An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 163 Invitation

"After saying that, he turned around and said, "Ruyi, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to send someone to restrain Chun Changzai immediately!"

Yes!

"Ruyi responded and went down. An Lingrong knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I don't know what I should do!"

"This is just a small matter, why do you have to be so polite, sister? But don't forget to reply to the Queen in person, after all, this matter was arranged by the Queen."

If you do it quietly, the Queen will be unhappy when she asks about it! !

"Yes, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty." After the two of them finished speaking, they showed no intention of going in. Concubine Jing took An Lingrong and walked two steps outside!"

"Sister, is the emperor still in there? An Lingrong nodded. Wanpin had a miscarriage, and the emperor didn't leave her side at all."

"Wanpin is favored, and the emperor is no exception. But I always have a bad feeling in my heart. I am afraid that this matter will eventually fall on Wanpin!"

"An Lingrong said in confusion after hearing this: 'Your Majesty, I don't understand. The people involved are already dead. How can the dead speak?'"

Could it be possible that the Queen Mother could bribe this servant to only recognize Zhen Huan under the Emperor's nose?

"Who among them is the one that the emperor is worried about?

"Jing Fei smiled and turned her eyes to the empty space. No matter how favored Wan Fei is, the emperor will always give the queen face."

"What's more, behind the Queen, there is always someone standing behind her who supports her, the Queen Mother. Sister, why don't you think about it from another perspective? If you were the Queen, would you use all means at this time to make this matter fall completely on Wanpin?"

"Concubine Jing's eyes were elsewhere. An Lingrong glanced at her boldly, but she only saw her profile and didn't see her expression clearly."

Why would the other party suddenly say this to her? Putting aside other things, at least the queen still appears to be kind-hearted.

"I helped Concubine Jing to have a good daughter, but she is cautious and not easy to open up to others. Did this incident today make An Lingrong feel a little confused?"

"But before An Lingrong could figure out the deep meaning of this, Concubine Jing spoke up again: On the day of the Qiqiao Banquet, my sister went to Qingliang Palace, and Huang Guiquan actively cooperated. My sister must have boarded Concubine Hua's big ship!"

An Lingrong was stunned. My sister knew about this when I went there that day! Why did she bring it up today?

"Concubine Jing turned her head and glanced at An Lingrong, who actually saw a hint of worry in her eyes."

"As her mind turned, An Lingrong suddenly understood what Concubine Jing was worried about! She was worried that if she got involved with Concubine Hua, she would turn around and deal with her."

"After all, Concubine Jing was oppressed by Concubine Hua for a long time. To be honest, Concubine Jing's current situation is also due to my role!"

"But now that I'm with Concubine Hua, it's normal for her to be worried. It's not worth being surprised!"

"Thinking of this, An Lingrong smiled and said, 'Your Majesty, I have a deal with Concubine Hua. She will help me inform Huang Guiquan and organize the Qiqiao Banquet.'"

"I will help her so that Wanpin can no longer be as favored as before! Jingfei looked at An Lingrong's smiling face! There was a trace of fear in her eyes."

Sister, Chun Changzai... Could it be...?

"An Lingrong chuckled. "Chun Changzai? What did my sister say? I don't understand. When Concubine Jing told An Lingrong that the Queen would investigate this matter and frame Zhen Huan, An Lingrong said she didn't understand."

"I still remember clearly what her expression was like at that time! At this moment, she still doesn't understand the word, but it makes Concubine Jing feel a little creepy."

"How could An Lingrong not understand? She knew from the beginning that the Queen would definitely frame Zhen Huan! When the time comes, the Emperor will definitely consider the Queen's face and will have to punish Zhen Huan!"

"Even though Zhen Huan is pregnant now, all this is An Lingrong's plan? So... Concubine Chun also died at the hands of An Lingrong?"

"Thinking of this, Concubine Jing's expression shrank, and she subconsciously tried to avoid An Lingrong's gaze! Her heart was even more alarmed, and she immediately became cautious."

"What are you thinking, sister? Seeing the change in Concubine Jing, how could An Lingrong not understand what she was thinking? She chuckled and continued; Concubine Chun's death was not caused by me."

I simply discovered that someone was going to attack her, so I took advantage of the situation and captured the key person.

"Key figure? That's right, Your Majesty, you don't have to frame me this time! My sister is very thoughtful, and I admire her."

"As for Concubine Hua, it's just a deal. Your Majesty, don't worry. Now that it's come to this, Concubine Jing also understands what An Lingrong means!"

"She nodded and was about to speak when Ruyi came hurriedly with people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Concubine Jing stepped forward and gave a few instructions, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs entered Bitong Academy!"

"Not long after, Chun Changzai, wrapped in white cloth, was carried out of Bitong Academy by the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for where she was sent to, that was not something An Lingrong needed to worry about!"

