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

The emperor interrupted sternly with a gloomy expression.

"Concubine Qi, have you had enough of making trouble?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi loves her son dearly, please forgive her."

The Queen did not expect that Concubine Qi was so hopeless that she could not even understand the gesture telling her to stop.

The emperor stared at the queen with his dark eyes and gave orders impatiently.

"Empress, Hong is still ill. Please take good care of him."

Without waiting for the queen's reply, he gave orders to Su Peisheng.

"Su Peisheng, Concubine Qi failed to take good care of the Third Prince, causing him to remain ill for a long time. I hereby confine him to his home for three months and fine him one year's salary."

"All the palace servants who failed to fulfill their duties as slaves will be beaten to death."

"Remember to inform the six palaces, and have them send servants to witness the execution."

"The slave obeys the order."

No matter how stupid Concubine Qi was, she knew that the palace maids who accompanied her were suffering for her.

"Your Majesty, it is my fault for listening to slanderous words. I beg Your Majesty to spare the palace maids who accompanied me."

Those are her confidants, and they must be protected.

The emperor didn't want to see the unreasonable Concubine Qi, so he glanced at the queen who was as still as a mountain.

Yixiu had no choice but to cooperate and stood up.

"Your Majesty, I and Concubine Qi will be leaving first. Concubine Shu, the Third Prince is seriously ill, and Concubine Qi loves her son dearly. Please forgive me."

She gave Jianqiu a wink, and two burly maids carried Concubine Qi out.

Concubine Qi, who had not received the emperor's pardon, struggled hard and kicked the half-embroidered Hundred Children Picture by An Lingrong to the ground.

Seeing the sharp porcelain fragments tearing through the embroidery tent, An Lingrong couldn't help but tear up.

"Your Majesty, this is something I have been embroidering since before I entered the Old Summer Palace. Now... now..."

The emperor, who felt that he shouldn't have believed Concubine Qi's one-sided words, came to Yonghe Palace, clenched the broken rattle, and shouted angrily.

"Su Peisheng, Concubine Qi is confined to her house for six months and fined two years' salary."

When Concubine Qi heard that the punishment would be doubled, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Empress, Concubine Qi has fainted."

The queen, who failed again, took a deep breath without turning her head.

"Send Concubine Qi back to the palace to rest."

"Jianqiu, take Doctor Zhang to see the Third Prince yourself."

"The slaves obey."

The palace maids serving in Yonghe Palace were very perceptive and cleaned the main room in no time.

The emperor gestured to An Lingrong to sit on the couch and pushed the osmanthus cake that Baoge had added to her side.

"Rong'er, Concubine Qi is so rude. Your filial piety to the Queen Mother has been wasted."

He never mentioned the art of exorcism.

"Your Majesty, as a fellow mother, I understand how much Concubine Qi loves her son."

Just now, the Queen clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with Concubine Qi.

As a chess player, you must look at the overall situation. If the pawn crossing the river affects the overall situation, it will definitely be abandoned or even exchanged.

The reckless Concubine Qi and the dull Third Prince are not a concern.

After An Lingrong finished speaking, she blushed and looked at the tall man beside the small table with trust.

"Your Majesty, I am not afraid as long as you protect me and Hongzhan."

She spoke sincerely, saying that in the entire palace, the emperor was the only one who would not harm them and their child.

As for helping to protect him, she was just talking about it.

The emperor was moved by An Lingrong's trust in his heart and eyes. He stretched out his warm big hand and held her red little hand.

"Rong'er, don't worry. I will protect you and your child."

"Come, accompany me to see Hongzhan."

An Lingrong obediently followed the emperor's strength and stood up.

After playing with the Sixth Prince for a while, it was time for lunch, and the Emperor also stayed to have lunch.

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, An Lingrong made a request in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Third Prince is seriously ill, and Sister Qifei is also..."

"Could Your Majesty please go and see the Third Prince on my behalf?"

The emperor has always been tolerant towards his offspring, which is why she dared to speak.

"Rong'er, you...Okay, I'll go check on the Third Prince for you."

The emperor, who originally wanted to go to Suiyuxuan, turned around and headed towards the prince's residence.

He secretly thought that if Concubine Qi was as sensible as Concubine Shu, she would not be used as a pawn by others.

I'll have to ask Xia Qi to investigate and see who in the harem set up this trap.

Because the emperor ordered that what happened in Yonghe Palace should not be leaked, everyone only knew that Concubine Qi took the emperor and the empress to Yonghe Palace.

Not long after, Concubine Qi was placed under house arrest, and the palace maids accompanying her were to be executed in public.

Yikun Palace

"Your Majesty, Su Peisheng chose a crowded place to carry out the execution and beat Concubine Qi's accompanying palace maid to death."

Before the execution, Su Peisheng was ordered to call all the palace maids who served their masters in each palace to watch the execution.

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai were naturally among the onlookers.

Song Zhi's face turned pale with horror, while Zhou Ninghai reported the matter without changing his expression.

"How can you become a palace maid?"

Concubine Hua came from a family of military generals and thought that the death of a few palace maids was no big deal.

But Su Peisheng worked for the emperor, so she had no choice but to investigate further.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, it is said that the accompanying servants did not fulfill their duties."

Zhou Ninghai replied unhappily.

Witnessing the wailing of the palace maids and the blood-soaked floor tiles with his own eyes, he felt a deep sense of grief.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Emperor has personally issued an order that Concubine Qi be confined to her home for six months and fined two years for not caring for the Third Prince properly."

"The Third Prince is already past the age of being granted a title and establishing his own household. Does he still need Concubine Qi's care?"

Concubine Hua seemed to have heard some huge joke.

She laughed uncontrollably for a long time before Songzhi, who had been silent the whole time, spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I dare to speculate that Concubine Qi must have done something in Yonghe Palace that has offended the Emperor."

As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Beating the accompanying palace maid to death was a warning to Concubine Qi.

"The Emperor confined Concubine Qi to Changchun Palace for the sake of the Third Prince."

"What evil did Concubine Qi do?"

She looked at the two of them in confusion.

"Your Majesty, the confinement of Concubine Qi is probably related to Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince."

Concubine Qi is on the Queen's side. Regardless of whether the Queen's baby is a boy or a girl, the fact that the Third Prince does not please the Emperor is enough to make them both anxious.

"That old woman, the Queen, is using Concubine Qi to eliminate dissidents?"

After Hua Fei understood what was going on, she recalled carefully and found that the Queen had not bothered her for some days.

She shouted.

"Songzhi, go and make some medicine for me."

"Zhou Ninghai, my brother will soon be returning to the capital, and the military doctor accompanying him is highly skilled. Once the army arrives, find a way to bring the doctor in."

The former dynasty and the harem are closely related. If my brother wins the battle, the emperor will naturally bless his family.

She must seize the opportunity to get pregnant as soon as possible.

The idea of ​​using Princess Wen Yi to curry favor that she had come up with in her spare time had long been thrown to the sky.

Gyeongin Palace

"Your Majesty, the Empress, someone from the Prince's Residence has reported that the Emperor has gone to see the Third Prince."

"The Third Prince has become arrogant due to his favor and requests that the Emperor release Concubine Qi from her confinement."

"The Emperor didn't respond. He then said, confused and delirious... that the Emperor's other children were still young and whether they could be raised..."

"Bastard!"

The queen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Hongshi was cursing her unborn child.
