Su Peisheng held his hat tremblingly outside and said with a horrified look on his face: "Your Majesty, the third elder brother is a blessed man. Nothing serious has happened..."

Upon hearing this, the emperor took a breath, changed clothes with An Lingrong, and opened the door.

The emperor's eyes were almost overflowing with dissatisfaction with Su Peisheng.

Why is it that every time he rests at Fei An's place, Su Peisheng always scares him? !

"What's going on? I'm in a panic."

In order to prevent Su Peisheng from being exposed and Jin Xi having no support in the future, An Lingrong took the initiative to help him out.

Su Peisheng glanced at An Lingrong gratefully and said hesitantly: "It was the slaves who served Third Brother who suffocated to death!"

The emperor was furious when he heard this and took An Lingrong to visit his elder brother late at night.

When they arrived at the elder brother's house, they saw the queen rushing there.

But before the queen could speak, An Lingrong winked, and the maid belonging to Concubine Qi, who had received the money, told the story at once.

What they were talking about was nothing more than the fact that the eunuchs newly assigned by the queen to the elder brother's office were not doing well, and they saw that the third elder brother was ill and had to sleep for a long time to recuperate.

At night, when I felt hot and cold while sleeping, I divided the quilt given by the queen, took out the contents from my own quilt, and stuffed it into the third brother.

As everyone knows, the result of this is that each of them did not sew properly, let the cotton enter their mouth and nose, and suffocated to death.

The queen's expression changed drastically. She was about to say she was wronged, but was stopped by the emperor.

Because in the eyes of the emperor, the queen gradually turned into a jealous woman who was unruly and had a glimpse of the concubines and children in the harem!

He is not a fool, and he has heard some rumors these days.

But I didn't expect that there would be such a bold eunuch in the harem.

The emperor immediately ordered Su Peisheng to investigate the matter and seal off the elder brother's office.

During this period, everyone who has come into contact with Third Elder Brother, whether they are concubines or not, must be strictly questioned.

Of course, except Concubine Qi.

Hearing this, An Lingrong glanced at the resentful queen and smiled slightly.

A few days later, while everyone was busy with the chaos of ghosts and gods in the harem, the emperor thoroughly investigated the case.

An Lingrong only made a slight move and asked the emperor to allow Baojuan and Huanbi to come back.

One chatted with her to relax, and the other went to clean the broken jade pavilion to prevent the emperor from being criticized and treating the concubines in the harem harshly.

The emperor, who cherished feathers, agreed without any hesitation.

So, inside the Yongshou Palace.

When she heard the new news from her elder brother, An Lingrong was changing into plain clothes and silver jewelry. She was sitting in the heating cabinet, slowly folding gold and silver ingots and ghost papers, and said leisurely: "After death, you will be buried." Who cares if people criticize you? It’s just those relatives and friends who have suffered unreasonable disasters.

Jin Xi was helping by the side and whispered: "Your Majesty has folded so many ghost papers, where are you going to burn them? These unlucky things are not allowed in the palace."

An Lingrong tilted her silver-inlaid jade armor slightly and said slowly, "Didn't I tell you to tell Huanbi that I would send the ghost paper to accompany her to melt it together?"

Jin Xi worriedly said: "My master is going to Broken Yuxuan again??"

An Lingrong glanced at her: "What's wrong?"

Jin Xi was a little worried: "Nowadays, there are many troubles in the palace. The Queen Mother has classified this matter as a chaos of ghosts and gods, and she is doing some things for my brother to do for salvation. It would be better for the Queen not to go."

An Lingrong snorted lightly and said calmly: "I'm not even afraid, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Just as he was talking, he heard the door of Nuan Pavilion suddenly being pushed open, and Concubine Qi, dressed in plain green, flashed in as quickly as a shadow.

There was obvious confusion on her usually peaceful face, as if she was in a state of confusion.

An Lingrong raised her face to signal Jin Xi to go out. She didn't get up to greet him, and was only busy with the work in her hands.

"There are a lot of things happening in the palace now. The fear and panic on Concubine Qi's face is just fine in the concubine's palace. If you are seen by others outside, they will think that it is the ghost of the second elder brother chasing your heels and scaring you. ?”

Concubine Qi sat down in front of her, poured a cup of tea and drank it hastily. She said to her heart: "You still say such things! Do you know how the eunuch who took care of Third Brother died? He breathed in the middle of the night. Stagnated, suffocated to death."

An Lingrong shook her head and sighed with pity: "These palace people are so careless. They actually took out the down from the third brother's quilt, replaced it with a thin and old one, and suffocated to death. They really took advantage of them." .”

Concubine Qi stroked her heart and slowly calmed down. She stared at An Lingrong and said, "You should know better than anyone else where the cotton wool closest to the eunuch's lips and nose comes from."

