An Lingrong after rebirth

Min, Zhao, Yang, Yu, Han, Yun, …

"Each word has a good meaning, but An Lingrong is not ready to pick one. She smiles slightly and turns to look at the emperor. The emperor is deliberately making things difficult for me!"

"I don't even know any of them, how can I decide on the child's name? The emperor has already decided! But you are too lazy to even think of a name for the child."

"Our Xiaoliu went out just after daybreak. Most of the words I thought of were about the rising sun. They all seemed good. But because they were all good, I couldn't decide for the moment."

"An Lingrong took the child from the Emperor. He has been holding the child for a long time today. It would be bad if it got out! Anyway, Your Majesty will have to trouble yourself with this matter. I don't want to bother with this."

After saying that, An Lingrong walked to the couch and sat down, looking at the emperor with a smile!

"But before the emperor could open his mouth, the palace door opened again. "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is here." The emperor was stunned when he heard it. It's so hot, Concubine Wan won't get too hot. Please come in quickly."

"Yes"!

"Su Peisheng turned and left. An Lingrong listened to the emperor's words, but she felt a little weird in her heart! Why is Wanpin so special that she can't be kept warm?"

Could it be...

"Before I could wrap my mind around this thought, Zhen Huan had already come in with Cui Jinxi. When she looked up and saw An Lingrong, her eyes suddenly darkened."

Obviously, she knew that An Lingrong was preparing a palace for Huanbi and the others, so she couldn't give her a good face!

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! Why am I here so suddenly? Is there anything I can do for you? Zhen Huan stood up, and Sister Shupin is here too!"

"You are too polite, Wanpin. I am holding the child and it is difficult for me to get up. Let's not worry about these empty formalities." An Lingrong smiled and responded, not caring at all that the other party's words hinted at asking her to leave.

"Zhen Huan saw that An Lingrong pretended not to understand, so she didn't intend to beat around the bush. She signaled Cui Jinxi to leave and walked to the emperor herself!"

Your Majesty, I came here to ask about Huanbi and Chun Changzai's residence. Oh? What happened to their residence?

Wasn’t it the Queen’s arrangement?

"Your Majesty, An Lingrong spoke up as soon as the Emperor finished speaking. The Empress has left it to me to arrange the accommodations for the two sisters!"

After hearing this, the emperor asked in confusion: "If Rong'er arranges it, what's the problem?"

"Your Majesty, Sister Shupin has arranged the palaces of Huanbi and Chun Changzai in the east and west side halls of Bitong Academy!" She responded: "The courtyard is bigger, and I think everyone wants to be more relaxed."

Why not ask Concubine Shu to rearrange the palace for them?

"From what I hear, Wanpin wants to help her two sisters manage the palace today? Why didn't she come to me, but came to the emperor instead?"

An Lingrong asked Zhen Huan with a smile. Her question stunned Zhen Huan, but she reacted after a moment.

"I turned my eyes to An Lingrong. Sister Shupin is here. I don't need to go to Rugu Hanjin to look for her. I'd better trouble her to choose a new palace for the two of us now."

"An Lingrong did not respond to Zhen Huan's words. She turned to look at the emperor. These two people are saying that He Ying and Chun Changzai came to the garden together. It was Wanpin who personally asked the emperor for it?"

"I haven't reported it to the Queen Mother. Could it be true? It was indeed Wanpin who mentioned this to me. Rong'er, do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do. I just thought that Wanpin was close to them, so I thought of arranging them in Bitong Academy. Could it be that I was wrong?"

An Lingrong responded, then spoke hesitantly, "Speaking of the concubines going back and forth between the palace and the courtyard, the emperor naturally knew about it, but the empress did not know about it in advance."

Yesterday when Her Majesty asked me to arrange the palace affairs, I saw that she didn't look very happy!

"An Lingrong's words made the two of them look slightly different. The emperor hesitated, but Zhen Huan suddenly had a bad feeling."

"This matter was indeed her own decision, without the Queen's approval. It would have been fine if this had not been pointed out by others, but now that it has been said in front of the Emperor, it is not pleasant to say."

