Chapter 89 The increasingly tense atmosphere
Early the next morning, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong boarded a carriage bound for Penglai Island.
"Lingrong, this time I'm the one who implicated you and made you suffer with me."
Due to special reasons, Zhen Huan is unable to explain the whole thing to An Lingrong now, but An Lingrong is willing to accompany her to Penglai Island. Such affection still makes Zhen Huan very moved.
"Sister Wan, what you said is so polite. You guys have been helping me with many things before. I don't have any other skills, so I can only do small things. Besides, I came to accompany you this time because of Concubine Hua's intention. You are pregnant now, and she is worried."
An Lingrong did not hide the fact that part of the reason she offered to accompany her this time was because of Nian Shilan. She felt that since they were sisters, Zhen Huan should know about everything they did for each other.
"Empress Hua, it's really good."
"Lingrong, have you ever thought that if you accompany me this time and something unexpected happens, it might also affect your future?"
Zhen Huan didn't know what would happen next. If everything went smoothly, that would be great, but what if...
"Sister Wan, since I've chosen to be with you, I won't think about anything else. In the next period of time, let's take good care of our bodies. You're about to give birth, so there must be no accidents."
An Lingrong comforted Zhen Huan. She knew Zhen Huan's worries, but she knew even more clearly that she would never regret the choice she made this time.
"In that case, let's enjoy the rest of our time together."
No matter what, the situation is now like this, and Zhen Huan knows that it is useless to think too much.
Although on the surface Zhen Huan was sent to Penglai Island by the Emperor, how could the Emperor really let her suffer any injustice?
This carriage looks like an ordinary vehicle from the outside, but it has everything inside, and everything is arranged very appropriately.
Soon the two of them drove all the way to Penglai Island, which had already been arranged by Su Peisheng.
"Your Highness, I have already arranged everything here. You and An Changzai can move in immediately. If you need anything in the future, I will have someone deliver it to you in time."
"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for your trouble."
"Your Majesty, what you said makes me feel uneasy. In the past, Your Majesty has treated me very well. Now is the time for me to repay you."
"Your Majesty, it's already quite late. I have to go back and report. Your Majesty, please rest early."
After bidding farewell to Su Peisheng, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong slowly walked inside, while Huanbi and Liuzhu had already gone ahead to clean the room.
"elder sister……"
An Lingrong looked at the arrangements here and the implicit meaning of Eunuch Su's words just now. It didn't seem like the Emperor was angry with Zhen Huan at all.
Zhen Huan knew that some things could not be hidden from An Lingrong, so she chose to say a few things: "Lingrong, this matter involves too many things. I can't explain it to you in detail right now, but don't worry, as long as I am safe for one day, I will protect you."
"Sister, we will be fine."
An Lingrong patted Zhen Huan's hand, signaling her not to worry.
Unlike the tranquility here in Penglai Island, the Queen still feels a little uneasy even though Zhen Huan has left. She always feels that some things seem to be out of her control.
"Empress, after this incident, Concubine Hua no longer has helpers like Concubine Wan, so it will be much easier for us to do anything."
Guaerjia didn't expect that Zhen Huan would be taken away by her so easily. At this moment, she simply couldn't suppress her inner pride.
The queen just glanced at her indifferently. This idiot, did she really think things were so simple?
"It's too early to say whether Zhen Huan has lost power, but Concubine Hua is definitely not as easy to deal with as you think. I still want to remind you that it's better to be careful in everything you do."
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Emperor's fondness for Concubine Qi is obvious to all. Even if Concubine Wan is very capable, during her absence, we just need to hold on to the Emperor's heart. If she is lucky enough to come back one day, it will be too late."
Sun Da Ying, who was standing by, also comforted the queen in the same way.
"That's right, Your Majesty, don't worry. After all, you are the master of the Central Palace. No matter how powerful Concubine Hua is, she can never surpass you."
Concubine Qi and Sun Da Ying looked at each other and together forgave the Queen's heart.
I don't know whether to say they are too naive or too stupid. I don't know where they came to the conclusion that Hua Fei's power is just that limited.
"Forget it. There's no point in saying more now. You should be more cautious from now on. Lady Qi, the Emperor still cares about you. You must seize the opportunity. I will make the decision for you when I find the right opportunity. The same goes for Sun, you must also grasp the Emperor's heart."
The queen waved her hands and rubbed the corners of her eyes. She didn't know why, but she always felt a little tired these days and many things were not going well.
The protagonist they were discussing just now, Concubine Hua, was sitting with Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing.
But unlike the low pressure at the Queen's place, the atmosphere here is somewhat relaxed.
"Empress Hua, I don't know if Huan'er is missing anything there. Now she's about to give birth, and I don't know if she can come back in time before the birth."
Just now, Nian Shilan had said something simple to them to comfort them, but after all, Zhen Huan's health was getting worse and worse, so Shen Meizhuang was still a little worried.
"Sister Shen, don't worry. Sister Wan has made all the arrangements. Now we have Lingrong to help us, so we don't have to worry too much."
After Su Peisheng came back, Nian Shilan quietly sent someone to ask privately, and the answer he got was almost the same as what he expected.
"We should pay more attention to the Queen now. She will definitely make some moves during this period. We must take precautions before anything happens."
Concubine Jing is not too worried about Zhen Huan now. The focus now is here.
"Yes, I thought of this as well."
Nian Shilan agreed with what Concubine Jing said.
She had asked Zhou Ninghai to confirm with her family again to ensure that her brother would not have any contact with Prince Dun in the future, otherwise all their previous efforts would be in vain.
What made her feel relieved was that after Nian Gengyao handed over the military power, he relaxed completely and accompanied his wife for outings every day, which made Nian Shilan feel much more at ease.
I don’t know if it was everyone’s illusion, but there seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air for the next period of time. Everyone was very cautious in front of the emperor, fearing that any mistake would incur his wrath.
