An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 241 Companion Calculation

"Suddenly, Su Peisheng was stunned, but he immediately reacted and bowed and replied, "Yes!"

"The news of Concubine Zhen's death was completely suppressed by the Queen, and in order to prevent the Queen Mother from knowing in advance, she even arranged for people to seal off the entire Anlan Courtyard."

Even the servants who were originally sent to Concubine Zhen for selection were not allowed to take a single step out.

"Only after receiving the emperor's order did Yixiu take the sedan chair and go to Louyue Kaiyunguan. Zhuxi got the news and hurried out to greet her."

"Although I don't know the purpose of Yixiu's visit, I still knelt down and saluted without any flaws, and said respectfully: Your Majesty came suddenly, and the Queen Mother is worshiping Buddha at the moment, I am afraid she has no time to see you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Yixiu helped Jianqiu stand still, not caring about what Zhuxi said. Chuiyu gave him a glance. Go and report to the Queen Mother. The matter I came here today involves precious people."

This matter is of great importance, and I have no choice but to meet the Queen Mother and report in person.

"Yi Xiu's words gave Zhu Xi a bad feeling. Since Yi Xiu said so, it would be difficult for her to refuse."

"I dare not let the Queen wait outside for too long, so I can only turn my body to one side and bow my head. Yes, please wait in the inner hall, I will report it right away."

"Yi Xiu didn't say anything, just nodded and stepped into the door. Not long after she sat down, the tea hadn't even been served yet, but the Queen Mother came in."

"Yi Xiu stood up and knelt down to salute. I pay my respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother waved her hand and signaled Yi Xiu to stand up."

"The queen went to one side and sat down. When the precious lady had a miscarriage, the queen was unwilling to go out during the day. So now she has something to report about her?"

"Yi Xiu doesn't care about the sarcastic tone in the Queen Mother's words. Anyway, what I want to say today can completely undermine the other party's arrogance."

"Slightly retracting the mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, Yixiu spoke calmly, "Empress Dowager, the servants below just reported the matter to me. I thought that since it was your niece, I had no choice but to come and inform you."

I disturbed the Empress Dowager while she was worshipping Buddha and I want to atone for my sin.

"After finishing speaking, he straightened the hem of his clothes and continued without waiting for the empress dowager to speak; 'Empress dowager, Guirui was killed by Cuiyi and has passed away. The emperor has ordered to posthumously confer the title of Zhenpin on Guirui. Please accept my condolences, empress dowager."

"After Yixiu finished speaking, her eyes moved away from the Queen Mother's face and fell on the green bracelet on her wrist. The joy in her heart could not be stopped."

Uya clan, Uya Zhenyun, the Queen Mother, is a person with evil ambitions. It is time for her to restrain herself today.

"Yi Xiu's face was calm, but the Queen Mother's heart was like a hurricane. What did you say? Who killed her?"

"You heard it right, Queen Mother. It was Cui Yi. Huang Guiquan and his servants discovered this when they went to Anlan Courtyard."

The Queen Mother's hands on the table were trembling slightly. For the first time, she felt that she could not see through Yixiu in front of her.

"In the past, whether it was Chun Yuan's death or the lives lost in the palace, the Queen Mother never thought that Yi Xiu could escape from her control."

But the death of Concubine Zhen today made the Empress Dowager feel that she could no longer control Yixiu.

"Cui Yi, she is just a slave, how dare she take the life of Concubine Zhen, Queen, you are just saying this to me, are you going to say the same thing to the Emperor?"

"The Queen Mother's words made Yixiu's lips curl again. I thank the Queen Mother for her concern, but the Queen Mother may not have heard what I said clearly. The Emperor made this decree to posthumously confer the title of Concubine Zhen on Zhengui. It was after the Emperor heard about this that Concubine Lingxi had just lost her life due to a miscarriage."

The Queen Mother was stunned by Yixiu's words, and she understood what Yixiu meant.

"The emperor didn't care about Concubine Zhen's death at all. The empress dowager only felt her fingertips were a little cold."

"Yi Xiu's loss of control seems to mean that this harem is no longer a harem that she, Wu Ya, can control."

"After Yixiu finished speaking, there was silence in the hall for a long time. The empress dowager's voice with a little pressure sounded, "I know about this matter. Naturally, the emperor has an order, so we will do it according to the emperor's order."

"I haven't finished worshipping Buddha yet, Queen, please go back! The Queen Mother suddenly changed her mind, Yixiu naturally knew what she meant."

She stood up with the help of the table and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave now."

After Yixiu left, the Queen Mother took a sip of tea, but she couldn't stop her unstable breathing. Seeing this, Sun Zhuxi hurried forward to support the Queen Mother...

