"I hope so..."

Faced with the comfort from An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang sighed deeply, but her expression did not look relieved.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other, and both could see that in their hearts, Concubine Hua still had a strong deterrent power.

But after all, it was Shen Meizhuang who was being plotted against. At this time, no matter what they said or how they tried to comfort each other, it seemed too pale and powerless.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan could only hold Shen Meizhuang's hand, hoping to give her strength.

An Lingrong stopped persuading her and silently left the space to the pair of good sisters who had grown up together.

Anyway, I have said everything I should say. Whether I can persuade Shen Meizhuang to resolve the knot in her heart depends on fate.

The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, and An Lingrong herself is well aware of this.

At that moment, the three of them remained silent all the way, and the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied them could only follow from a distance and continue walking towards Xianfu Palace.

The road to Xianfu Palace is not short, but no matter how far it is, as long as you walk, you will always get there.

"Thank you very much."

Seeing that they were finally reaching her palace, Shen Meizhuang, who had been a little absent-minded, slowly came to her senses and expressed her gratitude to An Lingrong and Zhen Huan.

Caiyue's body had not yet recovered, and there were only a few palace maids assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs around her. Although those people had been serving her for a while and were very efficient, when Shen Meizhuang found out that Liu Bin had other purposes and deliberately approached her, she was like a frightened bird. It was difficult for her to trust these strangers, fearing that they had been bribed by Concubine Hua and would secretly harm her.

The main reason why Zhen Huan wanted to escort her back was for this reason.

Once she arrived at Xianfu Palace, it was her own territory, so Shen Meizhuang felt much more at ease.

"Sister Mei, it's really too polite of you to say that!"

Zhen Huan deliberately glared at Shen Meizhuang, and then pretended to be displeased and said: "If you say anything else, Lingrong and I will not care about you from now on!"

"Okay, if you don't care about me, then I will turn around and leave with Concubine Jing!"

Shen Meizhuang also knew that Zhen Huan was deliberately trying to anger her, and in order to relieve her anxiety, she deliberately retorted.

"Who wants to go with me?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from the side.

Then, a woman in a light green and elegant cheongsam slowly walked out.

There is no doubt that this person is the queen of Xianfu Palace - Jingpin!

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Jing, who always exuded a sense of calmness, and felt a sense of strangeness lingering in her heart.

All in all, they met quite a few times. They could be seen almost every time when they paid their respects to the Queen. Even so, they were just acquaintances and there was no chance for them to talk on weekdays.

However, in her previous life, Concubine Jing was the backbone of Zhen Huan's team!

Jingpin gained Zhen Huan's trust and was entrusted with Princess Longyue. After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, although they were at odds with each other for a while, they finally became friends and worked together to deal with the Queen. During this period, Jingpin also contributed a lot.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Jing!"

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were also stunned for a moment at first, but after they reacted, they hurriedly bowed.

Among them, Zhen Huan saw An Lingrong was slightly absent-minded, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, so she quickly pulled her.

An Lingrong finally reacted and added: Good luck to your Majesty!

"No need to be so polite."

Just as Shen Meizhuang said before, Concubine Jing is a very easy-to-talk to person.

When faced with An Lingrong and Zhen Huan who came to Xianfu Palace with Shen Meizhuang, she was not surprised at all, but praised the three of them for their deep sisterly love.

In addition, even though An Lingrong seemed a little absent-minded and rude when facing her before, Jingpin had no intention of pursuing the matter.

In fact, Concubine Jing didn't take this little episode to heart at all. She turned around and invited everyone to come to the main hall where she lived.

"What a coincidence! I often hear Concubine Shen talk about you two, but I don't usually have the chance to sit down and chat with you."

Jingpin led the people inside, and then said with a smile: "But now I am not the only one here, there is another person whom you have never met before, and you can take this opportunity to meet him."

"what?"

What Jingpin said made the three of them a little confused. After all, they had been in the palace for more than half a year.

However, I have endured the entire long winter from the end of summer, and now the weather is starting to warm up. During this period, I have become accustomed to the concubines in the palace fighting with each other. Even if I don't have extra interactions with the concubines in the palace, I have met almost all of them.

So, when Jingpin said that she and others had never seen each other before, they became curious about the other party's identity.

Who is it?

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang, hoping to get the answer from her good sister.

It’s a pity that Shen Meizhuang couldn’t find any answers from Jingpin’s words.

Instead, An Lingrong, after a brief silence, suddenly spoke up: "Excuse me, Madam Jingpin, are you talking about Madam Duanfei?"

Concubine Duan!

When these words were spoken, not only Concubine Jing stopped in her tracks, but even Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were also stunned.

If An Lingrong hadn't said it, they would have really forgotten that there was such a person in the palace.

Although she was a concubine, she was bedridden all year round due to illness. Not only could she not see him on weekdays when he came to pay his respects in Jingren Palace, but even for big gifts such as festivals, Concubine Duan would refuse them whenever possible.

Therefore, if you think about it, they have never seen this mysterious Concubine Duan!

"You're quite smart."

Jingpin looked at An Lingrong in surprise at first, then she laughed and asked, "So is it fate?"

This simple sentence indirectly acknowledged that An Lingrong had guessed the answer.

An Lingrong just smiled and said nothing, but she felt that there was something strange about this matter.

Before Concubine Hua showed any signs of decline, Concubine Duan had been hiding behind the scenes, usually staying in her own palace and not seeing anyone.

Not until Concubine Hua was overthrown did Concubine Duan return to the harem and gradually gather a force of her own.

An Lingrong also had a deep impression of Concubine Duan.

In the previous life, it was Zhen Huan who was the main force and finally succeeded in crushing Concubine Hua, and Concubine Duan also formed a friendship with Zhen Huan because of this.

After the Ganlu Temple incident, Zhen Huan, who had become Concubine Xi, returned to the palace in glory. With her help behind the scenes, Concubine Duan eventually became the Imperial Noble Concubine.

And An Lingrong remembered that Concubine Duan was well versed in the doctrine of the mean, and if she did make a sound, she would be a sensation!

When she thought of this, An Lingrong knew.

The fact that Concubine Duan came to Xianfu Palace this time might be due to some other plan, and not just a spur-of-the-moment decision!

But if that's the case, Concubine Duan might want to meet Shen Meizhuang?

And they met each other purely by accident. After all, Concubine Duan didn't have the ability to predict the future...
