An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 89 Active Fight
The Queen and Shen Meizhuang talked for a long time in Jingren Palace. Naturally, others had no way of knowing the content of their conversation.
And the subsequent development was just as An Lingrong had previously deduced to Zhen Huan. Faced with Caiyue who was murdered and drowned, the Queen indeed showed her mercy and ordered the people in the Imperial Hospital to treat her well.
Following An Lingrong's reminder, Zhen Huan asked Cui Jinxi to inform Wen Shichu early on that if the Queen issued an order, he must recommend himself.
Wen Shichu, mindful of his childhood friendship with Zhen Huan, and seeing that everyone in the Imperial Hospital was afraid of Concubine Hua and did not dare to take on this hot potato, stepped forward and took the initiative to take charge of the matter.
In response to this, all the imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief. Jianqiu, who came to convey the Queen's order, was able to return and report smoothly. Everything went as planned and did not arouse suspicion from any party.
"Lingrong, it's just as you speculated before. The Queen really wants to keep things quiet!"
After receiving Cui Jinxi's report, Zhen Huan found An Lingrong early the next morning and told her her judgment.
Because the person who drowned was Shen Meizhuang's maid, the Queen called Shen Meizhuang over naturally to deal with this matter.
But in the end, apart from asking the imperial physician to treat Caiyue, the Queen had no intention of investigating the matter further, and even Songzhi was not punished.
This way of dealing with things can really help to calm things down!
"Although the Queen is the master of the six palaces, it is not a good time to confront Concubine Hua. Otherwise, if the incident is brought to the Emperor, it will be a shame for nothing."
An Lingrong was not surprised by the Queen's actions.
At a time like this, it is better to be still than to move. The Queen is well aware of the way to protect herself. Even though she hates Concubine Hua to the core, she will never act rashly before she is absolutely sure.
"But I'm afraid Sister Mei will act impulsively..."
From an objective perspective, Zhen Huan could also feel the Queen's helplessness.
But she also understood Shen Meizhuang, and knew that this sister had her own pride.
Shen Meizhuang would never swallow her anger when such a thing happened to her personal maid.
In the past, although Concubine Hua openly and covertly pressured and excluded Shen Meizhuang and others, Shen Meizhuang was unwilling to break off relations with her and always tried to find ways to deal with it and maintain superficial peace.
However, after this incident, Shen Meizhuang would definitely classify him as an enemy.
However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and Zhen Huan was not optimistic that her good sister could compete with Concubine Hua.
"Sister, if you are worried, we will talk to Sister Mei when we meet her later. Just remember to stop when you are right."
An Lingrong gave Zhen Huan a reminder to prevent her from saying something wrong due to her concern.
They are not the parties involved, so they can stand from an objective perspective and look at the problem rationally.
But Shen Meizhuang is different. She is probably still immersed in this matter at the moment.
When he is emotional, even Zhen Huan's words with good intentions may not be accepted by him, and may even have their true meaning distorted.
If Zhen Huan had not made preparations early and a rift had arisen between the sisters, it would have been a real loss.
"I see."
Zhen Huan nodded to show that she understood.
As usual, they went to Jingren Palace to pay their respects to the Queen, but for various reasons, people like Concubine Qi, Concubine Hua, Noble Lady Fucha, etc. were not present.
There were not many concubines in the harem to begin with, and without these few, the number would be even smaller.
"Sister Mei..."
Zhen Huan and An Lingrong walked into Jingren Palace together, and then went to Shen Meiyu's side immediately, whispering to comfort her.
An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang and saw that she looked haggard, with two obvious dark circles under her eyes, obviously she had not slept all night.
Then, An Lingrong turned her gaze to Cao Qinmo.
Cao Qinmo was originally talking to Lipin beside her. The two were talking and laughing happily, and seemed to be talking about something happy.
At this moment, she seemed to sense something and looked back, and her eyes met An Lingrong's.
The two people's eyes met for a moment, and then Cao Qinmo looked away as if nothing had happened. However, An Lingrong found that the smile on her mouth became deeper and deeper, so she was sure that she was complacent because she had successfully tricked Shen Meiyu.
In Cao Qinmo's plan, Shen Meizhuang was the first target to be attacked.
