor since early on.

The sincerity they have given is no less than mine, and they have come to this point today.

Compared to being poisoned and exploited by the one you love, and being unable to have children for the rest of your life, you are just a substitute. Why should you be so pretentious here? Being a person like this is not worth it.

In the hall, Nian Shilan forced the emperor's mouth open and poured the bowl of medicine into it.

"Go down to my dead child and offer him forgiveness, you beast."

Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin watched quietly as the emperor slowly lost the strength to struggle, both with indifferent expressions.

Qi Yuebin silently recited the names of the Qi family members who died in the battle in his heart. This damn mother and son deserved to die. It turned out that attacking the emperor was not as difficult as he had imagined.

The emperor and the empress dowager are just mortal beings.

Nian Shilan thought she would complain about the emperor's actions at the top of her voice, but when the moment came, she didn't want to say anything.

Whether it was the sincerity in the early stage or the planning in the later stage, it’s all in the past.

She just wanted to watch the emperor die, and soon the emperor was no longer moving.

"Will this medicine leave any trace?"

"There's no such thing as medicine. It's just a bowl of ordinary herbs. The emperor scared himself to death."

Sure enough, the imperial doctors quickly confirmed that the emperor had died of natural causes, and the entire palace became busy again.

The emperor was deeply saddened by the death of the empress dowager and died of excessive grief.

There was no objection to Wen Yi being the heir.

After she ascended the throne, she allowed the concubines in the harem to live in the garden and no longer interfered with their freedom.

A series of events kept Hongli stuck in the capital. He kept a low profile until he attended the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.

Hongli, wearing a dragon robe, appeared to congratulate them. Only then did everyone realize how great his achievements were outside.

This caused quite a stir in the court. Some old ministers were unwilling to be ruled by a woman and felt that it was a great shame and humiliation. They even tried to contact Hongli privately.

They were all tied up and sent to the palace by Hongli.

"Hongli, will your straightforwardness make things difficult for Wen Yi?"

Hongli drank the tea in his hand slowly, not caring much about it. "Don't worry, Wen Yi is not a mediocre person if he is recognized."

"Let her fight these cunning creatures here by herself. Now that everything is packed up, it's time for us to go home."

Minyu pried away Hongli's hands on her waist and glared at him unhappily.

After fighting for a long time, he became a bandit, and the elegant young man who used to read under the tree seemed to have disappeared.

"Do you dislike me?"

Minyu slapped the big head on his shoulder and said, "Oh no...get up and talk about business."

"Everything is ready. This time, our family has selected some fellow tribesmen with good martial arts skills. You can go back and take a look. If you need them, we can take them away together."

"Okay, this can't be taken lightly, but your family has always been known for its bravery, so there's nothing to be proud of."

Minyu didn't bother to pay attention to his teasing, and took the booklet to talk to him about the industries in Beijing.

There is the largest market here, and both sides need to interact with each other. Now that the people in charge have changed, they should also stop and manage the land under their jurisdiction well.

Hongshi also came to see Wen Yi after the ceremony.

"I send my regards to the Emperor."

Wen Yi raised his head from the pile of memorials and said, "Brother San, please sit down. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing that she was overwhelmed by government affairs but there was no trace of worry on her face, Hongshi couldn't help but admire her.

Being an emperor is not something that ordinary people can do.

"I have come this time to ask the Emperor for a favor, to allow me to take my mother out of the capital and travel around."

"Third brother, are you still leaving Beijing?"

"I originally wanted to keep my third brother in the court."

Hongshi shook his head and rejected Wen Yi, "I still prefer to spend my days outside. Mother has spent most of her life in the capital, and I also want her to go out and relax."
