An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 531 Pretending to Cater

Originally, Fang Ruo wanted An Lingrong to find Zhen Huan first, and then take the initiative to tell her that Concubine Qi came to seek help, so as to completely clear herself of any involvement in this incident.

However, An Lingrong did not think so.

First of all, she knew about her friendship with Zhen Huan.

Given Zhen Huan's character and her trust in herself, she would definitely not misinterpret it.

If she hurriedly told Zhen Huan about what Concubine Qi had done in the past, she would inevitably feel like she wanted to quickly distance herself from the matter, which would make others misunderstand that she really had some connection with Concubine Qi.

However, Fang Ruo's words are not completely without merit.

At least, An Lingrong was planning to go to Zhen Huan's palace.

……

"My lord, my lord An is here."

When An Lingrong came to Suiyuxuan, she did not see Concubine Qi, but she was not surprised.

She herself was a frequent visitor to Zhen Huan's palace, and the servants in Sui Yuxuan never found An Lingrong's arrival strange.

Therefore, An Lingrong naturally had a smooth journey and arrived directly outside the main hall.

Huanbi, who was guarding outside the door, saw An Lingrong, first bowed to her, then turned around and went in to inform Zhen Huan.

Although An Lingrong and Zhen Huan are now the mistresses of a palace, Huanbi, the maidservants that Zhen Huan brought with them as dowries, still call An Lingrong by their original names in private, which actually shows the intimacy between the two sides.

"Sister is here, why don't you come in?"

Zhen Huan's voice came from behind the door curtain.

Then, a bare hand reached out from behind the door curtain and lifted it up.

It turned out that Zhen Huan heard Huanbi's report and took the initiative to come forward to greet her.

"elder sister."

An Lingrong stepped forward, bowed, and then smiled and nodded to Zhen Huan.

"Come on, come in and talk."

Now that the weather is cold, Zhen Huan couldn't help but frowning as she looked at An Lingrong, who was wearing thin clothes. She called people into the house and asked Huanbi to boil water and make tea. At the same time, she looked at An Lingrong with a helpless smile.

"My sister came to see me this time, I think she also heard those rumors."

Although she seemed to be asking An Lingrong, Zhen Huan's tone was firm.

Even if the incident happened in the Empress Dowager's palace, it should have been kept secret.

But the result?

Within just half a day, the news of the Queen Mother's anger spread to all the palaces.

Concubine Qi, who was the instigator, instantly became the subject of discussion!

There is only one possibility for the news to be spread from the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace, and that is that this matter was instructed by the Empress Dowager.

If not, who among the palace maids and eunuchs in Shoukang Palace would be so bold as to spread what happened in the Empress Dowager's palace?

Therefore, Zhen Huan was not surprised at all that An Lingrong came to find her at this time.

"Sister only guessed half of it."

Seeing the surprise on Zhen Huan's face, An Lingrong smiled slowly.

"Sister, I came to see you this time not to comfort you. After all, from what I know about you, Concubine Qi is just a clown. How could you take her seriously?"

An Lingrong's words made Zhen Huan laugh and cry.

But An Lingrong was right, she really didn't take Concubine Qi seriously.

However, Shen Meizhuang was wronged for this after all. Even if the Queen Mother immediately stepped forward to severely punish Concubine Qi to vent her anger, Zhen Huan was still very angry in her heart.

"As sisters, we cannot sit idly by when Sister Mei is wronged."

An Lingrong said, "That noble lady Qi may seem well-behaved, but in fact she is very calculating. What she relies on now is nothing more than the merits of her father, Guaerjia clan Emin, who helped the emperor put down Nian Gengyao's rebellion. At the same time, the queen seems to treat noble lady Qi differently, which has also intensified her ambition."

An Lingrong's words made Zhen Huan nod repeatedly.

Her eyes became brighter as she looked at An Lingrong, and at the same time she was filled with emotion in her heart.

Since entering the palace, An Lingrong has always been by his side, constantly helping him and often giving him advice, helping him resolve many troubles.

Just like now, facing the mess caused by Concubine Qi, An Lingrong was able to rush to her side at the first time, which naturally made Zhen Huan feel very comforted.

And the most important thing was what An Lingrong said. Every word hit her heart!

Zhen Huan felt that she resonated with this and subconsciously asked about An Lingrong.

"So, Lingrong, in your opinion, how should we deal with this?"

Before An Lingrong came, Zhen Huan had already thought about taking revenge on Concubine Qi.

However, Zhen Huan always likes to plan before making decisions.

Even if you want to deal with one person, you must first understand the other person thoroughly before you can formulate a countermeasure.

An Lingrong's opinion coincided with Zhen Huan's original idea, which naturally aroused Zhen Huan's curiosity.

"This is not difficult."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "Hasn't Concubine Qi always wanted to curry favor with you? It just so happens that the remnant of Nian's influence in the palace has not faded away yet. Even if you get closer to Concubine Qi, others won't find it strange."

Because in the matter of overthrowing Nian Gengyao, the main contributors were Zhen Huan's father Zhen Yuandao and Concubine Qi's Amaguarjia Emin.

It was precisely because of this that the Queen was able to take the opportunity to persuade the Emperor to bring her into the palace when it was not the election period.

In the eyes of many people, although Zhen Huan and Concubine Qi belonged to the Han Army and the Manchu Army respectively, they had frequent contacts with each other because they had previously worked together to deal with the Nian family. The former dynasty and the harem were originally one, so it was not surprising if they joined forces to form an alliance.

"But... at this juncture."

Zhen Huan understood what An Lingrong meant, which was to ask her to pretend to please Concubine Qi so that she could find an opportunity to kill her with one strike.

But the problem was that Concubine Qi offended Shen Meizhuang directly in front of the Empress Dowager because of her outspokenness.

If Zhen Huan did not draw a clear line between them at this time, but instead had close contact with them, not only would it arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother, but she would also not be able to explain herself to her good sisters.

"Don't worry, sister."

An Lingrong said: "Since the Queen Mother has already punished Concubine Qi, it can be regarded as a small punishment and a big warning. I am afraid she will not investigate further."

After all, since Concubine Qi entered the palace as a concubine, she was already the emperor's person.

With filial piety weighing heavily on his shoulders, even Yongzheng had to be courteous to the Empress Dowager.

But in contrast, the queen is the master of the harem after all, and it is the emperor who arranges everything behind the scenes.

If the empress dowager intervenes too much, it will inevitably cause discord between mother and son, and such an outcome is naturally what the empress dowager does not want.

"As for Sister Mei."

Seeing that Zhen Huan looked thoughtful, An Lingrong knew that her only concern now was her good friend Shen Meiyu, and she immediately gave Zhen Huan a reassurance.
