An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang naturally had no idea what the emperor and the empress dowager were talking about in the main hall.

At this time, the two of them were walking in the yard.

"Sister Mei, do you have anything to say to me?"

An Lingrong had long noticed that Shen Meizhuang was uneasy, and seeing that she was looking at her with a look that showed she wanted to say something but was hesitant, she simply took the initiative to speak out.

"Lingrong, I thank you so much for what happened in front of the Queen Mother just now."

Shen Meizhuang was startled at first when she heard this, but then, looking at An Lingrong's expression, she thought that she had guessed what was in her mind, so she no longer hesitated and thanked her straightforwardly.

When Shen Meizhuang asked the Queen Mother to ask Sun Zhuxi to take Zhen Huan to the storehouse to look for the inkstone, she felt something was wrong.

After that, Zhen Huan never came back, and the Queen Mother took out the Buddhist scriptures copied by An Lingrong in front of the Emperor for him to review, but she ignored Zhen Huan's work that was right in front of her.

All these things put together point to the fact that the Queen Mother does not like Zhen Huan very much.

As a close friend, Shen Meizhuang didn't know the reason, but she was worried about her friend.

She had wanted to find an opportunity later to say a few good words to Zhen Huan, and at the same time, to find out indirectly what the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with Zhen Huan about.

Unexpectedly, when An Lingrong was questioned by the emperor, she actually took the initiative to mention Zhen Huan!

As soon as she said this, Shen Meizhuang immediately saw the empress dowager's face change slightly, and at that time she was also worried about An Lingrong and broke into a cold sweat.

Regardless of whether An Lingrong did it unintentionally or mentioned it intentionally, Shen Meizhuang appreciated the fact that An Lingrong did not leave out Zhen Huan.

"Sister Mei, you are too kind."

Seeing Shen Meizhuang's serious expression and thanking her on behalf of Zhen Huan, An Lingrong was extremely envious of the "sisterhood" between them.

The reason why she mentioned Zhen Huan in front of Yongzheng in front of the Empress Dowager could not be "unintentional".

An Lingrong knew that the emperor was interested in Zhen Huan, but there was no suitable opportunity to contact Zhen Huan now.

After finally waiting for the chance to turn over Zhen Huan's card, Yongzheng received another "surprise" prepared by Concubine Hua.

Therefore, Yongzheng came to the Queen Mother at this time, even if it was because of Concubine Hua's matter, he might have wanted to take this opportunity to meet Zhen Huan.

Therefore, An Lingrong deliberately mentioned Zhen Huan, but did not focus too much on her.

In this way, even if the Queen Mother wanted to blame someone, there was nothing she could do.

After all, An Lingrong and the others don’t know the “reason” why the Queen Mother dislikes Zhen Huan!

Moreover, what An Lingrong said was not wrong. She did study with Zhen Huan, and they also copied scriptures for the Queen Mother together. These were all facts.

Even if An Lingrong left a bad impression on the Empress Dowager in the end, it was just because she lacked tact.

But as long as she arouses the emperor's "interest", Zhen Huan can rise to the top and she can also take advantage of it, so naturally the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

"Anyway, anyway..."

Seeing that An Lingrong didn't seem to care at all, Shen Meizhuang moved her lips slightly and wanted to talk to her again.

An Lingrong held Shen Meizhuang's hand and interrupted her, then said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. But Sister Mei is so smart, I think she also knew that something was wrong before, right?"

"Um……"

Shen Meizhuang's thoughts were distracted by An Lingrong's words. At this moment, she also thought about the Queen Mother's abnormal attitude towards Zhen Huan. After thinking for a while, she said, "The Queen Mother seems to be a little strange about Huan'er?"

After all, this was in Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager's palace, so Shen Meizhuang spoke in a very low voice. Fortunately, An Lingrong was right next to her, so she was able to hear every word of what she said.

"Yes, I am also confused. This is obviously Sister Huan's first time to meet the Queen Mother, and she has always behaved properly and has never been rude. How could this result be caused?"

An Lingrong first analyzed it seriously, but she was looking around with her peripheral vision.

After making sure that no one was around, An Lingrong said, "Everything happens for a reason. I think we will eventually find out. The Queen Mother is talking to the Emperor right now, so we can't disturb her. Sister Huan said she went with Aunt Sun to get the inkstone, but she never came back. I'm worried. Why don't we go look for her?"

"Ah."

