An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"The Emperor wants to see me?"

An Lingrong was resting in the side hall, but was stunned when she suddenly saw Su Peisheng coming.

"Yes, Miss An, the emperor has specifically requested to see you, please follow me!"

As Yongzheng's confidant, Su Peisheng served in the imperial court all year round. He always looked like a smiling "good guy" when he met everyone, and his main goal was not to offend anyone.

Even though he didn't understand why the emperor wanted to see this An, Su Peisheng was polite when facing An Lingrong and didn't show any disrespect to her at all because of her low status.

"Then it's my father-in-law."

Su Peisheng is polite, but An Lingrong is even more polite than him.

Su Peisheng is not only a eunuch beside the emperor, but also an old eunuch who has been employed by the emperor for many years!

It is no exaggeration to say that Su Peisheng's position in Yongzheng's heart is probably much more important than that of an ordinary concubine.

In her previous life, An Lingrong had dealt with Su Peisheng a lot.

However, at that time, Su Peisheng had already sided with Concubine Xi because of Cui Jinxi, so he was naturally an enemy to her.

But now the other party is a complete stranger to me, so it is better not to offend such a person if possible.

Both sides were polite and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Su Peisheng respectfully took An Lingrong out of the side hall and went to see the emperor together.

"Excuse me, sir, isn't the emperor with the queen?"

An Lingrong felt a little surprised when she saw that the direction Su Peisheng was taking her was not the one leading to the Queen's bedroom, but she did not stop and continued to follow Su Peisheng step by step.

"My dear An, you may not know that the Emperor did not stay in the bedroom for long in order to allow the Empress to rest in peace, so my dear, just follow me."

Su Peisheng did not turn around, but answered An Lingrong's doubts in a very gentle tone.

"I see. Thank you, sir."

An Lingrong nodded to show that she understood, and she had already guessed about 70% of the reason why the emperor summoned her.

After all, it’s all for Concubine Hua!

The emperor has always been very suspicious, and Hua Fei is his favorite concubine, who has won his favor for many years.

Although it was Concubine Hua who made the mistake this time, which directly made the Empress sick, given the Emperor's temperament, he would naturally not listen to only one side's opinion.

And the fact that he chose to let himself go at this time, not only did he want to understand the matter from another perspective, but he might also want to find an opportunity to clear Hua Fei's name!

However, nothing is absolute. It is possible that the emperor wants to take this opportunity to curb Concubine Hua. Who knows?

An Lingrong analyzed Yongzheng's views on this matter in her mind, and her heart was calm.

Anyway, no matter what the emperor wants, she can't control his mind, so she should just deal with it calmly.

"My Lord, we are here."

Su Peisheng took An Lingrong around a few corners and arrived at a courtyard at the back of Jingren Palace.

An Lingrong had never been to this courtyard, and she only vaguely remembered that it was a very remote place.

"Thank you for leading the way, sir."

Since Su Peisheng had already expressed his arrival, she naturally followed him into the yard.

After thanking Su Peisheng for leading the way, An Lingrong walked into the only main hall in the courtyard with him without even looking at him.

At the same time, An Lingrong also noticed that there were guards guarding on both sides of the entrance to the main hall. Their bright yellow clothes proved their identity as the imperial guards.

It was indeed standard for the emperor to be accompanied by imperial guards whenever he went out.

But the emperor chose to be here, could it be to avoid others?

After all, Jingren Palace is the Queen's residence, so naturally there are the Queen's people everywhere. If this move is made to avoid the Queen's eyes and ears, then it is indeed understandable.

Who made the queen not wake up yet?

Under such circumstances, it would seem a bit too deliberate for the emperor to send the queen's people away again.

It would be better for him to leave the Queen's bedroom on his own initiative in the name of being considerate to the Queen, and not allow anyone to follow him. That way, when he sees An Lingrong again, everything will be reasonable.

"My dear, the Emperor only wants to see you. Please go in by yourself. I will wait outside."

Su Peisheng stopped at the door, and as he spoke, he reached out to help An Lingrong lift the door curtain.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

An Lingrong expressed her gratitude politely, and then walked into the hall alone.

The hall was not large, but it had all the necessary furnishings.

At this time, the lights had been lit, and the emperor was sitting on the warm kang, flipping through a book.

When An Lingrong came in, she didn't bother to look around, but went straight to the warm kang and bowed.

