"As for fake pregnancy, I'm afraid the emperor knew about it from the beginning, so no matter what Nian Shilan says, this matter is a sure crime of bullying the king." An Lingrong looked up at the dark sky, "Sister Guan's child has suffered an unwarranted disaster. ”

"Are you saying that Nian Shilan's fake pregnancy and miscarriage today were arranged by the emperor?" The more Shen Meizhuang listened, the more frightened she became, she thought that she knew about this matter, but she didn't expect that there were so many things.

An Lingrong tugged at the corners of his mouth: "There is musk in Huanyi incense, Nian Shilan has used incense for many years, how can she be pregnant?" It's all just her wish. ”

There are too many things behind this sentence, Shen Meizhuang was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, she slapped the table case angrily: "It would be better if it was a day earlier, Nian Shilan would not have taken care of herself, and there would be no pain of losing her son today." ”

Didn't lose a child?

Not necessarily.

An Lingrong closed her eyes and quickly went through every detail of Zhen Huan's pregnancy in her mind, she knew in her heart that things were by no means as simple as what her eyes saw, but she had no clue how the queen moved.

Nian Shilan's affairs must be impossible to hide, not to mention that the emperor doesn't want to hide it, and soon Nian Qianyao got the news, and asked An to come to the palace one after another.

On this day, An Lingrong came to the Yangxin Palace to invite An, and was talking about Aunt Zhao's entry into the palace: "The concubine has just come out of the queen's palace, and she has come to thank the emperor." ”

"Seeing that you are going to be eight months, according to the rules, your mother's family should send someone into the palace to take care of your daily life." The emperor raised his hand and touched An Lingrong's belly, and said softly, "Your mother died of illness, and your father never remarried, so it is not proper to let a concubine serve you, but I heard that your father intends to raise the Zhao family as a flat wife, so it doesn't hurt." ”

An Lingrong said with a smile: "Aunt Zhao has a good way of doing business, and she is a capable director. She suddenly talked about Zhen Huan again, "Sister Guan's health has been much better these days, has the emperor gone to take a look?" ”

The emperor lowered the corners of his mouth slightly: "She is sentimental, I can't persuade her, and both of them are sad together, let's go for a while." ”

An Lingrong saw that the emperor was displeased, so he didn't say any more, but said another thing: "Today's concubine came to ask for a favor for Sister Cao." Seeing that the emperor's expression had not changed, he continued, "Princess Wenyi is innocent and cute, Sister Cao has poured her life's hard work into her, it is not easy for her to promise her subordinates to make a living, and she also asked the emperor to forgive her for concealing her crime of not reporting it." ”

The emperor looked up at An Lingrong: "I didn't think that you would intercede for her." ”

An Lingrong smiled bitterly: "When the concubine first entered the palace, there were many difficulties in the year of the promise, and that winter, the concubine was punished to serve water under the corridor. She raised her eyes to look at the emperor, "This is the concubine's selfish words, and I hope the emperor will not blame." ”

The emperor nodded: "Okay, I will consider it carefully." ”

At this time, Su Peisheng came in with a stack of folds: "Your Majesty, the excerpt from the northwest has arrived, please take a look at it." ”

"Nian Qianyao is diligent, and it has only been five days since the Nian promised to do so, and his excerpts to ask for peace are almost full of my books." The emperor flipped it over and threw it aside, "That's all there is to it, it's just to ask if the New Year's promise is okay, and I don't even bother to look at it." ”

An Lingrong's eyes flashed slightly: "General Nian and Nian promised a deep brother and sister relationship, the emperor should take a look." ”

The emperor pondered for a long time, then picked it up again and looked at it, his eyes quickly swept over the words, and suddenly stopped in one place, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "Xi Ti Chaoqian?" ”

"What?" An Lingrong was eating tea and was stunned when he heard the words.

The emperor slapped the fold on the table: "Nian Qianyao wrote, Chao Qian, originally meant to praise Zhen for being diligent in government affairs, but he mistakenly wrote it as Xi Ti Chao Qian." He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "Nian Qianyao is definitely not a careless person, and he doesn't want to attribute the four words to me. The fallacy here is not unintentional. Then he called Su Peisheng, "Send it back to the northwest as it is, and send it back to Nian Qianyao, there must be no mistake." ”

When it was over, the emperor lowered his eyes and issued an order: "Pass the decree to dismiss Nian Qianyao's confidant, Gansu Governor Hu Qiheng, and transfer the acting Sichuan Governor Natai back to Beijing." ”

Su Peisheng didn't know why, but he also knew that the matter was very important, so he bowed his head and answered, and stepped forward to take the excerpt: "The slave will do it immediately." ”

An Lingrong sat quietly and drank tea, without saying a word, but she knew that Nian Qianyao would not last long.