Concubine Jing was relieved of her worries and didn't mind helping An Lingrong with this matter! In this way, An Lingrong was free!

This matter alarmed the Imperial Household Department, and Chun Changzai's death could no longer be concealed.

Qingliang Hall

"Hua Fei held a silver stick in her hand, stuck a piece of watermelon in it, took a bite, and sneered: "A foxy woman is now fighting among herself. How satisfying!"

"Songzhi knelt on the ground, patted Hua Fei's legs, and then laughed, "Yes! I heard that Wan Fei was frightened by Chun Changzai early in the morning and had a miscarriage. Now she can't even get out of bed!"

"She relies on her beauty to seduce the emperor every day. In my opinion, she is not destined to give birth to a prince! When Concubine Hua talked about offspring, Songzhi did not dare to respond, fearing that Concubine Hua would get angry when she thought of her body."

"Fortunately, Concubine Hua is now thinking about how Zhen Huan will soon be disliked by the Emperor, and no one is thinking about anything else! Seeing that Concubine Hua didn't say anything, Song Zhi raised her head and glanced at her."

Then he spoke tentatively: Your Majesty, what you said about Concubine Wan, could it be that Concubine Shu was involved...

"After all, she promised the Queen that day that if Huang Guiquan held the Qiqiao Banquet honestly, she would make Zhen Huan lose the Emperor's favor!"

After hearing this, Concubine Hua was stunned and raised her eyebrows and asked: "Shupin? Is she so capable?"

"Your Majesty, I am just guessing. Why don't you ask Zhou Linhai to go to Rugu Hanjin and call Shupin over so that Your Majesty can ask her in person!"

"Hua Fei subconsciously wanted to agree, but for some reason, she thought about it and shook her head. "Something happened at Bitong Academy just now. If I tell people that Shupin is coming at this time, I don't know what the women in the harem will say."

"Don't spread rumors that I was responsible for Concubine Cheng Chun's death. Even if I don't care about these rumors, I'm still embarrassed for nothing."

"Forget it, I'll call you in two days! Your Majesty is thoughtful, I admire you! Songzhi smiled flatteringly, lowered her head and concentrated on pinching Concubine Hua harder, without saying anything else."

"The more Concubine Hua thought about it, the more she felt that Songzhi's words made sense. She put the watermelon on the silver skewer into her mouth and threw the skewer casually onto the plate."

There was a hint of interest on her face. "Songzhi, have you asked someone to get to know Shupin in detail?" Songzhi didn't understand what Hua Fei meant for a moment, so she looked up and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, do you know Shupin? What do you want to ask?"

"After hearing this, Concubine Hua paused. She herself didn't know what to ask. It was only after she heard Songzhi say that she suspected that Concubine Chun's death was caused by Concubine Shu that she became interested in An Lingrong!"

"But when it comes to what I want to ask, I can't say it clearly! I leaned on the couch with my head supported by my hands, and felt that Song Zhi was a bit annoying!"

She let out a light sigh and said, "Forget it, I'm tired, you go down and keep watch."

"Three days have passed since Concubine Chun's death. Because Zhen Huan's pregnancy was unstable, the emperor spent most of his time in Bitong Academy except for handling official business."

"At dinner time that day, the Emperor and Zhen Huan sat opposite each other. After a few days of recuperation, although Zhen Huan's body did not appear to have recovered to normal, she still had no problem eating."

"Zhen Huan picked up a piece of Qiansijuan and gave it to the emperor, smiling and saying, "Silang, this is freshly made by my small kitchen. I think it tastes good. How about trying it, Silang?"

"The emperor smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, someone came in through the door. The two turned around and were stunned! It turned out to be Huanbi."

"As if she couldn't feel the gazes of the two people, Huanbi walked in slowly holding a large food box, knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the emperor and to Concubine Wan."

"Zhen Huan glanced at the emperor and said nothing. Huan Bi wore a green Manchu dress today, without any makeup, and only had a hairpin of the same color in her hair."

"Of course, she didn't wear pink shoes, which would make people feel a little fresh in this hot summer!"

"Plus, Zhen Huan's health has improved, and the emperor is in a good mood. He raised his hand and said, "He is here, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Huanbi's eyebrows and eyes are similar to Zhen Huan. Although she is not as beautiful as Rou Changzai, this is different from others. The emperor is naturally willing to give her some face."

"Seeing Huanbi stand up, she asked, what's in the food box? Huanbi knelt again and replied to the emperor, I heard that Concubine Wan's health has improved."

"Thinking that the emperor should be in a good mood, I personally went to the kitchen and made a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. I would like to invite the emperor and Concubine Wan to taste them!"

"After Huanbi finished speaking, without waiting for the two to react, she opened the food box on her own, took out the snacks from the box, placed them on the table, and stepped back two steps"!

