After transforming into An Lingrong, he became the King of Juan and was crowned the Sixth Palace.

Concubine Hua wanted to say something more, but Concubine Duan had recovered her breath and said slowly: "Why doesn't sister Hua Concubine believe it?"

Concubine Hua said: "It's not that I'm suspicious, I just feel that Concubine Duan seems to be familiar with Concubine An."

Concubine Duan smiled faintly, "I have only had a relationship with An Bi before. The first time we met was at Wen Yi's birthday ceremony. Does Concubine Hua mean that I intend to protect her by saying this?"

As he spoke, he shook his head sadly, looked straight at the emperor, and said: "I am ill and should not be busy, so why should I tell lies to protect a newly promoted concubine?"

Seeing that Concubine Duan was so weak and so sad in front of Concubine Hua, everyone couldn't help but look at Concubine Hua secretly.

Concubine Hua was speechless and could only say: "I didn't think so. Concubine Duan is too worried."

After saying that, Concubine Hua gritted her teeth and turned her face away.

The queen smiled and said, "Concubine An, sit down first and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

After saying that, the queen glanced at Concubine Hua again.

Concubine Duan turned her eyes and looked around at the maids standing behind the concubines. She coughed a few times and looked pale.

Just listen to her saying slowly: "It makes sense for Sister Hua not to believe what I said. Just now, I seemed to have heard a palace maid outside the hall saying that I saw An Bin going to the direction of Yanyuzhai that night. It would be better to clarify it again, so as not to do this again in the future. There has been a dispute. I wonder what the emperor and the empress do?"

The Queen said: "Of course it is good."

As she said that, the queen said with a serious tone, "Which two people just testified against An Bin? Come out yourself."

Immediately, two palace maids plopped down on the ground, their beautiful faces turned pale and they leaned over.

The queen asked: "Did you both witness An Bin entering Yanyu Zhai with your own eyes?"

A palace maid said: "My servant saw An Bin going towards Yanyu Zhai. As for whether she went in, it seems, it seems?"

"What do you mean it seems? It's completely unfounded."

After the queen finished speaking, she looked at the other maid, "What about you?"

She kowtowed her head lower and said in a panic: "I just saw An Bin alone."

The Queen ignored them and just said: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

At this moment, An Lingrong interjected, "I guess you can answer the question what color the clothes I changed into that day were."

The two palace ladies stammered and couldn't answer the question. One guessed green and the other guessed blue.

It can be seen from this that they did not see An Lingrong and it was completely fabricated.

In this regard, the emperor knew that this was most likely a poisonous plot devised by Concubine Hua to target Concubine An and Concubine Xin.

Therefore, he showed a look of disgust, waved his hand and said: "The queen has one thing to do, she is not allowed to condone the palace people's bad habit of catching wind and shadow."

The Queen ordered Jiang Fuhai standing beside her: "Pull her down and slander your concubines is a taboo in the palace. Kill her with a stick to serve as a warning to others."

The clear and loud sound of wooden sticks and the sound of the palace maids crying soon came from the window. Not long after, the sound became louder and quieter. It was obvious that the two palace ladies had lost their voices.

Meizhuang and other timid concubines turned their heads, unwilling to listen to the sound of the eunuchs cleaning up the corpses outside.

As for Concubine Hua, who resorted to a vicious trick, she just turned a deaf ear and waited until there was absolutely no movement outside.

She turned her head and raised her eyelashes, quickly looked at Cao Qinmo, and then sat down with her eyes down as if nothing had happened.

Cao Qinmo stepped forward in shame with Wen Yi in his arms, biting his lips and said, "I wrongly blamed An Bin just now, I'm really sorry."

An Lingrong knew that the fun was still coming, so she just shook her head and said silently to Cao Qin: "No need, as a mother, care will lead to chaos, but the matter of Princess Wen Yi and the palace maid framing the concubine still needs to be decided by the emperor and the queen. "

Seeing that An Lingrong was away from home, she still didn't forget to mention Wen Yi's poisoning. Concubine Hua forced herself to smile and said, "I just misunderstood Concubine An. It was because I cared about the princess that I acted too hastily. Please don't take offense, Concubine An."

An Lingrong smiled and looked at her: "How could it be? Your Majesty's thoughts are clear to me."

Concubine Hua was choked by An Lingrong and had no way to refute, so she could only say: "As long as my sister understands."

The atmosphere was still a little stiff. Concubine Duan leaned on the chair and smiled softly at Xuan Ling: "I heard the beautiful music of the piano from Fuli Hall that day in the distance. It was very familiar to me. I wonder who sang it?"

The emperor was slightly startled, but the queen had already said, "She is the newly promoted concubine Hui. No wonder she sounds familiar to you from afar."

With that said, Huanmeizhuang came forward to greet Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan held Mei Zhuang's hand and looked at her carefully for a while, then said: "She looks very delicate and dignified. Congratulations to the Emperor on the acquisition of another beautiful woman."

The emperor smiled and nodded. Concubine Qi, who was sitting below, observed for a long time and felt that there was something fishy about what happened today.

