An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The gold embroidered Xiapei on Wan Guiren's body is extremely complex and gorgeous.

The emperor was wearing a bright yellow nine-dragon satin robe. He gently put his hand on Guan Guiren's right shoulder, then held her hand and walked forward. The two of them walked slowly to the front of the palace.

After receiving everyone's blessings and going through a complicated process, the canonization ceremony was finally completed.

The empress came to congratulate and witness, but Concubine Hua was nowhere to be seen.

An Lingrong rubbed his sore and numb body and congratulated Wan Bin.

Concubine Wan warned that everyone should take care of each other and take care of each other during the days when she cannot leave Sui Yuxuan.

When Zhen Huan walks, she can't help but caress her belly with an extremely slight tone of voice.

It was as if he was afraid that if his voice was louder or his steps were too heavy, it would alarm the fetus in his belly.

She is still less than three months pregnant, which shows how much she attaches importance to this child.

Not long after the canonization ceremony, Wan Bin had another extremely lively birthday.

By the Taiye Pool, the lights are brightly lit, and the cruise ship shuttles among thousands of lotus flowers in bloom.

Amid the grand fireworks and the cheering cheers of thousands of people, Wan Bin attracted everyone's attention and beamed with joy.

This fireworks ceremony was carefully prepared by the Emperor, Prince Guo.

Warm sunlight poured in through the lark window leaves, gently covering An Lingrong's thin body.

She leaned over the embroidery table and thought carefully in her heart:

This emperor, could he really love so many concubines?

As she saw with her own eyes, there is a difference between liking, loving, and pampering.

The person who is loved by thousands of people is only her, and only her.

Concubine Wan is the one who is at the forefront of the emperor's heart.

Your Majesty, do you love Chun Yuan or Wan Bin?

Can he tell the difference? Half is memories and pain, half is freshness and beauty, and these two people are so similar.

An Lingrong boiled the good Tieguanyin and read the book he "borrowed" from Wangui's concubine Hui.

She doesn't like reading, but Hui Bin and Guan Bin both love books and can't put them down.

Those who are close to Zhu are red!

The two of them always made fun of her with allusions to famous people in the book, consciously or unconsciously.

She didn't understand the origin of the allusion, and even trying to figure it out on her own was ambiguous.

Looking through the cabinet full of history, classics, and art of war.

She finally stole a forbidden book from Hui Bin's bookcase.

It is a book about gods and demons.

Although it is a banned book, the title of the book is dignified: "The Goddess Plays with the Sword in the Qing Dynasty".

There are also detailed publisher and author names.

An Lingrong was getting excited about reading, when the little stool hurriedly reported that it was the Emperor Xuan An Lingrong who was going to the Queen Mother's Palace.

In the Queen Mother's Palace, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen, Concubine Hua, Concubine Li, Concubine Cao, Concubine Hui, Concubine Duan and many other concubines were there.

Concubine Hui's face turned pale and she was kneeling on the ground without saying a word. The emperor was sitting at the head of the throne.

The concubines sat on both sides according to their rank, while Concubine Hua stood on the right side of Shen Meizhuang.

Hua Fei used a different light color for her eyebrows and lips, and her thick eyelashes drooped with a light shadow, looking calm and solemn.

The emperor wore a golden hat, woven with the purest light elements, as bright as the sun and as bright as fire.

The emperor said: "Concubine Hua, what else do you have to say? Concubine Hui was poisoned, and the source of the drug was the cotton silk you gave her. You almost killed her."

Concubine Hua turned around and looked into the emperor's eyes, showing no timidity at all.

Concubine Hua said slowly: "Your Majesty, you have wronged my concubines. They have never done this. They must have framed me."

"Su Peisheng, bring the things in." Su Peisheng led someone in, Wu Changhai from the Inspection Department.

Wu Changhai placed a pile of brocade on the table, then cut off a small piece of cloth, soaked it in water, and added the poison. Soon the water settled into black purple. He took a test tube and dropped a few drops into the food plate of the caged white mouse. , for a moment, the mouse convulsed all over, opened its mouth and eyes, and died in pain.

