An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 53: Kind Words to Comfort Your Heart
Baojuan was bribed by the Queen and would pass messages to Jingren Palace from time to time. An Lingrong knew this very well.
She couldn't prevent this from happening at the moment, so she chose to keep Baojuan by her side. By doing so, she could keep an eye on Baojuan and also reassure the Queen.
After all, even if An Lingrong found an excuse to send Baojuan away, the Queen had the ability to replace her with another palace maid.
But by then, it would be a situation of "the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light", and once An Lingrong takes any action, the Queen would surely become suspicious, and the situation would then develop even further beyond expectations!
Because of this, after careful consideration, An Lingrong chose to maintain the status quo.
However, having said that, An Lingrong would not completely ignore Baojuan's every move.
Take the present for example, Baojuan seemed to be worried about An Lingrong's situation, so she went out to look for her.
But actually?
In An Lingrong's view, Baojuan actually came to get "information"!
Lei Ming Zhen Huan and An Lingrong went out together, why did they return separately in the end?
Why does Zhen Huan look so frightened?
An Lingrong came back later than Zhen Huan, so what was she doing during this period?
These are all questions that Baojuan is eager to find out!
If she could know the truth, Baojuan could pass on more useful information to Jingren Palace.
An Lingrong understood her "little plan", so she had already made a response early on.
For example, when An Lingrong was having New Year's Eve dinner with Zhen Huan, when the meal was almost over, she found an excuse and sent Baojuan back to her palace, asking her to sort the spices for her and then put them into bottles.
Although Baojuan was reluctant to leave, she could not disobey An Lingrong's order and could only retreat in disappointment.
It was also for this reason that Baojuan knew nothing about the content of Zhen Huan and the others' subsequent activities, and naturally she was not aware of the details of Xiao Yunzi cutting the portrait and going to the Plum Garden to pray for blessings.
However, An Lingrong had foresight. When she came back and met Baojuan, she directly showed her the "Plum Blossom Snow Water" that she had specially collected for Zhen Huan, and also stated that this thing was used to decoct medicine for Zhen Huan, so it was extremely precious.
Baojuan naturally didn't believe this, but it didn't matter whether she believed it or not.
Anyway, An Lingrong has said this, and the answer ends here.
Even though Baojuan felt unwilling in her heart, she couldn't make any bigger waves.
At the same time, Baojuan also sensed the warning in An Lingrong's tone, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"Could it be that the young master already knows about that matter?"
Baojuan felt uneasy as she watched An Lingrong disappear from her sight.
She had been meeting with the young palace maid sent by Jianqiu in private many times during this period. Every time she accompanied An Lingrong to see Zhen Huan, Baojuan would secretly pay attention to Zhen Huan's situation and convey this first-hand information to Jingren Palace.
At this moment, Baojuan felt uneasy, as if she was guilty.
……
"Sister, I'm back."
An Lingrong walked into the main hall, first took off her cloak and asked Liu Zhu who came over to hang it up. Then she turned her head and saw Zhen Huan sitting on the warm kang, but she didn't even change her clothes. It was obvious that she was still worried about that thing.
"Lingrong, you're finally back!"
When Zhen Huan saw An Lingrong returning, she breathed a sigh of relief and a look of relief appeared on her face.
"Master An, our master is really anxious waiting for you!"
Liu Zhu was the most loyal. While helping An Lingrong hang up her cloak, she told her how worried Zhen Huan was about An Lingrong.
"It's all my fault. I made my sister worry."
An Lingrong walked to the warm kang and bowed gently.
"Why are your hands so cold..." Zhen Huan took her hand and let An Lingrong get on the kang, then whispered, "How could I blame you? If I hadn't caused this incident on purpose, how could these things have happened, and I almost implicated you..."
Zhen Huan still feels that what happened in Yime Garden is like a nightmare.
How happy you are when you go out, how scared you are when you come back!
After calming down, Zhen Huan felt extremely regretful.
If she had known that she would run into the emperor, she would rather lie in the palace for a few months than go through this!
"Don't worry, sister. Everything is over now."
An Lingrong signaled Zhen Huan to send Liu Zhu and the others away before she could talk to her.
"Yes." Zhen Huan immediately understood what An Lingrong meant, and said, "Liu Zhu, go and get some of the warm ginger soup so that Lingrong can drink it."
"Yes." Liu Zhu naturally had no doubts. He nodded in agreement and went out to the small kitchen.
It’s called a small kitchen, but actually it’s just the tea room of Sui Yuxuan.
After all, except for the queen of the first palace, the rest of the concubines are not allowed to cook or have their own meals in private.
But people need to drink water, and it is impossible to go to the imperial tea and kitchen all the time in the winter. Therefore, some palaces have their own tea rooms, which are used to boil water and make tea, and can also be used for floor heating.
……
"What happened after I left? Sister, you must tell me the truth. Don't hide anything!"
As soon as Liu Zhu left, Zhen Huan impatiently asked An Lingrong about the developments after she left.
"Sister, I think you know the identity of the person who asked the question."
An Lingrong said this at first, and seeing Zhen Huan's expression suddenly become solemn, she slowly said: "I was thinking at the time that in such a large garden, even if it was New Year's Eve, it was impossible for no one in the palace to be there. The reason why I let my sister go first was because she had the Queen's order after all. If someone saw her, there would be trouble again. This is the first reason. The second is that the words my sister said when she was praying for blessings might be heard by someone with ulterior motives. If I left with her, it would be hard to tell whether it was right or wrong, and the twists and turns involved..."
An Lingrong first explained to Zhen Huan why she stayed alone in Yime Garden and did not leave. Then, after Zhen Huan had digested these words, she told her how the Emperor came out and how he warned Yu Ying'er.
"As expected..."
Hearing that the emperor had come forward, Zhen Huan sighed, and her two thin eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, revealing her inner melancholy.
What you fear is bound to come true. Although she guessed that it was Yongzheng who spoke, she couldn't help but have a little fantasy and luck in her heart.
What if not?
If not, everything will be fine!
As a result, An Lingrong's words instantly shattered Zhen Huan's fantasy, forcing her to return to reality - she seemed to have attracted the emperor's attention again!
"Sister, you also said that if you want to survive in this palace, you need to be favored. Don't be so pessimistic. Things may not develop in a bad direction."
It wasn't the first day that An Lingrong and Zhen Huan knew each other, and some of Zhen Huan's thoughts were also known to her.
Therefore, An Lingrong knew what Zhen Huan wanted.
However, things like "one couple for a lifetime" are rare in the world, let alone an emperor with three palaces and six courtyards.
Moreover, let alone Zhen Huan, even the "Queen Chunyuan", who was the emperor's sweetheart, did not abolish all the six palaces for her when she was in power.
Even Queen Chun Yuan did not have this honor, so how could Zhen Huan, who looked like her, have such extravagant hopes?
But people always have to look forward. Therefore, no matter how upset the emperor is and how much he can't let go of Queen Chunyuan, won't he still favor Nian Shilan?
Besides, none of this has much to do with them!
If you want to live a better, more stable and smooth life now, you must gain the favor of the emperor, so as to deter those who are plotting in secret!
"I see."
After listening to An Lingrong's analysis and persuasion, Zhen Huan was silent for a long time, but finally nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "I am older than you, but I am not as insightful as you, my sister. I am really making trouble for myself!"
