Everyone in the palace became active, including An Lingrong.
The Queen's fall was so sudden that she didn't have time to put all her preparations into action... no, she didn't even have time to form a plan before the Queen collapsed.
If it were in the past, she would have simply felt that God had mercy on her and had taken this evil woman away.
But now… while she was excited and ambitious, she was also filled with fear.
Concubine Yi's methods are truly terrifying.
How did she do it, how did she do it?
An Lingrong, who went to Chuxiu Palace to pay her respects and show her goodwill almost every day, could not see any clues at all, as if Concubine Yi was really just as she appeared to be.
Even the Queen can't do this.
Follow Concubine Yi and follow her lead.
Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.
Even if she was lucky enough to have a son, she would still die without a burial place.
It was already a great thing that Concubine Yi would not be like the Empress and would not tolerate her having children.
Now her mother has successfully separated from An Bihuai. Although she no longer has her maternal family, she has no worries. As long as she is well, her mother will be well.
She seemed... finally free.
While crying, An Lingrong unconsciously looked up at the sky.
The weather was perfect, the sun was warm, and the breeze was gentle. She was finally blessed to be able to enjoy such nice days every day.

Everyone was lamenting the impermanence of life, but Wen Yuan was sitting in the palace eating fruit drinks, lamenting that there were indeed many good people in this world.
It’s great to meet a good sister like Yixiu in the palace.
Under her leadership, all the concubines in the harem were childless. This is not an easy task to accept.
It's great that there are a group of sentimental princes, princesses, princes, and ladies in the palace...
E Min is worthy of being her good apprentice and good father, and he really climbs up when he encounters a pole.
This is how the money in the family treasury should be used.
A fortune can be earned back even if it is spent. What can be bought by spending two hundred thousand to show filial piety to the empress dowager is far more valuable than the value of the two hundred thousand silver itself.
Nothing that can be bought with silver is considered precious. Only what is obtained with status is considered noble.
Just like the exquisite and huge pieces of raw stones that E Min sent into the palace.
Only after they entered the palace and were given the title of being created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and awarded by the palace, could Emin and Aisin-Gioro wear those jade pendants and jewels on their heads.
It was because she entered the palace and obtained a high position and favor that she could freely use these treasures bought from overseas to dress herself up as she pleased.
Ordinary noble ladies and concubines simply don't have this capital.
Her family was bold enough to give the account book to the emperor.
She also knows how to do accounting, and even so she still has a private treasury.
She, the Guwalgiya family, and the royal family, the three of them complement each other and are indispensable.
The mastermind, the accomplice, and the scapegoat.
Now Gioro has been officially included in the Imperial Book of Rites and is the prince’s daughter Aisin-Gioro.
Like today, among the female members of the royal family who were crying for the deceased, although she was not the first one, she was also at the front.
This honor was something she had never dared to dream of before.
So she cried especially hard and sincerely.
"My Queen, I am an unfilial son. I was not able to be with you when you were alive."
"Queen Mother, wuwuwuwu..."
It was so sad and touching to watch.
This Shushen Duoluo Gege is truly filial and virtuous. The Queen Mother is really blind.
And how bad could the character of Concubine Yi in the palace be since she has such a mother?
Unfortunately, the Guarjia family no longer has a legitimate daughter, only a young legitimate son...
With this in mind, those who had daughters of marriageable age in the families of royal wives or in-laws could not help but think about how to get such a good marriage.
Wen Yuan didn't have to cry at funerals, send off coffins, or even eat vegetarian food. Her life was so good.
"Now we have done our best, and the rest is up to fate."
"My child, as long as one of you two has a healthy son, you will win in this life."
Good health is the most important thing. It would be great if you can live to ascend the throne and have descendants.
As for whether it is smart or not?
She has the support.
Although she does not have the political means to rule behind the scenes, she is smart and has seen pigs run.
