The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

If she does not surrender and tells An Lingrong frankly about this matter, it is equivalent to exposing her greatest weakness to her. Even if she defeats the queen in the future, An Lingrong will eat her to death, but it is vague She tried to test An Lingrong with excuses, and with her intelligence, she must know that something was weird, and after checking it, she would only be more afraid of herself.

But Concubine Min was even more displeased with surrendering to the Empress. Looking at Concubine Qi, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Qi and Noble Jin, one would know how oppressive it must be under the Empress's hands.

Concubine Qi was the old man who had been with the queen for the longest time, but in the end she couldn't even keep her own children.Although the concubine was said to be favored, she would be forced to drink Bizi soup every time after going to bed. She had no choice but to obey orders.Ever since Qi Bin hurt her face, the queen didn't even look at her. She didn't give her another hand until her injury was almost healed.Jingui's situation was even worse. After the Tong family lost power, she became completely invisible, and her life in Yonghe Palace was worse than that of a dog.

This round, no matter what, is a dead end.

The empress is not interested in the war between heaven and man in Concubine Min's mind, she never cares what methods her subordinates use to gain favor, as long as it is useful, she can use them handily only by grasping their weaknesses.

The queen turned her eyes and looked at Yu Guiren again, smiling gently and amiably: "Yu Guiren, you and your sister don't look very much alike, only the charm between the eyebrows and eyes is slightly similar. The demeanor of the noble concubine Dunsu is really No one can match it, even her own sister can hardly surpass it."

Yugui was much calmer than the queen had imagined. She looked at the queen coldly, sneered, and was about to speak, but the queen spoke again.

"Don't you think about your good sister?" There was a smile on the corner of the Queen's mouth, "You are lying, covering up the fact that you were once a family member of the Nian, and deliberately getting close to the emperor. Do you think that this palace really doesn't know what you are thinking? What is it?"

The Empress looked at the dispirited face of Yu Guiren with satisfaction, and got up unhurriedly: "Okay, let's go back, I will give you half a month, if there is no news after half a month, I will let you go." I won't wait for you."

Concubine Min's feet were weak, and she was almost half-carried and half-dragged away from Jingren Palace by the nobleman. As soon as they left, the queen's face darkened, and she ordered Jianqiu to say: "Take a close look at Jingren Palace these few days. Find out who is passing the news to Weiyang Palace."

"Yes." Jian Qiu knew that the queen was trying to lure the snake out of its hole, so she didn't dare to slack off and replied with a solemn face.

Only then did the empress relax, and was about to change clothes and go to bed, when she saw Jiang Fuhai walking in with a panicked expression: "Your majesty, the emperor suddenly had a high fever in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, and now he is unconscious."

"what?!"

The emperor suddenly fell ill in Yanxi Palace, and Fang Chunyi could not blame him, so he was immediately placed under detention.

"Has the emperor moved to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" The Empress Dowager summoned Su Peisheng to question, unable to hide her anxiety and worry, "Who is serving now?"

"The concubines and the princes have been arranged to take turns serving the sick." Su Peisheng replied.

The queen mother thought for a while, and said: "There is no need to have too many concubines who are sick, especially not seductive ones." She specially selected the noble concubines, Qi concubine, Min concubine, and nobles, and then said, "Only the queen, the noble concubine, and the concubine Qi respect you." Concubine, and Concubine Hui, that's fine."

Su Peisheng hurriedly responded.

After arranging for the ill person, the Queen Mother asked about the emperor's illness: "The imperial doctor saw the emperor's illness, what did you say?"

"The imperial doctor said that the emperor's pulse condition is weak and he is overworked." Su Peisheng replied with his hands down, "Prince Yi passed away suddenly, and the emperor was in great pain. He spent days and nights dealing with government affairs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and sometimes he couldn't even eat a bite. Minister, it’s just a commentary. But for some reason, the emperor has always been bored these two days. He was fine when he went to Weiyang Palace yesterday, but he was unhappy when he came out.”

