"Lingrong! You are finally here!"

When An Lingrong and Liu Zhu walked into the main hall of Xianfu Palace together, Zhen Huan's eyes immediately lit up with surprise. She then left Yongzheng's side, walked quickly to An Lingrong, and held her hands.

Looking at An Lingrong, Zhen Huan said softly: "Sister Mei and I don't know why it has become like this. Now we can only rely on you!"

"I know."

An Lingrong nodded slightly, then came before Yongzheng and the Queen, and saluted respectfully.

"Good luck to the Emperor, and good luck to the Empress!"

If it were in the past, when he saw An Lingrong coming, Yongzheng would definitely exempt her from the etiquette immediately.

But this time, because of Shen Meizhuang's incident, the emperor now has some suspicion towards all the pregnant women in the palace.

Therefore, Yongzheng did not express any opinion at the first time.

Seeing this scene, the smile on the queen's face suddenly became mysterious, and then she pretended to be kind and said, "After all, Lady An is pregnant, so there is no need to be so polite!"

"Thank you Queen."

An Lingrong didn't bother to be polite with the Queen and just stood up and stood aside.

"Hey, come to think of it, An Lingrong was far away in Yonghe Palace, how come she suddenly came to Xianfu Palace?"

Concubine Hua was originally looking at the Jiang brothers whom she had arranged to be summoned from the Imperial Hospital, and their cooperation with Fuling's previous attack to launch a series of critical strikes. She was so happy that she was about to burst into tears.

With the arrival of An Lingrong, she saw that she had no intention of greeting her, and she became unhappy again, and started to make trouble.

"This……"

This was what the Queen originally wanted to say, but compared to Concubine Hua, she had already guessed why An Lingrong came at this time.

Isn’t the reason simple?

It must be Zhen Huan who secretly ordered someone to inform the emperor. After all, these three people have a very good relationship in the palace and have always been together.

Moreover, An Lingrong herself is a "smart person", so how could she not understand the principle that everyone prospers together and everyone suffers together?

If they can't protect Shen Meiyu today, then the next person to get into trouble will be An Lingrong!

Even if it was for herself, An Lingrong would definitely make this trip.

However, the good show has just begun, and the Queen is also looking forward to it. I wonder what method An Lingrong will choose to crack Concubine Hua's actions?

Yes, when Su Peisheng called the Jiang brothers as the imperial physician, the Queen looked at Concubine Hua with a smug smile on her face, and she had already guessed 80% of the ins and outs of the matter.

Hua Fei had been in charge of the six palaces for such a long time. Not only did she place her own spies among the concubines in each palace, but she also ignored other important institutions like the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Hospital. Even if Hua Fei didn't think of these aspects, would Cao Qinmo, her "military advisor", ignore them?

Therefore, the Queen was not surprised at all that Concubine Hua had her own confidant in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

After all, even he has a Doctor Wu!

If it were in the past, seeing Concubine Hua making a move, the Queen might have chosen to play a few rounds with her.

But the situation is different this time. Concubine Hua’s target is very clear, and the spearhead is directly pointed at Shen Meizhuang!

The Queen was somewhat wary of this upstart who was praised by Yongzheng as having "the style of the former Concubine Jing".

Even if Yongzheng was merely well-intentioned and hoped that Shen Meizhuang could help him share his worries in the future, the Queen did not want to let the power fall into the hands of others.

What's more, after all, they have been husband and wife for so many years, and she still has some understanding of the emperor.

Even though he now acts very much in love with Zhen Huan, when it comes to some major issues of right and wrong, the emperor is still the emperor after all!

What can you say to help relieve your worries?

Haha, those words were not only used to praise Shen Meizhuang, but were actually more intended to criticize himself and Concubine Hua!

As the queen, it is her natural duty to be in charge of the six palaces.

But because of the favored concubine Hua Fei in power, she had to give in.

After being arrogant for so many years, Concubine Hua was also implicated by her own mother's family and was inevitably feared by the emperor.

At this time, Shen Meizhuang entered the palace along with the selection, and her role was nothing more than a "chess piece" that the emperor could use to intimidate all parties.

But then again, Shen Meizhuang was young and beautiful after all. The Queen felt that Yongzheng not only had a certain degree of novelty in her, but also had some "love" for her. As for how much?

Naturally, only the emperor himself knew the answer.

As luck would have it, Shen Meizhuang soon became pregnant.

As soon as this news came out, even the queen, who had previously not taken it seriously, couldn't help but feel a sense of "crisis".

Later, Noble Lady Fucha turned against the emperor twice and brought back bombshell news, saying that all of this was planned by Concubine Hua. Shen Meizhuang was kept in the dark and was deeply trapped in the situation, not knowing that everything she had experienced was just Concubine Hua's conspiracy.

Now, Concubine Hua obviously couldn't hold it in any longer, so she brought people here with the intention of exposing everything.

The Queen was enjoying watching the show at the moment. After some thought, she simply ignored the provocative look from Concubine Hua, pretending she didn't see it at all.

"Thank you, Empress Hua, for your concern!"

When Hua Fei asked her, An Lingrong also noticed that Yongzheng had his eyes on her, so she smiled and said, "I had originally intended to visit Concubine Shen, but when I arrived at the gate of Xianfu Palace, I saw a lot of people and met Liu Zhu. Only then did I know that such a big thing had happened here!"

An Lingrong explained the reason for her visit in a few words, and said to Yongzheng, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for entering without permission!"

"Your explanation is far-fetched!"

Yongzheng hadn't spoken yet, but Concubine Hua couldn't hold back any longer and started to find fault. "You said you just wanted to visit Concubine Shen? Why did you come here for no reason? It seems to me that someone tipped you off in advance and deliberately brought you here, right?"

"Empress Hua? What on earth are you talking about?"

An Lingrong was not at all surprised that Concubine Hua would get so angry. After all, this "big drama" was planned by Concubine Hua from beginning to end, and she certainly would not allow so many variables to occur.

At this time, An Lingrong looked confused and said in astonishment, "Not to mention that I don't have the ability to predict the future. Even if I did, what good would it do to rush here knowing that something happened? Would it be a hazard? I came to visit Concubine Shen originally just out of concern for her. I don't know how I could have caused Her Majesty to misunderstand me!"

"Well said."

Yongzheng had been silent until this moment, when he suddenly spoke and broke the silence.