She believed that she could do no worse than Xiao Si in terms of what to do and what not to do, and in maintaining the foundation laid by Kangxi and Yongzheng.
She didn't have great talent, but she had to defend the city. This was the goal she set for herself when she first started to get involved in politics.
You can't become fat in one bite. Although the system has not been started yet, the preface is enough to conclude that she has more than one lifetime.
The battle line is still long, so she needs to be down-to-earth and steady.

The body was kept for thirty-six days, which is the so-called "three years of mourning" if days are replaced by months. This funeral was only for the dignity of the royal family.
On the day of the empress dowager's burial, the deposed Empress Ulanara was exiled to the imperial mausoleum together with the Fourteenth Prince who was imprisoned in the clan house, and was never allowed to return to the capital.
Without any more fighting in the harem, Wen Yuan's life was still as leisurely and busy as ever.
Tigers can take naps, too.
But before taking a nap, you have to winnow all the air that can breathe in the forest and shake the egg yolks evenly.
The Imperial Medical Office gave Wen Yuan's twins an expected delivery date of August.
Normally, twins would be born prematurely, but Wen Yuan's body was very stable, and the fetuses were developing healthily, neither too big nor too small, just the right size.
If the birth occurs in mid-August, the pregnancy will have lasted a full nine months.
As long as the birth is natural, the child will be healthy and will not have to worry about minor illnesses or injuries.
After hearing this, Yinzhen was both worried and happy, and he spent more time with her in Chuxiu Palace.
Wen Yuan's life became more and more cramped as her belly grew bigger. Because she had to get up at night to go to the toilet, her sleeping time became more fragmented.
In addition to taking a 30-minute walk every morning, noon and evening, Wen Yuan took the opportunity to read a lot of books.
They are all various historical books stored in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Start by reading storybooks, then travel stories, then biographies, and finally borrow history books.
Everything was flawless and logical, and Yinzhen would never doubt her ambitions to take the throne until his death.
After all, she read very fast, and in Yinzhen's view, she just swallowed the book without thinking, just for fun. He never imagined that she had the [Reading] ability that had reached level four in the so-called 'Proficiency System'.
Mid-July, the Ghost Festival, the gates of hell are wide open.
On this day, Concubine Qi finally came to visit her after blatantly inquiring about her daily habits for half a month.
Listening to Pu Guang's report, Wen Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"You mean... Concubine Qi is here to give me pregnancy-preserving medicine?"
"Yes, your majesty." Because there were outsiders present, Guang Pu remained calm and composed when reporting.
And Wen Yuan just put thousands of words into one word,
"6."
……
Concubine Qi committed suicide before being demoted.
Wen Yuan knew the reason. It was Cui Ping, Qi Fei's good maid, who told Qi Fei, "Now that things have come to this, we must protect the Third Prince, Your Majesty!"
Everything was arranged by Wen Yuan, so Wen Yuan was naturally calm.
But Yinzhen is not like that.
He tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep.
He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't understand it.
Are all the concubines in my palace so stubborn? They all want to commit suicide if they disagree with each other!
what?
Yinzhen was very puzzled.
Fortunately, there has not been no good news recently.
In early August, An Lingrong became pregnant.
Although being pregnant in the Ghost Month is taboo, Yinzhen himself doesn't take it too seriously.
There are not enough healthy people in the palace who can go out to play mahjong, and the only male left is a fool like Hongshi.
There was no way he would be picky about the timing of the concubine's pregnancy.
The draft is coming up, scheduled for next spring.
Because the Empress Dowager passed away, the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner was not held.
In fact, the main reason was that... among all the concubines in the harem, only Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui were able to attend the ceremony, which was indeed a bit shabby, and Yinzhen felt embarrassed.
After all, according to contemporary people's values, not having a large harem and many offspring means being incompetent. Is he the kind of person who can openly admit his incompetence in front of all the clan members?
He is not.
It was in this subtle atmosphere that Wen Yuan started at midnight on the morning of August 15th.
