An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 239 Concubine Duan points the way

Although Zhen Huan told Cui Jinxi that she still needed to discuss with An Lingrong and the others before deciding whether to believe Cao Qinmo and help her.

But on second thought, whether it was An Lingrong or Shen Meizhuang, they themselves had no connection with Cao Qinmo.

Just because of Concubine Hua, no one has a good impression of Cao Qinmo.

Before asking them, it would be better to ask the old people who were already in the palace. Perhaps you can get a different answer.

"Jinxi, is it really right for me to do this?"

On the way to Yanqing Palace, Zhen Huan looked at Cui Jinxi who was accompanying her, and murmured something.

This was more of a question to himself than a question to Cui Jinxi.

"My lady, you don't have to feel too stressed. Anyway, we are just going to visit Concubine Duan to reminisce about the past."

Cui Jinxi said: "Concubine Duan is the earliest person to serve the emperor. Since she started at the palace, she has seen many people and many things. The young lady has also won her favor. Now it is a good idea to ask Concubine Duan."

Although Concubine Duan has always lived in seclusion, it is because Concubine Hua dislikes her. The new and old grudges between the two people added together make Concubine Duan always the one who is hit.

Before this, Concubine Duan was actually a very versatile person.

Cao Qinmo had already been a guest in Concubine Hua's room during the period when Emperor Yongzheng was in the palace.

Like Concubine Li, Cao Qinmo was also cultivated by Concubine Hua to win over the emperor.

But unlike Concubine Li, although Cao Qinmo was not outstanding in appearance, she was extremely lucky. She gave birth to a princess before the emperor ascended the throne, which earned her face.

However, Yongzheng was also well aware of Hua Fei's little thoughts.

Therefore, after giving Lipin the status of "concubine", Cao Qinmo, who gave birth to a princess for him, could only be a noble lady. This is also part of the "balance" that the emperor emphasized.

"I hope so."

Cui Jinxi's words made Zhen Huan feel a little more at ease, and then she did as the other party said and stopped thinking about it.

By the time she arrived at Yanqing Palace where Concubine Duan lived, Zhen Huan's mood had completely calmed down.

"Mr. Wan, why are you here?"

Concubine Duan was a little surprised to see that it was Zhen Huan who came to visit her.

It is true that she is optimistic about Zhen Huan, but with An Lingrong and others becoming pregnant, and seeing the turmoil in the palace rising again, Concubine Duan, who has been bedridden for many years, continues to maintain her state of "closing the door to visitors".

Like Zhen Huan, although Concubine Duan would send people to visit her in the palace before, in order to prevent Concubine Hua from shifting her hatred towards Zhen Huan, she deliberately kept a distance from her.

Although the contact between the two parties has never been interrupted, it is unclear whether Zhen Huan has ever come to visit in person again.

Today, when Concubine Duan saw Zhen Huan coming to her house in person, she immediately understood that this noble lady Wan might have encountered something.

"To be honest, Madam, I came to visit you unexpectedly today because I do have something I want to ask you."

Zhen Huan bowed respectfully and said this to Concubine Duan.

"Jixiang, go and close the door. I want to have a good chat with Lady Wan."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Duan immediately gave an order to her confidant Jixiang, asking him to go out and close the doors and windows, and then she and Cui Jinxi personally guarded outside to prevent any uninvited guests from coming here and disturbing them.

When only she and Zhen Huan were left in the room, Concubine Duan looked at her calmly, then slowly said, "Lady Wan, what exactly is the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

"There is one thing I want to ask you, Madam."

On the way here, Zhen Huan had already thought about how to start the conversation. Now, facing the question from Concubine Duan, she did not hesitate at all and told her everything about how Cao Qinmo had visited her before and how the other party had begged her.

"Cao Qinmo actually started looking for you?"

After listening to Zhen Huan's narration, Concubine Duan frowned and said, "Cao Qinmo is a very scheming person. She has been following Nian Shilan since she entered the palace. She found you at this time, probably because she thinks you are very popular now..."

"Also, she repeatedly told me that she missed Princess Wen Yi. I don't know how to say it..."

When Concubine Duan said that she was "very popular", Zhen Huan blushed a little. Then, she took the initiative to change the subject, attributing the reason why Cao Qinmo asked her to whisper in the emperor's ear to her longing for her daughter.

"She really does think highly of the princess."

Concubine Duan thought about it and agreed with Zhen Huan's speculation.

She was not sickly since she entered the palace. When she was first conferred the title, she attended several important occasions.

At that time, Concubine Duan had met Princess Wen Yi. Although the child was still young, she was indeed very pretty.

Having said that, Concubine Duan had the same idea as Zhen Huan before, and neither could understand Concubine Hua's real intention of taking Princess Wen Yi away.

"If you want to control Concubine Cao and make her obey you in everything, you don't have to do this. Don't you know that it will backfire?"

Zhen Huan once again raised her previous doubts, and her expression became even more puzzled.

Seeing this, Concubine Duan suddenly laughed, "Haha, if she knew this, why would she still need Concubine Cao to be around for advice?"

After hearing this, Zhen Huan was speechless.

At the same time, Concubine Duan also saw the tangle in Zhen Huan's heart, so she said, "You have some sympathy for Cao Qinmo in your heart. On the one hand, you also think that if you can persuade her to rebel, it will be like cutting off Concubine Hua's left and right arms, so why not do it? But you also think that Concubine Shen and Concubine An are involved in this. If you don't handle one of them well, it will inevitably cause resentment between the two good friends. Therefore, you come to ask for my opinion, right?"

Seeing that Concubine Duan had spoken her mind, Zhen Huan nodded repeatedly and asked Concubine Duan, "Please give me some advice, Madam!"

“It’s actually not that difficult.”

After a moment's silence, Concubine Duan said, "If you do this, when Concubine Cao comes to you again, you can take the opportunity to ask her to show some 'sincerity'. If she really does this, you can use this to discern her intentions, and at the same time, you can also hold a handle. If something unexpected happens, you won't be completely in a passive situation."

While Concubine Duan was giving Zhen Huan some advice, she also lowered her voice and told Zhen Huan the solution she had thought of.

After Zhen Huan heard this, her eyes widened, and the way she looked at Concubine Duan also changed a lot.

"Will she really do this?"

After Concubine Duan finished speaking, Zhen Huan and the others were moved in their hearts, but they appeared hesitant.

"Don't worry."

Concubine Duan smiled slowly and said meaningfully: "Concubine Hua has been in charge of the six palaces for many years. Do you really think there will be no problems? And as her 'right-hand man', if Cao Qinmo really wants you to help get her daughter back, she will definitely not let you down!"
