An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

An Lingrong thought that she could not guess the emperor's thoughts completely, but at least she could figure out a general idea.

Just like what Yongzheng is asking now, it is obvious that he already has an idea in his mind, but he still needs confirmation from other sides before asking himself such a question.

At this time, you must not answer rashly, otherwise it will give the emperor the impression that you are dealing with it in a hasty manner.

Therefore, An Lingrong looked as if she was thinking deeply.

After waiting for a long time, she finally spoke: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Sister Wan has always been respectful to the Queen in the palace, and has never been negligent to the other ladies. I am also humble and polite. If anyone has any resentment towards her, I am afraid it has disappeared like yesterday's flowers, just like a passing cloud."

Because when Zhen Huan first entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor, and that was when Nian Shilan was the most arrogant and domineering.

If An Lingrong said that Zhen Huan was loved by everyone in the harem, she would obviously be lying with open eyes.

Concubines like Nian Shilan and Concubine Qi were more jealous than each other back then!

Therefore, An Lingrong deliberately left it vague, leaving only room for the emperor to think.

"Well, you have a point."

Sure enough, after An Lingrong finished speaking, the emperor nodded, as if he agreed with her.

"Then, could it be that the damage to the imperial concubine's auspicious dress was caused by Concubine Wan's mistake?"

After casually ignoring the previous question, the emperor turned to ask An Lingrong whether it was Zhen Huan who accidentally tore her clothes, and then used this as an excuse to get rid of his own fault.

As soon as this question was asked, An Lingrong's expression became even more strange.

She wasn't feigning confusion.

Rather, considering the emperor's love for Zhen Huan, An Lingrong always felt that the other party was setting a trap for her when he asked her this question.

Could it be that Yongzheng thought that he had some ill will towards Zhen Huan?

"what happened?"

It seemed that An Lingrong's expression was too strange, or maybe she had been silent for too long. Seeing that there was no answer for a long time, Yongzheng could not help but ask.

"Your Majesty, as I said before, Sister Wan is very thoughtful and cautious. Since the wedding dress was sent to Suiyuxuan by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it has been carefully stored and is not opened on weekdays. If I hadn't chatted with Sister Wan that day and Sister Wan invited me to see the dress, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found any flaws."

As An Lingrong spoke, her eyes did not wander towards the Emperor, but she continued as if she was stating something to herself: "Looking back now, we still feel terrified. If we had not discovered it in advance, Sister Wan would have been disrespectful in front of the Emperor on the day of the canonization. Not only would it be difficult for the wedding to take place, but it would also be a waste of the Emperor's efforts. It would be too late to regret it!"

Having said this, An Lingrong paused for a moment, and seeing that the emperor looked thoughtful, she decided to add fuel to the fire.

"And if it was my fault, I would have said something presumptuous. Rather than letting the whole palace know, my original intention was to ask Concubine Duan to come forward and administer justice. On the other hand, I also don't want to trouble Your Majesty to worry about it."

As the emperor's mind was fickle, his visit to her this time was extremely unexpected. For a moment, An Lingrong was unsure of the emperor's attitude towards Zhen Huan, nor was she sure whether the other party had suspected her, so she simply laid out the matter and made it clear.

No matter from which perspective, Zhen Huan had no motive to destroy the auspicious dress.

And if it was really Zhen Huan who ruined the dress, she could have quietly found someone to repair it instead of asking Concubine Duan to make the decision for her as she did now.

At the end, An Lingrong emphasized that Zhen Huan was unwilling to trouble the emperor for such a trivial matter. There was another deeper meaning in this, which was that given the relationship between Zhen Huan and the emperor, if Zhen Huan was willing, she could directly complain to the emperor, and she would also be able to achieve her goal without being criticized.

Sure enough, after being comforted by An Lingrong, the emperor nodded repeatedly, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes. It was obvious that he felt guilty for having doubted Zhen Huan's motives before.

"Well, what I said to you today must not be known to anyone else except you and me."

Having overcome the hurdle in his heart, the emperor no longer planned to stay in Yonghe Palace.

Before leaving, in order to prevent An Lingrong from telling others about the content of today's conversation, the emperor naturally gave her another warning.

"Your Majesty's command is obeyed."

Facing Yongzheng's warning, An Lingrong looked submissive and nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would keep her mouth shut.

The emperor got a satisfactory answer, and then he thought of Zhen Huan and the Queen who were now in Shoukang Palace. He couldn't help but worry that Zhen Huan would be troubled by the Queen.

After all, when it comes to closeness, the empress dowager will naturally be more inclined to the queen.

When he thought of this, Yongzheng felt that his situation was urgent, so he hurriedly left Yonghe Palace and then ordered his carriage to go to Shoukang Palace.

"Are you starting to get anxious now?"

Looking at the emperor's hurriedly leaving back, An Lingrong raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Although there was a smile on her face, no matter how you looked at it, An Lingrong's smile contained a hint of sarcasm.

The emperor's sincerity is not only rare, but also unsustainable.

Looking at this huge harem, the only person who can be said to have won some favor from the emperor is Zhen Huan.

Perhaps Nian Shilan was also on this list, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being suspected by the emperor.

……

"Princess Wan, besides what you just said, do you have nothing more to say to me and the Queen Mother?"

Inside the main hall of Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother and the Empress sat on the throne, while Zhen Huan stood silently below.

Not long ago, the Queen Mother sent someone to summon Zhen Huan and brought her to Shoukang Palace.

Zhen Huan was a little confused at first. She didn't understand why the Queen Mother wanted to look for her so late at night.

But after arriving at Shoukang Palace, Zhen Huan immediately discovered that the Queen Mother was not looking for only her, the Queen was also present!

Zhen Huan was smart, and when she saw this situation, she understood it immediately.

It seems that these two are going to ask about what happened during the day!

But this time, the Queen Mother was the one taking the lead, which made Zhen Huan feel strange.

Faced with the questions from the Empress Dowager, Zhen Huan did not hide anything.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, at that time..."

Under the empress dowager's majestic gaze, Zhen Huan told the whole story of how she and An Lingrong had damaged the auspicious dress.

When Zhen Huan talked about the whole story, her tone was very calm, and it was hard to tell that she had just encountered such a thing.

However, the calmer Zhen Huan's tone was, the more uneasy the Queen felt.
