Baojuan directly reported to the Queen that Concubine Qi was going to harm An Lingrong's throat, and the Queen was furious when she heard it.

Imperial Concubine Xi was aiming for the position of empress. Just when the three of them were working together to fight against Imperial Concubine Xi, Concubine Qi came out to hold them back.

The Queen called Concubine Qi over and gave her a good scolding, and also fined Concubine Qi half a year's monthly salary.

In order to appease An Lingrong, the Queen gave her some cloth and jewelry as a reward.

After being scolded by the Queen, Concubine Qi was very dissatisfied, but she did not do anything else.

Concubine Qi did not take action against An Lingrong again, but Zhen Huan did, and Concubine Qi was soon demoted to a noble lady.

Zhen Huan also asked Concubine Xin to collect evidence of An Bihuai's crimes in advance, as Zhen Huan knew how filial An Lingrong was.

Otherwise, she would not have used this opportunity to persuade An Lingrong to compete for favor and let An Lingrong stand in front of her to resist Concubine Hua's anger.

Zhen Huan always thought that she had given a lot, but An Lingrong had not given her anything in return.

But from Baojuan's perspective as an observer, when An Lingrong first entered the palace, she really tried her best to repay him.

Zhen Huan knew that Concubine Duan wanted Wen Yi, that Concubine Jing wanted a child, and she also knew that what An Lingrong wanted most was respect from others.

But Zhen Huan looked down on An Lingrong from the bottom of her heart, and asked Huanbi to be her mouthpiece to humiliate and bully An Lingrong.

An Lingrong was a thoughtful person to begin with, and with Baojuan's encouragement, she had already repaid the favor she should have, but Zhen Huan just didn't think so.

Even though An Lingrong had blood on her hands, she killed Yu, who had refused to die, for Zhen Huan, eliminating Zhen Huan's biggest worry.

Zhen Huan also did not think that An Lingrong had repaid her gratitude. She only told Mei Zhuang that An Lingrong was cruel and did not acknowledge An Lingrong's efforts.

Zhen Huan used some tricks to win over An Lingrong and make her her pawn and human shield.

An Lingrong blocked Concubine Hua's wrath for Zhen Huan. After Zhen Huan achieved her goal, she attributed it all to An Lingrong's desire to win favor and said that she did not force An Lingrong.

In fact, it would be better for An Lingrong to just admit what Zhen Huan said about being ungrateful.

Even the emperor and the empress dowager were people who would burn bridges after crossing them. As long as their own interests were harmed, they would immediately find a way to get rid of that person, regardless of any previous favors.

In today's dynasty, using small favors to control others is the survival instinct of young ladies from official families.

After doing a favor, one hopes to make the person loyal. If this person becomes successful one day, he will support the person who did the favor.

If this person does not make any progress, he will have to sacrifice his life to become a knife for the person who shows kindness.

Zhen Huan's clever words always confuse right and wrong. If she gives you a bucket of rice, you have to pay her back for your whole life. If you are kidnapped by her in your heart, then your life is really over.

There was no room for any favored concubines around Zhen Huan, let alone Concubine Hua. If Shen Meizhuang had not died, Zhen Huan would not have had such a deep sisterly relationship with Shen Meizhuang.

When Zhen Huan was in favor, even Shen Meizhuang had to avoid her, let alone An Lingrong.

In the early days, An Lingrong was not self-reliant and in order to avoid suspicion she did not stand out to fight for her position. At that time, Zhen Huan could still put on a show of affectionate sisters.

Later, Zhen Huan repeatedly provoked Concubine Hua. In order to save her life, Zhen Huan pulled An Lingrong out to compete for favor.

Although An Lingrong served as Zhen Huan's human shield, she was competing with Zhen Huan for the emperor, so Zhen Huan naturally felt resentful.

Otherwise, Zhen Huan would not have not restrained Huanbi at all and allowed Huanbi to be used as a mouthpiece to humiliate An Lingrong.

Look at the concubines that Zhen Huan associates with. Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Xin are all out of favor.

Ye Lan'yi is just Zhen Huan's dragon-slaying sword, which can kill anyone she points at.

Zhen Huan has gained all the benefits by being innocent and can also be a pure little white flower.
