An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 208 Prelude to the Garden Tour

"How is the investigation going on with the matter I asked you to do?"

The Queen looked at Jianqiu, her voice had returned to calm, and now she asked about the progress of Jianqiu's investigation.

"Reporting to the Queen, according to your instructions, I have secretly questioned many people, but no one has found anything unusual about Noble Lady Fucha."

While Jianqiu was telling the Queen the results of her investigation, she was also carefully paying attention to the changes in the Queen's expression.

Based on her understanding of the Queen, she knew that the Queen would definitely not be satisfied with such an answer.

"Nothing?"

When the queen saw Jianqiu lowering her head and not daring to look directly at her, she immediately laughed in anger, "I gave you so much time, but you didn't find anything. Do you have the nerve to face me?"

"It is because of my incompetence that I failed the Queen's expectations. Please forgive me, Queen!"

Jianqiu fell to his knees and, without making any excuses, directly admitted his shortcomings.

"You should know that I entrusted this matter to you because I trust you. Jianqiu, you have disappointed me so much now!"

The Queen raised her hand and rubbed her aching forehead. At the same time, she said to Jianqiu, "Concubine Qi is useless. I can't expect her to get anything useful out of Noble Lady Fucha, so I ordered you to search for clues. But now it seems that I have overestimated you!"

The queen's words were like an invisible hammer, hitting Jianqiu's heart again and again, making her expression even uglier.

"Please give me some more time, I will definitely work hard."

Jianqiu took a deep breath and asked the queen to trust her again.

"You have been out and about these past few days, but you have not been able to bring anything back. Now you want me to trust you again, but I don't know how to trust you anymore."

The queen's voice was a little gloomy. She looked at Jianqiu who was kneeling at her feet. She was silent for a while, and finally she sighed.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

This sudden remark made Jian Qiu stunned for a moment, but she said in disbelief: "Madam, do you mean to stop investigating?"

"You can't find out anything anyway. Rather than wasting your time and alerting the enemy, it's better to stop here."

As if she could see the confusion in Jianqiu's heart, the Queen said calmly: "It's not like we, the Jingren Palace family, are the only ones watching this matter. Since everyone is anxious, then I am not anxious now."

As she said this, the queen's slender nails gently brushed across the white jade ruyi, and a smile bloomed on her lips.

It was not the first day that Jianqiu followed the Queen. When she heard these words, she immediately understood what the Queen meant.

And based on her understanding of the Queen, Jianqiu knew that the anxious person the Queen was referring to must be Concubine Hua!

Come to think of it, Noble Lady Fucha directly betrayed Concubine Hua, and at the same time brought some "equipment" whose authenticity was not yet known to find Concubine Qi, in an attempt to surrender to the Queen through this relationship.

Put yourself in her shoes. If she were Concubine Hua, she would also be unable to sleep or eat well!

"So, do you understand what to do next?"

The Queen no longer gave clear instructions, but asked Jianqiu a question in return. The meaning was simple: she wanted to use this question to see whether Jianqiu had figured out how to "make amends".

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will go to Changchun Palace in a moment and will convey Your Majesty's wishes to Concubine Qi."

Jianqiu had just watched the whole process from the side and knew that the Queen was very angry with Concubine Qi.

The Queen didn't want to talk at cross purposes with Concubine Qi, so naturally, as her "confidant", she had to do her best for her master.

"Ah."

The Queen was quite satisfied with this answer, and her expression eased a lot. She nodded and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead. By the way, the weather is getting warmer now. I plan to summon the concubines from the six palaces to Jingren Palace to enjoy the flowers next month. Remember to inform Concubine Qi about this."

"Yes, the servant understands."

When Jianqiu heard the Queen's instructions, her expression changed slightly.

She still remembered that the Queen had previously asked Concubine Qi to find a way to deal with those pregnant concubines, and Concubine Qi came up with this idea at the time, and even sent invitations to several ladies.

When the Queen heard about this, she was extremely angry and scolded Concubine Qi for being extremely stupid in front of her.

Who would have thought that such a short time would pass and the Queen would actually implement this method?

"what happened?"

The Queen saw Jianqiu's expression of hesitation, and after a little thought, she realized the reason why Jianqiu was absent-minded, so she said, "Don't worry too much, I have my own plan."

"Yes."

The Queen had already said so, and even though Jianqiu felt that it was inappropriate, she did not dare to say anything else.

After all, she had not fulfilled the Queen's request before, and the top priority now was to "make up for her crime with merit" rather than to interfere with her master's thoughts.

……

"The Queen is going to hold a garden party?"

In Changchun Palace, Concubine Qi finally got rid of Noble Lady Fucha, and turned around to see Jianqiu.

After learning about the Queen's arrangements from Jianqiu, Concubine Qi's first reaction was panic.

"Didn't your Majesty reject my idea before? What are you going to do now?"

Concubine Qi looked somewhat confused and uneasy, and she started walking around in the hall.

"My lady, calm down!"

Jianqiu knew from the beginning that this was not an easy job. Concubine Qi was not a person who was easy to communicate with, and this was no secret in the palace. She was responsible for the order issued by the Queen. In addition to conveying this arrangement, she also had the "important responsibility" of appeasing Concubine Qi.

Deep down, Jianqiu certainly refused.

Unfortunately, she had no right to say no.

When Concubine Qi showed an "extremely nervous" reaction in front of him, Jianqiu had to swallow back the words she had prepared and made appeasing the empress a top priority.

"You said."

Concubine Qi was very worried that the Queen's move was directed at her. After all, she had followed the Queen's instructions and racked her brains to come up with such a plan, but ended up being scolded by the Queen.

At that time, Concubine Qi felt extremely guilty and realized that the Queen was very dissatisfied with her way of dealing with things.

After that, Concubine Qi consciously did not dare to show her face in front of the Queen, and she avoided her presence whenever possible.

As Noble Lady Fucha hurriedly came to find her, Concubine Qi had no way to avoid her.

However, she had not yet seen through Noble Lady Fucha's "evil intentions" at that time, and she thought that this was a rare opportunity for her to please the Queen and rebuild her image.

What is the result?

Hey, she got cheated again!

With such a precedent, it’s no wonder that she has such a big reaction now.
