"Sister Xin, if I remember correctly, you and the Fucha clan... don't seem to have any grudges against each other, right?"

When An Lingrong heard the news that Concubine Xin brought to her, her heart sank slightly.

Ever since Concubine Hua deliberately framed her, she had indeed not been out for a while.

Fang Ruo’s biggest goal at the moment is to take good care of herself and not to waste time in finding out all kinds of gossip. As a result, she didn’t know about this until Xin Changzai came.

Then again, even if the Queen wanted to reinstate Fucha, what did that have to do with Concubine Xin?

Although she cannot be said to be a non-confrontational person, she usually guards her own little piece of land and will not easily come into conflict with others.

From An Lingrong's perspective, whether Fu Cha was banished to the cold palace or reappeared in the harem, she posed no threat to Concubine Xin.

In this case, the reason why Xin Chang was so excited is very curious.

"Your Majesty, you don't know!"

Facing An Lingrong's question, Xin Changzai looked as if she had expected it, and immediately said, "As the queen said, I have nothing to do with Fu Cha Changzai, but she is extremely arrogant and domineering. When she was pregnant earlier, she caused unrest in the palace. Although she had a miscarriage due to Yu's aggression, she did not settle down and almost harmed Yunpin. If she regains favor, how can everyone accept her?"

"Sister, you hit the nail on the head."

An Lingrong nodded first, agreeing with Xin Changzai's point of view.

Then she smiled at Xin Changzai.

"With your intelligence, sister, you must know that if we rely on Concubine Qi alone, even if we visit Fu Cha every day, we won't be able to make her leave Jiaolu Pavilion, right?"

After An Lingrong said this, Xin Changzai's expression suddenly changed.

She really hadn't had time to think about this question before.

The reason for being nervous was that ever since Fu Cha was moved to Jiaolu Pavilion by the Queen, she seemed to have disappeared from the harem. She could not come out on her own initiative, and others would not go to visit her. Over time, all traces of Fu Cha's existence naturally faded away.

But after An Lingrong said this, Xin Changzai realized that things were far from that simple.

Concubine Qi was not a brave person. Besides, she had not visited Fucha before, so why did she suddenly start visiting her so frequently?

Was this really Concubine Qi's own idea, or was there some other reason?

The more Xin Chang thought about it, the more terrified she felt, and her eyes widened.

"Some things don't need to be made clear."

Taking in the fear on Concubine Xin's face, An Lingrong shook her head.

In fact, this question is not complicated at all and it is easy to think about.

Concubine Qi has always been dependent on the Queen. Isn't the reason she did this because she got the Queen's instructions?

Anyone who is not a fool and notices this situation can easily think of this relationship.

However, no matter what she thought, Concubine Hua was now in a state of despair, while the Queen, on the contrary, was becoming more and more prosperous.

At this juncture, who would dare to offend the Queen?

"Ah, it was my fault, please don't mind it, Your Majesty!"

After a moment of silence, Xin Changzai pursed her lips and took the initiative to apologize to An Lingrong.

She was originally worried that Fu Cha's comeback would be detrimental to An Lingrong, so when she noticed something bad was going on, she immediately rushed over to report to An Lingrong. As for the rest, she only realized something was wrong after An Lingrong pointed it out.

Unfortunately, it was of no use even if he figured it out. Xin Chang's feeling of powerlessness in her heart only became stronger than before.

On the other hand, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

Why would the Queen want to find a way to let Fucha come out again for no reason?

Simply because of being virtuous and generous?

That's more like having nothing to do after eating!

So, I'm afraid there's another reason...

"Sister Xin, you don't need to apologize. I should thank you for thinking of me and coming to tell me this right away."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "Also, sister, you don't have to worry too much. We don't know the situation of Fu Cha, and we don't know whether it is the emperor's intention or... Of course, it is also possible that Concubine Qi suddenly remembered such a distant relative and couldn't bear it, so she took action to take care of her. Who knows the details?"

In An Lingrong's opinion, Concubine Qi's actions were definitely the work of the Queen.

But when facing Xin Changzai, whether it was to appease her or to do enough superficial work first, An Lingrong's words gave Xin Changzai a stepping stone so that she could step down and not continue to guess over and over again, and finally scare herself.

Xin Changzai was not an innocent person. Of course, she knew that the Queen was not as "pure and kind" as she seemed. It's just that the women in the harem were not in control of their own destiny. Some of them were burdened with the expectations of their families and were under tremendous pressure.

In this situation, friendship between sisters or one's true character all have to take a back seat.

Benefit!

This is the eternal thing that can be used to measure each other.

Xin Changzai also felt An Lingrong's kindness.

What you think in your heart is one thing, but at least now everyone can relax.

Xin Changzai never mentioned those things again, as if she had never said them.

After chatting with An Lingrong for a while, Xin Changzai remembered that it was almost time, so she said goodbye to her and ran to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

The idea of ​​holding on to the Empress Dowager as a supporter was also proposed by An Lingrong.

Xin Changzai thought it made sense and implemented it tirelessly.

It just so happened that the Queen Mother felt lonely because Shen Meiyu could not come to accompany her often, and at the same time she was annoyed by Concubine Hua who came to show her presence every now and then. At this time, the arrival of Concubine Xin was undoubtedly very welcome.

At least the Queen Mother was happy to see Concubine Xin.

Xin Changzai's character was very straightforward and not annoying, but because her appearance was not outstanding, she was easily ignored by the emperor.

The Queen Mother had previously warned her son not to favor only his new or old loves, such as Zhen Huan or Concubine Hua.

We also need to divide our attention among other concubines in the harem, which is the only way to achieve a long-term balance.

Yongzheng agreed on the surface, but everyone saw what he actually did.

The emperor continued to do as he pleased, and no one else dared to persuade him except the empress dowager.

Seeing that her persuasion could not change the emperor's mind, the empress dowager, in order to avoid any further rift between mother and son, simply let it go and chose to start with herself.

In this way, although Concubine Xin made Concubine Hua hate her even more, she also obtained the protection of the Empress Dowager as she wished.

For a moment, except for Concubine Hua, everyone else was very happy.
