An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

After three rounds of drinking, Concubine Hua's face had a faint blush, as bright as a peach blossom.

Concubine Hua looked at it dreamily: "Your Majesty, I have a gift to present to your Majesty today."

The emperor said calmly: "Hua Changzai has almost eaten, so just rest. I'm tired too."

Concubine Hua shook her head and said: "No, Your Majesty, I have carefully prepared a solo dance for Your Majesty, and I also ask Your Majesty to show your favor."

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Hua coldly, but got a scornful expression in return. Concubine Hua had looked down on her since she entered the palace. Even though she had been rising all the way, from An Changzai to Li Guiren, she still didn't Entering Concubine Hua's eyes.

An Lingrong pulled the corner of his mouth slightly. It was still unclear who would win.

An Lingrong's slender figure floated in attendance, standing behind Concubine Hua. She smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to sing and dance with Concubine Hua."

According to her current status, An Lingrong is a noble person, a few ranks higher than Concubine Hua's current position. She is willing to dance with Concubine Hua. In the eyes of outsiders, she has actually given Concubine Hua a step up and sold her face. give her.

Perhaps, Concubine Hua was worried about being alone. Seeing someone assisting her, she eagerly agreed: "Your Majesty, let me dance for you."

Wanbi took off the beige horizontal flute she carried with her from her waist, brought it close to her mouth and started blowing.

Hui concubine fetched a harp, and the sound was melodious.

The emperor's attention was instantly attracted. Concubine Hua was dancing vigorously at the side, but the emperor did not look at her sideways.

The ensemble of An Lingrong and three other people stopped. Concubine Hua was still dancing in place. Perhaps her limbs were a little stiff because she hadn't practiced dancing for a long time. The emperor waved his hand to her.

Concubine Hua wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathed heavily while stroking her chest, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished dancing yet, I'm going to continue dancing..."

The emperor sighed and said: "Zhou Ninghai, take Hua Changzai back to the cold palace. You can't step out of the cold palace without my permission. Go ahead..."

Concubine Hua didn't get angry. Instead, she felt happy, said goodbye to the emperor with a smile, and walked away with her head turned three times.

The next day, which was exactly one day before the emperor's birthday, the festive aftertaste in the palace had not yet faded.

An Lingrong received Qiaoyu's reward, saying that when Xia Ruchun was enjoying flowers in the Imperial Garden, she was pushed to the ground from behind the rockery. Although the distance from the rockery to the ground was not as high as a story, she landed feet first and was injured. The knee was broken, and the place where it fell was exactly the same as the place where Hui concubine had fallen. The concubines in the harem said that there was a ghost in that place, and no one dared to stop there to admire the flowers.

In the Cuihe Hall, the Queen and the noble Fucha were sitting on the left and right of Xia Ruchun. An Lingrong went to visit Xia Ruchun and gave her some plasters.

......

"Bah bang bang!" In the middle of the night, when she couldn't see her fingers, An Lingrong heard someone banging on the door of Cuihe Hall. She quickly woke up little Yunzi and went to open the door. Little Yunzi came back and reported in a low voice: "Ms. An, it's the palace. Concubine Li, if you have any urgent matters, please contact Concubine An."

Concubine Li's voice was sad. She did not enter the palace door, but stood outside the door and whispered: "My lord Li, Mrs. Xihua contracted tuberculosis in the palace. She was afraid that the emperor would know that she would lose the only thing in his heart. A little bit of love, so she asked me to invite Mr. Li to the Leng Palace to inquire about her condition. If Mr. Li intends to rescue her, Mrs. Xihua promises to leave the Leng Palace one day and will give her full support to Mr. Li! "

Every word Libi said was like a nail piercing into An Lingrong's heart, irritating her stomach.

An Lingrong blurted out without thinking carefully: "Empress Li, do you think it is possible for me to rescue Concubine Hua? She has so many lives on her hands. Even you yourself almost died at her hands. How is it possible?"

Concubine Li was not in a hurry. She sighed to herself and said slowly: "My lord Li, regarding the past, you don't have to take over this mess. Mrs. Xihua is not a kind person, but As far as the current situation is concerned, you are a smart man, but it is a pity that you are kind-hearted. Why did you bring the unconnected little eunuch back to Cuihe Palace? Now everyone in the palace is saying that everyone in your palace has the plague, except me. I came to visit you in the middle of the night, and not even my concubine dared to step out of the palace! Depending on how favored you are in the palace, in front of the emperor, outsiders can see that you are not more than you, and you are not less than you. Young Master. Your Cuihe Palace, I’m not telling you, will only become more and more deserted!"

An Lingrong folded her hands in front of her chest, showing a message of caution. She said slowly: "I don't have to worry about it now, Fei Libi! Thank you very much for your concern. Speaking of which, in the middle of the night, if Fei Libi gets infected, It's a cold or something. Don't be mistaken by the palace people that you will be in trouble if you have the plague. Aren't you worried about your own safety? Look, even the emperor hasn't been to Cuihe Hall for several days!"

Li Bin smiled softly outside the door: "It's rare for Mr. Li to be so courageous, but has Mr. Li ever thought that if Mr. Li got the plague and went to the Liuli Palace, then Mrs. Xihua's tuberculosis would no longer be tuberculosis? It may have become a plague, Mr. Li, please think carefully!"

An Lingrong was stunned for a moment. Empress Li's words hit her right away. She took two steps back, her back hit the cold wall, and she used strength to support her back. After a while, she regained her composure. She deliberately He lowered his voice and said: "Empress Li, do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone?!"

Isn’t Concubine Li a party member trained by Concubine Hua? Although there was some quarrel in the process, it was not enough to make her feel persecuted towards Concubine Hua, and now she wants Concubine Hua to die!

What's going on between them? An Lingrong's eyes grew colder little by little, turning into ice, and chill filled her eyes.

But she didn't ask. If Libi wanted to say something, she would naturally tell the truth.

So far, Empress Li has been in the harem for many years, but she has not given birth to any of the emperor's children in the harem.

Concubine Li stamped her feet outside and said, "Yes, I want Concubine Hua to die! If Mr. Li can achieve this, I will be obedient to Mr. Li from now on."

So is Concubine Hua really suffering from tuberculosis or is she just trying to take this opportunity to get herself into trouble? !

An Lingrong suddenly realized that she was in danger. At that time, she just saved a life with the benevolence of a doctor. She didn't think too much about it. Who could have known that such a trivial thing could be taken advantage of? The impact has expanded to the point where snipe and clam are fighting over each other.

After weighing the pros and cons, An Lingrong still rejected Empress Li without hesitation: "Empress Li, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have the "plague" now. Even if I want to go out, everyone in the harem will The emperor, the queen and the queen mother do not dare to let me go out. I will never leave the palace in Cuihe Hall from now on. If Concubine Li really cares about me, she will never go near Cuihe Hall again. Wait for this Let’s talk about it after things calm down.”

An Lingrong looked up at the sky and tapped her forehead. It was dark everywhere in the middle of the night. She quickly went back to the house to sleep. As for Li Bin, she could stand outside the door if she wanted!

After a while, An Lingrong heard Libi's rustling footsteps leaving. Fortunately, it was windy at night in this season, but it was not cold, and it was even a little hot.

The room in Cuihe Palace suddenly became cold. An Lingrong felt like she had been sentenced. The emperor declared all this with his coldness. The next day, Doctor Wen came to see her with a medicine box and a gauze cover. .
