An Lingrong after rebirth

"Yes, I have cherished my true love for many years. I finally met someone who is very similar to her. I didn't expect that she would be such a cruel person in private."

How could this so-called "romantic" person accept it so quickly?

But it’s okay. If you can’t figure it out yourself, I’ll help you. Yixiu thought about it in his mind but didn’t speak in a hurry.

"Looking at Xiao Yunzi who was kneeling on the ground, he spoke again: Xiao Yunzi, you are very well behaved. You didn't answer the emperor's questions. It seems that you are not used to being well behaved in your daily life."

"Since Jiang Fuhai can't speak, then drag him down and beat him until he speaks. I want to see who gave him such a good ability."

"After hearing this, Xiao Yunzi remained silent, as if he wanted to take all the blame for Chun Changzai's death. Unfortunately, Yixiu had been scheming for many days, so there was no way he would get what he wanted."

"Hearing the shouts coming from the courtyard, Yixiu asked everyone to leave. Only when only the couple were left in the hall did Yixiu speak."

"Your Majesty, every word Qingxi said was sincere, and Xiao Yunzi didn't even want to argue. I'm afraid that this is how Concubine Chun died. I dare to ask Your Majesty if you still have any doubts."

The emperor looked gloomy and shook his head, no!

A trace of satisfaction flashed across Yixiu's lips, "Your Majesty, I feel that this was definitely not done by Xiao Yunzi alone. After all, it concerns the lives of several people..."

"I had intended to thoroughly investigate the people at Bitong Academy, but because Wanpin is pregnant, I have not started yet. Does Your Majesty want to continue the investigation?"

"Yixiu wanted the emperor to talk about the maidservants around Zhen Huan, but when she saw that the emperor looked upset, she changed the subject."

The emperor waved his hand, as Qingxi said; "The ones who did it were Xiao Yunzi and Shuang'er who was beside Chunchang. Now that the culprit has been executed, for the sake of the prince's heir, don't touch the people around Wanpin for now."

"Now that the truth has been uncovered, it's all our servants' words. Your Majesty, please ask Wanpin if this is really the case."

The emperor exhaled softly, "Xiao Yunzi is just a servant and doesn't have the courage to do such a thing. I guess the root of this matter is still the broken jade incense incident. Wanpin hates Shangchun Changzai because of this."

"It's not surprising to have such an approach. The dragon fetus is more important, so there's no need to ask any more questions! After hearing this, Yixiu's eyes flashed with a hint of success."

"Yes, what she wants is for the emperor to give up the investigation. Otherwise, with Zhen Huan's eloquence, things will inevitably turn around."

"Now we will not investigate further. The emperor will reply to Qingxi's words. If Zhen Huan can kill Chun Changzai today, she can kill someone else tomorrow."

"If something like this happens again in the palace, Zhen Huan will be the first one to be suspected. If the suspicion continues day by day, even the deepest feelings will vanish into thin air."

"Yi Xiu nodded slightly: Yes, Your Majesty has thought it through, I understand! "After all, it's not a glorious thing, let the people below keep their mouths shut and don't spread it around."

Yes! Yixiu responded and said again: "It's just that Your Majesty, this matter has spread widely. The news that Chun Changzai died of poisoning has spread throughout the garden."

"I can keep others quiet about the secret, but it would be bad if there is no follow-up to this matter!" The emperor paused after hearing this.

"Yes, there were many people at Bitong Academy that day, and I was so focused on Concubine Wan's pregnancy that I didn't have time to think about it, and the news eventually got out!"

"According to the Queen's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

"Yixiu wanted to speak up and issue an order to punish Wanpin, but looking at the emperor's expression, she knew that she could not say this."

"After a moment of silence, she spoke again: The Emperor needs an heir and cannot bear to punish Wanpin. I understand in my heart. It would be better for Chun Changzai to die in Bitong Academy..."

It was announced to the outside world that Concubine Wan, as the master of a palace, was demoted to a noble lady as a punishment for not taking good care of the people in her palace.

