The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"...When the child died, my sister was pregnant. The emperor only cared about the joy of my sister's pregnancy. How could he remember my concubine and your child?" The queen's voice was like a ghost asking for her life, crying blood, "Honghui still When he was less than three years old, he had a high fever that burned his whole body and he died. I held him in my arms and walked in the rain all night. I wanted to go to the Hall of the King of Hell to beg the gods and Buddhas in the hall. If you want to take my life, take my life. Don't take my life. My son's life!" She looked crazy and ghostly, "And my sister actually had a child at this time. Didn't her son take my son's life? How could I tolerate the birth of her son!"

"You are crazy!" The emperor scolded sternly, with deep sorrow in his voice, "It was I who insisted on marrying Chunyuan, it was I who insisted on making her a Fujin, and it was I who had a child with her! Why don't you hate me? !”

"Does Your Majesty think I don't want you? I want to hate you so much, but I can't do it..." The queen took a short breath and told her years of admiration. But at this moment, such admiration made the emperor feel sick. "The emperor only has sister in his eyes. Your Majesty, have you ever known that my concubine loves you as much as you do for your sister. Does your emperor think that your sister loves you a lot?" She laughed softly, "If she really does, Your Majesty, you will never tolerate your eldest brother having an eldest brother with your concubine, nor will you tolerate a woman in the palace sharing a husband with her. Only my concubine truly loves the emperor!"

"You are so disgusting to me." The emperor looked at the queen coldly and had no desire to talk to her anymore.

The queen burst into tears, and the emperor's words were like a knife, piercing into her heart and turning her internal organs into a bloody mess.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and An Lingrong walked in slowly at this moment.

"Why are you here?" The emperor was a little surprised. He stood up and walked to An Lingrong, reaching out to help her.

An Lingrong bowed to the emperor and bowed, then took out the edict he had prepared early in the morning and walked to the top to stand, looking directly at the emperor: "I have been ordered to read out the edict of the Queen Mother, and please kneel down to receive it."

The emperor's face darkened, but he still knelt down respectfully.

An Lingrong slowly unfolded the bright yellow edict and spoke in a soft voice: "The Queen Mother has left an edict. If the Queen is guilty of disrespect after the Aijia's death, the Emperor does not need to care about the friendship between the Aijia and the Queen, let alone the relationship between the Queen Chunyuan and the Queen. Friendship should be based on the overall situation.”

The queen was stunned in place. After a long time, she closed her eyes and cried sadly.

In the end, she had nothing left.

"My son, I sincerely obey the emperor's decree." The emperor spoke loudly, and after reading the edict again and again, he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was the handwriting of the queen mother.

The emperor had just made up his mind to depose the queen, but he hesitated again when he remembered the care that the queen mother had given to the queen during her lifetime and the words Chun Yuan had entrusted her before her death. This edict from the queen mother came at the right time.

"Queen Uranara, destiny is unforgiving, she is flashy, she harms the emperor's heirs, and fans fan the court. How can she honor the ancestral temple and honor the world as her mother? She will be deposed as a commoner and placed in the cold palace." Before the imperial examination, the emperor wrote one stroke after another The words fell, and finally, the red seal was pressed.

An Lingrong watched with cold eyes. The moment the red seal fell, the tight string in her heart finally loosened.

Her long-cherished wish had come true, and she had nothing more to ask for.

The decree of abolishing the queen caused a storm in the palaces of the previous dynasties, and among the chaos, only the cold palace remained silent.

"I knew you would come." Yi Xiu looked at An Lingrong, who came alone, with a bleak sneer, "I don't have a good tea treat. I feel wronged by Concubine Rong."

Even though she has been deposed, she still maintains her dignity as a queen. The tattered red palace dress is embroidered with a black swastika pattern. The collar that should have been exquisite is now thorny, and the dragon flower embroidered with golden peonies is no longer as white as before.Yi Xiu was sitting in the dilapidated cold palace hall. Because she was wearing a sinful body, she had no jewelry. Her long hair was meticulously combed behind her head and only fixed with a silver hairpin. She looked even more haggard and thin. bone.

"Come to see you off." An Lingrong stepped forward slowly, opened the food box in his hand, and took out the good wine and food from it, his voice as light as smoke.

