An Lingrong after rebirth

Turning her head to look at Xiao, An Lingrong felt relieved when she saw that the other party looked calm. With Xiao around to give her some advice, she hoped that nothing would go wrong.

After persuading Lin, Ruguhan finally calmed down because of the commotion caused by An Bihuai's death.

In the skylight

Yixiu sat on the couch with a gloomy face, pinching Yu Ruyu's fingers so hard that they turned pale! Jianqiu knelt down, Guang, don't worry, the little eunuch is dead! There is no evidence, Lipin felt that she could not escape.

What has Concubine Li calculated? I want the Emperor to pin the blame on Concubine Hua. There was a hint of anger in Yixiu's voice, which made Jianqiu a little nervous.

Everyone in the harem knows that Lipin is Hua Fei's running dog, and her people can know the news outside the palace before the Emperor. If not her, who else could tell Lipin?

Even if the emperor does not pursue her now, this matter will leave a deep impression on the emperor, and he will believe that Concubine Hua cannot escape the blame.

What Jianqiu said made some sense. The Queen would also have the same idea. After a moment of silence, she asked, "How is the palace maiden on Lipin's side being bribed?"

Your Majesty, Ying'er beside Concubine Li is now available. I have already arranged the source of the musk. Your Majesty can report to the Emperor at any time.

Yixiu has always been cautious in doing things. If she doesn't take action, it's fine. But if she takes action, it will be a dead end. She knows in her heart that the emperor has not forgotten about musk after eating Su Hexiang.

Since Lipin has been plotted against this time, just give him a quick death. Wouldn't it be very satisfying to break Huafei's arm?

She nodded slightly. Whose name did the emperor pick today? Your Majesty, maybe something happened with Concubine Shu, so the emperor hasn't picked the name yet and is still reviewing memorials in the Qinzheng Hall.

"Has the punishment for Lipin not been decided yet?" There was no movement in the Queen's Qinzheng Palace. Yixiu stretched out her hand, and Jianqiu quickly stood up to help the Queen up. In this case, I might as well give Lipin a big gift!

Jianqiu chuckled after hearing this, and helped the Queen out of the hallway, got on the sedan chair and walked all the way to the Qinzheng Palace. Su Peisheng stood at the door, thinking about everything that had happened in Ruguhanjin today, feeling a little confused.

But the emperor didn't order him to investigate, so he didn't want to do it. He stood up straight, adjusted his hat with his hand, and saw Jianqiu coming with the queen.

I hurried over and said, "I'm here to pay my respects to the Empress. Please excuse me. Is the Emperor free now?" In reply to the Empress, the Emperor is reviewing memorials. Please allow me to report this to the Emperor.

Yixiu nodded without saying anything, and Su Peisheng bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment." He turned and went into the hall, and came out after a while and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor is free now, please come in."

Yixiu gestured to Jianqiu to hand over a purse, then quickly walked into the hall, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

After Yixiu finished speaking, the emperor raised his head and said, "No need to be polite. Why did you come here at this time? What's the matter?"

Yixiu walked over and sat opposite the emperor, and said with a smile, I heard that the emperor did not flip the cards today, so I thought I would come and see you when you have time.

Today, Shen's name card was originally to be turned over. Since Concubine Shu is not feeling well, and they two want to be good friends, let Shen accompany Concubine Shu. Of course, I cannot force her to do so.

Seeing that the emperor could still joke, Yixiu smiled and said that the emperor was considerate of his sisters, which was indeed the behavior of a wise ruler. After praising him, Yixiu said that she had come here today for something.

I want to talk to the emperor! "What's the matter?" The emperor looked at Yixiu and asked in confusion? The emperor has found a clue about Su Hexiang.

The topic finally caught the emperor's attention. He put down what he was holding and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it?" Yixiu did not answer immediately. Your Majesty, I have already brought people here.

In order to avoid wrongly accusing others, bring someone in first so that the emperor can ask in person. The emperor nodded and said, "You decide!" Yixiu smiled and saw Qiu bring Ying'er up.

Jianqiu walked quickly to the door and waved. Jiang Fuhai asked two young eunuchs to escort a palace maid to the door quickly. Upon closer inspection, it was Ying'er, the palace maid beside Concubine Li.

