The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

The east wind blows, spring turns cold, the moonlight is as misty as smoke, like a dream, the corals of the Yongshou Palace are shining, even more brilliant under the bright moonlight, and the harem shrouded in the moonlight becomes more and more quiet...

A drop of cold water fell on her eyebrows, and An Lingrong suddenly woke up. The golden sunlight fell in from the window and warmed the bedroom. She slowly sat up and stepped on the light with her bare feet, but her figure was hidden in the shadows.

After sitting like this for a long time, the sound of a bowl breaking into pieces brought her back from her thoughts. Dill flew towards her with tears streaming down her face: "My Lady, you are finally awake. I thought, I thought..."

An Lingrong smiled lightly and raised his hand to wipe away Dill's tears: "Isn't this good for me? Why are you crying?"

Her fingertips were unusually cold, but Dill was immersed in joy and ignored the past. She kept nodding and called Zhou Nan: "Mr. Zhou, your Majesty is awake. Is she okay?" As she asked, Dou Kao went to Yangxin Hall to inform the emperor.

Zhou Nan took his pulse carefully, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble. He looked up at An Lingrong, his eyes full of astonishment. However, An Lingrong just looked at him with a smile in her eyes, until Zhou Nan couldn't bear it anymore. Holding such a gaze, she blinked slightly and looked away.

"Yes, your Majesty is already well." Zhou Nan said with some difficulty, with an imperceptible bitterness in her voice.

Dill said "Amitabha" in a loud voice, not noticing anything unusual about Zhou Nan, and said to herself: "Your Majesty has lost a lot of weight due to her serious illness. I will ask the kitchen to make some warming tonic." The medicated diet, give the empress a good supplement..."

"Dill, tell me first what happened in the palace during this period." An Lingrong stopped Dill with a smile.

"Your Majesty has just woken up, why are you so anxious and troublesome?" Even though Dill said this, she did not dare to hide it from An Lingrong. She said it in detail, "My Majesty has been ill for three months, and everything in the palace has been turned upside down. . A year ago, there were three pregnant concubines in the palace, but after the new year, they lost their children one after another, all related to the queen. The emperor was exhausted mentally and physically because of this, and he lost weight. "

An Lingrong listened quietly, Zhou Nan had retreated outside to cook medicine, and they were the only two people left in the dormitory.

"In the first month of the first month, Wen Gui had a miscarriage due to being exposed to musk day and night. Later it was found out that Aunt Jianqiu, who was beside the queen, ordered someone to do it. The emperor punished her and sent her to the Criminal Division." Dill added an item to An Lingrong. She put on her clothes, poured her another cup of hot water, and continued, "Last month, Concubine Xi got a new coral and invited all the concubines to come and see it. During this period, she and the Empress were alone in a room chatting, and they didn't know what happened. There was some quarrel, and the Queen actually pushed Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi was not paying attention and her stomach hit the corner of the table hard, causing her to have a miscarriage immediately."

An Lingrong's movement of drinking water immediately froze: "The queen is so unscrupulous?"

"It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but Princess Longyue identified her in court. The emperor believed it without doubt, and the queen couldn't argue with her." Dill whispered. Seeing An Lingrong's indifferent expression, she continued, "And Concubine Jin is in front. A few days ago, the fetus was born prematurely, and a stillborn baby was born. I heard that it was a little prince who had already formed. He was dead as soon as he hit the ground, and his body was covered with blue spots. The emperor was furious and ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly. Who knows, but he also When it comes to the Queen..."

Before the final note of Dill left, a loud singing came from the door. Then, panicked footsteps sounded, the door was pushed open violently, and the emperor walked in panting: "Rong'er!"

An Lingrong raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking up: "I would like to pay my respects to the Emperor..."

"Get up." The emperor took two quick steps to support An Lingrong. His tentacles were cold and he frowned, "Why are your hands so cold?" He closed his palms to warm her hands, and then told Dill, "Go and give it to the imperial concubine. Get a hand stove."

