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

When An Lingrong entered the Qinzheng Hall, she saw the emperor bent over his desk handling government affairs. She had no choice but to quietly step forward and stand beside him to serve him, not daring to disturb him.

While grinding ink, he was wondering whether it was because of that incident.

"You're here." The emperor looked up, saw that it was An Lingrong, and extended his hand to her.

An Lingrong was stunned at first when she heard the voice, then she came back to her senses and looked at the emperor. Seeing that the emperor stretched out his hand towards her, she suddenly felt relieved.

I think the reason why she was summoned today might not be because of that matter. Even if it was, the emperor should not blame her for doing so.

"Your Majesty sent Rong'er over here, but did you remember that the ink that Rong'er grinds is fine enough?" An Lingrong showed a gentle smile, put down the ink stick in her hand, and handed it to the emperor.

"I remember that your father was the magistrate of Songyang County." When the emperor said this, An Lingrong's heart suddenly tightened again.

"Your Majesty remembers correctly that my father was the magistrate of Songyang County. Why did Your Majesty mention my father today?" An Lingrong secretly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, calmed her mind, and spoke in a voice that was completely 'gentlemanly'.

The voice was soft and gentle. The emperor immediately looked up at An Lingrong, and his tone softened instantly. He said, "It's okay. There is something that involves your father. I think he is innocent. I will tell you after I find out the truth."

"Your Majesty, what did father do wrong? Father is currently in the capital accompanying mother to treat her eye disease. There are many nobles in the capital. Did father offend any of them?

Father has always been cautious. If he offended someone he shouldn't have offended, there must be a reason. I hope Your Majesty can understand this."

An Lingrong knelt down immediately after saying this, her eyes filled with tears. She just waited for the emperor to look at her, and the tears began to flow.

"You said your father is in the capital?" The emperor looked at An Lingrong and saw tears streaming down her face, looking so pitiful. He reached out to wipe away her tears and pulled her up.

"Father took leave at the end of April and brought mother from Songyang County to Beijing to treat her eye disease. Your Majesty, is it because of my father's visit to Beijing that the county's government affairs have been delayed?

Your Majesty, please blame me for this. If my mother's eyes are not treated, I am afraid she will never see again. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." An Lingrong continued to shed tears and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Don't be afraid, Rong'er. Since your father has taken leave, this matter has nothing to do with him. Get up, your father, I will protect him." The emperor comforted An Lingrong softly. After hearing this, An Lingrong felt relieved.

"Is what the emperor said true?" An Lingrong looked at the emperor, and when she saw him nod, she burst into laughter.

"Of course it's true. Has your mother's eye disease gotten better? Do you want me to send a royal physician to take a look?" The emperor said as he wiped the tears from the corners of An Lingrong's eyes.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. My mother has no official position, no imperial decree, and is just a commoner. How could she trouble the imperial physician?

A few days ago, I asked Dr. Wen to help me find a doctor in Beijing. Dr. Wen checked my pulse last time and said that my mother's eye disease could be cured. I haven't figured out how to thank Dr. Wen yet."

An Lingrong bowed, her voice gentle, and her smile through her tears made the emperor feel even more sympathetic.

"Doctor Wen is good. Don't worry. I will reward him for this matter..."

When An Lingrong walked out of the Qinzheng Hall, the dazzling sunlight was shining, but she didn't feel hot at all. Just now in the hall, she was really afraid that she would say something wrong and put her father in trouble. Now, she finally saw the sunlight.

Only after the matter was completely settled did the final result of the incident come to light. The emperor ordered the search of Jiang Wenqing's house, but did not involve anyone else.

The civil and military officials outside praised the emperor for his approach of "dealing with the matter at hand and not implicating others". The emperor was very pleased to hear this and came to Zhan Jing Zhai that night.

An Lingrong naturally complimented the emperor again, and the emperor drank two more cups. Until the fourth watch, An Lingrong was still cursing herself for being crazy for daring to persuade the emperor to drink two more cups...

After that, I don’t know if it was because I found a new and refreshing feeling with An Lingrong after drinking last time, or if I was just in a good mood, but I came to Zhan Jing Zhai more often than to Bitong Academy.

After the beginning of autumn, the weather became cooler in the mornings and evenings. After all, An Bihuai had a job to do. After this incident, An Lingrong asked Aunt Xiao to accompany An Bihuai back to Songyang County and told her to keep an eye on him. For the sake of Wen Ge's future, she must not let him commit any acts of corruption or abuse of power.

An Lingrong talked about An Bihuai and An Fuwen's future together, and Aunt Xiao even swore that she would give it her all, so An Lingrong felt relieved.

As for Madam An, An Lingrong asked Aunt Xiao to leave behind the maids and old women who had been serving Madam An before she left. Those people were also very understanding. Juqing's brother and sister-in-law would visit from time to time, and nothing happened.

As the weather grew cooler, the Emperor took his concubines back to the Forbidden City. When leaving the garden, Concubine Hua's carriage was still behind the Empress'. Because of the war in the southwest, Concubine Hua had regained favor, and the ceremonial procession was much more dazzling than when she came here.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, although the Queen had recovered from her illness, Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing were still busy with the trivial affairs of the harem, and their workload had obviously been reduced a lot.

After the Emperor summoned Shen Meizhuang once, he issued an oral decree: saying that there were many things to do during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he restored Concubine Hua's authority to assist in managing the six palaces.

For a moment, Shen Meizhuang regretted deeply. She didn't expect that her words just to make the emperor feel sorry for her would actually benefit Concubine Hua. If it were just that, it would be fine, but the queen was even more annoyed with Shen Meizhuang because of this. She didn't give her a good look when she paid her respects to her several times.

After Hua Fei regained power, she became even more proud. Although Lipin and Cao Qinmo were no longer by her side, her look of "no one can do anything to me" did not diminish in the slightest.

The profits of Yiqingzhai far exceeded An Lingrong's expectations. Juqing said that her brother had told her that nowadays the incense in the shop is often sold out even though the price is not low.

"What do you think, brother?" An Lingrong asked as she wrote a new prescription.

"My brother said he wanted to find a bigger place to make incense, and he also wanted to find a bigger shop." Ju Qing said while grinding ink.

"Then do it." An Lingrong continued to write.

"My lady, there is something. My brother doesn't want to disturb you, but I still think you should know it." Ju Qing stopped what she was doing and looked at An Lingrong.

"You say." An Lingrong put down the pen in her hand and reached out to take the powder box beside her. Ju Qing hurriedly held the box and handed it to her. An Lingrong scooped two spoonfuls of powder and placed them on the small scale.

"The morning before yesterday, when we just opened Yiqingzhai, a few big men came up to make trouble, saying that the lady in the family used our incense and vomited continuously, and threatened to smash Yiqingzhai." Ju Qing spoke, and An Lingrong was stunned, and asked hurriedly:

"Why are you telling you this now? Is your brother okay?" An Lingrong looked anxious.

She had no power or influence in the capital, and had never done business, but she knew that once her business was good, she would be envied, and then someone would do bad things. Now, the thing she feared the most had finally happened...
