Chapter 136 out of 513 – Nie Sangyu’s original time of death (1)


    ording to the original novel, Nie Sangyu hadn’t been pregnant at this time. Ji Man had thought that since the Southern Trip had changed, then this might have also changed. Ji Man sighed, didn’t think any further about this, and had Muxu send the doctor out.


    Since she wasn’t pregnant, then she could only watch as Wen Wan’s fortune reversed. She couldn’t kill her. In the original novel, Nie Sangyu had died around this time. Since she had only read up to Nie Sangyu’s death, she had no idea what happened after that.


    In addition, something would be happening in the pce as well. Noble Consort Nie had already been three months pregnant. Once the emperor had been informed, the empress also naturally found out too. While feeling overjoyed, the emperor said as long as Noble Consort Nie gave birth to another son, he would promote her to the position of imperial noble consort.


    (T/N: Imperial noble consort is one step above noble consort. She would be the second most powerful woman in the imperial harem.)


    However, Ji Man knew that Noble Consort Nie would be framed as faking a pregnancy. Later on, while feeling furious, the emperor sent Noble Consort Nie to the cold pce. Once that happened, Marquis Moyu ordered Nie Sangyu’s death without having to worry about any consequences.

    As long as Noble Consort Nie didn’t enter the cold pce, Marquis Moyu wouldn’t heartlessly sentence Nie Sangyu to death and n on marrying another one of Nie n’s daughters in order to maintain the rtionship between the two ns.


    Ji Man didn’t want to die at all.


    So for now, she would disregard everything else and convince old madame to go to the pce immediately.


    “Why do you want to go to the pce? Right now, there are a lot of people over at the noble consort’s ce congratting her.” Old madame was quite confused.


    With a solemn expression, Ji Man said, “Sangyu had a nightmarest night. In the dream, someone had used the noble consort of faking her pregnancy and said her stomach was just bloated. That person even found a wicked imperial physician to nder the noble consort with her. They caused the noble consort to be condemned and sent to the cold pce. Even more hateful, the noble consort ended up suffering miscarriage. The dream felt too real. Sangyu is scared and wants to go to the pce to check up on the noble consort.”


    Seeing that Nie Sangyu was scared enough that she was perspiring despite the cold, old madame thought that the dream truly did have enough foundation in reality to be frightful. Although the emperor hadn’t favored the empress in a long time, Xiao n had considerable control over the imperial court. The empress had a wicked heart. She might not be willing to ept the noble consort’s second child. The emperor was also exceptionally happy because it was rare for him to have another child due to his advance age. The greater his hope was right now, the greater his disappointment would be. Thus, the punishment would also be much harsher.


    (T/N: Since it’s only been mentioned one time before, including a reminder that the empresses from Xiao n here.)


    Thinking of these thoughts, old madame agreed to bring Nie Sangyu into the pce. Anyways, it would be good to take a visit there and see Noble Consort Nie.


    —


    Once they arrived at Ninglu Pce, before Noble Consort Nie had time to say anything, Nie Sangyu said with a serious expression, “Aunty, vignce must be maintained to avoid being harmed. Although an old imperial physician has already confirmed that you’re pregnant, Sangyu feels that it’s better to be safe than sorry. When the emperores byter, just pretend that you’re not feeling well and have all of the imperial physicianse over here to check on you.”


    Noble Consort Nie looked at her in confusion. “Why do you want to involve so many people?”


    “Sangyu wouldn’t harm aunty,” Ji Man said, “If you have all of the imperial physicianse by to check your condition with the emperor acting as a witness, then no one will dare to use aunty of faking a pregnancyter on.”


    Noble Consort Nie had battled in the imperial harem for many years and had used methods like this one before. But, maybe it was because her life had been toofortablytely. Or perhaps, it was because she was too old and didn’t want topete anymore. She had forgotten that even if she didn’t want to harm someone, other people would still want to harm her. With Sangyu’s reminder, she became alert again.


    And so, when the emperor came by Ninglu Pce and Nie Sangyu and old madame kneeled down to greet the emperor, they heard Noble Consort Nie painful scream. She was clutching her stomach and her expression looked painful.


    “Beloved consort, what’s wrong?” The emperor was shocked. He hurriedly went forward to support the noble consort. As Noble Consort Nie voiced her pain, she ordered her personal pce servant girl to bring over all of the imperial physicians.


    Several imperial physicians came over and they all said that the noble consort’s fetus was very stable. Noble Consort Nie apologized to the emperor for making a fuss about nothing. She had just been too worried at the time.


    The emperor was currently in a very good mood. How could he possibly me her? He even decided to stay over in Ninglu Pce that night.


    Everything had gone ording to the n. Ji Man let out arge sigh of relief.


    —


    On their way back, old madame somewhat reproachfully said, “You must have been overthinking things. Look at how much the emperor favored the noble consort. How could he possibly sentence her to the cold pce just because someone nders her?”


    Ji Man sighed. Women could never sessfully guess what men would do next. Anyways, it was fine. This trial had passed. Nothing else was important.


    —


    When they returned to Marquis Moyu’s residence, a group of people wereing and going. They looked very frantic. Once nce was enough for Ji Man to figure out what had happened. What was meant to happen would always happen.


    Tanxiang was blocking the entrance. Seeing that old madame and Nie Sangyu had returned, she excitedly reported, “Mistress Wan is pregnant.”


    Old madame was stunned. Holding Nie Sangyu’s hand for support, she asked, “How could she be pregnant? Xuan-<i>er</i> had only recently returned. Whose child is this?”


    Tanxiang’s smile froze and disappeared. She said, “My master has been pregnant for two months. The baby was conceived before the marquis left for the Southern Trip. Old Madame, if you don’t believe this servant, you can go inside to ask the doctor.”


    After a light snort, old madame brought Nie Sangyu along with her as she walked to Qiangwei Courtyard.


    Ning Yuxuan had returned and was currently sitting at Wen Wan’s bedside. With a gentle expression, he held Wan Wan’s hand. Wen Wan’s eyes were red. She had probably recently cried, but her entire body seemed filled with vitality.


    When Ji Man entered the room, Marquis Moyu turned around to briefly look at her. His gaze was a little bit strange. Ji Man didn’t understand what it meant.
