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

"Sister Wen, there's no need to leave in a hurry. My sister and I have similar personalities, and I really want to chat with you."

Since Zhen Huan agreed to hand over the handkerchief to Zhen Yuandao, An Lingrong asked Rendong to tell Zhen Huan in detail what happened in her family that year so that Zhen Yuandao would have a direction to investigate.

After everything was made clear, she thanked Zhen Huan and wanted to leave, but was stopped.

An Lingrong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. In her previous life, Zhen Huan was her idol. She had been jealous of her all her life, always thinking about competing with her, and finally lost her original intention.

In this life, she no longer wanted to live under the shadow of anyone else. Instead, she got a similar personality. She smiled at Zhen Huan:

"My sister is not worthy of my elder sister's words. We are of the same nature. My intention to help you out of trouble was not pure. Today, I am asking for a favor. What we have is just a deal."

Zhen Huan is now trying to find allies to deal with Concubine Hua, but Concubine Duan has been avoiding her. Although Concubine Jing agrees to help, her strategies are limited. Sister Mei is too upright and honest, so many things are hard to be told to her. Concubine Cao, the person she wants to persuade to rebel the most, sees her as a scourge. Just when she is suffering from the lack of a think tank, An Lingrong comes to visit.

Zhen Huan used to think that she was deep-minded and was afraid of being taken advantage of, but now she feels that this is a good thing. At least she is sharp and smart, and can find clues from the subtleties. If she can help her deal with Concubine Hua, she might be able to find Concubine Hua's flaws and succeed.

Zhen Huan no longer hides her feelings from the smart person and directly asks An Lingrong: "Sister Wen, don't you hate her?"

Hua Fei? In her previous life, when Hua Fei humiliated An Lingrong, she was so angry that she wanted to die. She even secretly performed witchcraft to curse Hua Fei, which turned out to be the first step for her to fall into the trap of the Queen. After Hua Fei died, she secretly celebrated for many days.

In this life, after she was favored by the emperor, Concubine Hua had people humiliate her in public and tortured her to embroider a sutra pillar. Later, she treated her like a maid and ordered her to hit her legs and shoulders. In her heart, she resented Concubine Hua for being domineering and ostentatious and not treating her like a human being at all, but she did not hate her. As a dying person, she could just endure it and even gain a good reputation of being tolerant from the emperor.

Hearing Zhen Huan asking this, she understood that Zhen Huan was anxious to recruit comrades. Judging from the situation, the Emperor must have said something to her, which made her so impatient. However, An Lingrong did not want to get involved in Concubine Hua's mess from beginning to end. She pretended to be confused and asked Zhen Huan:

"Who is Sister Wan referring to?"

Zhen Huan didn't expect An Lingrong to be able to endure all the humiliation that Concubine Hua had given her in the past. Seeing that she couldn't empathize with her, she tried to bribe her: "Sister Wen is very patient, and no one can compare to her. Although you are knowledgeable, life in the palace is changeable, and sometimes it's always good to have more people around you."

An Lingrong repeated what she had said when she rejected Concubine Hua's solicitation: "Sister Wan is so beautiful that she can captivate the whole country. She is like a rare and famous flower that has a towering tree to shelter it from the wind and rain, and a craftsman to take good care of it. With such unique conditions, there is naturally no shortage of flowers and plants that depend on it. Lingrong is like a wild flower in a crack in the wall. She only wants a little sunlight to grow and to be able to live freely in the world. So no matter it is wind, frost, rain or snow, Lingrong will endure it."

Zhen Huan had not expected her to be so resilient and had such a strong character. She actually overestimated her. She did not force her if she failed to win her over. "Since Sister Wen said so, I will not force you. I just hope that Sister Wen can get what she wants. However, if the weather outside is too bad, you can ask me to help you resist it."

This was Zhen Huan's prime time, and An Lingrong would not expose her inner thoughts, so she could only thank her again before leaving Bitong Academy.

After An Lingrong left, Zhen Huan read the contents of the handkerchief again. Jing Xi was really worried that she had been tricked by An Lingrong, so she stepped forward to ask:

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Zhen Huan handed her the handkerchief with a pale face. Jin Xi took it and looked at it carefully, and her ribs ached with anger:

"There are such beasts in the world who enjoy torturing and killing innocent girls, and even have the powerful to protect them. They are worse than beasts."

Zhen Huan, however, has a different opinion: "It is true that Song Shizeng was recommended by Prince Dun, but Prince Dun probably didn't know that his son teamed up with the son of a wealthy businessman to harm a woman. It's just that the Song family borrowed Prince Dun's power to prevent local officials from investigating strictly."

Jingxi thought about it carefully and thought that it was possible that the subordinates were just bullying others. She commented on An Lingrong, "Madam Wenpin is really patient. She only took this thing out today. However, this thing is beneficial to Master Zhen."

Although Zhen Huan said she would let her father investigate the matter, she did not believe An Lingrong's words. She was still guessing An Lingrong's true intentions: "I always thought I could read people's minds accurately, but I failed to see through Wenpin's mind several times. If she wanted to tell the emperor about this matter, with her favor, the emperor would definitely investigate it. When she has made contributions, she will get more rewards. But she handed the matter over to my father. I thought she wanted to make friends with me through this matter, but I didn't expect that she had no such intention. Jingxi, what do you think she is looking for in the palace?"

Jin Xi thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Women in the harem seek favor, children, and family. Concubine Wen also seeks these things. I'm afraid she just hid them so deeply that people can't easily notice them."

Zhen Huan folded the handkerchief again, stood up and went to the desk: "Forget it, her intentions will be revealed in the long run. I will write a letter and ask Doctor Wen to come in tomorrow to check Ping's pulse and bring the things to father, asking him to act with caution."

An Lingrong, who was being speculated by them, had nothing to do at this time and was preparing to take Rendong on a night tour of the Old Summer Palace.

Ren Dong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to An Lingrong several times. When she looked up again, the tears in her eyes had not disappeared. "My Majesty, I am not good at speaking and I don't know what to say to repay your kindness. From now on, if you have any instructions, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

An Lingrong gently tapped her forehead, which was red from knocking her head, and gently scolded her, "Why would I ask you to go through fire and water? Hurry up and get up. You kowtowed so hard just now that I am dizzy."

Ren Dong knew that An Lingrong said this because she didn't want her to feel too burdened with the thought of repaying her gratitude. She remembered An Lingrong's kindness even more in her heart, so she obediently got up from the ground and said with a simple smile:

"My strength is a bit too much. If you feel dizzy, I will carry you back and send Doctor Zhou to take a look at you."

An Lingrong glared at her and said, "You mischievous ghost, let's go!"

The croaking of frogs and the gentle night wind made An Lingrong want to soar into the sky. Just as she was enjoying the rare tranquility, a low voice came from the rockery behind her:

"Empress Wenpin, is that you?"

At the voice of the Fourth Prince, An Lingrong quickly responded:

"Brother, come here quickly."

When the Fourth Prince found out that she recognized his voice, he was delighted and wanted to jump out, but then he changed his mind and pretended to be calm and walked out slowly.

"Why is Brother here?"
