An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The emperor gently put down the brush in his hand, his eyes were somewhat intriguing, and he looked at An Lingrong motionlessly. An Lingrong felt her scalp numb and a chill rising from the soles of her feet. She said bravely: "Your Majesty , I don’t know what else to say, I’m all ears.”

A slight smile appeared on the emperor's face, and he said with a touch of stoicism: "Li Bi, you have been working hard recently. Li Bi did not sleep well last night. I saw that your face is slightly yellow, and there is a faint trace of light beside your eyes. The dark circles under your eyes must be because the things I asked you to do are complicated. Well, I want you to eliminate stress, so I will tell you a good way to reduce stress. "

An Lingrong touched her face. When she got up early this morning and looked in the mirror in Yining Palace to dress up, she remembered that her face was white and red, with no trace of yellowing. Where did the dark circles come from? But the emperor said you have dark circles, you just have dark circles.

An Lingrong lowered his eyebrows and said, "What the emperor said is true. I did go to bed very late last night. In the early hours of the morning, I was still tossing and turning in bed, thinking about the Dzi Bead all the time. Even the thick wedding makeup couldn't cover it up. The dark circles under my eyes make the emperor laugh, I will definitely go to bed early tonight."

The emperor stood up, looked at her with approval, gently clasped An Lingrong's shoulders with his slender white fingers, and gently moved them into his arms. He leaned down and pressed against her earlobe and said, "Then... Relax, I order you, within three days, go to Tangli Palace to cut down all the crabapple trees that I rewarded Wan Bin. You must be gentle in your actions, so as not to let me and Wan Bin waste their time. The crabapple tree planted with care and care must be intact when it is cut down.”

An Lingrong's eyes turned to ice, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. The hands around her waist gradually tightened, and a warm voice came from her ears: "Go, I will support you, Li Bin is better off. Be afraid! Zhen Yuandao dared to say something against me behind my back, so I treated him lightly, let’s just treat it as a small punishment for Zhen Yuandao!”

An Lingrong resisted slightly: "Your Majesty, I don't have the strength to tie a chicken with my hands. The crabapple tree in Tangli Palace is so tall that it takes several people to circle around it. I'm afraid I might miss the Emperor." ....”

The emperor blocked her lips with his mouth. After a while of lingering, the emperor said: "Go! Don't disobey my will!"

An Lingrong bowed her body and exited the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. The breeze came in waves, and her confused thoughts were instantly corrected, and she couldn't help but feel angry:

Damn Wang Xuanling! The emperor Wang Xuanling's move that seemed to be a compliment actually punished Zhen Yuandao and An Lingrong. The emperor must have been well aware of E Min's injured ear!

In Tangli Palace, An Lingrong held Zhen Huan's hand and said awkwardly: "Sister Wan, something really ridiculous happened today. The emperor asked me to cut down all the crabapple trees in Tangli Palace to show my respect to my sister and her father. punish."

Zhen Huan's face was filled with sadness, and then she burst into tears and said in tears: "Sister An, what do you know? When the emperor personally transplanted these crabapple trees to Tangli Palace, he held my hand under the big crabapple tree. He who made a promise and swore an oath.”

An Lingrong sighed silently: "What promise did you make? I reminded my sister early in the morning that I can't betray the emperor's favor, but I also don't treat the emperor sincerely. Has my sister forgotten all these? The emperor's promise. , how can it be taken seriously?”

Zhen Huan wiped her tears gently, but there were still tears in the corners of her eyes. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, he once told me personally that his love for me in this life is evidenced by the crabapple tree. The crabapple tree His love for me is here. If the crabapple tree is gone one day, then in the heart of the emperor, I will no longer exist like the light smoke on the first floor. "

Zhen Huan tried hard to control her emotions, but the pain in her eyes emerged layer by layer.

An Lingrong comforted: "E Min impeached my sister's father, and then I instigated Qin Sanyue to cut off half of E Min's ear. Is the emperor taking it out on me? My sister has not made the slightest mistake, so the emperor's heart is natural I remember my sister."

Zhen Huan held the handkerchief and covered her chest tightly and said: "If the emperor really cares about me, why would he be willing to cut down the crabapple tree in Tangli Palace?" Huge tears were surging, almost bursting. Her eyes.

An Lingrong thought: "Sister, I think cutting down a few trees can calm the emperor's heart and stop him from pursuing the matter that my sister's father said about the emperor. When weighed, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Sister, you see Woolen cloth!"

Zhen Huan sighed faintly and said: "Sister, please take this matter slowly. The emperor has already been so ruthless. I don't want to pay attention to him anymore. Please send a message to the emperor, please tell me my original intention." Tell the emperor. If he still wants to chop it down, I won’t bother my sister to do it myself. My father made a mistake. I should chop down the crabapple tree in Tangli Palace myself. "

An Lingrong had no choice but to carry Zhen Huan's thoughts and return to the Yangxin Hall to find the emperor.

The emperor's dull eyes turned from anger to joy, and he could not hide the light in his eyes and said: "Li Bin, Wan Bin, did she really say that? She said that I had made a wish with her, saying that the Begonia tree would be there when I was in love. If the Begonia Tree is gone, the love will disappear? I didn't expect that Wan Bin would still remember this. She thought that after all I had done to her, she would not be able to be with me, but she still felt the same way, yes. good!"

An Lingrong said cautiously: "Your Majesty, are the crabapple trees in Tangli Palace still being cut down?"

The emperor rolled his eyes and said: "Cut it, why not chop it? Zhen Yuandao, this matter is not over yet! There is no reason to take back my decree!"

An Lingrong smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Sister Wan said that if the Emperor knows her intention and she still wants to chop it off, I won't bother the concubine to do it herself. She only needs to bring the words to Sister Wan and she will do it herself." The things that have been taken care of have to be cut down, and she does it herself. This is what Sister Wan said.”

The emperor was silent for a while and thought deeply: "As for Li Bin, just listen to Wan Bin. Isn't she in charge of the power of the Sixth Palace? She can cut it herself. No, Su Peisheng, bring me a knife. I'll go to Tangli." The palace accompanies Concubine Wan to chop down trees."

As expected, the emperor, accompanied by Su Peisheng, went to Tangli Palace in person with a sharp knife and cut down the crabapple tree.

While Zhen Huan was crying, she waved the knife in her hand and chopped down the tree.

All the eunuchs and maids in Tangli Palace, including An Lingrong, stood aside and watched this scene quietly, unable to say a word.

After all the medium and small crabapple trees in Tangli Palace were cut down, the remaining large ones were too big to be chopped down, so the emperor gave up.

Afterwards, the emperor took the knife and walked away with Su Peisheng, leaving only Zhen Huan who was crying and flushed.
