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

Concubine Hua made a big fuss, and the next day when An Lingrong was getting dressed, she heard the news from the "Yangxin Palace".

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua broke into the Yangxin Palace last night. Word has spread throughout the harem that General Nian Gengyao's old illness has relapsed, and the Emperor has urgently dispatched Su Peisheng and the imperial physician to the Nian residence to visit him."

"Many people say that General Nian seems to be dying."

"Many people say that Concubine Hua is pitiful."

The Nian family's reaction was not slow, and they openly used a conspiracy with the emperor.

The meritorious minister's old illness has relapsed. No matter how cruel the emperor is, he cannot attack the Nian family at this time.

If Nian Gengyao had been more ruthless, Concubine Hua and the rest of the Nian family would have lived a peaceful life for the rest of their lives.

After filling her stomach, An Lingrong went to Jingren Palace as usual.

She observed that many concubines had softened their attitudes towards Concubine Hua.

"Sister Hua Fei, didn't the Emperor exempt you from paying respects? Why are you still here?"

"Your Majesty, my brother's old illness relapsed yesterday. The Emperor ordered Eunuch Su to take the imperial physician to visit him, but no news has come back yet. I couldn't sleep, so I came here to talk to you sisters."

She confirmed the rumors herself so that her brother and his friends' plans would not be in vain.

The queen was very upset when she wrote the letter to Nian Gengyao, but she still did not forget to comfort him gently.

"Sister Hua Fei, I believe that General Nian will be blessed with good fortune, so you don't have to worry too much."

The queen sincerely prayed that Nian Gengyao must live well.

Only by staying alive can one wait for the reckoning from the emperor who hates evil.

By that time, let alone Concubine Hua, it is estimated that it is still unknown whether the Nian family can even preserve their bloodline.

With the Queen's words of comfort, An Lingrong also followed the others in saying a few words of comfort.

During this time, the two looked at each other several times, and both looked away knowing what was going on.

Whether in the former dynasty or the harem, it has always been taboo to form cliques, not to mention that the two of them are both one of the four concubines.

It's the beginning of time.

Su Peisheng, with dark complexion, staggered into the Yangxin Palace.

"This slave is here to see the Emperor."

The emperor asked anxiously.

"Su Peisheng, stand up and answer. Is there anything wrong with Nian Gengyao?"

"Your Majesty, according to Imperial Physician Zhang's investigation, General Nian was targeted by bandits while in the northwest and was poisoned by a chronic poison."

"The acacia seeds in the poison are extremely toxic. If they accumulate to a certain level, people will not be able to withstand it."

Su Peisheng bowed in reply.

When they arrived last night, General Nian Gengyao was vomiting blood.

Doctor Zhang worked all night long and finally managed to save the patient.

He waited until the situation at General Nian's place stabilized before hurried back to report the news.

The emperor seemed to remember something and sighed heavily.

"How much longer does Nian Gengyao have left?"

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang said it might just be a few days."

"Okay, I understand. Order Zhang Wuwei to take good care of General Nian. If you need anything, just take it from my private treasury. And keep Concubine Hua's affairs secret for now."

After all, she is the woman who has been with him for more than ten years, so there is still some affection between them.

He still owed Hua Fei a child. If Nian Gengyao really passed away, it would not be a bad idea to give her a child.

Concubine Hua was worried about her brother at home and became visibly haggard. She was absent-minded when paying her respects and stayed in Yiku Palace at other times.

After a gloomy lunch, Shen Meizhuang, after washing up, led her people to Suiyuxuan.

"Huan'er, I'm here to see you."

"Sister Mei, please come in."

Zhen Huan walked forward with a smile, took her hand and walked into the main room as before.

"Sister Mei, you finally decided to leave Cun Ju Tang."

"It was my sister who was hysterical. Don't worry, I will never put you in a difficult position again."

Shen Meizhuang promised with a smile.

"Okay, Sister Mei, as long as you figure it out."

Shen Meizhuang gently held Zhen Huan's hand and asked her to send her attendants away.

"Huan'er, I came to you this time to ask for a favor."

"Sister, why should we be so polite? Just speak frankly."

"Then, sister, just speak frankly. Someone in my family was lucky enough to capture the fugitive Liu Bin, and he confessed that he was under the orders of Concubine Hua to murder me."

Zhen Huan has suffered from Concubine Hua for a long time and is worried that she will not have the chance to fight back.

She asked eagerly.

"Sister, do you have a confession signed by Liu Bin?"

Shen Meizhuang took the brocade box from Caiyue.

"Huan'er, his signed confession is right here. Liu Binren is also outside the palace. If you need him to correct you in person, he can bring it in at any time."

"Okay, Sister Mei, I will definitely ask the emperor to clear your name."

"Then I'll trouble you, sister."

Shen Meizhuang opened her mouth and finally said this sentence.

The letter that came said that someone had found Liu Bin a long time ago and had been holding him captive.

After repeated observations, the person who imprisoned Liu Bin was suspected to be Uncle Zhen.

The Shen family set a fire and finally caught Liu Bin who was fleeing in panic.

She knew that with Zhen Huan's help, she would be able to clear her name.

However, on the way back, Shen Meizhuang was thinking about what to do next.

Holding the leverage over Concubine Hua in her hand, Zhen Huan packed up and hurried to the Yangxin Palace.

"Eunuch Su, my young lady has something to ask the emperor for. Please inform him."

Cui Jinxi walked forward and greeted him with a smile.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Su Peisheng was lukewarm towards her.

"Please wait a moment, Master Wan. I will go and inform you right away."

He took a step back without leaving a trace, treating her like an ordinary concubine.

Cui Jinxi frowned and looked at Su Peisheng who came in to report. The relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the time when they first met.

It seems that I need to find an opportunity to talk to Su Peisheng.

"Lady Wan, the Emperor invites you in."

Su Peisheng made an inviting gesture and followed behind, standing by the door.

Cui Jinxi, who was one step behind, naturally did not dare to go outside the palace door to talk to him.

"Hanhuan, is there something you want to see me for?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The emperor rubbed his aching head. There were more and more memorials impeaching Nian Gengyao, so he asked him to listen to what Jie Yuhua had to say.

After getting the emperor's permission, Zhen Huan knelt heavily on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the fugitive Liu Bin from the Imperial Hospital has been apprehended. According to his confession, he attacked Sister Mei solely at the behest of Concubine Hua."

"This is Liu Bin's confession. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for Sister Mei."

When Su Peisheng heard this, he hurried forward and presented the offering paper that Concubine Wan had held above her head to the emperor.

The former court implicated Nian Gengyao, and the harem came to sue Concubine Hua.

Are these all coordinated?

The emperor even suspected that Zhen Huan was falsely accusing Concubine Hua.

He looked at Zhen Huan several times with an obscure look and asked sternly.

"Mr. Wan, is what you said true?"

"Your Majesty, what I said is indeed true. Please investigate carefully."

Zhen Huan didn't expect that even with the testimony, the emperor still had doubts.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bin is outside the palace. You can summon him in to investigate at any time."

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan with dissatisfaction and gave murderous orders.

"Su Peisheng, go pick him up yourself."

"The slave obeys the order."
