After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 148: Madam, Please Try It

Zhen Huan sneered, tears streaming down her face.

"My lady, don't I even have the right to be sad?"

When Concubine Hua saw that Zhen Huan's eyes were swollen like walnuts due to crying, she sighed and shook her head.

"No. The emperor is very busy, and he wants the harem to be peaceful and tranquil."

The emperor's impatience and anger just now told Concubine Hua that he could not accept Zhen Huan venting her sadness so unrestrainedly in front of him.

That would make people think that it was his incompetence as the emperor that led to Zhen Huan's situation.

Therefore, Concubine Hua wanted to remind Zhen Huan that even though the pain of losing a child was heart-wrenching, she had to endure it and not show it too much.

"Is the harem peaceful and tranquil?" Zhen Huan murmured these words again and looked up at Concubine Hua, "Your Majesty, I must find out the mastermind behind this!"

Concubine Hua looked into Zhen Huan's eyes, which were full of resentment and hatred.

"An Lingrong was lucky. The plague didn't kill her. If you go see her, you might get the answer you're looking for."

Although Concubine Hua knew that the Queen was the mastermind behind the incident, she couldn't tell Zhen Huan directly.

No matter how morally corrupt the Queen is, she is still the queen of a country. Without solid evidence to inflict a fatal blow on her, once the Queen has a chance to breathe, Zhen Huan will be doubly retaliated against.

How to find out the truth and how to take revenge on the Queen are Zhen Huan's business.

Hua Fei could give her guidance, but she couldn't do it for her.

Zhen Huan was a very smart person. Thinking of the assassination attempt, An Lingrong insisted that she was the mastermind behind the incident, but Zhen Huan didn't believe it.

She didn't investigate further because she thought of the relationship between them as they entered the palace together. In addition, An Lingrong was indeed banished to the cold palace, so Zhen Huan thought there was no need to be aggressive anymore.

But now, her child died just a few days after birth, and she must go to An Lingrong to find out the truth.

The little prince was eventually taken away amid Zhen Huan's heart-wrenching cries and buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Zhen Huan seemed to have lost her life and lay in bed for several days.

Every time the emperor came, he saw her with tears on her face.

At first, the emperor felt distressed, but as it happened more and more times, he became more and more upset.

I might as well not come to see Zhen Huan.

After recuperating for some time, Zhen Huan felt better and went to the cold palace with Shen Meizhuang to see An Lingrong.

"My two ladies, you must come back within one stick of incense. Do not stay too long!" The eunuch in charge of guarding the door instructed Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang.

The two of them thanked him in unison and came to the place where An Lingrong was imprisoned.

As soon as they stepped in, they saw that the room was full of cobwebs and the tables, chairs and window frames were covered with dust.

An Lingrong was sitting on a small couch in the house, doing needlework.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up calmly, thinking that someone was coming to cause trouble for her again, but she saw Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang.

The coldness in her eyes grew stronger.

"What are you two sisters doing here in such a dirty place?" She lowered her head and continued to do her needlework.

Ever since Shen Meizhuang learned from Wen Shichu that the scar-removing gel that An Lingrong gave to Zhen Huan was mixed with musk, she no longer had any feelings for An Lingrong.

Seeing that An Lingrong's attitude was very cold, Shen Meizhuang was too lazy to pretend to be friendly.

"I, Huan'er, came here this time to ask you a few questions."

"I don't know." An Lingrong refused immediately without even waiting for Shen Meizhuang to finish her words.

Shen Meizhuang was a little angry. Zhen Huan grabbed Shen Meizhuang and shook her head at her.

Zhen Huan walked forward, stood in front of An Lingrong, and looked at her indifferently.

An Lingrong felt that she was being watched, so she had to raise her head, just in time to meet Zhen Huan's cold and sharp gaze.

"The scar-removing gel is really good to use. It has a fresh scent and you can hardly smell any musk when you apply it on your body."

Zhen Huan stared into An Lingrong's eyes and spoke word by word.

An Lingrong's hands, which were doing needlework, suddenly stopped.

"Sister, do you know everything?"

"Bang!" An Lingrong's face was hit and tilted to one side.

She slowly turned her head, looked at Zhen Huan, and smiled bitterly.

"Sister, is this why you came here today?"

Zhen Huan did not answer her directly, but looked around and found that the house where An Lingrong was living now was shabby. There was not a single decent chair or table in the house, only a bed that looked relatively clean.

"Even though she lives in a place like this, my sister still refuses to reveal the person behind the scenes. It seems that this person behind the scenes must be someone my sister can trust."

"What person behind the scenes? I don't understand what my sister is talking about."

An Lingrong's eyes flickered and she avoided Zhen Huan's aggressive gaze.

Zhen Huan had already expected that An Lingrong would not admit it. She smiled coldly, "You asked someone to find a connection and ask your backstage person to protect your father. It's a pity..."

"What happened to my father?!" An Lingrong asked Zhen Huan anxiously when she heard it was her father.

Seeing that she was anxious, Zhen Huan said slowly, "Your father was infected with the plague on the way to Ningguta and is in critical condition. I heard that the plague came in an unpredictable way..."

An Lingrong gasped.

"How could this be?"

Seeing that An Lingrong's psychological defenses had been broken, Zhen Huan immediately attacked.

"Tell me who is behind this, and I'll ask Doctor Wen to treat him!"

An Lingrong fell silent again and shook her head helplessly. "What's the point of telling you? You can't beat her!"

Zhen Huan immediately grasped the key point of An Lingrong's words.

"This person is in a high position of power, above you and me, right?" Zhen Huan pressed again.

An Lingrong shook her head, bit her lip tightly and refused to speak again.

When Zhen Huan saw her like this, her guess was confirmed.

"Since you won't tell me, your father will just have to leave it to fate!" Zhen Huan called Shen Meizhuang, flicked her sleeves and left.

An Lingrong was left alone to continue staying in the cold palace.

-

"Your Highness, you guessed correctly! Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui went to see An Lingrong."

Ever since the day when Zhen Huan's eldest son was bitten, Concubine Hua has had people keep an eye on the movements in Sui Yuxuan, for fear that something bad might happen to Zhen Huan.

"It seems that Zhen Huan already knows the answer." Concubine Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the queen's hypocritical mask is torn off, her downfall will not be far away.

Concubine Hua has been feeling better these days, so she no longer lies down.

Thinking that it had been a long time since she had paid her respects to the Queen, Concubine Hua decided to bring some snacks to Jingren Palace.

"Hua Fei, are you here to see me again?"

The Queen was drinking tea and nearly choked on her own saliva.

Thinking of Nian Gengyao's influence in the previous dynasty and the emperor's great favor to her for many years, the queen did not dare to neglect Hua Fei and immediately asked Jianqiu to welcome Hua Fei in.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen!" Concubine Hua knelt down to pay her respects.

Seeing that she was respectful and well-behaved, the Queen felt relieved and asked Concubine Hua to sit down and talk.

After Concubine Hua sat down, she told Songzhi to open an exquisite and beautiful food box and take out the snacks inside.

"The weather is getting hot. This is the mung bean cake I made myself. Your Majesty, please try it!"

The queen looked at the sweetheart brought over by Songzhi, and her heart rose to her throat.