"Demote? The emperor frowned, and there was doubt in his voice? Yixiu nodded, Your Majesty, Wanpin is pregnant anyway, and it won't be wronged to be promoted to concubine after giving birth to the child."

"After all, Chun Changzai was also a legitimate concubine. Now that she has suddenly died, the emperor will have to spend a lot of effort to appease Chun Changzai's mother's family."

"If Wanpin doesn't take any punishment, she will inevitably be criticized. This is the point. The emperor doesn't care about the harem, as long as everything is calm on the surface."

"But he will not ignore the past. Not to mention that Zhen Huan only looks like Chun Yuan, even if Chun Yuan herself was here, he would not make any mistakes."

"After thinking for a moment, she finally nodded, "The Queen is thoughtful, so I'll do as you say. It just so happens that Lady Wan is not feeling well now and cannot go out. She should rest in the Bitong Academy while she is in the garden. Don't go out if you have nothing to do."

Is he going to be grounded? Yixiu didn't expect such a surprise!

She nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do a good job of this!" The emperor stood up and said, "It's getting late, Queen, you should go to bed early!"

As he was about to walk out, he had just taken two steps when Yixiu's voice came from behind him again, "Your Majesty, the Emperor turned around after hearing this. What else is there?"

"Yixiu looked at the emperor who turned his head and said, "I dare to say that Chun Changzai was wronged. Please grant me some mercy. This will also allow Chun Changzai to know about this in the afterlife and thank the emperor for his kindness."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Let's bury him according to the rites for a nobleman!" He left without stopping.

Seeing this, Jianqiu helped Yixiu sit down and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the news that Wanpin has been demoted, would you like me to ask Jiang Fuhai to go to Bitong Academy to pass on the order?"

Yi Xiu laughed, "No hurry, the eunuch beside her was taken away, and she, as the master, naturally must know about it, let's spread the news to Bitong Academy first."

Jianqiu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she immediately laughed, "Your Majesty is wise, but the poor result is nothing. It is the failure to find the answer that makes us worried and anxious, and we cannot rest in peace!"

"Although we don't know whether Wanpin is unwell or not, if this gets out now, she will become unwell even if she is not unwell."

"Now that you have figured it out, go quickly. Remember not to let anyone find out that it was us who did it." Jianqiu responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. There are many spies in Bitong Academy. It is normal for the people who live with Xiao Yunzi to come out to look for him when they find that he is not there."

Yixiu sneered and said to himself, "How can this alone be enough?

"Chun Changzai was buried with honors of a noble lady, but Wanpin was demoted from the position of the head of the first palace to a noble lady while she was pregnant. If this gets out, it will not just be mismanagement. Who will believe it?"

"Plus, the Emperor has issued a house arrest order. Just wait and see. Her days of fantasizing are still to come!"

Yes!

.........

"Yixiu's plan was successful, but the emperor was still immersed in the shock of not being able to believe what happened today. In his eyes, Chunyuan was the most perfect and beautiful person."

"But now Zhen Huan, who is most like Chun Yuan, has done something that harms other people's lives. How can the emperor not be both entangled and angry?"

"What makes me angry is that Zhen Huan has a face that looks most like Chun Yuan, but she is actually murderous. What makes me angry is that how could such a beautiful person be so cruel and ruthless."

"The incident in front of him forced the emperor to face it again. The substitute of the most beautiful person in the world was actually half different. This made him feel a little weird."

"The emperor frowned and said nothing, while Su Peisheng beside him looked extremely worried. Since the imperial decree to confine Wanpin was issued, the emperor naturally could not go back."

But I can't just wander around the yard all the time, I have to go somewhere! Su Peisheng thought about it in his mind, thinking about all the concubines in the garden now.

Then he mustered up the courage to approach Jiaozi and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, it is still early now. I wonder which lady you would like to visit?"

A few days ago, Concubine Hua sent someone to invite the Emperor to the Qingliang Palace!