An Lingrong sneered and said: "Of course it's the pillow and quilt of happiness and longevity that the empress secretly made with her own hands. The fragrance naturally made them have evil thoughts, plus the phantom fragrance concocted by my concubine without knowing it. "

Concubine Qi was startled, put down the tea bowl in her hand, and shouted angrily: "You have completely forgotten it now. That bed pillow was clearly made by you. You can tell it by looking at the stitching. How dare you deny it!" "

An Lingrong gently pressed the powder on her cheeks and whispered softly: "My Queen, don't be anxious. Are you here to interrogate the concubines on behalf of the Queen? Can stitches talk? Can you recognize people?" Huh? After all, except for the last time I went to my brother’s house with my wife, I haven’t set foot in my house again.”

Concubine Qi was angry, anxious and scared. She pointed at her with trembling fingers and said, "You..."

An Lingrong stretched out her hand gently, held her cold fingers and gently folded them back into her palm, and said with a smile: "I'm just joking with you, haven't you figured out what's urgent?"

Concubine Qi was stunned: "What?"

An Lingrong put away her smile and said in a steady tone: "Your Majesty's top priority is to tell the Emperor that the nuns and palace people in my elder brother's office did not take good care of him, which has caused the third elder brother to be in bad condition so far, so I request that the third elder brother be kept here." Take care of yourself.”

"Your Majesty, you must know that if someone comes to his senses first and then takes up Third Brother's idea, you will not be able to guard against him."

Concubine Qi understood and immediately said: "Yes, yes! I want to tell the emperor and the queen to severely punish those servants who do not serve me well. I hope the emperor will not notice me."

An Lingrong smiled confidently and said: "Of course the emperor will not notice your Majesty. Today at noon, we burned my brother's things. It is a big project to overthrow and rebuild.

Concubine Qi was greatly comforted, smiled relaxedly, and immediately looked at her hesitantly and alertly.

"then you……"

An Lingrong said respectfully: "My concubine's hands are naturally not as clean as my queen's. So my queen really doesn't have to worry about what my concubine will say."

Concubine Qi smiled and said, "My sister is interested."

When night comes, dark clouds cover the bright moon, and even the dim stars are not visible.

Because of the brother's problem, the queen was guilty, and the palace eunuchs were pulled out to punish her.

In the Forbidden City, in addition to the dull darkness, there is a cry like wind and rain, and even the usual splendor has turned into a rusty dull color.

The queen's thoughts were revealed, so she could only pretend to be ill and rest, but she couldn't take care of anything else. Fortunately, An Lingrong presided over it, and she personally took care of every detail, and everything was thoughtful and decent.

In this way, An Lingrong's prestige in the harem was much higher.

A female voice said angrily: "I asked you to take a good look at Princess Gongding, but there are so many of you, but you can't even look down on a little girl. You are all trash."

A palace maid said: "Concubine Duan, please calm down. Just now Princess Gongding said she was tired from the mourning and wanted to come to the imperial garden to play, but when she turned around, she disappeared. The slaves deserve to die."

Concubine Duan's low tone contained suppressed anger: "The Queen Mother entrusted Princess Gongding to me because she trusted me. If something goes wrong, how can she bear it? Why don't you go find the princess and come back!"

The palace people were looking around, and suddenly one of them became happy, like a phoenix: "Princess, why are you here?"

Princess Gongding was wearing a silver robe and a small waistcoat embroidered with silver silk peonies. She was playing with something in her hand.

Concubine Duan followed the sound and said happily: "Gong Ding, why are you staying there? Come to Concubine Duan quickly."

Princess Gongding lowered her head for a moment and handed the thing in her hand to Concubine Duan: "Concubine Duan, please take a look, what a good thing this is."

Concubine Duan took it and looked at it by the light of the ram's horn lantern, but it was a half-burnt paper doll.

It was painted with colorful patterns, and it was probably blown over before it was finished burning. No wonder Princess Gongding couldn't stop looking at it.

Concubine Duan felt confused, knowing that this thing was burned for people underground.

After thinking about it, he took the silk and carefully wrapped the half of the puppet. He coaxed Princess Gongding to smile and said, "Come, I have a fresh shadow puppet show there, which is much more fun than this one. Come back with me quickly."

After all, Princess Gongding was a child at heart, so she was happy and followed her.

Concubine Duan touched the silk in her sleeve again and again, and she had some thoughts in her heart.

On this day, Concubine Qi and An Lingrong were sitting in the courtyard, admiring the flowers decorated with colored paper on the slightly dry branches of the trees. They admired: "It's my sister who has the intention to decorate the branches with colored paper flowers. It doesn't look good at all." It’s so deserted.”

