An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"The flowers, plants and trees in this palace are all taken care of by the greenhouse. Those trees should have been delivered by the greenhouse staff, so there shouldn't be any problems..."

Cui Jinxi is the head maid of Suiyuxuan and is well aware of all these matters, big and small.

So, after An Lingrong raised the suspicious point, she immediately started thinking about it.

However, hearing Cui Jinxi's slightly hesitant tone, Zhen Huan's doubts not only did not disappear, but she became even more nervous.

She knew An Lingrong's character. If she wasn't really worried, she would never have raised such a "question".

At the same time, Zhen Huan recalled what Kang Luhai had said to her when he greeted her when she first moved into Sui Yuxuan.

"I remember Kang Luhai said that the osmanthus tree and crabapple tree in the courtyard were sent by the Empress."

Zhen Huan spoke these words as if she was muttering to herself, but An Lingrong and Cui Jinxi's expressions changed slightly.

There’s a high chance that there’s something wrong with the tree sent by the Queen!

An Lingrong just didn't expect that the Queen had already secretly taken action against Zhen Huan so early?

Compared to An Lingrong who was certain that the Queen had done something behind her back, Cui Jinxi did not dare to be so bold.

But as an elder in the palace, she was also aware of those shady tactics.

It may not be the Queen who did it, but there is no guarantee that other "people with ulterior motives" would interfere!

"Let's go and see it together."

Zhen Huan also wanted to find out the whole story, so she asked everyone to go out and see what was going on.

Outside, Xiao Yunzi was busy working alone with a shovel.

It is now past noon, but the sun is at its hottest. Even though winter is approaching, little Yunzi is still sweating profusely as he works alone under the scorching sun.

"My Lord, why are you here?"

When Xiao Yunzi saw Zhen Huan and An Lingrong coming into the yard together, he was startled, then put down the tools in his hands and hurried over to pay their respects.

"Are you the only one working here?" Zhen Huan frowned and asked, "Kang Luhai didn't come here himself, and didn't let his two eunuchs come to help you?"

Xiao Yunzi answered honestly: "Eunuch Kang said that he injured his waist while on duty a few days ago and is bedridden, so he also needs his apprentice to take care of him day and night."

What he meant was that he couldn't do without someone, and he couldn't let anyone help Xiao Yunzi do these chores.

"Look at how powerful he is. Does he really think he is the master?"

Huanbi has always been disgusted by these things. After hearing what Xiao Yunzi said, her eyes widened and she immediately started cursing.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunzi lowered her head even lower.

"Okay, stop yelling."

Zhen Huan gave Huanbi a look, and Huanbi immediately shut her mouth obediently, but her gaze towards the ear room was still full of anger.

"Is this the soil you dug out of the flower bed?"

An Lingrong was not idle either. While Zhen Huan was talking to Xiao Yunzi, she walked around the flower bed and found that there was something wrong with the soil.

In addition to the normal soil color, there is a part of the soil that is darker in color, as if it has been soaked by something.

"Reporting to Master An, these were dug out from the flower bed by me."

Xiao Yunzi said, "I don't know why, except for the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, which has bloomed before, this crabapple tree has never bloomed. Miss Huanbi said it would be better to move it as soon as possible, so as not to make the ladies unhappy when they see it."

"Hmm." An Lingrong responded casually, then bent down, picked up a handful of soil, put it under her nose and smelled it, and then a look of understanding appeared in her eyes.

It is musk indeed!

Then this matter was most likely secretly arranged by the Queen.

An Lingrong already had the answer in her mind, and then she brushed off the dirt on her hands. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, she smiled and replied, "Although the flowers have not bloomed yet, the dirt is stained with the scent of flowers, so there is a strange fragrance. It's not a big deal, Xiao Yunzi, you can deal with it normally when you get back."

"Yes."

Xiao Yunzi didn't find anything wrong with it, and when she saw that Zhen Huan had no other instructions, she agreed immediately.

"Sister, let's go back."

An Lingrong said this to Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan immediately understood what An Lingrong meant.

I have something to say to myself, but there are so many people around here, so it's not convenient.

Zhen Huan understood, so she dismissed her attendants and returned to the palace alone with An Lingrong.

……

"Lingrong, did you see any clues?"

There were only Zhen Huan and An Lingrong in the main hall, while Huanbi and the others were left outside to guard the place and no outsiders were allowed to approach.

"Ah."

Facing Zhen Huan's question, An Lingrong nodded slowly, and then said: "Sister, you also know that I have been dealing with spices since I was a child, so I am also proficient in this. If I am not mistaken, the reason why those crabapple trees and osmanthus trees cannot bloom is that they have been processed before they were sent to me!"

"Are you sure?"

Although Zhen Huan already had the corresponding guess in her mind, but when she heard An Lingrong say this, her pupils still contracted, and she exerted force with her hands and almost tore the handkerchief.

"Can't be wrong."

An Lingrong said with certainty: "Musk must have been mixed into those trees. Musk is precious and can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but if a woman smells it for a long time, it will harm the mother's body and make it difficult for her to have children. The specific dosage used in the tree is still unknown, but since it has affected the nature of the tree's flowering, it can be seen that a lot of ingredients are used!"

After saying this, Zhen Huan's face turned ugly, and An Lingrong turned to comfort her, "Fortunately, Huanbi asked Xiao Yunzi to replace these trees in advance, so that we were able to discover this matter. Otherwise, over the years... it will definitely affect us!"

"Yes." Zhen Huan nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "But this is our first time in the palace, and we have encountered such a thing. Haha, now we haven't even experienced the experience of being favored, but they have already thought that we may give birth to a dragon descendant in the future. Who is this... or someone else?"

Because An Lingrong said musk was extremely precious, Zhen Huan made a little reasoning and immediately locked her target on the Queen and Concubine Hua.

Looking across the six palaces, someone who can use such a precious thing to harm people and has the ability to arrange matters in the greenhouse shows that this person must be someone with connections in the palace!

However, Zhen Huan was more inclined to believe that it was Concubine Hua who did it!

Not to mention that the Queen appears to be kind in front of others, so she can naturally win more favor than Concubine Hua.

In addition, although Concubine Hua had been in the palace for many years and had been favored by the emperor, she had never been pregnant.

Perhaps, it is for this reason that Concubine Hua has to prepare for a rainy day and eliminate these possible "dangers" one by one in advance!

"It's hard to say."

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan's expression and knew that she must be wrong.

Yes, with Concubine Hua leading the way, the Queen doesn't need to work hard to create her own image. Naturally, many people will feel good about her. After all, everything relies on comparison!

An Lingrong has no intention of exposing the true face of the Queen now. One reason is that she has no evidence in her hands and her words are useless. If she really said those evil words, whether Zhen Huan could believe it or not is one thing, but if there is any grudge in her heart, it will be troublesome again.

Besides, if those words were to spread, it might bring disaster upon oneself. In short, it is totally unnecessary.

An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan's gloomy face, but she took the initiative to remind her: "Sister, now the situation has been resolved temporarily, but Kang Luhai must not be allowed to stay!"

"It's natural."

Zhen Huan also remembered how Kang Luhai had flattered her that day, saying that these osmanthus trees and crabapple trees were to congratulate the "new nobleman". Now that she thinks about it, this might have been Kang Luhai's doing!

By the way, not only Kang Luhai, but also Cui Jinxi needs to be questioned!

At this moment, Zhen Huan felt that Shuiyuxuan was full of dangers.

At the same time, she finally made up her mind to deal with the people in the palace!