Jianqiu waved at Jiang Fuhai, who pushed Ying'er in front of Jianqiu. Jianqiu pinched Ying'er's chin and forced her to look up. They looked at each other, and when they saw the fear in each other's eyes, they nodded with satisfaction.

He turned around and led Ying'er into the hall. When they arrived, Ying'er knelt on the ground with a plop. "I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress."

Yixiu put one hand on her knee and the other on the table, and said in a very normal tone: Ying'er, repeat to the emperor what you said to me.

Ying'er knelt beside Jianqiu's feet. After hearing this, Ying'er turned her head and looked left and right as if to cover herself, and then she whispered: In reply to the Queen, Concubine Wan discovered that the musk in Su Hexiang was made by Concubine Li.

Ying'er went straight to the point without the two of them asking any more questions. Before they could continue asking, Ying'er went on to say: Concubine Li said that Concubine Wan had become arrogant after being favored, and she didn't even greet her when she came.

She even repeatedly called out Concubine Hua's words. Concubine Li couldn't stand it. When she heard that the Imperial Household Department had Su Hexiang, she thought that maybe the Emperor would give Su Hexiang to Concubine Wan.

So the court bribed people to put musk in Rusuhexiang. Even if the emperor did not give it to Wan Guiren, giving it to others would only make people unable to get pregnant for a year or so. It's not a big impact, right?

When Ying'er said this, Yixiu turned to look at the emperor, but saw the emperor's gloomy face, and a faint light flashed in his eyes!

If Concubine Li knows about musk, then the Huanyi incense in Concubine Hua's palace... Although Ying'er's words were directed at Concubine Li, the sentence "Noble Lady Wan's words were a loss of face for Concubine Hua" was enough to make the other party guess a lot.

Without giving the emperor time to think, Yixiu spoke again: Your Majesty, I think Ying'er's words are not credible. According to her confession, I personally questioned Kang Luhai, who was responsible for Lipin's instigation of this matter.

He has already admitted his guilt. After admitting the crime, he thought he had done too many wrong things and bit his tongue to commit suicide. Does Your Majesty want to summon Concubine Li to ask her in person?

The emperor closed his eyes and shook his head after a long while before he spoke: There is both witnesses and evidence. It is clear that Concubine Li intended to murder Concubine Wan and was dissatisfied with Concubine Shu's pregnancy. I think she is not wronged for any of the things she did.

Su Peisheng conveyed my order that Lipin Fei, who has evil intentions and intends to murder the heir to the throne, should not be allowed to remain a concubine. She should be demoted to a concubine and banished to the cold palace. Go and do it immediately, and do not come back to report to me.

Lipin was just an unpopular concubine who followed the lead of Huafei, so Su Peisheng had no worries. He responded and led a team of eunuchs to Lipin's residence.

The palace fell silent for a moment. Yixiu waved her hand and asked Jianqiu to take Ying'er away. "Your Majesty, the truth has been revealed now. This is also justice for Concubine Wan and Concubine Shu."

I heard that Concubine Wan is not seriously ill and will be able to conceive a child for Your Majesty after a period of recuperation. Your Majesty does not need to worry.

The Queen has managed the harem well. I will listen to these dirty things in the future! The Emperor's words seemed to be a casual chat, but his tone was somewhat tentative, and Yixiu's heart was like a drum beating.

Yixiu was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head. It was her fault that she failed to manage the harem well. In the future, she will be more cautious about things like Lipin harming people. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Forget it, it’s getting late, you should go back early! The emperor didn’t seem to want to continue talking, he picked up the book on the table and waved his hand to let the queen leave.

Yixiu could only kneel down and say, "Yes, I will take my leave." Turning around and leaving the Qinzheng Palace, Yixiu supported Jianqiu and did not act like a spoiled child. The master and servant walked towards the sky.

After they had some distance away, Jianqiu looked around and saw that there was no one around, then said to the Queen: Her Majesty Ying'er has been dealt with. She committed suicide out of fear of punishment, which was the best outcome for her to succeed Concubine Li.

Yixiu said coldly that those who betrayed their master deserved death. She whispered again that although Fei Yunyan was not important in Concubine Hua's eyes, she was suddenly banished to the cold palace.

