After the emperor dealt with Yunyu and Yunyu's two confidantes, the court settled down, and the emperor also began to reward his confidants.Longkodo, Ma Qi, and Nian Gengyao were all ministers of the humerus, and rewards were of course indispensable. Among them, Nian Gengyao's favor was the most prosperous.

Prior to this, Nian Gengyao had successively been awarded the titles of third-class duke and second-class duke for his military achievements in pacifying Tibet and the Qinghai Rebellion. Inheritance; his father, Nian Xialing, was conferred the title of first-class public, plus the title of Taifu, and his mother was also given the imperial order of the second rank; in the harem, Concubine Hua was about to be canonized as a noble concubine because of Nian Gengyao's relationship.

The emperor treated the Nian family with great honor and favor.

When the news came, it made many people in the harem feel sour. Ling Rong just responded lightly, saying that he knew it, and then continued to teach Hongxi how to speak with great interest.

When the emperor came to Changfutang, what he saw was Ling Rong in a blue uniform holding the chubby Hong Xi, pointing at various objects while walking and teaching Hong Xi to speak warmly.

The emperor didn't let anyone inform him, and Ling Rong only knew that the emperor was coming when he heard the greetings from the maids and nuns around him, so he hurriedly put Hong Xi down to greet him.

"Get up." The emperor stretched out his hand to pull Ling Rong up, and then waved his hand to make everyone flatten.

"The emperor didn't let anyone tell me when he came here. The concubine's slovenly appearance is too disrespectful." Ling Rong hugged Hong Xi again and said angrily.

"No problem, I just like your leisurely look." The emperor squeezed Hong Xi's fleshy little hands and said with a smile.

"Ama." Hong Xi's big dark eyes rolled, and the words popped out in a childish voice.

"Yo, Hong Xi will call Ama now." Ling Rong said happily, "Come, come, call Er Niang to listen."

"Mother, I'm hungry." Hong Xi said innocently, looking at Ling Rong.

"..." Ling Rong was speechless, deeply feeling that in his son's heart she was the same as Fan, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Your Majesty, let the servant take the little elder brother down for some food." The nanny said cautiously.

"He who has no conscience knows how to eat." Ling Rong gently stuffed Hong Xi into the arms of the nanny in a bad mood, and waved the nanny to go down.

"Why be angry with a child, act like a child." The emperor laughed.

"The emperor is used to making fun of his concubines." Naturally, Ling Rong was not really annoyed, and chatted with the emperor in a good mood.

"In a few days, I will go out of the palace with the empress to pray for blessings. All matters in the harem will be handled by Concubine Hua. You should be more careful and take care of yourself and Hongxi. Be patient if you have any grievances. When I come back, I will meet with you." You decide." The emperor said.

"The concubine saves it. Besides, the concubine and the concubine have no grievances in the past and the concubine has no enmity in the past, and the concubine will not embarrass the concubine and Hongxi for no reason. Don't worry, the emperor." Ling Rong said with a smile.

"It's always right to be careful," the emperor urged.

"The concubine would like to follow the instructions of the emperor." Ling Rong continued, "Actually, the concubine feels that although the imperial concubine is a bit too straightforward, she still has a good heart and will not criticize others at will."

"Oh? How did you see that?" the emperor raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Chenqie remembers that last winter, when Chenqie and Sister Mei took Princess Hejing to play in the imperial garden, they accidentally soiled the clothes of the imperial concubine and empress, and the empress did not blame her." Ling Rong said with a smile .

"Really? If you don't blame him, you are a good person?" The emperor laughed.

"It's not just like that. Before when the concubine was in a bad mood, she always felt sad for other people's unintentional words. At that time, although the imperial concubine did not directly comfort her, she also spoke to stop those unintentional words so that the concubine could I can breathe. Even if the imperial concubine did not speak for the sake of the concubine, the concubine is still very grateful." Ling Rong said sadly.

"You are kind." The emperor sighed slightly, patted Ling Rong's hand, and said nothing more.

"The concubine sees that the imperial concubine likes children very much, so the concubine thinks that a person who can't bear to criticize her children must be soft in his heart, and he will definitely not be a treacherous person." Ling Rong adjusted In a good mood, he smiled.

"Perhaps." The emperor said ambiguously, he didn't mention this topic again, and Ling Rong didn't say anything more.

The emperor didn't stay for a long time, Hong Xi fell asleep after eating enough, Ling Rong was also happy and leisurely, took out a pair of embroidery and embroidered stitch by stitch, his thoughts drifted away.

