An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

An Lingrong stayed up all night and was so tired that she didn't even have breakfast and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the sun was hanging low in the sky outside.

After finishing a bowl of sesame cold noodles, she went into the side hall again.

The two wet nurses were dozing in the side room, and Baoque was doing needlework beside the small bed.

When the light in the room dimmed, he realized that the Empress had come in. Just as he was about to pay his respects, he was stopped by An Lingrong.

The baby in the crib was sleeping soundly, as if he had a sweet dream, with his little mouth slightly open.

I moved Hongzhan to her room last night and he stopped crying.

But the night before, in this side hall...

An Lingrong thought about it and decided to let Hongzhan sleep with her for another night.

She called Baoque over and whispered a few words to her.

"My lady, I understand."

Before sunset, the Sixth Prince and his wet nurses moved from the side hall into the main building in full view of everyone.

A young eunuch sweeping the floor in the corner turned pale and joined the others in praising.

"The Concubine Shu really loves the Sixth Prince. Not only does she ask about everything, she even brought the Sixth Prince back to her room to sleep with her."

"Sixth Prince is so lucky to have such a mother."

"Empress Shufei..."

As night falls, the lights in the sky above and below gradually go out.

An Lingrong vaguely heard the sound of flowing water. She listened carefully again and identified it carefully.

Gurgle...Gurgle...

This was the sound of rowing, which she had heard on her way to Beijing.

An Lingrong quietly stood up and saw through the gauze that a dark yellow lantern was moving slowly on the lake.

After watching for a while, I found that the lanterns were getting closer and closer to the side hall.

An Lingrong gently poked Baoli who was keeping watch.

"Let Xiao Linzi bring people to..."

A quarter of an hour later, a young eunuch with an ordinary appearance was brought in.

"Your Majesty, I have captured the person with evil intentions."

"This treacherous servant is the one who sweeps the floor. I don't know how to judge people. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Linzi kowtowed heavily to apologize.

His subordinates kept getting into trouble one after another, and even if the queen was kind, he couldn't get over it.

"Xiao Linzi, you should get up first."

An Lingrong had a good memory. This little eunuch was sent here by Su Peisheng after she entered the garden.

At that time, in order to remember who the emperor's men were, she showed up and gave them a few words of instruction.

"To murder my prince is a capital crime. Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am innocent. How dare I murder the Sixth Prince?"

"Please understand, Your Majesty. I have loved raccoons since I was a child. Seeing how close the raccoons outside were to their parents, I couldn't help but go to the lake to catch some fish to feed them."

Xiao Linzi kicked the man to the ground and scolded him angrily.

"You little dog slave, you still don't confess when the time comes."

"Your Majesty, I have sent my men to search the lake. We will leave this black-hearted dog speechless."

An Lingrong nodded. People leave traces when they pass by, and wild geese leave tracks when they pass by.

She just didn't believe that those who did evil would not leave any loopholes. Looking at the fearless young eunuch below, An Lingrong reminded him in a deep voice.

"Xiao Linzi, order someone to thoroughly search the lake near the side hall."

An Lingrong, who had been staring at the young eunuch, noticed that as soon as these words were spoken, a look of obvious panic flashed across the face of the captured young eunuch.

Her heart sank. If it was really this little eunuch who did something evil, she could only report it to the emperor, and the result would probably be the same as before.

Unable to hold back her anger, An Lingrong loosened her clenched fists.

With my mother's wisdom, I will seek justice for you one day.

The house was eerily quiet, but everyone knew it was the calm before the storm.

Less than half an hour later, Xiao Linzi came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission. We have found a large fish cage under the side hall."

"The fish cage is placed right below where the Sixth Prince sleeps."

An Lingrong stood up and asked.

"Where is the fish cage? Take me to see it."

The lights in front of Hanyue Tower were bright, and there were two young eunuchs holding lanterns in front of the fish cages.

I saw a flat, unidentified creature with four limbs lying quietly in the cage. Its entire body was golden without a trace of other colors.

The sharp-eyed An Lingrong also noticed that the eye sockets of the unidentified object were golden.

"What is this? Does anyone recognize it?"

Even the two wet nurses who took care of the Sixth Prince were brought out for identification, and they all shook their heads.

But the captured eunuch kept silent.

"Xiao Linzi, keep this weird thing in the lake."

"As for this traitorous slave, tie him up and torture him severely, but remember to spare his life."

Even if An Lingrong wanted to cut this man into pieces, but when she thought that he was sent by the Qinzheng Palace, she had to spare his life.

"My Lady, I have heard that Doctor Wei is very knowledgeable. Why don't you summon him here to identify him?"

Bao Ge saw Wei Lin reading miscellaneous books in the Imperial Hospital several times, perhaps because he was well-informed.

"Your Majesty, the first time I saw that strange thing, I thought it was edible. How about calling someone from the kitchen or the imperial kitchen to come and identify it?"

"It would be too much trouble to ask for someone from the kitchen. After daybreak, go and get Doctor Wei immediately."

An Lingrong ordered tiredly.

"There's no need to wait in the room, you guys should go to bed early."

An Lingrong, wearing a cloak, gently turned the teacup and sat in the house until dawn.

Gradually, she heard people moving around in the outer room, so she returned to the inner room. Hongzhan was sleeping soundly on the small bed.

"Baoli, be quiet, don't wake up the Sixth Prince."

"Yes, ma'am."

An Lingrong, with bloodshot eyes, had her hair combed into a simple bun by Baoli, and she didn't even put on makeup as she had to meet the emperor today.

Her skin was as white as jade, but after staying up all night, dark circles were visible under her eyes.

Wei Lin, who was hurriedly pulled over by Bao Ge, was startled when he saw Concubine Shu's appearance.

"Your humble servant, the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital, has come to see Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."

This made Baoge secretly roll her eyes. Why did Doctor Wei, who was usually so smart, keep talking nonsense?

"Doctor Wei, I've heard you're quite knowledgeable. I caught something last night and would like you to identify it."

"Your Majesty, I will do my best."

When I saw the full picture of the unidentified object that day, I was so excited that I couldn't help but get closer.

"This, this, this..."

Unexpectedly, Wei Lin actually recognized this thing. After listening to his report, An Lingrong asked Xiao Linzi to invite the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Mountains in the Classic of Mountains and Seas records a mermaid, saying: 'It looks like a mullet, has four legs, and sounds like a baby.'"

"This mermaid hides during the day and comes out at night. He will avoid anything he hears."

"According to my observations over the years, the second half of the night is when the human body is most tired."

"Whenever the mermaid cries, the maids will check on the Sixth Prince..."

The emperor naturally understood Wei Lin’s unspoken intention.

His sixth child was a hot-tempered child. Whenever the tired nanny came forward to check his clothes or interrupted him while feeding, he would wail uncontrollably.

This shows how cruel the people behind the scenes are!

This was the first prince born safely after he ascended the throne. How could the emperor watch him suffer?
