An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

This man was waiting outside the door day and night. He was probably bored because he stayed there for too long, and he had a bad temper.

"No, I told the emperor that we will only stay outside the palace gate." King Qinghe said humbly.

"Come in!" An Lingrong said impatiently.

As soon as she said this, she and the young couple around her were shocked, and An Lingrong's temper became a lot more irritable.

"You dare to speak to me in such a tone, Mr. Li, or I will report you to the emperor."

An Lingrong found it strange that King Qinghe was arguing with her! Since becoming pregnant, this temper has become increasingly difficult to control.

When King Qinghe arrived at the Cuihe Hall, he became even more presumptuous. He crossed his legs and sat in the front yard of the palace. He asked the waiter to serve him tea and the little stool to beat his shoulders and back.

After waiting for a while, King Qinghe asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, something big happened in the palace today. Mrs. Xihua is crazy! I heard that she scratched herself until there were blood marks all over her body. That long armor , the fingernails scratched out bloody streaks one after another on the neck, hands and legs. Imperial Physician Wen went to take a look and said that he found three cats in the cold palace. No matter where Mrs. Xihua went, the cats would always be there. Follow her."

An Lingrong said calmly. The moonlight was like water, and it shone on Xiao Jizi'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 remembered what he had said to comfort the little boy: Little girl, everything happens for a reason, and it is 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!

She originally thought that Xiao Jizi would be nervous and scared, but Xiao Jizi didn't show any flaws. He stood there expressionless, his calmness making people suspicious, and An Lingrong cast an approving look at him.

An Lingrong said calmly: "Really? Then doesn't she deserve it?"

King Qinghe saw that he could not attract An Lingrong's attention, and his interest suddenly doubled. He sighed quietly: "The most poisonous thing in the world is a woman's heart! The scene when Mrs. Xihua asked Zhou Ninghai to pin Chun Changzai down in Qianli Pond is still in his mind. At present, fortunately, I happened to pass by and saved Chun Chang's life. Now I want to ask the truth: Where did Mr. Li go last night? If we talk about the people in this palace who make incense and medicine, Mr. Li is second to none. ”

Haha, Chun'er can swim, so why should you save her?

An Lingrong said coldly: "Everyone in the world is suspicious, but you have to provide evidence, and your words are unfounded. I can still let King Qinghe be charged with slander."

King Qinghe smiled calmly: "Okay, okay, Mr. Li, you are so cruel! Madam Xihua is crazy, she keeps shouting, don't pester me, I will never give you soup or medicine again, I will never let you take Bizi Decoction again, and I don’t want you to die, but who told you to expose your affair.”

An Lingrong stood up suddenly, her face was frighteningly white, and she asked in a cold voice: "King Qinghe, please tell me clearly, what else did Concubine Hua say?"

King Qinghe was so frightened by An Lingrong's terrifying tone that he did not dare to say any more.

All this was just as An Lingrong expected. Rumors were spread in the palace to cause trouble, and the imaginary plague became true.

This unexplained plague swept across like a tidal wave. Many female relatives in the palace fell ill, and Dr. Wen was exhausted to deal with it. After several months of hard work, the epidemic was finally under control.

The queen also had to listen to the Queen Mother's teachings and hand-copy scriptures to pray for the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the hand-written scriptures sent by the queen to the Queen Mother's Palace were collected by Jianqiu into the hand-written scriptures of Shen Meizhuang. The pages turned by Shen Meizhuang were After quenching the poison, Shen Meizhuang saved her life. She was greatly shocked. She moved out of the Queen Mother's Palace and returned to Xianfu Palace, but she closed the door to thank guests and saw no one.

I woke up in the middle of the night, with lingering fragrance, and vaguely heard the sound of someone stepping on the tiles on the roof. It was probably King Qinghe who was patrolling at night again! An Lingrong felt extremely sad when he heard the news.

An Lingrong's belly has been swollen for more than seven months. The days passed so fast. Every time she went to bed, she couldn't straighten her waist and legs, and her whole body was sore. But even though she was tired and the emperor hadn't come to visit her for a long time, she still felt sad in her heart. The joy is greater than the sadness.

It's late autumn in a flash, and the sycamore trees are in full bloom, withered yellow leaves falling like snow flakes, covering the ground in thick layers.

An Lingrong's belly was as big as an ox, and she felt tired after walking a few steps. Qiaoyu was always by her side, supporting her to bask in the sun in the courtyard. At this time, King Qinghe no longer had to avoid suspicion and kept watch outside the courtyard every day.

On this day, the sun was shining, and it was a rare warm weather in autumn.

The emperor brought Su Peisheng and Dr. Wen to visit An Lingrong. An Lingrong saw a flash of bright yellow flashing through the light from the screen window lattice and flashing in from the palace door. She couldn't help but feel surprised and happy. She could hardly hide her surprise. Her stomach was full, and she was so happy that after many days, the emperor finally thought of exploring her.

what to do? Listening to the dense footsteps outside the door getting closer and closer, she dragged Qiaoyu to the bed, kicked off her shoes three or two times, climbed onto the bed, and asked Qiaoyu to cover herself thickly with the brocade quilt.

The emperor did not wear a veil or other protection. He came up close and looked at An Lingrong carefully.

An Lingrong smelled the familiar and warm breath approaching, and she felt angry again. The emperor had left her hanging in the Cuihe Hall for more than seven months, right? She pretended to close her eyes, trying to maintain a warm sleeping expression on her face, and remained motionless.

Hear the emperor say: "Li Guiren is asleep, don't disturb her, let her sleep for a while."

As soon as An Lingrong heard his words, a big hand came over to help her tuck the quilt, and she heard the footsteps farther away.

The emperor was probably sitting at the table in front of the palace and asked Qiaoyu: "How is your diet and sleep, Mr. Li? King Qinghe, come here too! I am busy with official duties. It is said that your Cuihe Palace is the place least affected by the epidemic. You The protection work is well done!”

Qiaoyu just responded with her mouth full of tea and did not answer.

An Lingrong had told him that if the emperor comes, the eunuchs and maids in the palace should not be flattering or rude.

King Qinghe said silently and respectfully: "Your Majesty, most of the epidemic has passed. It's time for me to go home and see my mother. Mr. Li, she can eat and sleep, and everything is fine."

King Qinghe did not tell her about her pregnancy, which made An Lingrong feel moved.

The emperor said slowly: "King Qinghe, you can't leave yet. I have one more important thing for you to handle. All of you slaves, please step aside first. I have something to tell King Qinghe and Mr. Li."

Xiao Jizi, Xiao Stool, Qiaoyu, Qin Sanyue and Su Peisheng all retreated. Only An Lingrong, King Qinghe and Emperor Xuan Ling were left in the huge palace.

An Lingrong could hear his heartbeat clearly, one after another, hitting his ears again and again.
