The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Chapter 124 Pretend to Surrender

That urgent message traveled at breakneck speed straight to the capital. Soon, it exploded like a bombshell, causing a stir in the capital.

When the emperor received the news, he was very pleased and everyone was also very happy.

The Junggar crisis has been resolved for now, but the emperor's suspicion is probably even greater.

After I got up early that day and paid my respects to the Queen, she actually left me alone.

"Do you know why I left you here alone to talk to me?" The queen sat in the middle and said slowly.

"I am stupid, please explain it to me, Your Majesty." I pretended to be confused.

"Noble Concubine Rong, you are a brilliant mind. You started out as a humble concubine and eventually rose to the prestigious position of Noble Concubine. The hardships and difficulties along the way are probably only known to you."

"Looking at your achievements today, I am filled with emotion. You have always been thoughtful and prudent, and I see these qualities in you. That is why I am speaking to you so frankly today, and will not engage in any more roundabout and hypocritical conversation."

"I hope you understand that now that you are in this harem, I have always considered you a person I can trust. Therefore, I am asking you now, are you willing to help me?"

"I am deeply grateful. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust and regard for me. In the days ahead, I will definitely keep this trust in my heart, always put Your Majesty first, and do my best to serve you. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"If that's the case, I'll be relieved." The queen smiled happily.

"Jianqiu, go to my room and bring the red gold and pearl bracelet that was tributed from foreign countries and give it to Concubine Rong as a reward." The queen called Jianqiu and told her to get it.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness. However, I have no merit and cannot accept such a generous gift."

"That's okay. I like you being sensible and understanding. This is nothing. Jianqiu, go get it."

"I thank the Empress for the reward, but I dare not trouble you any more. Baojuan, please go with Aunt Jianqiu to get it." I turned around and instructed Baojuan.

When Baojuan heard me say this, she was confused at first, but when she saw the look in my eyes, she immediately understood and hurriedly followed Jianqiu.

A moment later, the two of them came back, and Baojuan was holding an exquisitely crafted box in her hand.

"Open it and see if you like it. I have kept this bracelet and never shown it to anyone. It is just right for you to wear it now." The queen looked very happy, but I didn't know whether she was really happy or not.

When I heard the queen say this, I couldn't help but feel a little confused, but I still chose to follow her advice.

I slowly reached out and carefully took the box from Baojuan. The box felt slightly cool and had a delicate texture.

I gently placed the box on the table with gentle movements, then slowly opened the lid of the box, and a faint fragrance came to my face.

When the box was fully opened, a red gold bracelet inlaid with beads lay quietly inside. The bracelet shone with dazzling light, and the red gold surface was inlaid with round and translucent beads, each bead seemed to be shining brightly.

I took the bracelet out and examined it closely, feeling its exquisite craftsmanship. The gold was pure, polished to a mirror-smooth finish, without a single flaw. The beads were expertly set into the bracelet, neatly arranged and uniformly sized, as if they were naturally formed.

I couldn't help but sigh, "Empress, this red gold bracelet inlaid with beads is truly a superb item. The workmanship is so exquisite, it's truly a treasure!"

"If you like it, it will be a blessing for this bracelet."

"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty. I like it very much."

"I have something else I would like to ask for your help, Your Majesty!" I spoke suddenly as if I had suddenly thought of something.

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me and see if I can help you."

"I dare to ask the Queen for permission to move out of Suiyuxuan!" I took a deep breath and then suddenly spoke.

The queen was originally sitting leisurely in the chair, but when she heard what I said, her delicate face was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she was shocked by my sudden request.

After a moment, her eyes, which usually always had a faint smile, were now very serious, as if she had noticed something unusual.

"What did you say? Move out of the Broken Jade Pavilion?"

The Queen frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion, "Why are you suddenly moving out of the Broken Jade Pavilion?"

I sighed inwardly, then slowly told my thoughts and reasons one by one.

The queen listened quietly, her expression sometimes solemn, sometimes thoughtful, as if she was weighing my words.

"What you said is that now Suiyuxuan is occupied by you and Concubine Wan, as well as Concubine Chun. It is indeed inconvenient, and it is not easy to divide the main position of the palace. This is something I have not considered and neglected!" At this time, the queen also thought of this.

"Don't worry, I will find a chance to explain this to the emperor and move out of Suiyuxuan. Then you will be the mistress of the palace." The queen said confidently.

After some pleasantries, I took Baojuan and left the Queen's palace, returning to the familiar yet unfamiliar Suiyuxuan.

The door that once brought me so much laughter now seemed to become particularly heavy.

As soon as I entered the door, my sister came up to me and asked me where I had been. I told her the truth, that the Queen had summoned me alone, so I might have to move out of Sui Yuxuan in the future.

"Lingrong, everything is fine, why do you want to move out? The two of us sisters, plus that girl Chun'er, usually talk and laugh together, and keep each other company. Isn't that good?"

She looked at me with confusion in her eyes.

I bowed my head slightly and whispered, "Sister, the Empress Dowager loves me dearly. She's made arrangements for me to move somewhere else this time out of kindness. If I reject the Empress Dowager's kindness, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

"Although my sister has moved out of Suiyuxuan, we can still visit each other frequently in the future!"

After saying that, I raised my head and looked at her firmly.

After hearing this, she nodded slightly, forcing a smile into her lips. Then she waved her hand gently and said, "Since that's the case, I won't say any more. I wish you a bright future and may all your wishes come true."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left without looking back.

As for me, I looked towards the door seemingly nonchalantly, but I had already anticipated what was going to happen.

Sure enough, at that moment, I caught a glimpse of a furtive figure lurking in the corner. Upon closer inspection, I saw a man in eunuch attire, hiding there, watching what was going on inside the room. He flashed by, disappearing like a ghost, swiftly.
