After returning to the Yanxi Palace, Xia Dongchun sat at the table and took a big gulp of tea.

"Who the hell is Yu Ying'er? How dare she be so arrogant?" Xia Dongchun was angry but also worried that some words could not be heard by others, so he had to suppress his anger and lower his voice.

"Shen Meizhuang is good-tempered and willing to give way to her, but I'm not Shen Meizhuang. I'm not that easy to bully!" Xia Dongchun rolled her eyes and curled her lips.

"My lady, don't be angry. Let her be proud for a few more days." Yun Ling knew Yu Ying'er's final fate, so she was not in a hurry at all. "If you steal someone's things, you have to return them."

"Eh?" Xia Dongchun was stunned when he heard this, and vaguely realized something, "What does this mean?"

Yun Ling walked to the door of the house, made sure that there was no one else there, and closed the door before coming in and walking to Xia Dongchun's side. She squatted down and looked up at her.

"My lady, do you know why I am favored?" Yun Ling met Xia Dongchun's gaze seriously.

"Didn't she just meet the emperor in Yime Garden on New Year's Eve? What's there to be proud of?" Xia Dongchun twisted the handkerchief with her fingers and bit her lip, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

“But the person who leaned against the plum garden on New Year’s Eve and recited the words ‘If the north wind understands my feelings, please don’t destroy me so easily’ was not Yu Da Ying.” Yun Ling’s words were like a bolt from the blue, and Xia Dongchun didn’t know how to react for a moment.

"You...what do you mean?" Xia Dongchun couldn't believe what he heard. If Yun Ling's words were true, then wouldn't Yu Ying'er have impersonated someone else's favor and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?

Everyone in the palace knew that Yu Da Ying won the emperor's heart because she met him in Yime Garden on New Year's Eve and said, "If the north wind understands my feelings, please don't destroy me so easily."

But now Yun Ling said that the person who said this that night was not Yu Ying'er at all? !

"In the previous life, Yu promised to commit suicide after being found out by the emperor for deceiving the emperor." Yun Ling recalled the events of the previous life bit by bit, and told Xia Dongchun as much as possible. "It was because she impersonated Wan Changzai!"

"So what you mean is... the person who met the emperor in Yime Garden on New Year's Eve was Zhen Huan?" Xia Dongchun exclaimed, covering her lips.

"That's right." Yun Ling replied, "Originally, Wan Changzai didn't intend to expose her, but Yu promised that she was not disciplined and acted arrogantly. She was caught by the emperor in the imperial garden making things difficult for Wan Changzai. Later, after she lost the emperor's favor, she bore a grudge against Wan Changzai and ordered someone to poison Wan Changzai. This was then exposed by Wan Changzai and the emperor sentenced her to death."

Xia Dongchun sorted out Yun Ling's words and had a general idea of ​​the cause and effect of the matter. Then he asked curiously, "But Yun Ling, weren't you in the Ministry of Punishment at this time in your previous life? How do you know so much?"

Xia Dongchun didn't doubt Yun Ling, she was just very worried. After she was punished by Concubine Hua in her previous life, Yun Ling also suffered bad luck. When she thought about it now, she felt very sorry for Yun Ling. If Yun Ling had followed a good master in her previous life, or if she had not offended Concubine Hua, Yun Ling might not have ended up like that.

Yun Ling seemed to know what she was thinking, and a smile rose on her face: "My lady, you don't have to feel guilty towards me. Although I was sent to the Ministry of Punishment in my previous life, fortunately, there was a maid in the Ministry of Punishment who said that I looked like her daughter. She was very kind to me and took good care of me. Because of this, I learned a lot of news in the Ministry of Punishment, and was later transferred out of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yun Ling..." Xia Dongchun was very moved. He held Yun Ling's hand, pulled her up, and sat beside him. He almost looked at her with tears in his eyes. "Don't worry, since we have a chance to start over, I will definitely lead you to a good life, and I will never let anyone bully you again!"

"Yeah!" Yun Ling nodded heavily. She trusted Xia Dongchun very much.

......

After Yinzhen had dinner in Jingren Palace, he sat and talked with the empress. At this time, Eunuch Xu from the Jingshifang came with a green card and asked Yinzhen to turn over the card.

The queen then mentioned the people who had not yet served him in bed: "Your Majesty, there are still several concubines in the palace who have not yet served you in bed."

Yinzhen paused as he was about to turn over the cards: "Hmm? Concubine Wan is ill, Concubine Borjigit is also ill, Concubine Chun is still young and doesn't know much about human affairs... Besides this, who else is there?"

The Queen guessed that Yinzhen would not remember An Lingrong, so she reminded him, "There is another An who promised."

Yinzhen's eyes fell on An Lingrong's green card. After thinking for a moment, he flipped the card and said, "Then it's her."

The Queen and Yinzhen smiled at each other.

An Lingrong came back from Shen Meizhuang's stay in Xianfu Palace. As soon as she entered the house, Baojuan stopped her and said, "My lady, where have you been? It will be easy for me to find you."

An Lingrong looked at the delighted expression on Baojuan's face, not knowing what had happened: "I went to Concubine Shen's place."

As she spoke, An Lingrong picked up the teacup and prepared to drink water. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the jade cups on the table and asked in confusion, "Didn't the flower house say that they don't have flowers as precious as the jade cups?"

Bao Juan was delighted: "My lady, today is your lucky day. The Emperor has turned over your name card!"

"What?" An Lingrong almost thought she had heard it wrong, and the teacup in her hand fell over.

"My lady, please get ready quickly. The Fengluan Chun'en car will come to pick you up later!" Baojuan said with a smile as she looked at An Lingrong.

An Lingrong finally realized the reality: "I...did the emperor really turn over my name card? I thought the emperor just ignored me."

"How could that be? The emperor was just busy with state affairs recently."

An Lingrong also smiled.

But while An Lingrong was delighted, she was also vaguely afraid in her heart. After all, it was her first time to sleep with the emperor. Even though the nanny had taught her before, she still couldn't help feeling nervous and afraid.

So much so that when she was lying on the bed in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, her whole body was shaking violently.

After reviewing the memorials, Yinzhen took a bath, changed his clothes, and walked into the bedroom.

Approaching the bed, Yinzhen saw that she was shaking violently. Although he was a little annoyed, he still said patiently, "Why are you shaking so violently? Didn't Madam teach you the rules of sleeping with me?"

To be fair, Yinzhen really felt that his tone was not harsh and he was quite patient. Otherwise, when he saw An Lingrong trembling like that, he would not have said anything at all, but would have directly asked Su Peisheng to carry the person back.

"I...I..." An Lingrong was already scared, and when asked by Yinzhen, she was even more speechless.

"I don't like to force things." Yinzhen threw back the corner of the quilt and turned to call Su Peisheng in, "Su Peisheng! Carry it back!"

The moment she heard these words, An Lingrong felt as if the sky had fallen.
