An Lingrong after rebirth

"That's right, Master Xia. I noticed that the ground here was much higher than other places. I knocked on it and found that the bricks and stones were loose. I opened it and found this porcelain bottle."

Xiao Xiazi patted the eunuch's shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Good boy, if you find out something, you will definitely get some benefits. He raised his hand and greeted everyone."

He hurried out and walked to Su Peisheng. "Master, you found this porcelain bottle under the bricks and stones. It was hidden very secretly. It should not be a good thing."

"Su Peisheng took a quick look. Is everything else okay? Xiao Xiazi turned around and looked at the wolf marks all over the hall and replied, "Everything else is fine!"

"Su Peisheng nodded and was silent for a moment. Zhongcui Palace didn't find any problems, so there must be something wrong with this thing! Let's go, the emperor is waiting for us to go back and report!"

"Xiao Xiazi let out a cry, and the group hurriedly left the Yanqing Palace and headed towards the Yanxi Palace."

.........

Gyeongin Palace

"Yixiu listened to Jianqiu's report, and a faint smile flashed across her lips. Isn't Shupin a good person to get along with? I'm afraid Duanpin will not get through this safely."

"Your Highness is right. Although Shupin seems to be aloof from the world, she is very ruthless. Wasn't the eunuch next to Chunchang also her doing?"

The matter of the Third Princess this time involved Concubine Shu, and it was also revealed by Concubine Shu intentionally or unintentionally that the servants knew about it! Jianqiu responded and said again, "Concubine Duan wanted to attack the Third Princess, and it is not difficult to predict such a result."

"Isn't this her way of hinting to me not to interfere in this matter? This matter has nothing to do with Jingren Palace, and I don't want to interfere in it."

"Yi Xiu smiled. Duanpin was courting death, which made Huafei the only one in power!"

"Who is he? Can he surpass the Majesty? Even if Concubine Hua is favored, she is childless. Why should the Majesty waste her time and energy on her?"

"Jianqiu was so proud that she lost her usual caution in her words. By the time she noticed Yixiu's change of expression, it was too late. She quickly knelt down. I spoke carelessly, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Yi Xiu's voice turned cold. I'm sure you know why Concubine Hua couldn't get pregnant. If someone heard this, do you know what the result would be?"

"Jianqiu lowered her head and was about to apologize, but was interrupted by Yixiu. You have always been cautious, which is a good thing. Kick it well and don't let anyone catch you doing anything wrong."

Yes, thank you very much for your teachings!

"Get up, go to the storehouse and pick out some things for the child. When this matter is over, send them to the princess for me. Go ahead and calm the third princess down."

Yes!

"No need to do anything. She's just a princess. It's not worth it for me to do anything. Besides, if the third princess gets into trouble at this critical moment, it's not an unprovoked disaster."

"Don't worry, Madam. I understand. Please go down. I am tired. Yes, I will take my leave!"

…………

"When Jingren Palace quieted down, Su Peisheng led a group of people and finally returned to Yanxi Palace. Looking at the porcelain bottle in Su Peisheng's hand, Duanpin stood there, her face still as calm as before."

"Even though this porcelain vase was exactly the same as the one I asked Cuiyi to put in Zhongcui Palace, it did not cause her any emotional fluctuations. As for the noble Borjigit, his heart tightened when he saw this."

"Could it be that he still failed to evade the calculations of others? He was anxious and wanted to step forward immediately, but somehow, his eyes turned and met An Lingrong's eyes."

"Looking at the other person's expression, he subconsciously paused and gave up the idea of ​​speaking again! In this short moment, Su Peisheng had already walked up to the emperor holding the porcelain bottle!"

"Your Majesty, this was found under a brick in Yanqing Palace. There is nothing unusual in Zhongcui Palace."

"Su Peisheng's words were like a stone dropping to the ground, causing Concubine Duan, who had been calm, to lose her composure. Borjigit looked at An Lingrong in great surprise."

"She took two steps back silently, closed her lips tightly, and said nothing! Concubine Duan asked in confusion, "Eunuch Su, what did you say? Was this found in my palace? How is it possible?"

"Princess Duan was panicking. She asked before the emperor could speak, causing everyone to look at her sideways!"

"Madam Duanpin, I dare not speak nonsense. There are seven or eight young eunuchs who followed us and they are watching us. This porcelain bottle was indeed found in Yanqing Palace."

"This is impossible. I have never attacked the Third Princess. This matter is definitely not my fault!"

Sister Duanpin's words made me confused.

"An Lingrong stood up and bowed to the emperor, then continued: Eunuch Su only said that the porcelain bottle was found in Yanqing Palace, and the imperial physician has not yet checked whether it is the poison of the blister beetle."

"Why is sister so anxious, thinking that this thing must be related to Cui Yi's death?"