She spoke again, "The snacks have been delivered. I will not delay the emperor and Concubine Wan from having their meal. I will take my leave. After she finished speaking, she bowed respectfully and turned to leave."

Seeing Huanbi's back disappear in the palace, the emperor retracted his gaze, "Huanhuan, this He promised to be respectful, it seems that Concubine Shu did a good job in arranging her in your palace!"

After hearing this, Zhen Huan's face froze slightly, but at this point, how could she deny the emperor's words!

"I can only bow my head and say, Silang is absolutely right. He Ying was once my maid, so she naturally knows my preferences!"

"After saying this, without waiting for the emperor to speak, he continued; Your Majesty, although the weather is hot, it is not good for the food to be cold, so you should eat quickly!"

All right! The emperor laughed and said nothing more. The atmosphere during the dinner was very strange! Not long after, the two of them put down their chopsticks at the same time.

The emperor asked, "I see you have a bigger appetite today. Are you feeling well?" Zhen Huan smiled and touched her stomach. "With the sincere care of Doctor Wen these days, I feel much better!"

"I'm not as exhausted as I was the past two days. Don't worry, Silang. It's good that way. Our child must be born safely."

"With Silang's care, Huanhuan believes that the child will be safe. Just as Zhenhuan finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside!"

"A moment later, the palace door was pushed open, and Cui Jinxi hurried in with a strange look on her face. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the eunuch Jiang Fuhai beside the Empress came and said that the Empress asked Your Majesty to go up and down the skylight."

"The emperor was stunned. At this time? What could Jiang Fuhai say? Your Majesty, Eunuch Jiang did not say it clearly, but only said that the Empress had an urgent matter, and asked Your Majesty to go to the skylight immediately."

It was rare for the Queen to be so anxious, so the Emperor was naturally worried about what might have happened.

"After a brief thought, he stood up and said, 'Hanhuan, go to bed early. The Queen must have something urgent to do, otherwise she wouldn't have asked someone to come and ask me. I'll go check the sky first!"

Yes, it’s dark outside, Your Majesty, remember to slow down!

"After hearing this, the emperor showed a touch of emotion on his face. He reached out and squeezed Zhen Huan's hand before turning around and walking away! Zhen Huan was pregnant and feeling unwell, so naturally she didn't stand up to see him off."

"After the emperor left, Zhen Huan sat down and said, 'What's wrong with Jingxi and Jiang Fuhai?' Cui Jingxi naturally knew what Zhen Huan meant. She was worried that the queen would find out something."

"She shook her head and said, 'Madam Jiang Fuhai is too tight-lipped. I tried to find out a lot but couldn't find out anything. But seeing that she looks calm, I guess it's nothing serious.'"

"There was some uncertainty in Cui Jinxi's voice. After all, she had been in the palace for a long time, so she had some understanding of the queen."

"If it wasn't a big deal, the Queen wouldn't have ignored the Emperor's thoughts and sent someone to invite him at this time! So not only Zhen Huan is worried, Cui Jinxi is also a little worried."

"But she knew that Zhen Huan couldn't be too worried at this time. If the heir in her belly was hurt, it would be more trouble than gain. So she could only comfort Zhen Huan in this way."

"Zhen Huan stretched out her hand and rubbed it on the teacup unconsciously for a while. Jin Xi, are you sure you have cleaned up everything that needs to be cleaned?"

"Don't worry, Madam. Little Yunzi has some skills. He has been tied up with stones and thrown into the lake. Even if he didn't die at that time, he must have died after sinking in the water for a few days. Madam, don't worry."

"Ugh! These words made Zhen Huan dry heave. Cui Jinxi hurried forward and gently patted Zhen Huan on the back. This servant deserves death. I shouldn't have said these words that made Your Majesty uncomfortable. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"After a while, Zhen Huan came over and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, it's already been done, so there's no need to talk about it anymore. Don't show any of it in front of Liu Zhu. She is a simple person and doesn't have the intention to hurt anyone."

"Don't worry, Madam. I was under the watchful eyes of Miss Liu Zhu when I did these things. She will definitely not find out at all!"

"Yes! And Huanbi, you go to the West Side Palace later and tell them to behave themselves. Concubine Chun just died, and everyone in the harem is still staring at Bitong Academy!"

If she were to do something coquettish and evil at this time, and Concubine Hua or the Queen knew about it, they would definitely not let her off easily!

Yes, I will inform He Yi. When she came today, I didn't want to let her in, but I considered that the Emperor was here and it would not look good if there was a disturbance.

"I'm relieved. I didn't bring any trouble to the queen. She was quite smart. She delivered the gifts and left without any trouble. That's good. I'm relieved."

"No matter how worried Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi were about the purpose of Yixiu's action, the couple still sat opposite each other in the skylight."

"Yi Xiu had someone serve tea to the emperor before she spoke; I shouldn't have invited the emperor at this time, but the matter is urgent and I have no choice but to...～..."
