Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

Although this matter was blamed on Baojuan, the punishment on An Lingrong was not withdrawn, but it was slightly reduced at the Queen's plea.

After bringing Baoying to An Lingrong, Jianqiu returned to report to the Queen.

Baoying looked at An Lingrong timidly and bowed: "This servant greets the young lady."

An Lingrong was feeling frustrated at the moment, but she had to cheer herself up. After all, Baojuan, whom she trusted the most, was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and there was no one else around her who could be used.

Baoque didn't quite dare to believe it, but she thought that maybe Baoying could take Baojuan's place if she was trained well.

Thinking of this, An Lingrong held Baoying's hand and said, "Baoying, are you doing well? In the past, I was incompetent and couldn't even protect the people around me, so you were sent to the Ministry of Punishment by Fu Cha Ying. Now that Fu Cha Ying has lost power, I was finally able to ask the Queen to take you out of the Ministry of Punishment. You have suffered so much."

Baoying's eyes immediately turned red, and she shook her head repeatedly: "I am not miserable, as long as the young master still remembers me, I am not miserable. I thought...I thought the young master had forgotten me a long time ago, and was going to forget me in the Ministry of Punishment for the rest of my life."

An Lingrong lowered her eyes to hide the disdain in her eyes, and continued: "How could that be? It's just that I am insignificant and my words have no influence, so I have never waited for a good opportunity. Now that I have a chance, won't I go and ask the Queen for help?"

Baoying knelt down and kowtowed to An Lingrong: "My lady, I have no way to repay your great kindness."

An Lingrong smiled with satisfaction, but quickly put it away when Baoying looked up: "Okay, get up quickly and change into clean clothes. I'm sorry to have to bear with you through all the hardships during this period of time."

"I am not afraid. I have heard from Aunt Jianqiu that you were wronged. You saved me from the Ministry of Punishment. I am willing to serve you at all costs and will find out who is behind this!" Baoying's eyes were red as she promised solemnly, "Aunt Jianqiu said that Concubine Zhao always likes to embarrass you. This incident happened in Concubine Zhao's palace. In my humble opinion, Concubine Zhao must be involved in this incident!"

An Lingrong's eyes flickered. She was naturally satisfied that Baoying thought this way, which saved her from further effort. It seemed that the Queen could not treat her as an abandoned pawn for the time being, otherwise she would not have let Jianqiu and Baoying say these things.

"Good Baoying," An Lingrong helped her up, "Even if this matter is really related to Concubine Zhao, you and I, the master and servant, can't do anything to her now. Moreover, there is no evidence for this matter. We can only swallow our anger."

On this side, there was a scene of deep affection between master and servant. On the other side, Yin Zhu hurried into the room and dismissed the others: "Madam, Bao Ying has been picked up and sent directly to An Da Ying by Jian Qiu."

"I know." Xia Dongchun held her daughter in her arms and smiled. "Don't worry. An Lingrong is not that stupid. She has a lot on her mind. Baoying has just been sent back. She will definitely not believe it easily."

But as long as An Lingrong has one of their people by her side, it’s enough.

It was as if she knew about An Lingrong's scar-healing glue and knew Prince Guo's... feelings towards Zhen Huan.

"My queen, it's time for the princess to take a nap." The wet nurse came in and reminded.

Xia Dongchun handed her daughter to the nurse, picked up the armor she had taken off and put on the table, and watched the nurse leave with the child before turning to Yin Zhu and saying, "We still have to keep an eye on Baoying. Although she has always hated An Lingrong, she is not someone who will always be with us. We never know when this person we have planted next to An Lingrong will turn against us and become a threat to us."

"Yes, I understand." Yin Zhu nodded, "Her family outside the palace, the queen's father has been sending people to secretly take care of them."

"As for An Lingrong, you don't have to worry about her for now. This incident happened in front of Concubine Cao. I think she is smart. It would be bad if she got suspicious." Xia Dongchun thought about it again and again, and finally explained, "Although Concubine Cao was used by Concubine Nian, and Concubine Nian hates Concubine Wan the most right now, she has a daughter. Before Lingyuan was born, Princess Wen Yi was the most beloved daughter of the emperor. But now this love and favor has been taken away by Lingyuan. Concubine Cao loves Wen Yi so much, doesn't she have any resentment in her heart?"

"This slave has taken note of it."

Within two days, An Lingrong received the news that Baojuan had died suddenly in the Ministry of Punishment, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

She could probably guess that there was definitely something fishy about Baojuan's sudden death, but at the moment Baojuan's death was the best thing for her, so she was only sad for two days, and then began to organize the silk threads again, silently waiting for the queen to rescue her.

……

It was the hottest time of the year, and even at night, it was still a bit stuffy. Yinzhen pinched his brows, and Su Peisheng immediately served him tea: "Your Majesty, have a cup of tea and take a break. You have been reading memorials for four or five hours today."

Yinzhen took the tea and took a sip, then looked at the contents of the memorial, feeling very upset.

The fight for the throne among the nine princes was so brutal back then, and now the tenth prince is starting to make moves and is not content. How can he not be worried?

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should take a rest. Your health is the most important thing." Su Peisheng advised.

"..." Yinzhen put down the teacup, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Wanpin...how is she doing these days?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is almost fully recovered, and Imperial Physician Wen also said that there is nothing serious. Your Majesty, are you going to... go to Bitong Academy tonight?" Su Peisheng asked tentatively.

Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Zhen Huan should be asleep at this hour, so he went to take a look.

"Then I will go and ask someone to prepare the sedan chair." Su Peisheng stepped out.

After going out, Su Peisheng ordered people to prepare a sedan chair, but he did not go back to the palace directly. Instead, he raised his hand and called a young eunuch, and whispered: "Go, tell Concubine Wan of Bitong Academy that the emperor wants to go to her place."

The young eunuch received the order, hurriedly responded, turned around and left quickly.

Su Peisheng then returned to the palace and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the sedan chair has been prepared."

Yinzhen stood up and walked out with Su Peisheng. Suddenly he remembered something and asked casually, "Is Concubine Nian...well behaved these days?"

Su Peisheng told the truth as he knew it: "I heard that since Concubine Nian came to the Old Summer Palace, she has seldom come out to walk around. Maybe she is listening to the emperor and is trying to calm down and cultivate her character."

Calm your mind and cultivate your character?

Yinzhen smiled, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
