The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 164.Bad news

Suddenly hearing the bad news, Zhen Huan was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. Tears fell down her face: "How could it be...how could it be Ankang?" She thought of An Lingrong's hardship on the day she gave birth, and clutched her chest with heartache. Extremely, "What's wrong with Rong'er?"

"Rong'er stayed in Ankang for seven days without eating or drinking. On the day the coffin was sealed, she sat in Jing'an Manor and refused to be persuaded to leave. It wasn't until she fainted from exhaustion that the emperor carried her back to Weiyang Palace." Shen Meizhuang wiped her tears and talked about what happened during this period, "Later, she stopped going to Jing'an Village. She would eat when Dill fed her, and sleep when she was covered with a quilt. But when she woke up, she would go to Xiuchun. He sat in the pavilion for a whole day. The emperor visited her every day. He was afraid that she would follow Ankang, so he personally hugged Honghao and went to guard her. Yesterday, for some reason, Rong'er burst into tears in Xiuchun Pavilion. I fell ill and fell unconscious that night. When I left the palace, Caiyue said that everyone was a little confused from the fever..."

Zhen Huan was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She beat her chest hard and finally regained her breath. She held back her tears and said word by word: "She must be the queen!"

"Yes, Concubine Jing Duan and I have found out that it was Concubine Min who opened the cardamom that day and took Ankang to the Chongyang Tower alone. After Ankang fell from the building, she hurried back to Yikun Palace until she took the cardamom. When Chuipeng went back to look for someone, he discovered that Ankang had fallen downstairs." Shen Meizhuang was filled with hatred, "Min Bin had always been on good terms with Rong'er before, and Rong'er also praised her, but she didn't expect that she was raising a tiger to cause trouble."

"Who is Min Bin?" Zhen Huan asked in a deep voice.

"She was the newly elected beautiful lady who entered the palace the year you left. Her temperament is very similar to that of Chun'er before." Shen Meizhuang paused and said, "Concubine Zhen has become closer and closer to the queen in the past few years, almost to the point where the queen found out She was in a hurry to do things before the order was given. The other one was Qi Bin, but Qi Bin hurt her face. After all, her favor was not as good as that of Zhen Bin, so the queen also valued Zhen Bin more. Min Bin's love and She is equally matched, so Rong'er has been supporting her to contain the queen for more than two years. But recently, Ye agreed to enter the palace, and the emperor is the only one who favors her. "

Zhen Huan didn't feel anything about this. She just nodded lightly and sighed: "Rong'er treats Min concubine well. She probably misses the days when she and Chun'er were on good terms."

Shen Meizhuang felt a little touched in his heart. Thinking of the scene when he first entered the palace, he felt as if he was in another world: "I sometimes think about how great it would be if I could stay at that time. The life in this palace is difficult, Huan'er, I hear As you said, Rong'er has gradually lost her edge over the years. She doesn't ask the Queen and the others to pay attention. She just serves the Queen Mother and takes good care of Long Yue. Therefore, many times Rong'er can only fight alone. Fortunately, the Emperor has always treated her well. She Feng'er After marrying the imperial concubine, the queen was always afraid to take action."

Shen Meizhuang paused and sighed deeply: "Long Keduo and Prince Yi went one after the other. The emperor didn't have many useful people in his hands for a while. He even fell ill once in April this year. , and then he promoted Uncle An and raised the flag for the An family. He thought that the queen felt that she was threatened, so she took action. I investigated carefully and found that Min Bin had already been hooked up with the queen. Relationship, she ambushed Rong'er, just to give her a heavy blow one day."

"She is so cruel. She caused me to have a miscarriage back then, and now she has caused Ankang." Zhen Huan's tears that had just come down came up again.

"Children in the palace have always had a difficult life. Rong'er has always protected the two children very well. If he hadn't neglected Min Bin because of his trust, it wouldn't have been like this." Shen Meizhuang gritted his teeth bitterly, "Min Bin Knowing that she was doomed, she knelt in front of the emperor to plead guilty, but did not mention the fact that she had framed Ankang. She only said that Ankang accidentally fell from the building. She couldn't hold him back, and then she was frightened, so she ran away and refused to see anyone. The emperor wanted to punish her. , but the imperial doctor diagnosed that she was one month pregnant, and the queen protected her, so things turned out like this, which is really heartbreaking."

Zhen Huan's heart trembled: "Queen, queen, she has been suppressed by Rong'er for so long, and she finally fought a beautiful turnaround. I'm afraid she will rule the harem alone." She held Shen Meizhuang's hand tightly. , said sadly, "Sister Mei, what should you and Rong'er do?"

Shen Meizhuang pursed his lips and tried to smile, soothing her and saying: "Back when I was co-managing the Sixth Palace, Rong'er reminded me to cultivate confidants. Now that several people in the palace who are in charge of important errands are taking orders from me, I can continue to hide from the world. It's just that Rong'er has worked hard. For a pair of children and for the emperor's favor, she has had to compete with the queen in the past two years. I'm afraid that she will go crazy next..." She hesitated for a moment, "I'm so cold with her, if When it comes to critical moments, I will definitely help her too."

Taking a deep breath, Shen Meizhuang continued: "Over the years, Rong'er and I have always been thinking about you, thinking that one day we could help you clear your name, but we could never find any useful clues. The emperor was ill. After one scene, Rong'er didn't know why, but suddenly stopped asking anyone to investigate..."

When Zhen Huan heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and her memory quickly turned to that page. She remembered that Yunli was also serving in the palace at that time, and she couldn't help but make a bold guess in her heart.

However, Shen Meizhuang's next words made her worry about nothing else.