The queen mother also felt a little strange, frowned slightly, and asked who had been attending the bed these days.

"Mostly it's Concubine Min and Concubine Zhen, or Concubine Qi and Lady Yugui." Su Peisheng replied honestly, "However, there are not many days to serve the bed. If you don't believe it, Queen Mother, you can go and find out about it." Office records."

"What happened in the Palace of Yanxi Palace has nothing to do with the concubine." The queen mother waved her hand and sighed softly, "But what's the matter with the emperor being so bored these two days? Especially after going to the concubine's place , still not happy." She muttered to herself, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "What day was yesterday?"

Su Peisheng thought for a while: "Back to the Queen Mother, yesterday was April [-]th."

The queen mother couldn't figure it out even more, she frowned and whispered: "What's wrong?"

Fang Ruo's eyebrows jumped, and she bowed and replied: "Yesterday was the birthday of the abandoned concubine Guan."

As if pushing away the cloud and mist in front of her eyes with her hands, the queen mother suddenly understood: "No wonder, I'm afraid that the imperial concubine talked to the emperor yesterday and brought up this matter." She pursed her lips and frowned even tighter, "So Say, don’t do the concubine’s affairs.” Fu sighed again, “The Ai family thought he had let go, so that’s how it is.”

The air in the hall was silent for a moment, the Empress Dowager raised her head and said to Su Peisheng: "Go and tell the concubine Zhen to be at ease." She was about to get up, but Zhu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Accompany Ai's family to see the emperor."

After all, it is mother and child.

The emperor was ill, and the queen mother put aside all the previous things, regardless of her body not recovering, she forced herself to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.As soon as they entered the hall, everyone was there, Prince Heng, King Guo, and Shen Beile waited in the side hall, Empress Qi Concubine Jingfei, An Lingrong, and Shen Meizhuang stood in front of the bed and waited on them.

The Queen Mother stood up and walked slowly to the bed: "Is there any sign that the Emperor is awake?"

"Not yet." Shen Meizhuang supported the queen mother to sit down by the bed, and said in a low voice, "The imperial doctor said that the emperor has a high fever and is weak, and it will take some time to wake up."

I saw that the flush on the emperor's face had not faded, lying on the bed, the empress dowager had never seen such weakness.She couldn't help feeling distressed, and took the medicine in Shen Meizhuang's hand and fed it to him personally: "These days, the emperor, he is so willful." Tears welled up in her eyes. The one who cares about him is himself, "The Ai family knows that he is suffering in his heart, and he also knows that he is not a person who loses his temper easily, but the emperor doesn't cherish himself too much." I'm overworked." The queen said from the side, looking at the emperor with worried eyes.

"The queen mother must take care of herself, and don't hurt her body again." Guo Junwang also advised.

The Empress Dowager sat for a while, seeing that although the emperor's illness was fierce but not dangerous, she felt relieved: "You should take good care of it here, and every two hours, let people return the condolences. Let the emperor calm down. Lie down and don't be disturbed."

Everyone agreed. Prince Guo said one more thing: "Someone will take care of the affairs of the government. Queen Mother, rest assured."

The queen mother nodded, and looked at An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang: "Then Ai's family will go back first, you two spend more time with the emperor."

"Yes." An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang said in unison, and joined everyone in sending the Queen Mother off.

"Huanhuan..."

On the bed, there was a muffled murmur suddenly, and everyone paused. An Lingrong, Shenmeizhuang, and King Guojun who were closer could hear it clearly, and there were some strange expressions on their faces. expression, but they all concealed the past.

The three of them involuntarily glanced at each other quickly, and when the Queen Mother turned around to ask the question, King Guo stood up and replied, "Brother Huang misses Sister-in-law Huang, so I called her name just now."

