Chapter 483 Three Consecutive Rejections
"No need. Why should we care about her now that she has left?"
Facing Fangruo's request, An Lingrong slowly shook her head, indicating Fangruo not to pay attention to Cao Qinmo.
With a personality like Cao Qinmo's, An Lingrong had already guessed what she would say even before she finished speaking.
Not to mention that An Lingrong originally wanted to use Nian Shilan to deal with the Queen in order to achieve the goal of balancing the power of both sides. Just look at Nian Shilan's current situation, it seems that she has fallen from grace and has been abandoned by the Emperor.
But is this absolute?
Based on An Lingrong's understanding of Yongzheng, she felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Indeed, the emperor's likes, dislikes and likes were very clear.
When you like someone, you hold him/her in your hands, treating him/her like a pearl or a treasure, wishing to bring all the beautiful things in the world to him/her. But once you hate someone, you wish to grind him/her to ashes...
The emperor's ruthlessness was fully demonstrated in Yongzheng.
It is for this reason that An Lingrong feels that Nian Shilan will not be completely defeated this time.
Even though she had lost her title and was no longer a noble concubine, outsiders saw that Nian Shilan was punished this time entirely because she was "implicated" by her brother, and not for any other reason.
Regardless of whether this is the truth or not, this is pretty much what the emperor released, and what he wanted people to guess for themselves.
An Lingrong always felt that Yongzheng's attempt to cover up something was making it even more obvious, and of course she did not think highly of Cao Qinmo who was still actively wandering around outside at this time.
In her previous life, although Nian Shilan served as a royal concubine for only a few days, she experienced ups and downs in favor.
At that time, Cao Qinmo was like a slippery loach, constantly jumping back and forth around him. After Nian Gengyao was executed, Cao Qinmo was the last straw that broke the camel's back and made all of Nian Shilan's evil deeds over the years public.
For this, Cao Qinmo was commended by the emperor, promoted to the position of concubine, and also given a title, namely "Xiang".
The meaning of this title is to help each other. The reason why it was given to Cao Qinmo is self-evident.
If Cao Qinmo had stopped while she was ahead, stayed quiet and dormant, and returned to her original state, Yongzheng might not have done anything to Cao Qinmo because she had given birth to a daughter for him.
However, Cao Qinmo was determined to commit suicide. Not only did she continue to interact with Zhen Huan, but after the strange incident of burning Yuxuan to pieces, she also spoke to the emperor and intended to kill Nian Shilan completely!
An Lingrong still remembers that when the news reached the Queen, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
As a result, Cao Qinmo fell ill shortly after Nian Shilan passed away, and died for unknown reasons.
In the days that followed, An Lingrong felt horrified every time she thought of this incident.
After starting over again, Cao Qinmo doesn't seem to have changed much. He still intends to please everyone and is profit-driven.
Although the situation is pitiful, sometimes, when a person insists on pretending to be asleep, how can others wake him up?
Anyway, An Lingrong doesn't plan to care about these trivial matters now, and naturally she won't let the people around her worry about them.
"Yes, I understand, slave."
Fang Ruo has been with An Lingrong for some time and thinks she has some understanding of her.
Since An Lingrong didn't let him get involved, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind. So he nodded and didn't mention the matter again.
"Oh, aunt, please go to Suiyuxuan and Xianfu Palace respectively, and tell my two sisters exactly what happened today!"
An Lingrong asked Fang Ruo to drink a cup of tea with her, and then began to give her a new task.
She didn't need Fang Ruo to stop Cao Qinmo, because the other party posed no threat at all, so there was no need to attack him.
However, according to Cao Qinmo's character, she would not be discouraged as she would only suffer setbacks on her side.
Then, Cao Qinmo’s most likely next target is either Zhen Huan or Shen Meizhuang!
Of the two, Zhen Huan and Cao Qinmo are closer because of their relationship as Princess Wen Yi. However, Zhen Huan is now in her advanced stage of pregnancy and rarely sees outsiders. Even if Cao Qinmo wants to get in touch with her, it is not so easy.
Shen Meizhuang had already given birth to her child and was also out of confinement. She was also "graciously" granted by the Queen that she no longer had to help with the trivial matters in the palace, and her life was very leisurely.
However, Shen Meizhuang was not familiar with Cao Qinmo, and her personality was more alert, so the possibility of Cao Qinmo fooling her was very low.
However, in An Lingrong's opinion, things like this should be handled with caution, so she wanted Fang Ruo to go, even if it was just to seek peace of mind, at least it showed her sincere thoughts.
As for letting Fang Ruo go, on the one hand, it was because she was the most reliable person in Yonghe Palace. With her doing things, An Lingrong could of course rest assured.
"Slave, take your orders!"
Fang Ruo also knows the priorities of things.
Seeing Cao Qinmo's aggressive look just now, Fang Ruo concluded that there must be something wrong with her coming to Yonghe Palace.
Now, An Lingrong had just given birth to a child and was in need of allies. She was also on good terms with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang.
It is reasonable for Fangruo to make this trip!
……
"My Lord, what shall we do next?"
Following Cao Qinmo out of Xianfu Palace, Yinxiu looked a little confused when facing her master.
She was Cao Qinmo's trusted maid, so she naturally knew exactly what her mistress was thinking.
However, ever since they went to Yonghe Palace to find Concubine Yi, nothing seemed to go smoothly for them.
First of all, Concubine Yi was unwilling to pay attention to them. At that time, the young lady was not discouraged, but quickly left Yonghe Palace.
Then, Cao Qinmo took Yinxiu to Suiyuxuan, hoping to use the relationship between her daughter and Zhen Huan to seduce the emperor's current "favorite".
However, Fang Ruo had already been instructed by An Lingrong, so she ran at full speed, her pace much faster than that of Cao Qinmo and his servant, who had been thinking for a while on the palace road.
Zhen Huan had already been pretending to be friendly with Cao Qinmo, and after receiving the instructions from An Lingrong, she didn't even want to be perfunctory anymore.
Cao Qinmo did not meet Zhen Huan. She only learned from Cui Jinxi that it was "inconvenient" for her to see her, so she could only leave in disappointment.
When they arrived at Xianfu Palace, Shen Meizhuang was not there, but Concubine Jing told her directly that it would be better to put away those inappropriate thoughts, otherwise it would only bring trouble to herself.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Jing issued the "order to expel the guests".
Now, being questioned by her trusted palace maid, Cao Qinmo herself was confused for a moment.
Yes, what should she do next?
"Where on earth should I go from here?"
Cao Qin muttered to herself.
After a moment, the confusion in her eyes disappeared.
Instead, there is a strong determination!
"Yinxiu, let's go!"
Cao Qinmo made up her mind and left Xianfu Palace with the palace maids, turned around and walked quickly towards Jingren Palace.
This is the last chance. Success or failure depends on this one chance!
