An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

She instructed the young lady to spread the rouge on the garden path leading to the cold palace, and looked for the end of this path to be the window of the cold palace where Concubine Hua lived. An Lingrong coldly left that unattended free place. , no sound of laughter could be heard, and intermittent sighs and coughs could be heard occasionally.

Concubine Hua's tuberculosis has been going on for a while. Didn't the emperor send an imperial physician over? Didn't Nian Gengyao know?

An Lingrong's heart was beating hard. The younger brother did things neatly and quickly, and he finished the work quickly.

His eyes were clear, without any impurities, but they were so determined. An Lingrong's heart warmed, and he whispered: "Let's go back! My dear, do you have a family? Where is your family?"

The young man shook his head: "Back to An, the servant is an orphan. He has not known his parents' names since he was a child. From now on, the servant will be the slave's master."

An Lingrong said: "I don't know why, but the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a trustworthy person. Our lives are tied to the same rope. From now on, if I am alive, I will definitely be able to protect you with all my strength." Peace, but if I fall down one day, you have to protect yourself first, you know?"

The young lady knelt down and said, "I will definitely protect you."

An Lingrong chuckled lightly, regardless of his ability, these words were so comfortable to hear.

The moonlight was like water, shining on the little boy's face, and he turned blue. Maybe it was the first time he violated the palace rules. If he was the main culprit, he became an accomplice.

An Lingrong comforted him and said: "My dear, everything happens for a reason. It's not convenient for me to explain too much. In short, if people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them. Just remember this!"

The young man nodded and didn't say much.

The two people walked along the winding path, using the cover of dense forests on both sides of the path to walk all the way back.

Under the wall of Cuihe Hall, the young lady stopped and said, "Ms. An, just ask your servants to handle things like this in the future. The empress is still pregnant. For the sake of the child, don't get too much blood!"

An Lingrong stopped and said solemnly: "My child must be exposed to turbulent waves before he is born. A strong-blooded seven-foot man cannot be raised in calm waves. If he does not take the initiative to attack, he will perish passively."

The young man was frightened by her low shout. He looked serious and whistled slightly. There was no sound from the small stool on the other side of the wall, but he could hear the sound of a foreign object moving. Listening to the sound, the ladder was set up. , the young couple helped An Lingrong climb up the city wall, then hung the ladder upside down from the outer wall, put it on the inner wall, and helped An Lingrong to the ground carefully.

In the interlaced light and shadow of black and white, stood a tall young man with his hands behind his back, exuding a light and ascetic aura.

When An Lingrong saw this familiar figure, she couldn't help being shocked. She pretended to be calm and said: "King Qinghe, you broke into Cuihe's rear courtyard in the middle of the night. What are you trying to do? If the emperor finds out, I wonder how King Qinghe would explain it?"

A smile appeared at the corner of King Qinghe's lips, and he said calmly: "Li Gui, the emperor must have never known that Li Gui has the habit of climbing the city wall at night! If the emperor knew that Li Gui climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, would he think that Li Gui had the habit of climbing out of the city wall at night? Are you having a private meeting with the man at night? If the emperor is really suspicious, how will Mr. Li explain it? "

An Lingrong's heart was beating fast. She protected herself so tightly. How did King Qinghe know about it?

An Lingrong immediately realized that the situation was not as simple as she imagined, and King Qinghe could not be intimidated by a few words.

She cleared her throat and said: "King Qinghe, let's not talk about your intrusion into the backyard of Cuihe Palace at night and my climbing over the wall. If anything happens to this palace, it will also implicate King Qinghe and his guard." It’s a crime of dereliction of duty. Then don’t mention this matter again, and King Qinghe please leave the palace quickly!”

King Qinghe said: "If you have anything to do, please notify me and don't put yourself at risk." The harsh tone made An Lingrong feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Stop! This is what you said, King Qinghe. I need to wash my feet now. Go and get me a basin of foot-washing water! The water temperature should be just right, neither cold nor hot. Move quickly, I can't walk on my toes. My head hurts."

King Qinghe frowned slightly, flicked his sleeves and robes, and said in a cold voice: "I never bring water for women to wash their feet. I only do what men should do! Such things as women and Confucians should be left to your palace eunuchs The palace maid will do it, and I will only obey the emperor’s orders.”

"Really loyal."

An Lingrong looked ridiculed.

"Lord Li, please rest early and don't catch cold at night. After the plague is over, the emperor will probably be able to visit you." King Qinghe looked calm and calm, ignoring her sarcastic tone.

An Lingrong only heard the slight sound of robes coming from his ears, and the figure of King Qinghe rose out of thin air, raising his arms in the air, and his two large robes floated in the wind, making them very elegant.

"Young master, I will protect you secretly. This young man should be a trustworthy person, especially after tonight, I pulled him into the water. From now on, he will be in the same boat as us!" Qin Sanyue the sound of.

"Well, go to bed quickly. Let me keep vigil tonight." An Lingrong warned.

An Lingrong slept peacefully all night, and when she got up the next morning, she pricked up her ears and paid attention to the movements around her. She was extremely alert and had a good appetite. She had a bowl of millet porridge and three or four non-repeating pastries for breakfast.

Since becoming pregnant, she has found that her appetite has improved a lot, and the portions she eats have also increased day by day. Her waist is protruding, which is not difficult to see if you look closely, her calves and face are slightly swollen, her feet have increased by one size, and her neck and armpits are His skin began to change color, from the original yellow skin to different shades of black and gray. It was not completely black, but half black, which was very ugly.

It is not advisable to wear heavy make-up when pregnant. She wore no makeup and wore a bare face. Her dark skin and undistinguished facial features made her look haggard, making her look at least five years older.

An Lingrong was not worried about this. She could feel the movement of the fetus in her belly, and a sense of wonder came with it. The child thrived in her body. She experienced the feeling of being a mother for the first time, and a sense of happiness came naturally.

But the silence didn't last long. The palace door was slapped and made a messy noise. King Qinghe's voice was clear and loud.

"Lord Li, what about the parrots in your palace? They were given to you as playthings by me. Why are none of them missing now?"

"King Qinghe, the parrot is probably infected with the plague."

"You, Mr. Li, are you so heartless of love?"

After a while, the sound outside the door sounded again.

"Lord Li, please open the palace gate?" King Qinghe asked again.

An Ling couldn't tolerate it any longer and asked his younger brother to open the palace door. King Qinghe leaned back against the door and almost fell over. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and his whole body bent at an unimaginable angle. Turn over and land firmly.

"Come in and talk!" An Lingrong said softly.