"Duanpin was stunned, and her expression quickly turned ugly. Even if she was shrewd, she didn't know how to reply to An Lingrong at this moment."

Too anxious!

"I tightened my hands in my sleeves, but I have never seen anything like this before. I subconsciously thought that this thing was related to Cui Yi's death. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sister."

"Even though Concubine Duan said it so lightly, An Lingrong was not going to let her off so easily."

The elder sister's words made the younger sister even more confused?

"Even if it's as you said, you live in poverty, how can you be so sure that a small porcelain vase is not something from your palace?"

"After hearing this, Concubine Duan suddenly raised her head and stared at An Lingrong for a moment, then lowered her head. "Sister, I don't understand what you said, eh?"

Are you trying to frame me for this?

"Frame-up? Lady Duan is wrong. I don't even bother to do such a thing, but I won't stand by and watch someone murder the princess and do nothing."

"After saying that, he turned around and looked at Luo Rui who was standing beside him. It was useless to say more. It would be better to talk about the matter. Eunuch Su, please give the porcelain bottle to Doctor Luo."

Ask him to check if the porcelain bottle contains the poison of the blister beetle. Once this is confirmed, everything will be clear.

"After hearing this, Su Peisheng looked at the emperor and saw him nod. Then he handed the porcelain bottle to Luo Rui."

Doctor Luo!

Luo Rui reached out to take it, opened the bottle cap, took a look, and immediately closed the lid and bowed to the emperor. Your Majesty, this bottle really contains blister beetles mixed with clear oil.

"Luo Rui sentenced Concubine Duan to death with just one sentence. The emperor slapped the table and asked, "Qi, what else do you have to say?" Now that Concubine Duan is unwilling to say a word, it shows how angry the emperor is.

"Qi Yuebin smiled bitterly after hearing this, and without bending her knees, she said: Your Majesty, I have never done this, but it has come to this. I can't think of any other way to prove myself. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I am willing to be punished."

How could An Lingrong watch Concubine Duan show off her miserable condition in such a way!

"I suddenly stood up with tears in my eyes again. Your Majesty, although the princess is not my biological daughter, after raising her for a month, I really treat her as my own."

"Cui Yi had already pointed the finger at Concubine Duan before she died, and Concubine Duan had already behaved abnormally before she even found out what was in the porcelain bottle!"

"There are clearly blister beetles in this porcelain bottle. This is an irrefutable fact. Could it be that Duanpin can confuse right and wrong and shirk responsibility just by saying so?"

"Your Majesty, I am unwilling to give in. I am unwilling to give in for the princess! I am just playing the victim. Who in the harem wouldn't do that?"

"As soon as An Lingrong finished speaking, Shen Meizhuang stood up and walked over to her side to support her, and then said, "Your Majesty, the princess is weak, and I have seen every detail of how Shupin takes care of her."

"You really care more about her than your own son Hong Zhao. Now the princess has suffered such a disaster. It is really an unprovoked disaster. Please, Your Majesty, issue an order to punish the culprit, so that Shupin will not worry so much about the princess in vain."

"Shen Meizhuang already has an outstanding temperament, and her words are so convincing that it is impossible to refuse! The emperor closed his eyes and was about to speak, but Ji Ji behind Concubine Duan suddenly knelt down and took a few steps forward on his knees."

"Your Majesty, this was all done by me alone. My wife was not aware of it. Please understand!"

"Duanpin was stunned, and subconsciously raised her hand to pull Jiji up, but she stopped herself abruptly because she didn't know what she thought of."

"Jiji is my confidant. Compared to me, if I give up one person in exchange for my greetings, it is still worth it."

"But what happened today was what An Lingrong had been planning for a long time, so of course she won't get what she wants!" Ji Ji had just finished speaking.

"Shen Meizhuang on the side said, "You are the one who contacted Cui Yi and gave her the medicine. Do you think you can escape with your life?"

"After saying that, I looked at the emperor and said, 'Your Majesty, Jiji is just a servant. If you say that this was done by her alone, I will never believe it. Please, Your Majesty, please understand and punish the culprit.'"

"At this point, the emperor did not hesitate, coughed lightly, and spoke; Concubine Duan Qi attempted to murder the princess, her crime is unforgivable, I will be stripped of my title and demoted to a noble ghost in Yanqing Palace, and cannot leave without being summoned!"

"The palace maid Jiji, who assisted the tyrant in his atrocities, should be beaten to death"!

Your Majesty... Your Majesty... cough cough cough...

Qi Yuebin was now anxious. He held a handkerchief and covered his mouth while coughing for a long time before he finally caught his breath.

"Your Majesty, Jiji is the only maidservant by my side. Please have mercy on her and spare her life. I beg you."

"After Qi Yuebin finished saying this with one breath, he suddenly tilted his body and fainted. Because of Qi Yuebin's sudden fainting, the Yanxi Palace was in chaos, and because of this fainting, Ji Ji's life was temporarily saved!"

