No matter what Hua Fei's original intention was, the Queen was indeed made to faint by her in public!

So, after An Lingrong and the others helped the Queen into the inner hall, the entire Jingren Palace exploded like a pot of boiling water and became a mess in an instant.

Although Jianqiu remained calm in the face of danger and ordered people to call the imperial physician, the subsequent waiting for the imperial physician to come and treat the patient as well as to prescribe and get medicine kept everyone busy until the moon was at its highest point in the sky.

Concubine Hua caused a big disaster. She showed an expression of indifference on her face, but she was a little panicked in her heart.

According to her personality, Hua Fei would have just left, but the Queen had not woken up yet, so Hua Fei hesitated again and again and finally decided to stay in Jingren Palace.

This farce caused such a big commotion that it could not be concealed. When Jianqiu went to invite the imperial physician with great fanfare, the news spread to everyone in the palace.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Just when Concubine Hua was getting restless, Yongzheng finally arrived.

"emperor!"

When she heard that the emperor was coming, Concubine Hua's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found her backbone. She hurried over and said in a plaintive voice, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

She looked aggrieved and her beautiful eyes were filled with sadness, as if she was the one being bullied.

"Don't say anything for now. I'm going to go see the queen."

Yongzheng shook his head at Concubine Hua, his expression not looking very good. After saying this, he walked straight towards the inner hall.

As soon as the emperor left, Concubine Hua, who was struck by lightning, came to her senses. She was shaky and finally fell on the chair.

"My lady, you must take care of yourself!"

Songzhi was accompanying Concubine Hua, and as she spoke, she wanted to go over and tell Yongzheng that Concubine Hua's condition was not optimistic either.

"Don't go!" Concubine Hua called Songzhi and said with a sad smile, "The emperor has no time to care about me now, so it's useless to say anything."

Just as the emperor understood Hua Fei's character and had already formed his own judgment on the matter, Hua Fei thought she also knew the emperor very well.

Since what he said just now failed to keep the emperor, even if Songzhi said something bad about him, could she still make the emperor change his mind?

Now the queen has not yet woken up. In the eyes of the emperor, he probably thinks that it was he who caused the queen to faint, so she ignored him!

When she thought of this, a hint of cruelty flashed in Hua Fei's eyes.

"Let's investigate carefully to find out who leaked this news!"

Hua Fei slammed the armrest of the chair hard, with a hint of murderous intent between her brows.

"Your Majesty... just now the people from Jingren Palace went to invite the imperial physician, and there was no intention of restraining or concealing the situation at all!"

Songzhi reminded Concubine Hua not to lose her composure. After all, this was the Queen's palace, and the Queen's people were everywhere. At the same time, she tactfully told her that since things had gotten to that point, there was no need for anyone else to tip off her.

"Humph!"

Concubine Hua snorted coldly, but ultimately said nothing. Her hands twisting the handkerchief also revealed her inner uneasiness.

……

"May the emperor be blessed with good fortune! May the emperor be blessed with long life and good health!"

As soon as the emperor walked into the inner hall, everyone was shocked and knelt down one after another. Then, a thunderous roar of greetings was heard.

"How is the Queen?"

The emperor didn't care about these empty formalities now, he just asked about the queen's condition.

The leading doctor Zhang said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the Empress had a headache the other day, and she also caught a cold, which weakened her body. She was also angry and her blood and qi collided, which is why she fell into a coma. I have already written a prescription and asked someone to get the medicine and boil it. After the Empress takes the medicine, she will get better soon after taking a good rest."

"Well, please step back first."

The emperor sat down on a chair beside him, ordered the imperial physician to leave, and then his eyes fell on the queen's face on the bed.

The queen had her eyes closed, her face was pale, her breathing was rapid, and sweat was dripping down her forehead from time to time.

Jianqiu was serving the queen at the side, holding a cool towel in her hand and wiping the sweat off the queen's head from time to time. Her eyes were full of worry when she looked at the queen.

"Jianqiu, what's going on?"

