Chapter 99. finale

"Rong Concubine An's family, blessed by God, Cheng Zhao Nei, I hope that in the future, I will cultivate virtue and self-sufficiency, be in harmony with the palace, and be diligent and respectful, and continue to extend the heir."

"The concubine inherited the queen's teaching, and she was very happy."

After listening to the queen's admonition, the canonization ceremony was completed, An Lingrong was dressed in the auspicious blessing of the Hunan concubine, with a gorgeous and dignified bun, and after the emperor and the queen finished the three bows and nine bows, the emperor looked at her and slowly smiled: "Your palace has been renovated, and I have given the word 'Weiyang' to the new one, I hope that you and Ankang can be happy for a long time." ”

"Thank you for your grace." An Lingrong bowed again, and then stood up with Cuiyin's hand.

The queen raised her hand to give the seat, with a smile on her face: "In the end, the Queen Mother is deeply blessed, Princess Ankang was weak and thin when she was born, and now that the moon is full, she is becoming more and more round and white and fat, I heard that Concubine Rong does everything herself, and she has not slept peacefully in the past month." She was full of concern, "It's important to take care of the princess, and your own body is also important, but don't be too tired." ”

"Thank you for the queen's care, the concubine knows." An Lingrong was too lazy to make a false deal with the queen, and only nodded respectfully.

"Zhang Mi resigned with me yesterday and wanted to return to his hometown, but I have already agreed." The emperor said to An Lingrong, "You have always been taken care of by Zhang Mi, he knows best how your body is, I asked him to hand over all the pulse cases to Zhou Nan, you can rest assured, although Zhou Nan is young, he is loyal and has superb medical skills, and he will definitely be able to take care of you and his health." ”

"Your Majesty." An Lingrong's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and thanked him. didn't expect Zhou Nan to be so smart, and before she could open her mouth to find the emperor to ask him, she had already thought of a rhetoric to let the emperor speak, which saved her a lot of effort.

On the one hand, it was the canonization ceremony, and on the other hand, it was the relocation of the palace, and An Lingrong was busy for a whole day.

In the evening, after seeing off the congratulatory people, she stood in front of the Chengxi Palace, looked up at the three big characters on the door plaque, and was silent for a long time, until Dill came out to call her, she came back to her senses: "What's wrong?" ”

"Niangniang, Aunt Zhao has come to ask you to resign." Dill said.

An Ling nodded clearly: "Let her in." Fu asked again, "Have all the people on the princess's side been settled?" ”

"It's arranged, it's all the people personally selected by Aunt Fenruo." Dill nodded and said, "Aunt Fenruo was originally an old man next to the emperor, and she thought that she would go back after Niangniang gave birth, but she didn't expect to stay and take care of the princess directly." ”

An Lingrong glanced at the direction of the Embroidered Spring Pavilion from afar, and suppressed all the doubts in his heart. She knew that Fenruo would not have any disagreement with her, and as for why, she didn't want to investigate too much at the moment, and she would know one day.

The interior of the Chengxi Hall is newly decorated, and it is more gorgeous and exquisite than when Li Concubine was there before.

An Lingrong sat on the couch, looked at Zhao Xuan who was standing in front of him with his hands down, waved his hand to let the people serving beside him retreat, and slowly took a sip of tea before asking: "Auntie has done her best in the past three months, and this palace has seen it in her eyes, but this palace has a doubt in her heart, and I hope that my aunt will answer it for this palace." ”

"Mother, please speak." Zhao Xuan lowered her head and said.

"Auntie, who is she?" An Lingrong gently put the teacup back on the table, but his eyes suddenly sharpened.

found that Zhao Xuan was wrong during her confinement, An Lingrong had seen Zhao Xuan chattering to Ankang more than once, and rubbing Ankang's hands and feet, through her hands, Ankang's body visibly got better, if there is no weirdness in this, An Lingrong will never believe it.

Also, after giving birth, Zhao Xuan told her several methods that she had never heard of, such as "If the child is in good health, it is best for the mother to feed it", "Don't lie down all day during the confinement period, it's good to walk more", "The damage during childbirth should be repaired quickly", and so on, and so on. At first, An Lingrong was skeptical, but after doing it tentatively, he found that it was really beneficial.

This is not the same person as Aunt Zhao whom An Lingrong knows, she only knows business, not medicine, how can she know these side ways?

Looking at Zhao Xuan's slightly changing face, the suspicion in An Lingrong's heart became thicker and thicker.

