Chapter 181 Huanbi 7
Huanbi knew that today was the day the Queen Mother would die, and she didn't want anything to happen to the baby in her belly.
After saying goodbye to Yurao, Huanbi left Shen Beile's mansion.
Ruyi and Ruyuan helped Huanbi into the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly towards Prince Guo's mansion.
At Yu Rao's wedding today, Zhen Huan's attitude towards Huan Bi returned to what it was before. It seemed that the reply note had worked.
The note had "One" written on it and was placed where the note was intercepted.
Xiao Lianzi and several young eunuchs watched as a little maid quietly took the note and stuffed it into a walnut.
Half a day later, the walnut appeared in the hands of Lao Feng at the carriage and horse department.
One day later, Lao Feng drove a carriage to take Prince Guo to the palace. After Prince Guo entered the palace, Lao Feng secretly gave the walnut to a guard while going to the toilet.
Huanbi did not alert the enemy. She knew that this was a clear clue and she should make good use of it.
Twenty-seven bells rang that night, and Huanbi was awakened by the sound.
Huanbi stroked her belly and said to the fetus in her belly: My child, your mother has been waiting for you to come.
The death of the Empress Dowager was a great funeral, and the entire capital was in mourning.
Huanbi still has to go to the palace to kneel down and pay respect today. After putting on mourning clothes, Huanbi and her entourage enter the palace.
Meng Jingxian was still locked in the room, and Huanbi told others that she was weak and sick.
A royal physician was specially invited from the palace to the palace. The physician who took Meng Jingxian's pulse said that she was indeed weak and needed to be well cared for.
Meng Jingxian seemed to have discovered something. She stayed in the yard silently and did not make a fuss about coming out.
After entering the palace, less than a cup of tea had passed since Huanbi knelt down when Zhen Huan asked Cui Jinxi to help Huanbi up.
Huanbi readily stood up and followed Zhen Huan back to Yongshou Palace.
Huanbi was playing alone in the side hall of Yongshou Palace, while Zhen Huan returned to kneel in front of the coffin.
After three days of crying, Zhen Huan's face turned pale, but she had to do it.
Huanbi received special permission from the emperor to kneel for only a short while every day before returning to Yongshou Palace.
After the empress dowager was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the emperor observed mourning for 27 days and then began to favor his concubines in the harem.
After the Queen Mother's funeral, An Lingrong's father was imprisoned for corruption.
Huanbi thought about it and decided to protect An Lingrong.
It was not because of guilt or a change of heart, but because with An Lingrong around, Zhen Huan could focus on the struggles in the harem instead of staring at Prince Guo or the palace when she had nothing to do.
When the Queen asked for a title for An Lingrong, An Lingrong went straight to the Emperor, who gave her the title "Rou" on the spot.
Neither the Queen nor Zhen Huan achieved their goals. An Lingrong did not become the laughing stock of Concubine Li, but became Concubine Rou.
When the six palaces were conferred titles, An Lingrong also participated in the ceremony.
An Lingrong did not listen to the Queen and refused to attend the enthronement ceremony because of the dead fetus in her belly.
An Lingrong disobeyed the Queen twice. Although the Queen was angry, she endured it because she thought that she would use An Lingrong's belly to overthrow Zhen Huan.
When An Lingrong saw that the Queen had endured it, she felt a sense of satisfaction rising in her heart.
Huanbi lived a carefree life in the palace. Whenever Prince Guo was at home, he would often come to Changqing Pavilion to accompany Huanbi.
The two felt the fetus' first movement and imagined together how to educate their child in the future.
Prince Guo seems to be ready to be a father, but Huanbi feels cold in her heart. If her elder sister says a word, Prince Guo will still die for her.
The present days are just an illusion. Only when the elder sister dies and Prince Guo dies, can Huanbi live a peaceful life.
