An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong's time out of the palace to visit his father and mother began to increase. He would often go to Xiuzhuang to visit his father and mother during his free time from the palace by intervening in the drug procurement matters of the Imperial Pharmacy Department. Because of the tense situation, she was worried and even asked people to start building an underground shelter in the courtyard of Xiuzhuang. It was filled with food and daily necessities. The family would not leave the house and would hide in it for one or two people. Months are not a problem.

Most of the medicines purchased in the palace have corresponding suppliers, except for a few rare medicinal materials, which need to be purchased by themselves. An Lingrong asked the purchaser to go purchase by themselves, and then meet at the designated place within the specified time. She then went to the clothing store to find Lingrou, and the two of them came to a secluded place. An Lingrong asked Lingrou if the information she wanted was obtained in time.

An Lingrong took out a handful of golden melon seeds from his arms and stuffed them into Lingrou's hand. Lingrou pushed them away and refused to accept them, saying that An Lingrong saved her life, so why would she care? Money, these external things.

An Lingrong asked: "Is there any latest news coming out from the Junggar Khanate now? Is there any news about the upcoming war?"

Lingrou shook her head and said seriously: "Sister, according to the new news yesterday, Su Wan'er did have someone secretly protecting her, and someone escorted her to the Junggar Khanate safely. She is alive and well now. If there is any news over there, War, but I haven’t received any news about the war.”

An Lingrong secretly thought that the emperor was distracted by the fight between the queen, E Min, Prince Dun and Zhen Yuandao. He seemed to have ignored the big threat of the Junggar Khanate.

"Lingrou, if we leak out the incident that Xiang Concubine testified against, what do you think the consequences will be? It will definitely trigger greater conflicts. Find a reliable person to pass the news on! It's just that the Qing Dynasty sent to Junggar to get married. The princess was born to a brothel woman, and the child’s father is unknown. Su Waner can also be designated as Shisan’s mother. However, this news can only be brought to the king of the Junggar Khanate and cannot be spread among the people. , otherwise it will cause public outrage, do you know what should be done? Lingrou, you are not doing this for me alone, but for the entire Qing Dynasty," An Lingrong warned.

Lingrou nodded and followed the order, promising that reliable news would come back within three days.

An Lingrong waited patiently. In addition to meeting the queen every day, he went to the Royal Pharmacy Department for his shift. After returning, he kept weeding flowers in the yard quietly, wearing gloves, peeling off the yellow branches and leaves of each flower and grass. , Be careful and very focused.

The waiting time was usually very difficult. She didn't want to sit down and wait. Once she sat down, she would think of Lingrou. She wondered if she had found the right person and accurately conveyed the news to the Junggar Khanate and Ce. In front of Lingrou, and this person cannot be left alive, this must be a challenge for Lingrou.

Perhaps, he shouldn't drag her into the water and let her hands be stained with blood, but if not, how can she be used by him?

An Lingrong sighed softly, feeling a trace of self-blame in his heart, but she quickly suppressed it again.

Finally on the third day, Qin Sanyue took the note from the pigeon. An Lingrong quickly took off his gloves stained with yellow soil, threw the triangular hoe into the flower bed, called Qin Sanyue and returned to the palace. , screened the people away, leaving only Qin Sanyue, the two of them discussed the information.

According to Lingrou's information, after the news was passed to Ce Ling, Ce Ling was furious after hearing it. He heard that he smashed the large table where he usually ate with his palm and kicked Su Waner out. He loudly scolded Su Waner for lying and others. It is said that Su Waner is Shisan's biological mother, but Su Waner is from Xirulou, and Shisan's biological father doesn't even know who he is.

How could Ce Ling bear such a shame and humiliation? He immediately drew his sword to kill Su Waner and Shi San, but was tightly held back by the surrounding soldiers, and Ce Ling himself was unable to do anything.

Ce Ling was furious. On the night he received the news, he held Shisan and looked at the "Celestial Image", then handed Shisan to Su Waner to stay in the tent, guarded by three thousand soldiers. He took Shisan with him. One hundred thousand troops, approaching the border of the Qing Dynasty in the west.

The war broke out, and the border areas were deployed and heavily guarded.

When the emperor received Ce Ling's challenge, instead of being angry, he was very happy. This battle had been his long-cherished wish.

The emperor immediately forgave Zhen Huan and lifted Zhen Huan's grounding, just because the emperor needed Zhen Yuandao and even more Zhen Heng.

The emperor immediately ordered Zhen Heng to lead an army of 100,000 to the west for support.

But no one expected Ce Ling to be not only brave and resourceful, but also to conquer cities and territories along the way with unparalleled bravery.

On the western border, there were 300,000 troops stationed there. Half of them were under Nian Gengyao's orders. The leader was a general named Zuo Yuxian. This man was Nian Gengyao's old subordinate and was loyal to Nian Gengyao. He was highly regarded by the emperor for fighting. When Nian Gengyao was in power, he rarely lost a battle.

But this time, for some unknown reason, the troops led by Zuo Yuxian were defeated by Ce Ling's army and were beaten back by Ce Ling. Zuo Yuxian was accidentally captured alive by Ce Ling, which was really shocking.

Fortunately, Zhen Heng led the army in time and blocked the loophole in time. Although he lost a general, he at least forced Ce Ling back outside the border.

The battle news on the front line was sent to the emperor in the form of memorials, which were rushed for eight hundred miles every day. The emperor was so anxious that he could not sleep well at night.

He had been preparing for this battle for a long time, but he had never faced Ce Ling head-on before and underestimated the opponent's power.

The emperor also summoned An Lingrong to see him again and again. The news that An Lingrong ordered Lingrou was what the emperor requested. The emperor said at the time that he did not want to be too conspicuous and knew An Lingrong's backstory. There was a force in the world supporting her behind her. It could be seen in his eyes how important An Lingrong was to him. The emperor needed her and was increasingly inseparable from her.

The emperor praised An Lingrong and said: "Li Bin, you handled the matter quickly and accurately this time. Our purpose is to arouse Ce Ling's anger, force him to take action first, and make public opinion turn to the side of the Qing Dynasty. It is he Provoking first, causing trouble first. In order to defend, our Qing Dynasty had to take action to suppress the rebellion. However, we did not expect that Ce Ling's ability exceeded my expectations. Fortunately, Zhen Heng took action. We have mobilized the soldiers who can be mobilized in the Qing Dynasty and reversed the adverse trend. However, if this battle is fought, both sides will suffer losses. If you want to win with less, you have to use more brains. Use more brains." The emperor patted his head. Full of confidence, but also very anxious.
