The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"It's been more than a month since I entered the palace and I haven't come to visit my sister. It's really my sister's fault. My sister specially chose two gifts to bring today, one for my sister and one for the princess. I hope my sister won't dislike you." Qi Guiren shouted affectionately one by one, and the smile on his face was too eager.

An Lingrong looked at her performance like a show, and covered her lips with a chuckle: "Thank you for remembering, I have heard of my sister's name a long time ago, but it's a pity that the empress has avoided the greetings for a while, and has been unable to see my sister for a long time. I thought I would have to wait until the New Year's Eve banquet to see my sister Tianyan."

Qigui's smile froze for a moment, and it was not difficult to hear the sarcasm in An Lingrong's words, but she still managed to show a smile: "Sister joked."

An Lingrong casually stroked his temple hair, raised his hands to reveal some obvious red marks on his wrists, and smiled softly: "The emperor has been here in this palace for the past few days, and he often talks about my sister. She is a fairy-like figure, but I don't know where I learned the skill. I knew how to sneak into the emperor's bed for the first time. It's really... a good way." The last three words, An Lingrong bit the last three words lightly and charmingly, and the lingering sound was lingering.

Qigui blushed instantly, stood up abruptly, stared at An Lingrong for a long time without saying a word, her eyes were fixed on the red mark on her wrist, and she, who was already a human, naturally knew what it meant, and looked at the smile on An Lingrong's mouth, suddenly angry and ashamed.

After pausing for a long while, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Since Concubine Rong doesn't like concubines coming, then concubines should just leave, it's not worth humiliating concubines like this."

Mr. Qi stomped his feet, turned around and left angrily.

Zhen Huan refrained from interjecting, and waited until she was far away before opening her mouth to say: "Rong'er, what's wrong with you? Well, what do you have to do with her? She is now favored by the emperor. If you make a fuss, she will sue the emperor in the future, and it will be another lawsuit."

"You can tell from her face that I can't get along with her." An Lingrong said with a faint smile, "Since we can't get along, I don't bother to make an appearance with her, so I turned my face early and have less contact with her in the future. I am happy and relaxed. As for the emperor, if you want to blame it, you can blame it. Why bother to wrong yourself for him?"

Zhen Huan froze for a moment, raised her eyebrows and laughed: "I think, since you gave birth to your child, you have treated the emperor a lot more indifferently. I thought that you have been serving the emperor for a few days, and you are treating the emperor as before."

"I already have Ankang. If I am lucky enough to get another prince in the future, it would be the best. If not, I am already satisfied." An Lingrong smiled relievedly, "If the emperor is willing to come, I will serve him well. If he doesn't want to come, I can't afford to rush wherever he likes to go. In the days to come, I just want to be able to feel at ease."

Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong, and suddenly felt that she was very enviable. It turned out that a woman who is not trapped by love can be so free and easy, unlike her, who repeatedly warned herself not to fall in love with the emperor, but still couldn't restrain herself, and plunged into it.

"Mr. Qi's Amaguerjia Emin is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is currently in use. In terms of official title, he is the same as the fifth rank of Uncle An. However, he is in the capital, and he is full of military flags. He can speak more in the court. When you meet Mr. Qi in the future, you should be polite. Don't be like today, where you can't hold your face." Apart from the alien party and the relatives of the emperor who have colluded with him, among them, Prince Dun is the first to bear the brunt. The emperor found out that he had close correspondence with Nian Gengyao, and he has ulterior motives, and is preparing to get rid of him."

"The emperor tells my sister everything." An Lingrong smiled and worried, "But I told my sister in vain that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and my sister must always keep this in mind."

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "I will keep it firmly in my heart." Then she frowned again, "There is something that I have been worrying about for a long time, and I just wanted to ask your opinion today."

An Lingrong took a sip of tea, nodded and asked silently.

"Ms. Zhen has come to see me several times, and I have avoided seeing her. There are already gossips in the palace that when I fell out of favor, Mrs. Zhen took advantage of her position to deliberately save her face. Even the Queen Empress talked to me yesterday." Zhen Huan sighed, "I really don't want to see her, I always feel alienated."

