An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 40 Corpse Floating in the Well

"Then listen to your aunt."

An Lingrong understood that Jianqiu not only did not want to alarm the Queen with this matter, but was also probably because Zhen Huan looked similar to Chun Yuan.

The Queen is now busy dealing with Concubine Hua, and she is also "sick". If Zhen Huan comes out to cause trouble again at this time, it will inevitably make the Queen overwhelmed.

As the Queen's trusted maid, Jianqiu naturally understood how to share her master's worries.

"Yes!" Seeing that An Lingrong was so sensible, Jianqiu's smile suddenly became more genuine, and then she went to find someone to go to the Imperial Hospital with them.

"Thank you, auntie!"

Huanbi is now extremely anxious and at a loss of what to do. No matter what happens, as long as she can find the imperial physician, she will obey.

"Don't panic. Tell me in detail what happened. Why did your sister get sick out of nowhere?"

While comforting Huanbi, An Lingrong asked her own questions.

Clearly, when they came to pay their respects together before, Zhen Huan was fine, but after just a few hours of not seeing each other, she suddenly fell ill. This is too strange!

"My lady An, you don't know, my lady felt a little unwell when she woke up early, it seems that she caught a cold, but she thought that she couldn't delay in paying respects to the queen, and thought that it was nothing serious, so she didn't make it public."

Huanbi first explained to An Lingrong, and then her expression suddenly became terrified as if she had recalled something horrible.

"On the way back to the palace... we met Concubine Li and Concubine Cao. In order to avoid them, the young lady took us to another route. As a result, we smelled a strange smell. Who knew that the young lady would see... a dead body in a deserted well!"

When she said this, the expression on Huanbi's face became extremely distorted, and even her face turned pale.

Originally, Zhen Huan was worried about Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong.

One of them went to cooperate with Concubine Qi to take care of the affairs of the six palaces, and she would definitely offend Concubine Hua in the future. The other one said that she was taking care of the sick, but there was Chun'er, who "knows a person's face but not his heart", watching her covetously, and the situation was worrying!

Thinking of this, when Liu Zhu discovered that Concubine Li and Concubine Cao were walking towards her in the distance, Zhen Huan decisively chose to take a detour in order to avoid trouble.

Who would have thought that after taking such a detour, he would accidentally run into Fuzi who had drowned in a well!

Zhen Huan saw it so clearly at that time that she was frightened out of her wits in an instant. She finally managed to force herself back to the palace, but she fainted immediately!

Although Huanbi and the others were also frightened, it was not their first sight, so the psychological impact was less.

So, when Zhen Huan fainted, Cui Jinxi immediately took charge and asked Huanbi to come to Jingren Palace for help.

"Ugh!"

When An Lingrong heard this, she took a breath.

She didn't expect that Zhen Huan would actually find Fu Zi who was drowned this time, and was so scared that she fainted.

Looking at Huanbi at this time, An Lingrong quickly adjusted her expression and said, "Huanbi, human life is at stake. When Aunt Jianqiu brings someone here, let her go to the Imperial Hospital to ask the imperial physician to treat her sister, and you have to go with me to see the Empress!"

"what?"

Huanbi didn't expect An Lingrong to say that. She was stunned for a moment, and then she stumbled and said, "Why, why is that?"

She just wanted to find an imperial physician to treat her young lady. Although she had originally thought that it might alarm the Queen, looking at the meaning of what An Da said, it seemed that it was not that simple at all!

An Lingrong said in a serious tone: "I said human life is at stake. It's not just my sister's situation that is urgent. You found the corpse of a palace maid floating in the well. This matter is of great importance! Whether the palace maid fell into the well by accident or for other reasons, you should be the first to discover her. Of course, you should report it to the Queen!"

Except for a very small number of palace maids who were cast into slavery for some reason, most of the rest were bondservants from the Eight Banners.

Because of this, when dealing with palace maids who are of bondservant origin, even if they are the mistress of a palace, they should not be subjected to severe punishment easily!

Now, that person was drowned!

When such a big event happened, it was natural to inform the Queen first.