The queen mother lowered her eyes and sighed heavily: "In these years, is your wife the only one that the emperor can't let go of?" She thought that Zhen Huan's position in the emperor's heart had far surpassed that of Chun Yuan, but she didn't expect that in his When she was most vulnerable and helpless, what she was thinking about was Chunyuan. If so, she would rather be Zhen Huan, at least it could prove that the emperor is not a long-term lover. , the emperor is no match for you."

The curve of Prince Guo's mouth paused slightly, and when he met the Queen Mother's meaningful smile, he lowered his eyes hastily and smiled unnaturally. It was this smile that made An Lingrong notice something strange.

An Lingrong narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully sizing up King Guo.

In his smile, there was concealed pride and pride, as well as a little sweetness and imperceptible joy, but when he turned his head to look at the emperor, there was a bit of vigilance and fear in his eyes. He was happy, but scared at the same time. It seems that he broke through the shackles and got what he wanted, but he was uneasy because of the shackles of the world, for fear that the dream would be nothing in the end.

It was like having a long, long dream. When he woke up, the emperor felt extremely tired.

It was quiet in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, An Lingrong was sitting on the head of the bed, dressed very simply, shrouded in the flickering light of the candle, her face was soft and loving, the fine fluff on her face danced delicately in the light and shadow, Her drooping pupils were covered by a tuft of eyelashes, she sat there peacefully sleeping, but she hit the emperor's heart with one blow.

He stared at An Lingrong in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

The chaotic scene in the dream suddenly dissipated, and this scene broke his last defense. The emperor couldn't help remembering the little things with An Lingrong, as if the few warm moments in his life were always related to her.The night when soft words sing a cappella, the afternoon when the small fan is swaying, the quiet smile when happy, the finger rubbing when sad, washing his hands and making soup for him countless times, and resolving his knots again and again...

Rong'er, the world is vast, but my peace of mind is only with you.

An Lingrong nodded and woke up suddenly.

She raised her head and looked around, then looked down at the emperor who had not even the slightest sign of waking up. She sighed softly, rubbed her face to wake herself up a bit, then reached out to touch the emperor's forehead, still feeling Feeling a little warm, he turned around and twisted the handkerchief to cover his forehead, then walked out with the basin in hand.

Her footsteps were very light, like a cat. The emperor closed his eyes and heard her order Su Peisheng to change a basin of water, and then walked back lightly.

The tip of the nose smelled a very faint fragrance, I don't know what kind of fragrance it is, but it smells very comfortable.The emperor's thoughts drifted away a little bit, and he fell asleep again.

An Lingrong stretched out her hand to twist the corner of the quilt for the emperor, turned her body slightly, and took out the note that Dill had cut off outside Ninghui Hall and sent it to her. With just one glance, she recognized that it was Zhen Huan's handwriting , which reads: "Five pieces of machine, weaving Shen Lang's poems in horizontal patterns, no one will understand the middle line, no words of sorrow, no words of haggard, just send lovesickness."

This is the fifth song in the nine songs. It talks about the separation of two places between lovers, so as to send lovesickness far away.

An Lingrong said inwardly that sure enough, her eyes were deep, she folded the note back intact, looked at the candle for a long time, and then she sighed inaudibly: "If you live well, I will also feel at ease." gone."

The candlelight flickered for a while, and then returned to calm in an instant.

The emperor's illness lasted for half a month, and the empress became more and more anxious. From the tenth day onwards, she sent An Lingrong and others away, and took care of the emperor herself. open one's eyes.

"Your majesty, you're awake." The queen almost cried with joy, holding the hand of the emperor, she ordered Jian Qiu repeatedly, "Hurry up and bring a glass of water to the emperor."

The emperor looked at the circle of bruises under the empress's eyes, his heart was touched, and he nodded to her: "It's been a while, empress."

With tears in her eyes, the empress shook her head and said, "The emperor's body is in good health, no matter how hard your ministers and concubines work, it will be worth it."

Tell me why September is so busy...
