After dinner, An Lingrong left An Lingdan alone to speak in the side hall.

"I haven't seen you for the past few days, what have you done?" An Lingrong peeled the walnuts slowly, and asked An Lingdan in a soft tone.

An Lingdan was holding a stone bowl on the side to grind walnuts, hearing this, his movements froze slightly for a moment, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't go anywhere, I heard Yurao say that the plum blossoms in the plum garden are good-looking, and I want to draw a picture of cold plums to give to my eldest sister as a birthday gift, so I go to observe every day, and Broken Yuxuan is closer, and occasionally disturbs Concubine Hui." ”

"Have you ever met anyone?" An Lingrong lowered his eyes to concentrate on the movements in his hand and asked casually.

"Occasionally, the emperor will come to visit Concubine Hui, and then there is, it is Imperial Doctor Wen......" An Lingdan's voice was slightly astringent, she poured the broken walnuts in the stone bowl into a small bowl, and then grabbed a handful of new walnuts and put them in the stone bowl, and continued to crush them, "Imperial Doctor Wen will go to Broken Yuxuan every other day to check the pulse of Concubine Hui, we often see him in and out of Broken Jade Xuan, a few days ago we were drinking tea at Concubine Hui's place, I suddenly came to Kwai Shui, I was unwell, he gave me two injections to get better, so I thanked him twice, I didn't want to be bumped into by Concubine Jing. ”

An Lingrong raised his head and looked at An Lingdan, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to see her through: "Oh? Is it? ”

An Lingdan's body froze, his heart was empty, he hurriedly got up and walked to An Lingrong and knelt down, and said in shame: "Lingdan knows his mistakes, he shouldn't talk about his children's feelings in private, please punish the eldest sister." ”

"Dan'er, in today's world, women are in a difficult situation, and reputation is the most important." An Lingrong did not rush to let An Lingdan get up, but let out a long sigh and said to her, "Private lifelong such a thing, if both parties have affection, it is a good story, if King Xiang has a dream goddess ruthless, then the world will only sigh a pity, but if the woman chases but is rejected, it is a joke, if your affection for Wen Shichu is broken, do you want to marry?" ”

An Lingdan's face turned red and asked stumblingly, "How does the eldest sister know that I was rejected by Imperial Doctor Wen?" ”

"He already has a sweetheart, so naturally he won't accept you." An Lingrong stretched out his hand to pull An Lingdan up, and persuaded gently, "Dan'er, don't say whether he is interested in you, just say that the family background of the two of you can't talk about the right family, since ancient times, women have no good ending when they marry low, what's more, there is someone in his heart, that person is the white moonlight and cinnabar mole that he asked for but couldn't get, if you really marry him, you may be alone in the empty house in the future, and you will lose a lifetime of happiness for this, why should you bother?" ”

"Eldest sister, am I really not as good as that person?" An Lingdan twisted his handkerchief, and tears fell down in large drops, "I don't care about my family background, I can also give up my reputation and honor, I am willing to be the one behind him and give him everything I can give, isn't that okay?" ”

An Lingrong wiped her tears and sighed helplessly: "Dan'er, this life is too long, it's too bitter to guard a man who doesn't look back at you." ”

"Eldest sister, I am willing......" An Lingdan cried and threw herself into An Lingrong's arms, "Eldest sister, I have never seen a man as gentle as him, why didn't I meet him earlier?" Maybe he's going to be the one he likes......"

An Lingrong listened quietly to An Lingdan's cry, and her barren heart roared through a gust of cold wind, which made her heart hurt for a while.

After the opening of the first month, the emperor proposed to set up a military aircraft department, and the previous dynasty quarreled endlessly, because he was busy dealing with government affairs, and in a blink of an eye, the emperor had not entered the harem for two months.

