An Lingrong after rebirth

"Your Majesty, I didn't know that there was such a skilled embroidery maid in your palace. Rong'er's embroidery skills are naturally not worthy of others' skills."

"As soon as the emperor said this, Chunying immediately said, "Your Majesty, Madam, I used to work in the clothing department, so I have some skills in embroidery."

"When Chunying said this, she had revealed all of Chunyan's secrets. The emperor looked at Chunyan's sudden change of expression and finally lost his patience."

"Su Peisheng, take this man to the Ministry of Punishment and torture him severely. I don't believe that you can't find out who is behind this. Who is so bold as to have such evil thoughts about the child in Shupin's belly?"

"After so much fuss, An Lingrong is already impatient. Chunyan is the person Jian Qiu had contacted privately before. An Lingrong didn't expect to use this incident to give the Queen any leverage."

"If the emperor catches me, it will be a pleasant surprise as long as I can have some peace in my palace."

"Su Peisheng received the emperor's order, so he naturally did not hesitate at all. He waved his hand and two young eunuchs came up, ignoring Chun's stunned look. They dragged people outside."

"After dragging Chunyan for seven or eight steps, Chunyan couldn't help but howl in fear. Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"Is this not the work of this servant? Is it the Emperor... Before she could finish her words, her voice suddenly stopped. An Lingrong supported Shen Meizhuang and turned around to speak when she heard a scream from the eunuch below."

"If I turn my head again, Shen Meizhuang will block my eyes. Rong'er, don't look. An Lingrong reached out and held Shen Meizhuang's hand. Sister, I'm fine."

"Only when Shen Meizhuang saw An Lingrong's persistence did she slowly put down her hands. Chunyan, who was lying at the feet of several young eunuchs, had her body tilted to one side, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, staining the ground. It was obvious that she was no longer alive."

"An Lingrong was not too surprised by this. She turned to look at the emperor, Your Majesty..."

"The emperor's face was gloomy. Su Peisheng, please investigate who it is that dares to be so presumptuous! Trash!"

"The Queen is not Qi Yuebin. Her methods and power are incomparable to the other party. Qi Yuebin asked Dingpin's mother to poison the Third Princess for the sake of the Third Princess, and even took the eunuch's life in front of the Emperor!"

It was a pity that the tail was not cut off cleanly, and no effort was wasted, and the truth was revealed.

"But the Queen's methods are incomparable to those of ordinary people. Even if An Lingrong saw Chunyan and Jianqiu contacting each other, she was sure that the Queen must have been behind this."

But she found no evidence, never from beginning to end!

"So knowing that this matter will not have any impact on the Queen, why do we need to bring it up now and make the Queen cautious and the Queen Mother unhappy?"

"I am only a concubine now, and I am not yet at the point where I can ignore the Queen Mother and the Empress."

"It's better to suppress it temporarily now. There will always be a time to overthrow the queen in the future! What is happening right now is definitely something we can't do."

"Seeing the emperor right next to her, An Lingrong's body softened and she fell down. Shen Meizhuang didn't know what happened to An Lingrong and screamed in fear, Rong'er... Rong'er."

"The emperor tightened his grip and pulled An Lingrong up. Mei'er immediately went to call the imperial physician, but there was no need to bother, as Luo Rui was waiting nearby."

"A group of people escorted An Lingrong to the palace. After Luo Rui's pulse diagnosis, An Lingrong was found to be fine. However, this ordeal made the emperor love An Lingrong even more."

"Sitting next to An Lingrong, the jade beads on the emperor's hand turned slightly white at the fingertips due to the pressure he put on his hands. It was obvious that he was very uneasy!"

"After a moment of silence, he spoke up, Su Peisheng, now that Concubine Shu is enjoying the status of a concubine, there shouldn't be only these few people serving in the palace. Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and pick out a few good ones and send them to the Yanxi Palace."

Yes, I will do it right away! Su Peisheng withdrew in response. An Lingrong stretched out her hand and tugged at the emperor's sleeve. The emperor said, "I have little to do now, and having so many people serving me is enough..."

"You are currently enjoying the status of a concubine, so you don't have enough people. Plus, you are pregnant now. When you give birth to a child in the future, you will need more people. It's okay to complete the number of people first!"

"I know you are virtuous, but there is no need to refuse such a thing. An Lingrong pretended to be helpless and said with a smile; Yes, then I would like to thank the emperor for his grace."

"There were only the two of them in the bedroom, so the emperor had no scruples and reached out to hold An Lingrong's hand. Rong'er, were you wronged by what happened today?"

I will let Su Peisheng investigate thoroughly and will definitely give you an explanation. An Lingrong shook her head after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, I know this matter is not easy to investigate. As long as Your Majesty has me in his heart, I will be satisfied."

"You have been with me for a long time, so naturally you are not comparable to others." An Lingrong's smile did not diminish, but she sneered in her heart.

"Yes, who can compare to the position that Chun Yuan holds in your heart? Well, what I want is never the so-called emperor's heart."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying this, An Lingrong lowered her head slightly, with a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, ..."

