It was a very cold day. Shun Guiren was standing on the corridor holding a hand stove. She was dressed in plain white, which made her even colder. She looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace. She looked at the Chengxi Palace from a distance, her sparkling eyes dropped, and when she turned her head, she When she saw the emperor walking in, she had no choice but to bend down and say hello: "I would like to say hello to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed with peace."

"Shun Gui." It took the emperor a while to think of her, and he nodded with her, "Get up, are you feeling better?"

"Your Majesty, please remember that I am doing much better." Shun Guiren lowered his eyebrows and lowered his hands, and replied in a dignified manner.

The emperor hummed slightly and passed her.

Li Yi stood behind Shun Guiren and sighed softly: "I don't know when the imperial concubine will be able to come out. She has lost a lot of weight." She looked at Shun Guiren and said, "Little Master, it's cold outside, so you'd better go back to the house. "

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has done me such a great favor, and Mr. An has been so kind to my father. I will never be able to repay you enough in this life." Shun Guiren murmured softly, "My Majesty is in a difficult situation now, even if the Emperor reads If you are still willing to be kind to your empress because of the old relationship, there is no guarantee that she will still be so good in the future. If your empress never gets better, and if there is a new couple in the future, over time, the emperor may not be able to get tired of your empress."

She looked at the gate of Chengxi Palace with sorrow in her eyes.

An Lingrong treated her well, and Shun Guiren always kept it in mind. Since the big revenge was avenged, she didn't want to be favored anymore, so An Lingrong also protected her so that she could stay in Zichun safely. If you chant sutras in the pavilion, your life will be smooth and worry-free.

Keshun Guiren is not the kind of heartless person. She knows how painful it is for An Lingrong to lose Ankang, and she also knows how difficult it is for her to have no one under her now - as long as the imperial concubine nods, she is willing to use her posture to serve her, but , the empress has been silent for a long time.

In Chengxi Hall, An Lingrong was making incense.

"I see you are feeling more energetic. How have you been sleeping recently?" As soon as the emperor came in, his voice lowered involuntarily.

"My concubine didn't sleep well, so I wanted to mix some incense for myself." An Lingrong did not stop the movements of her hands and continued to mix the spices unhurriedly. She paused slightly and curled the corners of her mouth. He raised his head and said, "I had a dream last night. I dreamed of Ankang. She was wearing a beautiful flowing fairy dress, like a little fairy. Unfortunately, I woke up before I could say a few more words. If I could sleep It’ll be better if it takes a little longer.”

The emperor looked at her fluttering eyelashes and felt a twitching pain in his heart. He couldn't help but touch the purse he was carrying, and his voice was choked for a moment: "Rong'er, I left the palace the day before yesterday for a trip to Ganlu." Temple.”

An Lingrong's hand movements paused slightly, and then she heard the emperor continue: "She is not in Ganlu Temple, but lives on Lingyun Peak. After two years, she finally figured it out. I don't know what method she used. I got through the door of Su Peisheng. The Queen Mother was ill, so I went out to see her on the pretext of praying for her blessings. She lost a lot of weight, but after all, she had practiced spiritual practice for two years, and her temperament was much calmer than before, even when talking about the past. I regret that I didn’t, but I thought about choosing a day to take her back to the palace, Rong’er, do you think that’s okay?”

Sister Zhen, are you coming back after all?
An Lingrong raised his head blankly and looked out the window at the gray sky, his eyes full of sadness and confusion.

Why should she come back?This palace is not a good place. After finally getting out and having someone you love, why bother to go back to this cage and struggle?Because of me?I can't protect Ankang, and maybe I won't be able to protect Haoyue in the future. Is that why my sister wants to come back...

Seeing that An Lingrong was in a daze again, the emperor couldn't bear it and felt distressed. He stared at her for a long time before slowly getting up and saying to Dill: "Take good care of your mother-in-law. I will come to see her another day."

"Yes." Dill held back her tears and bowed, standing behind An Lingrong, accompanying her silently.

No one noticed such symptoms at first. It wasn't until An Lingrong looked at Brother Seventh with a strange expression on his return from Yikun Palace that day and asked, "Whose family does this child belong to?" that Dill and the others realized something was wrong. I came here and invited Zhou Nan to come and see me. He said that the blow was too great and he had a heart attack. It could take as short as half a year or as long as several years. He was afraid that it would be difficult to recover.

When he gets sick, An Lingrong will be in a daze like he is now, and sometimes he will be in a daze for a whole day. When he comes back to his senses, he will eat and sleep as if nothing happened. , I would chant sutras and recite Buddha's name more often. It is very rare to sit and mix incense like today.

"Dill." It wasn't until night fell that An Lingrong suddenly came back to his senses, "Go and ask Cardamom to come over."

Dill was slightly startled, nodded and retreated.

Not long after, Daukou walked in. She silently walked to An Lingrong's side and stood still to listen to the order. Dill saw it and felt distressed again.

After Ankang's death, apart from An Lingrong, Doujiao was hit the hardest. She believed that it was her own negligence that led to the tragedy. She grew up overnight and was like a different person. She was no longer the lively and cheerful person she used to be. , sunny cardamom.

"This incense is called Meng Li Ku, and I sent it to Concubine Zhen." An Lingrong put the newly blended incense in a palm-sized mahogany box and handed it to Daquan, "Do it yourself, don't let her die too much." Relaxed."

"Yes." Cardamom took the spice and disappeared into the night.

After the cardamom left, An Lingrong picked up another piece of licorice and started grinding it. Seeing Dill's worried face, she smiled softly: "Mengli Bitter, add two spices to it, and it's another kind of fragrance. It's called Menlixiang, and it's better than Menlixiang." Benzoin is more useful. When Sister Zhen comes back, you can send some for me." As she said that, she became dazed again and murmured to herself, "The queen will definitely not let her return to the palace so easily. I want to help her. That’s all.”

