be a quiet golden finger

Chapter 21

The palace seems to have regained its calm, but it seems that there are bigger waves hidden under the calm.

The queen mother's health is getting worse and worse. She lies on the bed all day, drinking all kinds of soups and medicines, but she is still in a daze for three days.

Zhen Huan was in charge of the harem, and thoughtful about everything. Everyone in the harem looked at Zhen Huan's face, and even the queen gradually didn't care.It's just that the emperor was entangled, and I was just joking, saying that he had a crush on Huanbi, and then that he had a crush on Yuluo, who was staying in the palace for a while, which made Zhen Huan very upset.

Zhen Huan had to spend a lot of thought to marry both Huanbi and Yurao.There were a few more happy events in the palace, and a little more relaxation.

Shen Meizhuang was still lying on the bed and drinking medicine every day, and her child was taken to Zhen Huan's place to be raised, and she only came to see her during the day.

Apart from holding his daughter to play with her every day, An Lingrong also marveled at Shen Meizhuang's body.

Zhang Qianqian had no choice but to silently recite "ignorance is bliss" and happily watched An Lingrong tease the child.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen Mother's health became worse and worse, and she finally went.The emperor mourned unceasingly, and kept vigil for several days. On the 27th, Dai Xiao didn't touch any meat, and his health became a little bad.

Entering winter, the palace became more and more peaceful, but the previous court made frequent moves. Many courtiers who opposed Zhen Huan were pulled out of their roots by the emperor.

The concubines who used to fawn over the queen were the worst, not to mention all of them were left out in the cold, and some of their mothers' families were in ruins, and they themselves were demoted to common people and put into the cold palace.

In order to calm the panic of the concubines in the harem, Zhen Huan persuaded the emperor to seal the harem at the end of the year.An Lingrong was already in the concubine position, so she was given the title of "soft".

Now all the palace people in the palace have bright eyes, and they all know that Zhen Huan has everything in hand, and what she says is more useful than what the queen says, so they all regard Zhen Huan's errands in the palace as the most important thing.

Zhen Huan's popularity was even greater than that of Concubine Hua back then.

The queen was depressed and knew that she had done a lot of bad things, so she could only shrink back in Jingren Palace and gritted her teeth secretly.

In the past, she was protected by the empress dowager, no matter how big a mistake she did, the empress dowager would also protect her, and the emperor could not move her position as empress.But now that the queen mother is gone, she has no amulet, and if she does something bad again, if the emperor finds out, it will not be as easy as before.

Zhang Qianqian thought, the queen was not as trusted by the emperor as before, and the queen mother was dead, so it would be a good choice to bring down the queen at this time.So, Zhang Qianqian told An Lingrong about the Queen's murder of Queen Chunyuan.

An Lingrong was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.What she has been worrying about is that she can't find the Queen's handle.What Zhang Qianqian told her, if it was the truth, would be a big deal.

After receiving such good news, An Lingrong naturally couldn't wait to tell Zhen Huan.She held such a handle in her own hands, and she had no one to check it out, nor did she have a good plan to expose it.Tell Zhen Huan that using Zhen Huan's hand to bring down the queen is the best way.

After Zhen Huan found out about this, her brows were filled with joy, she took An Lingrong's hand, and happily said a few "good" words.After thinking about it, she told An Lingrong to keep the secret and not to be noticed by the queen, so that she could find out the facts secretly and bring the queen down at once.

An Lingrong naturally complied, and returned to the palace silently, still holding the princess in her arms and pretending to be a turtle, but with a smile on her face, anyone who saw her would think that a happy event had happened to her.

Zhen Huan didn't know how to arrange to expose the queen, but first announced that she was pregnant.

An Lingrong was very surprised when she heard that, but thinking about Zhen Huan being favored, it is normal for her to be pregnant.However, less than a year after giving birth to twins, An Lingrong felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Zhen Huan to be busy all the time.

Sure enough, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhen Huan and the empress went into the emperor's bedroom to hang a sachet. The empress suddenly pushed Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan had a miscarriage!

Zhen Huan cried and begged the emperor to make the decision, and then pulled out the queen's murder of Queen Chunyuan and the fact that the concubines in the palace had not been allowed to give birth to children for many years.

The emperor was so angry that he almost killed the queen, but he had to put the queen under house arrest in Jingren Palace when he thought that he had promised the queen mother that she would not be deposed.So far, the queen has been thrown into the cold palace.

The queen's adopted son San Age had a reckless character. His mother died and his adoptive mother was under house arrest. Without the queen's guidance, he went straight to plead with the emperor.

The emperor has always missed the dead Empress Chunyuan all his life. As long as everything has a little relationship with Empress Chunyuan, it will be like looking through a magnifying glass, and even a little bit of badness will become heinous.

At the beginning, Zhen Huan was designed to wear the shoes of Queen Chunyuan, which made the emperor furious and asked to leave the palace.Now that the emperor knew that the queen had killed Bai Yueguang in his heart, the third elder brother kept saying that the adoptive mother was innocent and asked the emperor to forgive him.

The emperor hated the queen to death, and when he saw the third elder brother begging for mercy for the queen, he immediately felt that this son was too useless, and after a loud reprimand, he told him to go back to the elder brother's school and not allowed to come out.

Since the death of his biological mother Concubine Qi, the third elder brother has been coaxed by the queen, saying that he is the one who will inherit the throne.Now that the empress is dead, he was reprimanded by the emperor again. Knowing that he was rejected by the emperor and had no hope, he vomited blood and became seriously ill.

