Chapter 374 An Lingrong 30 (End)
There was complete silence at Suiyuxuan.
After a few months, the emperor was ready to confer titles on his harem.
The concubines did not change, they were still concubines. An Lingrong was still a concubine at this time. In this grand promotion, An Lingrong was promoted to Hefei.
Noble Lady Fucha was given the title of Concubine Yi, and Noble Lady Borjigit was given the title of Concubine Tian.
In addition, Princess Shuhe's mother, Xin Changzai, was promoted to Xin Guiren, and Chun Changzai was promoted to Chun Guiren.
There were also some newly appointed concubines by the emperor who were given the title of Changzai.
In addition, because Concubine Qi was the biological mother of the third prince Hongshi, and An Lingrong was the biological mother of the sixth prince Hongmin, and they were both concubines, they had the right to manage the affairs of the six palaces.
Concubine Jing was also in charge all year round, and she was in charge of part of it, but Concubine Duan was sick and weak all year round, so the emperor did not let her take charge.
In short, the right to manage the harem was divided among Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, and An Lingrong.
As for how Concubine Duan felt, no one cared.
When the Queen and Concubine Hua were around, Concubine Qi couldn't get the power to manage the six palaces even if she wanted to. Now her wish has finally come true. Although she can only manage some minor matters, it is enough to make Concubine Qi happy.
Concubine Jing is used to being in charge. Moreover, she is now raising Wen Yi, so she doesn't want to give up the power she has obtained.
And An Lingrong had often taken care of things in the previous world, and now she was managing it very easily and properly.
There was no reason for An Lingrong to let go of this thing.
In the original plot, Wen Yi was given to Concubine Duan to raise, but An Lingrong, who knew Concubine Duan's temperament well, knew that she was not someone who truly loved children, and raising Wen Yi would only make Wen Yi's life difficult.
Isn’t it clearly explained in the original plot that Wen Yi has never appeared again since Concubine Duan raised her?
So this time, after Cao Qinmo died, when the emperor was about to issue an order to let Concubine Duan raise Wen Yi, it just so happened that Concubine Duan fell ill.
The emperor saw that Concubine Duan was frail and often sick, and was afraid that she would not be able to take good care of Wen Yi, so he gave Wen Yi to Concubine Jing to raise.
Concubine Duan’s plan failed.
Although she failed, she still did not give up the idea of raising a child.
Next, she targeted An Lingrong’s child.
Concubine Duan is a smart person. Smart people like Concubine Duan like to be self-righteous. They think they are smarter than others and that others will definitely fall into their traps.
Ultimately it's still about looking down on others.
An Lingrong also knew Concubine Duan's plan, which was to kill her. Then, as the only concubine without children, she would be a very suitable person to raise Hongmin.
Maybe she could even rely on Hongmin to become the empress dowager.
An Lingrong was angry but also wanted to laugh. Concubine Duan was really a daydreamer. Since she was seeking death, she would just send her to death.
So, Concubine Duan felt unwell before she even started to take any action.
Concubine Duan didn't take it seriously. After all, she had been sick before and had a fever often, so this time she thought she would be fine in a few days like before.
But what happened next was beyond her expectations.
After being sick and having a fever for a few days, Concubine Duan felt that she was getting weaker and weaker. She couldn't even speak, and her whole body was aching as if it were being pricked by needles. She felt uncomfortable every moment and suffered such torture.
Make her life worse than death.
It got even worse afterwards. She felt as if her body was being moved alive, and the pain was excruciating.
She died of such pain.
The emperor checked whether someone had harmed her, but there was no one, no clues, and her death was not unexpected, so the emperor could only attribute it to the fact that Concubine Duan's health was not good. After all, she had been ill for many years and she could not hold on this time, so she died.
In the following years, the harem remained peaceful. After all, those who loved to stir up trouble were either killed or disabled. If there were any conflicts, they were just some minor quarrels over the fight for favor.
In the past few years, An Lingrong has been managing some affairs of the harem while developing manpower in the palace. Her efforts have not been in vain. Now, every palace and every department in the entire imperial palace has her people. They are all loyal to her, making it easier for An Lingrong to do things.
Of course, some things did happen in these years. After living a life worse than death for several years, Zhen Huan of Sui Yuxuan finally died unwillingly.
Her death did not cause any stir and was forgotten after people heard about it.
No one takes it seriously.
I'm afraid the only ones who care are Liu Zhu and Xiao Yunzi.
An Lingrong also extended her tentacles beyond the palace. She kept an eye on the developments in the court at all times.
There is also Prince Guo, who appears quite frequently in this world. On New Year's Eve, after Yunli took Zhen Huan's portrait, he was unwilling to see the throne fall into Yinzhen's hands because of what he had in his mind.
So he wanted to use Chun Yuan's substitute, but he didn't expect that the various things that happened after he came back would never allow the two of them to meet, and they had no chance to carry out their plan.
It was not until Zhen Huan died that Yunli reluctantly gave up on this person.
He took the statue out of his purse and threw it casually onto the snow. As a gust of wind blew, the statue quickly disappeared without a trace.
Since Zhen Huan was no longer of any use, after learning that Moge had arrived in the Qing Dynasty, An Lingrong did not hesitate to get rid of him. After all, he could no longer be used.
This is a bit of a threat to the existence of the Qing Dynasty, and it can even be said to be a threat to her son's existence in the future. She will never allow him to come to her door and go back alive.
Later, as the emperor grew older, he began to feel wary of the princes.
Time passed quickly, Hongmin was already in his teens and had shown his intelligence and ability very early. The emperor was becoming increasingly overwhelmed and attached great importance to the throne, so he was afraid that Hongmin might shake his position. For this reason, he not only tested Hongmin, but also often tested her.
What she hated most was testing. Seeing the emperor's disgusted look, An Lingrong decisively gave her the enhanced version of puppet medicine. This medicine had the same effect as the one she had asked Gu Yan to take in the beginning.
She could control him to do anything. The emperor could feel that his body was out of his control, but he could do nothing to change it.
In the original plot, the emperor had no sincerity towards the original owner and teased her like a kitten or a puppy. So now, An Lingrong should be returned.
She would also like to let the emperor, a supreme ruler, have a taste of humiliation so that she wouldn't have to come to this world in vain.
In the days that followed, An Lingrong often took pleasure in torturing the emperor. When she was in a bad mood, she would beat him. When she was in a good mood, she would tease him. Looking at his humiliated and resentful eyes, An Lingrong laughed even more happily.
Even if he hated her, so what? He couldn't take revenge.
The emperor lived in humiliation for several years. When Hongmin grew up a little, An Lingrong had the emperor killed. Hongmin inherited the throne, and An Lingrong became the empress dowager.
