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

"This is homesick again."

The emperor had been standing behind An Lingrong for some time.

But An Lingrong was completely unaware of this, her hand was gently stroking Lin Xiu's eyes back and forth.

Lin Xiu had extremely beautiful eyes when she was young, with ripples of light in her eyes. But slowly her eyes lost their luster, and were often replaced by bloodshot, redness, swelling, fatigue and numbness. Later, her eyes began to become cloudy, and finally completely lost their former spirit, leaving only endless emptiness, as dead as a dry well.

An Lingrong had left Lin Xiu's eyeballs empty because she really didn't know how to use the last few stitches to depict her mother's miserable life.

The emperor saw her staring at the embroidered portrait in a trance, and after enduring for a while, he finally spoke.

An Lingrong turned around in shock, eager to greet the Emperor, but was stopped by the Emperor: "Why are you crying?"

An Lingrong was shocked to find that tears had flowed down her face. She spoke in a depressed tone:

"I think of my mother who is far away in Songyang. I am overwhelmed for a moment. Please don't blame me for my impoliteness, Your Majesty."

"How can I blame you for being so filial to your mother? Since you miss her, why don't I let you and your daughter meet?"

An Lingrong's eyes suddenly lit up with stars, making her already wet eyes suddenly bright like the Milky Way. She was so excited that she repeatedly expressed her joy to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, what you said is true. I thank your Majesty for your grace. I will get ready and send someone to pick up my mother. I am so happy tonight."

Her voice was as pleasant as the splashing of spring water. At this moment, in her excitement, the end of each sentence rose unconsciously, like a little tail tickling people's hearts. The emperor laughed loudly:

"Of course it's true. I'll leave this matter to the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You just need to wait patiently."

After getting a positive answer, An Lingrong was at a loss. After a whole lifetime, she could finally see her mother again. She asked in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, do you think there is anything wrong with me?" As she said this, she straightened her clothes with her hands.

The emperor couldn't help but smile even more happily when seeing her anxious look. An Lingrong had always been well-behaved and careful in front of him, and he had never seen her so flustered. However, this also showed that An Lingrong was truly filial, otherwise she wouldn't be so at a loss just by hearing the news.

The Emperor held An Lingrong's hands and reminded her with a smile, "Rong'er, it will take more than a month for you to see Madam Lin. Do you have to ask me this question every day?"

An Lingrong calmed down instantly after hearing these words. She gave the emperor a shy smile and said, "I am so happy that I am confused. Your Majesty, I still want to ask for a favor."

Hmm? The emperor looked at her appraisingly and signaled her to continue.

"My mother has suffered a lot, and her health is not very good. I would like to ask those who are going to pick her up not to rush. I am not in a hurry."

I never thought she would mention this. The emperor nodded and said:

"I understand. I will ask them to be careful on the road. As long as you and your daughter can meet on the ninth day of the ninth month, that will be enough."

It is only the beginning of July, and there are still two months left. This way, my mother won't have too much hardship on the road. An Lingrong smiled very sincerely:

"Happy Double Ninth Festival! I can enjoy the chrysanthemums and wear the flowers with my mother. I thank the emperor for fulfilling my long-cherished wish."

“Don’t just talk without practicing.”

The emperor leaned back on the couch with his horse and sword in his hands and glanced at An Lingrong.

An Lingrong immediately brought a small stool, placed the emperor's legs on her legs, and began to massage him tirelessly.

Her wish was fulfilled tonight. An Lingrong was really happy. She chattered a lot to the emperor all night, most of which were good things about Lin Xiu. The emperor listened with his eyes closed. He didn't seem impatient, but he thought it was good enough that he agreed to one out of ten sentences.

The atmosphere in Wufu Hall was just right, without any deliberate flattery or testing. The Emperor felt at ease, and An Lingrong was also quite relaxed.

However, the atmosphere in Bitong Academy seemed a bit depressing.

Zhen Huan sent Liu Zhu and others away, leaving Huanbi alone.

Obviously he had something to ask her.

"Huanbi, when you secretly paid tribute to your mother that day, did you leave a single word on the piece of paper?"

This sentence made Huanbi's heart beat wildly. Could it be that Cao Qinmo had made other discoveries back then?

"No, at that time, the paper money was collected from Baohua Palace. Sister, I know it was against the palace rules at the time, but I feel really bad about it. Sister, did Concubine Shen mention this matter today?"

Thinking about tonight, the eldest sister originally refused Cao Qinmo's offer to see her off, but she didn't know what Cao Qinmo said that made the eldest sister change her mind. Huanbi's heart sank and she immediately asked back.

Zhen Huan frowned slightly: "She just said that she and you have a past relationship, and she wanted to rekindle the past feelings. If I didn't respond to her at that time, she would have shouted loudly and attracted investigation."

This matter was quite difficult for her to handle. She didn't know how much Cao Qinmo knew about Huanbi's affairs? Or was she just trying to scare her?

Huanbi's face was also full of worry: "Eldest sister, will she use this as a threat to force you to give in again and again?"

Zhen Huan's frown never relaxed: "If that's the case, it's actually good. It means she wants something. As long as she opens her mouth, I can always find a flaw."

"I'm afraid she has other plans."

Huanbi's face turned pale at this time. She thought of the worst possible scenario and her lips trembled as she spoke:

"Did the eldest sister say that she found out about my background?"

Zhen Huan gently rubbed her brows with her hands: "No, if that were the case, she would not have mentioned this matter, but would have waited for the opportunity to strike me head-on."

"Could it be that she did this just to send the eldest sister back and then take the opportunity to ruin her reputation?"

"Cao Qinmo is a very cunning and fickle person. She is testing me but also attacking me. I have to think of a way to stop her from making a profit from me."

It has to be said that Zhen Huan's last sentence was close to Cao Qinmo's goal.

Cao Qinmo is known for her quick wit and likes to link things together when plotting against others. From the moment she saw Xiao Guizi kneeling on the ground, she had already thought of a series of plans in her mind.

Sending Zhen Huan back was her test and also her reminder. She wanted to make Zhen Huan lose her composure.

But Zhen Huan had already mastered Ruyuan's style of dealing with things. No matter how urgent the matter was, as long as there was no evidence in hand, she was confident that she could turn it around. So she comforted Huanbi in return:

"Don't panic. What you should do now is to keep everything as before."

But Huanbi was still worried. After thinking it over, she said to Zhen Huan:

"Of course I believe in you, but if she really wants to use me to harm you, then please don't worry about me. You can do whatever you want. Huanbi won't blame you."

Of course Zhen Huan would not do that. She pulled Huanbi over and said a lot of words to reassure her. However, after what happened with Cao Qinmo, she completely forgot about Prince Guo's reminder.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Concubine Qi was released from confinement.
