When Huichun arrived at Chengqian Palace and explained her purpose to An Lingrong, An Lingrong was still confused, but she still asked Juqing to get the jade bracelet.

"Miss Huichun, do you know why the Queen wants to see me so late?" When Huichun came, An Lingrong had already taken off the hairpins on her head, and now Juqing was doing a simple makeup for her.

"I don't know either. I only know that Doctor Zhang is also in Jingren Palace right now." Huichun thought it was not a big deal, so she spoke without hiding anything.

An Lingrong looked at Huichun and said, "Is your Majesty feeling unwell? Juqing, please hurry up."

An Lingrong looked anxious, and her tone was full of concern. Huichun nodded secretly when she saw this. Now that the Queen asked, she had something to answer...

"Long live the Queen." An Lingrong brought Juqing in and bowed.

"Get up, Juqing and Huichun, please go out and wait. I have something to talk to Concubine Yi alone!"

The Queen spoke in a cold tone, looking at the jewelry box in Juqing's hand, and said, "Leave this!"

After hearing this, Juqing hurriedly handed over the box and then retreated with Huichun.

"Empress, Miss Huichun said that Imperial Physician Zhang came. Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?" An Lingrong stepped forward and asked with concern.

The Queen looked at An Lingrong and saw that she had a ruddy complexion and healthy limbs. Not only did she not look sick at all, but she exuded a youthful aura that made people feel happy when they saw her...

When the Queen saw An Lingrong like this, she also became suspicious. The poison bracelet was found outside with the help of Concubine Qi. It was said that even if it was not worn every day, it could hurt a person's lungs, and over time, it could even take a person's life.

How come An Lingrong is fine now?

Although she didn't believe it at the time, she didn't believe that there could be any poison in the world that could hurt people without any contact, but whether she did it or not would be beneficial to her, so she asked Concubine Qi to give it to Huanbi and let her give it to An Lingrong.

She had seen the poison bracelet before. It was emerald green and looked like the finest jadeite. However, because it was poisonous, she did not take a closer look. Now she just hoped that she was overthinking...

But if she really returned the bracelet to herself...!

"Did you bring the jade bracelet that Huanbi gave you before?" The queen thought about this, suppressed her nervousness, and then spoke.

An Lingrong nodded when she heard the voice, picked up the jewelry box at hand, walked to the Queen, opened the box and placed it on the Eight Immortals Table next to the Queen.

The bracelet was emerald green all over and looked exactly the same as the one I had seen before. Now, looking closely, although the bracelet had flaws, it was obvious that it was of great value.

The Queen looked at the bracelet. Even though she was basically sure that the bracelet was not what Concubine Qi said, she still couldn't help but shrink back and said, "Such a good bracelet, why don't I often see you wearing it?"

"This bracelet is precious, and I like to grind spices. If I accidentally break it, wouldn't it be a pity? So I seldom wear this bracelet.

But if your Majesty likes it, I will give it to you as a gift." An Lingrong picked up the bracelet and presented it to the Queen.

Seeing this, the Queen waved her hands and said, "No need. I just think it's nice and it would be a pity if you don't wear it. You should wear it often in the future."

"Yes." An Lingrong nodded and put the bracelet back into the box. She looked relieved, and in fact, she was indeed relieved!

She had spent a lot of money to buy this. If she were to take it, it would be like cutting off a piece of her own flesh. It's hard to make money, right?

When the Queen saw An Lingrong's relieved look, she thought to herself: She is indeed from a humble family. She really treats a bracelet of this quality as a treasure.

"The Queen asked me to come here not just to admire this bracelet, right?" An Lingrong looked at the Queen with a smile, and the Queen came back to her senses.

"A lot has happened in the palace these days. I was concerned about what happened to Concubine Rui that day, so I spoke harshly. It was wrong of me to take action that day. Don't take it to heart." The Queen patted An Lingrong's hand and said.

"I am so terrified. How could I not know your Majesty's good intentions? I don't take that matter to heart, and I hope your Majesty won't take it to heart either." An Lingrong smiled humbly and lowered her head.

"The Emperor always said that you were the most sensible person in the palace. You are indeed a person who makes people feel sorry for you." The Queen forced a smile and looked at An Lingrong.

"Your Majesty, please don't praise me anymore. I will blush if you do." An Lingrong spoke with a shy tone.

"Okay, now that everything has been said, you shouldn't have any grudges in your heart. Just serve the emperor well in the future and try to conceive a son as soon as possible. The emperor will definitely be happy." The queen said with a smile, and An Lingrong became shy again.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for your good wishes." An Lingrong stood up and bowed to the Queen.

"Okay, it's so late and I'm asking you to come again. Go back and have some rest." The Queen smiled gently. An Lingrong nodded, bowed, and left.

When Juqing saw An Lingrong coming out, she hurriedly went to greet her, took the jewelry box from An Lingrong's hand, and helped An Lingrong out of Jingren Palace.

After An Lingrong left, the Queen summoned Doctor Zhang in again.

"Good health, Your Majesty." Doctor Zhang bowed, and the Queen raised her hand to waive the bow.

"I just thought about it and I think what you said makes sense. I will find out the 'poison' you mentioned as soon as possible, but your prescription is indispensable!" The Queen spoke, her tone much better.

Doctor Zhang agreed and left.

After Doctor Zhang left, the Queen did not rest. Instead, she asked Huichun to extinguish the candles in the inner hall. With the help of the moonlight, she sat in front of the dressing table and took off her hairpins and rings.

After the queen put down the last golden hairpin in her hand, she began to remove the hair pieces on her head one by one. Now, her hair was so sparse that she didn't even dare to look in the mirror when removing her makeup...

The queen sat there quietly, but her mind was in a mess...

If you could see her expression at this moment, you would know how terrifying her calmness was. She was like a statue, not to mention moving, even her eyes did not move...

What went wrong? The queen had only one question in her mind at this moment...

Just as Doctor Zhang said, if she really just had hair loss, then why did she and Jianqiu get sick at the same time?

There must be something interesting going on here!

There was no other way, the Queen could only sort out the time when her hair loss first started. During that period, the only things that could change her were the double-sided embroidery table and the poison bracelet that An Lingrong had sent her...

But there is nothing wrong with double-sided embroidery... The bracelet is also with An Lingrong...

No! What if, what if the bracelet was swapped?

It is possible, right? Who is it? Is it Concubine Qi or Huanbi?

Now that I think about it carefully, those two people probably have reasons to hate me...

It wasn't until the next morning that word came that the queen had lost a jade hairpin that was given to her by the queen mother. So the entire Jingren Palace began to take inventory, even the storeroom...

After An Lingrong got the news, she exchanged glances with Ju Qing. It seemed that she still suspected the bracelet...