There were soft footsteps at the door. Zhao Xuan walked in with the prepared medicine in her hands and stood next to Dill: "It's late at night. Madam, please take a rest early after drinking the medicine." An Lingrong took the medicine bowl and said, Looking at Zhao Xuan: "Are you the new palace maid? When did you come? I don't even know."

Zhao Xuan seemed to have gotten used to it, and just smiled and said: "I forgot again, slave Zhao Xuan, who only entered the Weiyang Palace last month, and the queen praised my servant's cooking skills."

"It's you." An Lingrong nodded and finished the medicine in his hand.

The good medicine tasted bitter, so An Lingrong drank it up as soon as she raised her head, but the Queen Mother was so bitter that she couldn't even take a sip. She waved her hand and motioned for Shen Meizhuang to take the medicine bowl away, and sighed: "Is your concubine feeling better today?"

Shen Meizhuang handed the medicine bowl to Zhu Xi. After hearing this, he lowered his eyes and shook his head: "It's still the same. It's good now, but not good the next."

"The Ai family is old and no longer useful. They are always prone to disasters and illnesses. Now there are people who dare to do whatever they want under the eyes of the Ai family." The Queen Mother's voice was low, like a pine tree and a crane at dusk. "Once the Ai family dies, I'm afraid there will be another I can’t protect you anymore.”

Shen Meizhuang was startled and hurriedly stood up and knelt down: "For the Queen Mother to say such sad words, I really deserve death."

"Don't worry, the Aijia will definitely protect you and your concubine when you are with the Aijia." The queen mother knew her character, so naturally she would not blame her. She gently asked her to get up. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard shouting from outside, " The Queen is here." He couldn't help but sneered, "Listen, the Queen is so powerful."

The Queen walked in like a gust of wind, took off her cloak and walked to the Queen Mother's bed to salute and say hello: "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

"I don't dare, as long as the queen is safe, the queen doesn't need to care about my wife's safety." The queen mother's tone was full of anger. She didn't give the queen any face, but she was a little embarrassed to get off the stage. Seeing that Shen Meizhuang was still present, the queen raised her eyes fiercely. He gave her a hard look.

Shen Meizhuang knew what was going on: "The Queen Mother has taken the medicine, so I will leave first." Then he bowed and left.

After Shen Meizhuang left, the queen slowly opened her mouth to show weakness and said, "Your Majesty's words are serious, and I am very frightened."

"You are scared, it should be that the Ai family is scared." The Queen Mother looked at the Queen with a slight sarcasm, sarcastically, "You forced Concubine Qi to death with such a good method, and took away the third elder brother to be your son, how clean neat."

The queen's eyes flashed, and she knelt even lower: "Your Majesty, I have never done this before."

"Mingjian?" The Queen Mother raised her voice slightly, "Do you dare to say that you did not kill Concubine Qi?"

"If your mother-in-law wants to say this, I have no words to tell you." The queen refused to admit it in order to retreat.

However, the Queen Mother knew everything already. She sneered and directly revealed the Queen's true face: "Of course you are speechless. You rushed to kill Cui Guo next to Concubine Qi to silence her and pushed her into the lotus pond. Little did you know that Cui Guo Afraid of being implicated, she ran to the Ai family early in the morning and told the Ai family everything she saw and heard."

The queen's eyes flashed: "But Cuiguo was indeed not killed by my concubine."

How could the Queen Mother believe her again: "Anyway, this is not the first time you have done such a harmful thing. How your biological sister, Queen Chunyuan, died, you know better than the Ai family."

"Since the Queen knows this, she should also know that everything I do is for the Ulanala family." The Queen finally stopped pretending. She took off her mask and showed a smile that revealed her true nature, "The Queen should I know even more clearly than I do that with my sister’s soft temperament, I cannot rule the harem, let alone suppress the concubines and balance the left and right, only I can do such a thing.”

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth: "Very good, you are brave enough to do what you want." She had tears in her eyes, "Including the two miscarriages of Xin Gui and Fu Cha Gui, you have committed a lot of sins. Are you still unwilling to give up? If your son is still here, would you like to see his mother-in-law become such a person with bloody hands? "

"My concubine has a hard life. My eldest brother died young, but I know that neither the Wuya family nor the Uranala family are prominent. The emperor's mother worked hard to become the queen mother, and she also saved my concubine to become the queen and continue her glory. , I am wary, and everything I do is to protect the family's power." The queen said plausibly, "I am not wrong."

"Of course you are not wrong. The Ai family has never been a queen. She only became the queen mother after the death of the late emperor. Therefore, as soon as the emperor ascends the throne, the Ai family will let you be the queen. The reason is that the throne of the queen must be in our own hands. So many of your mistakes are invisible to the Ai family, but inside the concubine’s belly is the Ai family’s royal grandson, and the Ai family loves the emperor’s grandson even more. No matter which concubine’s son ascends the throne, you are the legitimate mother and queen mother, you You are so eager to kill your mother and seize your son, how can you do it so cruelly?"

"How can there be two queen mothers in the harem." The queen lowered her face and showed her murderous intent for the first time in front of the queen mother. "Instead of two tigers fighting each other and then getting rid of each other, it will not be as convenient and neat as it is today. Minister. I am certainly guilty, but what I have in mind is the entire Uranala clan. Does the Queen think there is anyone worthy of taking charge of the Sixth Palace?"

She raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, her eyes full of contentment: "The only candidate is Chen Concubine, and only Chen Concubine is the only queen who has a mother-in-law in the world."
