If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

When the emperor arrived at Changchun Xianguan, all the concubines except Concubine Wan, who had a miscarriage, were already there. Even Concubine Duan, who had been ill for a long time, looked much rosier. After the emperor sat down, he waved his hand to avoid everyone's greetings and looked at the queen and said, "What is the matter that you called me here for?"

"Your Majesty, I called you here to tell you about the matter of the blood swallows and the miscarriage of Concubine Wan, and also to talk to everyone about returning to the palace in a few days." The queen smiled gently, looking like she wanted to save some trouble, but in fact she just wanted to watch the show.

After the Queen finished speaking, she saw the Emperor hesitate and then nodded, so she continued, "Jiang Fuhai."

Jiang Fuhai came in first to pay his respects to the Emperor and Empress, and then bowed to everyone. After a while, several eunuchs followed him and escorted in a young eunuch and a young palace maid. Although they were not dirty, they were as limp as dead dogs. They had been beaten by the Ministry of Punishment and could not be seen in human form. Jiang Fuhai said, "Your Majesty, this young eunuch is from Bitong Academy. He admitted that he bribed the palace maids of Xianyue Pavilion to replace the blood swallows sent to the palace by Concubine Shen's family with blood swallows with red flowers added."

"It seems that Concubine Wan wants to kill two birds with one stone. If the blood swallow is not given away, Concubine Shen will have a miscarriage after taking it. If it is given away, Concubine Jing will also have a miscarriage. It's really a good plan." Concubine Hua pouted. She has disliked Zhen Huan for a long time, and she must seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"That's not the case. Although this young eunuch is from Bitong Academy, his master is not necessarily Concubine Wan." Concubine Xin seemed to be speaking for Concubine Wan at this time, but her words sounded more like confirming Concubine Hua's words.

"Yes, many people pointed out yesterday that this little eunuch had entered and left Qingliang Palace many times." Jiang Fuhai's voice rang out just after Xin Changzai finished speaking.

Everyone was speechless when they heard this, and Lingrong was stunned. She had no feelings about what happened before, after all, who would be surprised by something they already knew? But she was surprised when she heard the latter part. She looked at Concubine Hua, and although Concubine Hua's expression was angry, she was still calm.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Concubine Hua stopped pretending to be calm, "Your Majesty, I do know about this." She looked up at the emperor sitting above, and seeing that the emperor was drinking tea without saying anything, Concubine Hua continued, "A few days ago, Zhou Ninghai reported to me that many broken porcelain and other items in my palace were lost. I didn't take it seriously at first, after all, those broken cups, plates and dishes were to be sent to the Zhijian Division, so I just asked Zhou Ninghai to check in the Qingliang Palace first. Yesterday, Zhou Ninghai reported that he had caught the traitor."

When Concubine Hua said this, everyone looked at her. Noblewoman Fucha was confused by Concubine Hua. "Madam Hua, does this have anything to do with the blood swallow incident?"

Concubine Hua was waiting for this question. She continued, "Isn't it true? Zhou Ninghai caught the young eunuch and interrogated him, and found out that it was the young eunuch from Bitong Academy who bribed him to dump the broken porcelain out of Qingliang Palace. This happened more than two months ago."

Lingrong could hear that what Hua Fei meant was that Zhen Huan had started to arrange this matter more than two months ago, not long after she arrived at Yuanmingyuan. Everyone in the palace was not a fool, and Lingrong could understand what others understood too.

After a long while, the emperor spoke slowly, "Did Concubine Wan instruct him to do this?"

Jiang Fuhai bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, this little eunuch has not yet confirmed that the person who ordered him was Lady Wan."

Hearing the emperor's question, the queen knew that the emperor did not want to deal with Concubine Wan this time, so she gave the emperor a way out. "Since it is not clear that Concubine Wan was the instigator, then Concubine Wan cannot be convicted. Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is still in Xiaoyue. How do you think this should be handled?"
