After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

An Lingrong looked at Jianqiu's panicked expression and felt more and more proud in her heart, but she still pretended to be pitiful on the surface.

"You, how dare you be so rude, this is the Empress..." Jianqiu hadn't finished her words when she suddenly saw a familiar eunuch, Su Peisheng, walking out of An Lingrong's backyard. She lost her confidence in her words instantly, like a deflated ball, her voice gradually weakened.

Jianqiu saw Su Peisheng here, so the emperor hadn't left yet? But she clearly saw the emperor had left the Yanxi Palace, so why didn't Su Peisheng leave with the emperor?

Jianqiu's first reaction was to kneel down, and she quickly shouted, "I deserve to die. It was my own idea to pay my respects and promise to atone for my sins. It has nothing to do with the Queen."

"Didn't you just say that you were following the Empress's orders?" An Lingrong pretended to be aggrieved and spoke in a surprisingly gentle voice.

"No... no... I said it wrong. It was a slip of the tongue. It was all my idea." Jianqiu looked uneasy and spoke anxiously. At the same time, her body was shaking uncontrollably while kneeling on the ground.

"In that case, I will teach you, an ignorant servant, a lesson on behalf of the Queen." An Lingrong said softly.

Then, she winked at Baojuan beside her, and Baojuan immediately came forward and held Jianqiu down.

An Lingrong picked up a whip and slowly walked towards Jianqiu. There was a hint of hatred in her eyes. Last time, she was forced by her to drink the contraceptive soup, and she had to work hard to spit out the bowl of contraceptive soup.

This time she would not be foolish enough to believe the Queen's words and drink the contraceptive soup under her coercion. At this moment, An Lingrong had a smug smile on her face, and that smile seemed a little creepy.

"Snap!" The whip hit Jianqiu's body, making a crisp sound.

"Ah...ah..." Jianqiu screamed in pain, but she didn't dare to resist and could only endure it all silently.

"You damned servant, you attempted to murder the emperor's future heir." An Lingrong whipped Jianqiu fiercely.

"Pa...pa...pa..." After dozens of whips, An Lingrong enjoyed it very much, but her wrist was a little tired. She said to Su Peisheng beside her:

"Eunuch Su, please inform the emperor that Jianqiu sent contraceptive soup to this young lady."

"I obey your command. I will go and invite the emperor to come for you right away." Su Peisheng said respectfully, then turned and ran towards the emperor's study.

Su Peisheng knew that An Lingrong was favored by the emperor at the moment, and she had just spoken for him in front of the emperor, so he was very optimistic about An Lingrong, even though she was only a promised concubine, and it was only a matter of time before she would be promoted.

Then An Lingrong turned to Baojuan and said, "Baojuan, go and get the imperial physician."

When Baojuan turned around and prepared to leave after receiving the order, An Lingrong shouted again, "Wait, call a few more imperial doctors over."

The main reason why An Lingrong invited the imperial physician to come was to let him identify in front of the emperor that the ingredient of the medicine was contraceptive soup. If the imperial physician invited was the queen's man, she would probably be bitten back by him, so to be on the safe side, she had to invite a few more imperial physicians to identify it.

She believed that as long as this medicine was truly an abortion soup and Jianqiu was present, the Queen would not be able to shirk responsibility and would be punished if she was caught red-handed.

In the future, I will suffer less trouble from the Queen and won't have to drink that damn contraceptive soup anymore.

If she fails to seize the opportunity this time, her life will be ruined by the Queen and she will lose her qualification to be a mother. If a concubine has no children, she will not be able to gain a foothold in the imperial palace where mothers are honored by their sons.

Yikun Palace

Ever since Concubine Hua was stripped of her power to assist in managing the six palaces, and Concubine Li was banished to the cold palace, she has restrained her temper. Besides, her two major rivals, Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan, are no longer in the palace, so she still has to put some effort into getting rid of Zhen Huan in private.

So apart from paying her respects to the Queen and the Queen Mother, she seldom went out and followed Concubine Cao's advice to stay out of the spotlight.

When she heard that the Emperor did not attend the morning court this morning, she was a little angry. She felt that An Lingrong was starting to become more capable. It was really extraordinary that she could trick the Emperor into not attending the morning court.

At this moment, she was eating Feizixiao lychees in a depressed mood. Her brother Nian Gengyao asked someone to send them to her from the south at full speed.