After the words fell, the emperor's expression did not change. Su Peisheng continued, "I heard that the Sixth Prince has become more and more naughty recently. He can't see the emperor and he even gets angry with Concubine Shu during the day. Why don't you take some time to go see the Sixth Prince?"

"When Su Peisheng said this, the emperor's expression changed, but he still didn't speak. Su Peisheng let out a long breath, and his expression finally showed some relief."

"It's OK. Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince are here, but they didn't forget to arrange for a young eunuch to report to Rugu Hanjin. Jiaozi staggered to the door of Rugu Hanjin in about half a cup of tea."

"It's hot now, but there's a cool breeze outside at night. An Lingrong had people light the lanterns in the garden and was waiting for the emperor to arrive with the Sixth Prince."

"Hearing the sound of the emperor arriving outside, An Lingrong picked up the Sixth Prince and held him in her arms. Let's go, let's go and welcome your father!"

"Xiao Liu, your father is in a bad mood today, you must comfort him. I don't know if Sixth Prince understood or not. He rolled his eyes mischievously and didn't answer An Lingrong."

"An Lingrong patted the Sixth Prince gently, and went out with the child in her arms. But before she reached the door, the Emperor strode in. Upon seeing the mother and child, his gloomy face finally revealed a bit of a smile."

There are no such rules now. He took the Sixth Prince from An Lingrong and laughed. Before he could say anything, the Sixth Prince in his arms shouted "Ama... Ama..."

"When the emperor was young, he was loved by Empress Xiaoyiren, but this foster mother passed away early. After returning to Yonghe Palace, he hardly had a day to be close to his real mother."

"When I was young, I lived under the Crown Prince and helped with various affairs every day. I could say that I never got close to the children in my own house."

"Later, the crown prince was deposed, and I experienced the Nine Dragons' Struggle for Succession. I also witnessed the cruelty between brothers. I have lived half a lifetime in a hurry. Now that I think about it carefully, there has indeed never been a moment of closeness like this."

"Plus, he was upset today because of Zhen Huan's incident. When he saw the Sixth Prince being so intimate with him, the Emperor felt an unprecedented emotion rising in his heart, and he held the Sixth Prince's hand tighter."

Xiaoliu can have dinner, he has eaten...he has eaten...Ama!

"The child's innocent look warmed the emperor's heart. He laughed a few times, held the Sixth Prince in one hand, and used the other hand to pull An Lingrong towards the palace!"

After a while, the two sat down facing each other. The Sixth Prince struggled to climb down from the emperor's arms and rested his head on the emperor's thighs.

They pressed close to each other, showing a big smile, then lowered their heads and bit their little fingers.

"The emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter at the Sixth Prince's adorable appearance. An Lingrong looked at the father and son, smiling and not saying a word."

"She turned around and picked up a half-finished embroidery frame from the couch beside her, and lowered her head to embroider. The emperor held the Sixth Prince with one hand to prevent the naughty boy from falling off."

"Turning around to look at An Lingrong, the candlelight was blinding. Why was Rong'er embroidering something? If there's anything she needs, just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send it to her. There's no need to do it yourself."

"An Lingrong didn't even look up. The emperor could see her profile, but he could clearly see the smile on her face. Your Majesty, my clothes were naturally sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"As she spoke, An Lingrong handed the embroidery frame to the emperor. I am not embroidering my own clothes, but a purse for your majesty. Your Majesty, please take a look at this cloud dragon pattern."

"The emperor looked down and nodded. Although it was not embroidered well, he could see its spirit. Rong'er's embroidery skills are good!"

"An Lingrong took back the embroidery frame after hearing this. Your Majesty, please stop praising me. When I have finished embroidering the purse, Your Majesty can carry it with you from time to time, which will be the greatest favor to me."

"Don't worry, Rong'er. I will wear this purse every day after it is embroidered. An Lingrong is very happy. Look at the emperor. I don't have such extravagant demands. There are many sisters in the palace, and many of them have embroidered purses for the two of them."

