An Lingrong was very frightened, and she understood what Huimin meant.

This means that even his own confidant was planted by someone.

If it was just a maid or eunuch cleaning the palace, someone Huimin couldn't get close to, she wouldn't use the word spy. At most, she would remind him that there were spies watching him.

"Sister, she is..."

At this time, there were only Huimin and An Lingrong in private.

When she is with someone in private, no matter who she is with, be it Xia Dongchun, An Lingrong, or even Zhen Huan, Huimin will not allow other people around.

He would also have his trusted confidants guarding outside the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

But even so, Huimin just shook her head.

"This person is cunning and it's hard to find out who is behind him. He is just serving you personally. Once you have the chance, you must replace him with one of your own, a real one of your own."

Huimin emphasized the three words "our own people".

He did not directly point out that it was the Queen who sent Baojuan. On the one hand, this was a nail that was too deep to stick and it was hard to say how he knew about it. On the other hand, if he spoke frankly and was targeted by the Queen, it would be a loss for him.

"One of our own?"

An Lingrong chewed on the three words carefully.

"Lingrong, when you entered the palace, your foundation was too shallow and your position was not high, so it was easiest for people to be placed around you. These people who served you first came into contact with you, and you gradually trusted them, and they would influence you without anyone noticing."

Huimin had no choice but to explain this method of controlling people to her in detail.

An Lingrong had said before that she did not know how to control her subordinates, and Huimin understood that, as she came from a humble background and her father was such a wicked man.

"Sister, then I..."

Seeing that An Lingrong completely trusted her, Huimin was still willing to give her some advice.

"The people around you are very important. Since you don't have a personal maid from home, you should observe more, think more, and choose a few people with clean family backgrounds to cultivate as your confidants."

An Lingrong was also able to understand what he said. She knew Huimin was doing this for her own good, and she could still tell the difference between good and bad.

"I gradually distanced myself from Baojuan and the other two?"

"You have been promoted to a concubine, so it is time to add another one. This time, you should carefully select one. If you think she is not good enough, send her back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can cultivate her slowly by using both kindness and severity."

Huimin did not respond to An Lingrong's question, but let her think about it herself.

Such matters can only be decided by her herself, including the selection of confidants.

No matter how good sisters are, they will have suspicions in the palace. If there is no suspicion today, it may be the case in the future.

Huimin would not interfere with her decisions, especially changes in her confidants.

"Open your eyes and look carefully."

Huimin said no more after she finished speaking, but An Lingrong seemed to be thinking about something.

"Thank you, sister. No one has ever taught me this."

An Lingrong took Huimin's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder, acting coquettishly.

Huimin patted her hands soothingly.

After a few days, Huimin noticed that Baojuan, who usually followed An Lingrong, had been replaced by a new person.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a new batch of servants, and An Lingrong took the initiative to select two palace maids and two young eunuchs.

These few days, she was afraid that she had discovered something was wrong with Baojuan. They were together day and night and she was particularly attentive to her. Even if Baojuan was not caught in the act by An Lingrong, she must have discovered some clues.

Now she is accompanied by a girl named Bao Lian.

The other one is called Baohe. Both of them have interesting names.

According to An Lingrong, it was because of the meeting with the emperor at Lotus Pond that day that they were favored by the emperor, so he gave them this name.

In fact, An Lingrong thought that Huimin loved lotus flowers and leaves, and she was the one who changed her own destiny, so she chose this meaning to remind herself -

No matter what happens in the future, I must never harm Sister Huimin.

With more people around her and further away from Baojuan, she became more lively.

There was less sadness on his face, and his depression dissipated a lot.

It can be seen how much influence that maid has on her. She is sensitive to begin with, and with someone adding fuel to the fire and sowing discord, her personality will become more and more distorted.

In this case, it’s better to be far away.

"Ling Rong."

Although Huimin thought a lot, she didn't say it.

Just everything is as usual.

Recently, An Lingrong has become a little estranged from the Emperor because of An Bihuai's matter. Before that, she was the Emperor's real favorite.

Now that I've been implicated, my favor has been reduced by two points.

But it's only natural for a father to plead for mercy.

If An Lingrong ignored her father, the emperor would think she was heartless and ungrateful, and would become suspicious of her.

Now that An Bihuai is fine, An Lingrong's behavior is understandable, given the emperor's gentleness and thoughtfulness.

Song after song, the emperor's heart was turned into a pool of spring water.

To be loved again.

An Lingrong, Xia Dongchun, Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan... there are so many flowers blooming, and each of them has a good personal relationship with me.

Huimin doesn't have to worry about these concubines attacking her.

It’s just that Concubine Hua, the Queen has to be especially careful.

Baojuan also became anxious when she saw that An Lingrong was gradually distancing herself from her.

Unable to hold his temper for a moment, he contacted the Queen's informant and asked for the Queen's opinion.

The Queen received the news but did not comment.

At that time, the Queen was taking off her hairpins and rings and listening to the report from her servants.

He just smiled coldly at himself in the mirror. His face was getting older and older, and he was no longer young after all.

She sighed, and Jianqiu beside her quickly comforted her with words like "the queen is in her prime."

The palace maids below were quietly waiting for the queen's instructions.

"Don't worry, she has gradually distanced herself from us, but... Oh, she is of humble origins and is like a floating duckweed, who can she depend on?"

"I've seen a lot of sisterhood in the palace. No matter how close she is to Zhen Huan, she will eventually come to me."

"After all, how can she survive without any shelter?"

Looking at the little palace maid below, the queen had a calm expression.

"Even if I can't use it completely, it's still worthwhile to use it a little."

The little palace maid looked at the queen's expression and understood what she meant.

An Changzai is just a chess piece in the Queen's hand. Why should we care about the wishes of the chess piece?

As long as it can be used, it's fine. If she doesn't want to, there are plenty of ways to make her do it.

The little maid was no longer anxious, "Madam, I understand. I will tell Baojuan."

After saying this, the little palace maid kowtowed quietly and then left.

The queen looked out the window and began to laugh.

"Sister, do you think this sisterly love is credible? Aren't Zhen Huan and An Lingrong the same as you and me back then? Although we are not similar in many ways, it would be easy for me to use her to destroy Zhen Huan."

The current queen still cares about Zhen Huan the most. After all, she has a face similar to Chun Yuan and is favored by the emperor.

As for others, such as Huimin, they did not stand out among the concubines.

Moreover, An Lingrong openly belongs to Zhen Huan's party. Although Xilin Gioro seems to have some dealings with her and gives her gifts here and there.

But the Queen felt that Huimin was used to being a good person. Based on Baojuan's previous intelligence, she was an overly loving person, and she didn't have much contact with Zhen Huan's party.

An Lingrong is the most effective in dealing with Zhen Huan.

This is all thanks to Huimin's character establishment and the plan she had planned for so long.
