In the pitch-black dream, the footsteps being drawn, An Lingrong walked alone in the darkness, and involuntarily walked towards the light-colored gray place in front of him. He didn't know how long he walked before he came into the light.

Seeing the shallow river under his feet, An Lingrong hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his foot to step into it.

"Come back soon..."

"You can't go there..."

"If you go, you can't come back..."

There seemed to be countless hands holding her, and the jade bracelet on her wrist shone with dazzling white light, pulling her back from the gate of hell, falling asleep again into endless darkness.

Under the dim candlelight of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Mrs. Meng Guogong took out the sharp arrow from An Lingrong's heart. The moment she pulled it out, the jade bracelet in An Lingrong's hand broke with a sound and broke into several pieces.

"This object is very spiritual. I don't know where I found it." Mrs. Meng Guogong threw the arrowhead on the tray aside, murmured in a low voice, and quickly applied the medicine to An Lingrong.

The night fell again.

When the first ray of light fell in the early morning, An Lingrong woke up from a long dream. The noisy voice in the dream seemed to be still in her ears, making her temples ache intermittently, followed by severe body pain. Sweeping, An Lingrong couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

"you're awake."

A pair of plain white hands pressed An Lingrong's shoulders, and then, a jade-like face appeared in front of her eyes.

Mrs. Meng Guogong tried An Lingrong's forehead and neck with her hands, and after confirming that she had no fever symptoms, she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has passed the dangerous period safely, and it will be fine if you take care of her for a while."

Cuiyin and Dill's voices sounded at the same time: "That's great."

"Your Majesty, you've woken up. You've been in a coma for half a month, and your servants are worried." Cuiyin knelt on the bedside with tears in her eyes and said, seeing An Lingrong look up at Mrs. Meng Guogong, she quickly introduced , "This is Mrs. Meng Guogong, she drew the arrow for the empress, and guarded the empress for half a month."

"Thank you, Mrs. Guogong, for helping me out." An Lingrong thanked weakly.

"No need, the emperor has already thanked the majesty." Mrs. Meng Guogong is a cold beauty. She is dressed in plain clothes and she doesn't even smile when she speaks. A generous reward, I dare not do my best to treat her."

An Lingrong nodded, without further words, turned to look at Cuiyin: "Is everything all right, Your Majesty?"

Cuiyin was so worried that her eyebrows almost dropped: "Because the empress has been in a coma, the emperor, regardless of the objections of the officials, gave Prince Dun to death. If the empress Guan did not stop her, Princess Gongding and Beizi Hongxuan would not be spared. .”

"Then you, hurry up and tell the emperor that I am awake." An Lingrong said intermittently.

"Dill has gone." Cuiyin nodded.

Mrs. Meng Guogong saw that An Lingrong was in good spirits, so she only left Cuiyin to take care of her, while she went out to make medicine, so that the master and servant could talk alone.

An Lingrong didn't have much strength, so she asked Cuiyin to explain everything that happened during her coma.

"The empress has been living in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for the past half month." Cuiyin did not dare to miss a single thing, and told An Lingrong one by one in detail, "After the empress was shot by an arrow, the Imperial Forest Army chased most of the palace. Let the assassin run away, the emperor was furious, and sent out all the guards who were standing guard at Qianqing Gate that night. The next day, the emperor would issue an order to divide Prince Dun into five horses. At that time, the empress's life was dying again, and the imperial physicians Zhou and Wen were helpless to deal with the injury of the empress, and because they were men, they only cut off the tail of the arrow, but they couldn't find a way to pull it out. Niangniang boiled for three days until her eyes were red."

An Lingrong was sick and weak, upon hearing this, her eyes could not help turning slightly red.

"It was the Empress who remembered that Concubine Guan was still thinking about it in Penglai Island, and asked for an order to take her back to the palace. The emperor kept it in mind, so he also agreed, and sent Eunuch Xia to fetch Concubine Guan back to the palace." Cuiyin continued. Said, "With the concubine Guan's persuasion, the emperor calmed down a bit, and only ordered Prince Dun to commit suicide, and made Hongxuan Beizi a vassal, and the Queen Mother promised Prince Dun and Hongxuan Beizi to continue to live in Prince Dun's old residence. Princess Gongding is still being educated in the palace, at least she has silenced the public and preserved the emperor's reputation for thousands of years. The slaves don't know much about the rest of the affairs of taking care of the remnants of the clique."

