"Rong'er, why can't he understand me a little? It's just a poem. A poem can turn hostility into friendship. Why does he force me to take action? I don't want to kill anyone."

The emperor covered his forehead with his hands, his back was hunched, and he sat there with his body hunched, looking dejected.

"Rong'er, I'm so tired." The emperor spoke slowly. An Lingrong looked at him. At that moment, she felt that he was not as tall as she had imagined...

"Your Majesty, if you are tired, please take a rest. I will ask Eunuch Su to make a bowl of soothing soup for you. Your Majesty will feel better after a good sleep."

An Lingrong spoke and began to rub his temples. The emperor reached out and held An Lingrong's hand and nodded.

The emperor took some tranquilizing soup and slept from morning till afternoon...

"How does the emperor feel?" Seeing the emperor waking up, An Lingrong stepped forward and helped him get up.

The emperor felt that he had a very good sleep and nodded to An Lingrong.

"What is this fragrance? I think it smells nice and refreshing." The emperor sniffed the smell in the palace and found it a little different from before, so he asked.

"I just burned some mint and lily incense that I made myself." An Lingrong said with a smile. The emperor heard it and sniffed it again. He thought it was really good and nodded again.

"Rong'er, except for you, I can't find anyone else in this harem who can satisfy my heart as much as you do..."

As the emperor spoke, he pulled up An Lingrong, who had just fastened the jade pendant on him, and asked her to look into his eyes.

"I am the emperor's concubine, so naturally I know him best." An Lingrong looked at the emperor with a faint smile on her face and a gentle tone.

"You are right. You and I are husband and wife, so you naturally understand me best." The emperor said as he held An Lingrong's hands with a deep look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I..." An Lingrong was stunned at first, then spoke quickly.

It was nothing, she was just used to being cautious, how could she dare to acknowledge the word "husband and wife"?

"Rong'er, if I say yes, then it is." The emperor spoke, lowering his head to block what An Lingrong was about to say...

After a long time, the emperor let go of An Lingrong. After An Lingrong came back to her senses, she sat back on the bed, calmed herself down, and then ordered Su Peisheng to prepare lunch. The emperor ate while smiling at An Lingrong.

"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me while you are eating?!" An Lingrong glared at the emperor unhappily, and the emperor smiled even more...

After that day, Emin reported that Zhen Yuandao in prison still refused to write poetry. The emperor was furious and ordered the Zhen family to be exiled to Ningguta...

He also wanted to know how hard Zhen Yuandao's bones were!

Royal Garden.

As the day of delivery was approaching, Zhen Huan should not go out anymore, but the osmanthus tree in Sui Yuxuan had been reduced to ashes in the fire. Now if she wanted to drink osmanthus honey, she could only come to the Imperial Garden to collect it.

It was getting close to evening. Zhen Huan had been feeling depressed in the courtyard all day. Seeing Liu Zhu carrying a basket and preparing to go out, and thinking that the Imperial Garden was nearby, she called Jin Xi and Xiao Yun Zi and went to the Imperial Garden together.

The Imperial Garden in the evening seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. It was exceptionally quiet at this time. Zhen Huan sat on a stone bench, watching them picking osmanthus flowers, and felt a rare sense of comfort in her heart.

With the help of Xiao Yunzi, Liu Zhu quickly filled the small basket and ran towards Zhen Huan with a smile.

"My lady, when I have pickled the osmanthus flowers, I will make you some osmanthus milk pancakes, okay?" Liu Zhu said with a smile, and Zhen Huan nodded.

"My lady, shall we go back?" Jin Xi stepped forward and helped Zhen Huan up, and Zhen Huan nodded.

Unexpectedly, before leaving the Imperial Garden, he met Concubine Qi.

Zhen Huan didn't want to argue with her, so she wanted to go back by another route, and signaled Jing Xi to take another route.

Zhen Huan turned around, but was blocked by Concubine Qi.

"How dare you! Lady Qi, when meeting my master, it would be fine if you didn't greet her, but why did you block our way?!" Seeing this, Liu Zhu stepped forward and protected Zhen Huan behind him.

"Oh? I actually forgot that there is a Concubine Wan in this palace? When the emperor took us to the Old Summer Palace, I didn't see you there, and I didn't see you when he came back. I thought..."

As Concubine Qi spoke, she covered her mouth with a sly smile on her face.

Liu Zhu was furious when he heard this, and just as he was about to step forward to argue, Concubine Qi spoke up:

"May Empress Wanpin be healthy and blessed." As she said this, she actually bowed.

"Get up. I want to go back to Sui Yuxuan. Please move aside." Zhen Huan spoke, and Concubine Qi stood up and also made way.

"Ah, you have a miserable life. Your father was imprisoned, and the whole Zhen family suffered with him. Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know if you can endure such a cold and bitter place like Ningguta..." Just as Zhen Huan took two steps, Concubine Qi said, shaking her head behind her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhen Huan stopped and turned around, glaring at Concubine Qi.

"What? You don't know yet? How could I be talking nonsense about something that everyone in the palace knows? If you don't believe it, just ask someone to find out. Why would I lie to you?" Seeing that Zhen Huan was anxious, Concubine Qi had a gloating smile on her face.

"Is everything you said true?" Zhen Huan took a step forward and stared at Concubine Qi.

"Don't look at me like that. Why would I lie to you?" Concubine Qi felt that Zhen Huan's face was a little ferocious, and after saying that, she turned around and left with her people...

"Jinxi, Xiaoyunzi, go and find out..." Zhen Huan ordered, but Jinxi and Xiaoyunzi lowered their heads.

"What? You all knew? You all knew but you kept it from me?!" Zhen Huan said as tears began to flow.

"My lady, you are about to give birth. We were afraid to tell you..." Jing Xi started to explain, but Zhen Huan's legs went weak.

"Young Master..." Jinxi and Liuzhu reacted quickly and supported her on each side.

"I want to see the emperor... I want to see the emperor! Go to the Yangxin Palace, I want to see the emperor..." Zhen Huan opened her mouth, tears already streaming down her face.

"My lady, I'll ask Xiao Yunzi to call the sedan chair, and we'll go back to Suiyuxuan to clean up first..." Jingxi spoke, and Zhen Huan wiped the tears from her face and nodded.

"Go get my fire-sand-colored dress, Jinxi, and paint me the distant mountains." Zhen Huan sat in front of the mirror and ordered. Jinxi hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement...

Before leaving, Zhen Huan looked at herself in the mirror, who no longer looked like herself. She raised her hand and touched the bronze mirror in front of her, feeling unhappy...

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan requests to see you." Su Peisheng came in to report, and the emperor put down the pen in his hand.

"Let her in." The emperor said, picked up the rosary at hand and started turning it.

"May the emperor be healthy and well." Zhen Huan spoke, and the emperor looked up at Zhen Huan.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, he was startled. His throat moved slightly, and he calmed himself down and said, "What do you want from me?"
