EBE Chapter 190 Missing Hometown, Ling Rong's Father
Chapter 190 Missing Hometown, Ling Rong's Father
However, now that her sister has successfully given birth to the child, she does plan to consider her own problems.
She must have this child. Only with a child will she have hope for the rest of her life in the harem. If it is a boy, when he is conferred the title of prince in the future, she will have the opportunity to leave the palace with the child.
After being in the palace for so long, she missed the customs and culture of her hometown more and more.
Now that I am trapped in this world all day long, life is becoming more and more boring.
"I don't know how my mother is doing at home now."
An Lingrong put down the embroidery she was working on. When she thought of her hometown, she couldn't help but think of her mother who had gone blind because of donating money to help her father get an official position.
"The young lady has entered the palace and become the emperor's noble lady. Madam will definitely be very pleased when she knows about this."
"Besides, with you here, my lady, I think my lady's life won't be too bad."
Chuntao has been with An Lingrong for some time and knows a little about what goes on in An Lingrong's family, so she naturally knows what An Lingrong is worried about.
"Yes, now that I have become a noble, I am somewhat favored. I think my father will not treat my mother harshly."
An Lingrong nodded in agreement.
She knew best what kind of man her father was. Now that she was favored in the palace, he naturally had to treat her mother well.
It’s all because of her sister that she can have such a good life now.
If not for this, she would probably still be waiting for the emperor's favor, just like Chun Chang who was taken to the Old Summer Palace.
She is a Manchu, and her family background is much higher than his own, but she has not yet received the emperor's favor.
If there is nothing that can attract the emperor, he will not humble himself to favor her.
Nowadays, the women in this palace are like flowers, each with their own characteristics. It may not be easy for Chun Changzai to stand out.
"My lord, my lord, something bad has happened."
The maid ran in hurriedly and spoke to An Lingrong.
"What did you say? What happened?"
An Lingrong stood up, looked at the other party and asked.
"Master An is in trouble, my lady."
The maidservant couldn't wait to catch her breath, so she quickly told him the news she had heard.
"how is this possible?"
An Lingrong held on to the table beside her, somewhat unsteadily. She looked at the maid in disbelief and asked.
"Are you sure you heard me correctly?"
An Lingrong asked again.
"My lady, it's true. This matter has spread all over the palace."
The maid nodded repeatedly at An Lingrong.
An Lingrong closed her eyes. She found it hard to imagine what could have happened to her father, a minor official, that even became known to everyone in the palace.
There must be something wrong here. She needs to go and discuss it with her sister.
After saying that, An Lingrong didn't care about anything else and hurried to Natural Painting with Chuntao.
"elder sister."
"Ling Rong."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong who looked anxious and asked with some confusion.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Sister, something happened to my father. I didn't know how he could have caused such a big mess since he was just a minor official in Songyang County."
On the way here, she carefully asked the maid about what she heard, and she had a general understanding of the mistakes her father had made.
"How could this be?"
"Please tell me in detail what is going on."
Fu Cha Zhixi then thought that perhaps this was the plot in the original story where An Lingrong's father got into trouble. It was just because she had been in confinement these days, so she thought she had forgotten this plot. She didn't expect it to happen just after she came out of confinement.
"I heard from them that the county magistrate of Songyang County was responsible for escorting the military supplies, and my father was one of the officials in charge. But unexpectedly, they ran into enemy soldiers on the way and the military supplies were stolen."
An Lingrong spoke to Fu Cha Zhixi in a tearful voice.
As soon as she heard the news, she realized that her father's crime was neither big nor small.
To put it in a broader sense, this is a failure to fulfill one's duties, and losing military rations is a serious crime.
To put it simply, her father was just one of the officials, not even a leader. Even if someone was to hold him accountable, he could only be considered an accomplice.
If this matter had not become known to everyone, perhaps she could have gone to the emperor to beg for help in private, but now that the situation was like this, if she went directly to the emperor, it would make the emperor dissatisfied with her.
By then, if his father fails to produce the child and instead loses his only love, that would be even more troublesome.
"Moreover, Jiang Wenqing, as a leader, deserted the battlefield and even ran away with the silver. When this happened, the emperor was furious and ordered to capture Jiang Wenqing."
"Although my father is now imprisoned, Jiang Wenqing's disturbance has angered the emperor. I am worried that if the emperor gets angry, my father's life may be in danger."
The more An Lingrong spoke, the sadder she became.
"So in this case, your father is not only not the mastermind, but he can be considered an innocent person."
Fu Cha Zhixi thought for a moment and then asked.
"I'm sure my father won't get involved. He's always been very cautious and doesn't dare to do anything, let alone something that could cost him his life."
An Lingrong spoke with great confidence.
"In that case, it is not difficult to rescue your father, but it depends on you."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong meaningfully and said.
"Sister, do you mean that I should go and ask the Emperor for mercy?"
An Lingrong asked uncertainly.
"Of course not. You are at the center of the storm right now. Since your father is not the mastermind, why did the news spread so quickly? I'm sure there must be someone else who is fanning the flames."
"If you rush to speak for your father at this time when the emperor is upset, it will backfire and make the emperor annoyed."
"The most important thing for you to do now is to stay calm. If you stay calm in the harem, the emperor will not do anything to your father even for your sake."
"Of course, this is based on the premise that your father really wasn't involved. If the emperor gets any definite evidence, your father won't be able to be saved."
Fu Cha Zhixi was not the kind of person who only said nice things. She told An Lingrong all the pros and cons.
"I understand what you mean, sister. It seems that this time you are targeting me."
An Lingrong gradually calmed down by now, and said while looking ahead with cold eyes.
Or in other words, this time it's aimed at my sister.
