Chapter 37. Taking sides

"Then my father..." An Lingrong suddenly remembered this incident. In his previous life, his father was imprisoned for this.

Shen Meizhuang quickly comforted her: "Don't worry. Uncle An is loyal and brave, and he sticks to the military rations and silver wages. In order to reward him, the emperor has asked him to take over Jiang Wenqing's position. But Uncle An was injured and is currently stationed in Jeju. The matter will be handled by my father. I have written a letter home, telling my father to take good care of Uncle An. You can rest assured."

An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief.

Destiny has shifted, and in the end, both father and daughter took different paths.

In his previous life, An Bihuai was implicated and imprisoned. Although the crime did not lead to death, he was still suspected of dereliction of duty. Shen Meizhuang avoided talking about it at that time. As a last resort, Zhen Huan took An Lingrong to the queen and pleaded for mercy several times. Let the emperor issue an order to retry the case.

It was precisely because of this incident that Zhen Huan pulled An Lingrong to completely join the queen's camp, and she later had the sharp sword to bring down Concubine Hua.

In this life, before An Lingrong could speak, things had already been arranged, and Shen Meizhuang also took the initiative to write a letter home to look after An Bihuai. Those who have merit and fault are treated differently.

An Lingrong raised her hand and took Zhen Huan's hand: "I have something to ask my sister."

"Say." Zhen Huan leaned closer to An Lingrong, and Shen Meizhuang also came closer.

"What happened yesterday was originally caused by Xia Changzai, but it happened to me by mistake. Have the two sisters thought about it carefully? If this happened to Xia Changzai, what would be the result?" An Ling Rong spoke very slowly, "Firstly, Xia Changzai will have a hemorrhage and miscarriage because of this. Secondly, I will also be reprimanded by the emperor for improper care. Thirdly, since the emperor is involved in the matter, no one will doubt them. In fact, It’s a way to kill three birds with one stone.”

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other and saw fright in each other's eyes.

"I really don't dare to let Xia Changzai live in my palace anymore. Please trouble my sister to think of something." An Lingrong said again, "She is pregnant with the emperor's child. Naturally, I don't want anything to happen to her. The whole palace can The only one who can resist Concubine Hua is the Empress. I thought, it would be better for Xia Changzai to move to the Empress and have the Empress take care of her personally, and maybe the dragon fetus can be safely landed."

Shen Meizhuang nodded naturally: "Yes, Concubine Hua is so cruel and ruthless, and only the Empress can protect Xia Chang."

"Okay, I'll go talk to the Queen." Zhen Huan nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll go talk to the emperor about this." Shen Meizhuang also said, "This can only be done if the empress agrees and the emperor agrees."

An Lingrong raised a smile with great difficulty and suppressed the deep meaning in his eyes.

It is not easy to give birth to a child in the palace. Looking at it, the fourth elder brother is raised in the Old Summer Palace and no one cares about it. The fifth elder brother has an old illness. Only the third elder brother is raised in the palace. The only one left is Cao Cao. The nobles and Xin Changzai are just princesses. Before they entered the palace, Xin Changzai had just been born in Xiaoyue, and Fang Guiren, who once lived in Suiyuxuan, was also thrown into the cold palace after miscarriage. It can be seen how difficult it is for the emperor's heirs today.

An Lingrong couldn't bear it. Even though Xia Dongchun had separated from her, she still hoped that Xia Dongchun could give birth to the child safely - only the queen's personal care could give the child a chance of survival.

"As the master of the harem, I am also a sister serving the emperor like you. When I can help, I will naturally help." After listening to Zhen Huan's words, the queen said pointedly, "It's just that I

The palace is not in good health, and there are so many things in the palace now. If Xia Changzai were to be taken care of by me personally, I am afraid that I would be too exhausted to do so."

"The Queen Mother's words really make me feel ashamed." Zhen Huan said calmly, "The Queen Mother is the mother of all the people in the world. She is the Queen Mother of all the children in the palace. The child in Xia Chang's belly is also the Queen Mother's child.

After all, Rong Guiren has never given birth, and he is not as good as the Queen. If the Queen loves you, Xia Changzai will definitely be safe and sound."

