Chapter 404 Are you deceiving me?
Su Peisheng didn't dare to listen to the rest of the conversation. Anyway, when he saw the gentlemen coming out of the Yangxin Palace with their heads down, he knew that his master's ability to teach people was becoming more and more profound.
It is best for ordinary people not to touch the dragon's whiskers at this time.
As soon as he received the emperor's order, he rushed to Yongshou Palace.
"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for letting me know. Please express my gratitude to the Emperor on my behalf."
An Lingrong reached under the small table and handed an ordinary purse to Su Peisheng.
"Eunuch Su, it's very cold in December. Please bring a few more pots of wine to warm yourself up."
"I thank the Imperial Concubine for the reward."
Su Peisheng thanked him respectfully.
After watching him walk out of the gate of Yongshou Palace, An Lingrong could no longer sit still.
"Sister Nian, I just heard a piece of news. The one in Yanqing Palace won't be able to see the flowers bloom next year."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua immediately refuted it.
"I didn't hit her!"
"Lingrong! You have to believe me. Concubine Duan, who is imprisoned in Yanqing Palace, has been living a life worse than death. There is no need for me to dirty my hands."
Seeing that Concubine Hua was trying to cover up her mistake, An Lingrong decided to tell the truth.
"Sister Nian, I believe you. But this news came from the Yangxin Palace."
A hint of disbelief flashed in Concubine Hua's eyes.
"You mean the Emperor wants to..."
She tilted her head and stuck out her tongue.
An Lingrong nodded gently, "Sister Nian, it seems that he wants Concubine Duan of Yanqing Palace to have a good New Year."
"okay, I get it."
Concubine Hua nodded gloomily.
It is indeed unlucky for someone to die during the New Year, so let Qi Yuebin face the emperor's ruthlessness.
She had wondered before whether Qi Yuebin knew that there was something wrong with the pregnancy-preserving medicine he brought to her.
Later, when people were sent to intercept the killers of the Qi family, they captured a younger generation whom Qi Yuebin loved. From him, they learned that it was Qi Yuebin who took the initiative to take on the task of delivering abortion pills to her.
The ruthless Qi Yuebin fell in love with the emperor, and her undestined child was her stepping stone.
If Qi Yuebin knew that it was the emperor who wanted her life, would she be unable to close her eyes until her death?
As Concubine Hua thought about it, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What retribution!"
"Lingrong, Qi Yuebin got his comeuppance, but why do I still feel bad?"
"Sister Nian, you..."
An Lingrong felt a little regretful about this trip. She shouldn't have told her these things before the New Year.
"Lingrong, I understand everything. Thank you for coming here to tell me. Otherwise, I really would have been unable to hold back and attacked them."
Concubine Hua wiped the tears from her face and thanked him sincerely.
After she took over the Phoenix Seal, Yanqing Palace was also under supervision. Zhou Ninghai came to report several times that the guards at the place where the bitch lived were lax, and he could take the opportunity to take revenge.
But whenever she wanted to tell Songzhi to do something, Anle would come to her.
So she temporarily put aside her thoughts of revenge.
When An Lingrong heard her talk about this, she felt horrified.
Is it possible that the Emperor wanted to use Concubine Hua to get rid of Concubine Duan, so he deliberately let the guards at the gate reveal their flaws?
She took Concubine Hua's hand and gave her serious instructions.
"Sister Nian, no matter what happens in Yanqing Palace, don't be impulsive, especially don't run over to see Concubine Duan's joke."
"Your heart is hard to predict. Think more about Anle and the other people in the Nian family."
In a panic, An Lingrong used extremely strong force on her hands, causing Concubine Hua to change expression in pain. She nodded with a distorted expression.
"Fu'er said you are more cunning than me and told me to listen to you."
"Ah? Cunning?"
An Lingrong repeated it doubtfully.
This word "cunning" doesn't seem to describe a good person.
Could it be that Concubine Hua has seen through her appearance and into her heart?
"Lingrong, that's not what I meant. What I wanted to say is that you are secretive...ah, no, you are meticulous..."
An Lingrong interrupted quickly.
"Sister Nian, please don't explain. I know you have no ill intentions."
No wonder the deposed queen once mocked Concubine Hua for being shallow in front of her.
In their previous lives, neither of them had much education, so the deposed queen included herself in that as well, right?
Seeing Concubine Hua picking at her armor awkwardly, An Lingrong spoke worriedly.
"Sister Nian, my mother is a widow, and my brother has to go to the palace to study during the day. I'd like to find some human-like dogs to guard the yard. Do you have any channels to get a suitable guard dog?"
"Lingrong, you've found the right person for this matter." Concubine Hua slapped her thigh. "The Nian family secretly brought back a batch of fine-bred dogs from the northwest and raised them on a farm in Hebei. I will write a letter and ask Fu'er to select a few well-trained and loyal dogs for you."
After saying this, Concubine Hua was stunned, and she pointed at An Lingrong with a shaking finger.
"You lied to me?"
An Lingrong admitted it with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Nian, for helping my sister vent her anger."
Then she changed the subject.
"Sister Nian, I know you're doing this for my own good, but Prince Guo is a double-faced man. Even the Emperor is kept in the dark. You should try not to attack him in the future."
"The people below reported that the people in the Prince's Mansion are frantically searching for the person behind the vicious dog..."
She secretly led the people from the Prince's Mansion to Su Peisheng's private residence outside the palace, which made Prince Guo wary and he recalled the people he had sent out.
An Lingrong always remembered the ugly face of Su Peisheng, who had defected to Zhen Huan and sent people to slap her in the face every day during her last days.
Anyway, Su Peisheng is the emperor's man, and Prince Guo can't do anything to him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Concubine Hua agreed verbally, but she disagreed in her heart. How much ability could an idle prince have?
An Lingrong stared at her suspiciously and was about to persuade her a few more times when Songzhi came hurriedly to report.
"Your Highnesses, Xiao Xiazi from the Yangxin Palace has sent me news that Concubine Qi went to deliver cakes to the Emperor and accidentally angered him."
"The Emperor didn't even see me, but directly fined me three months' salary and confined me to my home for a month."
"Okay, I understand. Lady Qi, don't you realize what time it is? Our Emperor is so busy, how could he have the time to enjoy the flowers and the moon?"
Concubine Hua thought about it again and again, and gave instructions to Songzhi.
"You pass on my order. Congratulations! Concubine Qi has broken the rules. Have her copy the palace rules and reflect on her actions."
An Lingrong knew very well that the emperor liked beauty and valued women's talents, and that Concubine Qi, who had sent the cakes, must have been the target of his anger.
Who made her write the first name on the rice paper as the old widower of the Guwalja clan who had forced his three wives to death?
It was naturally her who instigated Concubine Qi to send cakes to the Emperor at this critical moment.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As a woman, An Lingrong naturally takes revenge from morning to night.