When he got up early that day, An Lingrong somehow always felt panicked, and summoned Cardamom to ask: "What happened in the palace recently?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Cardamom thought about it for a while and didn't feel anything wrong, but she still said it carefully, "Except for Mrs. Shen entering the palace to take care of Concubine Hui in the first month, it is the Qi nobles who always say that they are not feeling well during this time, and they dislike the master of the Baohua Hall for not being able to preach the scriptures, so they just begged the queen to invite a girl from outside, and she just entered the palace this morning." ”

"Sister-in-law......" An Lingrong murmured in a low voice, her heart beat like thunder, her temples jumped suddenly, and her tense nerves tingled for a while, but she couldn't figure it out.

Dill came in at this time and said, "Niangniang, the queen has summoned the six palaces, saying that there is something important to discuss with everyone. She looked solemn, leaned over to An Lingrong's side and whispered, "The queen sent Huichun to invite Niangniang in person, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go today." ”

An Lingrong chuckled suddenly in her heart, and her intuition told her that something big must happen today, and she whispered to Cardamom: "Let people check immediately, since this period of time, who the queen has seen and what she has done, Jingren Palace must be carefully checked inside and out." She paused, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and the ghost envoy added another sentence unexpectedly, "Also, go and find out what the noble Qi has done recently." ”

Cardamom did not doubt that he was there, and took the order to go.

An Lingrong took a deep breath and said to Dill: "Change clothes." Then he instructed Xiao Yinzi, "Go to Broken Yuxuan and tell Mrs. Shen, there may be something big in the palace today, no matter what, you can't alarm Sister Huifei, she is about to give birth, and she can't be stimulated." ”

Xiao Yinzi went immediately.

"Wait a minute, let Zi Su and Bai Zhi accompany me to Jingren Palace, you stay in Weiyang Palace, take care of Honghao Lingxi and Dan'er, don't have any accidents." An Lingrong whispered to Dill and said, "The two of them have been following you for a while, so you can just see how capable they are." ”

Zi Su and Bai Zhi are newly promoted second-class palace maids, and Dill nodded when she heard this: "Zi Su is calm, Bai Zhi is clever, and Niang Niang will also take them to meet the big scene today." ”

After grinding for almost half an hour, An Lingrong was ready, and Cardamom also hurried back at that time: "Niangniang, there is no movement in Jingren Palace, but Fei Wen of Yongshou Palace has met with Jian Qiu in the Internal Affairs Mansion many times, and the two often talk secretly, and their posture is very close. ”

"Vivien?" An Lingrong thought about it for a while, and finally found this person in his memory, "It's the one who recklessly opened the window to freeze my sister on the day my sister just gave birth, and was punished by the emperor for slapping her mouth?" ”

"Exactly." Cardamom nodded, and then continued, "As for the noble Qi, she has made a lot of small moves, in addition to summoning the sister-in-law of Ganlu Temple today, she also asked a maid from her mansion to enter the palace to serve a while ago, and that maid also has a background, and she served in the Zhen Mansion earlier. ”

The sister-in-law of Ganlu Temple, the old man of Zhen Mansion, it is already very clear who today's situation is aimed at.

An Lingrong glanced at Huichun who was standing in the courtyard, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and asked Cardamom, "When you passed by Yongshou Palace just now, did your sister already leave?" ”

"Yes, Jiang Fuhai personally went to invite Concubine Xi, and when the slave came back, she only had time to look at the back of the sedan chair." Cardamom nodded back.

"This is a long time ago, and I will not be allowed to discuss it with my sister." An Lingrong let out a long sigh of relief, and said to Cardamom in a low voice, "Wait a minute, after I go to Jingren Palace, you stay outside, always pay attention, and adapt to the situation, if necessary, I will ask Bai Zhi to send you a message." ”

"Yes." Cardamom looked cold and nodded solemnly.