As long as Shen Meizhuang is brought down, she and Zhen Huan will naturally not be a concern.
Caiyue was the most capable palace maid beside Shen Meizhuang. Caiyue was the first to get into trouble, which naturally made Shen Meizhuang lose her composure.
"The Queen is here!"
Just as An Lingrong was thinking, the Queen finally came out.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"
As soon as the queen appeared, the concubines stopped whispering and greeted her in unison.
"No need to pay tribute."
The Queen called out, and then her eyes lingered on the empty seats for a moment, and she said calmly, "Concubine Qi has not yet recovered from her illness, and Noble Lady Fucha is still in her period, so how come Concubine Hua can't come either?"
Jian Qiu said, "Your Majesty, no one from Yikun Palace came to report that Concubine Hua was unwell."
Upon hearing this, the Queen turned her gaze to Cao Qinmo.
This noble lady Cao is Concubine Hua's trusted aide. The Queen turned her attention to her in order to let Cao Qinmo take the initiative to express her position.
If she chooses to remain silent, the Queen will take action directly!
Understanding the Queen's intention, Cao Qin said calmly, "Reporting to the Queen, Concubine Hua felt a little unwell this morning. She may have caught a cold, so it is inconvenient for her to come."
"Oh?"
The Queen raised her eyebrows and said, "If you have caught a cold, why didn't you call the imperial physician and didn't you tell me?"
"This……"
Cao Qinmo certainly couldn't say that Concubine Hua did it on purpose. Facing the question, she showed an embarrassment on her face, and finally said: "I am stupid, but I don't know what your majesty's intentions are..."
"That's all."
The queen waved her hand as if she had no intention of embarrassing Cao Qinmo. She turned around and said, "Since you don't know, I won't embarrass you, Jianqiu..."
"The servant is here."
Jianqiu bowed respectfully and waited for further instructions from the Queen.
The Queen said, "I also caught a cold a few days ago. At that time, Doctor Li from the Imperial Hospital gave me a prescription that worked really well. Please ask Doctor Li to go to Yikun Palace and take a good look at Concubine Hua. If you are sick, you must treat it and take medicine. Otherwise, how can you get better?"
"Yes, I understand, slave."
Jianqiu agreed, and then stood silently aside.
Cao Qinmo didn't expect the Queen to do such a thing, and her expression froze for a moment.
Concubine Hua is in good health, how could she catch a cold?
The reason why she didn't come was purely intentional, just to embarrass the queen!
But if the Queen sends imperial physicians to Yikun Palace, even if these physicians are shrewd and have their own ways to deal with the situation, Concubine Hua will inevitably be unhappy about it. If she takes her anger out on herself, wouldn't that be an unprovoked disaster?
Cao Qinmo was extremely confused for a moment, and was thinking of other ways to please Concubine Hua.
The Queen looked at the haggard Shen Meizhuang and asked with concern: "Lady Shen, did you not get enough rest?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just can't help tossing and turning because of what happened to Caiyue."
Shen Meizhuang couldn't even smile, and keeping her tone calm was the result of her trying her best.
As soon as these words were spoken, the queen also sighed, and then said a few words of comfort.
"Today's weather is changing, and not only are people more likely to get sick, but if you're not careful, you could fall or get hurt, and the consequences could be serious or minor."
The queen was concerned about everyone, and then changed the subject and said, "Similarly, you must also manage your subordinates well. As slaves, you must have the consciousness of slaves. On weekdays, you must serve diligently and not argue or quarrel wantonly. Only in this way can there be harmony in the palace!"
"Yes, I will follow your instructions!"
As soon as the queen finished her words, there was another round of responses from the audience.
The queen nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are very sad, and I am also deeply saddened. You must hurry up. If you can get pregnant with a dragon descendant as soon as possible, you will be able to comfort the Emperor and me!"
After saying this, the queen shook her head, looking like she had a headache again, and then she hastily dismissed everyone.
"Sister Mei, wait for us."
An Lingrong left Jingren Palace and turned around to stop Shen Meizhuang with Zhen Huan.
"My two sisters..."
Shen Meizhuang originally thought that An Lingrong and Zhen Huan were going to persuade and comfort her again, but what An Lingrong said to her next was unexpected.