The lychees were chilled to preserve their freshness, so they tasted cool and sweet, which finally made her jealous and annoyed mood a little better. At the same time, Songzhi stood beside Concubine Hua, fanning her and comforting her.

Suddenly Zhou Ninghai came to the front of the palace and reported: "Reporting to Madam Hua, I just got a great piece of good news, and I thought of telling Madam Yu about it. I'm sure you will be in a good mood."

When Concubine Hua heard Zhou Ninghai talking about the happy event, her eyes suddenly changed. Her heart was full of anticipation, but her face was still as cold as ever.

She chuckled and said, "Oh~ What's the big happy news? Tell me about it quickly."

"I just heard that the Empress's personal maid Jianqiu delivered contraceptive soup to An Daying in the Yanxi Palace, but was discovered by An Daying. She is now waiting for the Emperor and the imperial physician to come over." Zhou Ninghai said slowly.

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Hua couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha~~~ The Queen also has such a stupid day. I want to join in the fun."

In the past, the Queen had always tried to trip her up, overtly or covertly, and now she finally had the chance to add insult to injury.

"Then let's go to the Yanx Palace to watch the show..." After saying this, there was still a lingering smile on Hua Fei's lips.

Gyeongin Palace

Queen Yizhen was drinking tea calmly and leisurely, waiting for Jianqiu to come back. She wanted to prevent all the favored ladies of the Emperor from getting pregnant.

Even if she was pregnant, she would abort all their offspring to prevent her from gaining status through having children in the future. In addition, the emperor doted on her so much that her position as queen would surely be taken away by someone else, and she would definitely not let that happen.

She knew very well that she was now old and ugly, and the emperor no longer loved her. The only affection he had was the love from her sister Chunyuan. In addition, she was a descendant of the Ulanara clan and shared the same bloodline with the empress dowager, which ensured her current position as queen. However, she had to consider the long-term and always be prepared for danger.

She had to find a way to deal with those concubines who attempted to conceive an heir to the throne.

Suddenly Jiang Fuhai came to the front of the palace with a panicked look on his face, and reported with some fear: "Empress, it's bad, Jianqiu...Jianqiu is in trouble."

The Queen saw that Jiang Fuhai looked a little nervous at the moment. Jiang Fuhai would not behave like this unless it was something serious.

The queen stood up and scolded, "What's the matter that makes you so panic? Tell me slowly." The queen looked calm at the moment, but she was very anxious in her heart.

"I don't know why, but today's An Da Ying seems different from the past. She...she didn't drink the contraceptive soup. She even smashed the medicine bowl in front of Eunuch Su and directly said that it was you, Your Majesty, who asked Jianqiu to bring her the contraceptive soup." The more Jiang Fuhai spoke, the more his body trembled.

When the queen heard this, she felt as if struck by lightning. She staggered back a step and sat down on the chair.

The queen was shocked but tried to calm herself down. She knew the seriousness of the matter and if she didn't handle it properly, it would affect her status and reputation in the harem.

"Send someone immediately to find out the details. Don't let Jianqiu reveal that it was me who ordered it." The queen felt upset.

Yanxi Palace

At this moment, An Lingrong was sitting quietly in the inner hall of the Yanx Palace, holding a cup of steaming hot tea in her hand, but her eyes were staring coldly at the scene happening in front of her.

Baoque was standing aside, while Jianqiu was kneeling on the ground, her face full of fear and humiliation. Baoque raised his hand mercilessly and slapped Jianqiu in the face again and again, making a crisp sound.

The corners of An Lingrong's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She knew that this was the moment she had been waiting for. Jianqiu had always relied on her status as the Queen to bully others and often treated a small concubine like her badly. Now, it was finally her turn to fight back.

Every slap was like a huge rock hitting An Lingrong's heart, releasing some of the long-suppressed hatred in her heart.

She silently savored the tea in her mouth, feeling the warmth gradually spreading throughout her body, as if it also dispelled some of the haze in her heart.

However, An Lingrong did not completely indulge in the pleasure of revenge.

She knew clearly that such punishment might only be a temporary pain for Jianqiu, but if she wanted to truly escape the fate of being bullied, she had to find a way to overthrow the Queen.

So, after taking the last sip of tea, An Lingrong slowly put down the cup, stood up and walked to Jianqiu. She looked down at him with a firm light in her eyes:

"If you confess the truth later, perhaps I can help you beg the emperor to spare your life."

Just as An Lingrong finished speaking, she heard a young eunuch’s announcement from the gate of Yanxi Palace: “The Emperor has arrived!”