If the emperor takes me with him every day, then all the sisters' efforts will be in vain.

"After hearing this, the emperor smiled and nodded. Rong'er is virtuous, but I naturally understand how you treat me!"

An Lingrong smiled and said nothing more, but in her heart she felt that she had done the right thing today.

After all, apart from the Queen, among the concubines, only Zhen Huan had ever been praised as virtuous, but now there is one more person, haha…

"It's not that a compliment means that I can be favored by the emperor, but a compliment means that Zhen Huan will no longer be unique in the emperor's heart."

"In one incident, Chun Chang had Qingxi rescued and sent to the Queen, and she fanned the flames behind the scenes. In the end, it was Yixiu who was good at planning and eloquence."

"Only the emperor can say this. Even though An Lingrong knows that Yixiu will be her greatest opponent, she still has to admire Yixiu for her meticulous thinking and comprehensive methods."

"Your Majesty, I dare not accept the word virtuous. This is a compliment to the Empress. The Empress is the Empress, and you are the one who is truly virtuous."

"I just want to be the emperor's favorite concubine. The emperor was stunned after hearing this. It was not because An Lingrong suddenly mentioned the queen, but it reminded him of the other party's reaction when he praised Zhen Huan in the past."

It’s been a long time and I can’t remember the details, but... I was not as humble as Concubine Shu.

Even if what Shupin said was a joke, it did not exceed her status at all, and it sounded safe.

"An Lingrong ignored the emperor's thoughts and his sudden silence. She kept moving her hands, lowered her head, and had a playful look on her face."

Just as water drips through stone, doesn't this impression deteriorate little by little?

"The emperor did not respond to this. He stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaoliu's chubby face. He was making a fuss all the way. I am a little hungry. Is there anything to eat here, Rong'er?"

An Lingrong paused and looked up, "Your Majesty, today Sister Mei sent me some lotus root powder and sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I'll have someone bring me a pot of jasmine tea. Does Your Majesty think it's good?"

"Rong'er will arrange it," the emperor said with a smile. "This kid must be hungry, come up quickly, I will feed him two pieces too."

The lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake is soft and no sugar is used. The Sixth Prince started to use some rice and flour himself, so it is naturally edible.

"When the emperor said this, the Sixth Prince immediately started to chuckle, which made the two men even happier."

While Lian'er was preparing snacks, An Lingrong casually said, "I haven't had time to ask the emperor why he came to me now, but is Wanpin's pregnancy completely stable?"

The emperor's smile paused for a moment, and he shook his head, but he did not mention Zhen Huan. "The queen has no result. The cause of Chun Changzai's death has been found out."

After hearing this, An Lingrong sighed softly. It was a pity that Concubine Chun left. I still remember that she was two or three years younger than me.

"Your Majesty originally thought that An Lingrong would ask him the reason, but he didn't expect that she would only respond with this. Rong'er, aren't you curious about why Concubine Chun died?"

"An Lingrong glanced at the emperor after hearing this. If the cause and effect can be explained, the emperor will naturally tell me. The implication is that if it cannot be explained, it is useless to ask."

"The emperor was silent! He knew that there was really no need to say more to his superiors, but today he didn't know what was wrong. Perhaps it was because he saw a warmth he had never seen before in Ru Gu Han's current body, so he wanted to pull An Lingrong aside and talk to her for a few more words."

"Wanpin failed to take good care of the people in her palace and was unfit to be the head of a palace. The Queen decided to demote her to a noble lady, and Chunchangzai was buried with the honorifics of a noble lady."

The emperor said this again, causing An Lingrong to turn her head again. The queen was really disgusting!

If such an order is issued, even if Concubine Chun's death has nothing to do with Zhen Huan, rumors will spread throughout the palace.

"The Queen is so kind. If Chun Chang knew this in the afterlife, it would be comforting."

"After all, Zhen Huan is still somewhat special. At this point, the emperor finally had no intention of continuing. He nodded, took the Sixth Prince's hand, and the two of them lay down together!"