An Lingrong glanced at it and said, "Sister Qi Fei doesn't know something. This flower should be cut with colorful silk to make it look the best, but it can't be done now."

Concubine Qi quietly looked outside, nodded and said, "This is too wasteful. If the Queen Mother knows about it, it will be another reprimand."

An Lingrong smiled softly, pulled on Concubine Qi's newly made rose purple flying gold satin fox ruffles and said: "Now the queen no longer suppresses the empress, the third elder brother's health is getting better day by day, and the empress's status is unusual. If you dress better and use it better, others will naturally flatter you, who dares to say anything."

Concubine Qi smiled and patted her hand, then pushed an agate red gold nine-ring bracelet onto her wrist, and said affectionately: "If my sister hadn't persuaded me to take a risk for my third elder brother, where would I be today?" The principle of compensation by being rewarded by the emperor."

The two of them saw that the third elder brother, who had recovered, was playing with the fourth elder brother on the porch, when they saw the emperor coming over and said with a smile: "I heard laughter from a distance, and I felt happy when I heard it."

Concubine Qi and An Lingrong hurriedly knelt down and said, "May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

The emperor gave the two of them a hand and said with a smile, "An Lingrong, you are here too."

An Lingrong looked at the emperor with a smile, and her eyes were filled with admiration: "The emperor likes the excitement, so why doesn't he allow his concubines to come and enjoy the excitement?"

Concubine Qi smiled and said: "Concubine An is envious that I have a child. It would be great if Concubine An could have another princess, right?"

There was a hint of embarrassment in the emperor's smile.

"I don't think so. The more children, the better. If the late emperor's descendants are prosperous, our royal family can also prosper."

He was about to take a step forward when he saw Huanbi's face was gentle and respectful, like a small spring flower that was about to bloom.

Delicate and shy, but with a little pride in having the first chance of spring.

The emperor noticed unconsciously: "Are you...?"

Huanbi's voice was as clear as mountain spring water, and was moving: "I am from the Suiyuxuan Palace. Now that the palace is clean, I will come over to serve Concubine An."

Huanbi was sensible enough not to give her name, and the emperor was too embarrassed to ask in front of everyone.

An Lingrong saw all this in her eyes, the corners of her mouth raised, and the scheming light on Zhen Huan shone brightly in her eyes.

The next day, An Lingrong walked to the Royal Garden. She was thinking about it, but she heard someone murmuring behind the Fubi Pavilion in front of her.

The voice of one of them was very familiar, and he stopped unconsciously, signaling Jin Xi to be silent.

An Lingrong knew that Huanbi had found an opportunity to get close to the emperor.

But this game is just an introduction for An Lingrong to follow. She is not generous enough to let Huanbi sleep with her and become sisters with her in the future.

A bay of clear water, like thin spring silk, silently winds past the Fubi Pavilion, gurgling down.

The flowers and trees all around are gradually sprouting into yellow and emerald green, and the grass is green and lush.

Through the gaps between the tiny leaves of the clumps of beautiful tree branches, a bright yellow color unexpectedly came into view.

The emperor only said to the green-robed palace maid in front of him: "I remember seeing you yesterday in Concubine Qi's palace. Why did you bump into my eyes again in the imperial garden today?"

The palace maid said timidly: "Concubine Qi asked the servant to deliver some cakes to Third Brother. After the servant delivered them, she walked back to the Imperial Garden and back to Suiyu Pavilion. She didn't mean to disturb the emperor."

The emperor smiled and held her moist chin, and said, "Have I ever said that you disturb me? The spring scenery hits my eyes with joy and joy, and the same is true when I look at you."

The palace maid understood immediately and hurriedly moved away from the emperor's fingers. She said shyly and timidly, "I am ignorant and dare not accept such praise from the emperor."

The emperor's smile is like the spring breeze blowing on your face, turning into budding flower buds and prompting trees to bloom.

"What's your name? You look familiar to me?"

"My name is Huanbi"

The emperor understood immediately upon hearing this that it was a good thing that Huanbi was dragged back to the palace by An Lingrong to destroy Yuxuan.

But Sui Yuxuan no longer has a master, so the slaves must also suffer.

Therefore, Huanbi wanted to use Concubine Qi to protect herself, which was perfectly normal in the eyes of the emperor.

So, he nodded and said, "Huanbi is an excellent name."

Under An Lingrong's training, the emperor saw the shadows of Zhen Huan and Chun Yuan through Huanbi's appearance.

There was a thin blush between Huanbi's brows, as if the clouds on the horizon were condensed between her delicate brows, reluctant to leave.

She seemed a little afraid, and although her voice was soft, she was restrained and distant.

"This slave has to go and pray for the young lady. I hope the emperor will allow it."
