As the Queen announced the disbanding of the afternoon activities, except for Concubine Qi and Noble Lady Fucha who were kept in to chat, the rest of the people were politely and courteously invited to leave, and naturally everyone went back to their homes.

As it had been a while since Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had sat together with An Lingrong to reminisce about the past, after some discussion, they decided to go to An Lingrong's Yonghe Palace.

After all, Zhen Huan's Suiyuxuan is small and far away, and Shen Meizhuang's Xianfu Palace has Jingpin, so both are inconvenient.

In comparison, An Lingrong lived alone in the palace, which was really free.

Therefore, after Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing had some communication, Concubine Jing was very understanding and chose to go back alone.

In fact, Jingpin still feels like she is in a dream because of Lady Borjigit’s pregnancy.

Even if she was forced to accept this reality, Jingpin had to consider whether Noble Lady Borjigit would threaten them next, and what attitude to adopt when approaching Noble Lady Borjigit, etc. This was undoubtedly a very exhausting task.

Therefore, Concubine Jing had no intention of caring about Shen Meizhuang.

An Lingrong called for three sedan chairs and sent herself and Zhen Huan back to Yonghe Palace.

"I didn't expect that today would end like this..."

As soon as they got off the sedan chair, Zhen Huan came forward to help An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang, and sighed at the same time.

Originally, she was looking forward to going to the Imperial Garden in the afternoon.

But who knew that Lady Borjigit would suddenly do such a thing, which directly disrupted all the Queen's plans.

"Let's go in first and then talk."

An Lingrong gave a look to Fang Ruo who came up to greet her, and Fang Ruo understood what she meant. She welcomed the ladies into Yonghe Palace and ordered the palace maids to boil water, make tea, and prepare snacks so that the masters could chat.

"The environment here at Lingrong is really nice."

It was not the first time that Shen Meizhuang came to Yonghe Palace, but she was still amazed by the unique scenery in the palace.

"If Sister Mei likes it, just move in and live with me." An Lingrong joked with a smile.

"I'm just talking. If I really come, I'm afraid you'll find me annoying!"

Shen Meizhuang replied, and then said: "But Concubine Jing is indeed very kind to me."

"Sister, don't you think about it? You have this baby in your belly now, who dares to neglect you?"

Zhen Huan's words caused Shen Meizhuang to roll her eyes. The three of them chatted and laughed. After Fang Ruo brought the tea and snacks, she left again.

It just so happened that Cui Jinxi and the others were also in the front hall, and the palace maids had their own entertainment at this time.

When the three of them were alone, Zhen Huan suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously, "Lingrong, Sister Mei, I have something that I have been holding in my heart for a long time. I wonder if I should say it to you?"

Seeing Zhen Huan's expression become so serious, Shen Meizhuang also put down the cup and said slowly: "Since you asked this, it is obvious that you want to say it. Anyway, we are the only sisters here now, so you don't have to worry about anything. Just say whatever you want to say."

An Lingrong already had some idea of ​​what Zhen Huan was going to say next, and she nodded as well.

"I...I don't think the incident with Noble Lady Fucha was an accident!"

Even though she knew it was safe here, Zhen Huan still lowered her voice unconsciously.

"You should also remember that the cat only circled around Noble Lady Fucha from beginning to end, as if it had made up its mind. This is really strange."

Zhen Huan was a careful person. When Songzi went crazy, she was frightened like most people.

But then she was pulled over by An Lingrong. Then, Cui Jinxi and the others reacted and surrounded these ladies to protect them. After Zhen Huan was safe, the attention naturally focused on Noble Lady Fucha.

According to Zhen Huan's observation, she found that the cat's reaction was indeed very abnormal.

First of all, according to the conversation between Concubine Hua and the Queen, this black cat named Songzi should be raised by the Queen, and it must be familiar with the environment of Jingren Palace on a daily basis.

Even if there were suddenly many strangers that the cat had never seen before, the normal reaction of the cat should be to hide instead of running out to attack.

Besides, with so many of them there, why did Songzi just keep focusing on Noble Lady Fucha?

"It's as if there's something about Noble Lady Fucha that attracts her..."

After Zhen Huan expressed her opinion, she saw that An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang were both silent, so she waited for them to speak.

"Indeed, although I didn't look closely at it at the time, but now that I hear Huan'er say this, this matter is quite strange!"

Shen Meizhuang pondered for a while and said, "This cat is raised by the Queen. Usually, it should be taken care of by the palace maids of Jingren Palace. If it had a bad temper, it should have been kicked out long ago. How could it be kept until today?"

It would be even more strange if we say that this cat was domesticated and attacked Noble Lady Fucha.

Although Noble Lady Fucha offended many people with her words, who would take advantage of such an occasion and use the cat beside the Queen to harm others?

"Yeah, why is that?"

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu with a smile, only to see their expressions change slightly.

We are all smart people, and having said this, a guess has already occurred to us, but we all have reservations, so we dare not say it out loud.

"Never mind, I just said it casually."

Zhen Huan didn't dare to think about it any further, and at the same time felt a little regretful.

Originally, she wanted to remind her two close sisters in front of them to be careful and guard against invisible threats, but when the conversation came to this point, Zhen Huan found that she still did not have the courage to express her guess.

Apart from being "extremely disrespectful", Zhen Huan felt a chill when this answer was spoken!

"My two sisters, it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't need to say more about this."

An Lingrong looked at them and said, "At that time, I just thought that perfume powder could be easily tampered with. Besides, spring is the season for everything to grow. There are many cats and dogs in the palace. If someone has a violent temper and is affected by the scent, he or she will inevitably do something extreme. Now that I think about it, maybe this is what happened to Noble Lady Fucha?"

"You mean 'accident'?"

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, their expressions were heavy.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was not an accident, but the meaning of An Lingrong's words was also very simple and easy to understand.

No matter what the truth is, the blame cannot be placed on the Queen, so it can only be classified as an "accident."

"Noble Lady Fucha will be fine, otherwise the Queen wouldn't have kept her here, but we need to worry about what to do next."

An Lingrong said: "If my guess is correct, Concubine Hua will be unable to hold back this time."