"Today, I have gone through all the trouble to come to you because I have something important to tell you. Rong'er has fallen. I don't know who to discuss this matter with." Shen Meizhuang's eyes suddenly darkened. Like a deep ancient well, he turned to look anxious and worried, "Your father, he suddenly became seriously ill in Shu, and now he is seriously ill and dying."

Zhen Huan was stunned and almost couldn't believe it. She took a breath and asked tremblingly: "My father is fine, how can he be seriously ill and dying?"

Shen Meizhuang hurriedly held her down: "Yes, although Uncle Zhen was exiled, his health has always been good. I hesitated for many days whether to tell you, and I was afraid that you would only be sad if you knew it, but, After thinking about it, I was worried about Uncle Zhen's safety, so I couldn't help but want to tell you."

"Father is in good health, what is going on?" Zhen Huan was at a loss for words, but she quickly calmed down, "Father has always been taken care of in Shu, and there has never been any accident in these years. Now, Rong Er They were just suppressed, and they were followed closely by me... They came prepared and just wanted to take the opportunity to kill Rong'er and me!"

Shen Meizhuang nodded with deep eyes, pondered for a moment and said: "This is what I am worried about. Now that you have been kicked out of the palace and Rong'er has lost her health and is heartbroken, they will take the opportunity to take action against Uncle Zhen. The next one is probably Uncle An. It’s either the Queen’s side or someone from the Guarjia family outside, but I didn’t expect that she would be so cruel and not willing to leave even half a leeway to us.”

"Why are they working so hard and refusing to let go!" Zhen Huan was extremely angry, with a bit of sharpness in her voice.

"Huan'er, now is not the time to be angry and sad." Shen Meizhuang persuaded Zhen Huan to calm down and said, "Uncle Zhen Huan has been plotted against. The most important thing now is to find a way to bring him back from Shu for treatment. Maybe he can be treated carefully. But I'm also worried about Uncle An's safety. He will return to Beijing in a few days. I'm just afraid that he will encounter some danger on the way." Zhen Huan tried her best to calm down and clutched the corners of her clothes: " I will try my best to find a way to treat my father. As for Uncle An and Sister Mei, I am beyond my reach. You still need to pay more attention to this matter." She originally planned to wait for Yunli to come back, then take the fake death medicine and leave Ling Yunfeng, Leaving the capital, hiding his name from now on, and living freely with Yunli, now it seems that it is no longer possible. He just asks Yunli to come back soon so that he can find a way to find someone to treat his father.

Shen Meizhuang nodded with tears in his eyes, but Cai Xing came in from outside, leaned down and saluted, and said: "Empress Qi, the time has come. We have to go back to the palace before dark. It's time to set off."

"Okay, I understand, let the sedan chair wait first." Shen Meizhuang gave a faint order, then turned to Zhen Huan and said, "Huan'er, I'm leaving. Just remember my words and take good care of yourself. It’s the most important thing.”

Zhen Huan also had tears in her eyes: "The palace is dangerous, you and Rong'er should be careful. Let's meet again..." She murmured, "I don't know when it is."

Shen Meizhuang was urged to get on the warm sedan and meander away. Zhen Huan stopped in front of the door of the Zen room and looked into the distance. The mountains were faintly green and covered with heavy snow. Just like that day when she was driven out of Ganlu Temple and fell ill like a bereaved dog. The scene halfway to Lingyun Peak was chilling to the core.

Zhen Huan closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair.

Now, she only hopes that Yunli can come back as soon as possible.

However, the days are like years, and the twelfth lunar month is approaching, and King Guo has not returned yet, and there is not even a little news.Zhen Huan felt anxious and uneasy, but she had no choice but to do anything. King Guo was like a kite with its string cut off, completely losing news.

He set off on the last day of September, promising to return in forty days, but now it's already fifty days.

Zhen Huan touched her flat belly, and the suffocating nausea in her chest and abdomen hit her again. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and vomit.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Liu Zhu was mending clothes at the side. Upon seeing this, he immediately came over to cheer Zhen Huan up, "I've been nauseous and retching these past few days. Did you eat something bad? Wait until Dr. Wen comes. Now, we have to let him take a good look at it.”

Cui Jinxi walked in with a bowl of hot water and said with a smile: "Silly girl, my wife is pregnant." She handed the hot water to Zhen Huan and said warmly, "When the prince comes back, he will be very happy to know the news."

But Zhen Huan couldn't laugh: "But there has been no news from him for a long time."

Just as he was talking, Wen Shichu walked in carrying the medicine box, looking a little hesitant.

"You're here." Zhen Huan reluctantly raised her lips, "How are you doing in the palace recently? How is Rong'er?"

"Concubine Rong has been in better spirits these days and can already get out of bed and take two steps." Wen Shichu stepped forward and took Zhen Huan's pulse as usual. Suddenly he paused with his finger and looked up at her, with a little disbelief in his eyes, "Huan'er, you……"

"It's been more than a month." Zhen Huan nodded calmly and said, "Please look after me. I will thank you very much when Yunli comes back."

Wen Shichu stared at him, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say. His face kept turning gray, and he took two steps back dejectedly. He seemed unwilling to give in, but also seemed to be compromising. He closed his eyes hard and said forcefully: "You Are you still waiting for Prince Guo? It’s a pity that he can’t come back.”

Zhen Huan was stunned for a moment and frowned tightly: "What did you say?"

"Prince Guojun is dead, and he will never come back." Wen Shichu gritted his teeth and finished speaking in one breath, "Prince Guojun has not returned from his trip to Dian and Tibet, and there is no news from the palace. The emperor sent people out of the palace. Looking for it, I got the news that the boat on which Prince Guo was traveling capsized in the Yellow River, and no body was found."
