Zhen Huan had not been summoned for a long time since her last bed with the emperor. The few times she was summoned, she was called to dance like a dancer.

After the dance, before Zhen Huan could catch her breath, the emperor's hand fell on the top of her head, making her subconsciously become very submissive and snuggle up to the emperor's side like a little bird.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes, feeling the hand sliding across her shoulders and neck, and finally stopping at her waist and abdomen, stroking them repeatedly.

Although no one in the palace dared to look up at her, Zhen Huan still felt that she was being burned by the contemptuous gazes, and she always felt as if there were eyes full of scrutiny in the dark.

The emperor withdrew his hand. He hated seeing Zhen Huan make such an expression the most. She had obviously won the emperor's favor by dancing, but she had to reveal a look of grief, anger and grievance, as if she was forced to do so.

The emperor suddenly felt a little fed up and waved his hand casually, asking her to go back.

Zhen Huan walked back to Sui Yuxuan holding her outer cloak. She was only wearing a dance costume inside. The wind blew through her and she felt cold to the bone. She didn't know if she didn't want to meet anyone or it was just too cold, but she walked very fast.

When she passed through the Imperial Garden, the corner of her clothes was caught by a dead branch. Just as Zhen Huan lowered her head and tried to pull the clothes off without damaging them, a male voice suddenly rang out.

The incident of praying for the statue in the Plum Garden did not happen in this life, but Prince Guo, a street urchin in the harem, still met Zhen Huan. Seeing the beauty biting her lip and pulling at the corner of her clothes, he felt itchy and went forward to tease her.

……

There are many unreasonable things in this world. For the unfavored and low-status An Lingrong, singing little songs was considered an actor's behavior. But now the favored Concubine Yun has made singing a hobby. The emperor even specially gave An Lingrong a female teacher. The wind direction changed, and for a while, the sound of people quietly learning to sing could be heard everywhere in the harem.

Even Concubine Qi hid in the palace and secretly learned to sing a few lines, hoping that one day the emperor would come and stay for a while. However, her beautiful wish was forcibly shattered by Concubine Hua from the neighboring Yikun Palace when she got up early one day to warm up her voice. Concubine Hua only said, "You are screaming like a ghost. I thought someone stepped on your tail." This completely shattered Concubine Qi's dream. She bit her handkerchief and cried in the palace for a long time.

Yixiu's headache came back, and she felt that every corner of the palace was terribly noisy, except for Zhen Huan, whom she had pushed out, who was as quiet as if she had never existed.

"Useless thing! I helped her a lot, but she lost her temper and went into hiding!"

Jianqiu brought the medicine to her own queen with an anxious look on her face, and then went forward to serve and massage her, hoping that Yixiu would feel better as soon as possible and not suffer this pain. At the same time, she also remembered Zhen Huan who had displeased her master. Concubine Yun was not easy to move, so could the little Wan not move her if she promised herself?

Zhen Huan, who was huddled in the Suiyu Pavilion in a state of anxiety, had no idea that danger was coming. She was only thinking about a figure and was lost in thought. She was awakened by Liu Zhu after being called several times. Her face was flushed and her heart was beating fast.

Jianqiu only needs to give a few instructions, and the days in Suiyuxuan will return to the pre-liberation era. This time, there will even be no fresh cabbage to eat, and they can only eat frozen tofu.

Unfortunately, Zhen Huan was in the mood for love at the moment. Since the last meeting in the Imperial Garden, Zhen Huan had secretly gone there several times. Coincidentally, she met Prince Guo most of the time.

The two talked about poetry and songs and the philosophy of life. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would even want to have a harmonious performance. A secret feeling lingered between them. Suiyuxuan was located in a remote place and had no close contacts with the imperial concubines. From time to time, Prince Guo would bring A Jin to "accidentally" meet her near her residence.

An Lingrong calculated the time and realized that if she didn't help Nian Gengyao, her brother would be dead soon. So, having been granted residence in Yongshou Palace, she turned around and went to the adjacent Yikun Palace. She asked Concubine Hua to dismiss the other servants, leaving only Songzhi, Zhou Ninghai, and Concubine Hua.

An Lingrong analyzed the pros and cons for a long time and found that the three people opposite her showed very obvious reactions. They either didn't understand or didn't quite believe it. The three of them blinked their six clear but stupid eyes and said nothing.

"Sister, do you believe me?"

As soon as An Lingrong finished speaking, Concubine Hua nodded.

An Lingrong took the opportunity to call over the female doctor whom she had asked for through the empress dowager. The female doctor had been affixed with a loyalty token and had to obey An Lingrong's orders in every move.

"Go check what's in that incense burner."

"Yes."

When Hua Fei heard that the Huanyi incense she had always loved contained a large amount of musk, especially the most precious northwestern musk deer, and thought of her brother who had made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in the northwest, she felt her knees go weak and she almost collapsed.

Without waiting for An Lingrong to step forward to help her, Hua Fei jumped up again, saying "He actually lied to me for so many years" while crying uncontrollably, her expression turning from resentment to hatred.

An Lingrong mentioned the events of the previous dynasty again, and bluntly said that Nian Gengyao's military achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor. He was also unruly and if he did not change, the emperor would find a reason to capture him, and the entire Nian Mansion would be doomed.

Concubine Hua cried and gnashed her teeth. Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai had red eyes, as if they wanted to rush to the Yangxin Palace and tear two pieces of flesh off the emperor.

An Lingrong took out a pill and handed it to Concubine Hua. "Anyone who takes this medicine will show signs of a relapse of their old illness within a month. It's actually a medicine that harmonizes the internal organs and will not harm the body. However, the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis will only reveal symptoms of old illness caused by physical weakness."

Hua Fei took the pill without hesitation, put it away, turned around and pretended to kneel down before An Lingrong, "Lingrong, if it weren't for you, my... Nian family would have been killed by that ruthless person..."

An Lingrong supported Nian Shilan, raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from her face, shaking her head, "Sister, why do you say that? If it weren't for you, how could Lingrong be where she is today?"

As the two held hands and looked at each other, they heard "bang bang" sounds. It was Zhou Ninghai and Song Zhi, two idiots, kneeling down in front of An Lingrong and knocking their heads loudly.