"Niangniang, the true identity of the concubine can't be said for the time being, when the time comes, the concubine will definitely tell Niangniang." Zhao Xuan knelt on her knees and raised her finger at An Lingrong, "But the concubine swears that she will never do anything unfavorable to her mother, and she will never assassinate the An family. ”

The sky was clear, and suddenly a shocking thunder exploded, which startled An Lingrong.

An Lingrong looked out the window, then at Zhao Xuan, and was dumbfounded for a long time. Although they believe in the gods, few people will take words like "thunder and thunder in the sky" seriously, but Zhao Xuan's voice thundered as soon as he landed, could it be a coincidence?

An Lingrong shook his head, looked at Zhao Xuan's extremely serious eyes, and couldn't help but believe three points: "This palace will believe you for the time being." Now there is no one in charge of the overall situation in the family, and when my father entered the palace, he said with the palace that you are a usable person, and the palace has seen it during this time, and it is indeed good, so that all things in the family will be left to you to take care of it, and the palace will write to the father separately, and choose an auspicious day to raise you as a flat wife. ”

"The concubine is grateful for the grace of the mother." Zhao Xuan didn't see much joy, kowtowed to An Lingrong, got up and sat down.

"You are running the business of the Treasure Pavilion very well, and when the shopkeeper Xun regularly sends things in, he often talks about you." An Lingrong's expression softened, and he carefully instructed, "Father is now in charge of the salt business, and the money obtained from business must be clearly recorded one by one, and the taxes must be paid on time and according to the amount, do more charitable things, and do more charity." In business, you don't care how much money you make, just spend it enough, don't let people grab the handle because of this. ”

"Yes, the concubine understands." Zhao Xuan nodded in response.

An Lingrong explained the matter in detail before she summoned Cuiyin and asked her to personally send Zhao Xuan out of the palace.

The autumn thunder caused an uproar inside and outside the palace, the world did not know, and the strange celestial phenomena would always be regarded as a warning from heaven.

The ministers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate headed by Zhen Yuandao listed in detail the crimes of Nian Qianyao, and joined forces with the Criminal Department to play 92 paragraphs of Nian Qianyao's major crimes, including five crimes of great rebellion, nine crimes of deception, sixteen crimes of trespassing, thirteen crimes of rebellion, six crimes of arbitrariness, eighteen crimes of greed, 15 crimes of erosion, six crimes of taboo, four crimes of cruelty, and so on.

The court quarreled for more than a month, and finally in the middle of winter, the emperor made a decision.

"I remember the merits of Qinghai, I can't bear to be punished with capital punishment, I give the year of Qianyao to commit suicide, the young man asks for beheading, and all the sons are more than fifteen years old." The emperor wrote down the last word, listening to Nian Shilan's crying and begging outside the hall, he was very irritable, and after throwing the wolf in his hand aside, he called Su Peisheng, "You go and tell her, it's useless to ask to see her three hundred times, I won't see her." ”

Su Peisheng was dumbfounded for a moment, and then raised his head to intercede for Nian Shilan: "Your Majesty, Nian promised to break his head this time, otherwise, you should meet her." ”

"Your errand is getting better and better now, and you dare to reject my will." The emperor narrowed his eyes and scolded angrily, but his heart couldn't help but soften, and he frowned and sighed lightly, "Find someone to heal her injuries and let her go back to Yikun Palace to recuperate." ”

Zhen Huan served by the side, silently bowing her head to sort out the twists and turns on the case, as if she hadn't heard the emperor's words at all.

Su Peisheng withdrew from the order, only to see Nian Shilan kneeling on the green bricks and kowtowing incessantly, crying hoarsely: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter how you punish your concubines, just leave your brother with a life, just leave a dog and horse by your side to serve you loyally, Your Majesty...... Concubine, please, Your Majestyβ€”"

"Little master, it's cold, let's go back quickly, the emperor said that he can't see you, why do you have to beg so hard?" Su Peisheng had received a lot of favors from Nian Shilan, and thinking of her benefits in the past, he couldn't bear to see her so miserable, so he persuaded her bitterly.

Nian Shilan couldn't listen to it, she had no choice but to drag her sick body to cry and beg the emperor, what else could she do?

The pain in her forehead couldn't withstand the heartache, Nian Shilan repeated her plea over and over again, but she never waited for the emperor to come out of the Heart Cultivation Hall to look at her, a sweet smell surged up from her throat, she suddenly vomited out a mouthful of black blood, and passed out.

