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

"You want me to send Honeysuckle's brother to the army?"

Concubine Duan didn't expect that An Lingrong's request was actually for her maid. Rendong was her confidant. By putting her brother under the nose of her own family, wasn't she afraid that her own family would take the opportunity to blackmail her?

An Lingrong smiled generously, with sincerity in her eyes: "Your Majesty is a gentleman, Lingrong is relieved."

Concubine Duan suddenly understood that although her family was martial, they had been suppressed by the Nian family for many years, and most of the children in the family died on the battlefield. Now there was only a cousin left who was a lieutenant general of the Green Camp. How could they still have the face to say that they were a family of military generals? Even if a maid's brother joined the army, he could only start from the bottom and fight for military merits, so how could he threaten her? After thinking it through, Concubine Duan turned around and asked Ren Dong:

"The army is dangerous. The Green Camp is the flag of the Han army. If there is a war, we will have to charge into the battle. Miss Honeysuckle, do you have to think about it carefully?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Dong immediately knelt down to express her gratitude: "I thank Concubine Duan for giving me a new life. If my brother can join the army, I will be grateful to him."

Concubine Duan first looked at Ren Dong and said, "You should get up now. You should thank your queen for this. It's just a piece of cake for me." Then she turned her eyes and said to An Lingrong:

"Honeysuckle is so lucky to have a master like you. You still have to worry about her even when you are sick."

An Lingrong heard her probing and replied naturally, "I troubled Your Majesty to come here today mainly because I feel lonely in the palace and wanted to talk to Sister Duan."

Having said this, he waved his hand and asked the two maids to leave.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Duan hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Today is an important day for Concubine Hua, so naturally I want to talk to Her Majesty about the future." From this sentence on, An Lingrong's eyes never left Concubine Duan. Although she and her were allies, the next words were of great importance, and she needed absolute trust.

Seeing An Lingrong's cautious expression, Concubine Duan felt nervous. She would not ask such a question without reason. There must be a backup plan, and this backup plan is closely related to her. She considered and said:

"If I can avenge my great vengeance, I would like to live in peace."

An Lingrong smiled, with a hint of mockery in her smile: "Lingrong met Sister Duan when she was young. Since the day we met, Lingrong has been sincere to her. I didn't expect Sister Duan to be so wary of me."

Concubine Duan was immediately struck by what was said, and her expression was slightly annoyed: "Since Sister An said she was sincere, why don't you be frank? Is it necessary for us to be like this?"

An Lingrong immediately put away the smile on her face and turned serious: "Because what I want to say is related to the honor and disgrace of Sister Duan and her family, life and death, so Sister Duan's attitude in the future is crucial. If you want to spend your days in peace in the palace, you don't have to listen to me. Sister Duan will just pretend that you have not been to Yonghe Palace tonight."

After that, she didn't say anything else but just drank the water in small sips. Concubine Duan was very uneasy about An Lingrong's sudden words of driving her away. She didn't say anything for a while but just thought slowly in her heart. For a while, the hall was extremely silent and the two could hear each other's breathing.

During this period, Concubine Duan looked at An Lingrong several times. Seeing that she was as still as a pine tree, she was a little surprised in her heart. She wondered when did she develop such majesty.

For a moment, Concubine Duan was in great torment. Since An Lingrong said it was a matter of honor and disgrace, should she express her opinion? But what if the matter was really dangerous? Wouldn't her situation be even worse?

She didn't realize that her palms were sweating slightly from An Lingrong's silent suppression. She was torn between her conscience and her own desire to live in the deep palace while her family was declining. She made up her mind, "That's it. Can the worst be worse than this?" She let out a long sigh, "Sister An, just say what you want to say. I'm not a fool."

Hearing that she spoke first, An Lingrong's heart leaped for joy. This was a trick she had learned from the Emperor in her previous life. She had never expected that she could actually scare Concubine Duan. However, she did not dare to show it on her face and said seriously, "Sister Duan, Concubine Hua is in a situation where fire is boiling over, but things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme. Lingrong estimates that within a year or so, the fire should be almost burned out."

Concubine Duan's eyes lit up instantly. She had hated it for so many years, and had been looking forward to it for so many years. Now there was a day to look forward to. She had no doubts about the time An Lingrong mentioned. In her mind, An Lingrong was very thoughtful, and she must have guessed something when she accompanied the emperor, so she said this. She was rarely excited: "If things are really as Sister An said, and this cancer can be completely eradicated, it will be a joy for the whole world to celebrate. Sister An should be able to grasp the rest of the matter. Can you please tell me clearly now?"

"Sister Duan, have you ever thought about what will happen to the emperor a hundred years later?"

An Lingrong said this very lightly, but it was as shocking as a bolt from the blue. Concubine Duan was shocked. She frantically held onto the chair with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "This is a crime of great disrespect. Sister An, what do you mean?"

An Lingrong smiled cunningly at this time. She finally dragged Concubine Duan into her trap: "Sister Duan, the Fourth Prince is extremely intelligent. The Third Prince is far from being comparable."

Concubine Duan's usually dignified face was full of panic and fear. She had never expected An Lingrong to be so ambitious. Her fingers were trembling: "You should know what the emperor has been through. Aren't you afraid?"

An Lingrong stared into Concubine Duan's eyes and said word by word, "Sister Duan, I am afraid. Lingrong lives in fear every day in the palace. But if we don't mention this now, will you really be willing to accept it in a few years when the Queen's deployment is completed?"

The Queen sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the tigers, and later allowed Concubine Hua to bully her for many years. Concubine Duan naturally hated her. She hesitated and said, "The Fourth Prince has no one to rely on. How can this be accomplished?"

"But he is the emperor's son after all. Sister is knowledgeable and has a strong memory. There are many such examples in history. Besides, doesn't sister have no children either?"

Concubine Duan was once again shocked by An Lingrong's light words and swallowed her saliva repeatedly. She couldn't even speak clearly this time: "How can I be the fourth prince's adoptive mother? The emperor will definitely not allow it."

An Lingrong tempted her step by step: "Man makes things happen, God makes things happen. Sister, just tell me whether you want to or not?"

Concubine Duan looked at An Lingrong's shining eyes and struggled in her heart. She took a deep breath before speaking: "If this matter is not done well, the crime will be confiscated and the head will be executed."

It’s not that we can’t do it, it’s that we’re afraid we can’t do it well!

An Lingrong's heart, which had been hanging for many days, was completely relieved. The Queen had already reached out to the Third Prince. Although she had long wanted Concubine Duan to adopt the Fourth Prince, it would not work without an opportunity. Now she could discuss with Concubine Duan little by little how to achieve this opportunity:

"Sister Duan, this is not a one-day job. It will take years of hard work. Fortunately, the emperor is in his prime, so we have plenty of time."

An Lingrong's words calmed Concubine Duan down. Yes, she was in good health now and had plenty of time in the palace. Tonight, An Lingrong's step-by-step enticement finally rekindled her former dreams and ambitions:

"Okay, what are we going to do next?"
