"Sister Mei, please don't say that. How can I have any 'brilliant ideas'?"

Seeing Shen Meizhuang staring at her with a serious attitude, An Lingrong smiled helplessly, and then said: "It's just that sister is very concerned about this matter, so I also want to have a good chat with you, but I hope that no matter what I say next, sister can listen patiently."

"It's natural."

Shen Meizhuang nodded towards An Lingrong, then closed her mouth and prepared to listen carefully to what An Lingrong had to say.

An Lingrong sorted out her thoughts and said, "I think what Sister Mei said earlier is indeed reasonable. The Empress is the master of the six palaces, so it is her duty to manage and protect the concubines. But if I rashly go to Jingren Palace for help, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to help Sister Huan, but it may make her situation worse!"

When An Lingrong said this, Shen Meizhuang's expression moved noticeably, and she seemed about to speak.

But she still remembered the promise she had made before, so she hesitated for a moment and finally said nothing.

An Lingrong was very satisfied with Shen Meizhuang's reaction, so she continued to speak slowly: "Sister Mei must have doubts in her heart, so let me explain it to you slowly!"

Because she knew the Queen very well, An Lingrong concealed the unknown "truth" and only analyzed and speculated on the clues left by the Queen on weekdays, telling Shen Meiyu from a side angle that expecting the Queen to rescue Zhen Huan was not only a pipe dream, but also courting disaster!

After listening to An Lingrong's analysis, Shen Meizhuang was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Afterwards, she seemed to have had all her hopes taken away. Not only did her expression become listless, but even her eyes became dull.

"If that's the case, does that mean Huan'er will really be trapped in prison?"

Shen Meizhuang murmured to herself, her tone revealing a sense of despair.

"That's wrong!"

An Lingrong said: "As the saying goes, there is always a way out. In my opinion, it is far from being so discouraging!"

"Hmm?" Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong in confusion, "Could it be that the Emperor will change his mind?"

"I naturally cannot guess what the emperor is thinking, but I know why he is angry."

As early as during the previous conversation, An Lingrong had already realized that Shen Meizhuang seemed to be unaware of the real reason why Zhen Huan had angered the Emperor.

Now that Shen Meizhuang is so worried about Zhen Huan, she naturally doesn't mind giving her a push from behind, so that Shen Meizhuang can understand for whom Zhen Huan fell out of favor!

"Sister Mei, you may have let it go, but Sister Huan has always wanted to clear your name, so she secretly ordered people to arrest Liu Bin. Not long ago, she found me and wanted to bring Liu Bin to the emperor. On the one hand, she wanted to bring this matter back to light and beg the emperor to punish Concubine Hua..."

An Lingrong spoke in a low voice, slowly revealing the unknown secret.

"How could this be?"

Sure enough, Shen Meizhuang's first reaction after hearing An Lingrong's words was extreme shock!

At the same time, she felt that this made sense.

Shen Meizhuang was already wondering why Zhen Huan suddenly fell out of favor.

She originally thought that it was because the emperor was moody and Zhen Huan was spoiled by his favor, and she became complacent and brought about such a disaster.

But after An Lingrong's explanation, Shen Meizhuang finally understood that Zhen Huan could have avoided such troubles, but she ended up in this state just for herself!

"So, this is all my fault..."

Shen Meizhuang felt that the problem was mainly with herself. If she had not been depressed for that period of time, Zhen Huan might not have been always thinking about "revenge" for her.

"Those involved are confused, but those who are watching can see clearly. Please forgive Lingrong for speaking frankly. If it was you, Sister Mei, who was trapped today, Sister Huan would definitely spare no effort to rescue you. As for Concubine Hua, she is indeed a concern for us. We failed because we acted too hastily!"

An Lingrong told Shen Meiyu what Zhen Huan did for her in secret, but it was not to attack Shen Meiyu.

But since Shen Meizhuang has always been worried about Zhen Huan, instead of letting her worry about it over and over again, An Lingrong chose to lay out everything.

In this way, Shen Meizhuang can at least understand the interests involved, and when making some judgments, she will at least have some idea in her mind.

So when she saw Shen Meizhuang blaming the crime on herself, An Lingrong immediately corrected it.

"Oh, I am so foolish that I have to let you two little girls make plans for me."

After forcing herself to calm down for a while, Shen Meizhuang regained a little of her former wisdom. Looking at An Lingrong beside her, she realized how ridiculous her previous words and actions were.

At that time, she was only concerned with saving Zhen Huan, not only neglecting herself, but also ignoring An Lingrong's feelings.

Now that she had calmed down a little, Shen Meizhuang naturally felt embarrassed facing An Lingrong.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Meizhuang said seriously: "Lingrong, it's my fault this time. I ignored your feelings!"

As she said this, Shen Meizhuang was about to salute An Lingrong.

An Lingrong quickly stopped Shen Meizhuang and said with a smile: "If Sister Mei wants to say that, then our sisterhood will really become alienated."

An Lingrong understood the "apology" that Shen Meizhuang wanted to express, and after saying it, she just smiled indifferently.

If it were me back then, I might have had many unspeakable "little thoughts" because of this, but things are different now.

An Lingrong has long ceased to be sensitive and suspicious, and has accepted the reality.

Even if everyone gets along well and seems to be close, human nature is still biased. The relationship between Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang has been accumulated since childhood. How can it be easily replaced or caught up by others after all these years?

He who knows himself is wise. This time, all An Lingrong wants is a "clear conscience".

In this deep palace, everyone not only calls each other sisters, but also helps each other on a daily basis.

Therefore, An Lingrong felt comforted by Shen Meizhuang's apology.

Shen Meizhuang was aloof by nature, and this time she lost her composure because of Zhen Huan's accident.

After calming down, Shen Meizhuang thought clearly about those details that she had not considered, and then she was able to directly apologize for her previous "unintentional behavior". It can be seen that in Shen Meizhuang's heart, every bit of time she spent with An Lingrong was not in vain.

"Okay, now that we've gotten this out of the way, let's think about what to do!"

An Lingrong stood up and stretched her stiff body. Then she reached out and patted Shen Meizhuang on the shoulder. She said in a low voice, "Besides us who want to rescue Sister Huan, I'm afraid there are many people who want to take advantage of our misfortune!"
