An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 273 The Queen Mother Tests
Just as Cao Qinmo said before, she was sure that Zhen Huan would not forget this matter, so she went to find Zhen Huan on purpose. Her purpose was nothing more than to motivate Zhen Huan so that she could continue to fight against Concubine Hua.
Now, after a careful analysis, Cui Jinxi not only figured out the intention behind Cao Qinmo's move, but also believed that the information provided by the other party could bring some help to Zhen Huan.
"Well, that's true."
Zhen Huan nodded, and then asked, "By the way, Jinxi, how is Xiao Yunzi's investigation going recently?"
Just as they thought, it was impossible for Zhen Huan to turn a blind eye to the fact that Shen Meiyu was framed, so she had been sending people to conduct secret inspections in order to catch Liu Bin!
Moreover, the clever Cao Qinmo didn't know that Zhen Huan and the others had already seen through the conspiracy long before the truth was revealed!
She thought that as long as she distanced herself from the matter and let Zhen Huan direct her hatred towards Concubine Hua, she would be able to extricate herself calmly.
Little did she know that Zhen Huan just didn't want to plot against her right now.
The reason is very simple. In Zhen Huan's view, Concubine Hua is the undisputed initiator of the entire conspiracy, and is also the "big tree" that Cao Qinmo and others rely on.
If he attacks Cao Qinmo first, Cao Qinmo will probably turn to seek protection from Concubine Hua before he can even settle accounts with her.
By that time, no matter how much Concubine Hua disliked Cao Qinmo, she would definitely choose to protect her just to protect herself.
In this case, no matter how hard they try to deal with Cao Qinmo, they may not be able to withstand Concubine Hua's intervention in the end.
Therefore, it is better to "capture the king first". As long as Concubine Hua is defeated, the rest of the people will naturally be easy to deal with.
What's more, because Concubine Hua took away Princess Wen Yi from Cao Qinmo, Cao Qinmo also hated her to the core.
This tactic of using a knife to kill someone, whose knife is being borrowed and who is being killed - it is still unknown!
When she thought of this, a sneer appeared on Zhen Huan's face.
When Cui Jinxi was questioned by Zhen Huan, she recalled the past, smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"There is still no clue at the moment."
After Zhen Huan helped her, Xiao Yunzi became loyal to Zhen Huan, which is why Zhen Huan dared to let him investigate secretly.
Zhen Huan fully trusted the people around her, and did not blame them when she heard this. She just said, "You have to tell Xiao Yunzi to be careful!"
"Don't worry, little master, I understand."
Cui Jinxi nodded, but then seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"what happened?"
Seeing this, Zhen Huan asked her to speak frankly.
Cui Jinxi said, "My lady, Concubine Hui suffered such a great injustice before. The emperor gave her a title and a lot of rewards as a consolation, but it did not shake the foundation of the Nian family at all. And later, the words that the emperor said to you always make me feel a little uneasy..."
Zhen Huan has always trusted Cui Jinxi and regarded her as a mentor and friend. When she encountered something she could not decide, Zhen Huan would ask for her opinion and use it as a reference.
Just like Yongzheng had found Zhen Huan after the Empress Dowager's death and confessed his troubles to her, Zhen Huan felt that "a storm is brewing" and found An Lingrong the next day to think about it with her. Cui Jinxi was serving by her side at the time, so naturally she was also the one who helped in brainstorming.
Thinking back on this incident now, Cui Jinxi noticed something was wrong.
It can be seen on the surface that the emperor dotes on Concubine Hua. Not only does he grant her the power to manage the harem, but even though he knows there are some fishy things about it, he still treats her with care. His intention to protect her is self-evident.
But you have to say that she dotes on me, right?
It doesn’t seem to be the case…
More than half a month has passed, and Yongzheng basically only turns to Zhen Huan's name card, otherwise he would never set foot in the harem.
Even if the Yikun Palace sent people to the Yangxin Palace to deliver things or convey the news that Concubine Hua was ill, Yongzheng no longer took it as seriously as before.
All these things piled together make it hard not to have doubts in people's minds.
"The emperor's mind is hard to guess, so this is nothing strange."
Compared to the worried Cui Jinxi, Zhen Huan's reaction at this time seemed much calmer.
Anyway, Xiao Yunzi hasn't found the missing Liu Bin yet, so she naturally can't report Concubine Hua.
Before this, no matter what Yongzheng's attitude towards Concubine Hua was, it did not have much impact on Zhen Huan.
……
"Mrs. An, you really took to heart what I said to you last time. It's a relief that my love for you was not in vain!"
In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was talking to An Lingrong with a smile on her face.
Just after she had reprimanded Shen Meiyu and An Lingrong, the Emperor really began to visit Shoukang Palace every now and then, and it seemed that there was no difference from before. Seeing all this, the Empress Dowager learned that Yongzheng had not been to Shen Meiyu's Xianfu Palace recently, so she attributed this credit to An Lingrong.
She and Yongzheng were biological mother and son, but due to some reasons in their early years, the two sides were not in harmony with each other.
After so many years, the Empress Dowager no longer expected Yongzheng to be consistent with her. As long as things seemed okay on the surface, she didn't want to delve into other matters.
"You are the Emperor's mother, and the Emperor is very filial and sincere, so he will naturally be very considerate to you. All of this is within the responsibility of the concubines. How can Lingrong dare to take credit for it?"
Faced with the compliments from the Empress Dowager, An Lingrong was not proud at all, but returned the compliments very humbly.
Such a reaction naturally made the Queen Mother even more satisfied.
"If I were to say, if there were more girls like you in the harem, I would have a lot of free time!"
The Queen Mother was playing with the beads in her hand, seemingly expressing her feelings casually, but in fact her expression was profound.
An Lingrong knew that the Queen Mother was pointing a finger at Concubine Hua and others who had been restless recently, but she didn't say anything.
In fact, she didn't think she could add much to the emperor's favor.
Although the Empress Dowager was now very kind to her, and it was also because the Emperor did visit Shoukang Palace more often after that, An Lingrong thought to herself that it was all just a "coincidence."
After being angry with the Empress Dowager for a few days, Yongzheng probably regretted his decision.
He wanted to ease the relationship between the two sides, but was unwilling to take the initiative to please the Empress Dowager, lest the Empress Dowager "get carried away by success." Just at this time, he passed the message, and Yongzheng naturally came to visit the Empress Dowager in the name of "visiting the patient."
After such a loving mother-son show, the previous unpleasant things were naturally put aside and no one mentioned them again.
But if An Lingrong really thought that she had a sense of existence in the emperor's heart, and was smart enough to take the initiative to do something according to the empress dowager's "hint", then she would probably bring trouble upon herself!
"You are a smart child. The more I see you, the more I like you."
The Queen Mother had been deliberately testing An Lingrong. Seeing that she did not take the initiative to answer, she smiled even more. Then she said with emotion, "Although your family background is humble, you are fortunate to have great fortune. Now that you have an heir to the throne, you must cherish your blessings. Naturally, you will have many good days in the future!"
