The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

After Laba, the emperor fell seriously ill.

He, who had always been diligent, was so sick that he was unable to get out of bed.

The palace doctors provided continuous diagnosis and treatment, but the results were not good.

Important officials in the court began to look for famous doctors and good prescriptions for him among the people, and said that anyone who could cure the emperor would be rewarded handsomely.

Although the queen no longer had power in the palace, she still held a position and organized the concubines in the palace to serve the emperor every day.

When it was An Lingrong's turn, she secretly took the emperor's pulse.

The pulse is weak and the condition is critical.

A person's energy is just like a stove in the common people. What matters is that it is sustained and powerful. However, the emperor's stove was only concerned with burning it vigorously and making it bigger. He had already overdrawn the firepower for the next few years. There were already signs of a dimmed lamp and a ruined temple.

If you want to rekindle this half-extinguished flame, you have to take good care of it, and you can't get tired, angry, or impatient. But considering the emperor's temper, it may be difficult.

Countless thoughts surged in An Lingrong's mind at once: should she give a push or a pull?

These two thoughts tore at her madly, but finally she regained her senses. Her deployment was not yet complete, and she still needed the emperor, like a big tree, to block it for her.

An Lingrong had thought this before, but no one knew about it except her.

After she had this thought, she became more considerate than before.

This did bother the Queen, so she asked An Lingrong to help Concubine Jing prepare the New Year's Eve family dinner on the grounds that she was just starting to learn about palace affairs, and she didn't need to come to take care of her all the time.

An Lingrong felt relieved and focused on learning palace affairs from Concubine Jing.

After the Queen sent her away, she arranged for Shen Meizhuang to take care of the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace. She and Shen Meizhuang took turns taking care of the Emperor in the morning and evening, hoping that the Emperor would be able to see their hard work at first sight when he woke up.

Shen Meizhuang was very annoyed by this, but looking at the emperor with a sick face, an idea suddenly came to her mind, and from then on she worked even harder and more attentively.

That night the Empress was serving in the Yangxin Palace. The Emperor started to have a fever again in the afternoon. After the Imperial Physician prescribed some decoction to relieve the fever, the Emperor fell into a drowsy sleep.

The queen leaned against the head of the bed and dozed off with her eyes closed. In a daze, she seemed to hear the emperor calling out to her.

The queen woke up instantly, bent down and listened carefully to the emperor's mumbling in his sleep.

"Wan Wan, where are you?"

When the queen first heard this, she was a little bit unbelieving, but after listening carefully, she realized that it was indeed "Wan Wan". As for which "Wan" it was, the queen still needed to confirm.

She reached out and grabbed the emperor's arm, which was waving in the air. "Your Majesty, are you looking for your sister?"

The emperor grabbed the queen's wrist and put her hand against his chest: "Wanwan, I have waited for you for a long time, but I have never seen you in my dreams. Are you still blaming me?"

Hearing this, the queen's heart was filled with joy like a drum beating. There is always a way out. She didn't expect that the person who could save her from the predicament was her good sister.

No matter which "Wan" it is, as long as there is some similarity, it can always evoke the emperor's friendship in the past.

However, there has never been a precedent among our ancestors for a deposed concubine to return to the palace. What excuse can we find?

The Queen could not suppress her fanatical speculations and wished she could release Zhen Huan from Anqi Temple right now.

When Shen Meizhuang came to take over, the Queen gave a few brief instructions and hurried back to Jingren Palace.

She had thought it through clearly. The matter of letting Zhen Huan return to the palace had to be proposed by Zhen Huan herself, but how to make Zhen Huan take the initiative to propose it was what she had to prepare for.

At this moment, Zhen Huan, whom she was worried about, was in Anqi Temple, looking at the family letter that was sent to her after many twists and turns.

The small room was warm and cozy. Liuzhu placed chestnuts around the brazier. Soon, the room was filled with the sweet aroma of chestnuts.