"Your Majesty, may your majesty be blessed with good health."

An Lingrong's voice was steady and her manner of greeting was as natural as flowing water, showing she was extremely well-behaved.

"Get up."

A steady male voice came from above my head.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

An Lingrong paused deliberately, then raised her head, but always maintained an angle not to look directly at the emperor.

"You are... the one with a crabapple flower in her hair during the talent show?"

Yongzheng saw An Lingrong just lowering her head in front of him without saying a word, which was very different from those concubines who became nervous when they saw him or were excited and wanted to please him.

After recalling it, Yongzheng remembered the scene when the crabapple blossoms on An Lingrong's head attracted butterflies, and he also had some impressions of it.

"Reporting to the Emperor, it is my concubine."

An Lingrong was favored in her previous life, so she naturally knew how to win the emperor's heart.

However, the Queen is still ill, Concubine Hua is in trouble again, and the entire harem is in chaos. It is obviously not the time for her to seek favor!

And for the emperor, the first meeting is often very important.

An Lingrong knew that if she wanted to live smoothly in the palace, the emperor’s favor was indispensable, so she had to leave a good first impression in front of the emperor!

"Well... do you know why I called you here?"

Yongzheng asked An Lingrong to relax and be more casual and not to be so formal, and then seemed to ask An Lingrong casually if she knew why he summoned him.

"I am stupid and dare not guess the emperor's mind."

This time, An Lingrong chose to half-kneel while slightly raising her head.

This angle is different from the previous one, allowing the emperor to see An Lingrong's face more clearly.

An Lingrong didn't wear much makeup today, but her slightly made-up face combined with her calm expression made the emperor's heart move for no reason.

"How dare you to guess the Holy Mind! You are very honest!"

Yongzheng suddenly smiled and said, "Forget it, get up and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

An Lingrong nodded, and at the same time prepared herself to answer the emperor's next questions.

Of course, it is impossible that she has not analyzed the reasons why the emperor called her here, but how could she admit this in front of the emperor?

Many people try to spy on the saint's whereabouts and try to figure out his intentions, but they just can't bring it up and talk about it openly.

As for the emperor, how could he not know this?

After all, you can resist what people say, but you can't resist people's hearts!

Whether the emperor wants to investigate or not depends on his intentions and whether there is direct evidence.

"Let me ask you...was it Concubine Wan who found Fuzi's body? Was she frightened and fell ill because of it?"

The emperor was silent for a while, and then asked An Lingrong about the details of Fuzi's death.

"Yes." An Lingrong did not hide anything and directly told the emperor everything she knew firsthand from Huanbi.

After the emperor heard this, his eyes were filled with emotion. After a long while, he asked, "What about Concubine Wan?"

As soon as this question was asked, An Lingrong knew the emperor's thoughts as clearly as a mirror.

It seems that she had misunderstood before!

When the emperor saw him, it was just like Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong!

An Lingrong learned this allusion from Zhen Huan two days ago.

Now that it was applied to the emperor, she felt it was extremely appropriate.

To ordinary people, the emperor wanted to see her, either because he wanted to punish Concubine Hua and vent the queen's anger, or because he wanted to exonerate Concubine Hua and let her go lightly.

But who would have thought that what the emperor is concerned about now is Zhen Huan's safety?

"Since the Empress fell ill, I have been staying in Jingren Palace and have not been back to Suiyuxuan. I am not very clear about Sister Wan's condition, but I have already sent someone to invite the imperial physician. There should be nothing serious!"

An Lingrong revealed the reason why she couldn't go back, and then comforted the emperor, saying that Zhen Huan would definitely be fine.

After all, it was just a cold and a fright, what could go wrong?

"You have no sense of duty. What I have said to you today must not be disclosed to others!"

When the emperor heard that Zhen Huan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at An Lingrong and first gave her a warning.

"I will obey your Majesty's command!"

An Lingrong nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Of course she knew that this word could not be spread out, otherwise not only would it put Zhen Huan in trouble, but the Queen and Concubine Hua would immediately regard Zhen Huan as a "hidden danger". By then, the entire Sui Yuxuan would not have peace.

Yongzheng was very satisfied with An Lingrong's tact. After thinking for a while, he said gently, "You are very attentive to the Queen and abide by the palace rules. This time, you have done a great job. Someone, come and convey my decree to confer An the title of Concubine!"
