I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded
Chapter 25 An Lingrong (24)
Jingyang Palace
An Lingrong took a sip of tea, a gleam in her eyes.
She slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the peonies blooming in the courtyard, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Zhen Huan, ah Zhen Huan," she whispered to herself, "what are you going to do this time?"
Her fingers tapped lightly on the window frame, her thoughts racing. Concubine Hua had always been a thorn in Zhen Huan's side, and now that she had this opportunity, she would not let it go easily.
An Lingrong turned around and walked back to the table, picked up a brush, wrote a few words on the paper, and then quickly crossed them out.
Her eyes became sharp, as if she had already seen the future situation.
"Whatever tricks you use," she said softly, with a hint of provocation in her tone, "I want to see what you can come up with."
Broken Yuxuan
Zhen Huan stood by the window, her brows slightly furrowed, a gleam in her eyes. She turned to Xiao Yunzi and whispered, "We have to think of a way to deal with Concubine Hua."
Xiao Yunzi replied respectfully, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhen Huan slowly walked to the desk, her fingers gently stroking the scrolls on the table. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "I heard that Concubine Li has recently become obsessed with ghosts and gods, and has been burning incense and worshiping Buddha all day long."
Xiao Yunzi nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have heard about this too."
Zhen Huan's lips curled up into a smile, with a cunning glint in her eyes: "Xiao Yunzi, are you willing to do me a favor?"
Xiao Yunzi immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please feel free to speak. I will do my best."
Zhen Huan leaned over and whispered a few words in Xiao Yunzi's ear. After hearing this, Xiao Yunzi's eyes were first surprised, and then showed a look of understanding.
"Your Majesty is brilliant!" Xiao Yunzi exclaimed in admiration, "This plan will surely scare Concubine Li out of her wits."
Zhen Huan nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "Go ahead, but be sure to be careful."
Xiao Yunzi took his orders and left. Zhen Huan watched him leave with a flicker of determination in her eyes. The wind blew gently from the window, stirring the candlelight inside and casting flickering shadows on the wall.
Zhen Huan stood by the window, her brow furrowed, her eyes gleaming with shrewdness. She suddenly turned around and whispered to Xiao Yunzi, "Xiao Yunzi."
Xiao Yunzi immediately stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, please speak. I am here."
Zhen Huan slowly walked to the desk and gently stroked the book on the table with her slender fingers.
"Do you know where Shupin has been going recently?" Zhen Huan asked with a barely perceptible coldness in her voice.
Xiao Yunzi thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, Shupin has been taking walks around Yimei Garden recently."
Zhen Huan's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands gently and said, "Very good. Xiao Yunzi, I need you to dress up as a female ghost and scare An Lingrong while she's taking a walk."
Xiao Yunzi widened her eyes in surprise, but soon understood Zhen Huan's intention.
He knelt respectfully and said, "Your Majesty is wise! I, your servant, will do my best to complete the task."
Zhen Huan nodded with satisfaction, walked to Xiao Yunzi, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Remember, let the entire harem know about this. Make them believe that the palace is haunted, especially Concubine Li."
Xiao Yunzi nodded solemnly, with a determined light in his eyes: "I understand, and I will definitely live up to your trust."
"Go ahead," Zhen Huan said softly, "and be sure to be careful."
Xiao Yunzi took the order and left, his steps brisk and firm. Zhen Huan looked at his departing figure, a sneer on her lips.
Plum Garden
An Lingrong strolled through the plum garden, the breeze caressing her face and the fragrance of plum blossoms invigorating her heart. She gently stroked her slightly swollen belly, a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed out from behind the tree and uttered a sinister cry: "Give me back my life!"
An Lingrong took a step back, her face turning pale. She suppressed her fear and shouted, "Who's there? Get out!"
The surrounding palace maids screamed and fled in all directions, and the eunuchs were so scared that they knelt on the ground, trembling.
The white shadow was erratic, sometimes approaching, sometimes moving away, emitting bursts of eerie laughter.
An Lingrong gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down. She looked around and found that there was no one around her, and her heart sank.
