If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

In the Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan sat on a small couch, taking care of her pregnancy while thinking about how to get rid of Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua has been displeased with her recently. As soon as the Queen leaves the palace, she will definitely find a fault to establish her authority. The best candidate to establish this authority is herself, a noble who has a low status, no children, and is still favored.

She knew that Concubine Hua would eliminate the favored concubines step by step. In other words, whoever was favored by her would be brought disaster. So in order to prevent her child from having a miscarriage like the first time, she prepared this provocative incident.

The death of that child was partly due to the Queen's manipulation of An, and partly due to Concubine Hua's recklessness which led to the Queen's scheme against her. However, if she had not had any bad intentions, she would not have been schemed against.

In order to welcome this child, she made full preparations and took into account the personnel and palace restrictions before she became pregnant. She swore in her heart that she must keep this child.

Thinking of Concubine Hua, in her memory, Concubine Hua's downfall was because the emperor wanted to get rid of the Nian family. Nian Gengyao had made great military achievements and was more powerful than the emperor, and he became more and more greedy. Concubine Hua always thought that if the queen was gone, she would be the queen.

But now Nian Gengyao is very cautious, even if Concubine Hua is a little spoiled, the emperor will not do anything to her. It seems that just like in the previous life, if you want to get rid of Concubine Hua, you must first get rid of Nian Gengyao, the Nian family who supports her.

A plan was secretly taking shape in Zhen Huan's mind, but the implementation of the plan had to be slow. The most important thing for her now was to keep the baby healthy.

Yikun Palace.

Concubine Hua has been fantasizing about the position of empress for a long time, so on the day after she was released from confinement, she summoned the concubines to the Yiku Palace to chat with her, just like everyone would pay their respects to the empress when she was still alive.

"What kind of incense is burning in the palace, Madam? It smells so good!"

"Yes, after being scented by the Queen, even the rose buttercream pales in comparison!"

"Yes, yes, I wonder what kind of fragrance is this, Madam?"

The people who were talking were sent to the palace by the families of ministers who had made great contributions in pacifying the Western Barbarians last year. Since the three of them entered the palace at the same time, they were naturally closer.

"You have a good nose. This is the incense that the emperor ordered to be carefully prepared for me. It is called Huan Yi Xiang. I am the only one in the palace who can use it."

Seeing Concubine Hua showing off, Ling Rong couldn't help but lean forward again, as if this would keep her away from the incense burner. In her previous life, when she learned the formula of Huan Yi Xiang from Zhen Huan, she knew the emperor's calculations on the Nian family, and she had to use it but also be on guard.

"You are indeed worthy of being the Empress. You are the only imperial concubine in this dynasty and the one most favored by the Emperor." The little maid who had just spoken was flattering her, and the other two also actively echoed her.

"That's right. My sisters entered the palace late, so naturally you don't know. The Emperor allowed the Imperial Concubine to use Huan Yi incense when he was still in the palace. The ambergris in it was given to the Emperor by the previous emperor. The Emperor took half of it to make Huan Yi incense for the Imperial Concubine." After all, Concubine Cao was an old veteran in the palace, so she came to explain these stories to the new concubines, one to raise Concubine Hua's status, and the other to curry favor with Concubine Hua on a daily basis.

The old people in the palace all knew that Huanyi incense was only allowed to be used by the imperial concubine to show the emperor's favor. Only a very few people knew that Huanyi incense was very spicy, such as the empress dowager and the queen.

Although Lingrong was an accident, people like Concubine Duan who have lived in the palace for a long time naturally guessed it. Otherwise, why couldn't Concubine Hua, who was so healthy, get pregnant? Only the two masters could do such things, not even the queen. It was only Concubine Hua herself who was blinded by the emperor's favor.

As Concubine Hua listened to the flattery, her smile grew brighter. She thought to herself that the emperor was really sincere to her, and even gave such precious spices to her alone.

However, she didn't know that the Huan Yi Xiang was hiding the emperor's conspiracy. Zhen Huan knew the inside story very well, so she decided to wait and see.

In the following days, Zhen Huan was more careful to protect her fetus. At the same time, she also secretly collected intelligence about the Nian family to prepare for future plans.

Concubine Hua was enjoying everyone's flattery in the Yikun Palace, unaware of the impending crisis.