She had always thought that Concubine Duan was weak, but unexpectedly she was thoughtful and calm.

But when it comes to compliments, they only say "congratulations to the emperor for winning another beautiful woman", congratulating concubine An and then congratulating concubine Hui, which is really nothing new.

How could An Lingrong let go of such a good opportunity so easily.

She raised her hand, and Baojuan and Baoping came over with the servants from Cao Qinmo's palace and knelt down. In their hands was Princess Wen Yi. The medicinal food she had used these days, as well as the medicine that had been stored for a long time and had an obvious smell. Scum.

The queen saw the dregs of the medicine and asked, "An Bin, what is this?"

An Lingrong answered obediently and explained that these things were all medicines she had given to Wen Yi to recuperate.

Unexpectedly, Cao Qinmo would doubt Princess Wen Yi's good intentions towards the princess because she was ill.

When Cao Qinmo saw An Lingrong taking out such things and the maids in his palace, he forced a smile and said nothing.

When Concubine Hua heard this, she glared at Cao Qinmo.

"Okay, it turns out that Sister An Bin loves Princess Wen Yi so much, and I didn't know that you still have a private relationship."

"Concubine Hua was joking. I was born in the misty land of the south of the Yangtze River. It's not surprising that I know some folk customs. I happened to hear that Sister Cao's Wen Yi loved to vomit milk when she was young, so she privately sent someone to the pharmacy."

The emperor also thought that Princess Wen Yi's spleen and stomach had become much better than before after An Lingrong entered the palace and met Cao Qinmo.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and asked the imperial doctors to check the prescription An Lingrong gave Wen Yi to confirm the ingredients.

The imperial doctors quickly checked the herbs that Cao Qinmo brought from the pharmacy every month against the herbs An Lingrong got.

After some discussion, the older imperial doctor raised his hands tremblingly and said glumly: "The decoction made from these medicines such as malt, orange peel, sea buckthorn, gallinaceae, and yam is indeed very helpful for the spleen and stomach of young children."

"Furthermore, the decoction presented by Concubine An is gentle and non-irritating to the child, and the sweet and sour ones are easier for people to swallow."

As soon as this statement comes out, it is obvious at a glance who is the wolf-hearted person and who bites people in the back.

The emperor's eyes were filled with guilt for An Lingrong. He looked at Concubine Hua who was looking gloomy and prepared to deal with Cao Qinmo.

But An Lingrong knew that just using Wen Yi to stimulate the emperor was not enough, she had to drag Concubine Hua into the water.

So, before the emperor could speak, she asked the imperial physician: "Dear physicians, I would like to know if a child who smells too many spices and accidentally consumes damaged food will also cause this situation?"

The imperial doctor did not expect the Huanyixiang in Concubine Hua's palace, and said without hesitation: "A small amount of short-term smell of incense and fire generally has no effect on the body. If you smell incense and fire too much, it will cause irritation to the mouth and nose, and may also affect your mind."

Everyone was suspicious and glanced at Concubine Hua subconsciously.Among the concubines in the palace, apart from Concubine Hua who loved to burn incense, there were only Concubines An Lingrong, Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi.

In addition, Wen Yi has indeed been staying at Concubine Hua's house these days. Could it be that he has heard too much...

"An Bin, what do you mean...!"

Concubine Hua couldn't sit still and slapped the table and angrily scolded An Lingrong.

An Lingrong interrupted Concubine Hua and said to the emperor: "According to the imperial physician, if Princess Wen Yi often smells the smell of incense or is in an environment with a strong smell of incense, she will be easily stimulated by the smell of incense and cause coughing and shortness of breath. , dizziness, nausea and other symptoms.”

"I think this may be related to the Huanyi incense that burns all year round in Concubine Hua's palace."

As soon as these words came out, the concubines who didn't know the inside story whispered among themselves.

Even the queen couldn't help but glance at An Lingrong and stood there waiting for the emperor's reply.

Concubine Hua looked angrily at Cao Qinmo, who was kneeling on the ground and was silent. She pulled the emperor's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine An made rude remarks and slandered me. The Huanyi incense burning in my room belongs to your Majesty." This gift can only be enjoyed by me alone!"

"Such a good spice is worth thousands of gold. Wen Yi only stayed in my room for a few nights. How could there be a problem?"

It didn’t matter that Concubine Hua didn’t say anything. When the emperor mentioned Huan Yixiang, he immediately thought that this thing was used to make Concubine Hua infertile.

If Princess Wen Yi hears too much, wouldn’t she lose the ability to have children when she grows up?
The ancients attached great importance to fertility, regardless of high or low status or status.

Therefore, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy. He glanced at Cao Qinmo who was kneeling on the ground and Concubine Hua who was pulling her sleeves, and said: "Su Peisheng!"

"The slave is here."

Su Peisheng rushed over and stood beside the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Concubine Hua is tired. Send Concubine Hua back. Wen Yi will return to Guiren Cao for the time being."

"Cao, noble Cao?"

Cao Qinmo was shocked and raised his head to look at the emperor.

