An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 46: Distinguishing the Real from the False

For some unspeakable reasons, An Lingrong would never choose to bring Baojuan with her every time she came to Jingren Palace.

Anyway, if she just wanted to pay her respects to the Queen, she would always come with Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan would also bring Huanbi and Liuzhu, which was enough to handle some daily situations.

But it was already past midnight, and if An Lingrong was allowed to return to Suiyuxuan alone, the Queen was really afraid that something might happen to her on the way.

So, on the one hand, for her own peace of mind, and on the other hand, she could also do An Lingrong a favor in order to win people's hearts, so the Queen asked Jianqiu to go with An Lingrong.

Jianqiu is the Queen's chief maid. Being escorted back personally by Jianqiu is the Queen's grace!

An Lingrong and Jianqiu bid farewell to the Queen, but they did not say a word along the way and were only concerned with getting on their way.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Jianqiu!"

After returning to the vicinity of Suiyuxuan, An Lingrong slowed down and expressed her gratitude to Jianqiu.

"You are too polite, Miss An." Jian Qiu understood that the Queen was very optimistic about An Lingrong, and her attitude towards An Lingrong was also pleasant. "Your Majesty likes Miss An very much, and this time... Miss An also worked hard and was not idle. I saw it with my own eyes, and I have to thank Miss An!"

"I don't deserve your words, aunt. I just did my best to show my appreciation for you. Besides, it's just my duty."

When it comes to dealing with people from the Queen's faction, An Lingrong is extremely skilled.

She knew what to say to achieve the best effect. Now she didn't have to think carefully and could easily make Jianqiu look at her with more satisfaction and appreciation.

"Master An! You are finally back!"

At this moment, the people in Suiyuxuan seemed to have heard their voices talking outside.

As the door opened, Cui Jinxi walked out quickly holding a lantern.

With the help of the light, Cui Jinxi saw that it was indeed An Lingrong who came back, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But with a quick glance, Cui Jinxi noticed that An Lingrong did not come back alone, and there was also Jianqiu by her side. Her eyelids jumped suddenly, but she said cautiously: "Aunt Jianqiu is here too!"

"I am here to escort Lady An back here on the orders of the Empress. Let me ask you one more question, how is Concubine Wan doing?"

Jianqiu smiled at Cui Jinxi and told her the purpose of her visit.

An Lingrong received the inquiring gaze from Cui Jinxi and shook her head slightly at Cui Jinxi.

Cui Jinxi was a smart person and understood what he meant immediately. She knew that Jianqiu came here on orders, but it was mostly just a formality, so she knew how to respond.

"Thanks to the Queen's concern, my young lady has already taken medicine and gone to bed after being examined by the imperial physician. The imperial physician's diagnosis is that she has suffered from a cold, and her mind has been damaged due to excessive worry. Even if she takes medicine, she will have to take good care of herself for a while before she can recover..."

"What happened to Wan Changzai this time was also an accident. As long as he is not seriously injured, I will report it to the Queen."

When Jianqiu heard that Zhen Huan needed to rest for a while, she nodded without showing any extra expression, indicating that she understood. She then continued, "The Queen has specifically instructed that Concubine Wan is ill and Concubine An is also exhausted, so they can be exempted from paying respects and attending to the sick in the next few days and just rest well in the palace."

"Thank you, Queen, for your grace."

Although An Lingrong had already thanked the Queen before, Jianqiu mentioned the Queen's will again, so she naturally had to kneel again.

"I, your servant, would like to thank the Queen for her grace on behalf of my young mistress!"

Cui Jinxi did the same. After thanking him respectfully, she stood up only after seeing Jianqiu nod.

"Okay, An Changzai, take a good rest. I will be leaving now."

After Jianqiu said goodbye to An Lingrong, she turned around and returned to Jingren Palace.

Cui Jinxi watched Jianqiu's figure slowly disappear into the darkness, and only when the light of the lantern in the other party's hand could no longer be seen did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Cui Jinxi turned her gaze to An Lingrong and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Miss An this time!"

