Yongshou Palace invited the imperial physician again late at night. After the emperor personally visited An Lingrong, he told her to have a good rest and divided the palace power in her hands between Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing.

Just as the loyal Concubine Jing left, the bright and beautiful Concubine Hua hurriedly stepped into the main hall.

"Lingrong, why do you have to do this..."

Concubine Hua couldn't help but sigh, "Why are you giving up your power in the palace? This is the result of your years of hard work!"

An Lingrong walked forward and pulled her inside, not forgetting to give instructions to Baoge.

"Concubine Hua's eyes are red. Go make a pot of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea to reduce internal heat and improve eyesight."

She pressed Concubine Hua onto the couch in the inner room and said, "Sister, no matter how important the power of the palace is, it is not as important as the peace of mind of the emperor. You know the reason why my health is like this. Since my health is failing, why do you still cling to the power of the palace?"

"Sister is the person I trust the most. I am relieved to have the power of the palace handed over to you."

Concubine Hua blinked her eyes. "Respected Concubine has also received a share of palace power. This woman usually seems to be a good person, but no one knows what she is thinking."

An Lingrong patted her hands gently and said, "Sister, Imperial Concubine Jing is a smart person. She knows what to do."

"Besides, my sister has been assisting the six palaces for many years and has her own set of rules. This Imperial Concubine Jing may not be able to suppress you."

"The harem has been peaceful for several years, and the emperor can no longer bear it."

"Sister, you must remember that the Emperor is the master of balance. Sometimes the east wind prevails over the west wind, and sometimes the west wind prevails over the east wind. You must adapt to the situation."

"You have a point. I will be careful and not give others an opportunity to take advantage of me."

After Concubine Hua agreed, she was still angry.

"Lingrong, don't worry. If I get the chance one day, I will definitely get it back for you..."

An Lingrong squeezed her hand. "Sister, you don't have to be like this. I won't hide it from you. Although you may seem to have lost your power in the palace, it's not necessarily lost. You still have Anle and your mother's family to look after. You must not act impulsively."

She leaned over to Concubine Hua's ear and whispered, "The Emperor's infertility has been exposed, and Zhen Huan has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment. He's already in a state of panic without you having to do anything."

"Okay, sister knows."

Concubine Hua knew that the current emperor was not easy to deal with, so she agreed temporarily.

After talking to An Lingrong about some funny things for a while, he got up with relief when he saw her laughing.

"I can't stay here long, lest someone become suspicious."

"Lingrong, if you have any problem, please send someone to let me know."

"it is good!"

An Lingrong smiled and nodded, "Bao Que, escort Concubine Hua out."

Concubine Hua never cared about these details, but Concubine Jing was also sent to the palace gate by Baoque, so she could not favor one over the other.

After sending the person away, Baoque asked in confusion.

"Master, why didn't you tell Concubine Hua that the man from Xianfu Palace had already surrendered to you?"

An Lingrong took a sip of the warm chrysanthemum tea, a tenderness flashing in her eyes.

"Empress Hua has the mind of a child. If she knew too much, she would inevitably be restricted."

Also, Concubine Jing was very attentive and should have discovered some clues that she was on good terms with Concubine Hua.

Of course, she revealed some things intentionally, just to make Concubine Jing wary.

Although on the surface she handed over the power of the palace, the person who should be placed in it had already been put in.

This harem is still under her control.

"Baoque, have arrangements been made for the Yanxi Palace and Prince Guo's Mansion?"

"My Lord, I have already sent word of the changes in the palace."

This is the last link in the plan. Baoque will not allow any mistakes to occur, and she is watching over it personally.

"Okay, I'm going to recuperate in Yongshou Palace. Please transfer the manpower from the previous dynasty to Hongzhan as soon as possible."

An Lingrong closed her eyes tiredly.

"Send out the Nian family's men as well."

She has been in the palace for more than ten years without a moment's rest. It's time for her to take a break.

Caiyue waited for Princess Longyue to rest, took a few breaths, and then returned to her residence.

The master said that if the time came, he would present the letter she left behind to the emperor.

Now that the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort have fallen ill one after another, and Concubine Zhen has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, this should be the best opportunity that the master mentioned, right?

Caiyue packed herself up and walked through Yangxin Gate with a fearless attitude.

"Eunuch Xia, I am Caiyue, a servant of Princess Longyue. Here is a letter from Concubine Hui that needs to be presented to the Emperor. Please inform him."

"Miss Caiyue, please wait a moment. I will go and inform you right away."

An Lingrong had given advance notice, so Xiao Xiazi did not stop her.

He had previously let Fubao, who was in charge of looking after the Ninth Prince, in, but the Emperor looked unhappy afterwards.

Before Xiao Xia Zi could finish her words, the emperor interrupted her.

"Invite her in."

As Caiyue stepped into the Yangxin Palace, she was intimidated by the emperor's aura. She greeted him tremblingly and presented the letter with both hands.

The emperor read the letter in silence and finally felt better.

Shen Meizhuang always blamed herself for being abused, so she took care of the evil child herself.

Later, he discovered that there was something unusual between Zhen and Wen Shichu. Fearing that Zhen would go on a path of no return, he resolutely risked his own life to take Wen Shichu away.

Shen Meizhuang used her death to atone for her sins.

It's a pity for such a strong-willed woman.

"Since Concubine Hui asked you to look after Princess Longyue, then follow her from now on."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Caiyue kowtowed repeatedly.

When her master handed the letter to her, she said that if the emperor did not get furious after reading it, she would be able to rest in peace even after death.

As soon as Cai Yue came out, Xiao Xia Zi hurried in to report.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ye from Prince Guo's mansion has sent a letter of greeting."

"Why aren't the female relatives sent to the harem to pay their respects?"

Ye was the woman he gave to his seventeenth brother, so it would be inappropriate for him to meet her directly in the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor refused without a second thought.

Xiao Xiazi felt that today's series of requests for a meeting were not accidental, so he bravely explained.

"Your Majesty, the guard who delivered the message said that Concubine Ye looked anxious, as if she had something life-threatening to report."

"Proclaim it!"

The emperor was still digesting the shock brought by the two palace maids and had no intention of dealing with the memorials for the time being, so it would be okay to meet them.

As soon as Ye Lanyi came in, she knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please help me!"

The emperor felt a pang of pain in his teeth when he heard the sound of her knocking on the ground.

"Ye, why are you doing this? If you have any grievances, please stand up and speak."

Ye Lanyi kowtowed three times, her kneeling legs not moving at all.

"Your Majesty, I have been deeply wronged. When you gave me to Your Majesty in the garden that day, perhaps Your Majesty thought I was a lowly horse trainer and never touched me..."