The emperor, with a cold face, looked at Cao Qinmo with a half-smile, and asked: "My lord Cao, are you dissatisfied with my decision?"

Cao Qinmo, who was struck by the gaze, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said slowly: "I don't dare."

At this point, Concubine Cao returned to her position as a noblewoman.

Concubine Hua also did not dare to make trouble and hurriedly followed Su Peisheng away from the place of right and wrong.

She was deeply afraid that the emperor would not miss his old relationship and would abdicate her as a concubine because of Wen Yi's affairs.

After Concubine Hua left, the emperor became more determined to help An Lingrong ascend to the throne. He said: "Since Concubine An entered the palace, she has presented me with a windmill and waterwheel to solve the national treasury deficit. Later, she helped Concubine Hui give birth and saw through the plot of the poisonous woman. , and take care of the body and body, and understand the general body."

Slowing down, he looked at An Lingrong, who was standing there, who seemed different from the other concubines, and said with a smile: "From today onwards, I will confer Concubine An as Concubine An. When I return to the palace, I will hold a concubine ceremony. What does the Queen think? ?”

Of course the Queen wanted to say no.

In her opinion, An Lingrong had no heirs, was from a small family, and was a talent show girl who was selected one after another.

How could he take advantage of the concubines and be concubine in advance?
But now is not the time to talk about this. For the sake of face, the queen nodded against her will and said yes.

Concubine Xin was the fastest. After hearing that the emperor and empress agreed that An Lingrong had been promoted to the throne and became the fifth concubine of the dynasty, she was the first to congratulate her.

"Congratulations An Fei."

With Concubine Xin being the first to speak, Mei Zhuang, Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Duan, who were already close to An Lingrong, all opened their mouths to congratulate her.

Only the noble Fucha touched his belly and reluctantly called out "Hello, Concubine An."

An Lingrong nodded, said some flattering words, walked to the emperor and empress, bowed and thanked her.

Today, Wen Yi's affairs came to an end for the time being. An Lingrong stayed with Meizhuang and others for a while to chat, and then went to visit Concubine Duan, who was walking ahead and was not very fast.

When Concubine Duan saw An Lingrong approaching, she called out to stop, put her arm around the palace maid's shoulder, got off the sedan and said, "What a coincidence, why don't Concubine An accompany me for a walk?"

An Lingrong agreed.

An Lingrong said: "I was in such a hurry that day that I didn't see your Majesty greeting your Majesty. It's really rude. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

"It's okay."

Concubine Duan sighed and smiled slightly: "The new sister who has entered the palace is getting better and better every year, which makes me feel that time is passing so fast."

An Lingrong smiled and said: "Your Majesty is as beautiful as a flower in her prime, how can she lament the time."

She smiled: "Where is the beauty?"

As she spoke, Concubine Duan's eyes were firmly locked on An Lingrong's face.

She composed herself and Fang Wenwen said: "Concubine An is truly beautiful. No wonder the emperor likes you so much."

An Ling Rongqian said: "Your Majesty, you are making fun of me."

Concubine Duan rested on a bamboo pole leaning against the beauty by the lake.

He stopped talking for a long time and concentrated on watching the big and small red carps swimming around in the lake.

An Lingrong also picked a green willow branch and played with it in her hand. She brushed the long willow branches and teased the gossamer-like aquatic plants in the water, entangled them into interesting things.

Concubine Duan watched carefully as the little carp paraded behind the big carp. Unconsciously, her tone contained a hint of pity, and she said quietly: "Princess Wen Yi is very cute, but unfortunately she has a tragic fate."

An Lingrong knew that Concubine Duan had finally reached the point of the conversation, so she smiled and said, "Why did Concubine Duan say this? Although the princess is frail, she is also blessed with the protection of gods and Buddhas."

Concubine Duan looked a little disappointed, and suddenly showed a look of disgust.

"The gods and Buddhas in the sky only know how to enjoy the incense, so how can they have time to care about the sufferings of the world? Besides, if the devil is in trouble, I am afraid that the gods and Buddhas will not be able to protect you."

She continued: "This child, Cao Qinmo, could not have been born. She was not pregnant at the right time, and she was born prematurely and in an abnormal fetal position, which almost cost her her life. Therefore, the emperor loves this child very much."

Concubine Duan sighed and put her hand on her belly.

"The children in this palace seem to be noble, but in fact they are in more trouble than the children outside."

An Lingrong knew that Concubine Duan had been childless for many years and was particularly sensitive about the issue of heirs. She comforted her by saying, "Your Majesty has a kind heart and you should take good care of her. There will be many opportunities for you to have a prince and a princess in the future."

Concubine Duan smiled bitterly and said, "Concubine Cheng'an has good wishes, but I may not be so lucky."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "My queen is in her prime, why bother saying such unlucky words."

She looked up at the sky and said quietly: "If I get this wish, Yue Bin is willing to shorten his life by ten years."

After saying that, he turned his head sadly, his face as thin as a piece of white paper in the bright sunlight, "I'm afraid that even if I lose half my life, I still won't be able to get what I want." (End of this chapter)
