Chapter 326 Surprise

"Your Majesty, there is still no news." Su Peisheng said as he knelt on the ground, not daring to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Chen is a lucky person and will definitely return safely." Su Peisheng said again, but his voice was trembling.

"Tell Xia Qian that if you can't find him tomorrow, bring his head to me!"

The emperor threw away the rosary in his hand after he finished speaking. In the past two days, he couldn't even focus on government affairs. He himself didn't expect that An Lingrong's disappearance would keep him awake every night...

When he thought that An Lingrong had left him just like Chun Yuan, his heart ached.

Over the years, An Lingrong had been by his side almost every day. In the study, there was her desk, on the bed, there was a soft pillow she had sewn herself, and even the incense in the palace was the one she had made herself according to the season...

"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen will definitely return safely. For the sake of Your Majesty and the child, she will definitely return safely, right?"

Fu Cha was already choking with sobs when she spoke. She didn't even dare to think, if An Lingrong was really gone, what would she and the three children do? !

"You go back first." The emperor waved his hand. Fu Cha didn't want to go back, but when he saw that the emperor had closed his eyes to rest, he had to leave.

After everyone left, the emperor opened his eyes, feeling extremely distressed. It had been two days, and falling off a cliff was already dangerous. There was no sign of the person or the body in two days, so he was afraid...

He didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't help thinking about it. His eyes became wet and tears fell...

In the evening, news came that Feng Chi had found An Lingrong. The emperor couldn't believe it for a moment. After confirming that it was true, he ordered a sedan chair and went to the palace gate to greet her in person.

"May the emperor be healthy and well." An Lingrong bowed to the emperor when she saw him. When the emperor saw An Lingrong standing there unharmed, his eyes turned red with excitement.

"Rong'er, are you okay?" The emperor said as he extended his hand towards An Lingrong.

"Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty for ordering General Feng to rescue me, I am fine." An Lingrong walked forward with a smile, handed over her hand, and smiled as gently as before.

"Your Majesty, I am here to pay my respects to you. I was injured and delayed my return to the palace. Please punish me!" Feng Chi saluted the emperor, who waved his hand.

"Get up. You have done a great job in saving Concubine Chen. I will reward you handsomely." The emperor spoke and Feng Chi thanked him again.

The emperor took An Lingrong away in a sedan chair. Feng Chi looked at the departing sedan chair for a long time before leaving.

Chengqian Palace.

The two children and Fu Cha were waiting in Chengqian Palace. As soon as An Lingrong stepped into the palace gate, Qian Yue ran over to her.

"Mother, I miss you." Qian Yue said while crying. An Lingrong touched Qian Yue's little face with heartache.

"Mother is fine, Qianyue, stop crying." An Lingrong comforted and pulled Qianyue into the inner hall.

The Fourth Prince and Rong Yin also entered the palace after hearing the news. They were relieved to see that An Lingrong was indeed safe and sound.

"How is things in the palace?" After everyone had left, An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha who remained.

"It's still the same as before. The emperor has lost his appetite these past few days. I heard that the emperor has issued an oral order that if Xia Qi can't find you today, he will be beheaded." Fu Cha spoke, his eyes slightly red again.

"Why are you crying again?" An Lingrong complained, but she held Fu Cha's hand.

"No, it was the wind and sand that got into my eyes." Fu Cha spoke, pretending to be angry.

"Is there anything happening in the palace?" An Lingrong asked, and Fu Cha shook his head.

"It's still the same. By the way, there is something you may not know. Wan promised to die." Fu Cha straightened his body and looked at An Lingrong.

"What? Zhen Huan is dead?" An Lingrong was surprised and looked at Fu Cha in disbelief.

"Yes, he died at the hands of assassins. Xia Qie has already found out that the assassins in Qiu Lie were all former members of the Nian family. This time they assassinated not only the emperor, but also the Zhen family.

They still blamed the downfall of the Nian family on Zhen Yuandao. My father wrote to me, saying that no one in the Zhen family was spared from the disaster."

Fu Cha continued to speak, and An Lingrong was shocked again. The news came too suddenly, so suddenly that she couldn't believe it for a moment.

"How could this happen?" An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha, who shook his head.

"The Nian family's power is deeply rooted. The emperor has already issued an order to completely eradicate the Nian family's followers." Fu Cha said again, An Lingrong was still in a daze.

Zhen Huan died? How did she die? An Lingrong always felt that she shouldn't have died like this, but she couldn't tell where she was wrong...

The next morning, Meng Zhaoxing came to take An Lingrong's pulse.

"Your Majesty, your wound has healed, but you still cannot eat spicy food. In a few days, you can use some ointment to remove the scars." Meng Zhaoxing spoke and Juqing agreed.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I discovered that Concubine Ning has taken away too much cinnabar recently." Meng Zhaoxing said, and An Lingrong looked at Meng Zhaoxing.

"Cinnabar? What does she need it for?" An Lingrong asked, not understanding.

"Cinnabar can be used as medicine, but if used too much, it may damage the nerves. If it is refined, the effect will be doubled..." Meng Zhaoxing looked at An Lingrong, who was wondering who Concubine Ning was trying to harm...

"Tell the Imperial Hospital that if she needs it again, just give her a fixed amount." An Lingrong pondered for a few breaths and couldn't figure out who she wanted to harm. She just thought that she wanted to use it herself, so Meng Zhaoxing agreed and left.

She had managed to keep the harem relatively clean and didn't want any more trouble to occur.

Since this incident, the emperor treated An Lingrong even better and summoned An Lingrong to serve him in the imperial study almost every day. It was also after he recovered from his illness that the emperor felt that he was getting old and began to become obsessed with the way to immortality.

An Lingrong thought this was nonsense, but Concubine Ning took the matter very seriously and discussed it with the emperor every day. The emperor was very pleased and promoted Concubine Ning to Concubine Ning.

In the blink of an eye, it is spring again. An Lingrong takes Qian Yue to feed the fish in front of the Imperial Lake. Looking at the spring scenery and feeling the gentle breeze, she feels relaxed in her heart.

"Hello, Concubine Chen." When the voice came, An Lingrong's heart trembled. She turned around and saw Feng Chi kneeling not far away.

"General Feng is fine." An Lingrong looked at Feng Chi with a faint smile on her face.

When Feng Chi looked up, An Lingrong felt that he had lost weight again. She felt a slight pain in her heart, but she tried to suppress it and said:

"The Emperor is waiting for the General in the Imperial Study. Please go quickly."

When he opened his mouth he realized that his voice was trembling slightly. Feng Chi looked at An Lingrong, suppressed his thoughts, and quickly bowed his head and said "yes." He said goodbye and turned to leave.

An Lingrong looked at his tall back as he walked away, tightening the silk handkerchief in her hand again and again. She asked the servants to accompany Qian Yue while she returned to Chengqian Palace.

She sat on the bed and looked out the window, and recalled the scene when Feng Chi blew gently on the wound on her arm. She felt her arm was burning. She came to her senses and asked Ju Qing to bring the account book, and started to count on the abacus.

This was the only way she could stop thinking about those two days...
