When Nian Gengyao learned that his fellow party, Prince Dun, was captured by the emperor, he wrote a memorial and presented it to the emperor. In desperation, he wrote the words "Morning work and evening vigilance" into "Sunset morning work", and the emperor was furious after reading it. The emperor kept asking the ministers around him to list Nian Gengyao's various crimes to him, intending to use the mouth of others to completely eradicate the Nian clan. In the end, Nian Gengyao was dismissed by the emperor as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and the first-class duke for crimes such as not abiding by the way of being a minister. Concubine Hua was shocked when she heard the news, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to intercede for her brother in spite of the palace rules; the emperor avoided seeing him, and Concubine Hua kowtowed to ask the emperor for forgiveness. Mei Zhuang knew that Zhen Huan had good intentions, and the two reconciled as before. In front of the emperor, Ling Rong did not forget to pretend to express his sisterhood with Zhen Huan. The emperor did not know the truth, but loved Ling Rong even more. Seeing Concubine Hua lose power, Cao Guiren had to find another backer. In front of the queen, Cao Guiren reported all the previous crimes of Concubine Hua. The queen ordered people to thoroughly investigate Concubine Hua's evil deeds for many years. The concubine Hua who had rebelled against her relatives learned that her elder brother Nian Gengyao had been given to death. The emperor was furious, and Concubine Hua Hua agreed for the year.
