At the beginning of March, the emperor summoned An Lingrong to the Yangxin Palace.

"May the emperor be healthy and well." As An Lingrong entered the room, she saw the emperor sitting on the Luohan bed with a slightly frown on his face. He hadn't even opened the book on the table.

"You're here." The emperor extended his hand, and An Lingrong sat opposite him.

"Your Majesty summoned me here, what's the matter?" An Lingrong spoke, and the emperor looked at An Lingrong.

"There's news coming from Anqi Temple that the people underground didn't keep it a secret, Concubine Shu knew about Old Seventeen's death and she's forbidden to eat or drink.

The Queen Mother was very upset when she found out about this. I summoned you here because I want you to go to Anqi Temple this afternoon to comfort Concubine Shu. "The Emperor spoke, and An Lingrong nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, Xia Qian requests to see you." Su Peisheng came in to report. The emperor raised his hand, and Su Peisheng called Xia Qian in.

"Your Majesty, may you be well. Your Majesty, may you be well." Xia Qian bowed to both of them, looked at the Emperor, and said nothing.

"You say, Imperial Concubine Chen is not an outsider." The emperor spoke, and Xia Qian bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty, someone tampered with Prince Guo's boat, which led to this disaster." Xia Qian spoke, and An Lingrong also looked surprised.

"How outrageous! Those guys are so outrageous! Send someone to investigate! I want to know whose hand is so long!" The emperor was so angry that he slapped the low table beside him.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Xia Qian spoke, and An Lingrong also stood up and knelt down.

"Add more people and continue the search. I want to see the person alive or dead!" The emperor spoke with a face full of anger. Xia Qian took the order and retreated.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Prince Guo is a lucky man and will return safely." An Lingrong hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, stroked the emperor's hand, and then served him some tea to reduce fever.

"It's been so long since this happened, and all we've heard is news of his death. It was me who sent him to Yunnan and Tibet, and I'm sorry for him. He's the only brother I was close to, and now he's gone..." After the emperor finished speaking, he sighed and put down the teacup he had just taken.

"Your Majesty, I know you are worried, but you still need to pay attention to your health." An Lingrong said, mocking in her heart, why is he the only close brother, doesn't she know it in her heart? !

Moreover, Zhen Huan had been having an affair with Prince Guo for a long time. If he knew, I wonder if he would still care about this useless brotherhood...

An Lingrong regained her composure and comforted the emperor before leaving the Yangxin Palace.

Just as he walked out of the door of the Yangxin Palace, he met Ye Lanyi who was about to come in.

"May the Royal Concubine Chen live in peace and good health." Ye Lanyi bowed, and An Lingrong raised her hand and said, "Noble Lady Ning, please do not bow."

"Your Majesty, how is the Emperor? I heard that he fell ill." Ye Lan Yi asked, and An Lingrong was surprised.

Didn't she hate the emperor in the past? Normally, if the emperor didn't summon her, she would never take the initiative to come to the Yangxin Palace. Why is she so active today? ...

An Lingrong looked at Ye Lan'yi with a little scrutiny in her eyes. Ye Lan'yi felt her burning gaze and her eyes flashed slightly unconsciously.

"Prince Guo is missing. The Emperor has suppressed the matter and ordered capable people to do their best to find him, but his whereabouts are still unknown. The Emperor has been a little angry these days, but it's not a big deal..."

An Lingrong spoke, inadvertently observing Ye Lanyi's expression, and saw the sadness and desolation in Ye Lanyi's eyes.

An Lingrong deliberately revealed this to her, thinking that since she asked, she must have heard some news and came to inquire. After some probing, she felt that she was right again. The person she cared about was Prince Guo...

"The Emperor has ordered me to leave the palace this afternoon to visit Concubine Shu and comfort her. If you have nothing else to do, please go with me so that I can have someone to accompany me on the journey." An Lingrong spoke, wanting to test the waters again.

"I'm fine. When will the imperial concubine leave?" Ye Lanyi asked, and An Lingrong felt relieved.

"Let's set off after lunch. The earlier we go, the earlier we come back." After saying this, An Lingrong turned around and walked towards Chengqian Palace.

"Your concubine respectfully bids farewell to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen." Ye Lanyi's voice came from behind, and An Lingrong could hear the gratitude in her tone.

After turning a corner, An Lingrong glanced back and saw Ye Lanyi leaving without even entering the Yangxin Palace. She felt emotional: What a brave person...

As soon as An Lingrong finished her lunch, Ye Lan'yi came to Chengqian Palace and waited for her, almost wanting to help An Lingrong clean up.

After the two of them got in the sedan chair and then changed to a horse-drawn carriage to leave the palace, the nervous expression on Ye Lanyi's face suddenly improved a lot.

"Don't be nervous. We are just going to comfort Concubine Shu. She has a gentle personality. You don't have to be afraid." An Lingrong spoke to comfort her. Ye Lan'yi looked up at An Lingrong.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your comfort." Ye Lanyi spoke with a hint of gratitude on her face.

"I still remember how you looked when I first saw you. At that time, you were taming a black horse, and you turned around with a smile on your face. Why do I feel that you don't smile much after entering the palace?" An Lingrong asked with a smile while sitting in the carriage.

"Since the Imperial Concubine has asked, I will answer truthfully. I don't like the palace. I would rather be a horse trainer in the Old Summer Palace all my life, free and unfettered..." Ye Lan Yi said with a wry smile on her face.

"That's right. Everyone says that this palace is good. But if you're not in it, who knows the unpleasantness inside." An Lingrong also sighed with a smile. Ye Lan'yi looked at An Lingrong and her eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, do you also feel that wealth and glory are not as important as freedom?" Ye Lanyi asked, but An Lingrong shook her head.

"As a woman, what you think in your heart is not important. It's all for the sake of letting your family live a decent life..." An Lingrong looked gloomy, but Ye Lanyi gently opened a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the scenery outside.

"It will happen." She murmured softly, and these inexplicable words really hit An Lingrong's heart hard. Will it?

An Lingrong thought about it and lifted the curtain on the other side, and what she saw was the tender green grass...

Soon, the carriage arrived at the foot of Lingyun Peak. The two of them changed sedan chairs. Xiao Zhongzi said he would go in and report first, but An Lingrong shook her head.

"Concubine Shu is an elder, there is no reason for her to greet me. Let's go together..." An Lingrong spoke, and Xiao Zhongzi nodded.
