The life of a man on the road of film and television

Although An Lingrong had discovered before that Baojuan was the Queen's person, she still had something on the Queen. So in order to prevent the Queen from finding out and using other means to deal with her, An Lingrong had no choice but to ask Bailing to secretly monitor Baojuan.

As usual, she and Baojuan maintained a deep master-servant relationship on the surface.

But after all, there is a gap in her heart towards Baojuan. No matter how well An Lingrong behaves, she will still subconsciously be on guard against Baojuan.

But sometimes, habits are something that cannot be hidden just because you want to.

And before Baojuan came to An Lingrong, she was an excellent chess piece trained by the Ulanala clan.

So even though An Lingrong was on guard, Baojuan still observed that she was very familiar with spices.

It happened that the Third Prince gave Concubine Qi a cat a few days ago. For this reason, Concubine Qi came to Jingren Palace more than once and told the Queen that the Third Prince was filial.

Of course, with Concubine Qi's brain, she didn't mean to mock the Queen. Rather, the only people in the harem who could talk to her were the Queen and Concubine Shun.

And every time Concubine Qi went out of Jingren Palace, she would hold the cat and play with it in the imperial garden for a while.

So after the Queen heard the news from Baojuan, she quickly came up with a plan in her mind.

To prevent any further complications, the Queen asked someone to call An Lingrong to Jingren Palace the next day.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen"

When An Lingrong heard that the Queen was calling her, her heart couldn't stop beating fast all the way to Jingren Palace.

Sometimes she wondered if her defense against Baojuan had been discovered, and sometimes she wondered if the Queen could no longer bear it and wanted her to do something shameful.

But no matter what the result was, in An Lingrong's heart, she was very reluctant to help the Queen do those dirty things.

After all, if the matter is exposed in the future, the queen, as the mother of the country, will not be severely punished by the emperor as long as she does not make any serious mistakes.

But she is different. She cannot think about it when the time comes. She will definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat and will not have a good end.

Because of her wild thoughts along the way, An Lingrong's face inevitably looked a little unhappy when she arrived at Jingren Palace.

But this did not prevent the Queen from using her, so after seeing An Lingrong come in, the Queen straightened up from the couch where she was leaning on and reading, and a "kind and gentle" smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Get up, Jianqiu, and show An a seat."

Even without the Queen's order, no matter how much Jianqiu disliked An Lingrong in private, she would still put on a good show like the Queen.

An Lingrong sat down obediently, but she only dared to carefully lean on the side, then lowered her head and clenched her handkerchief, not daring to look up at the Queen.

Seeing her like this, the queen's eyes showed a hint of disgust, but her tone remained gentle.

"I heard that you had a cough a few days ago. I called you here today to see if you are feeling better now."

It’s a pity that An Lingrong didn’t feel the Queen’s thoughtfulness at all. Not only that, after receiving the Queen’s sudden concern, An Lingrong felt as terrified as if she was being locked by a wild beast.

"I am much better now, but I am not fully recovered yet, so I dare not offend the Queen, and it is not appropriate for me to go to crowded places."

An Lingrong’s throat was indeed not feeling well before, but that was because she had to perform for Concubine Hua so often, which resulted from temporary fatigue and shame.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, after a period of rest, An Lingrong's voice is no longer in good condition.

She said this just out of a wild hope that the Queen would let her go.

But how could the queen, who had already prepared a plan, let go of An Lingrong, the most suitable chess piece?

"You can't stay indoors in the palace all day. Spring has come and everything is reviving. Going out and walking around more will help you feel better.

Besides, the Japanese palace saw that the flowers in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom a few days ago, so they wanted to hold a flower viewing party. You must not be absent then."

Hearing the Queen's tone that did not admit of refusal, An Lingrong knew that she could not refuse the other party's invitation, but she felt even more nervous.

She was now certain that the Queen had called her here today because she had something for her to do.

"Thank you for your concern, I will be there on time."

"Well, speaking of which, when I went to your palace last time, I smelled a strange fragrance. I don't know where it came from. Can you give me some?"

Perhaps because she saw that An Lingrong was trembling with fear but not falling into the trap, the Queen had no choice but to change her words to a more obvious one to hint at An Lingrong.

When An Lingrong heard the Queen say this, she knew that she must have been careless and revealed the fact that she could mix perfume in front of Baojuan.

But this kind of thing cannot be concealed, otherwise it will be even more troublesome when the truth is discovered in the future. An Lingrong had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Yes, my father was a spice merchant before he became an official, so I know a little bit about it. I wonder what kind of incense the Queen is talking about. I will mix it for you when I return."

"That's not a rush. Spices are good, but you still have to be careful with some spices. Improper use may harm your health."

Putting down the book in her hand, the Queen saw that the topic was finally on the right track, and her eyes became sharper. At this moment, she stared at An Lingrong, hoping that the other party could understand what she meant.

"Thank you for your reminder, Madam. I understand."

In fact, as soon as the Queen spoke, An Lingrong understood what she meant by combining her previous and subsequent words, but An Lingrong did not want to get involved in the Queen's affairs, so she just pretended not to understand.

Seeing that An Lingrong didn't respond, the Queen's eyes darkened, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she continued to give hints.

"It's spring now. The cats in the cat and dog room have been acting a bit irritable lately. The other cats can only meow, but I heard that Concubine Qi's cat loves to pounce on things the most."

As the Queen spoke, she gave Jianqiu, who was standing next to her, a look. Jianqiu understood and spoke immediately. As she spoke, she handed An Lingrong a cup of fragrant tea with a smile.

“Cats are hard to coax when they get angry in the spring, but cats like to smell odors, so they will become obedient after smelling them for a long time.”

"Since we just mentioned that An Da Ying knows about spices, I wonder if An Da Ying knows how to solve it."

As long as she wasn't a fool, An Lingrong would be able to understand the meaning of the Queen's words, given that the words had been said so clearly.

Seeing this, An Lingrong knew she couldn't escape, but she still wanted to fight for it.

"Your concubine, your concubine..."

Her attitude made the Queen extremely dissatisfied. Now the Queen also knew that even if An Lingrong surrendered to her, she didn't want to do things for her, which made the Queen's tone inevitably cold.

“I heard that An Da Ying’s mother suffers from an eye disease. As long as you are willing to work for me, I can help you find a few doctors with excellent medical skills to treat her.

When your position is promoted in the future, I can send someone from my clan to bring her over to the capital to enjoy a good life.

But if you are so ungrateful, then I can make you fall out of favor just as I can make you gain favor immediately."

As expected, as soon as the Queen said this, An Lingrong turned pale and knelt down immediately, tears falling uncontrollably, and she begged for mercy from the Queen in an earnest voice.