Dill hurriedly responded.

"You are sick, and I don't even have anyone to say caring words to." The emperor held An Lingrong in his arms. He could only touch a pair of bones for a long time, and his heart suddenly hurt badly. "During this period, I need to replenish my health. I got a century-old ginseng, and I’ll have it delivered to you later.”

"Okay." An Lingrong smiled with crooked eyes, appearing obedient and soft, "I will listen to the emperor."

After some tenderness, the emperor left in a hurry. Now the previous dynasty was unstable, Jungar was ambitious, and no one in the dynasty could challenge him. Everything was worrying, and the emperor could not stay in the harem for a long time. Today, he received the news that An Lingrong had awakened. Come quickly.

As soon as he left, Zhen Huan and others hurried over.

"Okay, just wake up." Zhen Huan couldn't help crying as soon as she walked in. She pulled An Lingrong up and down and looked around, feeling distressed again, "I'm so thin that I don't even have a ounce of flesh on my body. Eat more." She wiped away her tears, pulled An Lingrong to sit down, and asked someone to carry Honghao over. "You were too sick, and I was afraid of an accident, so I carried Honghao to my palace. I’ll bring it back to you now.”

An Lingrong looked at Honghao, who was puckering his lips and trying not to cry, and felt sour and painful in his heart: "Thank you, sister." She didn't have the strength to hug Honghao, so she could only use Ju Qing's hand to rub her face with him. "Honghao, be good, I will accompany you later." She motioned to Ju Qing to carry Honghao out, and then looked around at the people in the dormitory.

In addition to Zhen Huan, Concubine Duanhuang, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xin, and Concubine Shun all came, as did the Song family, who is now a member of the Fu family.

"We are all our own people here. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it." Zhen Huan said to An Lingrong, knowing that she was suspicious of Fugui, "Fugui is loyal and honest, and he is trustworthy."

Mr. Fu quickly stood up and saluted: "Concubine Yonghe Gong Song has seen Concubine Rong, may you be blessed with peace and prosperity."

An Lingrong nodded slightly. With just one glance, she knew why Zhen Huan wanted to win over her.Although this Fugui man is not outstanding in appearance, he has a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, with bright black pupils and clear eyes. If such a person speaks, even a few words will be inexplicably convincing. "Rong'er, now the queen is at the end of her life. There is only one move left to bring her down." After everyone sat down, Zhen Huan said, "Concubine Jin gave birth to a stillborn fetus. The emperor could tell at a glance the cause of the child's death and the relationship between her and the child. The second elder brother was the same, so he immediately sent people to investigate. Meili confessed, and after telling all about the plantain and almond tea, he bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot. He bit her before she died, saying that the queen asked her to do this."

"Concubine Jin is also pitiful. I didn't expect that she was plotted against by her personal palace maid." Concubine Shun looked calm, "Back then, Liangchen took the blame for Concubine Jin and was sentenced to lingchi. Mei Mei always remembered to avenge her, but Concubine Jin forgot Because of her, she went to the empress and settled in glory. She was resentful and deliberately murdered her." She frowned slightly and looked at An Lingrong, "If the empress hadn't been ill at that time, I'm afraid she would still be thinking about it. You want to slander your empress."

An Lingrong smiled and said nothing.

"Now Jiang Fuhai and Jian Qiu have been taken to the Shenxing Department for severe torture. A conclusion will be made in less than three or two days." The sadness in Concubine Duanhuang's eyes was her disapproval of Queen Chunyuan. My sorrow is endless.

"Get rid of the Queen's cancer, and the harem will finally be clean." Concubine Jing's lips raised a sneer of pleasure.

"How can this harem live a pure day..." An Lingrong muttered another sentence softly, which fell in everyone's ears like a dull thunder.

Yes, without the queen, there will be others. The battles in this palace will never stop.

It was just as Concubine Duanhuang said, in just two days, the matter was concluded.

Jiang Fuhai confessed.

