An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

When Fu Cha heard this, he knew that An Lingrong and Concubine Qi were in collusion, so he slowly opened his mouth:

"Then Concubine Duan has a really good memory. Do you remember who the maids are who sweep the floor in my palace? Oh, let's not talk about the maids who sweep the floor for now. Let's just talk about how many maids there are who cook in my kitchen. That will be easier to remember."

"You two." Concubine Duan spoke, but Fu Cha shook his head.

"Your Majesty may have forgotten that since the birth of Wangshu, the Emperor made an exception and added a Nanny Liu to my palace..." Fu Cha spoke with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Concubine Duan looked at Fu Cha, fearing that she was deceiving her, and did not dare to speak nonsense again. If she made a mistake again, she would have no chance to make amends. But the fact was, what Fu Cha said was all the truth.

"Let's not talk about this for now. How did Concubine Duan know that the man kneeling outside was Xiao Hezi? He was sent to the Ministry of Punishment as soon as he was caught. I didn't even know about it. Your Majesty found out so quickly..." An Lingrong spoke slowly, and Concubine Duan's face changed...

"Concubine Duan, do you have anything else to say?" The emperor spoke with a cold tone...

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince and I are wronged in this matter. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly..." Concubine Duan said as she bowed fully to the Emperor.

"What about you? Will you plead guilty?" The emperor looked at Hongshi, who couldn't help trembling and said:

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I can swear to heaven that I have never thought of harming my fifth brother." Hongshi said as he prostrated himself on the ground and did not get up for a long time.

The emperor looked at the two people kneeling down, and spoke slowly after a long while:

"The third prince Hongshi, as the elder brother, not only did he not set a good example, but he was also jealous by nature, so he was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum for half a year.

Concubine Duan, you didn't discipline the Third Prince strictly, which led to a disaster. I remember that you have served me for many years, so I demote you to a concubine. You should reflect on your mistakes in Changchun Palace. The affairs of the six palaces will be handed over to Concubine Jing. "

After the emperor finished speaking, Concubine Duan seemed to feel as if the sky had fallen. She looked at the emperor in disbelief, and tears began to flow:

"Your Majesty, I am innocent, and so is the Third Prince. It is all Concubine Qi who is behind all this. No, it is also Concubine Chen. Concubine Qi is stupid, and it must be Concubine Chen who is giving her advice behind the scenes. Your Majesty..."

"Is Concubine Duan crazy?! If what you said is true, then wouldn't I be helping the culprit who harmed Sheng'er? Is Concubine Duan crazy? Or am I crazy?!" An Lingrong spoke in anger, glaring at Concubine Duan who was kneeling below.

Concubine Duan met An Lingrong's fierce eyes and dared not speak for a moment, but she did not move either...

"Someone, send Concubine Duan back." The emperor raised his hand and two maids came in.

"Empress Duan, please come in." The two maids were quite polite and made a gesture of invitation.

Concubine Duan stood up and looked at Concubine Qi with a hint of cruelty in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am scared, my stomach aches..." Concubine Qi stood up and walked to the emperor, and began to wipe her tears...

"Please go out." The emperor was also very upset, so he spoke again. The nanny looked at Concubine Duan, as if to say, if the queen doesn't leave, I will take action...

Concubine Duan glanced at Concubine Qi again and walked out of the palace.

"You go too!" The emperor looked at Hongshi who was still kneeling below. Hongshi was already crying and having snot.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I'll go right away..." Hongshi said as he stood up and bowed to the emperor before turning around and leaving.

"Everyone go." The emperor spoke, and all the concubines stood up and responded "yes", then left one by one.

"Rong'er, Hongshi is also my son. I can only give him a light punishment and a severe warning." After everyone left, the emperor held An Lingrong's hand with an apologetic look on his face.

He also didn't expect that it was Hongshi who ordered someone to do this. The palms and backs of his hands are all made of flesh, and after thinking about it, he could only think of it as this.

"I understand, and I also believe that the Third Prince must have been bewitched." An Lingrong spoke, looking very "considerate".

"I am ashamed of you and Sheng'er." After hearing this, the emperor felt that An Lingrong was the one who understood him the most, and he felt even more guilty.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Meng is here." Ju Qing came in to report, and An Lingrong went to the side hall with the emperor...

*

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and the weather was getting colder. The emperor sent Prince Guo to the southwest just like in the previous life. When An Lingrong heard the news, she knew that Zhen Huan was coming back...

"Empress, what's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded recently?" Ju Qing looked at An Lingrong who was in a daze again and asked with concern.

"Nothing, is Sheng'er back?" An Lingrong came back to her senses and forced a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's only the afternoon now, how could the Fifth Prince come back? What happened to you these days? I'll ask Xiao Zhongzi to ask Imperial Doctor Meng to come and see you..." Juqing spoke with a worried look on her face.

"I'm fine. There was something I couldn't figure out before, but I finally figured it out today. Ask the kitchen to add a dish of rice wine dumplings with hawthorn filling. Qianyue was clamoring to eat them yesterday." An Lingrong said with a smile, and Juqing agreed and walked out.

There was no other reason. These days, she was thinking carefully about what happened after Zhen Huan returned to the palace in the previous life.

In her previous life, after she returned to the palace, she seemed to have become a different person. An Lingrong initially thought that the emperor had met Zhen Huan when he left the palace, or that she had used some trick to return to the palace, and her purpose of returning to the palace was to save the Zhen family from Ningguta...

But now she doesn't feel that way...

If she really just wanted the Zhen family to come back, then why did she leave the palace in the first place? Why didn't she come back earlier? Why did she come back after Prince Guo disappeared?

Was it for the sake of her unborn child having a royal identity? Or something else? And why did she change her temperament so drastically?

She was having a headache asking herself the answers to these questions every day...

Now she has figured it out. No matter why she came back, as long as she doesn't get in her way, she will just pretend she doesn't exist as before.
