The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

"Mother, I am worried about you staying in the Forbidden City. You should stay with me. The coolness in the garden will help you recover."

Before leaving, the emperor went to Shoukang Palace specifically and once again persuaded the empress dowager to go to the Old Summer Palace with him.

"Emperor, you are ready, right?" The Empress Dowager saw the situation in the palace and asked.

The emperor had already made arrangements: "My son has asked my seventeenth brother to keep an eye on Yun'e's residence and report any unusual movements immediately."

The Queen Mother wanted to know where his last tolerance for the Nian family was: "Yun'e is rebellious and has bad intentions. The Emperor can use the family rules of our ancestors to deal with him. What about the Nian family and Concubine Hua?"

The emperor thought in fear and said, "Nian Gengyao has returned to the northwest to garrison. My son has ordered Yue Zhongqi to secretly take over the military power. I will let Yun E handle it. As for the violation of the national law by Nian Gengyao, he will be punished according to the law. Just to prevent any accidents, my son has someone watching Concubine Hua."

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of showing leniency to Nian Gengyao, the empress dowager was completely relieved. However, when she mentioned Concubine Hua, she still sighed, "The emperor is nostalgic."

The emperor was helpless and said: "My Queen Mother, I killed the baby in Hua Fei's belly with my own hands. I was heartbroken all night and felt guilty towards Hua Fei. After these things are settled, I want her to live in peace in the palace."

The Queen Mother secretly sighed that the Emperor thought too simply of women. She reminded him, "I'm afraid that by then the resentment in the harem will be hard to settle, and Concubine Hua is too strong-willed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to have both."

The emperor immediately thought of Li Changzai's matter and quickly pleaded, "So my son wants to ask the Empress to take care of me when the time comes."

The Queen Mother looked around the palace for a while before nodding and saying, "I agree to your request, but I will not go to Yuanming Garden. The late emperor passed away there, and I will only feel sad if I go in. I'd better stay in the Forbidden City and watch over you."

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager has found various excuses to refuse every summer when he went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat. This year, the emperor returned empty-handed again. Before leaving, he glanced around the palace with his peripheral vision and did not see anything that should not be there, so he left with peace of mind.

After the emperor left, the queen mother sighed to Zhu Xi: "This year, let's try the clan affairs office again to see if they can pass on some information about Fourteen to me, so that all my efforts will be worthwhile."

Zhuxi didn't respond, but just walked forward and gently rubbed her back to regulate her qi.

This time, all the concubines in the palace went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, including Xia, Dong and Chun.

This time, An Lingrong's residence changed. She moved into the natural painting Wufutang on the east bank of Houhu Lake.

Xia Dongchun lived in the Langyin Pavilion by the lake.

Every day when the two of them went up to the tower, they could see the clouds of the Western Hills in the distance and the scenery of the four banks of the Back Lake up close. The scenery was so magnificent that it was like a natural painting.

What’s more coincidental is that people from Bitong Academy often pass by here, and Zhen Huan lives in Bitong Academy.

On the first night, as soon as they settled down, An Lingrong said to Ren Dong: "You can hand over the evidence you collected to me."

Her voice came out without warning, leaving Rendong stunned in place. She hadn't expected An Lingrong to do what he said and find an opportunity for her revenge so quickly. She instantly burst into passion and her hands began to tremble violently. Shivering, she took out a piece of fine cotton undergarment from the package she was carrying in front of An Lingrong, pulled it hard to reveal the inner layer, and took out a handkerchief with tiny handwriting on it.

An Lingrong carefully read the contents above, her face turned pale with anger and her breathing became rapid. After a while, she finally calmed down:

"Let's go to Bitong Academy."

It's time for Zhen Huan to repay her for sending her back to Bitong Academy from Xianyue Pavilion two years ago.

Honeysuckle reacted and grabbed her: "My lady, are you in danger?"

"Silly girl, tonight is the best time. The emperor has gone to Qingliang Palace, and the queen is busy handling the affairs of the palaces. No one is paying attention to Wanpin. Besides, Wanpin's father has just been promoted to Zuodu Yushi. It's just the right time for me to go there."

In the Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan was counting the books she brought out this time. When she heard Jin Xi's report, she was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly let An Lingrong in.

Entering the inner room of Bitong Academy again, An Lingrong was filled with mixed feelings. She was still thinking about taking a good look at the furnishings in the room to see if they were different from her previous life. At this moment, Zhen Huan smiled and tried to test her:

"I haven't seen Sister Wen out and about for a long time. Why are you here today?"

An Lingrong suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said directly, "Sister Wan, I have something here that I think will be useful to you right now."

Zhen Huan knew that she was asking for compensation, but she didn't point it out. She just pretended not to ask: "Sister Wen, you are joking. I don't need anything. But you came here at midnight, so I think you have something urgent. Why don't you just tell me directly?"

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan. She was always calm with her intelligence and scheming. Even though she had guessed her intentions, she was still able to take the initiative in her own hands. She was not panicked at all. She was actually being led by her. An Lingrong simply said:

"Sister Wan, you are a forgetful person, so I just reminded you directly. Two years ago, you and I had an encounter, and today I am here to settle the matter."

Zhen Huan did not rush to admit it, but asked first: "How does Sister Wen want to end it?"

An Lingrong took out the handkerchief hidden in her sleeve and said, "My maid, Ren Dong, wrote down some evidence of crimes before entering the palace and had them copied on this small handkerchief. I am giving it to Sister Wan today, hoping that your father can give justice to these innocent women who were brutally murdered."

Zhen Huan quickly read the contents and was instantly so angry that her hands and feet were shaking: "Is what is written above true?"

An Lingrong nodded carefully: "Ren Dong's family is one of the victims."

When Zhen Huan heard her say this, she became suspicious: "Sister Wen, you are also the emperor's favorite concubine like me, why don't you present it to the emperor yourself?"

An Lingrong struggled and said, "Sister Wan is right. When I first got it, I also thought about handing it over to the emperor directly. But please see, there are only cases but no actual evidence on it, because the evidence was destroyed by the other party a long time ago. First, I don't want to trouble the emperor with this matter, and second, I am afraid that the emperor will suspect that I made up the story and framed the court officials."

Zhen Huan smiled lightly and said sarcastically, "I share your concerns. What if this is a trap set by my sister? Wouldn't it be dangerous for me?"

An Lingrong also smiled: "Although I am deep in the palace, I also know that the censors can report on hearsay. You and I are not suitable to hand this thing over to the emperor, but Lord Zhen is different. He is in charge of the Inspectorate. Whether this matter is true or false, he will know it once he investigates. If it is a fake sister, there is no loss. If it is real, Lord Zhen can also gain merit for it. Why not give it a try."

Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong inquiringly for a long time before she said, "After this incident, will my sister completely forget what happened two years ago?"

An Lingrong's smile remained on her face as she spoke softly, "What happened the year before last? I came here tonight to ask Sister Wanpin to redress the injustices of those women who died tragically."

Zhen Huan's doubts were still there. She knew the truth of the contents on the handkerchief would be revealed if she checked carefully. If it was really her father, she could make a great contribution. She might as well accept it first.