The queen showed a smile: "Your Majesty Wan is still so lovable when you talk. However, Xia Changzai is already arrogant and has always been trained by me. Now that she is pregnant, it would be too difficult for your Majesty to take care of her.

Jianqiu, go and clear out the Luoying Pavilion next to her, and let Xia Changzai move in later." At the end, he added, "This time Rong Guiren has suffered a serious crime, you have to comfort her."

"Your Majesty is so caring, I feel the same way." Zhen Huan saw that the Queen was relieved and said hurriedly, "I don't know how to repay the Queen's kindness." The Queen was different from the three sisters. After receiving her favor, she naturally wanted to do something.

exchanged.

On this point, An Lingrong also gave Zhen Huan a hint before leaving the house.

The queen sighed: "There are frequent turmoils in the harem, and I am not in good health, so I am really tired of dealing with it. Your Majesty Wan is considerate, and if you can know what my heart is, you can naturally share your labor and relieve my worries." She

He smiled and talked about the past again

, "I still remember that you came to pay my respects to me the day you first accepted my favor, and Rong Guiren came right after. Speaking of which, you two sisters really have a good understanding of each other, and I like you very much in everything you say and do." Queen.

He raised his eyes to indicate the autumn cut.

Jianqiu understood immediately and brought the incense burner aside. The Queen talked about burning incense in a non-stop manner: "Look, in such a hot weather, the dead ashes in this incense burner have rekindled. If it happens again like yesterday,

How can it be good if you hurt others late at night?"

Zhen Huan's eyes flashed, she stood up, walked to the queen with a teacup, knelt down, raised her hand and poured the tea into the incense burner, and replied: "I am in the harem, and relying on the queen's grace, I can be the queen's wife."

It is the duty of ministers and concubines to share worries and relieve labor. As the saying goes, a wise man works hard, but a humble concubine can only repay the queen with her hard work."

"Okay, I really did not disappoint you." The queen showed a satisfied smile, "You and Rong Gui are like sisters, and now we are of the same mind. You will definitely be able to go a long way in the future."

Zhen Huan contacted Concubine Hua and suddenly understood An Lingrong's intention. Now that Concubine Hua had blatantly attacked them, there was no guarantee that the next one would not be her or Shen Meizhuang. An Lingrong said that the only one in the palace who could compete with Concubine Hua was the Queen, and they must

Only by being on the same page with the Queen can you have the capital to confront Concubine Hua. No matter how hard you want to take sides, you have to take sides.

Zhen Huan took advantage of the victory and pursued her, and said: "The moon was sparse, the magpie flew south, and circled the tree three times, until finally there was a branch to rely on."

"Actually, there has always been only one tree in this harem, but the flowers are becoming more and more charming." The queen stood up, holding Jian Qiu's hand, and stretched out her hand to help Zhen Huan up, "As long as you can see clearly, which tree is the tree?"

Tree, whichever one is a flower will be fine."

Zhen Huan leaned over and saluted: "Thank you, Queen, for your advice. I will keep it in mind."

On the other hand, Shen Meizhuang also persuaded the emperor, and immediately issued an order to move Xia Dongchun to the Queen's Taohuawu residence, and the Queen would take care of it personally.

Xinghua Village became quiet again for a while.

An Lingrong regained some strength, sat on the bedside and drank the medicine spoon by spoon: "Have you finished moving?"

"The people that Aunt Jianqiu brought over in person were all very quick and tidy up quickly." Kao Kao said, "The little master didn't see that the way Xia Chang saw Aunt Jianqiu was like a mouse meeting a cat. She was like a baby, not even daring to take a breath. I heard that I called my aunt, who was always there that day, to come back and personally take care of her daily life."

"Her life will be difficult in the future." Dill said with a slight smile.

After An Lingrong drank the medicine, she felt a little sad: "Isn't it difficult? Once she gives birth to the child, everything will be fine. I'm just afraid..." She didn't say any more.

An Lingrong found that recipe strange when he used it in his previous life. Since the queen had such a strange recipe in her hand, why didn't she take it herself to conceive a legitimate son, but kept it in her hand for her to use? The only thing? The explanation is that there will be irreversible damage after taking this prescription.

