An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong looked up at the sky. The sky was blue, the clouds were white and floating, and the sun was very warm on her body!

She smiled faintly. She felt nauseous when she woke up during breakfast today. She took a test quietly in her room and found that she was actually pregnant. Once what she had been hoping for came true, she was extremely surprised. Look at everything around you that is bright and bright.

She put on a light sick look. Since it was a plague, let's take advantage of it.

An Lingrong half-opened the palace door, and Wen Shichu was startled by his haggard appearance. However, An Lingrong closed the door halfway and forced Wen Shichu's right foot back from entering the palace door. She pretended After coughing twice, Wen Shichu was so frightened that he took two steps back.

An Lingrong's voice was hoarse and said: "Wen...Mr. Wen, I feel unwell, like I have a fever. I took some medicine and I feel better. Dr. Wen, please throw the medicine in so as not to infect you." .”

Wen Shichu inquired about her condition carefully. A series of symptoms such as aversion to cold, fever, loss of appetite, and heartburn were all symptoms of the current plague. Wen Shichu prescribed a medicine list and put the medicine list together with the medicine in a half-filled bottle. He slipped in through the crack of the door and told her to take her medicine well, take enough rest, and call him for consultation at any time if there was any situation.

An Lingrong put away the medicine and wrapped her lower abdomen with two layers of silk scarves. The longing that had been dormant in her heart came true. She was more anxious than any other concubine in the harem. She wanted to protect herself and a new life.

And the current inexplicable plague just helped her to hide the truth and put herself in danger, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Sure enough, the emperor never looked at her again, but what she didn't know was that the emperor would walk around her Cuihe Palace every once in a while, listening to the sounds inside, but he didn't come in to see her. .

An Lingrong heard about this from Wan Bin, who came to visit her at night, asked her about her situation through the palace gate, and stuffed her with a bunch of food.

An Lingrong hesitated again and again and did not reveal the news of her pregnancy to Wan Bin.

Three months have passed, and the fetus in An Lingrong's belly has passed the most dangerous period in the first three months. She successfully saved the baby.

In the Cuihe Palace, she wore Ruoda's casual clothes to cover her pregnancy, and even the eunuchs and maids in the palace didn't know.

It's just that Qiaoyu often teased her: "I have been locked up in the palace all day, but I don't see the empress missing food and tea. On the contrary, the empress eats well and sleeps well. Her appetite has increased, twice as much as usual. The empress is broad-minded and fat." , Your Majesty, don’t you miss the Emperor?”

An Lingrong said calmly: "I don't want to worry about the emperor. I listen to the bells ringing every day and know that the emperor is alive and well. I don't worry about him anymore."

Qiaoyu held her chin in her hands and said, "But Your Majesty, I haven't been to Cuihe Hall for a long time."

An Lingrong sat in front of the round table, copying a large pile of scriptures that Hui Bin brought from the Queen Mother's Palace. When she moved to the Queen Mother's Palace to raise her child, she gave An Lingrong most of the books she had read. .

An Lingrong copied scriptures by hand day after day. Even Xiao Shizi, Qin Sanyue, Qiaoyu and others practiced calligraphy when they had nothing to do. Xiao Jizi also found a copy of "Eighty-Two Zhaolang" Boxing", practice every day with a small stool to exercise.

An Lingrong turned over the incense in the palace and replaced it with fresh ones. Every few days, he would smell the fresh and unique fragrance. He lived a quiet and practical life, but his belly swelled day after day. After a few days, An Lingrong As time goes by, I am afraid that no matter how big the clothes are, they will not be able to hide the fact of pregnancy.

On this day, several parrots flew down from the sycamore tree. The golden feathers were very beautiful. An Lingrong held them in his hand and played with them carefully. He saw a small paper tube hanging under the thick feathers. If not, You really can't tell if you look carefully.

An Lingrong examined several of his parrots separately, only to find that one of them was used to convey information. There was a line of strong words written on the note: Hui Bin has been infected with the plague.

