An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The noble Fucha still wanted to eat. An Lingrong looked at the pot. After Qin Sanyue, Baojuan, Juqing and Xiaostool each filled a bowl, the soup pot had bottomed out, leaving only the last few pieces of ginger lying on it. at the bottom of the pot.

The noble Fucha said: "Hey, it's gone so quickly. Sister An, please cook another pot when you have time. I just tasted some freshness, and Xia Changzai has finished it."

An Lingrong saw that he couldn't defeat the noble Fucha, and was afraid that she would make trouble against Xia Ruchun, so he made a new soup with the same ingredients.

An Lingrong cleaned all the ingredients and put them into the pot. Only the last step was left. Add water to cover the ingredients before cooking.

But unexpectedly, the water supply in the dining room was cut off. Little Stool checked the water pipes in the palace and said no problems were found.

The noble Fu Cha asked Yun Xin to follow the stool to the outside of the palace to check the situation.

"Why did the water stop so early today? My whole body smells like sweat, and there is a faint sour odor. I haven't taken a bath yet. I must get the water ready tonight, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." The noble Cha was a little anxious and ordered people to look around the palace.

After a while, Xiao Shizi came to report that many of the concubines in the palace had no water supply. The Xianfu Palace where Shen Meizhuang lived, and even Zhen Huan's remote Suiyu Pavilion also had no water supply.

An Lingrong felt puzzled. The water channel was in good condition just now, and there was no thunder or heavy rain. Otherwise, it would be said that the pipe was damaged by the flood.

The noble Fucha went out for a tour and happened to see Zhou Ninghai in Concubine Hua's palace.

The noble Fucha asked Zhou Ninghai to quickly deal with the water source matter.

Zhou Ninghai said: "Concubine Hua is unwell. There is no water in the palace. You go to the House of Internal Affairs to find Eunuch Huang. Eunuch Huang will ask someone to repair it."

The noble Fucha immediately turned her face away and walked away. She said she still clearly heard Zhou Ninghai’s cold snort.

A dog fights against human power! Besides, there is no water in other places, but the Yikun Palace where Concubine Hua lives is not in the same pipeline as other palaces. There is water in her palace, so naturally she is not in a hurry.

There is no water, and someone has reported it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is just a matter of time to wait for someone to repair it.

As a result, many concubines gathered in the imperial garden to relax and enjoy the scenery, except for Xia Changzai who had inconvenient legs and feet.

As soon as An Lingrong arrived at the Jade Book Pavilion, he saw Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang. The Jade Book Pavilion was the pavilion where the bird's nests of the rich and noble people flew up to the roof during the day. When they saw their group occupying the Jade Book Pavilion, Li Bin and Cao Guiren The group of people went to the Lotus Heart Pavilion, where the lotus flowers and green leaves were all over the sky, which looked particularly beautiful under the colored lights at night.

The Imperial Garden is divided into two parts. On the east side is the Xuanzhai Palace, which has twenty different styles. The garden is full of smart and beautiful pavilions. On the west side is the Qin'an Hall. The base of the hall is a Xumizuo made of white marble. The pillars The Hewang board is carved with vivid dragon and phoenix totems, and the water god is worshiped in the hall. Every year during the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Winter and other solar terms, the emperor would come here to burn incense and salute and pray for blessings.

After that, there are large areas of planting and flower beds, including the rose garden planted by the emperor specially for Concubine Hua, and the peony garden specially planted for the queen. Now the emperor has dedicated a piece of land in the imperial garden and planted it with various kinds of begonia flowers.

Shen Meizhuang said: "The emperor's begonia flowers were specially planted for Wan Changzai. The emperor said that he liked begonia flowers, so he asked people to transplant precious begonias from various places to add some different scenery to the imperial garden."

Zhen Huan wanted to see the crabapple flowers. An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan, and Fucha Guiren walked through the green grass with a short body. Anyway, it would take time to repair the water pipes, so they might as well go and relax. .

An Lingrong had just crossed a group of pine trees two people high when he saw an eunuch running out in a panic, and the two of them almost collided.

The eunuch hurriedly retracted his body, but his posture was unstable. Because the inertia of the rush was too strong, he fell back involuntarily.

Shen Meizhuang had quick eyes and quick hands, and took action in time to pull his arm back.

Zhen Huan asked: "In a panic, what's going on?"

Due to nervousness and impatience, the little eunuch's hand was grabbed by Shen Meizhuang until it hurt. He grinned and said, "Your Majesty, your strength is too great. It hurts this slave."

Shen Meizhuang quickly withdrew his strength. The little eunuch was panting heavily and couldn't speak for a long time. An Lingrong's heart couldn't help but tightened, and a bad thought came to his mind.

What day is it today?

Time flies by, and a long time has passed since I entered the palace on September 15th.

An Lingrong pinched his fingers and calculated round and round. Today...is an unlucky day.

The cold air on the soles of An Lingrong's feet suddenly rose up and went straight into her mind, making her briefly dizzy and unconscious. Fortunately, after a few seconds, her consciousness returned.

"No, something happened today."

Zhen Huan grabbed the eunuch and asked him to explain clearly.

The little eunuch murmured: "I was sent by Eunuch Huang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair... repair... the water pipes, over there."

Zhen Huan asked: "What happened over there?"

Shen Meizhuang said: "Speak quickly!" The harsh tone made the eunuch even more panicked.

He pushed away Shen Meizhuang's hand, held his head with both hands and panicked, running through the Begonia flower meadow, trampling on an aisle in the Begonia flower field, and fled quickly.

Zhen Huan looked at the damaged Begonia flowers and felt heartbroken: "Sisters, please wait here for a while while I go to see what's going on."

An Lingrong's face turned pale, and he quickly stepped forward to stop Zhen Huan: "Sister Wan, don't go, sister Shen, don't go. It's night now, and the eunuch was scared like this just now. It must not be a good thing."

Zhen Huan changed her mind and became curious, so she decided to take Shen Meizhuang to see it together.

An Lingrong tried his best to stop them, but to no avail, so he had to let them go. He stood far away in the pavilion beside the crabapple flowers, quietly waiting for their return with the noble Fu Cha.

Zhen Huan left with a smile on her face and excitedly, and soon returned the same way. Zhen Huan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and held her towering hair with one hand. There was no smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with fear as she ran away.

Then, Shen Meizhuang also came. Her face was frighteningly pale, and she followed Zhen Huan, not forgetting to tell An Lingrong to leave quickly.

An Lingrong and the noble Fu Cha, Shen Meizhuang, and Zhen Huan came to the Xianfu Palace, which was closest to the Imperial Garden. Zhen Huan let go of the silk handkerchief in her hand, vomited out loudly, retched once or twice, and stopped drinking water for dinner. , she left the palace in a hurry and didn't even eat much dinner.

An Lingrong patted Zhen Huan's back gently. Infected by the atmosphere, Noble Fucha asked in shock and fear: "Wan Changzai, Noble Shen, what happened? How terrible is it that the two sisters have been killed?" So scared."

Shen Meizhuang shook his head and sighed: "Noble Fucha, don't ask. We will tell you when we can breathe again."