She remembered that when the emperor and the empress went out to pray for blessings, Concubine Hua was also the agent of the harem.At that time, Zhen Huan was being favored and hindered Concubine Hua's eyes. Even though Zhen Huan was careful and forbearing, Concubine Hua found an excuse to punish her to kneel, even though she was pregnant.Kneeling under the scorching sun, Zhen Huan, who was already restless, had a miscarriage on the spot, blood staining Yikun Palace.

The scarlet blood was her fault, the queen's fault, and Concubine Hua's fault.

Others only thought that Concubine Hua was jealous and deliberately caused Zhen Huan to have a miscarriage, but she knew that if she had to care about the severity of the crime, Concubine Hua would be the one with the least sin.

In the past, she might not be able to see through it. When she first entered the palace, she also thought that Concubine Hua was the one with the most vicious mind, because Concubine Hua's badness and poison were written on her face.But after going through that cycle of life and death, she now sees it much more clearly.

Even though Concubine Hua likes to be bitter and jealous, she will bully and punish favored concubines, but she will not lay hands on the emperor's heirs, and she will rarely take the lives of palace concubines. After all, she has a heart for the emperor; Not jealous, but the one with the most vicious mind!The emperor's heirs are so weak, and the empress has made great contributions.Perhaps, there should be another empress dowager. The empress dowager's selfishness and indifference are also a major reason why the empress has become more and more unscrupulous.

She is even more afraid of the tiger who barks its teeth and the wolf who waits for an opportunity. She is even more afraid of the wolf hiding in the dark.

It's a pity that she is very soft-spoken, even if she knows it, she can't do anything about it.After all, the empress is the mother of a country. As long as she does not commit a heinous crime, the emperor will not depose her empress, let alone the emperor's biological mother who escorts her.Unless the queen committed the emperor's taboo, by the way, taboo!

The terrible fact that she failed to prove in her previous life may become the trump card to bring down the queen!Perhaps, she knows what to do.It's just that she can't do it herself, she can't touch it at all.Maybe Concubine Hua could also be an ally.

Concubine Hua... Concubine Hua is not a good person to deal with. Cooperating with her is not only risky but also must be done quickly. Otherwise, according to the speed of Nian Gengyao's downfall, she is afraid that Concubine Hua will die before things are done.This matter is too risky and difficult. She still needs to plan and plan carefully. Maybe Zhen Huan will be a good helper.

Early the next morning, the news of Zhen Huan's pregnancy spread throughout the harem like the east wind of spring.Ling Rong couldn't help feeling that Zhen Huan's pregnancy came at an inopportune time.I just don't know, without her as an accomplice, that bloody murder will happen again, whether she, Zhen Huan, can keep this child.

The emperor was very happy when he learned that Zhen Huan was pregnant, and the rewards were sent to Zhen Huan's palace like flowing water. At the same time, there was news that Zhen Huan was about to be promoted to concubine.Ling Rong was not surprised, on the contrary, she felt that Zhen Huan's promotion was a bit slow.

One early morning at the end of June, when the sun was shining, the emperor and queen's car drove out of the Forbidden City in a mighty way. The concubines watched the car go away, and wanted to go back to their dorms.It's a pity that the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, Concubine Hua invited everyone to Yikun Palace for a small gathering, and everyone had to endure hunger to go.Ling Rong had expected that Concubine Hua would make such a move early in the morning, so he made preparations early and had breakfast, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at this time.

Following the crowd to Yikun Palace, as soon as they entered the hall, Ling Rong couldn't help frowning due to the strong and domineering smell of Huan Yixiang, and subconsciously covered his nose and mouth with an embroidered handkerchief.

Concubine Hua put on the demeanor of a noble concubine, beating everyone with every word, and building her own prestige.No one in the harem is a real fool, they all avoid their sharp edge and do not want to have any conflicts with Concubine Hua.Zhen Huan is naturally the same, but Concubine Hua will not let Zhen Huan go so easily.

Concubine Hua's words were stinging, and from time to time she called Zhen Huan to come out to answer, and Zhen Huan's face, which was not in a good mood, became even more ugly.Ling Rong just watched with cold eyes, and didn't speak up, let alone chime in.