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan immediately followed up, "Your Majesty, it was indeed my fault for not thinking carefully. I was so focused on having my two sisters come to the garden that I forgot to tell the Empress. I will personally go up and down the skylight to apologize to the Empress."

"The emperor reached out and pulled the man up, saying, 'Okay, why are you kneeling? Hurry up and get up. You can't kneel in your current state.'"

"After the emperor said this, An Lingrong became more certain of her guess. She is so lucky. It has only been a short time since she was favored by the emperor, and she is pregnant again."

"With these thoughts in my mind, I think Zhen Huan must have asked the emperor to ask her not to spread the news for the time being! Then I don't need to know."

But I can't guarantee whether Zhen Huan's wish to conceal this matter will come true.

"Thinking of this, An Lingrong gently patted the Sixth Prince's butt, and the child immediately spoke again out of respect."

"She nestled in An Lingrong's arms, but she stretched out her hands to the emperor, 'Father, Father!' The two people's hurried shouts immediately caused the emperor to turn his head."

"Seeing Sixth Prince like this, she subconsciously let go of Zhen Huan's hand and walked closer. She hugged Sixth Prince once, so naturally she didn't care about the second time."

"The emperor picked up the child and thought about what was wrong with this kid today. Why was he so clinging to me? An Lingrong pretended to pat the Sixth Prince's butt again."

"Who knows? This brat didn't even give me the slightest bit of respect. He even sat in my arms, but he kept thinking about being hugged by the emperor."

"Having said that, she turned her head and glanced at Zhen Huan. Seeing that she was about to speak again, An Lingrong spoke without hesitation."

Your Majesty, when I arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, it was already late. The Ministry of Internal Affairs must have almost finished tidying up the side halls of the Bitong Academy by now.

"I think it would be better to let Concubine Chun stay at Bitong Academy for one night. I will go back and look for a good place for my two sisters to stay in two days."

"In this way, Wanpin can also talk to the two sisters to relieve the boredom of summer. What do you think, Your Majesty? The emperor frowned slightly after hearing this, but the Sixth Prince suddenly reached out and grabbed a small bead on the dragon robe."

"The other party's thoughts were interrupted again. After a moment, the emperor nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Time is short and it's not good to wrong them. Let's do as you say and let them stay in Bitong Academy for one night!"

Wanpin, what do you think?

"Having said that, Zhen Huan naturally cannot force Huanbi and the others not to stay at Bitong Academy tonight. The corner of her mouth raised a slight forced smile and nodded. Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

"After saying this, seeing that An Lingrong still had no intention of leaving, Zhen Huan felt that she could not stay here any longer! She turned towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to do at Bitong Academy, so I will take my leave now."

"The emperor subconsciously wanted to ask for permission to stay, but the Sixth Prince in his arms spoke again, which made him completely give up the idea. He patted the Sixth Prince on the shoulder and then raised his voice, Su Peisheng."

"After he finished speaking, Su Peisheng came in immediately and said, 'Your Majesty, send someone to send Concubine Wan back to the palace.'"

"Yes!" The two of them left after a while. An Lingrong wiped the corners of Sixth Prince's mouth with a handkerchief. She spoke again: "Your Majesty, was the arrangement of the palace and concubines that He promised to them wrong?"

"The emperor waved his hand. It was indeed Wanpin who asked to bring the two of them here. It is normal to have such thoughts. It is not wrong at all. Don't think too much about it, Rong'er."

An Lingrong looked at the emperor with her deer-like eyes and nodded, with a special meaning in her voice! Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!

Tonight, the emperor naturally stayed at Rugu Hanjin's house, and nothing happened all night! The next morning, before dawn, a panicked voice rang out from Rugu Hanjin.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty...

"An Lingrong was a light sleeper, so she was awakened by these two noises. She opened the curtains and got out of bed quietly. When she walked to the door, she saw Qiufang and Su Peisheng rushing in."

"My Lady, something happened at Bitong Academy. An Lingrong's face tightened. What happened?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Chun has passed away, and Concubine Wan is frightened. I have asked the imperial physician to come. The maid of Bitong Academy asks Your Majesty to go over."

