"What on earth were you thinking about just now?"

An Lingrong asked this question expressionlessly to Baojuan, who had just been secretly flirting with Jianqiu.

"My lady! I...I didn't say anything!"

Faced with the questions from An Lingrong, Baojuan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she spoke without thinking in panic.

It was clear that An Lingrong was asked "what are you thinking about", but An Lingrong's answer was "I didn't say anything". One is thinking, the other is saying, although there seems to be only one word difference, there is naturally a world of difference between them!

"Haha, you really didn't say anything, but it doesn't matter. These are no longer important."

An Lingrong shook her head at Baojuan, and at the same time didn't want to continue talking to Baojuan.

"Little Master!"

Baojuan looked at An Lingrong's back as she walked away alone, and she became so anxious that she shouted out loud.

But as soon as she shouted, she immediately realized that she was still outside Jingren Palace.

This is the Queen's territory. Shouting here is clearly seeking death!

Moreover, Aunt Jianqiu seemed to be sending An Lingrong out at that time, but in fact she was just taking advantage of this opportunity to give herself a warning.

An Lingrong knew this very well, and Baojuan, who was not a fool, naturally knew it too!

After thinking about this relationship, Baojuan suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and reacted all at once, screaming and shouting.

However, Baojuan couldn't help but shudder when she recalled An Lingrong's previous look that seemed to be devoid of any emotion.

This feeling is so terrible, as if there is no emotion at all!

Baojuan felt that her image in An Lingrong's heart had been shattered beyond repair, and at the same time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Is there really no other way?"

Baojuan stood at the foot of the tall and majestic palace wall, looking distraught.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Baojuan was still standing there, not moving much, as if she was a statue.

During this period, many people came and went. When they saw Baojuan, no one was surprised at all, as if they just pretended she didn't exist at all.

It was not until the sun was setting that a figure walked out of Jingren Palace and came to Baojuan's side.

No one knew what she said to Baojuan, but after hearing what she said, Baojuan looked extremely excited and finally chose to go back into the palace with her.

……

On the other hand, An Lingrong returned to Suiyuxuan alone.

She found that Zhen Huan was not in Sui Yuxuan, and casually asked Xiao Yunzi who was in charge of cleaning the yard, only to find out that Zhen Huan went to visit Shen Meiyu again.

After An Lingrong expressed that she understood, she returned to her own palace.

Being alone, An Lingrong let her mind go, and then she began to think about the future.

Baojuan, it is indeed a hidden danger, but this problem has almost been solved.

Because when she met the Queen before, An Lingrong had already made clear what she wanted to say.

With the Queen's scheming mind, even if An Lingrong had just said it casually, she would have made up some nonsense in her mind, not to mention that An Lingrong had already expressed her meaning very clearly.

Therefore, the Queen will definitely arrange for Jianqiu to find a suitable palace maid for An Lingrong soon!

As for the fact that Jianqiu will not bribe the palace maids assigned to An Lingrong again, the result is naturally a matter of opinion.

But then again, since An Lingrong chose to use the Queen to recruit more people to her side, based on her understanding of the Queen, she would definitely respond with "perfect" preparations!

In her previous life, An Lingrong was secretly bewitched by Baojuan and her own inferiority complex caused her to drift further and further away from Zhen Huan and the others, and eventually they became strangers.

After joining the Queen's camp, An Lingrong was initially guarded against by the Queen, but later gained her trust.

Slowly, through her own research, An Lingrong learned some of the queen's secrets, such as the real cause of death of Queen Chunyuan!

In addition to these palace secrets, An Lingrong was also well aware of the Queen's actions.

Take the Queen's decision to ask Jianqiu to win over the people's hearts, for example. The methods they would use are nothing more than gold and silver, or they would have the "handle" in their hands to be invincible.

After all, money talks. Those who can enter the palace to serve others do so either to gain a good future, such as being favored by the emperor, becoming the master one day and being able to hold their heads high from then on.

Otherwise, one can serve the concubines in the palace well and receive generous rewards. This will not only benefit one's maternal family, but also provide a home after leaving the palace even if one is too old to continue working in the palace.

Because of this, Jianqiu had to help the Queen plant "nails" in various palaces, and the easiest way was to bribe them with money.

Those palace maids either had just entered the palace and knew nothing, or had been in the palace for many years but had never been appreciated by their masters, and therefore lived in poverty.

For someone like this, it is natural that he would not refuse the money that comes to his door.

In addition, it is well known that Jianqiu is the queen's maid.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that Jianqiu came here on the orders of the Queen!

So, even if you don't want money, since Jianqiu has come to your door, can you escape easily?

An Lingrong knew this very well, and she understood a very realistic problem even more.

Even if he were to break up with the queen now, he still could not escape the "supervision" from the queen!

The reason is extremely simple, because the queen is the master of the six palaces, the commander of the harem, and the emperor's first wife!

Looking at the six palaces in the east and west, even Concubine Hua, who is now the most powerful, only relies on the favor from the emperor.

When she had the power to assist in managing the six palaces, Concubine Hua also spent money like water to reward people in the palace.

Only in this way can her words be effective and she can suppress the queen!

But even so, when it comes to some issues involving right and wrong, Concubine Hua still has to stand aside.

Just like no matter how much Yongzheng doted on Concubine Hua, he would always go to Jingren Palace to accompany the Empress on important days like the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, because this was the ancestral royal system!

Even Yongzheng would abide by the ancestral rules, so Concubine Hua had no right to comment.

Therefore, as long as An Lingrong still wants to stay in this palace, she cannot take the initiative to "break up"!

She could be "disdained" by the Queen and become an abandoned pawn, but she could never take the initiative to do anything beyond the rules!

Just like changing the palace maids, it is just a small matter.

But An Lingrong had to do it secretly, and once the Queen found out, the result would be predictable!
