An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Reporting to Her Majesty Hua Fei, I did not see it with my own eyes, but Concubine Wan and her accompanying maids and eunuchs all witnessed the scene, which is why Concubine Wan was frightened and fainted. After that, this matter was reported to Her Majesty the Empress, who sent people to verify the authenticity and let the truth come out."

When An Lingrong faced Concubine Hua, she first told her about the matter of Fu Zi and the connection between them.

After she finished speaking, An Lingrong saw that Concubine Hua was about to speak, so she would not give her the opportunity, and continued: "I know that my words are not taken seriously, so I shouldn't speak. But Your Majesty has called me, and if I don't answer, it would be disrespectful. And what virtue and ability do I and Huanbi have to dare to slander Your Majesty? Your Majesty is deeply loved by the Emperor, and she helps the Empress to manage the six palaces. I am just a newcomer to the palace, and I have only admiration for you. How dare I do such a disrespectful thing?"

An Lingrong's words were clear and logical. They had no motive to be enemies with Concubine Hua, let alone the ability to do such a thing, so Concubine Hua was speechless for a moment.

The Queen originally wanted to use this incident to test An Lingrong's ability to respond on the spot. Now, seeing that she spoke appropriately and acted calmly, a smile appeared on her face again.

Yes, this boy has potential to be cultivated!

"Wait a minute!"

After a while, Concubine Hua seemed to have finally found the "loophole" in An Lingrong's words, and immediately said, "An Lingrong, if it is really like what you said, and if she didn't intend to go against me, then why did Concubine Wan take that path?"

Concubine Hua had just pondered over what An Lingrong had said several times, and then she thought she had found the key to the problem.

Didn’t An Lingrong say that they had just arrived and wouldn’t dare or would not make things difficult for her?

So why did Zhen Huan not take the usual route, but instead chose such a remote and sparsely traveled palace road?

When Concubine Hua said this, except for her and the people around her who didn't think there was anything wrong, the rest of the Queen and Jianqiu all smiled.

An Lingrong did not expect Hua Fei to be so "direct". She hadn't said anything yet, but Hua Fei had already sold herself out. She tried hard to control her expression so as not to reveal a speechless smile.

"Indeed, as the queen said, that road is remote and few people travel. The reason why Wan Changzai chose to take that road was because she met Lipin and Cao Guiren on the road, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble. That's why she took a detour. Who would have thought that she would discover this matter by accident? If we are determined to "go against" the queen, can we predict it in advance?"

An Lingrong deliberately emphasized the word "against", but Hua Fei obviously did not hear the hidden meaning of An Lingrong, and did not think there was anything wrong with her previous questioning of An Lingrong.

"Oh, that's strange to me. Concubine Wan has only seen Concubine Li and Concubine Cao a few times, so why does she want to avoid them? She also said that she doesn't want to cause trouble. In my opinion, she is clearly hiding something!"

Hua Fei's voice instantly rose several degrees, and her sharp eyes glared at An Lingrong, trying to break through her psychological defenses.

To be honest, this tone, this power, combined with Hua Fei's expression, any concubine who had just entered the palace would probably not be able to withstand the scare from her.

The Queen originally thought so too, and was even ready to speak up to help An Lingrong out.

In the Queen's opinion, An Lingrong's performance was already very satisfactory.

But if she continues to stand by and watch, An Lingrong may not be able to withstand Concubine Hua!

Unexpectedly, before the Queen even opened her mouth, An Lingrong responded indifferently.

"Although Concubine Hua is in charge of the six palaces, I'm afraid she is a forgetful lady. She didn't know that Concubine Wan had previously sent away a group of sneaky servants from Suiyuxuan. This is also normal. Among the servants who were sent away was a eunuch named Kang Luhai, who was following Concubine Li at the time. Concubine Wan wanted to get away from him to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble."

With a faint smile on her face, An Lingrong slowly explained why Zhen Huan had to avoid Lipin and her group.

After hearing this, Concubine Hua's face instantly turned gloomy, but she was unable to refute An Lingrong.

Of course, Lipin would not tell Huafei about such a small matter, and Huafei would not ask about it.