Zhuxi, tell me, was it wrong for me to follow the advice of my clansmen and let Zhenyun enter the palace?

"The emperor does not want Uya's daughter to enter the palace. I know this. During the first selection, I severely rejected the family."

But the second draft...how could I have gone crazy and agreed to this?

"Do you remember when the emperor last came to pay his respects to me?"

"The Queen Mother seemed to be regretting her actions at the time."

"But things have come to this point. The little affection between mother and son has been almost exhausted. What's the point of saying more?"

Sun Zhuxi sighed softly, "Empress Dowager, now that Concubine Zhen is gone, the Emperor will probably not feel as disgusted as before..."

The Queen Mother's gaze fell straight on the ground in front of her. She thought silently for a long time, but suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Zhu Xi, the emperor is afraid of him. If I can help him get rid of a major threat, perhaps the relationship between him and me as mother and son can be restored one day?"

The Queen Mother's words made Zhu Xi stunned. The Queen Mother...

"He said before that he would exchange his own life for his sister's peace for the rest of her life. Although I have been dissatisfied with Tong Jia for a long time, I am the one sitting on the throne of Queen Mother now."

"As noble as Tong Jia is, she is now only the Imperial Concubine of the previous emperor. So what if he is allowed to do so?"

"The more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became. She exhaled heavily and continued, "Nowadays, the rules in the garden are no different from those in Zijing City. Zhuxi, tell the outsiders outside the palace that I want to see him."

Queen Mother…………

Sun Zhuxi's voice was a little hesitant, as if he still felt that the Queen Mother's action was inappropriate.

"But after the death of Concubine Zhen today, the Emperor's treatment made the Empress Dowager see clearly her own mistakes. She also understood that the entry of the Uya family's daughter into the palace was the problem that caused the relationship between her and her son to become completely strained."

If I can solve this problem, I will do it without hesitation.

"Don't hesitate. I just hope that after I get this done, the emperor can see clearly that I have never had any inappropriate thoughts."

Sun Zhuxi had no choice but to kneel down and accept the Queen Mother's decision.

Hall of Qinzheng

The matter of the imperial examination was settled, and the emperor became somewhat interested. After dinner, he asked someone to summon Concubine Qin to accompany him.

"Qin Chang has been in my belly for three months now. She has been walking around more often and her complexion looks much rosier now."

"A plate of icy lychees was placed between the two of them. Qin Changzai took off her armor, carefully peeled one, and placed it on the table to give to the emperor."

"I've heard that these lychees are hard to come by. They were sent all the way from Fujian to the palace at full speed, but it took a lot of manpower. Your Majesty, please try them."

But the emperor waved his hand and said, "A lot of it was used in Concubine Shu's palace yesterday. If you like, you can use more."

After hearing this, Qin Chang paused, took back the peeled lychees in her hand and placed them on a white porcelain plate.

"I just thought that the Concubine Shu is favored by the Emperor, and she has the princes and princesses around. Good things like this should be kept in the palace of the Concubine Shu!"

"The emperor didn't even raise his head, he was still buried in the book in his hand. After listening, he said, "Yes, children are always more delicate. You should take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to a child in the future. I will like it just the same."

"The emperor's words made Qin Changzai very happy. She lowered her head and touched her belly, smiling and said, 'Your Majesty loves children, and I am looking forward to it too!'"

"Guo Luosu Peisheng bowed and came in. Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Tingyu asked to see you. He said he had something urgent to report."

The emperor closed the book in his hand, put it on the table, and asked him to wait in the side hall.

Qin Changzai was watching from the side, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, she said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late and I should go back."

Well, go ahead!

The emperor was very satisfied with Qin Changzai's cleverness. He nodded, and Su Peisheng brought Qin Changzai a sedan chair.

emperor!

"Qin Changzai stood up. The emperor had people light up lights in various places in the garden. I also wanted to see the night view of the courtyard on my way back, so there was no need for Eunuch Su to call for a sedan chair."

"The emperor reached out and pinched Concubine Qin's shoulder. This is fine, but you are pregnant now, so you must be careful with your steps."

Yes, your concubine will see the emperor off.

"The emperor left the house with Qin Changzai's respectful farewell. Qin Changzai turned around to look at the peeled lychees on the table, picked them up and put them in her mouth. She raised her hand and said, "Mingyan, let's go."

The master and servant left the Qinzheng Hall.

"Qin Chang held a famous cigarette in one hand and fanned himself with the other. He looked up and said: "It is indeed approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon looks much rounder."

"Mingyan also looked up and stood up. The young lady is right. Now that the young lady is pregnant, she will surely be as bright as a pearl in the future, just like the full moon today."