"There is no conclusion, and it seems a bit unreasonable for my sister to confront her." An Lingrong also often asked Dou Kou to pay attention to Fang Chunyi these days.

"What's the problem with the silk fan? Did you find out? Don't wrong her." Zhen Huan's heart softened because it was the old friendship between Gu Nian and Fang Chunyi.

"I've seen it a few times before and after, and I really didn't see any problem, and I wondered if I was worrying too much." An Lingrong frowned, knowing that if this matter was not resolved, Zhen Huan would forgive Fang Chunyi in a short time. "If my sister doesn't mind, why don't you ask the imperial physician to come and have a look? Both Zhou imperial physician and Wen imperial physician are trustworthy people."

Zhen Huan pondered for a while, then nodded: "If it's true that we wronged her, it's better to say it clearly earlier."

An Lingrong nodded following Zhen Huan's words, and called Dill: "Go to the imperial hospital, and ask imperial physician Zhou and imperial physician Wen to come here together. Princess Ankang is ill, so let them act faster."

Dill left in a hurry, and not long after, Zhou Nan and Wen Shichu rushed over with the medicine box together.

Zhou Nan took a look and saw that there were only two masters sitting in the main hall, and the princess was not around, so she realized that there was something else going on today, but Wen Shichu looked strange and asked a few more questions.

"I brought you two here today to show you something." An Lingrong nodded to Cuiyin, and brought the brocade box containing three silk fans to Zhou Nan and Wen Shichu, "Look carefully, is there anything wrong with these three fans?"

When Zhen Huan was pregnant, Wen Shichu was always taking care of her. Naturally, she often used this fan. Now that she heard that there might be a problem with the fan, she immediately focused her attention and took a handful out of her hand to take a closer look.

Zhou Nan also picked up a handful and took a closer look, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, frowned slightly, then took out a silver needle from the medicine box, pierced it a few places on the silk fan, then pursed his lips and tasted it carefully, as if he noticed something was wrong but was not completely sure, he took Wen Shichu to retest.

Zhen Huan couldn't help holding An Lingrong's hand nervously, and what Zhou Nan was holding was the fan Fang Chunyi gave her.

"My lord, can this fan be destroyed once or twice? I need further verification." Zhou Nan asked, clasping his hands.

"Yes." An Lingrong shook Zhen Huan's hand and nodded to Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan asked Cuiyin for a pair of scissors, and carefully cut a small piece of the fan. On the other side, Wen Shichu had prepared a potion, and dipped a wooden stick on the cut fan.

In an instant, the fan surface turned red like blood, and Zhen Huan's face immediately lost its color.

The other two fans were also cut out a small section, and when the potion was handed over, it was only moist and smudged without any color.

The answer is already clear.

"What is it?" An Lingrong immediately asked, "But poison?"

"Ms. Hui, it's not poison." Wen Shichu bowed and replied, "This fan was soaked in the juice of purslane. Purslane is actually harmless in itself. It is also known as longevity vegetable. It can clear away heat and detoxify in summer, but it is extremely unfavorable to pregnant women."

Zhou Nan followed up and said: "Pursanula oleracea has the effect of slipping tires. Even short-term exposure can cause intrauterine uterine contractions, prone to belly tightness, short-term pain and other symptoms, leading to the weakening of the mother's body and ultimately the loss of the fetus."

Zhen Huan swayed, her face pale as paper.

Wen Shichu also had a guilty look on his face at the moment: "When I was taking the pulse of the empress, I felt that the young master had symptoms of early miscarriage. In order to protect the pregnancy, I used Eucommia, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cuscuta and other medicines, but the empress's body was still weakening uncontrollably. I thought..." Wen Shichu paused, glanced at An Lingrong, and stopped talking.

Zhen Huan didn't want to hide An Lingrong's secrets, and explained slowly: "When I first entered the palace, in order to avoid being favored, I asked Mrs. Wen to take medicine to make me sick for several months. After my miscarriage, I even blamed myself, whether it was because I took too much medicine at that time and made my body weak. Now, it seems that I was wrong." With tears in her eyes, she looked at the fan with hatred, "I treated her like my own sister in vain, and I didn't expect that she really hurt me!"