Although the emperor disliked the third elder brother, after all, he had few heirs, and the third elder brother was the oldest child. He suddenly died of illness, and was so sad that he also vomited blood.

All the concubines in the palace took turns to serve the sick, and everyone was very flustered.

Living in the palace, all the concubines rely on is the emperor's favor. If the emperor is not good, what good can they do.

People like Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing have been in the palace for many years, they are already very old, and they have a princess under their knees, so they don't care about other things.

But like An Lingrong, who is only in his twenties, only has a princess, or even doesn't have a princess. Knowing that the emperor is not in good health, he doesn't know what panic looks like.

The emperor had been ill for more than a month, and when he was in better spirits, he got up and went to the court to review the memorials. As in the past, he strictly required himself to be diligent.But after all, I am getting older and my body is not as good as before. Sometimes there will be a treacherous minister in the court, and sometimes someone will form a clique.

An Lingrong occasionally served the emperor, and saw that he was exhausted and had white hair on his temples. He recalled that when he first entered the palace, when he was a teenager, the emperor was also tall.

Now, she only has a princess. If the emperor is really bad one day, will she rely on a princess to live silently in the palace like this, and become an old woman with gray hair?

Although Zhen Huan also served the emperor with a worried face, An Lingrong always felt that Zhen Huan had changed a lot, which was a little weird.

In midsummer, the Yellow River flooded, and because corrupt officials embezzled the money for disaster relief, tens of thousands of victims on both sides of the strait died.When the emperor heard the news, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood on the hall and passed out.

An Lingrong was a little dizzy and uncomfortable at first, but after hearing the news, she had to cheer up to take care of the sickness. Seeing the emperor waking up and falling asleep, she felt vaguely bad.

A month later, the emperor finally regained consciousness, but he couldn't get up.The imperial doctor said that he had a stroke and could only lie paralyzed on the bed.

Zhen Huan served the emperor and did everything by herself. There were also four elder brothers who greeted the emperor every day and reported the affairs of the court to the emperor.The emperor lay on the bed, thinking for a moment that his time was running out, and for a moment he thought that he finally had a fourth elder brother who was promising, and felt relieved.

A few months later, the emperor finally died, and when he was dying, he passed the imperial decree to make the fourth elder brother the crown prince, and died within a few days.

The fourth elder brother ascended the throne as the emperor and enshrined Zhen Huan as the empress dowager, and all the concubines and concubines cried together, crying hard.After the emperor died, they had nothing to rely on, and they had no children, so one was more miserable than the other.

The queen was still imprisoned in Jingren Palace. When she heard that the emperor had passed away, Zhen Huan was so angry that she committed suicide in her own palace that night.

An Lingrong knelt in the hall and wept, feeling sad in his heart.

Originally, the emperor regarded her as a plaything, so many years of living in the palace had also worn away her friendship with the emperor, and she was not too sad when the emperor was gone.

However, she is only 26 years old, and there will be many decades in the future. She will live with the princess in her arms, and die of old age in the palace all her life. I really feel sad when I think about it.

Crying and crying, An Lingrong fainted, and the imperial physician who rushed over to check his pulse found out that he had a happy pulse.

She was pregnant with the emperor's posthumous son!

Now the weeping concubines are even more sad, they all lost their husbands, how could An Lingrong be so lucky to be pregnant with a child at the end of the day.

An Lingrong touched his stomach, and felt that he was lucky.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and Zhen Huan's concubines all changed places to live.Zhen Huan naturally lived in the Queen Mother's original palace by herself, and also asked Shen Meizhuang to live with her, while An Lingrong also got a separate palace because of her pregnancy.

A year later, An Lingrong gave birth to a prince, which was also a great joy in the palace.

The former emperor's concubine would not harm her anymore, and now the emperor's concubine would not harm her either, and with Zhen Huan covering her, An Lingrong's life became more and more comfortable, and she only focused on raising the princess and prince.

Shen Meizhuang's health was getting worse and worse, and after a few years of procrastination, he finally died.

Zhen Huan has long accepted the fact that Shen Meizhuang is not in good health. Seeing that Shen Meizhuang died, she was just sad for a while, and the better for Shen Meizhuang's daughter.

Wen Shichu often went in and out of the palace to visit Zhen Huan, and often held Shenmeizhuang's child and refused to let go.

An Lingrong felt strange, but didn't ask too much.

Zhen Huan's sixth elder brother is getting bigger and bigger, and An Lingrong is a little suspicious every time she looks at it.

The current emperor is not Zhen Huan's son, and I don't know if Zhen Huan will design her son to be the emperor.

Of course, An Lingrong thought this way because he had a son.Once you have a son, you will naturally have more thoughts.

However, all An Lingrong's thoughts came to an abrupt end when Zhen Huan adopted her son to King Guojun.

Even her own son has been adopted by others, how could Zhen Huan allow her son to be a moth in the future and shake the throne!

An Lingrong lost his mind, and only focused on teaching his son to be an idle prince, so that he could live a safe and happy life.

Fifteen years later, on Zhen Huan's birthday, the emperor pardoned the world.

Zhen Huan was happy, and let many concubines of the late emperor out of the palace, and An Lingrong was also favored, and her son took her to the palace to support her.

An Lingrong didn't expect that he would have a day out of the palace, thanked Zhen Huan, and lived in the palace, teaching his daughter-in-law and teasing his grandchildren.Although the trivial matters were messy, she was happy and happy. She lived to her eightieth birthday, and then died with a smile surrounded by her family.
