She leaned on the hot brick bed, and the warm spring sun shone in through the window, shining on her body, causing her to feel a little warm. Listening to Master Zhizhi asking her about this with concern, Rong'er slowly raised her head, ”Is this how it is spread? It may be true, but I have a tough life, and I killed Ama and four other children, right? ” She had lost her life long ago, so she had no idea what was going on with Zhi Yin. The grief in her heart for the past half month had already made her look very haggard.

”Rong'er, how could you think like that?” Worried, she walked over to Rong'er.

”Mistress, what do you mean by that!” Xiaoqing anxiously called out, ”Mistress, please don't think like that.”

Rong'er's eyes turned red, ”But, other than this reason, can you find a better one? However, if I die, it will be my fault, it will be my luck. ” The four sons were all dejected, Rong'er didn't know why, but now that there was such a rumor circulating in the palace, she also thought to herself as she listened to Little Qing, ”Could it really be me?”

”Oh, my mistress. If others say so, then forget it. You must not think like this.” Little Qing hurriedly said.

”That's right, Rong'er, don't say anymore. If the emperor hears it, he'll think too much about it. What should we do then?” Wang Jingzhi sullenly said, ”I wonder who could be so wicked as to say such words.”

At the Palace of Dry and Clear, after dinner, the counsellor and the eunuch from the Internal Affairs Bureau were preparing to have Xuan Ye turn over his cards. Ling Ying'er stood guard at the door, quietly holding the counselor's hand as she said, ”Eunuch Gu, it seems that the emperor has never turned his cards over these past few days.”

”The prince is sick. How could the emperor be in such a mood? But the emperors asked him when they were having their meal today, I don't think he'll turn over any of them.” After all, they had known each other for more than ten years, so their relationship was pretty good.

”Do you know how to flip Noble Lady Rong's cards?” Ling Xiu-er probingly asked.

”I don't think so. In the next few days, the Emperor went directly to see the Noble Lady Rong, not to mention that the Noble Lady Rong's body hasn't been fully nurtured. I reckon the Emperor wants to have a master to ease the Emperor's worries.” The consultant shook his head.

”Eunuch Gu, can you please help me place the Noble Lady An's card in the middle of the table?” Ling Jiao'er asked with expectation in her eyes.

”This …” The consultant looked at Ling Xiu-Er with a puzzled expression, ”Do you have some sort of special relationship with Young Master An?”

I am already so familiar with her, I will not hide it from Eunuch Gu. I, Ah Ma, am now working under the grandfather of Young Master An, and when I found out some time ago, I went to visit the Noble Lady An.

Oh, you want to curry favor with Noble Lady An! The consultant suddenly had an epiphany.

”Eunuch Gu, what are you talking about? I, Ama, followed General Li and fought in the battlefield. I can definitely help the Noble Lady An in the palace, that's all you need to do, please.” Ling Xiu-er stared at the consultant with a hopeful expression.

”Alright, it's just a small effort. Isn't it just putting the promise tablet in the middle? That's no problem, but I can't guarantee that the Emperor will not be able to turn over the Noble Lady An.”

”That's only natural. Thank you so much, Eunuch Gu.” The Noble Lady An's thinking is simple, if the Emperor sees her cards, he would definitely turn her over. Is there anyone more suitable for the Emperor's current mood than her?
