An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"The Queen Mother actually asked me to copy the palace rules!"

Since Sun Zhuxi was carrying the Empress Dowager's decree, he naturally did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He immediately rushed to Yikun Palace without stopping, and then announced the Empress Dowager's order to Concubine Hua.

Upon learning this, Concubine Hua’s eyes widened in an instant.

"Aunt, are you sure you didn't misunderstand me?"

Looking at the old woman in front of her, Concubine Hua's chest heaved violently, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

My brother has just angered the Emperor, and I have no way to see him. Is the Queen Mother going to add insult to injury?

"My Lady, I came here on the orders of the Queen Mother. How dare I convey the wrong orders?"

Sun Zhuxi lowered his eyebrows and eyes and waved his hand.

The little palace maid who came with her presented her with a stack of blank booklets and a very complete copy of "Palace Rules".

It was obvious that the Queen Mother was not just talking, but really wanted Concubine Hua to copy these things into hundreds of volumes!

For this purpose, the Queen Mother directly asked Sun Zhuxi to bring all the necessary hard tools to Concubine Hua.

Because it was a gift from the Queen Mother, if Concubine Hua failed to complete it, or dared to damage it in the slightest, the Queen Mother could use this as an excuse to cause trouble!

When Concubine Hua saw this, she felt mixed emotions and her expression was indescribable.

Fortunately, Sun Zhuxi was not a person who would make things difficult for others. It was difficult for her to comment on the experience of this imperial concubine, so she just stayed aside quietly without urging anyone.

It was not until a long while later that Concubine Hua finally came to her senses and forced a smile.

"I understand what the Queen Mother meant! Thank you, Auntie, for coming to deliver your message so late at night! Songzhi, show the guests out!"

Concubine Hua never said she wanted to take the things from the beginning to the end, and it took almost all her strength to say the three words "I understand".

Fortunately, Songzhi was quite smart. She gave the two shivering little palace maids a look and asked them to come forward and take all those things.

At the same time, Songzhi personally carried out Concubine Hua's order and sent the other party out of the palace.

Only after making sure that Sun Zhuxi had left did Songzhi dare to go back and meet Concubine Hua again.

"My lady..."

Songzhi originally wanted to persuade Concubine Hua not to feel too sad, but as soon as she came in, she found that the other party was no longer in the hall.

After some searching, Songzhi finally found Concubine Hua in the study.

Concubine Hua usually doesn't like literature and rarely comes into this study.

But now Songzhi saw that the other party had already started copying the hundred copies of the "Palace Rules" required by the Queen Mother, and her face turned pale with fright.

"What are you still standing there for? Come over here and grind the ink for me! Do you want me to do it myself?"

Concubine Hua did not go to see Songzhi, but just gave a faint instruction.

Songzhi was startled when she heard this, and didn't dare to say anything. She just went to the desk obediently and started to grind ink for her master.

"Haha... Since the Queen Mother wants me to write here, I will do as she says!"

Concubine Hua was copying the palace rules while muttering to herself.

Songzhi was listening to her master's mumbling and before she knew it, she was sweating profusely.

However, considering that Concubine Hua's mood had finally calmed down, Song Zhi didn't dare to say anything and could only do her job obediently.

"Songzhi, do you think my brother will be safe? Is the emperor really so heartless?"

After copying for a while, Concubine Hua seemed tired and suddenly asked Songzhi these questions.

After hearing this, Song Zhi, who was already very nervous, suddenly widened her eyes, and then said without hesitation: "Don't worry, your majesty! The general is a lucky man! How could anything happen to him? The emperor has misunderstood the general now, and he is angry. When the emperor figures it out, everything will be fine!"

As if to increase her credibility, Songzhi nodded vigorously as she spoke.

"I hope so."

Concubine Hua closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were full of determination.

At this moment, Zhou Ninghai suddenly came to report.

"what happened?"

Seeing Zhou Ninghai coming in, Songzhi asked before Concubine Hua could speak.

Zhou Ninghai said, "Your Majesty, it is Eunuch Su who has arrived."

"Eunuch Su?"

When she heard that it was Su Peisheng who came, Concubine Hua, who had been expressionless, suddenly brightened up and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

"Is there any order from the Emperor?"

Concubine Hua's question left Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai at a loss for words.

Su Peisheng was the chief eunuch beside the emperor. He came to Yikun Palace at this time, which must be because of the emperor's order.

But no one can say for sure what exactly caused it to happen.

"Songzhi! Help me over here!"

Because she had been copying for a long time, Concubine Hua felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground because of excitement.

After standing firmly by holding on to the table, Concubine Hua asked Songzhi to support her to meet Su Peisheng.

……

In the hall, Su Peisheng had been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Concubine Hua coming out, he stepped forward to greet her with a smile.

"Your servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine! May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good fortune!"

Concubine Hua waved her hand and said calmly, "You are welcome, sir. But I don't know what can I do for you at this late hour?"

"I dare not disturb you, Your Majesty. This is the Emperor's order. You are summoned to the Yangxin Palace to see me!"

Su Peisheng told Emperor Yongzheng the order and signaled Concubine Hua to leave quickly.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Hearing that it was indeed the emperor who wanted to see her, Concubine Hua took a deep breath, and without even bothering to change her clothes, she followed Su Peisheng out, got on the carriage, and hurried to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

……

Inside the Yangxin Hall, the lights are brightly lit.

Due to the power of the floor heating and the stove, the entire palace was filled with steam, in stark contrast to the wind and snow outside.

Concubine Hua stood in the hall, not as naturally as usual, but with lowered head and submissive eyes. After paying her respects to the emperor, the other party did not say a word, so she could only maintain a half-kneeling position.

Because no one was talking, the atmosphere seemed unusually quiet. From time to time, only the crackling sound of charcoal fire echoed in the hall, bringing a little sound.

"Empress Hua, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

After a long silence, Yongzheng put down the memorial he had been reading for a long time, turned to look at Concubine Hua, and asked this question.

"Your Majesty, I just want to say that my brother is loyal to you! I am the same! But Your Majesty knows that my brother is a military commander, and he has been fighting for you all the time, so he is bound to act rashly. That memorial may be my brother's congratulations to you, but his words were not expressive enough, which angered you. Please consider my brother's hard work in the past and let him off the hook!"

As early as when she caused a big fuss in the Yangxin Palace during the day, Concubine Hua had already prepared a lot of excuses.

It’s a pity that he failed to meet Yongzheng, so naturally all these words remained in his stomach.

Now being summoned by the Emperor in the middle of the night, Concubine Hua was ecstatic.

When the emperor began to ask, she immediately began to plead for Nian Gengyao without hesitation.

However, as soon as he said this, Yongzheng immediately closed his eyes.

"Even now, you still care about your brother! Very good, Nian Gengyao really has a good sister!"

Yongzheng had a smile on his face, but his tone was as cold as the howling snow and wind outside.

After hearing this, Concubine Hua felt her heart drop to the bottom of the valley.

However, this was not the end. The emperor’s next words made Concubine Hua feel cold all over!