These gorgeous parrots were sent by No. 7, and An Lingrong's heart was extremely heavy.

She asked Xiao Shizi and Qin Sanyue to inquire about Hui Bin. The two young eunuchs came to the palace gate. When they opened the palace door, they unexpectedly found that the door was locked from the outside. Xiao Yunzi had quick eyes and quick hands and climbed out of the wall. , sitting on the wall, said: "Ms. An, our palace gate has been sealed and there is a warning sign of the plague. There are very few people in the palace. Looking from a distance, they are all wearing masks and tightly wrapped up and down. This formation should indicate a real plague."

An Lingrong asked Qin Sanyue and Little Stool to pry open the door. She decided to leave the palace. She put on a simple palace maid's outfit, and Qiaoyu also modified it in a low-key manner. The two of them were wrapped up tightly, making it difficult for outsiders to recognize them.

"Master Li, where are you going?" An Lingrong heard a deep male voice.

She turned her head suddenly, not expecting to be recognized so quickly.

On top of the huge stone lion in the right corner of Cuihe Hall, a man of majestic appearance is reclining, it is King Xuanqing of Qinghe.

He stepped forward in three or two steps, stared at An Lingrong for a long time and said: "Hey, it turns out it's really noble Li, dressed up like this palace maid, where is he going? It's extremely unsafe in the palace now, the plague has already Hengsheng, there have been four incidents in a row, Mr. Li, you should go back to the palace and take a good rest. If something goes wrong, how should I explain it to the emperor?"

An Lingrong said softly: "Why is King Qinghe so idle? He hides in the corner of Cuihe Hall. Everyone knows that the people in Cuihe Hall have the plague. Aren't you afraid of the infection?"

King Qinghe laughed and said: "I really have nothing to do, otherwise I wouldn't be assigned to you as a supervisor."

An Lingrong smiled lightly: "Who can call you King Qinghe?"

King Qinghe's face straightened, and he said seriously: "I'm here to protect you. I was really assigned here by the emperor. Prince Yunli of Guo County was assigned to Suiyuxuan to protect Wanbi's safety. I was sent here. It can be seen that the emperor How much I value you.”

"I don't know what the current situation of Empress Hui is. I am very worried about her now and want to visit her in the Queen Mother's Palace." An Lingrong said.

"The emperor is investigating the matter carefully, and the results will be available soon. It is true that Hui Bin contracted the plague. She was murdered. The emperor strictly interrogated everyone who came in and out of the Queen Mother's Palace in the palace yesterday. I heard that clues were found. ." King Qinghe said it quite relaxedly. An Lingrong involuntarily took two steps back, panting slightly, and hurried to Cuihe Hall without saying a word.

The parrots in the cages in the palace were noisy, and Qiaoyu, Xiaoshi and others were chattering. An Lingrong found it very noisy, so she waved to Xiaoshi to come over.

"Little Stool, go and burn all the parrots to death!" Qiaoyu couldn't bear to part with it. Xiaojizi grabbed a parrot and threw it into the bucket where the ashes were usually burned, stuffed a handful of paper into it, lit it, and listened to the parrot. The sound of the dying struggle in the bucket made her feel a little relieved.

"Tonight, we have to leave the palace."

"Empress, where are we going? King Qinghe is still guarding the door."

"Go through the back door and climb over the back wall to get out!" Qiaoyu was frightened, and the small stool was also in the air.

Only the new eunuch Xiaojizi, who had been picked up from a heatstroke in the imperial garden, followed An Lingrong calmly. He was very strong. He climbed over the wall by himself with a ladder and stood on tiptoe from the base of the wall. The feet lifted An Lingrong down.

An Lingrong made a new rouge, which had the same scent as the "Qigongqiao" that Concubine Hua usually used. However, An Lingrong added a medicinal ingredient to the rouge, so this kind of rouge was the favorite of the estrous cats in the palace.