Concubine Hua's ink-like eyes flashed with a sharp look as she stared at Concubine Hui. An Lingrong couldn't help but think of the extremely dangerous tigers that pounced on their prey on the grassland.

Hui Bin sat down, the anger still lingering in her eyes, her teeth clenched, and she was silent for a moment before turning her head.

Hui Bin's eyes were red and her hatred could not be hidden: "Hua Fei, I have done so many things to disgrace Hua Fei, why do you want to put me to death?"

Concubine Hua glared angrily and said: "Hui concubine, I said I didn't harm you, but I didn't harm you. Now I am the one who is most suspected. However, if I said I didn't harm someone, then I didn't harm you."

Concubine Hua knelt on the ground and refused to admit her mistake. The Queen Mother and the Empress also criticized Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua simply pretended to be dead and closed her eyes.

The emperor said: "Concubine Hua has committed a serious crime. From today on, she will be relieved of her power as co-president of the Sixth Palace. She will be confined to Yikun Palace and hand-write thirty volumes of scriptures every day."

The emperor helped Hui Bin up with his own hands. Hui Bin's eyes were a little swollen, and the sharp lines on her face were much softer.

On the surface, the situation was temporarily calmed down. Concubine Hua was banned from the Yikun Palace, and Concubine Hui also achieved temporary safety.

In Xianfu Palace, An Lingrong and Hui Bin were chatting over snacks and fragrant tea.

"No matter how the Emperor and the Queen Mother asked, I always insisted that Concubine Hua was the culprit, and she was indeed the one who rewarded those silk brocades."

"Don't worry, the Spirit-killing Grass is colorless and odorless, and there's no way to detect it."

It turned out that Concubine Hui insisted that the poison was passed on to her by Concubine Hua, and that the culprit was those silk brocades. An Lingrong was a master in making poisons, so he helped her again, using the medicinal herb "Zhu Ling Cao" on some of the brocades. "It is colorless and odorless, but after being touched by water, the toxin will be quickly inhaled by the skin and spread to the limbs.

The "Zhu Ling Grass" was discovered by An Lingrong in the virgin forest behind Zhu Ling Mountain when he went to the Old Summer Palace with the emperor to escape the summer heat. There were only three plants of this killing grass. One was used to dye cloth, and the other two were secretly given to Empress Li, who secretly planted them in the back garden of Yikun Palace.

An Lingrong thought that the source of Hui Bin's drugs was bowls and chopsticks, which were gifts from the Queen Mother. However, the Queen was also an extremely close person to the Queen Mother. She was always with the Queen Mother. In addition to Hui Bin, several aunts and eunuchs in the Queen Mother's palace were the Queen. . It is also possible that the queen framed her behind her back and tried to win over her in front of her, using some means secretly.

Hui Bin was silent and tried to control herself: "But Concubine Hua refuses to admit her guilt. Fortunately, the Emperor is wise."

However, happy times are always short-lived.

Half a month later, the war in the west became urgent and Concubine Hua was confined in the palace. Her brother Nian Gengyao received the news.

The concubine's canonization ceremony and birthday were the most extravagant expenditures for a concubine in the palace in this dynasty.

Nian Gengyao was in the west. He retreated without fighting. Without sending a single soldier, he retreated and gave up thirty miles of land.

They made urgent memorials for eight hundred miles a day, and were retreating steadily. They were in urgent need of food, grass, and troops.

There was an uproar in the palace, and the ministers wrote one memorial after another, all of which were complaints against Nian Gengyao, and they all asked the emperor to send someone to replace Nian Gengyao.

The emperor suffered from a splitting headache and specially announced Hui's concubine. The Queen Mother intervened and Concubine Hua was released from the ban.

The day after Concubine Hua regained her power as co-president of the Sixth Palace, Nian Gengyao sent news of the victory of the war.