In their previous life, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan walked along that path by accident and saw Fuzi in the well again.

That incident also frightened Zhen Huan and An Lingrong greatly. After returning home, Zhen Huan even claimed to be ill and did not go out. It was not until a long time later that she returned to normal.

Now that An Lingrong has learned about this, it is impossible for her to hide it from the Queen, regardless of emotion or reason.

What's more, An Lingrong knew clearly that Fu Zi was persecuted to death by Concubine Hua!

"An agreed. I will let Huichun go with you to the Imperial Hospital. After the Imperial Physician has examined Wan Changzai, let Huichun come back!"

Just as An Lingrong and Huanbi were explaining the pros and cons of this matter, Jianqiu came back and brought out another person, who was Huichun.

"Aunt Jianqiu, please let Aunt Huichun go to the Imperial Hospital alone to ask for an imperial physician to come back to Suiyuxuan to treat Concubine Wan!"

Seeing that Huanbi was still shivering there, An Lingrong took the initiative to make a request to Jianqiu.

"Why is that?" Jian Qiu frowned, but still kept smiling, "Is there something else?"

"Yes." An Lingrong nodded and said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to meet the Empress together with Huanbi!"

"Ok?"

Jianqiu frowned even deeper, but seeing An Lingrong's extremely serious expression, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "An Lingrong, if you have anything to say, you can tell me and I will report it to the Queen."

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. However, this matter originated from the fact that Wan Chang accidentally saw a palace maid drowned in a well beside the palace road. Human life is at stake. I am afraid that only when I meet the Empress in person can I explain the situation clearly."

An Lingrong understood what Jianqiu meant, because the Queen had already asked her to go back on her own. Even the news that Zhen Huan was ill was only stopped when it reached Jianqiu. The reason behind this was that the Queen did not want An Lingrong to be blacklisted by Concubine Hua now and targeted later.

But An Lingrong believed that the news she brought to the Queen would definitely "cheer her up"!

"what!"

Jianqiu didn't expect An Lingrong to say such words. Her pupils shrank instantly. Then she didn't dare to delay and quickly brought An Lingrong in, and at the same time quickly asked about what happened.

……

"How could such a thing happen!"

As expected, after the Queen heard An Lingrong's retelling and personally asked Huanbi about it, she also exploded with rage. "It is too bizarre that such a thing could happen in the six palaces under my rule! Jianqiu, tell Jiang Fuhai to take people to investigate!"

The Queen asked An Lingrong to sit down and signaled Jianqiu to send someone to check the details.

"Reporting to the queen, when I came again, I had already asked Jiang Fuhai to do it."

This was not the first time that Jianqiu followed the queen. When it came to matters like this, she didn't need the queen's order to take action.

After she asked Huanbi, she went straight to her old partner and asked Jiang Fuhai to take the lead, so that when the queen wanted the result, they could report it quickly.

Hearing this, the Queen's expression eased a little, but she said to An Lingrong: "Poor Wan Changzai, she had to witness such a thing at such a young age. Fortunately, you have your own ideas. When you leave, take the ginseng from my palace and use it to calm yourself and Wan Changzai down!"

This comes from the Queen's appeasement and recruitment.

"Thank you for your gift, Madam. I thank you, and I also thank you on behalf of Wan Changzai for your love and care."

An Lingrong naturally understood the Queen's hidden meaning, but she agreed readily.

Soon, Jiang Fuhai walked quickly into Jingren Palace and reported his investigation results to the queen in a shrill voice.

"Your Highness, I have already taken people to check. The maid in the well is Fuzi! The palace servants who followed her estimated the time and found that Fuzi must have been drowned in the well for many days, which is why there is a strange smell!"

"Can you confirm this?"

After hearing this, the queen's expression suddenly changed.

"That's right!" Jiang Fuhai answered respectfully.

"Great! That's really great!"

Hearing this, the queen slammed the armrest of the throne, and the anger on her face deepened.

At the same time, the sound of a young eunuch singing a ceremonial announcement was heard outside the palace door.
