[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

Chapter 125 The Empress Dowager Collapses

The emperor's series of methods made the former court and the harem completely silent.The queen mother who got the news also fell ill, and the situation was not very optimistic.The emperor has not yet made the final disposition to Prince Dun and the Fourteenth Prince, and now he is only confining the two of them and their families in the palace.The Qing Dynasty did not kill the prince, so the emperor naturally would not risk the disgrace of the world.It's just that in this world, there are too many ways to make life worse than death.

The Empress Dowager was getting old, she was unhappy, she was too worried, her illness would not recover for a long time, and she felt that she was terminally ill.Although the emperor and the empress dowager could not be called mother-child affection, after all they had to take care of their faces, so the emperor arranged for concubine Qi, concubine Jing and Meizhuang to serve the sick.

That's right, it's Meizhuang.The queen mother has always liked Meizhuang, because of the previous incident, the emperor doesn't like to see Meizhuang now.But Meizhuang lived very steadily, and he was very repentant, and the emperor gradually softened his attitude.After all, Meizhuang also gave birth to two princesses for the emperor, and it was only a moment of confusion that made the mistake.

The queen mother's illness has been dragging on, and the emperor went to pay her respects from time to time. Every time, the queen mother would directly or implicitly intercede for the fourteenth prince, but the emperor did not let go of the fourteenth prince in the end.

It is also ironic to say that after the emperor ascended the throne, he only named his younger brother as the county king, and did not give him a title. Compared with Prince Yi, Ling Rong always felt that Prince Yi was the emperor's younger brother. Prince.

However, the emperor would not risk the disgrace of the world and kill his own brothers. In the end, Prince Dun and the Fourteenth Prince were just deprived of their titles and imprisoned.As far as Ling Rong's memory is concerned, neither of these two princes was short-lived, at least in the last life when she died, she was still alive and well.

When the queen mother heard the bad news that her son was imprisoned, her condition worsened, and she was already dying.The queen mother never forgot that she wanted to see her youngest son, but the emperor refused to allow it with a dark face.Mausoleum Rong also served the Empress Dowager, but only for half a day.Ling Rong was startled by the appearance of the queen mother who was dying of illness. She never knew that a person could decay like this in such a short period of time. The last time she saw the queen mother, although the queen mother was also a little sick, she could still suppress her everywhere. Now But it was difficult to utter a complete sentence fluently, and it seemed that there was only one breath left.

The time Ling Rong attended her bedside, the Empress Dowager's eyes brightened for a moment but then immediately fell silent. Ling Rong could almost see what the Empress Dowager wanted to say from the complex eyes of the Empress Dowager.Ling Rong is not a soft-hearted person, but he still feels a little sad when he sees the queen mother.

But Ling Rong would not speak for the queen mother, regardless of whether the emperor would accept it or not, the queen mother alone caused her to be weak and sick, so she would not help her.

The queen mother couldn't get over it in the end. On May 23, the queen mother died in the Yonghe Palace, and she couldn't see her beloved young son in the end.

The queen mother collapsed, and everyone in the harem needed to observe filial piety. They took off their hairpins and put on plain clothes. The mausoleum looked at the concubines in the dark room who were weeping mournfully, and just sighed, and wept with the flow.

Keeping a spirit is not an easy task. Ling Rong is weak and is basically supported by tonics.After finally surviving the first seven days of the Empress Dowager, the coffin of the Empress Dowager was temporarily placed in the Yonghe Palace, waiting to be buried with the late emperor on an auspicious day.Ling Rong couldn't hold on any longer, and fell ill again.

The emperor was busy with state affairs and family affairs, so he only came to visit the mausoleum occasionally, but the supplements were continuously rewarded, and the mausoleum was peaceful and peaceful, taking care of his body with peace of mind.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the emperor didn't say to go to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat, so everyone could only endure.Mausoleum is not short of ice, and the life is quite comfortable, and the body is getting better.It's just that the emperor is not in the mood to enter the harem now, and Ling Rong is still a little apprehensive towards the emperor, so he continues to claim that he is sick and is raised in Zhongcui Palace.

In August, something serious happened in the harem. Zhen Huan's personal maid, Liu Zhu, died. She died under the knife of the gate guards just to invite Zhen Huan an imperial physician. The palace was in an uproar.

Even though Zhen Huan was grounded, Zhen Huan was still the emperor's concubine after all, and she was still pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood, but she fell so sick that she couldn't even invite an imperial doctor. It is said that even the daily meals are rotten, how sad!Seeing this, Ling Rong couldn't help but tremble, as if he saw those days when he was not favored and humiliated again!The terrible memory made Ling Rong wake up, and instantly made Ling Rong overcome his fear of the emperor. In the harem, nothing is terrible from falling out of favor!Ling Rong's illness finally recovered.

Liu Zhu's death was not in vain, Zhen Huan was released from the ban, and soon recovered again, becoming one of the favorite concubines.Knowing the current affairs, Zhen Huan no longer clashed with the emperor in order to intercede with Zhen Yuandao, but only earnestly favored her.The emperor paid off. When Zhen Huan was eight months pregnant, the emperor ordered Jin Zhen Huan to be a concubine of Guan.

The status of a "concubine" is neither high nor low, which is a little embarrassing. Whether the canonization ceremony is acceptable or not is only at the emperor's whim.Obviously, the emperor still loved Zhen Huan very much, and the canonization ceremony was set after the Double Ninth Festival.