The last image I saw when I closed my eyes was the mirror-like sky with snowflakes slowly falling, and the four corners of the palace were square, forming a huge cage.

It's snowing......

"I heard that Nian promised to be very sick, and after returning from the Heart Cultivation Hall that day, he vomited blood and couldn't even get out of bed." Hello in the morning, Xin Chang is talking about Nian Shilanlai, "It's really pitiful to look at." Although he said this, the smile on his face was very happy.

Nian Shilan's end was miserable, everyone in the harem was happy to see it, in the past, she was so arrogant, she didn't take anyone in her eyes, but now that she is down, naturally no one will rush to pull her, everyone is eager to step on it, but it is just in the way of the emperor, it is not good to put it into action.

An Lingrong looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Cao Qinmo's face.

Cao Qinmo had a smile on his face that had been oppressed for many years and finally raised his eyebrows, and followed Xinchang's words, pointing at Sang and scolding Huaidi, and the smile deepened.

"You don't like her, do you?" Zhen Huan, who was sitting behind An Lingrong, suddenly spoke softly.

An Lingrong glanced back at Zhen Huan, couldn't help but smile at each other, she took a shallow sip of tea, and replied in a low voice: "She thought that if Nian Shilan fell, she would be able to become rampant, which is really ridiculous." No matter how smart a person is, if he is too proud and complacent, he will eventually end up in a fiasco. ”

Zhen Huan raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "That's right." ”

"What are you two whispering?" The queen suddenly spoke, ordered An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, and hid the knife in her smile, "Say it and let the sisters listen to it, don't hide it." ”

An Lingrong's eyes flashed, and he replied with a smile: "If you say it, I'm afraid that you will be beaten by the sisters." She glanced at Zhen Huan and continued, "The concubine is talking to Sister Guan, wait and go to Yikun Palace to see the new year, but she is also an old man who has served the emperor for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, and the concubine really doesn't want to see her end so difficult." She paused and made a sad look, "When the concubine first entered the palace, Nian promised to have a favor for the concubine, although there was some unpleasantness in the back, but you can't be ungrateful, otherwise there is no difference between it and those animals." ”

When the words landed, Cao Qinmo's face became extremely ugly, and An Lingrong saw it in his eyes and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Everyone's faces also changed, only the queen magnanimously made a mercy of the Virgin: "Concubine Rong is right, although the year promised to do a lot of evil, but the emperor has punished her, she also suffered from bitter fruits, and suffered retribution. ”

This is a high-sounding statement, although the truth is untenable, but the queen knows very well who likes to hear this the most.

"The queen said it well." The emperor's voice came from the door, he walked in with a calm face, and after entering the door, he only glanced at An Lingrong and Zhen Huan gently, and then walked to the top and sat down.

Everyone got up to say goodbye, their hearts were uneasy, and they didn't know how much the emperor had heard, Cao Qinmo's face was even more pale, and his body trembled slightly.

The queen looked at the emperor with concern: "The emperor has just come down to the early court, is there anything to worry about?" ”

"I have something to discuss with the queen, it just so happens that you are all here, you might as well listen to it." The emperor didn't ask the end about what Nian had promised, but instead talked about today's intentions, "Early this morning, Zhun Geer sent people into the court to ask for relatives, and asked for their Yingge Khan to marry the princess of the Qing Dynasty as a princess, so as to reassure the people of the border." ”

It's not a big deal. The queen said lightly: "It is also common for the princess of the Celestial Empire to marry and marry, as long as you choose a suitable girl from the clan and marry Princess Heshuo." ”

"The embarrassment is that they are asking to marry a princess this time, not a woman from the clan." The emperor said slowly.

Cao Qinmo's nerves that had just relaxed tightened again, but Xinchang, who also had a princess, looked indifferent.

"Zhun Geer originally belonged to the Qing Dynasty, but it was a frontier tribe, and the Qing Dynasty's willingness to marry the princess was already giving them great face, and they even had to give it to the princess, and the princess who had to be a relative was really getting an inch." Shen Meizhuang immediately spoke.

"The concubine remembered that only the first emperor married his own princess Lan Qi to Zhungar." Concubine Jing recalled.

The emperor nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this precedent that it is difficult for me to refuse. ”

Hearing the meaning of the emperor's words, Cao Qinmo was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although Wen Yi is your own child, she is still young, how can she kiss!" ”
