An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

"Your Majesty, the news from Suiyuxuan is that He Chang asked Liu Zhu to pass a letter to Minister Zhen in the dark last night, saying that he wanted to ask Minister Zhen for clues about his relatives."

"Liu Zhu turned around and handed the letter to Concubine Wan to deal with..."

"Xiao Yunzi is guarding the main hall strictly. It is not clear what Empress Wan Fei and Cui Jinxi are planning inside."

"Also, there's news coming from the Yangxin Palace. The news that Suiyuxuan has invited Imperial Physician Wen to treat a patient has spread outside the palace."

A lot of information was received today, and Bao Ge reported it one by one in an orderly manner.

"I know."

An Lingrong tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingertips as she pondered over what had happened in Suiyuxuan.

Huanbi once cried to Liuzhu, saying that she was the only one who was alone and helpless in the palace.

What about Zhen Yuandao, Zhen Huan and Zhen Yurao?

She gave the letter to Zhen Yuandao without telling Zhen Huan, so the content of the letter must be complicated.

An Lingrong thought of Concubine Qi who lived with her in Suiyuxuan. Her clever words must have caused Huanbi a lot of trouble.

Zhen Yuandao is the boss of Concubine Qi's father, E Min. Huanbi avoids Zhen Huan and contacts him privately with only one purpose - to take advantage of Zhen Yuandao's power.

But the letter eventually fell into Zhen Huan's hands, and Huanbi's wish might be difficult to realize.

An Lingrong is currently unable to guess how Zhen Huan will handle the matter of Huanbi.

Zhen Huan was having a secret conversation with Cui Jinxi, and Xiao Yunzi was guarding outside the door. It was very likely that Cui Jinxi would be in charge of this matter.

"Bao Ge, tell our people to keep a close eye on Cui Jinxi's movements and see if she shows any abnormality."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Emperor will also send people to secretly monitor Sui Yuxuan."

Since the emperor's men were watching secretly, she didn't need to risk exposing her own people to find out what Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi were planning.

In her previous life, she witnessed with her own eyes the emperor's favor towards Zhen Huan. Even the empress and Concubine Hua had to avoid her because of his favor.

Although she was not favored to the extent that she ignored other people in this life, An Lingrong believed that no one could replace Queen Chunyuan's position in the emperor's heart.

Queen Chunyuan, who was talented, beautiful, gentle and kind, died in the year when the emperor loved her the most. This is a point that no one later could surpass.

As long as Zhen Huan, who bears some resemblance to Queen Chunyuan, does not cross the emperor's bottom line, she will not be completely rejected.

All An Lingrong could do was to gradually break the emperor's fantasy about Zhen Huan.

Three days later, news finally came from the Yangxin Palace that the emperor did not openly send anyone to monitor Suiyuxuan.

This means that the emperor has secretly arranged people.

On her way to the Imperial Hospital to invite Wen Shichu again, Bai Zhi happened to meet a strange palace maid.

The other person's words were as sweet as honey, and she kept calling Baizhi "sister".

Just when Bai Zhi was confused, the other party quickly whispered: "Surveillance is terminated, take care of yourself."

After she finished speaking, she continued chatting with Bai Zhi, as if the eight words just now had nothing to do with her.

The spring breeze blew on her face, but Baizhi didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.

Before the two parted, Bai Zhi took the opportunity to tell the other party about her discoveries of the past few days.

"Your Majesty, after Miss Liuzhu fell ill, Cui Jinxi replaced her to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect supplies."

"She used the excuse that Concubine Wan was pregnant and couldn't stand being hungry, and bought an extra jar of lard and a basket of dry pine branches from the greedy servant."

"Our people learned this from the palace servants who were accompanying us to move things."

"What's strange is that the lard and pine branches she paid for were not sent to the kitchen, but were placed in the warehouse instead."

An Lingrong pondered the connection between lard and pine branches, but couldn't figure it out for a moment.

She quickly called Baoge, who was in charge of the small kitchen.

"Do you know the connection between lard and pine branches?"

"Your Majesty, it's difficult to start a fire in winter. Before I light a fire, I usually wrap some spoiled lard on pine branches."

Although Bao Ge didn't know why the Empress asked this, she still answered truthfully.

"You mean lard helps with combustion?"

An Lingrong stood up suddenly, as if she had guessed the intentions of Zhen Huan and her servant.

They planned to set fire to the Suiyuxuan to deal with Huanbi who lived in the west wing.

Considering the relationship between Huanbi and the Zhen family, An Lingrong speculated that Zhen Huan wanted to use the fire to drive Huanbi out of Suiyuxuan.

There was once a fire in Suiyuxuan, which turned Nian Shilan of Yikun Palace into Nian Yingding.

She still remembers the heartbreaking oath she made to the sky that she did not set the fire.

But in the face of witnesses and physical evidence, the emperor simply refused to listen to her explanation.

With a loud "bang", Concubine Hua fell in front of her with blood all over her face. An Lingrong was so shocked that she sat up and spoke in doubt.

"What time is it now?"

"My Lord, it's just past the hour of Mao."

Baoque originally came to wake up his master.

An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the familiar voice.

"Help me wash up."

The dream just now was so real that An Lingrong could hardly tell which was reality and which was a dream.

No matter what this dream meant, she decided to remind Concubine Hua not to fall into the trap set by Zhen Huan.

"Songzhi, what did you say? Zhen Huan wants to frame me?"

Concubine Hua, who was holding the goose's neck and throwing it away, asked in disbelief.

"Master, this is what Concubine Shu reminded me of."

"She asked you not to openly clash with Suiyuxuan in the near future."

Songzhi felt that the words conveyed by Concubine Shu this time were somewhat puzzling.

Concubine Hua entered the palace late and did not know what Queen Chunyuan looked like.

She was also strong-willed and impatient to interact with others, so the other elderly people who knew the truth kept silent.

Those old palace servants who knew the truth would not gossip in front of her.

It was normal for the master and servant to find An Lingrong's reminder strange.

After all, Concubine Hua once loved the emperor wholeheartedly, and An Lingrong couldn't bear to let her know the truth.

"Zhen Huan is a bitch. What right does she have to frame me?"

Concubine Hua glared angrily.

An Lingrong never had any intention of harming her, so she did not doubt the source of the news.

Songzhi stepped forward trembling with fear, supported the staggering empress, and whispered a reminder in her ear.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has taken your sedan chair and given it to the pregnant Concubine Wan..."

"I suspect Sui Yuxuan must have found something in the sedan chair."

"She doesn't dare to complain to the man in Shoukang Palace, so she can only blame you for this."

"That thing wasn't mine, why should it be counted on me?"

Concubine Hua ran to the front hall angrily.

Nian Shilan would never sit and wait for death in Yiku Palace. She was heartbroken and unwilling to pin her hopes on the emperor.