"Yes, it is true!"

The Queen also spoke up at this time, "When Wan Chang came to pay her respects to me a few days ago, she came back to me and said that she wanted to dismiss a group of servants in Sun Sui Yu Xuan. I agreed at that time, but Kang Lu Hai should be sent back to the Jingshifang and wait for assignment."

Jian Qiu received the Queen's gaze and said with a smile: "Reporting to Her Majesty, I remember that Kang Luhai was originally assigned to Concubine Duan, but I don't know why he was assigned to Concubine Li..."

Jianqiu said that he didn't know why, but everyone present knew the reason behind it.

Why else?

It was nothing more than Kang Luhai trying to please Concubine Li, which made her ask for it from Concubine Duan!

However, as a concubine, she dared to set her sights on becoming a servant serving beside high-ranking concubines. This was because Concubine Li was close to Concubine Hua, and Concubine Duan was sick and out of favor, and was regarded as a mortal enemy by Concubine Hua, so Concubine Li was able to succeed.

If it had happened under normal circumstances, when Concubine Hua heard about this, she would have praised Concubine Li for doing a good job, but now she just wants to curse!

"Princess Li needs to be taught a lesson about these rules."

The Queen mentioned this casually, and then said to Concubine Hua, "Sister, as an old lady in the palace, there is no need to speak harshly to these new sisters like An Ying, or you will scare them!"

"That's what the Queen said."

Hua Fei's face was stiff, she nodded, and then tried to explain: "I have no other intentions, I just don't want to be slandered for no reason!"

"Yes, it's natural to be unhappy when being slandered for no reason. Sister Hua Fei would think so, and An Da Ying would think so even more."

The Queen's words were a double entendre, both criticizing Concubine Hua and comforting An Lingrong.

An Lingrong didn't take Hua Fei's previous difficult words to heart at all. After all, she was now at a higher level than Hua Fei, and Hua Fei's words were naturally harmless.

"Okay, regarding Fuzi's death, I will order someone to find out the truth."

Of course, the Queen did not think that she could bring down Concubine Hua by using the death of a palace maid. The reason why she took the initiative and kept on pursuing this matter was actually mainly to attack Concubine Hua.

Seeing that Concubine Hua had lost her previous edge after the battle with An Lingrong, the Queen had achieved her goal, so she turned the topic back to the conflict between Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi.

"Sister, I heard someone report that you have detained Concubine Qi in your palace and won't let her leave. Now you won't let her come to see me. What's the reason?"

The Queen's questioning reignited Concubine Hua's anger, which had been extinguished. However, after what happened before, she had lost some momentum. She said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. It was Concubine Qi who brought people here to accuse me. She really doesn't know what she is talking about! Moreover, I would like to ask the Queen, are you dissatisfied with me? Is that why you asked Concubine Qi to handle the affairs of the palace together?"

"Sister, why do you think so?"

When the Queen saw Hua Fei start to talk without thinking, her face darkened instantly. "I want to ask Qi Fei to assist you because I am concerned about your overwork. After all, it is almost New Year's Eve. If Hua Fei falls ill like I am, not only will the six palaces be in chaos, but even the Emperor will have to worry about it. This is naturally not appropriate. But my sister not only misunderstood my meaning, but also wants to blame me? Ahem…"

At the end of her speech, the queen burst into a series of violent coughing fits and then fell limply to one side.

"Your Majesty!" Jianqiu exclaimed and hurried forward to support the queen.

"Queen!"

An Lingrong understood that the Queen's big show had officially begun, and she also showed a look of worry on her face. She took a step forward and stood in front of Concubine Hua who wanted to go over to see what was going on.

"Go and get the doctor!"

Jianqiu called for help while she said to An Lingrong, "An Ying, please help me help the queen onto the bed!"

"Yes!" An Lingrong nodded, and worked with Jianqiu and the others to transfer the "unconscious" queen to the inner hall.

Seeing a group of people carrying the queen away, but no one paying any attention to her, Concubine Hua suddenly felt dizzy.

At this moment, she really wanted to faint!
