After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Yanxi Palace

The emperor was sleeping soundly while holding An Lingrong. After the intense battle, the emperor felt a little tired and slept even more soundly.

Suddenly Su Peisheng shouted outside the door: "Your Majesty, Empress Hua's eunuch Zhou Ninghai has urgent news to report."

The emperor was sleeping soundly and did not hear Su Peisheng's report at all.

An Lingrong heard it very carefully, and she thought that Concubine Hua must be up to something again.

She must dissuade the emperor and keep him, but sooner or later the emperor will be awakened by Su Peisheng.

So An Lingrong gently pushed the emperor and said softly, "Your Majesty, I heard someone outside passing on a message."

The emperor responded drowsily but showed no intention of waking up.

Seeing this, An Lingrong increased the strength of her hands and called out again, "Your Majesty, Zhou Ninghai wants to see you. Maybe he really has something urgent to tell you."

The emperor then reluctantly opened his eyes, sat up, and asked impatiently, "Why are you so flustered?"

At this moment, Su Peisheng hurried into the room, bowed to the emperor and replied:

"Your Majesty, Zhou Ninghai just came to report that Concubine Hua had suffered a great shock and is now crying bitterly in the Yikun Palace. He also sent someone to ask Your Majesty to go and visit her."

An Lingrong immediately understood what was going on, so she quickly said, "Your Majesty, you have to deal with so many state affairs every day, you must be exhausted now. Concubine Hua may have just had a nightmare, and she will be fine after a while. Otherwise, let me accompany you to rest for a while. It's almost dawn, and Your Majesty has to attend the morning court." As she spoke, she gently reached out and stroked the emperor's chest.

The emperor was still a little undecided, but at this moment he was aroused by An Lingrong's actions and couldn't help but hug her in his arms, saying with a smile:

"My beloved concubine, what you said makes sense. I am indeed a little tired, so I won't go to see her."

Then, the emperor turned to Su Peisheng and ordered: "Go tell Concubine Hua that I am a little tired today and will visit her another day."

Su Peisheng withdrew as ordered, and An Lingrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Peisheng turned and walked out of the room, and said to Zhou Ninghai who was kneeling outside the door: "The emperor said that he was a little tired today, and he will visit your queen another day. You should go back first."

When Zhou Ninghai heard this, he felt disappointed.

He knew that he would be severely punished by Concubine Hua after returning to the palace this time, after all, he couldn't even handle such a small matter. Moreover, seeing that Concubine Hua was indeed frightened, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ninghai kowtowed three times to Su Peisheng without hesitation, and said in a trembling voice:

"Eunuch Su, please help my queen! You must persuade the emperor to visit my queen in Yikun Palace! Without the emperor's company, my queen may not be able to sleep tonight. The queen is so frightened that she may even become unconscious. Do you know? My queen told me in person that she saw a woman in red floating in front of her bed! This... this may be a ghost at work!"

Zhou Ninghai became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder. He tightly grasped the corner of Su Peisheng's clothes, his eyes full of pleading and fear. It seemed that as long as Su Peisheng nodded and agreed to help, he could temporarily put down the burden in his heart.

Su Peisheng heard that the matter of "ghosts haunting" was no trivial matter, and the emperor even specially invited a monk from the Po Lin Monastery to exorcise the evil spirits, which shows that the emperor was also afraid of this matter.

Now that Empress Hua has suddenly encountered this incident, if the rumors are true, and if the Emperor does not go to visit and comfort her, I am afraid that when General Nian investigates, the Emperor will have a hard time explaining himself.

Thinking of this, Su Peisheng said to Zhou Ninghai helplessly: "Forget it, then I will report to the emperor for you."

Su Peisheng stood cautiously outside the palace door and called softly, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you."

At this moment, the emperor was immersed in An Lingrong's sweet and soft attack, and the fire of desire in his heart gradually burned.

However, just as the emperor was about to enjoy this moment, he suddenly heard Su Peisheng's voice. He couldn't help but feel unhappy and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "What's the matter? Come in and talk."

Su Peisheng walked into the bedroom trembling with fear, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Zhou Ninghai just came to report that Concubine Hua was not frightened by an ordinary fright, but by a ghost. The situation seems to be quite serious."

"I think... Your Majesty should go and visit. After all, Concubine Hua has served Your Majesty for many years, and she has always been very affectionate to you."

