An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 361: Indistinguishable from the Snipe and the Clam

"Lingrong, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Zhen Huan originally thought she understood what An Lingrong meant, but after listening to An Lingrong's explanation of the origin and subsequent processing of the jade bead, she was instead a little confused.

It is easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.

Of course, Zhen Huan would understand this truth.

Having said that, Zhen Huan had no idea what kind of difficult-to-defend "hidden arrow" An Lingrong could protect her from by doing this.

"Then let me explain it to my sister."

An Lingrong only gave Liuyun a look, and he immediately understood what she meant and was about to leave the main hall.

Seeing this, Liu Zhu turned her gaze to Zhen Huan who was standing beside her.

Whether she should also avoid it is not a decision that Liu Zhu can make on her own. It all depends on what Zhen Huan means.

"Forget it, you go down first."

Having said that, how could Zhen Huan not understand that An Lingrong did not come simply to visit her today, but wanted to convey some other message?

Now that An Lingrong has asked people to leave for her and the others, Zhen Huan naturally has to send her maid away as well. This back and forth is the way of etiquette.

"Yes."

After receiving the instructions, Liu Zhu nodded without saying a word, and then followed Liu Yun out the door.

After the two of them left and closed the door, An Lingrong said, "If I'm not mistaken, Sister Huan must be having a hard time lately, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhen Huan's eyes flickered.

"You..." Looking at An Lingrong, An Lingrong hesitated for a moment before finally sighing, "How did you know?"

"I didn't intend to hide it from my sister. Xin Chang came yesterday. First, she came to visit me, and second, she told me about a discovery she made. It was also out of kindness."

An Lingrong knew that Zhen Huan was very tight-lipped. Even if Zhen Huan knew that Concubine Xin had tipped her off, it would not affect Concubine Xin's safety.

But if I don't say it, it will be difficult to gain Zhen Huan's trust.

"Xin Changzai?"

Upon hearing the name, Zhen Huan's brows immediately frowned, and then she picked up the tea beside her and took a big gulp, motioning An Lingrong to continue speaking.

Seeing Zhen Huan suddenly make such a big move, An Lingrong's eyes flashed, and she told Zhen Huan how Concubine Xin discovered the conversation between Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo.

"Lady Cao!"

Halfway through listening, Zhen Huan frowned and then took a breath.

When An Lingrong saw this, she knew that she had probably guessed most of it before.

Ever since she came over, Zhen Huan looked different, as if she was worried about something, and her behavior was very different from usual.

Now it seems that the reason for Zhen Huan's unusual transformation is very clear.

"So, Sister Huan, are you still wondering why I gave you this?"

An Lingrong handed over the box again with a smile, along with her worry and concern for Zhen Huan.

"My current situation is far from that point, but you actually care about me in your heart, which shows that my friendship with you is not in vain."

Zhen Huan sighed in her heart, then took the box from him and held it tightly in her own hands.

"Sister, can you tell me what happened to you these days?"

When An Lingrong saw that she accepted her gift, the smile on her face became more genuine, and she then asked whether Zhen Huan had any conflict with Concubine Hua again.

"Alas, it has nothing to do with me. It's just that as the saying goes, when you are at home, disaster may come from the sky. There are many things that you and I cannot completely avoid. There is really nothing we can do about it."

With a wry smile, Zhen Huan didn't keep anyone in suspense and told her about how Cao Qinmo had suddenly shown her great courtesy and had come to visit her every few days with gifts.

"It seems that she was either assigned by Concubine Hua, or she wants to find a new partner!"

An Lingrong gave Zhen Huan a meaningful smile.

"Stop talking nonsense." Although Zhen Huan knew that An Lingrong was trying to comfort her, so she deliberately said such a joking remark, she still couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her, "What kind of person is Cao Qinmo? You don't know, don't I know it too!"

In Zhen Huan's eyes, An Lingrong usually stayed at home and rarely went out, and she didn't have close contacts with the other concubines in the harem, so she naturally didn't understand how deep Concubine Cao's scheming was.

However, Zhen Huan had contact with the other party more than once, and they even worked together in the past.

When Cao Qinmo shows his affection, it's usually not a good thing!

"I really don't know what Concubine Cao has in mind, but please wear this bead. In the hot summer, it can not only repel mosquitoes, but also help you concentrate. For you, it is more effective than keeping it next to me."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "As for Concubine Hua... I don't think she is a cause for concern."

"What can you do?"

Zhen Huan said: "If it is only for a short time, then Concubine Hua is nothing to worry about. I am afraid that she will come back again in the spring breeze."

By then, there will be endless troubles.

Zhen Huan did not say the last half of the sentence.

She believed that An Lingrong could understand what she meant, so there was no need for her to explain it in detail.

“It’s really a hassle.”

An Lingrong said: "After a while, we have to go back to the palace. When we get back to the palace, there will naturally be others who will come to fight with us."

"Is there anyone who can compete with Concubine Hua?"

Zhen Huan felt that An Lingrong was a little too naive and idealistic. Although the number of concubines in the Old Summer Palace was not complete and they were now clearly divided, they would be watching the fun from the other side of the river, or they would be fighting against each other in pairs, but it would be difficult to achieve an overwhelming victory.

But even after returning to the palace, the fighting between open and secret became more intense, and Concubine Hua was invincible no matter what.

Even the Queen couldn't openly attack Concubine Hua, let alone others.

"Hahaha, don't worry about this, sister."

An Lingrong knew that Zhen Huan was confused, but she just kept it a secret.

Her words naturally aroused Zhen Huan's curiosity.

"What a sharp-tongued girl! Will you tell me?"

Zhen Huan was feeling a little heavy-hearted, thinking that even before she could make any move, Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo had already been eyeing them.

But after An Lingrong's advice, Zhen Huan's mood changed greatly.

At the same time, An Lingrong's deliberate suspense made Zhen Huan more and more curious.

As she spoke, she stood up from her seat and smiled maliciously, "If you don't want to tell me, then you can't blame me, your sister!"

"Don't! I said! Just be quiet and don't do anything!"

When An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan was about to reach out to her, her eyelids jumped and she quickly raised the white flag of surrender.
