An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 499: Zhen Huan Gives Birth

"Sister Yipin, you came to see me this time not just to give me a gift, but also to visit me, right?"

After sending all the servants away, Concubine Duan looked at An Lingrong who was doing the same thing as her, and smiled faintly, "Now it's just you and me, sister, you can have nothing to worry about, just speak freely!"

"Haha, I have nothing to hide in my heart. Even if there are so many people present, why should I worry?"

When An Lingrong heard Concubine Duan say this, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

Then, An Lingrong also said bluntly: "The Queen was injured for some reason and now needs to rest. The Emperor ordered Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui to take care of the affairs of the harem together. Naturally, I am convinced! In addition, the reason why I came to visit the Queen this time is to tell the Queen that as long as I can do it, you can just give orders without any doubts!"

This time, An Lingrong came to visit Concubine Duan with gifts. Her purpose was very simple. One was to show goodwill to the other party, and the other was to surrender!

Because both parties are on good terms with Zhen Huan, even if they have different goals in mind, this at least means there is a possibility that they can become allies.

However, An Lingrong knew very well that Concubine Duan’s character could be described as “not aggressive with the world”.

Her biggest enemy was originally Nian Shilan, but now she has been banished to the cold palace and will not be able to turn things around for a while.

According to Concubine Duan's character, she would not do anything to take advantage of others' misfortune.

As for the Queen, Concubine Duan would not have any intention of resisting.

But An Lingrong knew the Queen's "true face" very well, and she knew even more clearly that once no one could suppress the Queen, the Queen would intensify her efforts to purge anyone in the harem who did not obey her!

And those concubines who are favored or have children are the queen's first targets!

Unfortunately, An Lingrong could not tell anyone else about these things except keeping them deep in her heart.

Then, the only thing she could do was to take advantage of the time when the Queen was "inconvenient" to come out and make plans as much as possible so that she would be able to fight back when the Queen took action.

In An Lingrong's previous plan, Concubine Duan was a very powerful helper!

Although she was also a concubine and had no children of her own, Concubine Duan was the emperor's first concubine and had helped the emperor do many things.

These achievements, coupled with the initial affection, made Concubine Duan have a certain status in the emperor's heart.

Compared with them, Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing are naturally inferior in many ways.

Although Concubine Qi was not very smart, she was lucky enough to give birth to a third prince who was very tall.

As for Concubine Jing, she was far inferior to these two in terms of qualifications and the emperor's affection.

Concubine Qi was loyal to the Queen and it was impossible to win her over.

Then all we can do is try our best to win Concubine Duan!

An Lingrong still remembered that in her previous life, Concubine Duan was a powerful ally of Zhen Huan.

But now it is inconvenient for Zhen Huan to go out, and it is much more difficult for her to successfully persuade Concubine Duan by herself!

"Haha, I appreciate your kindness, Sister Yipin."

When Concubine Duan heard this, her eyes flickered.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Although An Lingrong was not such a person, with Concubine Duan's experience and vision, she could see that An Lingrong came here "for something".

Because of this, at this time, when Concubine Duan heard An Lingrong say such words to her, she naturally became suspicious.

Sure enough, just as An Lingrong had initially thought, Concubine Duan was still wary of her.

This is not surprising. After all, if Concubine Duan could trust others so easily, there would be no way she could survive in the palace until now.

"I have already told Your Majesty what I meant. I will not bother you any further. I will take my leave now!"

An Lingrong knew very well that pestering was useless and might even make the other party dislike her.

So after saying that much, An Lingrong immediately said goodbye.

"Have a safe journey, sister!"

Concubine Duan was already confused, so she naturally would not try to persuade An Lingrong to stay, but just nodded.

……

"My lady, it seems that you did not have a pleasant conversation with Concubine Duan?"

As soon as they left Yanqing Palace, Fang Ruo noticed that An Lingrong was a little absent-minded.

Combining her previous understanding of An Lingrong, Fang Ruo immediately concluded that the "private meeting" between An Lingrong and Concubine Duan did not seem to be satisfactory.

At least, for An Lingrong, this conversation was not enough to make her smile.

"It's nothing. Nothing in the world is perfect. I just let nature take its course."

An Lingrong shook her head slowly.

After all, they were outside now, and she didn't want to mention her conversation with Concubine Duan in public.

Fang Ruo understood what she meant, and whispered to An Lingrong: "After all, Concubine Duan is an old lady in the palace, and she has her own rules and regulations. These are not things that I can comment on, young lady!"

Fang Ruo originally knew An Lingrong's intention. She wanted to take this opportunity to show her goodwill to Concubine Duan, and also to sow some "good karma" for herself.

Unfortunately, An Lingrong did not get what she wanted, so Fang Ruo just gave her some advice.

She was worried that An Lirong would be depressed because of such things. If he developed any ill will, it would be unnecessary to cause conflicts in the future.

"Am I - such a petty person?"

An Lingrong didn't expect Fang Ruo to say such words to her, and then she couldn't help but laugh.

"My young master, I am just worried about you!"

Fang Ruo thought of this at the time, so she said whatever she thought without thinking too much about it.

Now facing An Lingrong's question, she realized that she had "overstepped the line" and hurriedly apologized to An Lingrong.

"Okay, okay, how could I not know what my aunt meant?"

An Lingrong was a little surprised by Fang Ruo's "reminder" at first, and then she just wanted to play a joke on her.

They chatted and laughed all the way, and then walked back to Yonghe Palace.

Originally, according to An Lingrong's calculations, Zhen Huan's due date was approaching.

Unexpectedly, that very evening, Liu Zhu suddenly came to report that Zhen Huan had suffered from severe abdominal pain, and after calling the imperial physician, she was told that she was about to give birth!

"Is it so fast?"

Upon hearing this, An Lingrong stood up from her chair at once, and then ordered the sedan chair to hurry to Suiyuxuan.

In addition to An Lingrong, this news was also sent to all the palaces.

Zhen Huan is about to give birth, and the emperor and concubines from all palaces rush there first.

The Queen Mother walked slowly and evidently had no intention of going over immediately.

As for the queen, she is still "sick" at the moment, so how can she be anxious?

Therefore, it was not until more than an hour later that An Lingrong saw the Queen Mother slowly approaching.

As for the Queen, she did not completely ignore him, but she came even slower than the Queen Mother, and looked sick.

When the emperor saw this, he frowned immediately and asked the queen to return the same way she came.

As time passed, Zhen Huan's screams in the delivery room became softer and softer, but the baby was still not born, and the mood of those waiting outside suddenly became heavy.