As a member of the harem, Ling Rong naturally wanted to participate in this grand event, but she didn't know if it would go well or not. As far as she knew, the queen was not very happy about it, and Concubine Hua also made small moves frequently.I don't know if the events of the previous life will happen again, but the mausoleum doesn't matter, it's just a show.

Unfortunately, the tragedy repeated itself. Zhen Huan was still framed and wore the old clothes of Queen Chunyuan, which angered the emperor. Not to mention the concubine she got was gone, she was grounded again.At this time, Huanbi's life experience was also exposed, and he was punished for several crimes. Zhen Yuandao, his wife and daughter were sent to Ninggu Pagoda together.Heartbroken, Zhen Huan unfortunately gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a sickly little princess. Huan Bi was also beaten back to her original form and returned to Zhen Huan's side again to become a court lady.Three days later, regardless of her weak body, Zhen Huan insisted on going to Ganlu Temple to practice.The emperor's authority was greatly challenged and he was very angry, but he still felt pity for Zhen Huan and hoped that Zhen Huan would change his mind.It's a pity that Zhen Huan's temper was too strong, so the emperor allowed Zhen Huan to leave the palace and go to Ganlu Temple to practice.Zhen Huan's daughter, Princess Ozuki, was handed over to Concubine Jing to take care of her.Everything seemed to be back to how it was before.

Ling Rong watched Zhen Huan leave the palace with Huanbi and Cui Jinxi, feeling very complicated.At this time in the previous life, her relationship with Zhen Huan had already existed in name only. Seeing Zhen Huan's tragic situation, she was a little gloating; but now, seeing Zhen Huan's disheartened appearance, she only felt the helplessness and sorrow of the harem woman, There was a sense of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, which also sounded the alarm for Ling Rong.

That night, Ling Rong repaired a letter and entrusted someone to hand it over to Ling Zhi.She doesn't want her brother to be high and powerful, she only hopes that her brother can hold up the lintel and protect himself wisely.The emperor's heirs are not abundant, as long as Hongxi Hongrui can grow up safely, it will not be a problem to be named a county king, as long as the family is stable.As for An Bihuai, it might be a good choice to retire from her old age and return to her hometown. She believes that her brother will handle it properly.

Zhen Huan's leaving the palace did not cause any disturbances, and it is a good thing to have less personal favors, but it is less than half a year since the empress dowager passed away, and the emperor was in a bad mood, so no one was willing to take the risk.From time to time, Ling Rong would send someone to deliver some supplements to the emperor, but she would not go there in person. After all, she was not here to invite pets, but just to show her heart.

The emperor occasionally came to Zhongcui Palace to see the two children and have lunch, and every time he came, he would let Lingrong sing a song to relieve his worries.It's just that Ling Rong is weak and has two children to take care of, the emperor is also considerate, probably just listening to one or two songs is enough, and he doesn't stay overnight, so that Ling Rong won't be too conspicuous.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye another spring and autumn, the empress dowager's body has been buried with the late emperor in Jingling Mausoleum, posthumous title: Xiao Gong Xuan Hui Wen Su Ding Yu Ci Chun Qin Mu Zan Tian Cheng Sheng Ren Queen. However, Ling Rong felt that no amount of honor after death could compare to the happiness and smoothness of life.

Ling Rong didn't have any feelings of compassion, but just sighed with emotion.Now, Hongxi is also four years old. Although he does not need to go to school, he has reached the age of enlightenment.Lingrong's knowledge is average, but teaching Hongxi to recite "Thousand Characters" is not a problem.

Once, the emperor saw that Lingrong was teaching Hongxi to recite, and Hongxi could recite well, so he rewarded some brushes, ink, paper and inkstone and a copybook, and taught Hongxi to write in person. Hongxi was very happy and practiced very diligently.

Ling Rong was afraid that Hongxi would hurt his hands and eyes due to his young age, so he begged the emperor to ask for a favor to let Hongxi learn riding and archery with Hongxi.In fact, at Hongxi's current age, he was just following along for fun.

Hongzhou was not too young, and the emperor intended to bestow him with a son-in-law, Fujin, but it happened that the empress dowager passed away, so he planned to make arrangements later.As for Hongli, the emperor didn't like to see him very much, and didn't mention a word.

It has been more than a year since Zhen Huan left the palace, and Ooyue can speak and go, but only recognizes Concubine Jing as her mother, Mei Zhuang and Concubine Jing are getting closer, and Ooyue also likes Mei Zhuang very much.Because Mei Zhuang was very useful for serving the Empress Dowager, the emperor gradually softened his attitude, Mei Zhuang's two daughters returned to Mei Zhuang's side, and Ling Rong couldn't help but admire Mei Zhuang.Mei Zhuang is a sober enough person, knowing that the relationship with Ling Rong could not be restored as before, so he didn't sullenly ask for peace, and the two coexisted peacefully like strangers.

Half a year later, it has been nearly two years since the queen mother passed away.These days, the emperor seems to have lost interest in the concubines in the harem, and he rarely gets lucky.Although the emperor would come to Zhongcui Palace from time to time, he seldom stayed overnight. Lingrong's body has basically recovered, and the imperial doctor said that there is still a chance to give birth to another heir, which made Lingrong very satisfied.

However, seeing that the draft in the second half of the year is imperative, Ling Rong's two children are young, and Ling Rong is not in a hurry to have another child. She must thoroughly understand the new recruits.
