An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Sister, I have to tell you that when the Queen Mother took me to Shoukang Palace, she asked me what we talked about when we were together..."

When An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan's eyes widen slightly after hearing what she said, revealing her inner nervousness, she paused.

Then, An Lingrong continued, "I don't want to cause you any trouble, so I haven't told the Queen Mother about anything about my father."

Although Zhen Huan had good intentions, she told her immediately after her mother's family passed on the news.

But even so, it cannot conceal the fact that this is an act that violates the "rules of our ancestors."

Even if the Queen Mother and others were doing the same thing, who would dare to blame her?

If the same thing happened to Zhen Huan, it would only give the Queen Mother one more reason to punish her.

Therefore, whether for herself or for Zhen Huan, An Lingrong had to deny it.

"That being said, the Queen Mother - does she really believe this?"

In Zhen Huan's heart, Empress Dowager Uya has always been very wise. Even though she usually doesn't ask about the affairs of the harem, as long as she wants, she can definitely control all the concubines including the queen in the first place.

This is not just a suppression using "filial piety", but also comes from the Queen Mother's own ability.

So, when An Lingrong finished speaking, Zhen Huan’s first reaction was that it was over, everything was over!

"Sister, don't worry."

An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan's uneasiness and said immediately, "Whether the Queen Mother has doubts in her heart or not, she let me leave and did not send anyone to look for my sister afterwards. You can understand what the Queen Mother meant!"

They currently have no idea what the Queen Mother really thinks.

However, there is one thing that An Lingrong can be roughly certain of, and that is that the Queen Mother does not want to disrupt the already precarious "balance" in the harem.

Frankly speaking, if Concubine Hua had not chosen to take action against An Lingrong this time, the Empress Dowager might not have meddled in this “other matter”.

Therefore, letting An Lingrong go naturally meant that the Queen Mother did not want to pursue the matter any further.

"Then I'll pay attention."

Seeing that An Lingrong's words made sense, Zhen Huan couldn't help but nod her head and then said that she would be careful and cautious.

Zhen Huan's "cautious defense" was also very simple. Just like An Lingrong, she simply pretended that she had never said those words to her. She should be like this in front of others and behind others.

"Ah."

An Lingrong nodded, personally escorted Zhen Huan to the door, and then watched her disappear at the gate accompanied by Cui Jinxi.

"My lady, Concubine Wan has gone back, it's time for you to go in."

Fang Ruo brushed off a speck of dust from An Lingrong's shoulders and reminded her that Zhen Huan had returned to the palace.

"Ok, I know."

An Lingrong withdrew her gaze and went back to the bedroom with Fang Ruo.

Another day passed, and this time it was Shen Meizhuang who sent Caiyue, who was by her side, to look for An Lingrong in person.

"Madam An, my master already knows about your situation over the past two days. The reason why I sent this servant here is to tell you..."

Caiyue is Shen Meizhuang's confidant, and to some extent, she also represents Shen Meizhuang's direct trust.

The fact that he chose to send Caiyue to say these words to An Lingrong shows that the message he wanted to convey is very important.

An Lingrong listened attentively to Caiyue's "retelling".

However, the further she listened, the colder An Lingrong's expression became.

The message that An Lingrong asked Caiyue to bring was actually very simple. It was to tell An Lingrong that An Bihuai had been imprisoned, and the charges included "dereliction of duty", "embezzlement", "delaying military orders", etc.

Anyway, all the conceivable crimes were brought against An Bihuai. Although An Bihuai was not a good person, he seemed to be an unforgivable criminal when he was treated like this.

An Lingrong knew exactly what was going on.

There is no other person who would specifically pick on a small county magistrate like An Bihuai to deal with, except for Concubine Hua who was bored to death in the palace.

Although Concubine Hua stayed in the palace, thousands of miles away from Songyang County where An Bihuai was, there were naturally people willing to serve her.

Shen Meizhuang told An Lingrong through Caiyue not to worry too much about her father.

Although An Bihuai was thrown into prison, the main charge he was held accountable for was "failure to escort food and money", which led to the food and money being intercepted by the enemy and the loss of the battle opportunity. However, An Bihuai was not the main culprit, but his superior Jiang Wenqing!

In addition, when An Bihuai and the others got into trouble, they happened to be in Jeju, where Shen Meizhuang's father was leading his troops. Therefore, Shen Meizhuang asked Caiyue to tell An Lingrong not to worry too much, and she would write a letter to ask her father to take care of An Bihuai.

Caiyue knew the importance of the matter. After receiving instructions from her master, she rushed to Yonghe Palace without stopping and told An Lingrong the news as soon as possible.

"My dear, this is what my master means. Please take care of yourself!"

After Caiyue finished speaking, she saw that An Lingrong had not said anything for a long time, and thought that she was still worried, so she immediately comforted An Lingrong again.

"I know, sister Laomei is worried about you."

An Lingrong's expression was very calm. She cast her eyes on Caiyue and saw that she was still worried, so she said, "Thank you for coming to my place."

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. I am here at the behest of my master. How can it be hard for me?"

Caiyue shook her head, and when she saw that An Lingrong didn't reply, she was about to leave.

But at this moment, An Lingrong called her.

"Wait a minute."

While calling Caiyue to stop, An Lingrong said, "I have two more words to say. I'll trouble you to take them back to Sister Mei."

"Ah? Okay, I'll listen to you, young master, please speak."

Caiyue was a little surprised by An Lingrong's words. After all, she hadn't responded just now, and it seemed a little abnormal that she suddenly wanted to convey a message.

But after listening to An Lingrong's instructions, her eyes widened, and her expression when she looked at An Lingrong became extremely shocked and surprised.

"Go."

An Lingrong waved her hand and allowed Caiyue to leave without further explanation.

"Yes……"

Caiyue hesitated for a moment, but didn't dare to say anything more, so she bid farewell to An Lingrong.

"My dear, are you really not going to intervene in the matter with the master?"

Not long after Caiyue left, Aunt Fangruo walked in and asked An Lingrong this question as soon as she came up.

Regarding the matter of An Bihuai, although An Lingrong and Zhen Huan had said that they should not mention it in front of others, so as to avoid those words reaching the ears of the Empress Dowager and causing unnecessary trouble.

However, people like Fang Ruo and Cui Jinxi are not only the head maids in their palaces, but also their own "advisers".

Therefore, after learning that Caiyue brought Shen Meizhuang's words to An Lingrong, Fang Ruo knew at the first moment that this was probably related to An's father.

"I am naturally worried, but I know that at times like this, we cannot afford to make any mistakes."

An Lingrong said, "Let's wait and see. I believe that with God's help, if my father is innocent, he will be safe!"

After saying this, An Lingrong closed her eyes.

When Fang Ruo heard her say this, she felt it made sense at first glance.

But when she thought about it carefully, Fang Ruo felt that something was not right, and her expression suddenly became strange.
