An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Empress Hua is here!"

The voice of the young eunuch's announcement of the ceremony was heard in the hall, and the Queen's expression changed accordingly.

The anger on his face disappeared, replaced by a faint smile.

After hesitating for a while, the Queen said to An Lingrong: "An Lingrong, please sit down first!"

Originally, the Queen wanted An Lingrong to stay away.

After all, according to Hua Fei's temperament, once she questioned her about the cause of Fu Zi's death, Hua Fei would most likely turn her attention to An Lingrong.

However, this evidence was brought by Huanbi, and the Queen also wanted to use this incident to create a conflict between Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan both live in Suiyuxuan, and she will inevitably be targeted by Concubine Hua in the future. It would be better to let her stay here, so as to see An Lingrong's ability to adapt to changing circumstances!

"Yes."

Although An Lingrong didn't know what the Queen was thinking, she was not afraid of Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua had ridiculed her a lot in her previous life, and because she was close to Zhen Huan, she was frequently targeted by Concubine Hua's faction.

An Lingrong’s response at that time was just one word – “endure”!

At that time, she had no way to fight back and could only swallow her anger, but now, a lack of patience will ruin a big plan!

An Lingrong witnessed how Concubine Hua went from being in glory to being in disgrace, and she also watched the Nian family being purged and overthrown by the emperor.

Therefore, no matter how arrogant Concubine Hua is now, she won’t be able to do so for long.

"Haha, the Queen is ill, but she still thinks about me. I am really terrified!"

Not long after An Lingrong sat down, footsteps were heard from outside the door, and then Concubine Hua, wearing a purple cheongsam and a emerald headband, walked into the main hall of Jingren Palace surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

The Queen had received a tip from Cuiguo earlier and knew that Concubine Qi was trapped in Yikun Palace, so she ordered people to summon Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi to come see her together.

But now Concubine Hua came with a group of servants, and it was obvious that she was not prepared to let Concubine Qi go easily!

This scene made the Queen secretly laugh in her heart. It was so easy for Hua Fei to get into the game, but she remained expressionless on the surface.

After Hua Fei came in, she didn't even look at An Lingrong, but only fixed her eyes on the Queen, and said with a smile: "The Queen looks quite good, I guess she is okay, right?"

"Haha, how can I not be okay when my sister cares about me? But these are old problems that I've had for adults, and they're not really a big deal."

The Queen had a smile on her face, but that smile did not reach her eyes. She said to Concubine Hua, "It's almost evening now. I shouldn't have asked you to come to my place at this time. But I heard that you and Concubine Qi had a quarrel again, so I had to ask about it!"

"Look at what the Queen said. I am concerned about your health, so I came to visit you. It is only natural for me to do so. At the same time, I just want to ask you something in person."

Concubine Hua smiled, and then Songzhi took the initiative to move a chair from the side and asked Concubine Hua to sit down.

This made An Lingrong narrow her eyes. She noticed from the corner of her eye that the Queen's smile faded, while Jianqiu's expression on the side looked even uglier.

However, Concubine Hua has always been arrogant, and the Queen did not say anything, so Jianqiu, the senior palace maid, naturally could not speak up for her master. She could only quickly adjust her expression to avoid giving others a chance to criticize her.

"Since you are so tired, I think you have worked too hard recently. You can just send a maid to report to me. I will understand you."

The Queen looked like she was thinking about Concubine Hua. Without waiting for Concubine Hua to speak, she continued, "Speaking of palace maids, I saw that Songzhi, who was by your side, was not very smart, so I assigned Fuzi, a new palace maid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to your service. But I never saw her again. Do you know why?"

"The Queen Mother has asked about this before. I told her that day that Fuzi was not serving me wholeheartedly. I just said a few words to her, but she ran out of Yikun Palace and has not returned yet. How could I know where Fuzi went?"

Concubine Hua was already full of rage, and this time she came to the Queen to ask for an "explanation" and to vent her anger at Concubine Qi.

Unexpectedly, before he could file a complaint, the Queen brought up Fu Zi again.

Concubine Hua had felt uneasy in her heart because of this a few days ago. Now, facing the Queen's question, her tone naturally revealed a hint of displeasure.

If An Lingrong and Huanbi had not brought the news, the Queen would have been unable to do anything to Concubine Hua.

After all, words are not enough. Concubine Hua insisted that Fuzi ran away to the palace and refused to come back. Could she force Concubine Hua to go find her in person?

But now the Queen has the evidence, and Jiang Fuhai has brought the coroner to verify the cause of Fuzi's death, so she is now fully confident!

"Hua Fei, you said you didn't know where Fu Zi went. I naturally believe you, but did you know that she was drowned in a well in the Imperial Garden?"

The Queen put away her smile and said calmly, "This morning, when Wan Chang was returning to the palace, she took a small path and smelled a strange smell. She went forward to check and found a floating corpse in the well! After reporting this to me, I sent people to check and confirmed that the female corpse was Fuzi. The coroner found that Fuzi was hit hard on the back of the neck and then thrown into the well, drowning!"

"W-what?"

Hua Fei didn't expect that the Queen actually knew so many things. She was panicked at this moment, and her face showed a deep shock. "How could such a thing happen?"

She originally asked Zhou Ninghai to deal with Fu Zi. It was not the first time that the other party had done such a thing for her, so Concubine Hua naturally had confidence in his ability.

But Concubine Hua never expected that this matter would be discovered so quickly, and the Queen also found out the cause of Fuzi's death in such a short time!

Since the Queen asked too suddenly, Concubine Hua was not prepared at all. Seeing the Queen's indifferent expression, she forced herself to calm down and said in a cold voice: "Even if it is discovered, what does it have to do with me? Could it be that the Queen thinks that Fuzi was killed by someone ordered by me?"

"I haven't said anything yet. I just told you about this matter. Why are you so excited?"

What the Queen wants is for Concubine Hua to be excited. If Concubine Hua is calm, then she will find ways to anger her!

Only when Concubine Hua gets angry will she be more easily hooked!

"Haha, the Queen didn't say anything, but she is clearly blaming me. I am really surprised, but how could a mere little palace maid make the Queen mobilize so many troops?"

Although Concubine Hua did not know the Queen's true intentions, she realized that the Queen wanted to use this matter to embarrass her, so she would not let it go. She immediately fought back.

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to An Lingrong and Huanbi, who had remained silent from beginning to end, and said in a cold voice: "Oh, you are the ones who discovered the cause of death of that slave? This is really a coincidence, isn't it? There are so many roads in the palace, how could it be such a coincidence that you found it? Are you trying to slander me out of thin air?"

An Lingrong watched coldly the whole time and never said a word.

After all, in such a situation, she really had no right to speak.

But Concubine Hua was now pointing the finger at her, and An Lingrong saw that the Queen had no intention of speaking.

She suddenly realized that this was another test from the Queen!

Thinking of this, An Lingrong smiled slightly and spoke to Concubine Hua.