An Lingrong nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.She saved the emperor entirely out of instinct, if the emperor left a stain on history because of this, wouldn't it be her fault.

After a while, An Lingrong asked again: "Have you done everything you were asked to do?"

"Slaves dare not forget." Cuiyin lowered her voice, "Your Majesty told me earlier that the Seventh Department, the Third Court, and the North Fifth Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have selected a few capable and clever servants, and they have already figured out their family backgrounds. Wait until the empress palms the eyes before training."

This was when Shenmeizhuang started to investigate the palace people, An Lingrong told Cuiyin that she always knew that the biggest enemy in the palace was the queen, if she wanted to fight her, she had to take root firmly to grow into a towering tree, Before the queen noticed her, she had to cultivate her power quickly.

"I'll make arrangements after a while." An Lingrong nodded and said, "This matter is important, so don't tell anyone. When the time is right, you can tell Dill and Cardamom."

"Yes, I understand." Cuiyin nodded, and then said, "Also, Mr. An is going to Beijing."

"What is it for?" An Lingrong asked.

"Master An has contributed a lot to the encirclement and suppression of Prince Dun's forces this time, and together with the contribution of Shanghai Yun in arresting the smuggled salt, it is enough to be rewarded." Cuiyin's face was three points happy, "Although he is only a second-class baron, he is still serious. The status of the second-rank noble is extraordinary. Mr. An came to Beijing this time to report on his duties. The emperor personally gave him a mansion. The empress will also have her own family in Beijing. Mrs. Zhao first went to Beijing to take care of her. She just entered the palace the day before yesterday and took care of the empress for two nights. Resting in the cubicle right now."

"It's really dangerous this time, and my father can be regarded as a fortune." An Lingrong also showed a little smile, but there was also a little worry in his heart.Since the emperor ascended the throne, not many meritorious officials with different surnames have been conferred titles. The former Nian Gengyao was at the pinnacle, so my father must not follow in his footsteps.

It was almost finished, Cuiyin thought about it again, and suddenly said: "There is one more thing. After Prince Dun subdued the law, Miao promised to hang himself in the Xiuchun Pavilion. The slaves felt that it was unlucky, so they made the decision first. The Xiuchun Pavilion has been sealed, do you want to do a religious ceremony?"

"Miao promised to die?" An Lingrong was a little surprised, and wanted to make good use of Miao Kexin's chess piece, but she didn't expect that she would kill herself so impatiently, and it was confirmed that Prince Dun was accused of spying on the holy will .

But after thinking about it, she didn't feel surprised anymore. Prince Dun was dead. Whether Miao Kexin had a guilty conscience or the emperor deliberately couldn't tolerate her, she could not escape death. After all, what Miao Kexin did before Those things were just because she thought she had concealed them very well. Just one message to leave the palace was enough to kill her thousands of times.

Perhaps the emperor secretly arranged for someone to kill her.

An Lingrong closed her eyes, feeling a little short of energy, Mrs. Meng Guogong brought in the medicine, and after drinking it, she couldn't help feeling drowsy again.

In the dim sleepiness, it seemed that someone was talking.

"Is she better?"

"Yes, the empress woke up for a long time, drank the medicine, and just fell asleep."

"Then let her sleep well."

It was a heavy dream again.

After a good night's sleep, when An Lingrong woke up again, he saw Zhao Xuan sitting at the end of the bed.

"Mrs. Zhao, long time no see." An Lingrong supported Cuiyin's hand and slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, smiled weakly, and waved Cuiyin to step down, obviously he had something to say to Zhao Xuan alone, "Go up Before we parted last time, Madam once said that when the time comes, I will tell you your true identity, but now, is it the 'time' that Madam said?" She lowered her eyes to look at her empty left hand, "When you are dying, it seems Many people stretched out their hands and pulled me back, the jade bracelet you gave me connected them to me, and then it shattered, at that moment, I felt as if I had cut off a lot of things."

