After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Jeju...isn't that the place under the jurisdiction of Concubine Shen's father?

Huanbi pondered over it and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

She then asked, "Is Miss An worried that the Emperor will regard Lord An and Jiang Wenqing as being in the same party?"

An Lingrong nodded, then shook her head and said, "I am worried about my father, but I am more worried about my mother. Besides me, the one thing my mother has been most concerned about all her life is my father. Now that my father is in trouble, my mother will definitely cry herself sick. Moreover, without my father, the concubines at home will not let my mother have an easy life."

In the previous life, Huanbi felt very sympathetic towards An Lingrong after learning about her life experience. She thought unconsciously in her heart that An Bihuai's death was not a pity, but if she died, An Lingrong's mother would not have an easy life. Moreover, his crime was not enough to be executed by the emperor. As long as the emperor said a word, An Bihuai would be safe and sound.

She thought for a while, then saw the food boxes and incense boxes prepared on the table, and asked, "Is An agreeing to send breakfast to the emperor?"

An Lingrong nodded. It was indeed like that just now. She thought that she would show her face in front of the emperor more often, and when the time was right, she would ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter of sister Mei. But at this moment, she no longer had the heart to serve the emperor.

Huanbi walked to the table, picked up the food box and said to An Lingrong, "An agreed, I feel that this matter is suspicious. Lord An is involved, and the incident happened in the territory under the jurisdiction of Shen Guiren's father. It is obviously aimed at us. I am afraid that the next time it will be Wan Guiren.

An agreed, I have a plan, if you think it is feasible, go ahead and do it, as for the rest, I will go back and discuss it with my nobleman before making a final decision. "

An Lingrong wiped her tears and asked, "What method?"

Huanbi said: "Save yourself!"

An Lingrong didn't understand.

Huanbi explained: "An promised to prepare everything, why not send it to the emperor first. If the emperor asks about this matter, An promised to just say that everything should be done according to the rules and don't get too involved. As for other things, they should still be done as they should be."

An Lingrong nodded, not quite understanding. There was no better way at this moment. She could only test the Emperor's attitude before making a decision.

After she finished speaking, Huanbi personally touched up An Lingrong's makeup. Before she left, she remembered her purpose for coming today and said with a smile, "Mrs. Wan said that An Lingrong's tranquilizing and refreshing incense is most useful in summer, and she wants me to come and ask for some back. I would like to exchange the pair of Hetian jade hairpins just now. I wonder if An Lingrong is willing to do so?"

An Lingrong was amused by Huanbi's playful look and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, of course I won't. I'll ask Juqing to get you some more."

Huanbi relaxed a little when she saw An Lingrong finally smile.

When An Lingrong arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, the ministers had just left. When the emperor saw her, he didn't say much, but just waved his hand and motioned her to sit down.

An Lingrong took out some calming incense and lit it, then asked someone to serve the winter melon and tangerine peel soup. She then sat opposite the emperor and had breakfast together.

The emperor smelled the fragrance and soon felt his mind calm down. His body seemed to be less hot. His hands and mouth never stopped, and he let Xiao Xiazi serve him bowl of soup one after another.

An Lingrong ate her meal intermittently without saying a word.

The emperor found it strange. An Lingrong usually behaved in a petty and sometimes shy manner. He thought that she would cry and beg him to let her father go as soon as she saw him, but he didn't expect her to be so calm.

After the emperor had eaten and drunk his fill, he threw the handkerchief he used to wipe his mouth aside and asked, "You came here so early, is it because of your father's matter?"

An Lingrong also put down her chopsticks and said, "It is impossible for this concubine to not care about father at all. The purpose of these incense and soup is just to make the emperor feel more comfortable. It has nothing to do with anything else."

The emperor squinted his eyes and nodded lazily, holding out his hand, "Well, these incense will take at least three or two days to mix properly. Rong'er, you are worthy of being the best incense maker in the harem!"

An Lingrong smiled and stretched out her hand to greet the emperor, saying: "The greatest blessing of these things is that your Majesty feels comfortable using them." Her voice was like a trickle of water, with a hint of charm, like a gentle spring that made people intoxicated.

The emperor had eaten and drunk his fill, and had just dealt with state affairs. He was in high spirits at the moment, so he hugged Lingrong into his arms and asked her to sing for him. Lingrong leaned back and agreed.

An Lingrong stayed in Chuigong Hall for an hour before coming out. The emperor was very satisfied with her service, but he said nothing about An Bihuai.

As soon as she got out of the door, her face changed immediately. She was worried about her father's affairs. She thought that if she served the emperor well, the emperor would remember her feelings for her. However, she didn't expect that the emperor was so hard-hearted.

She looked down at her clothes that were wrinkled by the emperor's hug just now, and with the corners of her mouth turned down, she slapped her hands a few times in anger.

As they walked to the lake, An Lingrong thought about what had happened in the past few days. Originally, she thought that the emperor was a man of affection and righteousness, but after what happened to her sister Mei twice, and the emperor's attitude towards her today, she realized that the emperor was not reliable.

When the emperor is happy, he will pamper them more and may even help them when they encounter problems. If the emperor is unhappy, they can only live on themselves.

Huanbi was right. Whether it was about her father's matter this time or every time in the future, she could no longer rely on the emperor. She could only find ways to save herself.

After thinking all this through, she came to Bitong Academy. Huanbi said that she wanted to discuss her father's affairs with Sister Wan, but she didn't know how the discussion was going.

Zhen Huan sat on the chair, eating the watermelon on the plate from time to time.

Liu Zhu rushed in, sweating profusely from the heat. She didn't care about anything else and told the young lady directly: "Young lady, I have heard that An's father is responsible for escorting the military rations to the northwest. I heard that he was specifically asked to go there."

Northwest? Aren’t those the food and fodder for Nian Gengyao’s military camp?

Nian Gengyao, Hua Fei, Jeju, An Bihuai...

Zhen Huan suddenly realized, and looked at Huanbi with wide eyes, "Huanbi, what you just told me seems to be true."

Huanbi blinked and replied, "I just guessed that this matter was related to Concubine Hua. I didn't expect that she would even involve her brother in order to deal with us."

Zhen Huan nodded, "Military rations have always been transported by someone assigned by the court, or by local officials who take the initiative to escort them. I have never heard of a general who specifically asked someone to escort them. If someone says that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Hua, I absolutely cannot believe it."

"Sister, Lingrong can't believe it either."

An Lingrong walked in with a trembling but firm voice.

Zhen Huan looked a little nervous. She looked at Liu Zhu and Huan Bi, and finally her eyes fell on Ling Rong and asked, "Did you hear everything I said just now?"

An Lingrong nodded. "Even if sister wanted to hide it from me and didn't want me to be sad and scared, I would know it in the end. Sister, please consider me. Lingrong is very grateful."

Zhen Huan held her hand and comforted her, "Although Concubine Hua was involved in this matter, I believe that the emperor is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. He will definitely investigate the matter and give Uncle An justice."
