There were only three people left in the hall.

An Lingrong sighed deeply, and without caring about her image, she leaned back and lay on the couch.

"Sister, I might be in danger!!"

"What!" This sentence stunned Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang!

"You hastily changed your words after I interrupted you. I'm afraid the Queen has noticed something and my disguise has been seen through by her!"

"The Queen is a thoughtful person. If she knew you were involved in this..." Zhen Huan couldn't continue!

"Either win me over," An Lingrong sat up, "or kill me."

Shen Meizhuang stood up anxiously, "How dare she..."

"Sister, don't forget, I'm just a weak concubine who doesn't enjoy the favor of the emperor. She can kill me with just one bowl of medicine."

An Lingrong was a little depressed. She was really fed up with this era where one's destiny was in the hands of others.

"Sisters, there may be some undercurrents in the Yanxi Palace these days, so don't go there!"

Shen Meizhuang didn't expect that she would bring danger to An Lingrong. She said anxiously, "It's precisely because of the danger that we have to go with you!"

Zhen Huan nodded.

"Sister, if the Queen wants to deal with me, even if I'm tricked, you guys can stay out of it and take care of me. Moreover, if we're all together, the Queen will know that we've seen through her thoughts, and I'm afraid she'll be even more wary of us!"

"But……"

"Don't worry, sister. I can protect myself." An Lingrong comforted her.

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "The Queen is very likely to win you over. After all, she also wants to defeat Concubine Hua. If anything happens to you, we will be completely at odds with her. She doesn't dare to take that risk! Besides, she doesn't have anyone capable at her disposal right now, so winning you over is her best option."

"How is she going to win me over?" An Lingrong murmured, recalling the plot of the TV series, "A plot to sow discord!"

"From now on, if you hear any rumors, you must ask me first before taking them into account."

"Don't worry, I won't listen to or believe a word anyone says." Shen Meizhuang blamed herself. If she hadn't been careless and spoken carelessly, An Lingrong wouldn't have exposed herself.

Seeing her pale face and the guilt-filled look she gave him, An Lingrong sat down beside her and gently rested her head on her shoulder. "Don't worry, sister. I know you want to protect me under your wings, but things don't always go as planned. We can only deal with it as it comes."

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere in the palace, An Lingrong brought up another matter, "Sister Zhen, Concubine Chun moved out of Suiyuxuan to avoid illness. Now that you're well again, will she come back?"

This Fang Chunyi was the key figure in the rift between Zhen Huan and An Lingrong in their previous life.

"That's unknown, but she's been coming here more frequently lately!"

"If anything happens, I will send Su Ye to find my two sisters. No one else can be trusted except her." There are still the Queen's people in the Yanx Palace!

The two of them left Suiyuxuan hand in hand.

Shen Meizhuang's grip tightened. An Lingrong felt pain but didn't let go. "Sister, sister."

Shen Meizhuang came to her senses and quickly let go of her hand, but An Lingrong held on tightly again, "Don't worry, sister!"

"Rong'er, you have three days to go. If the Empress doesn't summon you to Jingren Palace within three days, I will ask the Emperor to move you to Xianfu Palace. I will bear the Empress's punishment with you."

If there is no movement from the Queen within three days, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until things calm down before taking action.

"Okay!" An Lingrong was very touched.

In Jingren Palace.

The queen sat on the couch with a gloomy face, and Jianqiu fanned her carefully.

The palace maid tiptoed in and picked up the broken pieces of teacup on the ground.

"What a Concubine Wen! I thought she was a docile little lamb, but she turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. I really underestimated her!"

The queen mobilized her spies in the palace and soon reported the results of the investigation.

From the Thousand Carp Pond to Yu's poisoning, and then to today's mung bean soup incident, An Lingrong was involved in every one of them.

She prided herself on having seen countless people and having a keen eye for talent, but unexpectedly, she was deceived by a mere maid!

Jianqiu replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, why should you be angry? After all, she is an unfavored concubine. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, just deal with it."

"It's not easy at all. Concubine Hua has suppressed me so much that I can't even raise my head. If I fall out with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang again, I'm afraid I'll be attacked from all sides and won't be able to deal with everything!" The Queen's voice was cold. Before Concubine Hua could suppress her, Shen Meizhuang appeared again.

"Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang are just minor nobles. What future can Wen Changzai have by following them? She is still just a Changzai. If Your Majesty is willing to reward her with some small rewards, wouldn't she be willing to work for Your Majesty wholeheartedly?" Jianqiu said disdainfully.

The queen had an idea.

The talents under his command are dwindling, Concubine Qi is no longer useful, Noble Lady Fucha seems stupid, and Concubine Chun is still young and has limited role to play, so he needs to add new people!

The lights went out and Jingren Palace fell into darkness.

In the Yanx Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received orders from Su Peisheng and sent plenty of ice, so the palace was very cool, but An Lingrong was lying on the bed and had difficulty falling asleep.

In the past two days, after paying her respects to the Queen, she immediately returned to the Yanx Palace and did not speak to anyone else.

"My lady, I saw Xiao Shi hanging around far away outside the Yanx Palace." Su Ye reported.

An Lingrong knew that Sister Mei was worried and sent him to watch from a distance.

But the Queen is really patient, it has been two days!

On the third day, An Lingrong returned to the palace. Did the Queen really want to get rid of this incompetent military advisor once and for all?