"I have always heard that Concubine Rong's craftsmanship is excellent, but I have never tasted it. Today I finally have the opportunity to try it." Yi Xiu lowered his eyebrows and smiled, with a gentle look that An Lingrong had never seen before. She slowly He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. "The wine has a long aroma and endless aftertaste. It's a good wine."

An Lingrong did not speak, but stared blankly at the few birds fluttering past in the blue sky outside the gate. Their snow-white wings were almost blended with the flowing clouds. The sky was obviously bright and the sun was shining brightly, but it was not illuminated no matter what. The darkness and dampness of the cold palace will not dissipate.

"An Lingrong, now that the throne is vacant, do you intend to become the queen of the Qing Dynasty?" Yi Xiu finished the wine in the glass and seemed a little drunk, with a strange flush on her face. She was fascinated. She chuckled foolishly, "If you become a queen, maybe you will understand how much pain I have hidden under the forced virtuousness over the years..." She stood up unsteadily and took two steps. Tian has been thinking, if I had not killed my sister back then, had not let her die at the most beautiful time, but lived, let the years eliminate her beauty, let the harem’s secrets exhaust her pure kindness, maybe, she would also Become what I am now.”

"I have never met Queen Chunyuan, but I also know that a kind heart leads to beauty." An Lingrong said lightly, "The Queen Mother said that Queen Chunyuan was thinking of you before she died, so the emperor must treat you kindly. You, but she doesn’t know that the sister she loves with all her heart will be the one who sends her to a dead end.”

Yi Xiu turned around and looked at An Lingrong, standing in the shadows against the light, smiling fiercely: "She knows...she knows everything I did back then, but she was willing to die."

When An Lingrong met Yi Xiu's eyes, he felt his hairs standing on end, as if a poisonous snake was slowly crawling up his back.

"Because I discovered her secret, a huge secret." Yi Xiu's mouth slowly overflowed with blood, and her face became more and more like a ghost from hell. "She carefully planned a conspiracy. From the first time she met the emperor, From the moment we met, everything was fake. The person my sister loved was never the emperor..."

Prince Guo.

The name suddenly appeared in An Lingrong's mind. She pursed her lips tightly, and suddenly an idea flashed: "You are lying to me." An Lingrong stared into Yi Xiu's eyes, catching her fleeting emotion. Hastily, "If you discover the secret, she can kill you once and for all. Why bother sacrificing herself?" She stood up and approached the queen step by step, her voice tight: "In the beginning, Queen Chunyuan did approach with a purpose. The emperor's, but she fell in love with the emperor. In order to destroy the so-called plan of her and the person behind her, she got involved and destroyed everything, and you are just a knife handed over at the right time. Isn't it? "

The hall was silent for a moment, with only the sound of wind blowing.

"In his later years, the late emperor only favored Concubine Shu, and he was very fond of Prince Guo. At that time, the civil and military officials in the whole court were discussing that after Yunhu Yunqi, the position of prince might fall on him. It is a pity that the late emperor did not If I can live longer, this throne will be taken by the emperor after all..." Yi Xiu didn't answer An Lingrong's words anymore, and talked about the past in no detail, and only halfway through, her figure changed. He fell down with a crash, falling on his back to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The deposed Empress Ulanara lived a life of honor and dignity, but when she died, she didn't even have a coffin. She died in the cold palace with no one paying attention.

An Lingrong quietly looked at Yi Xiu, who was completely breathless, and walked out of the cold palace with weak hands and feet.

Dill hurriedly came over with her cloak. She talked a lot, but An Lingrong didn't listen to a word. She just raised her head, facing the warm sunshine, and whispered softly: "Such a beautiful sunshine, I’m afraid I’ll never see you again…”

Back at Weiyang Palace, An Lingrong asked Dill to invite Zhen Huan and others. She would cook and entertain them today.

The golden sunshine fell in the yard, and the children's laughter and laughter could be heard in the distance. An Lingrong and Zhen Huan were discussing in the small kitchen whether it was better to make seabass soup or three fresh soup. Concubine Duanhuang and Concubine Jing were under the tree. During the chess game, Concubine Xin was smiling and drinking tea, while Concubine Shun and Concubine Ning were sitting far away in the corridor, playing strings and singing.