"Qin Chang had an unconcealable smile on her lips. You, girl, are becoming more and more talkative now. It's a pity that you are still young. I just hope to give birth to a prince, so that I can have a future."

"Ming Yan felt a little alert after hearing what Qin Changzai said. He turned around and looked around. Only after he was sure that there was no one else around did he breathe a sigh of relief."

"But when Qin Changzai saw Mingyan like this, she smiled and squeezed his hand. It's already dark now. Could it be that someone is following you and me on purpose?"

"And even if I want to have a son, there's nothing wrong with that. Why do you have to be so afraid of what others will say?"

"After hearing this, Mingyan became bolder. The young lady is right. If I were to say, you are lucky. No matter how noble Zhenpin thought of herself, she passed away early."

"Humph, when she was pregnant, she never looked anyone in the eye, and she either beat or scolded the servants under her. This is retribution, as she was first miscarried by Guarjia."

"Then she was killed by her personal maid. Wasn't it her own fault?"

"Qin Chang lowered her head and touched her belly which had not yet bulged. Forget it. Why bring up this unlucky person for no reason?"

Mingyan nodded repeatedly. Young Master is right. Now I only hope that Young Master can give birth to the little prince safely. I don’t care about anything else.”

"Qin Changzai's face was still smiling. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped, tightened his hands and lowered his voice, "Mingyan, do you see anyone over there?"

"Mingyan looked in the direction Qin Chang pointed, and sure enough, he saw two dark figures walking forward in the dark where the lights were at the end of the road ahead."

"My lady, maybe they are eunuchs or maids from some palace. We don't need to care about them. Let's go back quickly!"

"Constant Qin frowned for a moment and shook her head. That's not right. If they were just ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, why wouldn't they be holding lanterns? These two people are sneaking around, I'm afraid they might be doing something that no one can see!"

"Mingyan's expression tightened. My lady, if that's the case, we can't follow them. If we see something shameful, we'll get into trouble."

"What are you afraid of? We are in the courtyard. Besides the concubines, there are only the palace maids and eunuchs. They might be doing something sneaky!"

"I'm just curious. Let's follow and see who is so bold. Qin Changzai looked more and more excited as he spoke. He took a cigarette and said, "Quick, put out the lanterns and let's follow and see."

"Mingyan, but the master, can only respond and extinguish the lantern, support Qin Changzai, and tiptoe to the two people in front."

Ru Gu Han Jin

"The children are all in Xianyue Pavilion. An Lingrong asked Lian'er to move a stool. Both the master and the servant lowered their heads and were busy embroidering new clothes for Hongzhao to wear for his birthday in a few days."

When I looked up, I saw Qiufang coming in.

"An Lingrong raised her hand and rubbed the needle in her hair, then asked, "Are the children asleep?"

"Qiu Fang stepped forward and bowed, smiling and replied, 'Your Majesty, the two little princes worked hard on calligraphy today and went to bed early. But it was our Eighth Prince who was coaxed by the Concubine for a long time before he was willing to go to bed.'"

This kid is now becoming more and more like Hongzhao, which is really annoying.

They are all the Empress’ children, so brothers naturally look alike.

"Qiufang responded again, and the smile on her face faded a little; Your Majesty, Yan Gui just sent a message that Aunt Zhuxi, who is beside the Empress Dowager, quietly led Lord Longkodo into the garden?"

"An Lingrong paused abruptly and almost pricked her finger, but Qiufang's voice did not stop."

"Your Majesty, Aunt Zhuxi and Lord Longkodo were accidentally spotted by Qin Changzai and his servants. They are now quietly following Aunt Zhuxi."

"An Lingrong doesn't know what the Queen Mother is doing today or what she intends to do! But thinking of the death of Longkodo in her previous life, she can probably guess a little."

"But no matter what the Queen Mother wants to do today, it must not be known by the people in the harem."

Qin Changzai...

I don’t know what the situation will be like after today.

"Qin Chang followed carefully after the master and servant turned off the lights. It took almost a cup of tea before she finally slowed down."

"However, along the way, Mingyan tried to persuade Qin Changzai several times, but he couldn't get her to return the favor. Now that he saw the person in front of him, he finally stopped."

"Ming Yan hurriedly said: "My lady, it's so dark here, why don't we go back first and let others take a look?"

"Tsk, when did you become so timid? We are in the garden, so what if they find us? They should be the ones who are afraid."

"Stop talking, they're going in," Qin Changzai growled in a muffled voice, pulling Mingyan behind a tree, but his eyes were fixed on a door not far away.

"I saw that only one person went in, and there was another person guarding outside. I immediately realized that something was wrong. Weren't they having a secret meeting? Why was there still one person left outside?"