Ling Rong learned from Wen Shichu that Zhen Huan's pregnancy was not safe, and perhaps she wanted a child too much, but Zhen Huan was a little overwhelmed.Thinking about it, it's no wonder that what Huanbi and Yu Yinger did before greatly reduced Zhen Huan's favor; now that there are more and more pregnant concubines in the harem, no matter how calm Zhen Huan can hold her breath, she can't help herself. It is inevitable to be impatient.

Concubine Hua was tired of tossing around, so she mercifully let everyone go back. After Ling Rong returned to Changfu Hall, she ordered everyone to go back to wash and change clothes, and then she went to accompany Hongxi after washing and changing clothes carefully.

In the last life, Ling Rong had carefully studied the ingredients of Huanyixiang. It not only contains extremely heavy musk, but also some other harmful spices. Long-term use will not only make people unable to conceive, but also affect people's life expectancy. influential.The person who prepared this spice had a vicious mind, or the emperor's mind was really deep and terrifying. Every time he thought of this, Ling Rong felt shuddering.

On the second day, Concubine Hua sent people early to inform the concubines to go to Yikun Palace to talk, and did not let them go for more than two hours a day. It lasted for five consecutive days. It was really tiring, and Lingrong also paid attention Zhen Huan's face became paler.

On the morning of the sixth day, everyone gathered in Yikun Palace again, but Zhen Huan was the only one missing.

"It's already this hour, why hasn't the nobleman here yet? Song Zhi, you go and invite the nobleman to come in person." Seeing that Zhen Huan didn't come, Concubine Hua's face was very ugly.

Ling Rong took a sip of tea, thinking about what to do. She didn't want to get involved in the fight between Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan, but she also didn't want Concubine Hua to anger the emperor so quickly because of Zhen Huan.

When Zhen Huan came to Yikun Palace, her complexion was very ugly, she was almost helped in by Liu Zhu and Jinxi.Ling Rong could tell at a glance that Zhen Huan's condition was very bad. I'm afraid that even if Concubine Hua didn't deliberately make things difficult, Zhen Huan's pregnancy would be difficult.

Ling Rong is still hesitating whether to help Zhen Huan, while Concubine Hua is already making things difficult for Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan is about to be punished to kneel.With Concubine Hua's temperament, she really couldn't be more anxious.

"The imperial concubine, please calm down, the concubine looks very ugly at the nobleman's face, why don't you ask the imperial physician to show the nobleman before punishing him." Seeing that no one pleaded for Zhen Huan, Ling Rong could only speak by himself.

"Concubine Jin is trying to intercede for the noble man?" Concubine Hua raised her brows, very displeased.

"The concubine dare not. The concubine just sees that the nobleman's complexion is not very good. I am afraid that the fetal breath is not stable. No matter how the nobleman makes mistakes, he should be punished, but he should not harm the emperor's heir. If the emperor's heir has something wrong, The empress is afraid that she will also be implicated. Why don't you let the imperial physician come to check the pulse, if the fetal gas is stable, then it will not be too late to punish, how does the empress feel?" Ling Rong looked at the concubine Hua at the head seriously and said peacefully.

"Forget it, some people in the province think that this palace is deliberately making things difficult, Song Zhi, go and invite the imperial physician." Concubine Hua was unexpectedly easy-going, and accepted Ling Rong's proposal, which surprised Ling Rong very much.

"Before the imperial doctor comes, the nobleman of Guan should kneel there and recite the palace rules." Concubine Hua pointed to the bluestone slabs in the courtyard that were scalded by the sun.

Ling Rong paused for a moment, already understood Concubine Hua's plan in her heart, so she had no choice but to retreat to her seat and sit down without saying a word, but secretly gave Hu Po a wink, and Hu Po comprehended and quietly left Yikun Palace.

Zhen Huan knelt under the scorching sun with a pale face, reciting the palace rules word by word.Time passed by every minute and every second, Zhen Huan was already on the verge of collapse, but the imperial doctor did not come for a long time.

Soon, two quarters of an hour passed, and seeing that Zhen Huan was about to fail, the imperial physician came late, but she was accompanied by an unfamiliar court lady, and Songzhi was nowhere to be seen.Concubine Hua seemed to recognize the maid, and after she glanced coldly, she stopped talking and did not make things difficult on purpose, she just watched coldly and let the imperial physician diagnose Zhen Huan's pulse.

Zhen Huan's pulse was really unstable. Concubine Hua didn't want to harm Zhen Huan's child, so she let Zhen Huan go down the donkey and let everyone disperse, so the matter came to an end for the time being.