"No matter who you are," An Lingrong said in a raised voice, her tone filled with anger and warning, "If you dare to play tricks in the palace, don't blame me for being rude!"
The white shadow suddenly vanished, and silence returned to the garden. An Lingrong took a deep breath, supported her waist, and slowly sat down on the stone bench, a shrewd look in her eyes.
Jingyang Palace
An Lingrong stood by the window, gently stroking her slightly swollen belly, a complex look in her eyes. She took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the desk. "Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan," An Lingrong whispered to herself, "It seems that this is the only trick you can choose. Unfortunately, you chose the wrong target."
"Zhen Huan," she whispered to herself, a sneer on her lips, "Do you think you can scare me like this? You are so naive."
She sat down, picked up a pen, wrote a few words on the paper, and quickly crossed them out.
"Xiao Luzi," she called suddenly.
A figure flashed out from behind the screen and knelt respectfully: "Your servant is here."
An Lingrong leaned over and whispered in Xiao Luzi's ear, "Go tell the Emperor that Zhen Huan hired someone to dress up as a ghost to scare me. Remember, be tactful and don't let the Emperor think I'm complaining."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Luzi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "I understand, and I will be careful."
"Go ahead," An Lingrong waved her hand, "and be careful."
Xiao Luzi quietly left the room.
"Zhen Huan," she said softly, with a hint of provocation in her tone, "This time, I want to see how you can get away."
Outside Jingren Palace
Night fell quietly, and the outline of the palace loomed in the dim moonlight. The group had just finished visiting the queen and was slowly walking out of Jingren Palace.
Zhen Huan walked in the center of the group, her eyes piercing as she glanced around from time to time. She tilted her head slightly and whispered to Xiao Yunzi beside her, "The time has come. You know what to do."
Xiao Yunzi nodded respectfully, a flicker of determination in his eyes. He retreated silently to the rear of the group, quickly disappearing into the shadows under the cover of darkness. The gentle breeze and the rustling of leaves added a touch of mystery to the night.
Suddenly, a white shadow suddenly rushed out from behind the tree and rushed straight towards Concubine Li who was in front of the team.
Under the moonlight, the white shadow looked particularly strange, as if it was really a ghost from the underworld.
It changed to "Give me back my life!" Xiao Yunzi let out a sinister growl, and the sound echoed in the silent night sky, piercing the tranquility of the night and making people shudder.
Concubine Li and her maids were frightened by the sudden appearance of the "ghost" and screamed in fear.
Concubine Li's face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she stumbled and fell to the ground. Her maids were so scared that they fled in all directions, and some even fell to the ground, screaming.
"Ah! Ghost!" Lipin screamed, covering her face with her hands, her body shaking. She staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The palace maid beside her hurriedly supported Concubine Li, her face pale and her voice trembling.
The other concubines were also frightened by this sudden scene. Some tightly grasped the arms of those around them, while others simply knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Look, what is that?" A palace maid pointed at the white shadow in front of her in horror, her voice trembling.
"Oh my God, is it really a ghost?" Another palace maid covered her mouth, her eyes full of horror.
"Run quickly, don't get entangled by it!" A eunuch was so scared that he turned around and ran, staggering.
"Empress Li, please get out of the way!" The maid next to her hurried forward and tried to protect Concubine Li.
Xiao Yunzi continued to wander around aimlessly, sometimes approaching and sometimes moving away, constantly emitting a sinister and terrifying laugh.
His white clothes fluttered in the moonlight, adding a ghostly feeling. The whole scene was in chaos, with screams and crying one after another.
Concubine Li was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shouted in a trembling voice, "Help! There is a ghost!" Her maids were also in a panic. Some squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and some fled in all directions.
At that moment, An Lingrong's trusted confidant, Xiao Luzi, arrived with his men, holding torches and illuminating the surroundings. Quick-witted and quick-handed, Xiao Luzi grabbed Xiao Yunzi, who was about to flee, and shouted, "How dare you, who dares to play tricks in the palace!"
Xiao Luzi said sternly, "How dare this audacious servant play tricks in the palace! Come, bring him before the Emperor!"