"Aunt, please stop teasing me." An Lingrong shook her head and walked into Suiyu Pavilion with Cui Jinxi. Only after Cui Jinxi closed the door did she ask, "Is my sister really okay?"

Earlier, when Cui Jinxi was responding to Jianqiu's question, she gave her a look.

An Lingrong knew at that time that Cui Jinxi would not tell the truth to Jianqiu.

Naturally, she was extremely concerned about Zhen Huan's true situation, and was eager to find out the truth.

"Well, my lady, please follow me."

Cui Jinxi sighed first, then gestured to An Lingrong to follow her to the main hall.

An Lingrong frowned, said nothing, and followed.

……

In the main hall of Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan was lying on the bed. There was only one light on in the room, but it seemed a little dim.

When An Lingrong came in, she saw Huanbi standing by the bed, but Zhen Huan had her eyes slightly closed, as if she was taking a nap.

"Sister needs to rest, so I won't bother you anymore. Just tell me the truth."

An Lingrong did not go any further inside. She lowered her voice and asked Cui Jinxi about Zhen Huan's situation again.

"My young master is fine. You have a cold and you were frightened, but you will be back to normal after taking some medicine for a few days."

Cui Jinxi answered An Lingrong in a low voice, then paused. Seeing that An Lingrong's frown had not relaxed, she continued, "The reason why I didn't say it just now is because the walls have ears!"

As soon as Cui Jinxi said this, An Lingrong understood instantly.

Cui Jinxi is referring to Chun'er!

Considering that she even had to get hints from me before answering Jianqiu's questions, it was obvious that the answer must be far from the truth.

Cui Jinxi was so cautious, no wonder she had to wait until I entered the main hall before telling me the truth.

"That's all...as long as you're fine, sister."

An Lingrong thought for a moment and said, "But I am a little confused by what my aunt said."

"Ms. An has been staying in Jingren Palace, so it is normal for her not to know."

Cui Jinxi understood that An Lingrong did not want to alarm Zhen Huan and the others, so she took her to the inner room at the other end of the hall, and then said in a coquettish voice: "Chun Changzai came back earlier than you, but she did not come here, as if she had no idea what happened to our young master. But when Eunuch Su sent Xiao Xiazi to announce the decree, Chun Changzai also came out, and even wanted to come to our place to make trouble!"

"Oh?" An Lingrong raised her eyebrows and couldn't help laughing: "How could such a thing happen?"

Is Chun'er dissatisfied with the emperor promoting her?

But even so, what is the quarrel between Chun'er and Zhen Huan?

Could it be that Chun'er felt that Zhen Huan could share the same hatred with her?

"As slaves, we naturally dare not speculate on the thoughts of the young masters, but after this incident, it is clear whether it is true or false, and whether it is a human or a ghost."

Cui Jinxi said calmly, "Our young lady woke up earlier and took medicine. Before she went to bed, she told me to be on guard against those who have ulterior motives and to congratulate Young Lady An."

"Thank you, auntie, for relaying this."

An Lingrong smiled back, and then said, "I will come to visit my sister in the morning. I hope you will take good care of me, aunt."

"This is what a servant should do. How can it be hard?"

Cui Jinxi smiled and nodded, then sent An Lingrong out of the hall.

After leaving the main hall, An Lingrong walked towards her own palace.

As soon as she crossed the yard, An Lingrong saw Baojuan guarding the door.

"Little Master!"

As if she had sensed the sound of footsteps, Baojuan, who was still a little sleepy, turned around and saw that it was An Lingrong. She was immediately excited and walked over to her quickly, saying, "You are finally back! I congratulate you, my lady!"

Seeing this, An Lingrong smiled slightly. Before she could say anything, she heard a noise coming from another hall not far away, and the smile on her face immediately became meaningful.

It seems that there are quite a few people who can't sleep in this long night!