An Lingrong was stunned for a moment and exclaimed in surprise, "Dead?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please wake up the Emperor immediately. Wanpin's pregnancy is unstable and we can't delay any longer. Before Qiufang could speak, Su Peisheng at the side spoke first."

"An Lingrong didn't care about the other party's attitude and nodded. You wait here for a moment. I will go and call the emperor. After she finished speaking, An Lingrong hurriedly turned and entered the palace, but she had already stood up to answer the emperor's question."

"An Lingrong paused, gathered her thoughts and walked forward. Your Majesty, the emperor chuckled, you got up early. It's so noisy outside, what are you doing?"

An Lingrong walked to the emperor and sat down. Your Majesty, something happened at Bitong Academy...

When the emperor heard that something happened at Bitong Academy, he sat up straight immediately. What happened? "The maid from Bitong Academy reported that Concubine Chun died and Concubine Wan had a miscarriage. Your Majesty, please go and take a look."

An Lingrong's words were so shocking that the emperor was stunned for a moment. "She just came to the garden yesterday? How could she die out of nowhere?"

"Your Majesty, this matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet, and the maid can't explain the cause of Concubine Chun's death. However, Your Majesty will go to Bitong Academy one day, and you will know the answer by asking!"

"I have asked someone to prepare the toiletries. Your Majesty, please hurry up. I will accompany Your Majesty to Bitong Academy, okay?"

"The emperor nodded after hearing this. Rong'er was thoughtful. He will do as you said. With such a big event, the two of them acted very quickly. There was no time to look around. In about a cup of tea, the two sedan chairs landed outside the gate of Bitong Academy."

"Helping Lian'er out of the sedan chair, An Lingrong said, 'Your Majesty, Wanpin is having a miscarriage. Why don't you go to the main hall to check it out first? I will go to Chunchang to see her.'"

"Okay," the emperor responded, and left quickly. An Lingrong led the group and walked slowly towards the east side hall.

"As soon as she reached the door, she heard crying. An Lingrong stepped over the threshold and entered the palace. In a moment, she arrived at the bedroom. She looked up and saw a dangling rope hanging from the beam not far from the bed."

"It's still dark now. Under the dim candlelight, coupled with the maid's hesitant cries on the bed, the atmosphere is a bit scary."

"Lian'er paused. An Lingrong turned around and took a look. She knew that the other person must be a little scared! She pulled back and patted the other person gently. Lian'er, don't be afraid. You wait outside. I'll go in and take a look."

"No," Lian'er hurriedly supported An Lingrong and said, "I will accompany your Majesty in." An Lingrong smiled helplessly, but she also knew that Lian'er would not let her go in alone.

"Without saying anything more, the master and servant, along with Qiu Fang behind them, entered the bedroom together. When they reached the bed, An Lingrong glanced at Chun Changzai lying on the bed, her gaze not changing at all."

"There was a little black blood at the corner of Chun Chang's mouth. It was obvious that he died of poisoning. The swaying rope in the air made it look rather abrupt."

After a while, An Lingrong motioned Lian'er to go out and take her away from the bedroom, then said, "Qiufang, go and call Chun Changzai's maid!"

"Yes!" Qiufang responded, turned around and went in. A moment later, she brought out a crying palace maid and knelt in front of An Lingrong.

"Lian'er is not around at this time. An Lingrong stared at the person in front of her and asked, "I remember you are the maid that Concubine Chun brought from outside the palace. Your name is Yu'er?"

"Yu'er sniffled and nodded in reply. In reply to Madam Shupin's question, this servant is Yu'er! Well! Tell me, what happened to your young master? Why did she die suddenly?"

"Madam Shupin, I don't know what happened. The young lady was fine when she went to bed last night. This morning, I wanted to ask the young lady to get up and pay her respects to Madam Wanpin."

But as soon as I entered the door, I saw the young lady... the young lady... she...

"At this point, Yu'er seemed to be overwhelmed with sorrow. The tears that had originally stopped flowing could no longer stop, and continued to flow along with her crying."

