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

Zhen's father was demoted, and everyone in the harem looked at her with sympathy.

"Huan'er, tell me what happened? How could Uncle Zhen be demoted innocently?" After hearing the news, Shen Meizhuang was the first to rush over, regardless of her physical weakness after illness.

Zhen Huan thought of what the emperor had said, "The Censors of the Inspectorate are my eyes and ears. They monitor everything from princes to petty officials. I hope your father will monitor the discipline of the officialdom for me and clean up the officials' misconduct."

She had been taught by her family since she was young and was very sensitive to the situation. She understood something vaguely at that moment, but the emperor did not say it clearly and she did not dare to ask. She could only accept the order and thank him. Then on the way back, she deliberately pretended to be downcast, just to match her guess.

Now that Sister Lian Mei had come in person, she knew that there must be rumors in the palace. Her guess had come true. The emperor had deliberately transferred her father to the position of censor. However, she could not say this to Shen Meizhuang, so she had to explain:

"Sister Mei, I think it's because my father is too upright. When Nian Gengyao came to Beijing, he asked all officials to kneel to welcome him. My father and a group of old officials refused. As a result, Nian Gengyao held a grudge against him. He couldn't do anything to others, but he could signal his subordinates to discipline my father."

Shen Meizhuang already had a grudge against the emperor, and when she heard this, she angrily asked, "Is the emperor so indiscriminate?"

Zhen Huan was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth: "Sister Mei, be careful with what you say. The emperor also has to rely on the Nian family for the military war. Everything is the result of weighing the pros and cons."

Shen Meizhuang immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. She said worriedly, "I'm just worried about you. Now that Uncle Zhen has been demoted, I don't know how those villains in the palace will frame you."

Since Zhen Huan already knew the emperor's thoughts, she was not afraid. She said calmly: "Let the wind blow from all directions, I will remain unmoved."

Shen Meizhuang was influenced by her calmness: "That's right, life in the palace is all about praising the powerful and trampling the weak. The emperor still loves you. As long as you don't lose your mind, they won't dare to do anything to you."

Zhen Huan didn't want to continue this topic. She was afraid that if she talked too much, Shen Meizhuang would figure out something from it, which would put her in danger. So she asked, "Sister Mei, I see that you don't look well. Is it because Doctor Wen didn't take good care of you?"

Shen Meizhuang's heart suddenly weakened, and her eyes flashed: "Doctor Wen is very skilled and dedicated, it's my body that is too weak, so I haven't recovered well."

Zhen Huan continued, "Sister Mei, please be careful. Look at Concubine Wen. A serious illness has drained all her energy. I heard that she is now so thin that she can't even wear clothes. I guess it will be difficult to keep her healthy."

Shen Meizhuang was touched: "All the women in the harem are favored because of their beauty. It is good for you to be with Huan'er like this. Otherwise, if she is favored because of her merits, I am afraid she will suppress you in every way in the future. It is so good now. She is disabled, but the emperor still respects her. She can live a peaceful life like Concubine Jing. Isn't it good?"

"And Huan'er, don't just blame me. You don't look that good. Why don't you let Doctor Wen take a look at you?"

Zhen Huan spoke up to stop her, "I just talked about Concubine Wen's health. I see that you are getting better, sister Mei. You must not be without the imperial physician. I am fine. I probably ate too much greasy food recently and my stomach is upset. It will be fine in a few days."

"Then you can't force yourself. If you feel unwell, you should see a doctor."

"Sister Mei, don't worry. It's cold at night in spring. Sister Mei should go back and rest early."

.....

Rendong brought the news from outside back to Yonghe Palace, and An Lingrong leaned back in the recliner calmly.

Honeysuckle's eyes darkened, and then she brightened the candles in the room, and then took out the "Collection of Su Dongpo's Poems" that An Lingrong brought back from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Zhou Bing's idea was to recite poems to An Lingrong with some hesitations. He said that it didn't matter what book it was, and he should let Rendong read more to An Lingrong in her free time so that she wouldn't be immersed in sadness and self-blame. Only when she let go and cooperated with the treatment, could her illness be cured.

The candlelight in the main hall of Yonghe Palace was bright, and the crisp sound of honeysuckle could be heard outside the house, sometimes high and sometimes low. Baoque and Xiao Jiangzi outside did not dare to relax, and ordered the palace servants to complete their tasks.

"Your Majesty, when I went there, Concubine Wan had already fallen asleep. These were the things that Huanbi collected." Jianqiu had just finished her mission for the Queen and came back to report.

The Queen paused while combing her hair. "Oh, her father was just demoted, and she went to bed so early. Jianqiu, tell us what happened when Concubine Wan came out of the Yangxin Palace today."

Jianqiu told the news he had gathered: "Everyone on the long street saw it. They said that Concubine Wan walked back to Suiyuxuan from Yangxin Palace with a lost look on her face."

Queen: "How did she get to the Yangxin Palace?"

"Take a sedan chair."

The Queen understood and said self-deprecatingly, "I am the Emperor's wife. Perhaps the only one who enters the Imperial Study to accompany the Emperor at any time is Zhen Huan. Today, the Emperor just conferred the title of Nianfu on Zhen Huan, and right after that, he asked Zhen Huan to go to the Yangxin Palace. Jianqiu, I am a failure as the Queen. The Emperor has never discussed these things with me."

Jianqiu also reacted: "My lady, I understand. Lady Wan deliberately walked back in order to be seen."

The Queen sighed and said, "Zhen Huan is really too smart."

"Your Highness, Lady Wan has always been attached to you. I see that she respects you very much. You really don't need to worry."

The Queen thought more deeply: "But now she can enter the Imperial Study to discuss matters. Jianqiu, once she has tasted the sweetness of power, she will be reluctant to let it go. I am afraid that her heart will be raised, so we still have to prepare in advance."

After saying that, he asked Jianqiu to lean over and spoke softly.

Suddenly, a voice saying “The Emperor has arrived” startled the Queen. Why did the Emperor come so late?

But I was very happy in my heart and put on a smiling face.

"Why are the Queen's hands so cold?" The Emperor pulled the Queen up with rare consideration.

The sudden concern made the queen smile more sincerely: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It may be a little chilly in the spring night. It's nothing serious."

The emperor nodded and pulled the queen to sit beside the bed. "You have a headache and you work hard all the time. You should take good care of yourself."

The queen saw the emperor sitting beside the bed, and was delighted that he would not leave again tonight. She was extremely happy and said with concern: "The emperor just finished his work in the Yangxin Palace, and he must be hungry. I will ask the kitchen to cook some midnight snacks for him."

"No, I've already eaten. It's getting late. Please wait for me to rest. But you can ask them to prepare breakfast for tomorrow. I'll come after I finish my court."

The emperor's series of arrangements made the queen so happy that she forgot to ask him why he came here suddenly.

That night, the queen had a rare good sleep.

After waking up, I felt very happy when thinking about last night.

However, this good mood only lasted until breakfast.

The Emperor wants to restore Concubine Hua's rights to assist in managing the six palaces.
