An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

An Lingrong, lying in the emperor's arms, carefully pondered the emperor's intentions. Did the emperor really like her? Or was it just a test?

But no matter what, An Lingrong would not agree. Not to mention that the account books of Yiqing Pavilion outside had kept her so busy that she had to squeeze in time for sleep.

If I accept, I will have to report to Concubine Hua every day and spend every day with her. I can't do this...

Moreover, if I really agree to it, given Concubine Hua's temperament, I had just rejected her solicitation that day. If I agree now, wouldn't I be pushing myself into the fire pit?

In this case, it would be better to just refuse it outright.

"I'm watching you! You just don't want to make progress..." The emperor said, nodding at An Lingrong. An Lingrong just smiled and responded, pulling the hand that the emperor extended.

Towards evening, Concubine Hua sent someone to invite the Emperor, saying that she had cooked ginseng and pheasant soup herself, and wanted to invite the Emperor to have dinner with her in the Yiku Palace. An Lingrong tactfully stood up and said goodbye.

The emperor's eyes flickered. It was for no other reason. He just remembered what Yixiu said that day. If the person in front of him really had feelings for him, could he really not be jealous?

"Rong'er, you are to me..." The emperor looked at An Lingrong, but didn't know how to ask the next question.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" An Lingrong looked up at the emperor and whispered in her heart: He only speaks half of the words. I'm afraid his suspicious nature has come back again... So she asked.

"Nothing..." The emperor looked at An Lingrong deeply. An Lingrong couldn't think of what this bastard had said to make her suspicious, so she could only turn around and leave...

At night, Shen Meizhuang came to Chengqian Palace without any warning. When Juqing came to report, An Lingrong thought something had happened.

"Are you sure it's Concubine Hui? Why is she here at this time?" An Lingrong looked at Juqing, and Juqing nodded.

"She didn't say anything, but I noticed that Concubine Hui looked fine." Ju Qing replied, and An Lingrong nodded.

"Help me to welcome her." An Lingrong stood up and just as she walked out of the inner hall, Shen Meizhuang came in with Caiyue.

"Sister, what's the matter? Why are you here at this time?"

As An Lingrong spoke, she looked at Shen Meizhuang and saw that Shen Meizhuang had a smile on her face. Just as Juqing said, it didn't seem like she had encountered any trouble. Only then did she finally feel relieved.

"Sister, please sit down." An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang sat opposite each other on the Arhat bed.

"I was thinking about coming here in the afternoon, but unfortunately you went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, so I was delayed until now." Shen Meizhuang still had a smile on her face, and she reached out and covered An Lingrong's hand.

"Sister, is there anything wrong?" An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang with a puzzled look on her face. She knew Shen Meizhuang. If there was nothing wrong, she would not have come to Chengqian Palace at this time.

"It's not a big deal. I'm here today to deliver a gift on behalf of someone." Shen Meizhuang spoke quickly when she saw that An Lingrong looked worried.

As soon as Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, Caiyue came forward with a brocade box and placed it on the low table between them.

"I'm here to deliver a thank-you gift on behalf of Huan'er today. Huan'er was afraid that you would refuse to accept it if she gave it to you herself, so she asked me to be the middleman." Shen Meizhuang still had a smile on her face as she pushed the box in front of An Lingrong.

An Lingrong opened it and found a hu of fourth-grade, almost third-grade Dongzhu pearls inside. She laughed uncontrollably...

This hu of oriental pearls could not have been sent by Zhen Huan at Shen Meizhuang's request. If it was really sent by Zhen Huan, it would have been a move to break up the relationship. How could it be a thank-you gift as Shen Meizhuang said? …

Once, in order to apologize on behalf of Huanbi, she gave herself a bucket of oriental pearls as an apology gift. Huanbi accepted the favor, and she gave the bucket of oriental pearls to her as a gift...

With Zhen Huan's mind, she couldn't possibly be unaware of the "origin" between this "Dongzhu" and the three of them. If she really wanted to thank them, she would definitely not give them something like Dongzhu...

"Sister Mei, let me and your sister not beat around the bush. I'll just ask directly, did you send this Dongzhu to me on your own initiative, right?" An Lingrong pushed the brocade box back and looked at Shen Meizhuang with a smile.

Shen Meizhuang didn't expect An Lingrong to guess it. Her face instantly turned red all the way to her neck. She pursed her lips and didn't dare to look at An Lingrong...

"Lingrong, I..." Shen Meizhuang raised her head and looked at An Lingrong, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

"Lingrong, I just think that you really helped her in this matter and helped her find the culprit who caused her to lose her child.

But she thought the emperor would seek justice for her child, but the emperor only imprisoned the man and even gave her the position...

She is now... even more devastated..."

Shen Meizhuang said as she reached out to hold An Lingrong's hand and added:

"But in my opinion, she should come to thank you anyway, but her mood is not much better than before. She has even become more depressed because the emperor failed to make a decision for her and the child twice...

I had no choice but to do this..."

Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong with an embarrassed expression and held An Lingrong's hand even tighter, hoping that she could understand her and not misunderstand her.

"Sister, you really don't have to do this. I just heard a few rumors about that matter and mentioned it casually. I never thought of asking her to thank me. Besides, this Dongzhu is precious and Lingrong cannot keep it."

An Lingrong gave Shen Meiyu a knowing smile and patted her hand to comfort her, but still pushed the brocade box over.

"No, no, no, the gift has already been given, there is no reason to take it back. Even if Huan'er hadn't happened, this Dongzhu was originally prepared for you. When I got it, I thought of you. You can't refuse..."

Shen Meizhuang pushed the box over again and continued to pull An Lingrong's hand.

An Lingrong looked at the box and shook her head, then looked at Shen Meizhuang with a dumb smile.

"Lingrong, you can't be angry with me because of this matter. You know that I did this because I saw that Huan'er was really pitiful..." Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong with an embarrassed look on her face.

An Lingrong sighed slightly, but did not withdraw her hand. She said to Shen Meizhuang, "Sister, Lingrong has something to say to you. It is to thank you for giving me such a valuable gift."

"That's what you said..." Seeing An Lingrong's serious expression, Shen Meizhuang nodded, changed her expression to a serious one, and looked at An Lingrong.

"Sister, a person's life is only a few decades long. Do you really want to tie your life to the lives of others? Have you ever thought about living for yourself?"

An Lingrong spoke, and although her tone was calm, the regret in her eyes was undisguised.

"Live for yourself?" Shen Meizhuang muttered to herself after hearing this, as if she was thinking about something, and did not speak for a long time.

"Sister is smart and will definitely understand what Lingrong means..." An Lingrong spoke again, and Shen Meizhuang came back to her senses and looked up at An Lingrong again.
