An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong checked the color of the medicinal soup. The medicine was slightly lighter and it would take about half an hour.

She sat in a chair nearby, picked up a medical book in her hand, and looked at it intently. There were still used herbs on the table on the other side, giving off the unique fragrance of herbs. For some reason, she preferred the taste of herbs to the taste of spices. Herbs are used to condition and heal, while spices are used to cover and nourish the skin.

Beyond the towering walls of Cuihe Hall is the deep blue sky, with mountain peaks in the distance, a gentle breeze blowing, and heavy tree shadows. Silence is louder than sound at this time.

An Lingrong closed the medical book and placed it on her chest and abdomen, listening to the wind and feeling the warmth of the sun pouring on her exposed skin.

After a while, she smelled the smell of herbs getting stronger, so she stood up, asked Ju Qing to put out the excess charcoal and firewood, and carefully boiled the pot full of water until only a bowl of medicinal soup remained. He picked it up, shook it gently again and again, nodded with satisfaction, put it into a meal box, and personally delivered it to Wan Gui of Sui Yuxuan.

After lunch, An Lingrong was taking a nap with his eyes squinted in Cuihe Hall. Many things happened yesterday, which made his habit of having headaches every night in the middle of the night come back again. He had been in pain for half a night and was still sleepy and exhausted in the morning. , the dark circles under my eyes were so thick and heavy that even rouge and powder could not cover them.

Suddenly, I heard a small stool blowing in like a whirlwind from outside the door. His voice was so surprised that he said incoherently: "My lord, Su... my father-in-law is here. Your Majesty will reward you with many things this time!"

An Lingrong stood up immediately, smelling the fragrance of herbs all over her body, and quickly asked Baojuan to pick out the latest lavender dress for her, arrange her hair, and hurriedly slapped the new dress on her face. of rouge.

Eunuch Su's face was full of smile, he slightly arched his body and congratulated An Lingrong: "Congratulations to An Lingrong. The emperor's holy edict is in the hands of this slave. Let An Changzai see it by himself. The emperor said that the surprise should be arranged by An Lingrong." Always watch carefully by yourself.”

Without waiting for An Lingrong to express his gratitude, Eunuch Su smiled and accepted the silver coins Qin Sanyue handed him, and left with the eunuchs happily.

The surprise that An Lingrong could think of related to the imperial edict was probably the word "canonization". She opened the imperial edict and saw that the words written in new ink were fragrant and freshly written. The general meaning was that An Lingrong had done a good job in repelling the enemy, and Qin Sanyue had done a good job in protecting the master. Both the master and the slaves praised An Lingrong, and then An Lingrong Lingrong was promoted to Anguiren.

An Lingrong smiled faintly. She did not expect that she would be promoted so quickly. She has no heirs, but Wan Guiren also has no heirs. Wan Guiren relies on the emperor's favor, but she relies on "merit in defeating the enemy"?

Could it be that the emperor mentioned her small contribution to the real world in order to distract the attention of the concubines in the harem from Wan Guiren?

It is difficult for people to figure out whether the emperor's thoughts are true or false. When the auspicious time comes, An Lingrong wears new clothes, a new crown, and new shoes in the harem, and is promoted to "Anguiren"

Apart from the three original nobles in the palace, the other two nobles are An Lingrong and Zhen Huan.

An Lingrong carefully looked through the gifts given by the emperor. There were beauty tonics, dazzling silks and satins, rare treasures and antiques, etc. The emperor also rewarded the eunuchs and palace maids. Apart from Qin Sanyue, who was brought in from outside the palace by An Lingrong, there were four other maids and four eunuchs.

Qin Sanyue greeted the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and together with Baojuan and the small stool, they moved boxes from outside the palace to the palace non-stop.

An Lingrong stood calmly at the door, accepting everyone's congratulations calmly: The Queen sent someone to deliver a big box, but she didn't know what was in it; although Concubine Hua was still grounded and could not leave the palace, she sent Zhou Ninghai also sent a big box, which was bigger than the queen's. Concubine Qi, concubine Jing, nobleman Fucha, Wan Changzai, Chun Changzai, and even concubine Li also sent her gifts.

Except for Wan Changzai and Chun Changzai, she took them apart and looked at them. Wan Changzai sent calligraphy and paintings, and Chun Changzai sent food. As for the others, they were all sealed and sent to the warehouse. As for the Queen and Hua She told Qin Sanyue that when the concubine had the opportunity to leave the palace, he could take the things he had rewarded with him, pawn them at a pawn shop, and exchange them for silver.

"Good luck to you An Gui. According to the news from various sources this morning, everyone in the palace is normal. Only Concubine Jing has left the palace." Qin Sanyue said in a low voice.

"Oh, did Concubine Jing leave the palace for something, or did she leave the palace for a while?" An Lingrong asked intentionally or unintentionally.

She knew clearly in her heart that Concubine Jing had not left the palace for nearly half a year, and this time she left the palace for something important.

"Hui'an noble sir, Concubine Jing left the palace secretly this time. She did not take a carriage, but was alone, with only one maid. Moreover, Concubine Jing even pretended to be a maid and left the palace secretly at dark. At that time, the guards at the palace gate happened to be on duty, and the guard was the loosest." Qin Sanyue's words confirmed that Concubine Jing had something going on in her heart.

An Lingrong took a sip of hot tea, calmed down, frowned slightly and said: "Then the eyeliners outside the palace should be more careful to see where the concubine went when she left the palace, who she came into contact with, and what she did. Check everything out one by one."

Qin Sanyue obeyed and left. An Lingrong suddenly felt that the scent of the sweet-scented osmanthus flower in her hand seemed to have disappeared. Her sixth sense was particularly accurate. It must be something bad for Concubine Jing to leave the palace in a low-key manner.

After dinner, Qin Sanyue came to report: Concubine Jing turned left and right in the capital, using blinding methods, and walked most of the circle around the capital. Finally, she arrived at a magnificent mansion, which was heavily guarded, and those following her could only Following from a distance, I saw that Concubine Jing went in empty-handed, went there for about half an hour, and came out empty-handed again. When she came out, she was still afraid of being discovered, looking around, peeping her head, and wrapping her head heavily with a silk scarf.

"Whose mansion is that? There are so many dignitaries in the capital! The most magnificent one is Longkodo's mansion." An Lingrong affirmed.

Qin Sanyue lowered his voice to the lowest level, took a step closer and said: "Master, the concubine Jing went to Longkodo's mansion. She seems to be familiar to the people in Master Tonglong's mansion. The guard does not need to look inward when entering." Please inform me that the imperial concubine can come and go freely."

When did Concubine Jing and Long Keduo have an affair? Does the Queen Mother know this? Does the emperor know?

At this juncture, why did Concubine Jing go to see Longkodo?

"Concubine Jing has returned to the palace, is there any news?" An Lingrong asked thoughtfully.

"Master, after Concubine Jing returned to the palace, she has been staying in Xianfu Palace without leaving home." Qin Sanyue responded.

"Now that Concubine Jing has entered the palace, let's talk about it. Let's continue to send people outside the palace to keep an eye on Longkodo's mansion. It will be the focus of attention. If anything happens, report it in time." An Lingrong ordered.
