The palace seemed to calm down, and Tongyu received another dragon's head;

There is nothing in this world that is unclear.

After the empress's funeral, the palace returned to peace, the empress's funeral causing the people of the imperial harem to feel a bit sad. Xuan Ye didn't treat Rong'er like he used to, changing cards at most twice a week, and it was indeed harder for Rong'er to see Xuan Ye again.

In May, Chang Zai Tong was diagnosed as pregnant again, and their pregnancy became the new focus of the palace. After all, in the imperial harem full of sorrow, this was a joyous event that was hard to come by.

In the back hall of Yonghe Palace, the two were talking.

"I'm so angry, Tongyu is actually pregnant with Long Si!" Lee An-zhu said angrily.

"For some people, luck is good. Like concubines, children are born one after another." Ling Xiu-Er smiled lightly and said, "Some people can't even have a child no matter how hard they try. For example, Empress Xiao Zhao. She has been in the palace for more than ten years, but she has never gotten pregnant."

"Wei'er, are you talking about me?" Li An's eyebrows twitched as he asked.

"Aiyo, Consort, you're overthinking things. Don't think too much into it. I'm just thinking that the difference in a person's life is really big." Ling Jiao'er hurriedly comforted him.

Lee An-zhu said angrily, "If I was often blessed by the emperor like Rong'er, I wouldn't have no children."

Ling Wei'er thought to herself, this Chang Zai Tong also doesn't have much, he already has two children, but she still agreed on the surface, "Isn't that so? But, as a concubine, please tell me this, don't let the emperor hear it, the empress is dead, the emperor is really annoyed with the concubine's jealousy after all!" Ling Jiao softly said.

"That's for sure. In this palace, I only believe in you." An Zhu nodded.

Ling Jiao'er smiled, "I am definitely worthy of your trust. Oh right, you and Imperial Concubine Yi seem to be very good, right?"

"Un, it's not bad, I often go to her place, she really likes the empress dowager. You don't even know how good the empress dowager treats her, she really takes good care of her every day, not to mention giving her rewards, during the winter, the empress dowager took care of the warm brick bed inside the palace, and even sent many hot furnaces, so she won't suffer any harm. Now that the empress dowager is dead, she's the most respected one in the palace, and the empress dowager has her to take care of the empress dowager." Dong Zhu sighed softly.

"You have the foresight!" Ling Jiao praised, "In this palace, there is still someone who relies more on."

In fact, I already knew this before I entered the palace. Before, when I first entered the palace, I heard that a concubine was being pampered, I had the intention of staying with her, and then I found out that she had no family background. When the emperor pampered her, she would have power; when one day the emperor got tired of her and didn't pamper her, she was nothing. That's why I was able to climb up the Imperial Concubine Yi. Not only is I the emperor's concubine, I'm also his cousin! "

"That's right!" Ling Jiao'er agreed, "Imperial Concubine Yi seems to trust you a lot."

"She's still young, what do you know? She can be trusted by anyone who treats her well, and I'm not any threat to her. The most important thing is, our family and hers are both part of the Eight Banners, how can we not help each other out!" An Zhu replied disapprovingly. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Oh right, did you stay at your concubine's place well?"

"I'm really worried about you, Master Xie An. You're a good person, and you're a relatively easy-going person." Ling Xiu-er replied with a smile.

After all, she's been a palace maid for many years. In fact, she's been rather pitiful. I heard that she had some sort of hidden disease. Lee Anzhu sat on the seat of honor and said with a sympathetic expression.

"Hidden diseases?" Ling Xiu-Er's eyes flashed with a light smile, "What did you say, Consort?" She's in good health, where's the disease coming from? "

"What?" Is she not sick? " Lee Anson suddenly stood up and asked in surprise.

"She's not sick, ah. I've been by her side every day, and she trusts me very much. No matter how I look at it, she doesn't have any. She's never invited an imperial physician or used any flowers, so do you still not trust me?" Ling Jiao'er innocently said.

"Wei'er, you can't speak carelessly about this. You have to be sure." Jingzhu softly said, "If a concubine really does not have any hidden ailments, then it would be the crime of deceiving the monarch!" An Zhu thought for a moment. "There's no reason. Which person in the palace doesn't want to be favored by the emperor? If she doesn't have a hidden ailment, how could she lie to the emperor?"

"Honestly speaking, I'm also very puzzled. I've once tried to beat around the bush. I always felt that this concubine had something on her mind." Ling Jiao'er thoughtfully said.

"Oh? Is that true? " Lee An-zhu said, "This matter can be big or small... Do you think your concubine knows about this? She's always been on good terms with Toshiba. "

"Honestly speaking, chenqie really doesn't know …" Ling Jiao'er's face was filled with innocence.

"Wei'er, how about this. Go and ask about this in detail. If there's anyone who's deceiving the Emperor about this, we might even be able to gain some merits." Lee Anson rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

"Merits?" Ling Jiao'er said in surprise.

"The sin of bullying the monarch! It's not a small matter! " An Zhu said mysteriously.

Ling Xiu-Er lowered her head and chuckled, then raised her head with a face full of worry, "But, I just promised. If my concubines and concubines knew that I was going to look for them, what would I do …" This concubine is still so favored by the emperor, I don't dare … "In the end, if I were to speak of slander again, I will definitely die a horrible death …"

"What are you afraid of? You just go and check. When the time comes, I won't sell you out. I won't appear, so we'll let others deal with them!" A strange smile hung on Lee Anzhu's face.

"Are you saying that Jean …" Just as she was about to say something, Lee Anson interrupted her, "You don't need to worry about this matter. You can only go and confirm that this concubine really has no hidden ailment. It's best to find out the reason. I'll handle the rest."

"Fine, I'll listen to you. You actually told me this. I'll definitely do my best." Ling Xiu-er nodded heavily as she replied.

In Yi Kun Palace, Jingzhi was writing a letter to the emperor while Rong'er was coaxing him. The two of them suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if something was about to happen. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

He asked, "Rong'er, did the Emperor of the Sacrificial Sun, the filial queen of filial piety, go there a few days ago?"

Rong'er lightly shook his head, "Right now, even Empress Xiao Zhao has stopped bringing the coffin to Gonghua City. The Emperor has only just arrived there, and is afraid that he will be affected by the scene. According to the emperor, he has only sent officials to pay their respects."

"Sigh!" It's been four years since the empress left, and I do miss it. " Sergei sighed.

Rong'er smiled bitterly, "Me too. I often think about it and feel sad."

"Now that the Crown Prince has started to learn, it's going to be hard to meet him." Sergei sighed.

Rong'er nodded. "I heard from the emperor that next year, the Hall of Tribute will be transformed into the crown prince's palace, allowing the crown prince and the crown prince to live separately."

"He's a child of the imperial family after all, so wasn't he the same when he was young …" Kiki said softly.

"That's right!" Rong'er looked at the figure in her arms. One day, that figure would also leave her side …
