Chapter 113 An Lingrong 54
"Why did the emperor come here in person?" Lingrong asked with some confusion, naturally holding hands with Yinzhen.
The emperor paused, then smiled and said, "Today is your birthday, so naturally I have to come specially to pick you up to show my sincerity."
[Oh, he must be feeling guilty.] An Lingrong was convinced that something must have happened to make this guy feel like he owed her something.
After the three of them left the palace, looking at the sedan chair specially prepared for Lin's mother, An Lingrong became more convinced that he was making up for it.
When they arrived at the place, they saw An Ke, whom they hadn't seen for two years, waiting there with Luobotou. As soon as he saw them, he knelt down and saluted.
When the emperor called out, An Ke just lowered his head obediently, not daring to look around. However, Amber, who was being held by his hand, stood there openly, her clear eyes on her pretty face blinking twice, without showing any fear.
The emperor has few children. The third prince is old and dull, not to mention the fourth prince. The fifth prince is raised outside and is rarely seen. It is rare for him to see such a smart and lively child. He immediately liked him more and waved to him.
Amber let go of her brother's hand, ran to the emperor, bowed obediently, took the emperor's dragon claw without fear, and even showed him a brilliant toothless smile.
"This child is not shy." Yinzhen held his left hand, and then took Lingrong with him, and they walked in like a family of four.
Everyone in the room sat down in turn. It could be seen that Lin Xiu and An Ke were still a little reserved, especially when facing the emperor. They were afraid of being disrespectful, and even the emperor's casual words about in-laws made them nervous.
The emperor couldn't help feeling a little tired, but for Lingrong's sake, he still tried to be as amicable as possible and finished the meal with the few people.
After seeing them off, the emperor looked at Lingrong, whose eyes were red, and felt uneasy again: "Why are you so sad after seeing your mother?"
"I'm not sad, just a little reluctant and very happy." Lingrong said, and bowed to the emperor again.
"What is this for?"
The emperor hurriedly supported her, but heard Lingrong's voice choking with sobs: "Your Majesty has bestowed such great grace upon me. I really have no way to repay you."
These words made Yinzhen forget his previous discomfort. He immediately remembered that he had ordered people to investigate An Bihuai, only to learn that his family had been targeted for no reason for the past two years. This was especially true this time. An Bihuai had achieved some success in promoting agriculture and sericulture while in office last year, and should have been promoted. But now...
"There's no need for this between you and me." The emperor took his handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Now that you're going to be a mother, even your tears are increasing."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed the emperor." Lingrong felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't avoid him. Instead, she raised her face and smiled at him heartily.
"You cry and laugh at the same time. I can't do anything with you."
After Lingrong left the Yangxin Palace, the emperor's reward to Lin Xiu also left the Forbidden City.
This reward was also very interesting. In addition to some common gold, silver and jewelry, there were also three land deeds, all of which were the best locations in the capital.
"Have all the things been delivered?" The emperor asked casually while reviewing a useless letter of greeting.
Su Peisheng handed over the tea that was just eight-tenths hot, and replied respectfully, "It was delivered early this morning. I heard from the eunuch who delivered the reward that the madam and the two An brothers received the order with great fear and trepidation."
"Hmph, maybe the younger one?" The emperor said, a smile on his face. Thinking of that clever and handsome child, he was very fond of him.
"I have no idea about that." Su Peisheng also answered with a smile.
"It's just that her older brother is too honest." The emperor said this in a subtle way. He even felt that this child's personality was somewhat similar to that of his third prince. Oh, but at least he passed the examination and became a scholar.
I felt even more dissatisfied with my son.
"Your Majesty is right. Concubine Yi and her family are indeed very respectful to Your Majesty." Su Peisheng agreed with the emperor.
The emperor picked up the next letter of greeting, opened it and saw that it was from Nian Gengyao.
After just a glance, the emperor threw it aside: "It is the duty of the concubine's mother's family to observe the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects."
"Your Majesty is right."
Glancing at the phone next to him, Yinzhen waved his hand unhappily, indicating that he could leave.
"etc…"
Before Su Peisheng had even walked halfway, the emperor's voice rang out again.
"What are your Majesty's orders?"
"Go get Third Prince's homework."
“…Hmm.” This time, Eunuch Su was really confused and could only mourn silently for the Third Prince in his heart. He guessed that he would be scolded again today.
Our Third Prince was lucky. Before the angry emperor could summon him and beat him up, he heard that an epidemic had broken out in the capital, and he had no time to scold his son anymore.
For several days, the emperor was extremely anxious. Not only was the epidemic not under control, it even spread to the palace.
The servants in Concubine Hua's palace were the first to get into trouble, followed by the lowest-ranking eunuchs in various places. For a time, everyone in the palace was in danger.
The emperor took a break from his busy schedule and didn't forget to give Lingrong instructions. During this special period, no outsiders were allowed in or out of the palace. All meals were prepared directly in the small kitchen, and the daily vegetables, fish and meat were directly allocated from the emperor's allotment.
Fearing that she would be worried, he specially placed Lin Xiu and others next to the Zhen Mansion and asked the Zhen family to take good care of them.
The queen was also specifically instructed to take good care of several pregnant concubines.
Ling Rong was naturally not afraid of herself and her child getting sick, but she was also concerned about the palace servants. She distributed the medicinal herbs she had received and strictly enforced daily hygiene. She also ordered Feng Sanman and Xiao Jinzi to guard the door tightly to prevent anything from entering.
She didn't believe that the Queen and Concubine Hua would let go of such a good opportunity. Although she was not afraid, it would be troublesome if she accidentally hurt others because of such a thing.
Wuxue and Sanbao also seemed to have sensed something, and they no longer flew around these days, but just stayed on the tree in Chengqian Palace to guard her every day.
Sure enough, even though several people brought the young eunuchs to patrol and investigate carefully every day, there were still several times when something almost got into Chengqian Palace.
The most dangerous time was when Feng Sanman found a piece of clothing that was similar in color to the soil under the roots of a tree outside Lingrong's room.
If it weren't for his sharp eyesight, which would have noticed at a glance that the color of the soil was a little off, the servants coming and going would have probably been infected with the disease.
Later, they found out that it was a young eunuch from their palace who brought him in. He was beaten half to death but he still couldn't tell who ordered it. But Lingrong looked at the closed palace gate and the Jingren Palace not far away, and she already had a guess in her mind.
………
The epidemic came with great force, but ended faster than in the previous life.
Although Zhen Huan's instructions were no longer there in this life, Wen Shichu still came up with a cure. Concubine Hua did not need to be restored to favor, and although Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang sent people to find Liu Bin, they were not as anxious as in their previous life.
Jiang Shen, who had become much more honest, did not dare to steal Doctor Wen's prescription on his own initiative. This time, with the prescription, he took direct responsibility and stabilized the epidemic in less than half a month.
On the second day after the epidemic stabilized, Zhen Huan received the news:
Liu Bin, who had been on the run for more than half a year, was caught.
