The Legend of Zhen Huan: Year after year, we share the spring breeze

Chapter 476 Complexity

After Yongzheng left, everyone left Changchun Palace one after another. The palace suddenly became quiet, with only An Lingrong and Mu Jingqiu left.

An Lingrong walked forward slowly, a cold smile on her lips, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife as she stared at Mu Jingqiu: "Sister Shunpin, I am waiting for you!"

Mu Jingqiu was not afraid at all. He met her gaze with a smile on his face. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"

The two people's eyes met in the air, and it seemed as if invisible sparks were flying.

An Lingrong said no more and turned to walk outside.

The rain has stopped, and the setting sun is struggling to peek out from the thick clouds, casting its last weak ray of light on the earth. The edges of the clouds are dyed with a light golden red, and the accumulated water on the ground reflects this weak light, creating spots of light.

In the yard, Zhen Huan stood aside, and Shen Meizhuang was talking to Sun Heyin.

Seeing her come out, several people walked out together.

An Lingrong reached out and grabbed Sun Heyin's wrist, and asked with concern, "Does it still hurt?"

Sun Heyin shook her head and said softly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

An Lingrong frowned, a trace of heartache flashing in her eyes. "When we get back later, we must apply the medicine properly. We can't be careless. What if there are any scars left?"

She put her other hand on Sun Heyin's back, wanting to rub her, but afraid of hurting her.

Shen Meizhuang said, "I'll have someone send the medicine over later. Do you want to see a doctor?"

Sun Heyin replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Don't bother me. I still have some medicine in my palace. You can take care of it yourself."

Shen Meizhuang nodded. Knowing that Sun Heyin was sensitive, she didn't force it any further. She just said, "If you need anything, just ask. Don't be polite."

Zhen Huan also said, "Sister Sun, I'm very grateful that you protected Rong'er today. Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt in vain."

Sun Heyin said calmly, "I am protecting Concubine Wen, so there is no need for the Imperial Concubine to thank me!"

The words were a bit harsh, but Zhen Huan didn't get angry. She asked, "Rong'er, what happened today? From the look on your face just now, it seemed like you were hiding something, and I didn't dare to rashly ask the Emperor to investigate thoroughly."

An Lingrong then recounted in detail what had happened in the pavilion today. Frowning slightly, she whispered, "I've always felt something was amiss, so I didn't expose her in front of the Emperor. I wanted to see what she would do next."

Zhen Huan nodded slightly after hearing this. "You're right. Mu Jingqiu is a meticulous and methodical person. He would never do something like this without a reason. It seems we need to be more careful!"

"it is good!"

Sun Heyin opened her mouth and wanted to tell her that Mu Jingqiu could not keep the dragon fetus, but seeing Zhen Huan beside her, she thought about it and did not say it out loud.

If they asked her why she knew, she would have no way to explain.

When they were almost at Yonghe Palace, An Lingrong suddenly stopped, as if she had remembered something important. She turned to look at Shen Meizhuang and said, "Sister, the Emperor has confined me to the Yanxi Palace or the Yonghe Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Meizhuang sighed softly: "You are the mistress of Yanxi Palace, so naturally you are confined to Yanxi Palace."

An Lingrong curled her lips, seemingly unconcerned about the house arrest. Instead, she said with a smile, "Oh, that's fine. Don't forget to have someone bring food to Ah Yin and me!"

Sun Heyin's behavior today touched her heart deeply, and she naturally changed the name to this intimate one.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but shake her head and laugh after hearing this, with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "It's already this time, and you're still thinking about eating! You're really careless."

An Lingrong blinked and said seriously, "Of course this is a big deal! I'm under house arrest, but I can't skip meals, right?"

Shen Meizhuang smiled helplessly and nodded, "Okay, okay, I understand. Luckily, Ah Yin is in Yanxi Palace. I can go over there on the pretext of visiting her and bring you food. Is that okay?"

Hearing the two of them calling her so intimately, Sun Heyin was stunned at first, and then a warm feeling surged in her heart.

An Lingrong took her hand and said with a smile, "Although I'm under house arrest, with you here, life won't be too boring."

Concubines under house arrest were not allowed to see outsiders, but people living in the same palace could go over and chat with them when they had their meals delivered.

Sun Heyin nodded slightly.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang escorted An Lingrong all the way to the main hall of the Yanx Palace. As soon as they stepped into the hall, they saw several imperial guards quickly come forward, close the door, and stand guard at the door with expressionless faces and cold eyes.

Only then did Shen Meizhuang truly feel the weight of separation. Standing outside the door, she felt a sense of emptiness, a wave of bitter emotions welling up inside her. Although she tried to control herself, she still felt her eyes burning, tears threatening to burst out.

Zhen Huan noticed her strangeness and gently held her hand.

The two stood side by side, looking at the closed carved wooden door of the main hall of the Yanxi Palace.

Suddenly, a window on one side was pushed open.

An Lingrong half-knelt on the couch, leaning against the window frame and leaning half of her body out, with a playful smile on her face and her eyes curved into crescents: "Sister, Sister Zhen, I guessed you guys haven't left yet!"

The guards standing outside the door looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time they saw the empress climbing through the window, and they looked at each other, asking whether they should stop her.

Seeing this, Xiao Shi quickly took out a purse, walked up to the captain of the guards with a smile, and whispered a few words to him.

The captain was also a man who knew the current situation. Seeing that the two most senior ladies in the palace were here, he did not want to offend them, so he turned his eyes away and pretended not to see it.

Shen Meizhuang on the other side was stunned for a moment, then she could no longer hold back, she walked a few steps to the window, hugged her head, her voice choked with sobs and unable to speak.

An Lingrong wrapped her arms around her waist, resting her cheek lightly on her shoulder. She nuzzled her neck affectionately, her voice soft and sticky, "Sister, it's okay. A month will pass quickly. Just treat it as a month of quiet time for yourself, okay?"

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang's sour mood eased a little, but she still held her tightly and refused to let go.

Zhen Huan stood aside, watching the two of them being so affectionate, and said softly, "Rong'er, don't worry. I won't leave you bored here for a month. I'll go and ask the Emperor for help in a few days. You must take good care of yourself these days. Sister Mei and I will come to visit you often. If you need anything, just send someone to tell you."

An Lingrong raised her head from Shen Meizhuang's embrace and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Zhen, I won't treat myself badly. But you guys, don't worry too much about me, especially Sister, don't tire yourself out."

Sun Heyin took a few steps forward and came to Shen Meizhuang's side, saying softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of Your Majesty."

Shen Meizhuang turned to look at Sun Heyin, her eyes full of gratitude: "With you here, I feel much more at ease."
