Chapter 76: Zhu Yanhong

When Chen Chang'an returned to the palace again, he felt like he had become a different person.

She began to follow the rules of the palace and get up early every day to pay tribute to the queen. At first, when she first went there, Li Shushen was really shocked. Chen Chang'an looked at her extremely surprised face, but said with a gentle smile, "I am the position of the imperial concubine, and I am the queen's head. It is necessary to settle the province every morning and evening. Where rules were not allowed in the past, please forgive me."

Having said that, Li Shushen could not speak anymore.

At noon, she would occasionally go to accompany the Queen Mother. Although she could not speak a few words, the Queen Mother's eyes when she looked at her became much softer.

So, under everyone's surprised eyes, Chen Chang'an turned the sign as usual and served as usual. Even Chu Luo was surprised to see this.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was almost crazy that day. When facing Chu Luo, she smiled gently as before, "I said that day in Chang'an. I hope the emperor will not take it to heart."

When Chu Luo heard this, his heart trembled deeply, and he gently embraced her, with tenderness in his eyes, "After experiencing such a big change, it is worth your sorrow, but I am sorry for you."

Chang'an leaned against his arms, and a decent smile appeared on his lips. The sound was so calm that she felt scared. "I'm talking nonsense. The emperor is not surprised, so it's good."

When Chu Luo heard Chang'an call himself "the concubine", his smile suddenly stopped, and his heart thrust, and even the movements in his hand suddenly stopped. But soon, he returned to his usual expression, and a touch flashed in his eyes.

As long as she can get back to her side, it will be fine no matter what.

Chang'an felt the change in his silence, and he sneered in his heart.

It would have been great if this had been done before. If I had given up on him a long time ago, I wouldn't have suffered so much pain.

On the day she left the palace in Chang'an, she had a fierce dispute with the emperor, which caused the emperor to leave Chonghua Palace in anger. Everyone thought that with the noble concubine's temperament, she would definitely lose favor. Otherwise, after she returned to the palace, she suddenly became much more virtuous. So the emperor ignored her past grudges and doubled her favor, and even Song Zhaoyi in front of her was dim.

After Chang'an received favor, he naturally did not forget to abide by the position of the imperial concubine, and often went to Tingxue Hall and Tongxin Hall to visit two pregnant concubines.

Qingyun is already seven months pregnant. When she saw Chang'an, she was unable to get up and salute. Chang'an was not surprised. She just smiled and said to her, "Sister, don't be too polite. What do you need in the palace? Even if you tell me, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for you."

Qingyun was slightly stunned when she heard this, and immediately replied respectfully, "I'm grateful to the concubine."

After a while, all the things used in Xuetang were sent by Chang'an to the Interior Department. Every time Chang'an went there, he just said a few words of warm words. In order to avoid suspicion, he never gave her anything.

When she arrived in Tongxin Hall, Song Yanji had already heard about the changes in Chen Chang'an's behavior these days, and she was not surprised to see her coming.

Chang'an just smiled faintly at Yan Ji, asking each other goodbye, without saying anything else.

However, this move fell into the eyes of others, but he praised Chang'an as a model in the harem. Chu Luo thought that it was the grace he gave Chang'an to assist the six palaces that changed her a lot, so he was so relieved.

On the afternoon of that day, Jiang Wanran sat in Chonghua Hall, listening to Chang'an telling what he saw and heard in the past few days, and said with a smile, "My sister's move has won people's hearts and is done without any leakage. When others see her, they think that her sister is virtuous and kind."

Chang'an glanced away Yu Mo from the tea and smiled indifferently, "If I had known this, why would I have to spend my time asking the emperor for his liking? The favors are the same, but they just add to their sadness."

This sentence fell into Wanran's ears and also made her heart tremble. In the past, she thought that Chang'an and the emperor were a match made by heaven, and they envied others. Now they have reached this point of being in harmony with each other's appearance, but they don't know how far they and Xiao Yu can go in this mysterious deep palace.

While she was concentrating on her mind, Chang'an opened his lips and asked, "Is the matter asked you to investigate, but can it be found clearly?"

Wanran's expression moved and immediately looked around. Seeing this, Chang'an knew it and raised his hand to retreat the servants around him, before he spoke, "Tell me."

Wanran calmed down and told everything she found, "I have asked someone to tell my father about this, and my father has also found some points. The new governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Mr. Hu, is from Hecheng, Lin'an, and has some connection with Song Zhaoyi."

Upon hearing this, Chunshan's black eyebrows immediately stood up. She suppressed her doubts and asked slowly, "What did you find out?"

Wanran nodded and lowered her eyebrows, and replied gentlely, "My father has found out that Lord Hu is Song Zhaoyi's half-brother, and he has not met Zhaoyi for more than ten years. In the past, he was promoted to the governor of Jiangnan Prefect Liu Fangzhou, and was suddenly promoted to the governor. It is also shocking. Everyone praised him for his bright future. But according to the concubines, the emperor only promoted him after seeing Zhaoyi's face."

