The Legend of Zhen Huan Reborn: Overthrowing Zhen Huan to Become the Queen Mother
Chapter 53: A Trip to the Old Summer Palace 2: An's Father is Convicted
"What happened to Miss Qian?" Seeing that An Lingrong's tears had not yet dried, Fu Qiu asked hurriedly, while calling Jing'er to serve tea to An Lingrong.
Suochun quietly poked his head out from the inner room and went to pass on the message.
"Your Majesty, Consort Qian is here. She looks very anxious, and her eyes are swollen."
A lazy nasal sound came out of Jiang Ruyin's throat, and Suochun already understood.
"My Lady Qian, our queen is now getting ready. Please sit down for a while."
An Lingrong nodded in a daze, sniffed again, and rubbed her arms helplessly.
The two of them turned and went into the inner room. Suo Chun pulled Fu Qiu over and said, "It looks like he came here with a request."
"Well, I probably can't tell."
Suochun nudged Fuqiu's waist and asked, "Guess what it is?"
Fu Qiu was annoyed, "You little stinky girl, why don't you go and help the queen get up instead of pestering me."
Suochun hugged Fuqiu's waist and said, "I have seen it, your hair is not messy. Besides, I like Sister Fuqiu~"
Although the two of them were whispering quietly, the sound of their clothes rubbing against each other still reached Jiang Ruyin's ears. She stretched lazily and said, "If you continue to pester your sister Fu Qiu, I will promise you to be her concubine."
Suo Chun immediately clasped her hands together, leaned forward, and said with a pious look, "I am willing to marry Sister Fu Qiu, even if it means being a concubine!"
Fu Qiu pinched Suo Chun's raised buttocks and said, "Go away and don't cause trouble for the Empress."
Suochun jumped and slipped away.
Fu Qiu combed his hair carefully with a wet comb, and carefully placed his bangs on his forehead. He then tightened the pearl hairpins and gold and jade on his head, making it look like he had just finished washing and combing his hair.
When she saw Jiang Ruyin, An Lingrong felt like she had seen a life-saving straw. She could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
She took two shaky steps forward, not daring to actually touch Jiang Ruyin, and stopped halfway between her knees and her arms. She said sadly, "My Lady, my father is in prison, and his life is in danger!"
Jiang Ruyin knew the outcome of this matter, so she felt very confident. She said sympathetically, "What happened? Please tell me in detail."
An Lingrong sobbed violently for a few times before she regained her composure and began to tell the story.
After telling the story, An Lingrong felt a pang in her nose again and was about to cry again.
Jiang Ruyin caressed An Lingrong's cheek with her handkerchief. "Poor little girl, I know what's going on. Just be at ease. Don't keep begging and fall into their trap."
An Lingrong was so surprised that she ignored the formalities and directly covered Jiang Ruyin's hand. "Your Majesty, do you really have a solution? This, this, Sister Mei can't do it. Can Your Majesty really save my father?"
Jiang Ruyin raised an eyebrow and withdrew her hand. "So, you're not the first one to come to me?"
An Lingrong tugged at the sleeve of her loose palace gown and explained, "When the news arrived, I was embroidering a bellyband for Sister Mei's child, so I didn't think of the Empress first." Finally, she added, "Sister Mei was persuaded to return by Eunuch Su, and Sister Wan wanted to take me to ask the Empress for help. I was thinking of the Empress, so I came to ask for help."
Jiang Ruyin pretended to be lonely, "Now that you say that, I just realized that Concubine Hui has a child, but my Hongxuan doesn't."
An Lingrong seemed to have noticed Jiang Ruyin's teasing. She knelt down with a wronged look on her face, looking up and saying, "I have done a lot for Your Majesty, but the Sixth Prince is so precious, and I didn't know how big he is now, so I didn't..."
Jiang Ruyin chuckled, "You seem aggrieved. It's really a waste of your time to show me this look. Don't worry about this matter. Just wait for the result."
An Lingrong was doubtful and asked boldly, "This is about the Northwest Army's rations. Even Sister Mei doesn't dare to speak up. What is Your Majesty going to do? I'm afraid Your Majesty Hua won't let this matter go!"
An Lingrong was aware of Concubine Hua's intimidation, but she couldn't just leave her parents and Concubine Xiao alone. Jiang Ruyin's words of peace of mind made An Lingrong feel both relieved and suspicious.
Jiang Ruyin shrugged. "Although this matter is of great importance, your father is not the main culprit. At most, he is just a small shrimp implicated. There is a war in the northwest. Even for the sake of his own reputation, the emperor would not kill people in the rear. The emperor is a wise ruler."
Yes, a wise emperor, but not a wise ruler. Even as a bystander, Jiang Ruyin could see through the emperor's face.
An Lingrong was not annoyed when her father was called a small fry. She suddenly understood and looked at Jiang Ruyin with a different look.
Looking at An Lingrong's bright eyes, Jiang Ruyin said, "Please sit down for a while. I'm going out for a while."
An Lingrong immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, I too..."
Jiang Ruyin pushed it back. "You may have heard about my past. No matter what your relationship with me is like in your heart, to me, you are just Qian Changxing."
An Lingrong blinked, wondering if this meant there was more to it than just this...
"Oh, right, you said that when Concubine Hui went to look for the Emperor, the Emperor was discussing the matter of the food robbed."
An Lingrong nodded.
Jiang Ruyin curled her lips, "The Emperor is still discussing it. I am not as important as the Empress and Concubine Hua, but I haven't received any news yet. You actually already know?"
An Lingrong was stunned and turned her head abruptly to look behind her.
Baozhi's eyes wandered around, and finally she looked at An Lingrong seriously, "When I heard about this, I was anxious. When I saw the young lady was about to leave, I followed her directly. Baojuan didn't follow."
An Lingrong bit her lip and stood up suddenly, "I'll go take care of her right now!"
Jiang Ruyin patted An Lingrong's shoulders, which were shaking with anger. "Even if we deal with her, there will be thousands of hers. It's better to keep her so that the people behind her will see everything you do."
An Lingrong calmed herself down and dug her nails into her palms. "I dare not betray your Majesty's kindness. I will return now."
Ru Guhan was very close to An Lingrong and Zhen Huan's residences. As soon as she stepped out of the main hall, An Lingrong's eyes were red. She said word by word, "Since I entered the palace, she would never let go of a bite of my food. I never thought she would do it so soon."
The sound was too soft, like a whisper. If Baozhi hadn't been close to her, she wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.
Baozhi supported An Lingrong with one hand, and An Lingrong held it tightly. Baozhi felt pain, but she still reminded him quietly, "My lady, don't let anyone see any clues.
Bao Que was guarding the door and immediately saw An Lingrong and her servant, "My lady, you're back!"
Baojuan is only fourteen years old this year, and her young face is full of heartache.
Baozhi could feel An Lingrong's grip loosen, and hurriedly said, "My lady, you've been busy all day. Please sit down and rest."
Then he asked casually, "Hey? Where's Baojuan?"
Bao Que replied, "Sister Bao Juan went to the backyard."
As soon as An Lingrong sat down, Baojuan poked her head out the door and asked, "What's going on, young lady?"
