If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

In the Changchun Fairy House, the queen stood by the window and practiced calligraphy as usual. The word "Fu" she wrote was very round. Recently, she no longer paid attention to the struggles in the harem. It seemed that her life was more comfortable, and her calligraphy made her more satisfied.

"Your Majesty," Jianqiu stood beside the desk and interrupted the Queen's calligraphy practice. The Queen frowned in displeasure.

"What's wrong?" she asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, Huanbi, who is beside Concubine Wan, is having an affair with Concubine Cao." Jianqiu whispered in the Queen's ear.

The Queen frowned and looked at Jian Qiu. It was really surprising that these two people were hooking up with each other. "How did you find out?"

"It was Baojuan who discovered this." Jianqiu said with a smile. This is a case of one thing making another bright. Baojuan, as a chess piece, failed to win over Concubine Jing, but did get the leverage over Concubine Wan.

"Baojuan? I remember she was by Concubine Jing's side." The Queen didn't understand why Baojuan was still looking at Zhen Huan.

"That's right. At first, Your Majesty wanted to win over Concubine Jing. Later, Concubine Jing may have realized that Baojuan had ulterior motives, so she was demoted to a second-class maid serving outside the palace. Then we no longer had to care about Baojuan." The Queen didn't understand how this had anything to do with what she discovered about Zhen Huan's surroundings.

"That day when Concubine Wan went to Concubine Jing's place, Baojuan smelled a strange fragrance on Huanbi's body outside. She remembered the unusual smell more clearly. At first she thought it was Concubine Wan's incense. Later, after she smelled it carefully, she found that no one around Concubine Wan had such a smell." Jianqiu said to the queen with an attitude of watching the fun and not afraid of trouble.

The Queen was still puzzled, "Then how did you know it was Concubine Cao?"

"That's a coincidence. When she went to the Imperial Household Department, she met the maidservant beside Concubine Cao and she also had this smell on her. After she asked, she found out that it was the honey incense used by Concubine Cao." Jianqiu explained.

"Honey Fragrance? Wasn't this the fragrance that the Emperor gave to Concubine Wan? Did Concubine Wan give it to Concubine Cao?" The Queen was puzzled. Zhen Huan was very proud and usually disdained to win over people like Concubine Cao. Why would she give her Honey Fragrance? Could it be that the two of them were in collusion with each other?

"Could it be that Concubine Wan and Concubine Cao are colluding with each other?" Jianqiu also became suspicious after hearing the Queen's words.

"What is it that requires Concubine Wan and Concubine Cao to collude with each other? Concubine Cao just set Concubine Wan up at Princess Wen Yi's birthday party not long ago. With her personality, she will not let Concubine Cao off so easily." The Queen analyzed calmly. Although she is not participating in the harem struggle now, she still needs to analyze these things calmly, so as to avoid being directed at herself without knowing it.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that Zhen Huan wanted to deal with Concubine Hua? As everyone knows, Concubine Cao is Concubine Hua's military advisor, so Zhen Huan would bribe Concubine Cao." After years of fighting in the harem, Jian Qiu is still very sensitive to conspiracies.

"By the way, you just said that no one except Huanbi and Suiyuxuan can smell the honey fragrance, right?" The Queen looked at Jianqiu, got her confirmed answer and continued, "Could it be that Huanbi betrayed Zhen Huan?"

"That can't be possible. Huanbi was brought into the palace by Zhen Huan from the Zhen family." Jianqiu looked at the Queen in disbelief. She didn't know if her guess was right, but she always felt that what the Queen said was not very reliable.

"Jianqiu, tell people to keep an eye on Huanbi, and don't leak the matter of Mihexiang to Concubine Hua." After hearing what the Queen said, Jianqiu instantly understood what she meant. The Queen didn't want to get involved in these messy things, but she didn't want to let them have an easy time either.