Jingxi was mending the torn cotton jacket by candlelight. Seeing Zhen Huan smiling and frowning as she read the letter, she asked:

"Is there anything troubling you, sir?"

Zhen Huan put the letter down and sighed:

"My father wrote to me saying that everything is fine at home, but someone proposed to Huanbi, a nomadic deputy lieutenant, but Huanbi didn't want to. Also, Yurao will be thirteen next year, and mother is starting to worry about her marriage."

Jin Xi also sighed in her heart. The nomadic deputy captain was only a seventh-rank military officer. Given Miss Huanbi's arrogant attitude, she would definitely not be willing to do so. But this was a different time.

The Zhen family has fallen on hard times, and Huanbi has already reached her prime. If she continues to waste time like this, it will be difficult for her to find someone with better conditions in the future. However, Jingxi would not tell Zhen Huan these words. After all, they are a family, and they will always protect each other. She just asked politely:

"Does the letter explain why the Second Miss was unwilling?"

Zhen Huan naturally knew Huanbi's temper, she smiled helplessly:

"She said she was willing to serve her father for the rest of her life and didn't want to get married."

At this time, Liu Zhu brought the roasted chestnuts to Zhen Huan and said:

"Miss, try this, it's so sweet. And there's no need to worry about Sister Huanbi's marriage. I think it's good not to get married. Isn't it happy to live a life without worries?"

After Zhen Huan left the palace, Liu Zhu changed to her previous name.

After being interrupted by her, Zhen Huan's sadness over Huanbi becoming an old maid instantly faded a lot. She reached out and touched Liu Zhu's forehead:

"You, you are already over 20 years old, but you are still so childish."

Liu Zhu had her own explanation: "I don't want to get married. It would be great if I could accompany my young lady for the rest of my life. Although my life is a little hard now, I can live in peace. I don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing to bring trouble to my young lady."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan also nodded:

"I used to think that the long night with a green lamp was endless and silent, but when I really got to this point, I felt extremely peaceful in my heart. Everything is in front of me, and I can let it move and be happy. A life like this with a room, a book, and a cup of tea can be called a fairyland. It's just tiring for you to follow me through this hard life."

Liu Zhu was very annoyed with Zhen Huan's constant words of harassment: "I have already said that wherever the young lady is, I will be there. Didn't the young lady always say that she picked chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and saw the southern mountains leisurely? I think a day like this is just right."

However, Jin Xi heard the unfinished meaning in Zhen Huan's words:

"Are you worried about the Third Miss's marriage?"

Zhen Huan smiled at her and said, "Jin Xi knows me best. If there is anything that is not perfect, it is this. Ningguta is remote after all, and Yu Rao has talents that are not inferior to men. If she is buried in the border area because of this, I will always feel uneasy."

Liu Zhu came up with an idea:

"Miss, this is not difficult. We can ask Prince Guo to keep an eye on Miss Third in the capital, isn't that enough?"

Zhen Huan didn't know how to respond for a moment. Jin Xi glared at Liu Zhu:

"The Zhen family was personally questioned by the Emperor. The Third Miss's identity is fine in other places, but everyone has to avoid her in the capital. Besides, Prince Guo has helped us a lot, and we must not be involved in this matter again."

After being told this, Liu Zhu muttered, "Is there any way to get Miss San to return to Beijing?"

Zhen Huan couldn't help but say: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will grant amnesty to the whole world."

Jin Xi was so frightened that she stepped forward and covered her mouth:

"Don't say this nonsense."

Zhen Huan spoke too quickly for a moment, but she realized as soon as she came to her senses that she had said the wrong thing. The Zhen family had already suffered once because of their carelessness, and could not withstand any more turmoil. She smiled embarrassedly at Jin Xi and moved on to other topics.

There was a moment of joy in the side hall of Anqi Temple.

In the Jingren Palace in the Forbidden City, Jianqiu was frightened by the Queen's order and became incoherent.
