I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Qiuyue rushed into Jingyang Palace in a hurry, her steps were messy and her breathing was rapid.

An Lingrong was leisurely sipping her tea. Upon hearing this, she put down her teacup and frowned, "Why are you so panicked?"

Qiuyue raised her head, her eyes full of anxiety, her voice trembling slightly: "Empress Wan is in the Imperial Garden..."

"Zhen Huan?" An Lingrong's tone suddenly became stern, her eyes sharp. "What did she do again?"

Qiuyue swallowed and clenched her hands into fists: "She...she told Concubine Shen a terrible story."

An Lingrong narrowed her eyes slightly and leaned forward: "What story?"

"The story of human...human pig." Qiuyue's voice was almost inaudible, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

An Lingrong stood up suddenly, knocking over the teacup and spilling the tea onto the floor. Her face suddenly changed, and her voice was filled with disbelief: "How dare she..."

"Lady Shen was frightened..." Qiuyue hesitated and lowered her head.

An Lingrong quickly walked up to Qiuyue and asked anxiously, "How scared were you?"

Qiuyue raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "Crazy... Lady Shen has been frightened out of her mind."

"This...this Zhen Huan!" she said gritting her teeth.

"Empress, what should we do?" Qiuyue asked cautiously.

An Lingrong took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She stood up straight, her eyes determined, "Go... go see Concubine Shen."

Although her voice was calm, she couldn't hide the anger in her eyes.

An Lingrong thought to herself, "Zhen Huan, oh Zhen Huan, you're not as kind and harmless as you appear. This time, Concubine Shen hasn't done anything to harm you, yet you've treated her so cruelly."

Your true colors are finally coming out.

An Lingrong walked quickly into the Yanxi Palace, her eyes piercing the surroundings. Her voice was urgent and high, echoing through the palace: "Where is Concubine Shen?"

The maids looked at each other, their eyes flashing with panic and anxiety. Finally, a brave maid pointed tremblingly at the bed.

I saw Concubine Shen curled up in the corner of the bed, her hands tightly hugging her knees, her whole body trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

"Don't... don't touch me..." Shen Guiren murmured to herself, her voice weak and broken.

An Lingrong stretched out her hand, trying to comfort Concubine Shen, but it was slammed open.

"I don't want to be a human pig... please..." Shen Guiren's voice was filled with tears, and tears kept falling like pearls with broken strings.

An Lingrong took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Her voice softened, like a spring breeze. "Mrs. Shen, please listen to me." She slowly squatted down, looking at Mister Shen at eye level.

Concubine Shen raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and tears welling up in her eyes. Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"No one would turn you into a human pig; that's just a story," An Lingrong said softly, reaching out to stroke Concubine Shen's hair. Her movements were gentle, as if she were handling a precious piece of porcelain.

"Really?" Shen Guiren's voice trembled like a frightened deer.

An Lingrong nodded firmly and gave a warm smile: "I promise."

Concubine Shen finally relaxed, her body stopped trembling, and the fear in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Suddenly, she threw herself into An Lingrong's arms and burst into tears. An Lingrong patted her back gently, her eyes full of pity.

The palace maids who were watching looked at each other, and some of them secretly wiped their eyes.

Yangxindian

Su Peisheng hurried into the Yangxin Palace with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Su Peisheng knelt down respectfully and saluted: "Your servant pays homage to the emperor."

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Su Peisheng sharply: "What's the matter?"

Su Peisheng lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, something just happened in the Imperial Garden..."

He reported to the emperor in detail how Concubine Wan frightened Concubine Shen by telling her the story of the human pig.

The emperor's expression darkened as Su Peisheng continued his story. He stood up abruptly, strode to the window, and clenched his fists.

"Zhen Huan..." The emperor gritted his teeth and pronounced the name, with a hint of disappointment and anger in his eyes.

He turned around and looked at Su Peisheng with a sharp gaze: "How could she do such a thing?"

Su Peisheng knelt on the ground, not daring to look up: "I don't know..."

The Emperor sighed heavily, his eyes filled with mixed emotions: "How can the current Zhen Huan be even a little bit like the Wan Wan she was back then?"

He walked back to the dragon throne and sat down, his fingers tapping the armrest unconsciously: "What a pity for that face..."

Su Peisheng raised his head cautiously, and seeing the disappointment and regret in the emperor's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Emperor's brow furrowed, his mind racing with thoughts. He remembered An Lingrong's understanding, and a warm feeling welled up inside him. "Rong'er, Rong'er, you always come through in the most crucial moments to help me resolve my worries." The Emperor secretly rejoiced that An Lingrong was there, comforting the frightened Concubine Shen in time.

His thoughts turned to the Fucha family. That family was powerful, and if they learned their daughter had suffered such a shock in the palace, they would surely not let it go. The emperor felt a pang of anxiety, imagining the Fucha family making a big fuss about this. That would lead to another round of fierce competition in the court, a truly irritating experience.

As the emperor was concentrating on reviewing memorials, a eunuch quietly entered the imperial study and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, General Nian requests an audience."

The emperor raised his head, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and waved his hand: "Announce."

Nian Gengyao strode into the imperial study, his boots making a steady sound on the floor. He knelt on one knee and looked up at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Nian Gengyao's voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the spacious imperial study.

The emperor put down his red brush and looked at Nian Gengyao sharply. He leaned forward slightly, his tone full of curiosity: "What is it?"

Nian Gengyao took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly. His voice was filled with passion, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I implore the Emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter of Concubine Nian. She has always been loyal and devoted, and she does not deserve this injustice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became tense.

The emperor's brows were furrowed, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes: "I have already made a decision on this matter, why do you bring it up again?"

Nian Gengyao did not back down, his voice becoming more resolute: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is my sister. I cannot bear to see her suffer such an injustice."

The emperor stood up suddenly, put his hands on the table, and looked at me with a sharp gaze: "Are you threatening me?"

Nian Gengyao lowered his head, but his tone remained firm: "I dare not. I am only helping the emperor to relieve his worries."

The atmosphere in the imperial study was heavy, and the two men were at a stalemate. After a long moment, the emperor sighed heavily and slowly sat back on the throne.

"Forget it." The emperor waved his hand, his tone filled with helplessness, "Just as you said, I will restore Concubine Hua's position."

Nian Gengyao was overjoyed and kowtowed immediately: "I thank you on behalf of Concubine Hua!"