"The emperor stayed in the Yanxi Palace for half a day, accompanied An Lingrong and her son for breakfast, and returned to the Yangxin Palace for lunch. After the other party left, An Lingrong asked Lian'er to come in."

"Your Highness... Lian'er had a bitter face, as if she had done something wrong. She was obviously still blaming herself for the bowl. An Lingrong smiled. Her trust in Lian'er had never changed!"

"But the other party was sometimes too careless. His face became serious and he asked, "Do you have anything to say about what happened today?"

Lian Er knelt down after hearing this and said, "My queen, it was my negligence that put you in danger. I deserve to die. Please, if you have no other excuses, please punish me."

An Lingrong looked at Lian'er for a moment and said, "You have been with me for quite some time, about four or five years, I guess!"

"Yes, when I was in Laiyang County, your Majesty had already saved me from that cannibalistic den. Your Majesty's great kindness will never be forgotten."

"The place where the human trafficking was carried out was a den where people were eaten. Isn't this harem the same? You have experienced many ups and downs. You must never lose your caution at any time."

"My lady, I understand. I will be more cautious in the future and won't make any mistakes again. Seeing Lian'er's lowered head, An Lingrong waved her hand and said, "You get up first!"

"Yes, thank you, ma'am!"

"When Lian'er stood up, An Lingrong looked at her again. Seeing that the little girl was in a bad mood but had no complaints and looked sincere, she felt relieved."

"It is important that you do not have any thoughts that you should not have. No one is perfect. You have seen what I just said. This harem is not a good place."

"If you are not careful, you will be doomed. You are my personal maid, and there are so many eyes on you in the palace. You should be more careful in the future. I won't blame you this time."

"Lian'er intertwined her fingers, as if she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. Your Majesty, this was my negligence, please punish me!"

"Forget it, you are here to pick up the Seventh Prince. I said there will be no punishment, so there is no need to say anything else," An Lingrong responded. "You also heard what the emperor said."

"We will need more people to come to our palace in the future. Although Qiufang is experienced, she cannot take care of everything. I will need your help in the future."

"My life was saved by your majesty. I am willing to do anything for you! Lian'er's solemn look made An Lingrong burst into laughter."

"Nodded, okay, then I will watch our Lian'er make great strides in the future." After he finished speaking, he continued with a cup of tea: Although Chunying seems to have nothing to do with this matter today.

"But she was framed and had no ability to save herself. People like her are the easiest to be deceived. Find a way to send her back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Yes, I understand. And the maid who testified against Chunyan today, do you still remember her name?"

"Lian Er's expression froze immediately after hearing this, and she said immediately, "Madam, her name is Rong Pei, and she used to do some laundry in our palace."

"It's just that he's not good at dealing with others, so it seems that his relationship with others is not very good. An Lingrong silently said in her heart, this is not important."

"This person seems to be impatient, but he won't drag his feet when doing things. He is a little more tactful than Lian'er, and even more so than Qiufang. I just happen to be lacking someone who can charge into battle."

"The armor gently brushed against the palm of his hand. An Lingrong's voice sounded again, "Go call her over." Lian'er's expression changed, but is she also a problem?"

"An Lingrong shook her head. I think she is a useful person. As the number of people in the harem increases, it will be difficult for you and Qiufang to take care of them all. If she can be used, you will be able to relax."

"Lian'er was about to speak subconsciously, but she held back and knelt towards An Lingrong. Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will be right back."

"After saying that, Lian'er turned and left. An Lingrong rubbed her hands and thought silently. After this incident, when she gives birth safely in the future, she will definitely be the concubine."

"If it comes to this, it will definitely make the Queen wary! Maybe the Queen Mother will not protect me like before. By then..."

Outside the temple

"Lian'er hurried down the stairs, looked up and saw Rong Pei washing clothes in the corner, and quickened her pace."

"Rong Pei".

"Lian'er's footsteps didn't startle her. She didn't look up until Lian'er called her out. The weather is cold now, so we use cold water to wash clothes. Rong Pei's hands were red and a little swollen from the cold."

Looking up and seeing the person in front of her, Rong Pei stood up anxiously, "Sister Lian'er!"

"Lian'er is not a cruel person. When he saw the other person's hands were frozen like this, the slight dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared."

She pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "The Queen is looking for you, hurry up and pack up and follow me!" Rong Pei was stunned after hearing this, and quickly wiped her clothes with both hands, "Sister Lian'er, I... I..."

"Don't be afraid, the Queen just wants to ask you a few questions, so hurry up and go!"

"Although Rong Pei was so righteous and fearless when she testified against Chunyan, she seems to be not afraid of anything. But now that she is following Lian'er into the palace, she is a little more timid."

I, your humble servant Rong Pei, pay my respects to Her Majesty. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health!

"An Lingrong didn't speak immediately, but stared at the other person for a moment. She smiled and said, "Rong Pei, I didn't know before that there was someone like you in my palace."

"Rong Pei was originally slightly bowing her body, but upon hearing these words, she immediately knelt down. I dare not..."