Although Shen Meizhuang felt that nothing would happen to Zhen Huan in Shoukang Palace, she felt uneasy after hearing An Lingrong's words, so she nodded and agreed to An Lingrong's suggestion.

Shen Meizhuang naturally knew more about Shoukang Palace than An Lingrong.

So, under the leadership of Shen Meizhuang, they headed towards the warehouse.

"My two young masters, where are you going?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Sun Zhuxi, who had been nowhere to be seen, suddenly came out from nowhere and called out to An Lingrong and the others.

"Aunt Sun!"

Shen Meizhuang was startled when she heard Sun Zhuxi's sudden voice. When she came to her senses, she saw the other person standing under a big tree not far from them, looking at her with a smile. She hurried over.

"We saw that you and Wan Changzai hadn't come back yet, so we were planning to go to the warehouse to look for you."

Shen Meizhuang explained why she and An Lingrong were here, and then looked at Sun Zhuxi suspiciously.

No one knew where this Aunt Sun came from, but Zhen Huan was not by Sun Zhuxi's side. It was really strange!

"I see, my lord, don't worry."

Sun Zhuxi nodded to Shen Meizhuang, indicating that she understood, and then said, "I and Wan Changzai went to the storehouse to look for inkstones according to the Queen Mother's instructions. When we came back, we saw that the Emperor had arrived. We were afraid of disturbing the conversation between the Emperor and the Queen Mother, so we waited outside."

"Then may I ask Aunt Sun, where is Wan Changzai now?"

An Lingrong asked Sun Zhuxi.

When Sun Zhuxi was talking to Shen Meizhuang just now, An Lingrong's eyes were fixed on her, but she found that when Shen Meizhuang said that she and others were going to find them, Sun Zhuxi did not show any surprise at all.

Seeing this, An Lingrong felt more confident.

Sun Zhuxi took Zhen Huan away, not only because she got the Queen Mother's secret instructions to avoid the Emperor, but she also wanted to make sure that Zhen Huan would not show up before the Emperor left!

"Haha, Miss Wan is a little tired, so I took her to the side hall to rest."

Sun Zhuxi answered with a smile, and then took the initiative to say: "The two young ladies have a deep friendship with Wan Changzai, so it is normal for them to be concerned about each other. Why don't you just follow me!"

These words made Shen Meizhuang very interested, because she knew that Sun Zhuxi was the Queen Mother's confidant.

Sun Zhuxi did this probably because he received a request from the Queen Mother.

It was impossible for them to go back right now, so they might as well do as Sun Zhuxi said. At least they could see Zhen Huan!

Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong, waiting for her reaction before answering Sun Zhuxi.

"Then I'll trouble you, auntie."

An Lingrong nodded slightly towards Shen Meizhuang, and then bowed to Sun Zhuxi.

"You are too polite, young masters."

Sun Zhuxi smiled slightly and brought them to the side hall where Zhen Huan was.

Just as Sun Zhuxi said, Zhen Huan seemed to be extremely tired, and at this moment she was leaning on a small table and sleeping soundly.

"Huan'er, Huan'er!"

Shen Meizhuang walked forward and tried to wake Zhen Huan up, but unfortunately it was of no use.

"My lady, please let Wan Changzai have a good sleep."

Sun Zhuxi waited for Shen Meizhuang to call out twice before interrupting her, "Wan Changzai looks tired, it's okay for her to rest here."

After saying this, Sun Zhuxi glanced at An Lingrong, and seeing that she was indifferent, she said, "The two young ladies, please take a rest here for a while. I have been away from the Queen Mother for a long time, but I have to go and see her. If the Queen Mother wants to see you, I will come and invite you!"

After saying this, Sun Zhuxi bowed.

"Thank you very much!" Shen Meizhuang naturally would not stop him, but watched Sun Zhuxi walk out of the side hall.

"Huan'er, wake up!"

As soon as Sun Zhuxi left, Shen Meizhuang stared at Zhen Huan for a while, and suddenly an indescribable feeling arose in her heart, and she began to call Zhen Huan again.

"Sister Mei, you don't have to shout. Sister Huan won't wake up for a while."

And at this moment, An Lingrong, who had been silent since a while ago, said this.

After these words were spoken, Shen Meizhuang stood there in a daze, looking at her with confusion.

An Lingrong didn't say much, just said: "If I'm not mistaken, Sister Wan's 'great fortune' is about to come!"