As he spoke, he secretly observed the emperor's expression, fearing that he might say something wrong and anger the emperor.

The emperor frowned, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Oh? Have you found out what's going on with the ghost?"

Su Peisheng quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the specific reason has not yet been found out, but Concubine Hua was indeed quite frightened and became a little dazed."

The emperor nodded slightly to show that he understood, then thought for a moment and continued:

"Well, in that case, I'd better go see her. Pass the word down, and quickly send Doctor Jiang to the palace to see Concubine Hua." After saying that, he stood up, tidied his clothes, and prepared to go to Concubine Hua's bedroom.

An Lingrong was filled with resentment and disgust towards Concubine Hua at this moment. She knew very well that this rare opportunity to sleep with Concubine Hua was of great significance to her, but it was ruthlessly destroyed by Concubine Hua.

In the dead of night, Concubine Hua deliberately prevented people from having peace and even sent people to take the emperor away. Her sinister intentions were obvious.

However, faced with such a situation, An Lingrong had no choice but to obey.

An Lingrong quickly stood up and changed the emperor's clothes gently and quickly.

At the same time, she whispered softly: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Please let me change your clothes for you. I hope Your Majesty will not forget me and spend more time with me."

While changing the emperor's clothes, An Lingrong skillfully used her small hands to gently touch the emperor's body parts intentionally or unintentionally, trying to leave a deep impression on him in this way.

An Lingrong knew very well that it was not easy to win the emperor's favor in the palace, and she had to seize every opportunity to show her charm.

"Rong'er is so gentle. I feel at ease staying with you. Don't worry. I'm going to go see how Concubine Hua is doing. I'll be back soon. You lie down and rest and wait for me to come back."

After that, the emperor said to Su Peisheng: "Su Peisheng, please go to Yikun Palace."

Gyeongin Palace

The queen couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. She knew that the emperor went to Suiyuxuan tonight, and she was very unhappy. She tossed and turned in bed, and kept recalling what happened during the day.

The queen recalled that during dinner tonight, the emperor said he wanted to drink more duck soup, but she dissuaded him. Although the emperor did not say anything at the time, his face showed obvious displeasure.

Thinking about it now, the Queen regretted it very much. If she had let the Emperor drink the bowl of duck soup, perhaps he would not be unhappy and would not insist on going to Suiyuxuan to accompany Zhen Huan. If the Emperor did not go to Suiyuxuan, he would have listened to her advice and summoned An Lingrong to sleep with him.

Thinking of this, the Queen felt even more depressed. She knew that the Emperor's growing love for Zhen Huan would threaten her position.

The more the queen thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Suddenly, she felt extremely thirsty. She sat up and called out softly, "Jianqiu, Jianqiu..."

Jianqiu, who was sleeping in a side hall, woke up immediately when she heard the Queen's call.

She hurriedly put on her coat, trotted to the queen's bed, and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am here. What do you want?"

"I'm a little thirsty. Please go and get me a glass of water." There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in the queen's tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jianqiu responded quickly, then turned and walked towards the tea table. She gently picked up the teapot, poured a cup of warm water, carefully brought it to the queen, and said, "Your Majesty, please drink some water."

The queen took the cup and took a sip slowly. The warm water flowed through her throat, slightly relieving her thirst. However, her inner anxiety still could not be calmed. She looked out the window at the dark night and asked Jianqiu:

"What did the emperor do in Suiyuxuan tonight?"

"Reporting to Her Majesty, the Emperor first went to Suiyuxuan, and then for some reason he went to An Yingying in Yanxi Palace." Jianqiu reported respectfully with her head down, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

After hearing this, the Queen felt a little relieved, but still a little dissatisfied: "Why did you come to report it now? You should have told me earlier."

Jianqiu knelt down and apologized, "I deserve to die, please forgive me, Your Majesty! But the Emperor suddenly changed his schedule and went to the Yanxi Palace. It was late, and Your Majesty had already gone to bed. I was afraid of disturbing Your Majesty's sweet dreams. Your Majesty herself has trouble sleeping, so I didn't have time to report it."

The Queen waved her hand, signaling her to stand up: "Forget it, get up. From now on, any movement of the Emperor in the harem must be reported to me immediately, without any delay. Do you understand?"

Jianqiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The Queen nodded slightly and said, "Tomorrow you will go to An Ying's house in the Yanxi Palace and give me a reward."