"Sister, now that you know who is going to harm you, you have to take precautions." An Lingrong raised his handkerchief to wipe away Zhen Huan's tears, and said cryptically, "Perhaps, we should all think about it, why did she suddenly betray us?"

Zhen Huan gritted her teeth, her eyes were full of desolation after the mountain fire: "Yeah, why..."

In Jingren Palace, the queen looked at Fang Chunyi coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Guan and Concubine Rong have discovered that the silk fan has been soaked in purslane juice, what are you going to do about it?"

Fang Chunyi's face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, save me!"

The queen sighed softly, looked down at her, and said sadly: "Mr. Qi is the daughter of a meritorious official. It is expected that she will be favored by the emperor as soon as she enters the palace, but what about you? What do you have?" She took a sip of tea slowly, "Think about it, Mr. Zhen, in this palace, only newcomers laugh and old people cry. If you can't save yourself, it will be useless for me to save you."

Fang Chunyi slumped on the ground in a daze.

"Oh, by the way, your brother made a typo in the school notes a few days ago, and was severely criticized by Xuezheng, and asked him to go home and reflect on himself for three days." The queen casually mentioned, "Oh, don't let it be the end, he didn't even have to be an eighth-rank official."

Fang Chunyi suddenly came back to her senses, knelt down and climbed to the side of the queen, raised her head and begged in a wailing voice: "The concubine is really stupid, please take pity on me, and teach me a little bit, the concubine will be smashed to pieces in order to repay the queen's kindness." After finishing speaking, she kowtowed heavily to the queen.

Falling out of favor during this period made her know what it feels like to fall from the clouds. If she has not been favored, she will not understand the feeling of such a gap. It is like being surrounded by stars like a moon in the middle one second, and being stepped on by everyone in the next second.It would be fine if it had been mediocre all the time, but she had tasted the feeling of being the only one favored, and knew how glorious it is to be praised by others, so the current predicament became so unacceptable.

What's more, all the young and old in her Fang family are in the hands of the queen, and she has no choice at all.

Fang Chunyi kowtowed to the ground, looking at the exquisite and luxurious embroidery on the queen's shoes, with strong hatred in his eyes.

Her whole life was ruined by the queen.

An Lingrong sent Zhen Huan away, heaved a long sigh, and asked Cuiyin to put the three silk fans into the storeroom: "Hide them well, maybe you will have a chance to use them later."

"Yes." Cuiyin replied.

Just as he was about to walk back, he suddenly heard a sharp scolding sound coming from the small kitchen, An Lingrong followed the sound and saw Qin'er with her hips on her hips, scolding a little palace maid fiercely.

"I don't know, it turns out that Qin'er is so talkative." An Lingrong said indifferently, "I heard from Aunt Fenruo that she was the one who noticed Mo'er's abnormal movements on the day I gave birth?"

"Yes, if Miss Qin'er hadn't been vigilant, I'm afraid the empress would have been killed at that time." Cuiyin thought of the danger that day, and she still feels afraid. Busy taking care of the princess, the servants can speak a few words, even if they don't have so much time, thanks to Qin'er's time with the empress for a long time, she has some face, so she can put on airs and suppress the disobedient group."

An Lingrong smiled when he heard the words: "So, Qin'er has helped you a lot."

Cuiyin followed her. Although she was doing the job of serving as a court lady, her name had never been rectified. The first thing An Lingrong did after she became a concubine was to mention her palace position, and by the way, Xiao Yinzi was appointed as the chief eunuch.Now that Cuiyin manages Weiyang Palace, it is true and busy.

"Go and talk to Qin'er. If you meet someone who is really disobedient, send them out. Don't swear all day long. If the emperor comes, it's not good to hear it." An Lingrong instructed.

Cuiyin complied naturally.

What An Lingrong didn't know was that it was precisely because of her sentence of delegating power that she planted a huge hidden danger for her future.

The efficacy of purslane is true. I would like to remind all babies that if you are pregnant, you must not eat it, and it is not allowed to apply it externally~