"An Lingrong could hear her impatience and was about to speak when Jiang Fuhai's voice suddenly rang out from outside! The Queen has arrived!"

"An Lingrong didn't want to get involved in these things. After hearing this, she immediately stood up to greet him, leaving Yu'er kneeling and crying! But before An Lingrong left, Yixiu hurried in."

"When she saw An Lingrong, her brows immediately furrowed, Concubine Shu?"

I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. That’s enough. Get up.

"Obviously, we got the news that the emperor stayed at Rugu Hanjin last night. It's not unusual for An Lingrong to be here."

"Thank you, Madam!" Yixiu waved her hand. When she entered the room, she saw Yu'er kneeling on the ground and asked again, "Shupin came early. Tell me, what happened here?"

"An Lingrong followed Yixiu into the room again, and after hearing this, she said, "Your Majesty, I have only been here for a short time. Today, before the Emperor got up, the maid from Bitong Academy went to my place."

"It is said that Concubine Chun has passed away and Concubine Wan has a miscarriage. The Emperor has already gone to the main hall. I have just arrived here and have only been here for a short while. I haven't asked her anything yet, and yet Her Majesty is here!"

"Fortunately, the Majesty is here. This happened so suddenly that I was so confused that I really don't know what to do! Fortunately, the Majesty is here. I'd better trouble the Majesty to personally interrogate this matter."

An Lingrong bent her knees and answered respectfully!

"She's pregnant!" Yixiu asked in surprise; when did Wanpin get pregnant? Even though Yixiu usually cultivated her mind, she was shocked by An Lingrong's words at this moment.

Before An Lingrong could answer, he asked again in surprise: Chun Changzai is dead?

"I just came to the garden yesterday. How could she die today? Is this person Chun Changzai's maid? Yes, madam, this is Yu'er."

"Yi Xiu turned her eyes away, and Jian Qiu beside her immediately stepped forward and said: Yu'er, the Queen cannot lose her manners, why don't you stop crying?"

"Jianqiu's voice seemed gentle, but for some reason, it gave Yu'er a creepy feeling."

"The sound of crying seems to be strangled by the neck! It is stuck. No sound can be made! With a horrified face, she said: "I...I know I am wrong."

"Don't worry, the Queen will make the decision for Concubine Chun. Tell me, what happened to your young mistress?" Yu'er wiped away her tears and repeated what she had just said to An Lingrong.

"But at the end, she added another sentence! When Concubine Chun's body was found, it was hanging from the beam. It was Yu'er's scream that alarmed Concubine Wan. After she came to check, she asked Xiao Yunzi and others to let the body down."

"It was precisely because of this that Wanpin was frightened and had a miscarriage!"

"Were you the one keeping watch last night?"

Yixiu frowned and asked again.

"Chun Changzai is hers. An Lingrong arranged for Chun Changzai to live in Bitong Academy. Yixiu originally wanted An Lingrong and Zhen Huan to fight for supremacy, and she would benefit from what she said."

"I didn't expect that this chess piece would lose his life in just one night! How could she not be suspicious when he was so outstanding?"

"To answer the Queen, Shuang'er kept watch last night. Shuang'er, who is she and where is she now?"

Shuang'er was also a maid brought into the palace by the young lady, and she...died...on her own.

"Then was there any unusual movement in the East Palace last night? After hearing this, Yu'er's face turned pale. Queen, please forgive me, I didn't hear anything!"

"Yi Xiu's face was gloomy. She was silent for a while, then she spoke again, "Shupin, how is Wanpin?"

"Your Majesty, I have been staying in the East Side Hall since I arrived at Bitong Academy. I have not been to Wanpin's place yet. However, the Emperor is there and there is not much noise outside, so there must be no problem!"

"I'm going to take a look, you come with me," Yixiu said as she stood up and helped Jianqiu out. An Lingrong had no choice but to follow her!

"Yi Xiu's steps were very fast, and she arrived at the main hall in a moment! Zhen Huan had a miscarriage, and the atmosphere in the main hall was not much better."
