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

An Lingrong clenched her fists tightly, her eyes revealing a heavy bitterness, "Your Majesty... Lingrong dare not count on it." After saying this, a weak sigh came out of her throat.

She originally wanted to tell Sister Wan about what happened in Qinzheng Palace, but she could see that Sister Wan was in great favor and her love for the emperor was growing day by day. Her words were like cold water, so she decided not to pour it on her.

Zhen Huan pursed her lips, looking a little anxious. Now that Mei Zhuang was under house arrest and Ling Rong was in trouble, she was very worried about them.

Huanbi looked at the two young ladies with troubled expressions and thought hard. Suddenly, she thought of it.

She looked at the two people angrily and gently tried: "My lady, An promised, I have a guess."

Zhen Huan saw that Huanbi was becoming more and more intelligent. She had seen through other people's schemes many times in advance. She respected her more and more. She asked, "What's your guess?"

Huanbi analyzed, "How could the soldiers transporting military rations encounter stray soldiers in Jeju after traveling all this way? I don't understand this, I only know that Lord Shen, as the assistant commander of Jeju, has always been serious and cautious in his work. Since this batch of military rations is so important, Lord Shen must have sent elite soldiers to guard the places passing through Jeju. Those stray soldiers are far inferior to the Jeju soldiers in combat capabilities, so how could they snatch the food from the soldiers escorting the military rations?"

Zhen Huan nodded as she listened, and An Lingrong also felt that what Huanbi said made sense.

"You mean, someone wants to kill two birds with one stone?" When Zhen Huan made this inference, she felt a little scared.

An Lingrong gritted her teeth and slammed the table angrily, "It must be like this! It must be like this! Concubine Hua wants the Emperor to sentence my father to death, and at the same time, demote Lord Shen for failing to guard him properly and catch the stray soldiers in time, so that Sister Mei will never be able to turn things around again."

Everyone was furious when they heard this. Liu Zhu was outspoken and angrily scolded, "This Concubine Hua is too vicious. Concubine Shen and An Ying have always respected her. Why did she want to kill us so many times?"

Huanbi snorted coldly, "This is the family tradition of the Nian family. Anyone who does not submit to them and curry favor with them will be killed by them."

Zhen Huan's eyes were filled with sarcasm and slight anger, and she said, "Even so, I will give it a try. I can't just watch the Nian brothers and sisters frame others like this."

An Lingrong didn't know what Zhen Huan was going to do, and she was very scared. Now Sister Mei and herself were both in trouble, and if something happened to Sister Wan as well, their lives would be more and more difficult in the future.

She held Zhen Huan's arm and said, "Sister Wan, I know you love Lingrong sincerely, but Lingrong cannot let you get hurt for her own sake. You and the emperor have a friendship..."

Zhen Huan smiled and interrupted her, "Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say. But if I don't give it a try now, your father and Lord Shen will be in danger."

An Lingrong was deeply moved when she saw how Zhen Huan, who was not her relative in any way, treated her so sincerely. At this moment, wealth, future and honor were no longer important to her. It was her greatest blessing to have someone who was closer to her than a sister.

She secretly made up her mind that no matter whether this matter would succeed or not, no matter whether her father could be saved or not, she would always regard Sister Wan as the most important person in her life.

An Lingrong gently wiped away her tears and bowed deeply to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan and Huan Bi were so scared that they held her together. Zhen Huan frowned and said, "Sister An, what are you doing? I'm not helping you for this."

An Lingrong's eyes became moist again, her long eyelashes blinking in front of her eyes filled with water vapor. She said tearfully, "Sister Wan, in this world, except for my mother, no one has ever risked their lives for Lingrong. Sister, you are so kind, Lingrong has no way to repay you."

Zhen Huan glanced at Huanbi and motioned her to get a clean handkerchief for An Lingrong. Huanbi walked to the windowsill and took a pink handkerchief. While wiping An Lingrong's tears, she said, "An Lingrong is already weak. If she cries and hurts herself, we will have to find a doctor to see her. Wouldn't that make your sister Wan even more worried?"

"Yes Lingrong, stop crying."

Zhen Huan comforted him and turned to look at Ju Qing, "Ju Qing, take good care of your young lady and bring her back. I will go find the Emperor right away."

Outside the Qinzheng Hall, Huanbi saw Prince Guo waiting outside from afar.

Zhen Huan nodded slightly and saluted Prince Guo. Prince Guo politely bowed in return and then his eyes fell on Huanbi who was beside Zhen Huan.

Su Peisheng saw the noble lady Wan coming, and hurried over with an umbrella, explaining attentively: "Please wait outside for a while, the emperor is discussing matters with Lord Longkodo and Lord Zhang Tingyu inside, and Prince Guo has been waiting for a long time."

Zhen Huan raised her lips slightly and said softly, "Since the emperor is busy, I will wait outside."

Prince Guo asked with a faint smile on his face, "May I ask, Lady Wan, are you here for the matter of An's father?"

Zhen Huan was puzzled and asked him with a smile, "How does the prince know about the trivial matters of the inner palace?"

"If it was a trivial matter in the inner palace, why did the Empress and Concubine Hua come to see the Emperor one after another? Now Concubine Wan is here too, which means this matter is not a trivial matter."

Zhen Huan's mind sank. The Empress and Concubine Hua had both been here? Never mind. She would first feel out the Emperor's attitude before making a decision.

She looked at Prince Guo. She had heard that he was romantic and unrestrained, and thought he was a man who only cared about love and romance. She didn't expect him to be so smart. Zhen Huan smiled and praised him, "Your Highness is very smart, which makes my acting skills seem a bit poor."

Prince Guo smiled and waved his hands, "No, no, Lady Wan is being modest."

As soon as the two finished talking, Longkodo and Zhang Tingyu came out. Su Peisheng hurried in to pass on the message, and the emperor summoned Zhen Huan in and asked Prince Guo to go back first.

Originally, the emperor asked Prince Guo to come to the Qinzheng Hall to appreciate Wu Daozi's authentic works, and he was looking forward to it very much. But at this moment, there was something he wanted to see even more, so he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Lady Wan, it is better for you to speak alone about this matter. If there are others, I am afraid that the emperor will not be happy."

Zhen Huan immediately understood who Prince Guo was talking about. She said to Huanbi, "You should go back first. I don't know when I will come out."

Huanbi glanced at Prince Guo out of the corner of her eye, put away her umbrella and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Prince Guo after taking a few steps.

"Miss Huanbi, wait for me!"

Huanbi knew clearly that although Prince Guo had not spoken to her just now, his eyes were always looking at her. She just didn't know what he wanted to call her for.

Huanbi stopped walking, and Prince Guo quickly caught up with her, and the two of them walked forward together.

As they walked, Prince Guo realized that Huanbi had slowed down her pace, always half a step slower than him, so he stopped to wait for her. Huanbi did the same thing again. After several times, he finally couldn't help asking:

"Why does Miss Huanbi always walk behind me?"

Huanbi lowered her head and said, "I should have walked behind the prince, this is in accordance with etiquette."

Prince Guo suddenly shouted for some reason, "What etiquette? I want to walk side by side with you."

Huanbi was suddenly distracted and stared at Prince Guo with her mouth open.

"My Lord...what happened?"

Prince Guo realized that he was too excited and impolite. His face flushed. He wanted to reach out to pull Huanbi, but felt it was inappropriate, so he said, "Miss Huanbi, it's not convenient to talk here. Can you please let me talk for a moment?"