Zhao Xuan sat silently, staring at An Lingrong for a long time before slowly speaking: "I am not Zhao Xuan, nor am I from this world, or in other words, I am not human at all." She raised her eyebrows slightly Laughing, "After your mother Lin Yun's soul flew away, her obsession with you lingered for a long time, floating in the void world, after several twists and turns, she condensed into a new soul body, got another chance, and felt a powerful idea from another world. Like your mother, I hope you will be safe and happy, and you will become me when your soul, body and mind are united."

After a pause, she said again: "An Lingrong, I was born for you, so I will never harm you. After you died in the previous life, besides your mother, there were many people who hoped that you could live another life. They said, the world The laws of life cannot be reversed, but you can use the loopholes in time and space to give you a lifetime of rebirth, but it requires a price, and this price has already been paid by your mother. As for your father, he was chosen by them after thousands of choices. To pave the way for you to move forward, you must have a strong family background."

"Who are they?" An Lingrong stared blankly at Zhao Xuan.

"I don't know either." Zhao Xuan shook her head. "In the beginning, they kept in touch with me very frequently, but gradually, it became less and less. At the beginning of the year, they sent that jade bracelet, Tell me that I must send it to you, and there has been no news since then. The last time I heard them talking was after the empress had an accident, and they said, "She looked at An Lingrong, her voice seemed to overlap with thousands of voices, "Your destiny has been completely divorced from your previous life. Go forward boldly, An Lingrong. The past can no longer hold you back."

There seemed to be a ray of light shining in front of his eyes, making An Lingrong's eye circles sore.

"Your Majesty, you haven't remembered things from your previous life for a long time, right?" Zhao Xuan stepped forward, wiping away An Lingrong's tears with a handkerchief, "From now on, every day will be a brand new day, Your Majesty is overjoyed."

With tears in his eyes, An Lingrong nodded vigorously.

After nightfall in Yanxi Palace, Fang Chunyi woke up again from the nightmare, sitting on the head of the bed covered in cold sweat, panting heavily.

"My lord, you're having a nightmare again." Suyun, who was on guard at night, also woke up, lifted the curtain and looked at Fang Chunyi, with worried eyes, "Maidservant, let's make another bowl of calming soup."

Fang Chunyi's face was pale, and she was a little out of shape. Her lips trembled and she asked Suyun: "Have you dealt with everything that Miao promised?"

Suyun's face also turned pale, but he still nodded calmly and said: "According to what the mage said, the servant took a whole set of close-fitting clothes and jewelry from Miaoying, put them in an iron box, sealed them with four long nails, and found them. A dry well was thrown into it, and a stone was placed on top of it, so nothing would go wrong." She swallowed, and comforted Fang Chunyi, "Don't worry, my lord, she will never come to my lord again."

Fang Chunyi shook violently, folded her arms, and buried her head between her knees, thinking of the lightning and thunder that night, it was like a nightmare that she couldn't escape no matter what.

Miao Kexin's terrified expression, pinching her nails fiercely when she was dying, and her eyes turning white and purple face after she slowly lost her breath, scene by scene, frame by frame, haunting her every night. she.

"She asked for it." Fang Chunyi gritted her teeth tremblingly, and excused herself, "If she hadn't made fun of me by comparing me to a maiko, and ridiculed that I didn't even want face in order to woo a concubine, how could I strangle her to death by accident? Anyway, anyway, she won't live long, the emperor planned to let Eunuch Su pass the decree to order her to die, I just...just relieve the emperor's worries." She was sweating coldly, "It's useless even if she comes back to find me ,me……"

"My lord!" Suyun quickly reached out to cover Fang Chunyi's mouth, met her terrified eyes, forced herself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, you just bumped into Miao on the way to Xiuchun Pavilion and committed suicide. , I’m just scared, her death has nothing to do with you, but you must remember it!” She helped Fang Chunyi, disguised Miao Xu as if she had hanged herself, if Fang Chunyi slipped up and said the matter If she goes out, she will suffer as well.

Fang Chunyi calmed down slowly, and nodded slowly and desperately.

Since then, every night has been her nightmare, she has stepped into the abyss step by step, and there is no way back.

Who are they?

It is the thousands of you who hope that An Lingrong will come back to life again.
