The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the candlelight flickered.

The emperor was worried that Zhen Huan would be too frightened and fall ill again, so he placed her in the western warm room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation until a new palace was chosen.

"Huan'er, are you asleep? I came in to see you." After listening to Su Peisheng's report, the emperor came directly to find Zhen Huan.

At this time, Zhen Huan was lying weakly on the bed, staring at the bed curtain in a daze. When she heard the emperor's question, she signaled to Jin Xi to welcome the emperor in.

As soon as the emperor came in, Zhen Huan was anxious to know what happened: "Your Majesty, can you tell me the results of the interrogation?"

Seeing her eyes full of self-blame and regret, the Emperor did not intend to hide it from her any longer. "He Ping from the Imperial Kitchen's Pastry Bureau loves gambling. Fei's two young eunuchs have been losing money to him recently, so He Ping has not been so dedicated to his work. When Pei'er from your palace went to get the stuffing yesterday, He Ping went to gamble with dice. Xiao Yinzi, who served Fei, helped him with his work. Because the stuffing needed to be made on the spot, he called He Ping back and even deliberately helped him in the middle of the process. He mixed a packet of powder into the stuffing when no one was paying attention. After Pei'er left, Qixiang Palace also went to ask for rose bean paste stuffing."

"Fei had been planning this for a long time, but he just found the opportunity yesterday."

Zhen Huan: "Does that little Yinzi know that it is poison?"

The emperor shook his head gently: "When Fei gave it to him, she just said it was croton powder. Because she had an old grudge against you, she wanted to make you suffer a little."

"Your Majesty, have you found out where this poison came from?"

"The eunuch Chenzi from the purchasing department bought a box of red beans for Madam Fei some time ago. He said it was for making pillows. He brought it into the palace only after checking it was found to be fine. But he didn't expect that someone would take advantage of it."

This answer made Zhen Huan unbelievable: "Your Majesty, I still feel suspicious. The Purchasing Department helps the palace maids carry things, and there are rules and precedents. I dare not bring such poisonous things into the palace. I think buying red beans is unnecessary."

The emperor looked at her who was still as smart as ever and said, "Hanhuan, I have the same idea. I am afraid that this matter is in collusion with the previous dynasty. If such a poison could be put in your food yesterday, it might be put on me or even the queen mother when I am not prepared. I can't feel at ease when I think of this."

Zhen Huan dared not say more about the matter of the previous dynasty: "Your Majesty, I dare not speculate like this."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, the emperor suddenly asked a question that was not related to the matter: "Hanhuan, are you still blaming me? You blame me for not protecting our child."

This is a thorn in their hearts. It hurts to pull it out, but it hurts more if it is not pulled out. Zhen Huan originally wanted to take it slowly and slowly unravel the rift between them after the loss of their child. However, she did not expect Chun Er's tragic death to make her realize that if she did not do something, she would be the one facing the knife next time. She spoke softly:

"The pain of losing a child is even greater for Silang. Thinking back to what Silang told me that day, I feel even more heartbroken. If Huanhuan had stayed away at that time, perhaps this disaster could have been avoided. I failed Silang's trust, so I feel so guilty that I fell ill and missed the time I spent with Silang. I hope Silang will forgive Huanhuan's willfulness that day."

When Zhen Huan said these words against her will, her heart was bleeding, but in order to survive in the palace she had to compromise. After all, there was a long time to come, and there were some grudges that the emperor could not avenge, so she would do it herself.

Zhen Huan's apology made the emperor feel mixed emotions. She was stubborn and arrogant. She had been angry with him for so long because she refused to severely punish Concubine Nian. If it weren't for the sudden change, she and he would never know when they would be able to resolve the rift. Seeing that she thought from beginning to end that it was his willfulness to go to Yikun Palace to save people that led to the loss of the child, the emperor felt even more guilty. He wanted to tell her the real truth, but he swallowed it back and changed his words:

"What's wrong with Huanhuan? It's just that we are not destined to have a child. You and I still have a long time to live together, and we will have both sons and daughters. I just want Huanhuan to be with me safely and for a long time in the future, so that I won't have to worry anymore."

These words pulled back the deliberate alienation from the past period of time. Zhen Huan was moved when she heard the emperor's confession: "Silang, as long as I can stay by your side, Huan Huan has nothing to fear anymore."

The emperor thought of her hesitation just now, and hoped that she could criticize the current situation like before and provide him with different ideas: "Then can Huanhuan speak freely to me?"

Zhen Huan immediately expressed her position: "I will tell you everything I know."

After recounting the past, the Emperor talked about the poisoning again: "Hanhuan, the previous dynasty was unstable. If the harem is in chaos again, I will not be able to rest easy. This time I want to thoroughly investigate the harem and eradicate all those evil tricks to make the harem clean. However, people's hearts are unpredictable. After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be more troubles. I thought that after you get better, you can learn some palace affairs from the Queen, which can also be regarded as sharing my worries."

Zhen Huan is extremely sensitive to the outside world. The emperor wants to share the power of the queen. In the past, she would have refused. But now she is at the mercy of others. She has no power of her own in the palace and it is always difficult for her to move forward. However, she still has to have the right attitude: "I am stupid and I am afraid I can't do it well. Your Majesty, why don't you find someone better."

The emperor was firm in his attitude: "Concubine Duan is often ill. Although Concubine Jing has learned to deal with it, she is a good person and is unwilling to do some things. Concubine Qi is even more short-sighted. Only you are of the same mind as me, and you are smart. You can learn from the side first, and it won't be too late to do the job after you slowly understand it."

This meant that she should gather her strength first, and Zhen Huan agreed immediately: "Then I will give it a try. If there is anything inappropriate, Your Majesty must tell me."

The Emperor naturally agreed to Zhen Huan's request as she had been expressing her feelings for Zhen Huan for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly asked the imperial physician to prepare some sedatives. After watching Zhen Huan take the medicine, he left and went to the back hall to rest.

In Yonghe Palace, An Lingrong frowned in worry.

Honeysuckle stepped forward and asked her quietly, "My lady, are you worried that Xiao Songzi at the shopping center might say something nonsense?"

An Lingrong shook her head: "Have we ever found any prohibited items in our palace? If not, there is no need to worry about Xiao Songzi."

However, she did have a lot of concerns. After this incident, Zhen Huan and the Emperor reconciled ahead of schedule. She didn't know what the situation would be like afterwards and how she should act. Also, where did Li Chang, a woman in the deep palace, get the highly toxic thing? Was her sudden madness really caused by a drastic change in her personality, or was it caused by drugs?

"Rosewood, I always feel that there is an invisible hand in the harem, stirring up trouble. Do you still remember Aunt Chang?"

Honeysuckle recalled: "I remember, I went to check two years ago. Wasn't she a nanny in the knitting department who was about to leave the palace for honor?"

An Lingrong did not agree with this answer in her heart. The emperor's secrets were definitely not something that a nanny working in the knitting department could know. Perhaps this identity was what she wanted others to know, but what about her past?

"Honeysuckle, our foundation was not stable at that time, so it was difficult to dig deeper. Now you go and check again, check Aunt Chang's past, both people and things."

"Also, quietly go to Li Chang's residence at night and find out the pillow or water cup she often uses and give it to me."

After three o'clock in the morning, Honeysuckle returned.
