An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

It's not so much a cold palace as it is an abandoned old palace. Because it has been uninhabited for a long time, it is overgrown with vegetation.

An Lingrong cleaned up the cold palace and lived with Concubine Hui, while Concubine Hua lived in the palace next door to them, and they lived in peace overnight.

Early the next morning, everyone waited for the emperor in Kunning Palace.

Concubine Jing temporarily took over the power of associate administrator of the Sixth Palace.

The Queen Mother, the Empress, and all the concubines in the harem, except for the concubines, were all present.

The emperor's expression was serious, and An Lingrong felt a depressing and heavy breath in the air.

The Emperor Jiyan shouted sternly: "Murong Shilan, do you know your guilt?!"

Murong Shilan is Concubine Hua's real name. Concubine Hua did not shed tears even when she saw the coffin, but she still said sternly: "Your Majesty, where did I go wrong with this concubine? Please tell me, Your Majesty."

The emperor's brows and eyes were full of disgust, and he shouted loudly: "Kneel down, you secretly released the slaves from the Sentence Department, pretended to be a forbidden soldier, and cut off Ju Qing's hand. Although Ju Qing is just a maid, she is a concubine. Relatives brought from the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs, you know who Ju Qing is, she is not just a slave, she is Wan Bin’s distant sister, what are your intentions, in order to hurt Wan Bin, your intentions are extremely sinister."

The Emperor: "Zhou Ninghai has already confessed, saying that you were the one who forced the decoction to be given to Concubine Wan, you were the one who set the fire in Suiyuxuan, and you were the one who scratched and beat the injuries on Gui Li and Concubine Hui. In order to force them, Wan Concubine had a miscarriage, and she did not hesitate to tear down the door of Suiyuxuan, saying that the Queen has no heirs, and Mrs. Xihua has no heirs. How can I tolerate my heirs in this harem? In this way, in this harem, for many years, I didn’t give birth to an heir, are you the one who was hindering it?”

Concubine Hua retorted with anger on her brows: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. In this harem, the Emperor dotes on Concubine Wan, but there is no need to be so frank! The fire in Sui Yuxuan was caused by An Xiao What's the matter with the concubines? Besides, the fact that the harem has had no heirs for many years must be blamed on the concubines. The queen has also had no heirs for many years. When the queen was here, the concubines had not yet entered the palace. Palace! Your Majesty, what you say makes absolutely no sense!"

The emperor frowned, pressed his forehead with both hands, and was so angry that his neck was choked.

The emperor was furious: "Murong Shilan, do you still regard me as the emperor in your eyes? With the Murong family gaining power and Nian Gengyao gaining power, you don't need to take me seriously."

An Lingrong stood up and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Concubine, thank you, Mrs. Xihua, for giving me such a touching name. But like a bird flying high, no one in this palace can compare to Mrs. Xihua. You are as high as the sky." Fei, just as the emperor said, the power of the Murong family is overwhelming, Nian Gengyao ignores the court, how can he give up three thousand people for the sake of Mrs. Ten miles away is really appalling. You, the Murong family, are just two words short of that."

The emperor was startled for a moment, and unexpectedly suppressed An Lingrong's words: "Concubines in the harem are not allowed to participate in or discuss politics."

The emperor's tone was gentle, but he was blatantly hinting An Lingrong to continue.

After a pause, the emperor asked: "Master Li, what two words are missing from the Murong family?!"

An Lingrong looked around at everyone in the palace, full of righteousness, and said calmly: "When you return to the emperor, the only thing missing is "rebellion"!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The emperor's shocked pupils showed that this was not an attempt by An Lingrong to threaten Concubine Hua, nor was it a threat or intimidation to her.

She knew that she had just spoken to the emperor's heart.

Man, the higher you stand, the lonelier you feel. Especially a person like the emperor, who only sat on the throne of God after a bloody storm, would always be wary of someone thinking about his throne.

The reason why Prince Yunli of Guo County and Prince Xuanqing of Qinghe are alive today is because they stayed away from the court and did not participate in political affairs, thus preserving themselves.

An Lingrong only had one true idea. If she wanted to survive in the palace, she must get rid of Concubine Hua. As for whether the Murong family and Nian Gengyao would really rebel, she didn't know, but she could roughly guess that the emperor He was afraid and was always on guard against this.

Concubine Hua sneered and rushed towards An Lingrong in anger: "Well, An Xiaoniao, I still look down on you. You stir up trouble and marry someone else. You are so vicious that your intestines are full of bad water. Such Speaking of which, Yu Ying'er was the one who killed you?"

An Lingrong lowered his head and said: "Mrs. Xihua can suspect the concubine, but the concubine can also suspect that it was Mrs. Xihua who committed the murder to cover up people's eyes and ears, and later wanted to put the blame on her. After all, Mrs. Xihua did this. There are too many bad things to count. It must be Mrs. Xihua who told Yu Ying'er an ulterior mission. She couldn't complete it and did it in order to destroy the evidence..."

The emperor shouted angrily: "That's enough! I'm really going to be pissed to death! What have you made of this palace? It's a mess!"

The case was not over yet, and Cui Jinxi ran to the emperor out of breath.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Concubine Wan has had a miscarriage..."

The emperor was shaken, saddened, and murmured: "Murong Shilan, you are satisfied now."

The Queen Mother covered her face and cried bitterly. An Lingrong, Hui Bin and Jing Bin couldn't help crying.

Mrs. Xihua lost her arrogance and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I love the Emperor so much that I love you so much that I have been obsessed with my mind. Although I am jealous, I did not harm her child because of her. I am just I wanted to scare her, and I vented my anger, but I didn't really take away her child. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Everything I did was because of love. I love your Majesty~~~~~~"

An Lingrong's heart, which was hanging in the air, fell steadily to the ground. She knew that Concubine Hua would not be able to escape this time.

An Lingrong once wanted to risk his life to save the child in Concubine Wan's womb, but because of Concubine Hua's madness, if she had to choose, she was willing to sacrifice Concubine Wan's child in order to send Concubine Hua to hell!

If you can't save yourself or your concubine, then what's the use of having a child?

The emperor turned his back and walked out of the palace, leaving behind a series of cold words.

"Mrs. Xihua, Murong Shilan, has sinister intentions and evil intentions. He deliberately harmed my child. He used the imperial army to set fire and violated the palace rules. Arson in the palace is taboo. Both the mastermind and the accomplices are punishable by death. Please remember that Mrs. Xihua has served me for many years. In recognition of Gengyao's meritorious service during the war, she has resigned from the imperial concubine's position and has been living in the cold palace. Without my permission, she will never leave the cold palace."

Concubine Hua sat slumped on the ground, looked at the emperor's back and shouted: "I want to see my brother, the emperor summoned my brother to the palace, don't drag me, I will not go to the cold palace!"

Su Peisheng raised his hand, and Hua Er and Guo Jiu decisively dragged Concubine Hua away.

Wanbi's face was pale, and her eyes were weak and staring at the ceiling above her head.

The emperor couldn't hide his heartache, and gently tried to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of Wanbi's eyes. His movements were careful and hopeful, as if he were wiping a particularly precious piece of porcelain, and then he sighed heavily: "Wanbi, I have already wiped the remaining tears from my eyes. Concubine Hua lost all her positions and was relegated to the cold palace."
