Chapter 52 Leng Gong Xiang Wan
"Lingrong, do you have to go to that kind of place?"

Meizhuang's expression seemed to be puzzled. She didn't understand why An Lingrong, who was already the head of the first palace, had to meet someone who had been relegated to the cold palace by the emperor for a long time and was about to die.

"Sister Mei, you will know when I come back."

An Lingrong smiled. She felt Mei Zhuang's kindness to her, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

Then, she glanced at Xinguiren again and said, "Baojuan, Baoping, go and bring the food from the kitchen to pass the time for Xinguiren and Sister Mei."

After speaking, An Lingrong left.

It didn't take long for her to enter a dilapidated place, inhabited by many concubines who had committed crimes but were not dead yet and were still living.

"An Bin? Are you here?"

The clothes Li promised were in tatters, and her hair had not been taken care of for a long time, making her look very sloppy.

Standing next to her were the eunuchs who were watching with eagerness, and Su Peisheng, who was about to give Li a death in order to return to the emperor.

Seeing that Concubine An was really here, Su Peisheng glanced at Jin Xi behind her, put on a smile and said, "Why did Concubine An come to such a filthy place? Don't get in trouble."

"No problem, could you please Jin Xi to send Eunuch Su and the others out first? I have something I want to talk to Li."

"This……"

Su Peisheng looked troubled, fearing that Li would go crazy and hurt the noble Concubine An.

You must know that on the day Hui Bin gave birth, the emperor later discovered the scars on An Bin's face, but he became very angry and vented his anger on their servants.

If he hadn't known how to watch people's words and offered to ask people from the Imperial Hospital to find some good things to give to Empress An to replenish her health, I'm afraid the people on duty that day would also have been implicated.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Su, Li is a measured person. She knows what to do and what not to do."

An Lingrong stroked her smooth and slender fingernails, then changed the subject lightly and said: "Giving death and intending to kill the emperor's concubine before death are two completely different things. I want Li to agree but I don't want to be involved. It’s my mother’s house from the previous dynasty.”

Hearing what An Lingrong said, Su Peisheng glanced at Li, who was not noisy and made no fuss, agreed, bent his belt and led the people out.

Jin Xi followed closely behind, guarding the door for his wife to prevent outsiders from entering.

An Lingrong lowered her head slightly, maintaining a proud posture, and her eyes reflected Li's promised look.

"If you have anything to do with me alone, please tell me, Li."

Her well-groomed face is tight under the high bun on her temples, and her eyebrows are as dark as distant mountains, which makes her pair of phoenix eyes even more powerful and commanding, without anger or authority.

Li's breath shortened slightly as she agreed. She saw the shadow of Concubine Hua in An Lingrong's body, and she quickly straightened her body and stood upright.

Li promised to pay close attention to An Lingrong, her eyes concealing her hatred for Concubine Hua, as hidden as a blade.

An Lingrong didn't notice it at all and just stared at Li to agree, her expression gradually becoming impatient.

Finally, Li agreed and said word by word: "Ms. An, please save me. Now in this harem, you are the only one who can persuade the emperor to be merciful and let my concubines go."

Hearing this, An Lingrong sighed and said, "Li agrees. It's not that I don't want to save you, but that Concubine Hua has put all the crimes on you. It's impossible for the emperor to agree to my plea."

"But, Concubine Hui has not left. I hope Concubine An will be kind and help me."

An Lingrong said: "Help you? How can I help you, unless you say this personally in front of the Emperor and Concubine Hua? Have you forgotten who confessed these crimes in Cunju Hall that day? of?"

After a pause, she asked again: "Is it possible that there is someone else behind the scenes? Are you just a scapegoat to take the blame for others?" Seeing An Lingrong's questions being so sharp, she was deeply afraid of injuring her mother's family. Li promised to be so frightened that her face was filled with tears and she didn't dare to speak anymore, so she could only kowtow "bang bang".

An Lingrong stared at Li who kept kowtowing and agreed, and said helplessly: "Do you want to make your own choice, or do you want me to help you and make your departure less painful?"

Li agreed, knowing that begging for mercy was hopeless, and asking for help would only lead to a more humiliating situation, and there was no way to tell that the person who pushed Hui into the trap was actually Zhou Ninghai.

So she felt relieved and said: "Please help me, my queen."

"You chose the right path."

Seeing her like this, An Lingrong thought of her future plans, her heart became cold, and she took out a small pill from her sleeve.

Throwing the small pill on the straw mat in front of Li promised, he said coldly: "Eating this pill will make you painless and sensationless. Even if you choose poisonous wine later, your body will not suffer any pain."

Li, who was afraid of the pain, was filled with unspeakable gratitude and emotion. She nodded quickly, raised her head slightly, and then raised it again, forcing back the tears in her eyes.

She shakily picked up the small pills on the ground and stuffed them into her mouth.

After taking the medicine, Li Guiren could no longer feel the thin and soft skirt sticking to her legs, nor could she feel the hot heat coming from the floor tiles to her heart.

She only felt numb from her knees to her toes, and later drank the poisonous wine given by the emperor.

Until the end, Li agreed but still didn't have the courage to talk about what Concubine Hua had done in front of An Lingrong.

So she also missed an opportunity and was not qualified to get the fake death pill in An Lingrong's other sleeve to avoid the emperor's death.

In this life, the ending that Li promised was still not much better than the plot that An Lingrong understood, and her ending was still sad.

After An Lingrong left, the rarely bustling cold palace became deserted again.

The fact that Li agreed to be sentenced to death by the emperor caused great shock and impact in the seemingly peaceful harem, and aroused the curiosity of countless people who usually had nothing to do.

Except for a few people, no one cared about her existence anymore, and the disappearance of the concubines in the harem who were favored in the past and named Li's concubine did not even cause a stir.

As An Lingrong walked on the road, she understood more deeply that the emperor's harem was a world full of temptation, charm and prosperity.

It was something she had never been exposed to before. Although it was also filled with swords and swords and the scent of poison and powder, she could no longer stop her ambition to climb up.

After returning to the palace and sitting down, Jin Xi quickly prepared brocade cushions and spread them on the seat, and burned a handful of spices sent by foreign countries in the silver-inlaid copper stove in the front pavilion.

I saw the pale and non-existent light smoke wisps disappearing into the air, and not long after, the fragrance lingered in the Yongshou Palace.

Meizhuang, who finally looked forward to the arrival of Lingrong, nodded slightly and said, "This fragrance is very good."

An Lingrong looked at Jin Xi who was busy and wondered: "Why are you burning incense? Sister Mei's child is still here. Smelling too much spices is always bad."

Jin Xi replied: "Your Majesty went to the cold palace. According to the custom, she has to burn incense to remove the darkness."

An Lingrong:......

Well, sometimes you still have to listen to the superstitions of the ancients.

Xingui Ren and Mei Zhuang saw An Lingrong's speechless face. They knew that Lingrong didn't believe this, but they couldn't speak, so they laughed one after another.