"The master and servant were sent back to the palace, but no one has ever set foot in the previously desolate Yanqing Palace."

I wonder if Qi Yuebin, with his dilapidated body, can survive in this cannibalistic harem!

As for Madam Fucha, from now on she was not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned!

…………

In the Yanxi Palace, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong sat opposite each other, not caring about Lian'er and Caiyue beside them. An Lingrong wiped her hand that had just taken the cake and said, "It's all thanks to my sister's help that Qi can pay the price."

Shen Meizhuang waved her hand and said, "Why are we talking about this? It's a pity that he was only demoted to a noble, and the only person who died was Cui Yi."

It was Qi who took her life. Now I think it can't be considered revenge for you! "Sister is good to me. I know that I can't do too much in front of the emperor for the sake of the children!"

"I just want to see if this sick noble lady can survive in this harem!"

"Rong'er is right, but I didn't expect Qi Yuebin to have his eyes on Zhao'er. Is he really blind?"

"Qi can't have children, but she's trying her best to raise someone else's child? She doesn't know that mother and child are connected by heart. How uncomfortable and painful it will be for the mother and child to be separated abruptly like this!"

"Shen Meizhuang sneered after hearing this. Seeing how ruthless she was, it was clear that she was not a piece of cake. For the sake of her own interests, how could she care about other people's feelings?"

"I wish everyone would be like Concubine Ding and die right after giving birth, so that she would have more chances to raise the child!"

"Sister is right!" An Lingrong nodded. Although it is said that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, but people should still have some conscience."

"An Lingrong has lived a lifetime and has long seen through these truths. Who in this world is not selfish?"

"You can do it for yourself, but you can't do it without scruples or recklessly. This will not have a good result."

"Now that I can start over, An Lingrong doesn't care about the future. All she needs to do is protect herself and her child. Don't care about unimportant things or people who are not worth it. Just live a good life."

Shen Meizhuang nodded repeatedly at An Lingrong's words. Just as she was about to speak, Jianqiu came in hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the noble Borjigit is outside asking to see you!"

"Ms. Borjigit? She came quickly?"

An Lingrong was not surprised by the other party's sudden visit, but was surprised that he came so quickly! Yue nodded and said, "Since you are here, please come in!"

"Qiufang withdrew in response, and a moment later, noble Borjigit came in slowly alone! In a short while, she changed into a green dress, and the green on her hair was not noticeable, only a jade hairpin was used to decorate it."

"It's obvious that she just took off her coat. There are still some slight wrinkles on the hem of her clothes. But the color is a bit bright. It gives people a sense of freshness when it's about to snow!"

"Borjigit is tall and slender. She doesn't look like a grassland girl at all. She has some of the characteristics of a Jiangnan girl."

Walking slowly to the front, Borjigit knelt down and said, "Lady of Zhongcui Palace, Borjigit, I pay my respects to Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian!"

You are too polite, my lord! An Lingrong raised her hand and said, "Lian'er, please show me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Borjigit sat down properly, her body straight, but her eyes fell on the ground at her toes, not meeting An Lingrong's gaze."

Seeing the other person's appearance, An Lingrong did not mean to embarrass him, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency seldom goes out on weekdays, and even rarely pays respects to the Empress. I wonder how you have time to come here today?"

An Lingrong didn't want to speak directly, but Borjigit didn't want to expose it? The corners of her mouth curved into a smile, "Today, because of the matter of Concubine Qi, I have the honor to meet the two ladies. I feel very cordial in my heart, so I came here rashly to disturb you. I hope you don't mind!"

"You are too polite, my Lord. You are not the only one who thinks so! I also think you are very kind and friendly. I will definitely get along well with you in the future!"

"An Lingrong smiled and said a few words, then continued: I'm afraid your Excellency will not be free next time?"

"After hearing this, Lady Borjigit was stunned. I am stupid and should ask Lady Shu for some advice!

"Your Excellency is too polite. Where did you say the word 'give me advice'? It's just that if the emperor likes it, we need to take the trouble to understand it, so that it can last for a long time."

"Borjigit's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded sincerely, "Yes, I understand."

"In that case, I will not keep you here to talk. Borjigit stood up and knelt. I will not keep you two ladies here any longer. I will come to the Yanxi Palace to bother you another day. I am leaving now!"

"Qiufang, help me see the noble lady off!" He gave Qiufang a look while speaking. Qiufang nodded and turned around to see Borjigit out. The palace became quiet for a while.

"After a while, Shen Meizhuang said (Rong'er, do you really want to praise the Borjigit family?"

"An Lingrong smiled and said, Sister, I am just a concubine. How can I be qualified to praise others? I just think that the more chaotic the harem is, the better."

We can be safe, Shen Meizhuang smiled after hearing this, they are content with having a son now.