Although the emperor had already heard the general course of events and had an idea in his mind, he still chose to ask Jianqiu at this time.

What he thought in his mind was his own judgment. At the same time, Yongzheng wanted to see from what angle the people in the Queen's Palace would look at this matter.

"Reporting to the emperor, the queen felt unwell when she woke up early, so she exempted the concubines from the ceremony of paying respects, leaving only Chun Changzai and An Ying to take care of her. Then, considering that the six palaces were busy at the end of the year, she was worried that the queen Hua Fei would not be able to handle it alone, so she ordered the queen Qi Fei to bring the noble ladies Fu Cha and Shen Guiren to help take care of it together."

Jian Qiu answered the emperor's question with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes submissive. She paused for a moment and then continued, "I don't know how, but Concubine Qi had a conflict with Concubine Hua and was detained in Yikun Palace by her and was not allowed to leave. Concubine Qi sent a palace maid to report it, hoping that the Empress could come to rescue her. The Empress then summoned the two to ask about the whole story, but then there was another sudden incident..."

Jianqiu explained the circumstances under which the Queen chose to grant the power to Concubine Qi, and also told her about how Zhen Huan discovered Fuzi had been drowned in a well.

The emperor listened to Jianqiu's words and compared them with the information Su Peisheng had collected earlier. He found that the two had a high degree of overlap, so he knew that Jianqiu had not concealed anything from him.

And when Jianqiu finished telling the story that Concubine Hua received the order from the Queen but still chose to trap Concubine Qi in Yikun Palace, and brought people to meet the Queen alone, and finally contradicted the Queen and made her faint, Yongzheng was speechless.

Concubine Hua has a flamboyant personality and becomes spoiled by her favor, so much so that she doesn't even take the Queen seriously.

Yongzheng knew all of this.

After all, this is all due to his pampering.

Out of his preference for Concubine Hua and his reliance on the Nian family, the emperor turned a blind eye to this matter.

But this time, Concubine Hua actually spoke directly to the Queen and even made her faint with anger!

That’s a bit of a big deal!

"Hua Fei did go too far, and the Queen also meant well... Never mind, who did she make things difficult for before?"

Yongzheng first made some judgments as if talking to himself, and then asked Concubine Jianqiu who she had troubled before.

In Jianqiu's narration, there are actually only three main characters, namely Concubine Hua, the Queen and An Lingrong.

Jianqiu understood her queen's intention. In addition to making Concubine Hua fail, she also wanted to praise these new ladies who entered the palace. Only in this way could she achieve the effect of dividing the favor.

Therefore, when she replied, she tried her best to keep the queen in a detached position.

And considering the fact that the queen eventually fainted from anger, the queen is still the biggest "victim"!

In this way, when Concubine Hua launched an attack, An Lingrong became the "main force" who bore the brunt of the fight against her!

Yongzheng didn't have much impression of An Lingrong to begin with, but after listening to Jianqiu's words, a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it is An who promised to serve the Empress this morning."

Jianqiu replied respectfully.

"Did An agree?" Yongzheng frowned, without any specific image in his mind.

"Your Majesty, she is one of the new ladies who entered the palace during this election."

Su Peisheng had served Yongzheng for many years, so he could understand the emperor's words as long as he gave him a look or an expression, so he stepped forward and explained.

"Oh." Yongzheng nodded, and then asked, "Is it in the palace?"

"An Da Ying has been serving the Queen wholeheartedly. He is very tired and is now resting in the side hall!"

When Jianqiu heard the meaning of the emperor's words, she realized that Yongzheng wanted to see An Lingrong, and hurriedly answered about An Lingrong's whereabouts.

"Let her come over, I have something to ask!"

Sure enough, Yongzheng immediately ordered Su Peisheng to go to the side hall and call An Lingrong over, as he had something to ask her.

Jianqiu originally thought that her queen's plan was about to succeed, but looking at the emperor who seemed neither happy nor angry, she felt uneasy for some reason.

Got a question?

This doesn't sound like a reward...

Could it be that the Emperor wanted An to be Concubine Hua's punching bag?