Either the child cannot be kept, or the adults cannot be kept.

An Lingrong raised her head and looked out the window. The night was getting darker, and just like her heart, she was sinking into the abyss.

But the Qingliang Hall was not so quiet.

Concubine Hua glared at Cao Guiren, wishing to eat her alive. She snatched the fan from the hand of the palace maid next to her and threw it at her. She couldn't stop her anger: "Back then, you were just a beautiful girl from a poor family. The sign was sent to the palace, and even the emperor couldn't see it. If I hadn't promoted you to serve the emperor, how would you have had the chance to give birth to a princess and become a nobleman!"

Cao Guiren couldn't help but tremble for a moment when his old story was revealed, but he still endured the shame and comforted Concubine Hua: "It's hot in the summer, and it's inevitable that the empress will feel angry. As long as the empress can calm down, I'm willing to accept all punishments."

"Huh, punishment?" Concubine Hua sneered, "What's the use of me punishing you? You said it, that romantic fragrance can make Xia family anxious, and can also make the emperor involuntarily move when he goes to see her. , at that time, Xia not only had a miscarriage, but also had lifelong infertility. As a result, the incense was used on An Lingrong, and the emperor actually risked his own life for her. You made a random idea and caused a big disaster, and You can say this in front of me."

Concubine Hua felt sorry for the emperor's damage to the dragon's body, and was even more angry that the emperor valued An Lingrong so much.

Cao Guiren was too shy to speak.

She really didn't expect that Xia Changzai would give such valuable incense in the pear tent to An Lingrong. She also didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that she picked the ylang-ylang flower and gave it to her. It was so sudden. , it was difficult for her to control it. Cao Guiren could only bite the bullet and said: "Perhaps Xia Chang heard something and deliberately transferred the things to Rong Guiren?"

"Humph, she has that brain." Concubine Hua sneered, but the successive setbacks made her a little powerless. "Whether it is true or not, now that she has entered the Queen's Palace, it will be difficult to do anything again. After all, the days are still long. Take your time, Hui Guiren," Concubine Hua looked at Cao Guiren with a cold tone, "If you still fail this time, I will reconsider your value."

Cao Guiren was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe: "Yes."

In the Qinzheng Hall, the emperor had finished handling the government affairs and was taking a nap with his eyes closed, but he was listening to Su Peisheng's report back and forth.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Jiang came back and said that Rong Guiren's health has improved a lot, but after all, the Yin Yuan has been lost and needs to be recuperated according to the prescription for about half a month. During this period, he can no longer sleep." Su Peisheng's original words were conveyed.

The emperor hummed softly, and couldn't help but think of the scenes last night, and suddenly felt his blood boiling again.

He and An Lingrong have always been in perfect agreement when it comes to bed matters, but last night's overindulgence made him feel a bit uneasy. He had never seen An Lingrong look so gorgeous and charming.

, when the medicine took effect, she clung to him, no matter how hard he tried, she couldn't get away. For a while, she almost died on her body, but the feeling it brought was unparalleled.

In the whole palace, I'm afraid no one can compare with him.

The emperor gently twirled his fingers, and there was a sudden burst of gas in his eyes. Thinking of those watery eyes, he couldn't suppress them no matter how hard he suppressed them.

Nearby, I went to Concubine Hua’s Qingliang Hall.

At the same time, Jianqiu took one person to Zhen Huan's Bitong Academy.

"The Empress said that now Wan Gui has only Liu Zhu to serve him, which is not enough. The other maids are not very smart and are not qualified to serve the young master closely, so she specially asked the servant to choose a good one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and send it over.

" Jian Qiu introduced her to Zhen Huan and said with a smile, "She has been in the palace for a long time. She works steadily and is loyal. I think she will be much more useful than the previous one."

The man, dressed in emerald palace attire, slowly walked forward and saluted Zhen Huan: "My maid, Baojuan, I have met Mr. Wan Gui."

Dear babies, happy Children’s Day! I received a reward last month, so I’ll add another one today!