Within a few days, Nian Qianyao's excerpt of the defense was quickly whipped into the palace, and the emperor took a look at it and summoned Zhang Tingyu and everyone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Yangxin Palace to discuss matters.

"This is the excerpt of Nian Qianyao's defense, you see." The emperor no longer concealed his desire to get rid of Nian Qianyao, and handed the fold over to everyone to read.

"Nian Qianyao's loyalty to the emperor for many years can be expressed, but the ministers have a lot of hearts, and Nian Qianyao is so detailed, I am afraid that there is also the intention of showing off his merits and deterring the emperor." Zhang Tingyu said after reading it, his words were sharp and to the point.

Zhen Yuandao was holding back his anger because Zhen Huan was mistaken by Nian Shilan, and immediately said: "Nian Qianyao actually boasted about his merits in Haikou at this time, which is obvious, he took risks in order to clear his life, regardless of the suspicion of high merit. ”

"I think so, too." The emperor paced back and forth, "What he means, I'm afraid that if I leave him, I won't be able to stabilize the country." ”

Zhang Tingyu said again: "Nian Qianyao has always been proud of his achievements, and the emperor has tolerated it many times, but he has intensified. ”

"Recently, the minister has discovered that there is also a correspondence between Prince Dun and Nian Qianyao, and the relationship between the two is not indiscriminate." Zhen Yuandao suddenly said, "Nian Qianyao didn't report it, which attracted Prince Dun to take him as a confidant and repeatedly talked about the use of soldiers. ”

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor stopped, stared at him, shook the beads in his hand, and frowned for a long time, "It seems that I have wronged him if I intend to rebel." After a pause, he said, "Nian Qianyao has made me extremely cold, I have tolerated it for a long time, and I don't need to endure it anymore." Last year, he was demoted to the post of governor of Hangzhou, and his position was concurrently held by Yue Zhongqi. So let Zhang Tingyu draw up the will.

When the news reached the palace, everyone knew that the Nian family had reached the end of the road, and the queen's interrogation of the palace people of Yikun Palace became more and more ruthless, and soon, Zhou Ninghai couldn't stand the punishment and confessed all of them.

"Your Majesty, this is Zhou Ninghai's confession, it said above, there is the cassava powder mentioned by Cao Guiren, the death of Bi Promise, accepting bribes to sponsor officials, and even instructing Yu to poison the medicine of Guan Concubine, pushing Hui Concubine into the water, murdering Hui Concubine's miscarriage, designing Xia Guiren's love poison but hurting Rong Guiren, and has given the things used by the palace people who have the epidemic to Hui Concubine's personal palace maid, causing Hui Concubine to be infected with the epidemic, as well as murdering other concubines, etc., please also ask the emperor to take a look." The queen read a bunch of papers, and asked people to hand the paper to the emperor.

The emperor lowered his eyes, looked at the stack of confessions in front of him, picked it up and looked at it: "Has Zhou Ninghai vomited all the things that should be vomited?" ”

The head of the Shen Criminal Division replied: "Your Majesty, some of the palace people in Yikun Palace confessed independently, and some of them were punished, and they didn't know much, only Zhou Ninghai knew more, he fainted twice after being tortured, he said that he only knew this, and he didn't know anything else. ”

"There's something else." The emperor was furious when he heard this, "She didn't create enough evil? Take it down! ”

The queen also put aside the paper in her hand and said slowly: "The crime of the New Year's promise is really too much to write, and the concubine asks the emperor to show it, how to deal with the New Year's promise?" ”

The emperor pondered for a long time before he calmed down and said word by word: "Yikun Palace Nian, who has served the palace for a long time, has a loss of virtue and a lot of sin, from now on, move to the cold palace to introspect." ”

The queen was stunned suddenly, and subconsciously glanced back at An Lingrong, who was sitting at the bottom, and then reacted, hurriedly retracted her gaze and said: "The emperor's benevolent heart treats the harem leniently, and I expect that the year promise will definitely be able to reform the past, and the concubine promised to thank the emperor for the year." ”

Moving to the cold palace is different from entering the cold palace, the former still enjoys an independent palace room in the cold palace, and you can also bring the maidservant to go with you, and even the copy must be sent to her without any difference. In the final analysis, the emperor still has old feelings for Nian Shilan.

