Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Alright, An agrees. You've seen it all. It's getting late. I won't keep you any longer."

Nian Shilan looked at An Lingrong and said that she was ready to go to the Queen.

"Sister, don't you like Lingrong being here?"

It looked like An Lingrong didn't want to leave yet. She lowered her head and muttered something softly.

However, Nian Shilan didn't want to pay attention to her now, so she didn't respond to her and just did her own thing.

"My lady, please go back. How could Her Majesty not welcome you? It's just that Her Majesty is busy now, so she will naturally invite you over another day."

The one who spoke was Jinxi, who walked An Lingrong out the door as she spoke.

I really don't understand An Lingrong. Concubine Hua's intention to send the guests away has been so obvious, but she still insisted on coming forward to get close to her. I really don't know what she is thinking.

Seeing what Jinxi meant, An Lingrong understood and left first.

I want to get closer to Concubine Hua, but I never had the chance. Now that I'm finally here, I was invited out by Concubine Hua in this way.

But now in the entire palace, the only one who can help me with my future is Concubine Hua. Now that the Queen has lost power, Concubine Hua is the only one favored. If I want to be favored, only Concubine Hua can help me.

Maybe because of what happened before, Concubine Hua is still wary of herself.

"Did you see how my sister treated me just now?"

An Lingrong was walking on the long street and suddenly asked Baojuan.

Baojuan is Concubine Hua's person, so she will naturally speak up for Concubine Hua: "Don't worry, my lady. Concubine Hua may be busy now. After all, Concubine Hua is in charge of the harem, and there are some things that she needs to do personally. It is inevitable that she will be distracted. It is common. Don't take it to heart."

An Lingrong felt that what Baojuan said made sense, so she nodded and went back to the palace.

However, her thoughts in her heart also became more resolute. Since Concubine Hua is so indifferent now, she should just show more kindness to her. After all, this is how she has been living for so many years.

I used to be nice to my aunt at home, and I thought things would be better after entering the palace. But I didn't expect that I would be like a transparent person in front of the emperor. If it weren't for Concubine Hua's help, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to see the emperor.

Never mind, I'll just move around more often in the future.

Over the past few days, An Lingrong has discovered that there is no one around Concubine Hua who can give her advice. If she could sit in that position, she would not have to worry about her future.

"My lady, why don't you go and get in touch with Concubine Wan more often? I've seen Concubine Hua go to Concubine Wan from time to time."

Baojuan suggested that this was actually what Nian Shilan meant.

It would be inconvenient for Nian Shilan to do anything by herself, but if it was An Lingrong, it would be different.

"Let's go."

An Lingrong's face didn't show much expression, but she obviously listened to Bao Juan's words: "Let's go to Sui Yu Xuan. We should also go see Sister Wan."

Ever since Shen Meizhuang was infected, the entire palace has been in panic. Wang Jin has already died, and everyone in the palace is afraid that they will be infected and become the second one.

However, An Lingrong was not as nervous about going to Suiyuxuan as she was about going to Yikun Palace. After all, Zhen Huan was just a small noble lady now, and she was just using her, not trying to curry favor with her like she did with Concubine Hua.

What's more, Concubine Hua does have real power in her hands, so she dare not act recklessly. Her decisive personality also makes people feel daunted.

There is a little more awe in my heart.

Naturally, the news of the Queen's lifting of the ban quickly spread throughout the six palaces, but the Queen herself was not so happy.

"The Emperor has released the Empress from her house arrest. The Empress should be happy."

Jianqiu was talking on the side, but the Queen looked listless, not much better than her previous headache.

"The Emperor only released me from my confinement and didn't say anything else. Logically, this shouldn't happen..."

The Queen sighed as she spoke. Ever since Su Peisheng conveyed the Emperor's order, she has never been happy.

She just couldn't understand. She had developed a prescription for the epidemic, which undoubtedly helped the emperor a lot. She should be punished for her mistakes and rewarded for her merits. But the emperor just casually said that and lifted her house arrest.

This was something the queen couldn't understand at all. If this happened to other concubines, it would at least be a reward for promotion.

Although she is already the queen, she is only in name only. Seeing that the power to manage the six palaces is in the hands of Concubine Hua, she is really unwilling to accept this!

"Don't worry, ma'am."

Jian Qiu must have understood what the Queen meant: "After all, it is a good thing that the Emperor has lifted your confinement now. There is still a long way to go. After all, you still have the Queen Mother behind you."

"It would be even better if Your Majesty could have a child. The Emperor is now middle-aged, and Your Majesty should consider it." Jianqiu said one more sentence after she finished speaking.

These words must not be heard by anyone else. If they reach the emperor's ears, who knows what kind of trouble will befall him.

"I understand. I will consider it myself."

The Queen naturally understood the reason behind this, but it was not possible to have an heir just by saying so.

Besides, the emperor is middle-aged, and so am I. We are no longer of childbearing age. It's a pity for my eldest prince.

Even now, when I think back on it, my heart still aches.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is here and is waiting outside the door."

Huichun came in to deliver the message.

"Concubine Qi, why is she here?"

The queen muttered, "Let her come in."

On second thought, Concubine Qi must have come to congratulate me on the lifting of my house arrest.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. Congratulations, Her Majesty."

Concubine Qi came in with a smile on her face, saying congratulations, but she didn't notice that the queen's face was not looking so good.

It’s not her fault. She has been with the emperor for so many years, and she has always been so outspoken.

"Okay, get up and take a seat."

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi and said, "What's the point of congratulations? As the Queen, it's my duty to research a prescription for the Emperor."

She had deliberately mentioned the prescription, not wanting others to think that she was redeeming herself from her crime. But even if the queen hadn't said anything, the matter had become a hot topic, and now the entire palace was avoiding the queen, fearing that they would offend her and then be infected with the epidemic for no apparent reason.