"There is a strange tree in the courtyard, with lush green leaves. Climb the branches to break its glory. I will leave you with thoughts, and the fragrance fills my sleeves. It is a long way to get to it. This thing is not valuable, but I feel that I will never leave..."

Fu Guiren was hurriedly gathering among the children: "Brother Ninth, you can't eat this, be careful of eating it and it will ruin your stomach... Brother Eight, slow down, the steps are high, don't fall...Princess Longyue, Princess Lingxi are not even sure when they walk." , how can I run..."

Honghao slowly ate the dill-cut fruit that was handed to him. He sat on a stool and swung his short legs: "Fourth brother, Sixth brother is so slow. He won't fall into the water again while walking on the road." Have you gone?"

Hongli laughed dumbly: "Sixth brother, I didn't pay attention for a while. Why do you keep holding on to this matter every day? Be careful if he doesn't let you go." He reached out and poked Honghao's head, taking advantage of his Inadvertently, he took a bite out of the apple in his hand, showing a triumphant smile.

"...Fourth brother, you are so childish." Honghao glanced at him speechlessly, took a small fork and forked another piece of apple, jumped off the stool, "I am playing with Sister Wen Yi, and I will ignore fourth brother."

"Hey, no, I'm just kidding." Hong Li hurriedly followed up, picked up Hong Hao and held him in his arms. He turned around and bumped into Hong Ruo, who was rushing over. He hurriedly stabilized his body and almost three times. Individuals fell into a heap.

However, Lu Yue was just looking at it for fun. She pulled Ling Xi and ran over. She imitated Hong Ruo's fall and rushed forward. Hong Li couldn't withstand it at this time. He only had time to protect Hong Hao and cushion him. At the bottom, he let his younger brothers and sisters fall on him, and they suddenly fell into pieces, causing everyone to exclaim. Hong Zhao wanted to join in the fun, but luckily the noble man held him back.

"Is this stacking Arhats?" Zhen Huan came out with the newly made cakes and looked at the pile of children on the ground with a surprised expression.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin were laughing so hard that they couldn't speak. They got up and went to hug the child. Concubine Duanhuang smiled and patted Wen Yi and asked her to help. She turned to Zhen Huan and explained: "They are all yours." You are making trouble, you have to imitate others, Fourth Brother was already standing firm, but he fell like this because of her making trouble, Concubine Xi, do you think he should be punished?"

"Of course you have to be punished." Zhen Huan looked at Haoyue lovingly. After returning to her side, Haoyue became more playful in addition to being demure, which made people unable to help teasing her, "I will punish you... …You are not allowed to eat this plate of chestnut cake.”

Longyue opened her mouth blankly and said "ah", and hugged Zhen Huan in aggrieved manner and acted coquettishly. Zhen Huan bit her to death and refused to eat. As soon as she turned her head, Hongli stuffed a piece for Longyue. The brother and sister met and laughed. Hao was whispering to Hongrong from behind, Wen Yi was coaxing Lingxi, and Hongyang imitated Hongzhao and ate chestnut cake until his mouth was full.

"Sister, it's such a good life like this." An Lingrong walked out of the small kitchen and looked at the people in the yard with tender eyes.

Zhen Huan walked slowly to her side and said with a smile: "Yes, it would be great if it could always be like this from now on." She retracted her thoughts and said, "I see that the dishes are almost there. I will leave the rest." Come and do it, you will feel better, go and have a rest." Then, she called Xiao Yinzi, "Go and bring out your mother-in-law's favorite deck chair, and put it under the hibiscus tree."

An Lingrong didn't refuse. After cleaning his hands, he went over and lay down.

Dill quickly brought a blanket to cover her, while Daukou watched eagerly as she drank the last sip of the medicine before going to do anything else.

An Lingrong was lying under the tree, with the sun shining warmly on his face. The wind rustled the leaves, and a few birds chirped crisply and sweetly. The smooth Ruan strings accompanied by Ning Bin's singing created a feeling of comfort and leisure. There was the noise of laughter and domestic gossip mixed in.

"Rong'er..." The emperor's voice came from far away, with the same tenderness and affection as always...

That's fine.

In the gorgeous sunshine, An Lingrong slowly closed his eyes and never opened them again. (End of chapter)