To give the appearance of showing favor to the outside world, Concubine Hua will certainly plead with the emperor for her. Do the matter cleanly and solve it before returning to the palace, so that there will be no worries.

Jianqiu nodded and said, “I understand. Your Majesty, don’t worry. I will arrange for someone to go back to the palace so that Fei Yunyan and Fei Changzai will not be able to return to Zijing City.”

Well, Concubine Shu is about to give birth, haven't you figured out a solution yet? My lady, Concubine Shu is cautious, Concubine Shen wants to follow Concubine Shu every minute, and with Zhuying here, I really can't find a better way.

Jianqiu lowered her head and answered cautiously. Yixiu paused after hearing this. A mere noble lady had forced her into a corner where she had no way to deal with it. Did she want me to watch with my own eyes as she gave birth to a child safely?

Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although Concubine Shu has not been in the palace for long, Ru Gu Hanjin has been treated like an iron barrel by her and Concubine Shen. I really...

Forget it, Yixiu waved her hand. I don’t want to hear about your difficulties. I just want to see the result. Since Ru Guhan can’t help now, do the midwife and wet nurse have any chance?

Jianqiu's face became even uglier. She moved her lips and said through gritted teeth, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother personally ordered that the midwife and the wet nurse be arranged by the Queen Mother, and Zhuying personally selected them, so......"

Yixiu paused and stopped talking, but he stepped harder. The master and servant walked in silence until the sky was bright, and then Yixiu spoke.

It seems that the Queen Mother is determined to save Concubine Shu's fetus this time. In this case, nothing we do will be of any use! Your Majesty, I will definitely arrange for someone to find an opportunity, but the chance is slim. I can't do anything. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Yixiu walked under the osmanthus tree, stretched out her hand to break off a leaf and held it in her hand. "It's okay. The Queen Mother wants her to give birth and she has to do it herself. Even I can't do anything. Mo said it's you."

We can't touch Concubine Shu at all. Since the Empress Dowager wants her to give birth, there's nothing wrong in fulfilling her wish. A child won't grow up all at once after it's born. The Empress Dowager is in poor health, so let's wait a little longer!

Jianqiu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Yes, Your Majesty." Lipin was demoted to a concubine, and when Su Peisheng brought the imperial edict to Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua was calling Lipin and Cao Moqin were talking in the palace!

Su Peisheng led his people into Qingliang Palace and bowed. He paid his respects to Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Cao, but missed Concubine Li, which surprised Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei exempted Su Peisheng from the ceremony and asked, "Eunuch Su, why are you here now? Is there any order from the emperor?" Su Peisheng flicked his whisk and passed on the emperor's oral order that Li Concubine had plotted to murder the heir and poisoned concubines, so she was not worthy of being a concubine and was demoted to a concubine, and was immediately sent to the cold palace.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Peisheng flicked his whisk again and promised that the carriage back to Zijing City was waiting inside. Please come in! After Su Peisheng finished speaking, Lipin hadn't reacted yet.

Concubine Hua asked anxiously: "Eunuch Su, this decree is unclear. Can you tell me why the emperor issued such a decree?"

In reply to Concubine Hua, Fei Chang put musk in the Su He Xiang that she sent to Concubine Wan for the Emperor. Today, she also instructed the eunuch to go to Ru Gu Han to tell Concubine Shu that her father was robbed and killed by bandits when she came to Beijing.

The emperor was very angry about the shock to Concubine Shu's dragon fetus! Hua Fei looked at Concubine Fei in surprise, with disbelief in her eyes.

No one knows what Fei Yunyan is like, and how could she do such a thing? Fei Yunyan finally reacted, "How dare you, Su Peisheng, fake the imperial edict!"

Madam Hua Fei, I have never done such a thing. Please help me! Su Peisheng looked very unhappy. No one would be happy if they were forced to fake the imperial edict!

Ignoring Fei Yunyan's madness, Su Peisheng bowed to Concubine Hua and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your servant's behavior." Su Peisheng raised his hand and several young eunuchs stepped forward and dragged Fei Yunyan out regardless of her struggle.

Concubine Hua's eyes flashed with a trace of pity. Seeing Su Peisheng was about to leave, she couldn't help but shout, "Eunuch Su..."

Su Peisheng looked at Concubine Hua with confusion. What does the Queen want?