"Except for confessing to the murder of Concubine Xi, and also vomiting a lot of things, everything else is not a big deal, but there is only one thing that I dare not not report." Su Peisheng reported back to the emperor with a solemn expression, "The cause of Queen Chunyuan's death. It does have something to do with the Queen.”

The emperor slowly raised his eyes, and his deep and heavy anger poured down: "Bold!"

"I don't dare." Su Peisheng's scalp tightened and he immediately knelt down. He swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "Your Majesty, I asked the imperial doctor and he said that bananas are cold in nature. It's okay to eat less. It's just that you're pregnant. Women must not eat them lightly, because plantains, like safflower and other medicines, have the effect of breaking blood clots and removing swelling. Although its medicinal properties are not as obvious as safflower, if it is steamed, its medicinal power will slowly penetrate into the food. , will harm the body in the long run. It was precisely because Queen Chunyuan often ate these during pregnancy that she became weak and her fetus could not be preserved. In addition, the chopped bitter almonds in Queen Chunyuan’s favorite almond tea are all raw and contain Toxic, the purple and blue marks on the second elder brother’s body when he was born are irrefutable evidence.”

"Did those servants say it themselves?" the emperor asked coldly.

Su Peisheng nodded: "Jiang Qiu suffered a lot of torture and didn't do anything, but Jiang Fuhai did it all."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but swayed for a moment, and his eyes were cold: "It is really her." He seemed to believe it, but also seemed not to believe it, "I thought that she and Chun Yuan were biological sisters, and she treated Chun Yuan the same way. Respectful and humble..." The emperor's voice was slightly choked, "Go and bring her here. I have been married to her for many years, and I believe that she planned to become the crown prince. I also believe that she killed the concubines and the emperor's heirs, but she is simply I want to hear what she has to say personally about Yuan."

The candlelight swayed, reflecting on An Lingrong's face, and a darkness fell. A gust of wind suddenly blew open the window, and the coldness broke in wantonly, shaking the candlelight in the room, and finally brought Chengxi Hall into a dark darkness.

An Lingrong looked up at the overlapping dark clouds outside the window. The stars and moon were gone, leaving only the dark night.

"Dill, hold the lamp and accompany me to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart."

The Yangxin Hall has never been so quiet. The guards and eunuchs were sent away. Only Su Peisheng stood guard outside the hall. An Lingrong walked in slowly. The queen's voice was like an early spring floating on the water that has not yet melted. Broken ice came from afar: "...The position of Fujin that should have belonged to my concubine was taken away by someone else. The position of prince that should have belonged to my son will also belong to someone else. All the favor of my husband has been given to me." I want to be content with her, but I can’t do it..."

The trembling tail was connected to the emperor's furious scolding: "Chunyuan is your biological sister! It was my mistake to ask you to join the palace."

"The emperor's mistake was not to welcome his concubine into the palace, but to welcome his sister into the palace and dote on her exclusively." Queen Lingling sneered, "How can you be bright when you are born with Yu! How wise is the Emperor? Why do you not understand it when it comes to yourself... "

An Lingrong stopped and stood quietly outside the door, listening.

She could hear the sadness and unwillingness of the queen as a concubine, and she could also hear the desolation and misery beneath the queen's harsh words. Perhaps the queen was once a kind-hearted woman, but fate had played a trick on her, and she was on the road of no return step by step.

If there were no Queen Chunyuan, the Queen would be the Emperor's only legitimate wife, and her lifelong wish would be fulfilled. Perhaps she would not be as vicious as she is now; if the eldest brother had grown up safely and the Queen had raised the Emperor's eldest son, she would have been the one now. As the eldest son of the current dynasty, maybe she can still keep her conscience and bottom line and not be so crazy.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

Queen Chunyuan appeared in the emperor's life. Although it only bloomed briefly like fireworks, it left an indelible trace in the emperor's heart. The queen's eldest son Honghui died of excessive fever, no matter how the queen begged the old man. God, I can't change him... (End of chapter)
