Chapter 595 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 52

"Be good, drink the medicine."

An Lingrong obediently opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine. The bitter taste spread on the tip of her tongue, making her frown slightly. Seeing this, Yinzhen wiped the medicine stains from the corners of her mouth with his hand, and said softly: "Good medicine tastes bitter, Rong'er, be good."

As he said this, he scooped another spoonful and fed it to her mouth.

After An Lingrong finished drinking the medicine, Yinzhen took her into his arms, patted her back gently, and felt her soft body, as if all the troubles in the world had disappeared.

"I feel a little tired today." He whispered, burying his head in An Lingrong's neck, taking a deep breath, greedily absorbing the fragrance from her body.

An Lingrong leaned softly in his arms, stroking his back with her slender fingers.

He sighed and said, "Nian Gengyao is proud of his achievements, so I have to be on guard. As for Zhen Yuandao..."

He paused, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "He deserves it!"

An Lingrong sensed the harshness in Yinzhen's tone and her heart trembled. She gently stroked his back and said softly, "Your Majesty, I know you are upset, but please take your health into consideration. Since the matter of Lord Zhen has been settled, there is no need to worry about it anymore."

Yinzhen rubbed her neck and said in a muffled voice: "Rong'er, you are always so considerate. I am so lucky to have you." He raised his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"But there are some people I will never let go easily."

An Lingrong heard the hidden meaning in his words and felt uneasy, but she didn't dare to ask more.

She gently undressed him, helped him lie down, tucked in the quilt for him, and said softly, "It's late, Your Majesty, please go to bed early."

Yinzhen took her hand, pulled her to his side, let her rest her head on his arm, and said softly: "Rong'er, talk to me."

An Lingrong leaned in his arms obediently, listening to him talk about the troubles in the court, and comforted him softly from time to time. She knew that although Yinzhen appeared cold and ruthless on the surface, he also had a fragile side deep in his heart, and she was his only harbor.

"I want Zhen Yuandao to die quietly." Yinzhen's voice was cold, like the whisper of a devil from hell.

An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Yinzhen really wanted to kill her.

Zhen Huan's resilience far exceeded Yinzhen's expectations. After being demoted to Concubine Hua, he thought she would not survive for more than three months. However, she not only survived tenaciously, but even joined forces with Concubine Hua, which surprised him and made him a little uneasy.

This made him start to doubt whether he had underestimated this woman's abilities and means.

……

Somehow the news of the emperor's pregnancy spread, and rumors immediately spread inside and outside the palace.

At first, it was just the private whispers of the palace maids and eunuchs, then it became a topic of conversation after dinner, and finally it evolved into various absurd versions.

The whispers seemed to linger in Yinzhen's ears, buzzing like mosquitoes and flies, disturbing him.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and An Lingrong's soft body was leaning against him, sleeping soundly. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" An Lingrong opened her eyes drowsily and asked softly.

Yinzhen gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Did I wake you up? I just had a nightmare."

"What nightmare?" An Lingrong asked with concern, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Yinzhen smiled bitterly: "I dreamed that those ministers were all laughing at me..."

He paused and did not continue, but An Lingrong understood what he meant. She kissed his chin gently and said softly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to care about those rumors. I believe that you will handle all of this."

"Rong'er, you are always so considerate." Yinzhen hugged her tighter.

"It's great to have you."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The sweet fragrance of An Lingrong made him feel at ease. But the ridicule of those ministers was like a thorn in his heart, making it difficult for him to let go.

On the second day of the morning court, Yinzhen sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, listening to the ministers' reports on government affairs. He suppressed his anger and tried hard to maintain the majesty of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have heard rumors spreading among the people, all of which are about Your Majesty's ill health. If this continues, it may damage your reputation." An old minister stepped forward and said tremblingly.

Yinzhen snorted coldly: "Oh? Then what do you think, my dear?"

The old minister wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said carefully: "I think that the emperor should dispel the rumors as soon as possible to set the record straight. It would be better to let the imperial physician announce the emperor's physical condition to the public, so that the people can rest assured."

"Ridiculous!" Yinzhen slapped the armrest of the dragon throne fiercely. "How can I allow others to comment on my physical condition? What crime should those who spread rumors be punished for?"

The hall suddenly fell silent, and the ministers kept silent for fear of angering the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Another minister stepped forward to smooth things over.

"It is a blessing for our Qing Dynasty that the emperor is in good health! Moreover, the emperor and Concubine Li are deeply in love and live in harmony with each other. This is an auspicious sign, enough to shatter all rumors!" The minister spoke with saliva flying, as if he had witnessed with his own eyes how Yinzhen and Zhen Huan lived in harmony with each other.

Yinzhen's complexion looked visibly better, and the curve of his mouth corners could not be suppressed.

Yinzhen's mouth opened wide, like a fox that had eaten honey, and he asked happily, "My dear minister, you are absolutely right. I and Concubine Li are in perfect harmony, and we have many children. Why should I care about those rumors?"

He deliberately emphasized the three words "Li Guifei" and glanced at the ministers kneeling below with a hint of provocation.

The ministers understood what was meant, and immediately began to sing praises of the deep love between the emperor and the empress, as if the old minister who had just proposed to refute the rumor did not exist. The old minister's face turned red, but he did not dare to say anything else, so he could only sing praises with everyone else.

For a time, the court was filled with flattery, which surged towards Yinzhen like a tide.

Some people praised Yinzhen for his wisdom and bravery, comparable to Yao and Shun; some people praised Concubine Li for her virtue and kindness, and being a model mother for the country; some people even compared the emperor and the empress to a couple of gods in heaven who came down to earth to save the common people.

Yinzhen was so pleased that his mouth almost stretched to his ears. He even began to imagine how smart his and Rong'er's children would be in the future, and how they would definitely inherit the throne and create a prosperous era.

The old minister who had given the advice earlier also changed his expression at this moment, and echoed with a big smile on his face: "Your Majesty and Concubine Li are truly a match made in heaven! Think of the phoenixes flying together, singing in harmony, it's just like this!"

As he spoke, he secretly observed Yinzhen's expression. Seeing how pleased he was, he secretly thanked himself for changing his tone in time.
