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

"Should I send you out of the palace and find you a husband? Or should I fulfill your wish and let the emperor marry you directly?"

From the time she entered the palace till now, Zhen Huan felt that not a single moment went smoothly. When Huanbi learned of her identity, she always wanted to make good plans for her in the future. But when she went out tonight to tip off the enemy, Zhen Huan was completely disappointed. She knew that she could not handle it alone now, but still chose to betray. It shows that she has resentment towards the Zhen family and herself. It is better to help her, so that she will not be so self-righteous and cause greater trouble.

Huanbi was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to be a slave, but she didn't want to marry casually. If Zhen Huan had recommended her to the emperor a few days ago, she would have been grateful, but now she already had someone in her heart, and she was extremely reluctant to serve the emperor who was older than her father. Seeing Zhen Huan suddenly attacking her, she knew that she was suspected, but she was sure that Zhen Huan had no real evidence, so she immediately opened her mouth to express her loyalty:

"My lord, I just want to be with you wholeheartedly. Please don't drive me out."

Zhen Huan's face was as cold as ice as she sneered, "If I keep you, will you ever join forces with outsiders to kill me?"

Huanbi fell to her knees with a plop and cried in fear:

"My lady, I have never dared to do anything to hurt you. Why do you say that?"

Zhen Huan was very annoyed when she saw that she was still denying it, so she opened her mouth helplessly and said:

"How did you get to Lipin's palace tonight? Pei'er saw it clearly. I know exactly what you did. I thought we were sisters, so I was usually very tolerant of you. But I never thought that one day my sister would collude with outsiders to harm me!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue to Huanbi, shattering all her mental defenses. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she murmured:

"So you already knew it!"

"Yes, that's why I feel chilled."

……

In Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan and Huanbi finally recognized each other. After some thought, Zhen Huan forgave Huanbi's actions like an elder sister. She broke down the crisis during this period and taught Huanbi in detail, telling her not to be so short-sighted in the future.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Su Peisheng saw the emperor sitting on the couch alone for a long time without saying a word, so he hurried forward to persuade him:

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should go to bed early!"

The emperor ignored him and said meaningfully: "It's not worry-free."

Su Peisheng didn't know how to respond to this, and then he heard the emperor say in a melancholy tone:

"Shilan is a little impetuous after all. She has never suffered such an injustice. Please take care of Qingliang Palace."

Su Peisheng's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the emperor felt that Concubine Hua was too hasty and had fallen into a trap regarding the Xianyue Pavilion matter. He was even more annoyed that he had punished her too harshly in a hurry. Although the war in the northwest had been a great victory, there were still many gangs of bandits that needed Nian Gengyao to wipe out in order to restore long-term peace to the northwest. If he knew that Concubine Hua was under house arrest, the army's morale might be unstable and the overall plan for the northwest might be disrupted. The emperor was trying to appease Concubine Hua and asked him to keep the news secret. Of course, he couldn't say these words even if he had ten thousand guts, so he had to agree carefully.

In Fanying Pavilion, An Lingrong was in a very good mood. She had never forgotten what happened to Rendong, but she had always played the role of a gentle and sensible person in front of the emperor. If she suddenly started to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty, the emperor would surely dislike her, and all her previous efforts would be in vain. Now she finally found a loophole. When the time was ripe, she could use Zhen Huan to open this loophole and avenge Rendong's family.

After Concubine Hua was put under house arrest, Zhen Huan's favor towards her became even greater. The Emperor stayed in the Bitong Academy almost every day, and even the Empress could hardly see the Emperor.

In Taohuawu, Jianqiu spoke up for the queen and complained:

"Your Majesty, Lady Wan is too ignorant. You helped her, but she bullies the emperor every day."

The Queen half-leaned comfortably on the large welcoming pillow, and asked Jianqiu with a meaningful smile: "How does the Emperor treat Concubine Wan now compared to how he treated my sister back then?"

Jian Qiu thought for a moment and shook her head, "Of course they are incomparable, but I am worried that if this continues, she will become as frivolous as Concubine Hua and be disrespectful to you, Your Majesty."

The Queen was not worried about her and said lightly, "Hua Fei? This palace and the Emperor and his wife are of one mind, so of course I know what the Emperor is thinking. Right now is the time to employ people, so the Emperor will inevitably be lenient to the Nian family. There is still a long way to go in the future, so I will wait. As for Concubine Wan, no matter how much the Emperor dotes on her, she can't surpass her sister. Why should this palace alienate the Emperor for her?"

Even so, Jianqiu still reminded: "Your Highness, you should think long-term. However, since the Emperor dotes on her like this, she will have children sooner or later. We should be careful and take precautions."

When the Queen mentioned having children, her eyes suddenly turned cold. She smiled faintly, "This is something I cannot prevent. However, Zhen Huan is favored by all the palaces, so naturally she also has all the resentment. We'll talk about it when we really have one!"

After the two of them discussed the affairs of the palace in detail, the queen finally went to bed.

Time passed quickly and it was August, and Noble Lady Fucha's pregnancy was finally stable.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, when the Queen led the concubines to toast the Emperor, Noble Lady Fucha retched in public.

She immediately put down her wine glass and apologized to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been feeling unwell recently, so I behaved inappropriately in front of the palace."

The emperor smiled indifferently, motioned for her to just sit down, then turned around and smiled at Zhen Huan who was sitting below him.

As soon as Noble Lady Fucha sat down as she was told, the Empress looked thoughtful. She smiled and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, the weather has changed since autumn, and it is the season when epidemics are more common. I think we should summon the Imperial Physician to see Noble Lady Fucha, so that a minor illness will not turn into a major one."

The Emperor then turned his gaze away from Zhen Huan, nodded and praised the Queen: "The Queen is still virtuous. I will do as you say."

A moment later, the news that Noble Lady Fucha had been pregnant for more than three months spread throughout the hall. This was the first concubine to be pregnant since the newcomer entered the palace. All the noble concubines in the room congratulated the emperor in unison.

The Mid-Autumn Festival coincided with the good news. The emperor was very pleased and his eyes softened when he looked at Noble Lady Fucha. He said to the queen, "Yixin is young after all and has not experienced anything. She didn't realize she was pregnant for so long. Queen, you have to pay more attention. From now on, Noble Lady Fucha's pregnancy will be in your charge. Make sure both mother and child are safe."

The joy on the Queen's face was very sincere, as if she was really happy that Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant. She immediately told the Emperor that the prince's heir must be the priority.

An Lingrong and Noble Lady Fucha looked at each other and finally it worked.

No matter how thoughtful An Lingrong is, she is ultimately powerless. It would be better for her to openly hand over Noble Lady Fucha's fetus to the care of the Queen. This way, she would not dare to make any mistakes in public, lest she be held accountable by the Emperor. As for her secret methods in secret, she and Noble Lady Fucha would have to keep a close watch on them.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to return to the palace.
