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

"At this moment, I am not anxious to know who he is. Queen, I want to hear how Concubine Xia caught this ghost."

Hua Fei looked at the man who was brought in and kneeled on the ground with long hair covering his face. She suddenly felt like teasing him. After all, he was not her man, and she was happy to see others worried.

The Queen did not object this time, but instead instructed Xia Dongchun:

"Xia Changzai, please tell me in detail."

Xia Dongchun had never been able to gain the emperor's favor since she entered the palace, and she was always confined for making mistakes. She had had enough of the cold stares and ridicule. Now that she had captured the "ghost" that frightened the entire harem, the depression she had felt for many days was swept away. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Empress, I have long said that someone was playing tricks, but no one believed me, so I wanted to catch the culprit and set things right."

The concubines on both sides were waiting to see the show. An Lingrong was also sighing in her heart. The harem was cruel. Even a reckless person like Xia Dongchun had to learn to plan before taking action.

The mockery on Concubine Hua's face became more and more intense. She glanced at Zhen Huan's panicked expression like a cat catching a mouse, and praised Xia Dongchun with a sweet smile: "Xia Changzai is a brave woman. As expected, she calmed down some people who wanted to stir up trouble by taking advantage of monsters and demons. Keep talking. If you speak well, I will reward you."

Xia Dongchun's smile became even more intense after receiving the praise from Concubine Hua. However, she still remembered the rules she had learned in Jingren Palace, and bowed gently to Concubine Hua: "I don't deserve the praise from Concubine Hua. I just can't stand people deliberately making trouble and deceiving the Empress, so I waited for this ghost in the harem every night. But this thing is really cunning, and he escaped several times, so I went to find a tripwire and a rope net."

Xia Dongchun told the story very well, and even paused at the crucial moment. Concubine Qi was just getting excited and hurriedly urged her: "Hurry up and tell me!"

Seeing someone cheering for her, Xia Dongchun immediately continued excitedly, "Tonight, I found that he had been wandering around the long street. I asked the maid to lead him to the place where I had ambushed him in advance, and I captured him in one fell swoop. This guy must have some skills. When I pulled him out of the rope net, he suddenly threw me to the ground. It took me a lot of effort to subdue him."

After hearing this, the Queen felt relieved and began to praise Xia Dongchun: "Xia Changzai is indeed from a military family. She is brave and resourceful. She is a role model for our generation. You have done a great job tonight. Jianqiu, the Shu Brocade Bureau has received several new batches of Shu brocade. Give them to Xia Changzai to make clothes. When the Emperor comes back, I will report your achievements tonight truthfully."

Xia Dongchun thanked the Empress happily. Concubine Hua's eyes turned and she said, "Xia Changzhi has indeed made a contribution. At least everyone in the palace can sleep well. The Empress has rewarded you. If I don't add something, it would seem that I am stingy. Here, take it. This is a reward from me." As she spoke, she gave Xia Dongchun the bracelet with gold wire and rubies on her hand.

After giving the reward, Concubine Hua pointed at the person who was kneeling on the ground and still resisting and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is in charge of the harem, and you have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Now that the reward is done, let's try to find out who ordered this bastard to do this. How dare he stir up trouble in the harem!"

Zhen Huan was breathing fast, her heart was beating like a drum, her hands were full of cold sweat, how could the plan she had discussed with Jing Xi and others in private be exposed? Was the person on the ground Xiao Yunzi? What should she do to protect him? She wanted to say something to stop the trial, but she couldn't think of any good reason to stop it in front of everyone. She could only watch the Queen let Jiang Fuhai lift up the long hair that had been covering the face of the white-robed man.

Everyone focused their eyes on it. The long hair of the person in white robe was lifted up behind her ears, and everyone finally saw her appearance clearly.

She was a thin woman. Although her cheeks were sunken, the contours between her eyebrows and eyes showed that she was once a beauty.

Zhen Huan's mood went from extremely nervous to completely relaxed. She and Shen Meizhuang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Fortunately, it was not Xiao Yunzi.

An Lingrong took in the two people's rejoicing expressions. She smiled faintly at Zhen Huan. In her previous life, she had always been controlled by others. In this life, she wanted to play chess herself. She still had use for Concubine Li, and she couldn't let Zhen Huan be scared crazy like this, so she had to break Zhen Huan's plan.

The cloth in her mouth was taken away, and the woman who had been quiet all of a sudden went crazy. She tried hard to break free from the hands that were holding her down, and shouted hoarsely: "Kill you, kill you, you all deserve to die, you all deserve to die..."

The queen looked at the crazy woman on the ground, frowned slightly, and her voice was full of anger: "Jiang Fuhai, send Concubine Fang back to the cold palace. Her hysteria has recurred. Find someone to keep an eye on her and don't let her run out and scare people again."

Concubine Hua naturally saw Zhen Huan's abnormal behavior. She thought she could use this incident to punish Zhen Huan, but her plan failed. She glared at Concubine Fang who was struggling on the ground and said unhappily, "Some people are suspicious and have done so many bad things that they were frightened by a lunatic. They made the whole palace restless. It's really a big joke."

Noble Lady Fucha was stunned for a moment. It turned out that there were no ghosts in the world. She was actually frightened by a crazy woman. She had to admit that she was not calm enough and had made such a big joke. She must never do this again in the future.

Concubine Qi said stupidly, "Aren't you going to interrogate her?"

Concubine Hua retorted, "Are you stupid? He's a madman, how can we judge him? No normal person would bother with a madman."

The Queen looked unhappy and told everyone: "A gentleman should not talk about strange things. The Emperor has always opposed the idea of ​​ghosts and gods. You, as concubines, have spread rumors and encouraged the spread of rumors, causing unrest in the entire harem. Now it is clear that the so-called ghost is just a mad noble. After this incident, everyone should remember not to over-speculate on anything. You should believe what you see. Pass on my order that the ghost is nonsense. It is the noble in the cold palace who is causing trouble. Each palace maid should do her job. Anyone who dares to make any irresponsible comments will be punished according to the palace rules."

Everyone heard the queen's warning and quickly knelt down to say yes. The queen nagged them again before letting everyone leave. This absurd farce ended here.

Zhen Huan's mood was up and down all night, and she almost fell when she got up from the ground. An Lingrong, who was squatting behind her, helped her up unnoticeably. After going out, Zhen Huan quietly thanked An Lingrong, and An Lingrong gave her a meaningful smile.

Everyone on the long street was laughing and talking about tonight's farce. Zhen Huan had something on her mind, so she hurried back to Sui Yu Xuan with Shen Meizhuang. As soon as they entered the room, Cui Jinxi came forward with an anxious look on her face to greet them:

"My lord, something happened to Xiao Yunzi."