An Lingrong was not too surprised, but the queen's look at her made her suspicious.

The emperor is open to Nian Shilan, why does the queen subconsciously look at her? This matter shouldn't have been involved in her, why did it ......

"Your Majesty, Cao Guiren was also very close to Nian Promise." Concubine Qi suddenly spoke.

The emperor was in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he raised his head and glared at Concubine Qi.

On the other side, Cao Qinmo had already gotten up and knelt on the ground to plead guilty, but her head injury was not complete, and she looked particularly miserable: "The concubine is willing to receive all punishments, but I beg the emperor not to blame the princess." ”

"Your Majesty, Cao Guiren is also forced to do so." Concubine Jing pleaded.

An Lingrong also spoke: "Please also ask the emperor to suspend the punishment of Cao Guiren for the sake of Princess Wenyi's young age." ”

The emperor looked at Cao Qinmo's tear-stained face, then looked at An Lingrong, and was silent for a long time before relenting: "The noble Cao Qinmo exposed Nian's crimes for meritorious service, and was canonized as a concubine and titled Xiang, and was canonized in early July. ”

Cao Qinmo was stunned for a long time before he realized that this was not an auditory hallucination, and there were still tears on his face, but he was so happy that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were shining: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

An Lingrong looked at Cao Qinmo's ecstatic expression that he could barely contain, and sneered in his heart.

Now that you have been freed from sin, and you have been made a concubine as you wish, then there is no need to leave room for you in the future. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes slowly sank.

On June 15, Zhao was ordered to enter the palace.

"The concubine Zhao has seen the little lord Rong, and the little lord is blessed with Jin'an." Zhao Xuan was dressed plainly, not dressed too much, but clean and neat, different from Aunt Xiao's sleekness, her face revealed the usual shrewdness of a businessman, but she looked extremely friendly, and smiled before speaking.

"Get up." An Lingrong waved his hand to give a seat, "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, is the family okay?" ”

"Everything is fine, don't worry about it, little master." Zhao Xuan only sat on half of the stool's buttocks, and replied respectfully, "Before leaving home, the adult explained that the concubine should take care of the little master, and seeing that the little master was about to be full-term, the adult remembered you very much, and specially let the concubine bring in a lot of things." She pointed to a few large boxes in the yard, "These are all given by adults to the little master and the child in the little master's belly, and I hope the little master will not dislike it." ”

An Lingrong looked Zhao Xuan up and down, and always felt that it was a little different from the Aunt Zhao in her memory. In my memory, Aunt Zhao is shrewd and calculating, likes money the most, and holds the financial power of the family, even if she has a penny, she must ask clearly about the use of it in order to feel at ease, although she is a beautiful woman, but it is inevitable that there will be bitter and mean times, but now when she looks at her, she is gentle and polite, and humble.

It's like a different person.

An Lingrong suddenly stopped his thoughts, laughing at himself for being so careful, and when he came back from rebirth, he couldn't see that everyone thought it was like this. Then he raised a smile: "Aunt Zhao settle down first, Cuiyin, and take Aunt Zhao to her room." ”

Cuiyin leaned over.

Looking at the back of Zhao Xuan leaving, An Lingrong shook his head and shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, and called Dill: "Come with me to Broken Yuxuan." ”

During this time, whenever she has the strength, An Lingrong has to go to Broken Yuxuan to visit Zhen Huan, but she is sad because of the loss of her son, and she always doesn't want to see people, and she may not be able to meet once if she goes three or five times, which is a coincidence today.

"Sister." An Lingrong lifted the curtain and walked in, and saw Zhen Huan sitting at the head of the bed with a belly pocket, she couldn't help sighing and stepped forward, "You haven't come out of the moon yet, and your body is still weak, so sitting like this hurts your back." She stretched out her hand to take away the belly pocket in Zhen Huan's hand, "Let's lie down and rest for a while." ”

Zhen Huan clutched her belly pocket, and tears fell down: "Even if my heart hurts now, I feel that I should bear it." I regret it every day, why can't I bend my knees to her and beg for mercy when I was in Concubine Hua's palace that day, why should I be so tough and refuse to admit defeat, if I am willing to beg her, I may be able to keep my child. ”

Seeing her so sad, An Lingrong couldn't help but feel sad. She never thought that Zhen Huan would be so sad after she lost her child, thinking about the sins she did in her previous life, she really deserved to die.

Shilan is about to get a boxed lunch offline, I'm really reluctant (ps: guess Zhao Xuan's hidden identity)
