Chapter 250: Source of Silver, Ling Rong is Pregnant
"In that case, it is impossible for Nian Gengyao to give all the rewards to Concubine Hua. Then where did Concubine Hua get such a large sum of money?"
An Lingrong asked in confusion.
"That's not hard to imagine. After all, Concubine Hua only has one person to rely on. She is just trying to buy her brother's favor."
"After all, now that Nian Gengyao has returned to Beijing, he is extremely powerful. Naturally, some people will want to follow in Nian Gengyao's footsteps."
Fu Cha Zhixi put down the teacup, looked at the hot steam rising from the tea in the cup, looked at An Lingrong meaningfully and said.
"Sister, are you talking about selling official positions and titles?"
An Lingrong was very smart and immediately understood the hidden meaning of Fu Cha Zhixi's words. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sister, this is a serious crime. Concubine Hua should not dare to do this."
An Lingrong was a little bit unbelieving. Although she understood that her sister's reasoning was completely reasonable, it was really too much beyond her imagination.
"Don't you dare?"
"What else is there that the Nian family dare not do? Nian Gengyao dared to ask Su Peisheng to serve him in front of the emperor, and Concubine Hua dared to say in front of the royal family that the emperor's osmanthus wine was too shallow and could not compare to the tribute wine in the palace."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and shook his head.
“That seems to be the case.”
"My family really dares to do anything these days. If it were someone else, they would have lost their heads a long time ago."
An Lingrong subconsciously touched her neck as she spoke.
"Okay, I'm not going to ask for your head, what are you afraid of?"
Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw An Lingrong's little action.
"The Nian family is already powerful enough now, why don't their family members know how to keep a low profile?"
An Lingrong was a little confused. Was there no one in the Nian family who could see the situation clearly?
Of course there were, but the arrogant Nian Gengyao didn't take Madam Nian's advice seriously at all. He thought he was the emperor's brother-in-law, and the emperor was naturally closest to the two siblings, so he wouldn't care too much about them.
"Greed is never enough, a snake swallows an elephant."
Fu Cha Zhixi spoke slowly.
"So the most important reason why I openly refuted Concubine Hua at the banquet was that I wanted to add some fuel to the fire of the Nian family so that they could burn more vigorously."
Of course, another part of the reason was to gain the emperor's favor. After all, as a concubine who loves the emperor, how could she remain indifferent in such a situation?
"Sister, if you do this, Concubine Hua will definitely bear a grudge against you. Every move made by Concubine Hua will be a flaw. When the time comes, these flaws will be the evidence that will put Concubine Hua to death."
"After all, without Nian Gengyao's power, the only thing that can keep Concubine Hua alive is the emperor's friendship for her."
"What Concubine Hua is saying and doing now is all consuming the emperor's friendship with her. When that friendship is exhausted, it will be time for her to die."
An Lingrong thought about it carefully and quickly reacted.
"That's right. Concubine Hua is quite jealous of me anyway, so it's good to disgust her."
"Besides, some words need someone to point them out to achieve their effect, don't they?"
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at An Lingrong and said.
"Sister is indeed smart. I will have to rely on you and Sixth Prince to make a living in the future."
"If one day, our Sixth Prince can ascend to that position."
An Lingrong leaned close to Fu Cha Zhixi and whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense. The emperor is in his prime and can't bear to hear such words."
Fu Cha Zhixi quickly interrupted An Lingrong.
"Don't worry, sister. I know what's going on."
An Lingrong smiled and nodded.
For the future of her and the baby in her belly, she must hold on to her sister's thigh tightly.
Anyway, with her background, it is impossible for her own children to sit in that position. Her sister's Sixth Prince is smart and well-behaved, and will definitely have a bright future. No matter her own child is a prince or a princess, having such a brother will not be bad in the future.
You know, who doesn’t envy the Thirteenth Master, Prince Yi, for enjoying the emperor’s trust, not only giving him unique respect, but also giving him great power.
She didn't ask for much. It would be best if the child in her belly could have the blessing of the Thirteenth Master. Even if the child was not as capable as Prince Yi, with a brother as close as the Sixth Prince, it would naturally not be much worse.
On this side, Concubine Hua was instigated by Songzhi to accept the money from Zhao Zhiyuan. Not long after, Nian Gengyao came to see the emperor.
"Greetings to the General."
When Su Peisheng saw Nian Gengyao coming towards him with a sword and a golden horse, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, but then he walked forward to greet him in a polite manner.
Seeing that Nian Gengyao was about to go in directly, Su Peisheng quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"General, Master Seventeen is playing chess with the Emperor inside right now. Please wait for a moment, General."
Nian Gengyao didn't even look at Su Peisheng. He blocked the emperor's door with an arrogant attitude, and had no intention of giving way.
Seeing this, Su Peisheng couldn't help but speak.
"General, the Emperor and the Seventeenth Master will probably be playing chess for a while. Why don't you go to the side hall and wait there?"
"No need, this general will wait for the emperor here."
Nian Gengyao still showed no intention of moving away.
"Then could the great general please move a little further? I cannot stand in the middle of the emperor's gate."
Su Peisheng looked at Nian Gengyao with a smile and spoke.
"I told you, I'll wait a moment."
Nian Gengyao didn't even bother to look at Su Peisheng. Even though the other party said that his subjects could not stand in the middle, he still had no intention of giving way.
After all, in his heart, he and the emperor are relatives, and he is naturally different from other ministers. What's the big deal about standing in the middle and waiting for the emperor?
What's more, Fu Cha Fude is now deeply favored by the emperor, so he naturally wants to let this kid see that he is the emperor's most valued minister.
Fu Cha Fude, who was on duty, looked at Nian Gengyao with great interest. He wanted to see what other tricks Nian Gengyao could come up with.
Seeing that Nian Gengyao had no intention of giving way, Su Peisheng did not get angry. He smiled and said to the young eunuch beside him.
"Why don't you go and bring a chair over for General Nian?"
Xiao Xiazi tactfully put the chair aside.
Seeing this, Fu Cha Fu De couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in his heart, this eunuch Su is worthy of being the eunuch serving the emperor, his brain is very quick.
He was still thinking that if Su Peisheng could not stop it, he, as the emperor's personal bodyguard, would naturally have to stand up and stop Nian Gengyao's behavior.
After all, how could he watch Nian Gengyao violate the emperor's taboo and remain indifferent? If the emperor found out about it later, wouldn't he have an opinion of him?
