An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

Chapter 24 Rescue and Punishment

The bird's nest is still there, but the mood to eat it is gone.

"Xia Chang committed the following crimes, and the first time she committed the crime, for the sake of the concubines interceding for her, she was given a lighter sentence and was sent to the Shenxing Department to punish the twenty-big board." The queen tried hard to overpower Concubine Hua, but in the end she didn't Be soft-handed.

After these twenty major blows, the delicate Xia Chang did not get out of bed for a month. There was no bleeding below the abdomen and above the legs. All she sustained were internal injuries, and there was a lot of congestion under the skin.

An Lingrong prepared a plaster to remove siltation and swelling, and applied it carefully to Xia Ruchun. Her hand was very gentle, but Xia Ruchun still felt extremely painful.

"It's been several days, why are you still screaming so loudly? This is too exaggerated." The noble Fucha who came over after hearing the sound looked at Xia Ruchun's injury with some glee.

"You are very lucky to have saved your life under Concubine Hua's eyes." Fucha said.

Xia Ruchun frowned, and the anger between her brows still lingered in her eyes: "Thankfully, I still expected the Queen to save my life, but in the end I still got this beating. Sister An, don't forget, I The punishment is for you, every yard is a yard, and what I owe you has been paid off."

"Xia Changzai, what are you talking about? What can't you promise?" The rich charismatic man immediately became alert.

"It's nothing, oh, it hurts. These dog slaves are not merciless at all. However, the queen still helped me on the table. I just didn't expect that a queen would have to look at Concubine Hua's face to say Why are we discussing with the Emperor? There is no trace of the Emperor at all." Xia Ruchun chattered on.

"Did the queen interrogate Sister Xia after she brought her back to the palace?" An Lingrong asked.

"What's the trial? I'm not guilty. When I returned to Jingren Palace, the Empress asked Huichun to bring a bowl of sesame tea for me and Liang Cairen to drink. After we drank it, she explained gently that if we made mistakes in the palace, we would be punished. You accepted the punishment and were caught on the spot by Concubine Hua. I won’t punish you. Concubine Hua can’t explain it to you. If Concubine Hua can’t get off the stage, she will cause trouble for you next time. Remember not to violate the palace rules in the palace, otherwise I will Even the palace can’t protect you.”

Xia Ruchun said that she was speechless after hearing what she said, so she could only accept the punishment and thank the queen for her tolerance and generosity, and her timely rescue.

Therefore, Xia Ruchun was able to win the twenty-eight games with a lot of thanks. An Lingrong thought, so it was reasonable for her to be extremely depressed.

"The queen also said that Concubine Hua is the most vicious person in this palace. Even the slaves in the palace must be punished, let alone the emperor's concubine. She is rewarded with ten feet of red. In this palace, anyone who enters from this palace must be punished. Since entering the palace, I have never seen any concubine rewarded with a red gift. Concubine Hua is really too arrogant. Even the emperor has not taken it seriously and does whatever she wants. By the way, you are young and ignorant, in the palace You must also know how to restrain yourself and not show off your sharp edge. Fortunately, Cui Jinxi came in time this time, otherwise your life would have been in danger while Xia Chang was here."

Xia Ruchun imitated the queen's tone and murmured.

Then she asked: "Isn't Aunt Jinxi Wan Changzai's aunt in charge of the palace? She is indeed an old man in the palace, and her responses are quick."

An Lingrong smiled and said: "When I saw Sister Xia's face of despair, I quickly called Sister Zhen and asked her to find someone to call the Queen. After all, only her aunt in charge of the palace was senior. Among the newcomers like us, Among them, Aunt Jinxi still has some weight."

Xia Ruchun said gratefully: "I see, Sister An has done her part. Mr. Fucha, is your bird's nest still there? I'm thinking that I need to eat bird's nest to recover quickly."

The noble Fucha rolled his eyes at her. She had already given the bird's nest to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong stood up and said, "The bird's nest is here. Sister Fucha gave it to me. I'll cook it right away."

An Lingrong washed his hands personally, took four taels of bird's nests, soaked them in Tianquan boiling water, picked out the black silk, and boiled them with a combination of tender chicken soup, top-quality ham sausage, and fresh mushrooms, and waited for the bird's nests to turn into When it turns jade-colored, it is put into the pot.

An Lingrong asked Baojuan to serve it to the noble Fucha and Xia Ruchun. Xia Ruchun took a small sip and then said: "This tastes very good. I didn't expect Sister An's cooking skills to be so good. Once I swallowed this bird's nest, I felt like my whole body was shaking." It’s mostly healed.”

An Lingrong signaled: "I have to thank Sister Fucha for providing the ingredients. The queen gave them to her, but she shared them with everyone. Sister Fucha is really good."

Xia Ruchun reluctantly arched her lips towards Mr. Fucha: "Thank you, Mr. Fucha."

The noble Fu Cha said calmly: "Xia Chang is welcome, I can't bear it."

Although the two are not reconciled, at least they are no longer fighting on the surface.

While the three of them were talking, there were heavy footsteps outside the palace, and someone was coming.

Aunt Jianqiu took Huichun and four eunuchs, carrying four large trays, which turned out to be gifts from the queen to Xia Ruchun.

An Lingrong thought: I just gave her a beating, and now the reward is in place, which is a sign of comfort.

The queen still has some tricks, using both soft and hard tactics, unlike Concubine Hua, who is not as tough as Concubine Hua.

Aunt Jianqiu led such a large group of people from Jingren Palace, through Shanglin Garden and Imperial Garden, through Concubine Hua's Yikun Palace, Shenmeizhuang and Concubine Jing's Xianfu Palace, and then to Yanxi Palace. She wanted to prevent others from letting others go. It’s hard to know.

If Concubine Hua knew about it, wouldn't she grit her teeth?

The worst thing is that Xia Ruchun, who had no control over everything, finally turned around and ended up in this situation.

An Lingrong couldn't help but feel heartache for Xia Ruchun.

Xia Ruchun looked over and over the things the Queen had given her, including silks and satins, and some for daily use.

When Aunt Jianqiu had gone away, the noble Fucha said to An Lingrong: "I thought the Queen would also reward her with bird's nests? This is just for playing, how can it be as good as nourishing her body and bones? She can't even stand up." She is tired, the Queen is just trying to comfort her as appropriate."

An Lingrong said: "Don't dampen her mood, she is happy now."

The noble Fucha said: "In a few days, when she is alive and well enough to go to the ground, she will definitely go to the concubines in the harem who can see her and talk about how good the queen is to her. People who don't know think that the queen is really good. He was so kind to her, but in reality, that’s all.”

An Lingrong advised: "Sister Fucha, Sister Xia is also a member of our palace. If she is looked down upon by others, will the entire Yanxi Palace also be looked down upon? As long as she doesn't do things too out of line. , just let her go."

The noble Fucha stopped talking. He said that the bird's nest just tasted good and he wanted to have another bowl, so he entered An Lingrong's palace again.