After arranging all this, An Lingrong walked out slowly with Zisu's hand, and smiled at Huichun: "Miss Lao Huichun has been waiting for a long time, the palace is lazy, and she never dresses up in the morning, so don't blame it if it's delayed for so long." ”

"Slaves don't dare." Hui Chunpi smiled and said a few sentences, "Hurry up, I'm afraid that everyone has already arrived." ”

An Lingrong held the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly: "Okay." ”

The sedan chair traveled all the way to Jingren Palace, and sure enough, everyone had already arrived, and they couldn't even wait for An Lingrong to arrive, the show had already begun, and only then did they enter the side hall, and they heard the sonorous voice of the Qi nobles: "The concubine wants to accuse Concubine Xi of fornication, defile the harem, and the crime cannot be punished!" ”

An Lingrong breathed suddenly, her memory was torn, and countless blurred pictures were about to come out but dissipated in an instant, this scene seemed familiar but she couldn't remember it, she pinched Shisu's hand hard, and slowly came back to her senses in her high-pitched "Rong Guifei Niangniang arrived".

Exhaling lightly, An Lingrong raised his feet and walked in slowly: "The palace rules are strict, and the nobles of Qi can't be honest and innocent." An Lingrong took the concubine's shelf today, and as soon as she entered the venue, everyone got up and greeted her, "Get up." She turned around and sat down, and looked at Qi Guiren coldly, "Everyone in the palace knows that you and Concubine Xi are not in harmony, and it is okay to have a small fight on weekdays, how can you talk nonsense about fornication?" ”

The queen had a cold face and glanced at the nobles of Qi.

Qi Guiren immediately replied to An Lingrong with an oath: "If the concubine has half a lie, she will let the five thunders hit the top and never be born!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sneer from the corner, and Ning Guiren said mockingly: "I thought it was a poisonous oath, who can know about life and death?" Swearing by such a false thing shows that the noble Qi is not sincere. ”

Seeing that the scene was cold, Qi Guigui was ruthless, raised his finger to his ear, and said viciously: "The concubine swears by the Guerjia clan, if there is half a lie, the whole clan will end up without a fall!" ”

This poisonous oath is so ruthless that even Ning Guiren has no way to refute it, it can be seen that Qi Guiren came prepared today, full of confidence, and for a while, even An Lingrong became nervous.

The queen looked around, deliberately stayed on Zhen Huan's face for a while, saw her calm expression, and didn't panic for a while, secretly sighed at the depth of her city, and turned to look at Qi Guiren: "Since you said that Concubine Xi had an affair, who is the adulterer?" ”

"Taiyi Wen Shichu." A determined smile appeared on the face of the noble Qi, and he said word by word.

Hearing this name, An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief, and the remaining half of his breath was naturally to guard against the queen and the nobles of Qi.

Qi Guiren would rather cut off her own way and accuse Zhen Huan of fornication, either she really caught the adulterer and the evidence is conclusive, or she is completely prepared and can sit on the charge of fornication, the first situation has been ruled out, and the second situation depends on their respective abilities.

"Wen Shichu is Concubine Xi's confidant, and he has to take the pulse every day, so it's no wonder if he says that he has been in love for a long time." Kang Changzai immediately followed up on the words of the noble Qi, "What's more, I heard that when Concubine Xi first entered the palace, she was sick for a long time, and it was diagnosed by Imperial Doctor Wen at that time. ”

"Kang Chang is in the ears of the good spirit, and he even knows this." Qi Guiren smiled triumphantly, as if he had already won the game, "It's just that Kang Chang doesn't know that Wen Shichu's relationship with Concubine Xi is far more than that." She raised her chin slightly and said loudly, "Before Concubine Xi entered the palace, Wen Shichu often went in and out of Zhen's mansion, and she has known her since childhood, and has the love of childhood sweethearts. ”

"It seems that what the noble Qi said is not completely unreasonable." Concubine Jin said slowly, raising her eyes and quietly glancing at everyone.

Zhen Huan sat on the seat, motionless like a mountain, An Lingrong slowly drank tea, stayed out of the matter, Concubine Duan looked at everyone carefully, Concubine Jing suppressed her anger, Xin Guiren comforted Concubine Jing, Shun Guiren and Ning Guiren talked small words close to their ears, Kang Chang was eager to try, and Yu Guiren and Sun promised to be silent as always.

For a time, the needle drop in the side hall could be heard.

Here it should be seen how widely connected Rong'er is in the palace, and Gua 6 is ready to go offline