Chang'an listened and couldn't help but angrily, his face full of anger could no longer be restrained, "It's ridiculous! My father spent his whole life to protect the stability of the Jiangnan area. Even if he is no longer here, Changping should have inherited his father's position. How could it fall into the hands of others?!"

Seeing Chang'an's emotions, Wanran quickly advised, "Sister, don't be angry, the emperor, my family is coming to Luoyang, and my sister's younger brother has also joined the central government as an official..."

"How can this be compared!" Chang'an suddenly interrupted her, his eyes even more burning with a dark red anger, "My Shen family worked hard to maintain the Fujian and Zhejiang areas, how could they just make others cheaper?!"

"Sister..." Wanran sighed slightly, but when the words came to her mouth, there was nowhere to persuade her.

If the emperor's actions were in Chang'an, he would also be heartbroken.

Thinking of this, she could no longer persuade her, so she wanted to get up and retreat quietly. Chang'an looked at her, but said nothing.

Wanran walked to the door and suddenly saw a man and woman talking softly not far away. She looked closely and found that it was He Sheng and Wan Xiang.

Wanran's heart trembled suddenly. She wanted to ignore the past indifferently, but suddenly she moved and had some thoughts. She raised her eyes and coughed gently twice. The two turned around and saw Wanran, they were shocked and quickly bowed down and said, "I have met the little master Ronghua."

Wanran's smile on her face was as scattered as smoke. She walked to He Sheng and smiled, "Eunuch He is not working with the emperor at this time, why are you going to this Chonghua Palace to do?"

He Sheng immediately became nervous when he heard this, "It's Eunuch Hai who is on the job today, so..."

Seeing this, Wanxiang hurriedly asked to help He Sheng to rescue the siege, "Junior Master Ronghua, Eunuch He came today, and there is something important to inform the Imperial Concubine. However, Just now, Master Ronghua was with the Imperial Concubine in the hall, so Eunuch He told me the matter first."

When Wanran heard this, she immediately covered her heart with suspicious shadows, which made her feel so heavy, "What's the matter?"

He Shengwei hesitated and dared not answer.

Wanran's eyebrows became deeper and he knew that something great must be. He said anxiously, "What the hell is it? If it is important, you must inform the concubine immediately!"

He Sheng nodded quickly. Wanran was anxious and immediately took the two of them into the hall. Seeing the three of them coming together in Chang'an, he saw Wanran's face look urgent, and he also felt that it was not good. Before she could speak, Wanran took the lead and said, "Sister, Eunuch He is waiting outside the hall and said that there is something important to tell me."

Chang'an's eyes suddenly fell on He Sheng, "What's the matter?"

He Sheng suddenly knelt in front of Chang'an, kowtowed for a while, and without hesitation, he said, "Slave...Slave... This morning, I accidentally heard Eunuch Hai mention a sentence, saying that the emperor suddenly sent Lord Shen to control the water. In fact, it was Song Zhaoyi's idea next to him..."

When He Sheng said this, Wanran's face suddenly turned pale, but there was a calmness in Chang'an's eyes as cold as ice, and he said as cold as usual, "You can continue talking."

"Eunuch Hai mentioned this and didn't say anything further. After hearing this, I thought there was something strange about it, so I told the imperial concubine first..."

"I know." Chang'an looked calm and indifferent without a trace of expression. She tried her best to maintain a decent smile and said to He Sheng, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Hai just said casually, and Eunuch He should not take it to heart."

Wanran was so shocked that her lips and teeth were chilling when she heard Chang'an say this. She couldn't help but say, "Sister, this..."

"I said that it has nothing to do with Song Zhaoyi, so Eunuch He should not be too careful." The smile on Chang'an's lips became lighter and shallower, and in the end there was only a faint curve, "Eunuch He, please come back."

Having said this, He Sheng was inconvenient to keep it anymore. He stood up, Yingran looked at Wanxiang and quietly retreated.

While Wanran was still thinking, she heard the vase beside her falling heavily on the ground, and a loud noise came out, and it fell to pieces in an instant. Then, a row of ceramics gradually landed on the ground.

Wanran was so scared that she staggered, and quickly waved her hand and asked Wanxiang to retreat first, and turned around and wanted to hold Chang'an, "Sister, sister, don't do this..."

Chang'an's eyes were not at all warm. She suddenly laughed, but she was so cold that she laughed. "How much is He Sheng's words true? Should I believe him?"

Wanran was slightly stunned, then recalled the scene just now, and immediately whispered, "I think that Eunuch He's words are true. With his feelings for Wanxiang, he must be on his sister's side."

Chang'an's expression froze for a moment, "What did you say?"

"Eunuch He likes Wanxiang. Just because of this, he will risk losing his head and tell his sister... "

Chang'an frowned, "You mean..."

Wanran nodded resolutely, confirming Chang'an's conjecture.

Immediately afterwards, a porcelain bottle shattered again.

Chang'an looked at the mess on the ground and suddenly laughed furiously.

She laughed a few times, tears flowing out of her eyes. She couldn't even wipe it, but stared at the fragments on the ground hatefully. The anger that had been restraining for a long time finally couldn't help but burst out again.
