An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong underestimated the power of the emperor and how cruel the emperor was to irrelevant people. She thought that because of Zhou Xinruo's talents, the emperor would look at her differently, but no, the emperor actually jailed Zhou Xinruo overnight. He was also tortured until his hands and fingers were dripping with blood. An Lingrong guessed that maybe it was because Zhou Xinruo's poem about snow plum blossoms had tarnished the white moonlight in his heart.

Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the defenseless Zhou Xinruo may have had some luck in her heart. The emperor is a man, and as long as men have no reason not to like beautiful women, there are exceptions to everything.

An Lingrong felt that the emperor was too cruel. Although Zhou Xinruo was used as a pawn, she was a weak and defenseless woman, so the emperor had no mercy for her.

An Lingrong was still defending the emperor in her heart: the emperor was also provoked by Nian Gengyao. Nian Gengyao was ill and recuperating, and the emperor's anger was too strong to vent. At this time, Zhou Xinruo's incident undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

An Lingrong stood at the entrance of the park outside Cuihe Hall. The autumn wind was bleak, and her eyes were full of dead branches and leaves, flying to the ground and scattering all over her body.

The next day, on the way out of the palace to see the queen, Xia Ruchun took An Lingrong and mysteriously took a turn to the imperial garden. Through Xia Ruchun, she learned that there was a buzz in the palace: An Guiren didn't know where he came from. He got a low-class show girl, some said she was picked from a brothel, some said she was a distant relative of An Guiren's family. He said An Guiren himself was not favored, so he thought of ways to choose a girl with good looks to seduce him. The emperor also said that the woman was not a virgin and that the palace guard sand on her body was forged. As a result, she was rejected by the emperor and imprisoned. Over the past dynasties, very few harem women have been imprisoned. Everyone is spreading the word that An Guiren is now It's over, maybe one day he will be punished by the emperor and sent to the cold palace.

Rumors spread in the palace, and An Lingrong finally realized that she had been tricked by the emperor. Qin Sanyue also said at that time, why was this new and inexplicable woman not given to other palaces, but had to be given to her? Cui Hedian came, and now it seems that the emperor has already thought about this play.

An Lingrong secretly gritted his teeth. Who said that the emperor was magnanimous, caring about the people of the world, and treating all the concubines in the harem? The emperor will not use people as pawns?

Xia Ruchun pushed An Lingrong's arm and said, "Mr. An Gui, I heard that this new palace maid was tortured in prison. She is very capable of handling things. She hasn't confessed yet. She said it was because of some lyrics or music. Mr. An Gui, this is Did you write the lyrics and music?”

What a mess! An Lingrong's head is as big as an ox! It's getting more and more amazing, it's so outrageous!

An Lingrong felt that even if he had ten mouths, there would be no way to explain it.

Xia Ruchun poked her again and said, "Mr. An Gui, why don't you go and see her? She is the person you recommended to come in. If she dies in prison, how will she explain to her family? By the way, what is going on in her family?" Origin? Women who can enter the palace all have rich or noble families. You are in trouble now! You said that it would be better to live in peace if you have less favor from the emperor. Now find someone to help you fight for favor. This People have to be reliable, but now that people are unreliable, the risk will all be borne by you, Angui."

An Lingrong felt like there were ten thousand grasses growing in her heart, and her heart was full of mud.

An Lingrong said displeasedly: "Xia Ruchun, shut up, things are not as simple as you think, the person is not recommended by me, the person is..."

Can she tell that the emperor summoned this person? The emperor specially summoned a woman and gave her the title of palace maid, just because of her status?

Isn’t it true that there are no more than three hundred taels of silver in this place? It’s getting darker and darker as you draw it!

In that case, go and see her! An Lingrong took Qin Sanyue to visit Zhou Xinruo in prison. She was wearing prison clothes, which were stained with blood, which was shocking.

An Lingrong sighed quietly and said, "Qin Sanyue, go and open the cell door."

She took the long key from the hands of the little eunuch guarding the prison and opened the lock with a clang. The lock fell to the ground with a clang, waking up Zhou Xinruo who had fainted. She struggled to open her red and swollen eyes and sat up with her upper body supported. got up.

An Lingrong said warmly: "Don't move, let me check your wound." Qin Sanyue carried the small medicine box and placed it at An Lingrong's feet.

The prison was damp and filled with an unpleasant smell. An Lingrong sniffed and felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Xinruo was also whipped, and the blood oozing from her back was scarred. The rotten flesh and clothes were stuck together and could not be torn apart.

An Lingrong had no choice but to put medicine on her clothes and let the medicine seep through the clothes.

Zhou Xinruo stretched out ten fingers. The knuckles were red and swollen, twice as big as before. An Lingrong applied the medicine very gently, but Zhou Xinruo still grimaced in pain.

An Lingrong didn't say a word, nor did he ask the emperor why he tortured her and how she was imprisoned. What happened in the Yangxin Hall?

After she checked that Zhou Xinruo's body was fine, she packed the medicine box and stood up to leave. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinruo raised her red and swollen hand and dragged her clothes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little Master, why don't you ask me, why?" If it becomes like this, why does the emperor treat me like this?"

Qin Sanyue used a little force to pull off Zhou Xinruo's finger and said: "Zhou Xinruo, you have to make one thing clear. You are just staying in our Cuihe Hall. Don't bring trouble to my little master. From now on, Don't call Mr. An Gui the mistress of your family, understand? How did you enter the palace and why the emperor punished you? You must know it yourself. The mistress is still a bystander, so how can he take the blame for you? "

An Lingrong stopped Qin Sanyue and said: "Okay, that's enough. It's useless to say more at this time. I'm just doing my best to treat you. Your survival is the best reward for me. Don't you agree? It doesn’t matter that I am your mistress. What’s important is that the emperor has to trust you. As for me, the news has spread throughout the palace. Xiaoruo is the person I recommended to the palace. It doesn’t matter. The emperor just knows it. .”

Zhou Xinruo hesitated to speak, her eyes showed a hint of regret, her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help crying.

An Lingrong took Qin Sanyue and left without looking back, and this scene happened to be watched carefully by the emperor who came with Su Peisheng.

An Lingrong passed by the emperor and was only slightly blessed. He didn't even say a word of blessing to the emperor. The emperor looked at An Lingrong's walking back thoughtfully and held the corners of his lips. However, he did not He did not go to visit Zhou Xinruo, but followed An Lingrong back to the Yangxin Hall.

On the way back to Cuihe Hall, Qin Sanyue asked: "Little master, why don't you wait a moment? I want to tell the truth when I see Zhou Xinruo."

An Lingrong smiled slightly and said: "Don't be anxious. If she wants to speak, she will naturally speak. If I press her in a hurry, it will be profitable. Now she needs help from me, just wait a moment."

Qin Sanyue smiled and said: "Little Master, are you using that trick: playing hard to get?"

An Lingrong frowned slightly and said: "What do you want? What do you indulge in? Do I have the leisure time? She can say whatever she wants. I won't stop her if she doesn't want to. If she dies in prison, I will be left alone. .”

Qin Sanyue immediately closed his mouth, walked out of the yard quietly, jumped up on the wall, and went to watch the night.

And An Lingrong was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, having trouble falling asleep again.
