An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 346 Secret Investigation

Originally, An Lingrong had not thought of secretly investigating Zhen Huan.

However, Zhen Huan's previous abnormal behavior had already attracted An Lingrong's attention. After that, An Lingrong deliberately observed her and found that Zhen Huan was always distracted when chatting with her.

Taking in the indifference that Zhen Huan showed from time to time, An Lingrong could conclude that Zhen Huan must have encountered something that she didn't know about.

Therefore, when Zhen Huan sent Huanbi back to get something, An Lingrong also used the excuse of "changing clothes" to secretly let Liuyun accompany her, just to see if Huanbi would do anything abnormal.

Huanbi is Zhen Huan's personal maid. She must know what's going on with Zhen Huan.

Let someone keep an eye on Huanbi, maybe we can find out something!

However, An Lingrong also knew that if Zhen Huan found out about this, it might cause a rift in their relationship.

While sending Liuyun out, An Lingrong also warned him seriously to be careful.

Moreover, just in case, An Lingrong had already thought of a way to deal with it. Even if Liuyun was discovered by Huanbi halfway, she could just say that he was helping An Lingrong deliver something to Xin Changzai.

A few days ago, Xin Changzai came to visit An Lingrong and inadvertently discovered that An Lingrong was preparing small clothes for her and Shen Meizhuang's children.

At that time, Xin Chang praised An Lingrong's knitting skills and hoped that An Lingrong could give her two pieces so that she could learn from them and make some clothes for her little princess.

An Lingrong asked him to wait for two more days and she would have someone send the finished product over.

In this way, if discovered, this reason can become the most appropriate "excuse".

Facts have proved that An Lingrong’s preparations for a rainy day were not in vain!

Liuyun followed An Lingrong's instructions and followed Huanbi, carefully hiding his tracks along the way, and successfully deceived Huanbi.

At that time, Huanbi was very angry and was full of indignation towards An Lingrong and Zhen Huan. Otherwise, she would not have been unable to avoid A Jin in time when she was about to collide with him.

Because of this, Huanbi did not notice Liuyun who was some distance away from her.

Immediately afterwards, Liuyun witnessed the scene of Huanbi and Ajin colliding head-on.

After that, Liuyun did not come back directly, but continued to carry out An Lingrong's second-hand arrangement and went to deliver the embroidery sample to Xin Changzai.

It was not until nightfall that An Lingrong dismissed her attendants and summoned Liuyun alone, and only then did she learn about this matter.

"Although I was not standing close to him at the time, I can be sure that this man and Huanbi were not meeting for the first time. Instead, they seemed to be old acquaintances!"

Liuyun carefully recalled what he had witnessed, and then said, "Huanbi seemed to be worried about something, so she didn't come to her senses until the two of them bumped into each other. But then she ran away in a hurry without saying a word. It looked really abnormal!"

Because Zhen Huan and An Lingrong had a very good relationship, they often visited each other.

As they did so, the people below became even more familiar with them.

Just like Fangruo and Cui Jinxi often "communicate" with each other, Liuyun naturally knows Huanbi's character very well.

If this had happened under normal circumstances, if Huanbi was suddenly bumped into by someone, she would never give up so easily. Even if she didn't make a fuss, she would definitely ask the other party to apologize to her. How could she just leave without saying a word?

If something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. Liuyun firmly believed this, so he remembered this detail very clearly so that he could use it as a reference for his mistress when answering An Lingrong.

"The man...according to what you said, he is neither a eunuch nor a guard in the garden? But Huanbi seems to be familiar with him?"

An Lingrong slowly analyzed the situation based on Liuyun's narration, and then her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

First of all, regardless of the exact relationship between this man and Huanbi, his identity alone made An Lingrong confused.

The Old Summer Palace is a royal garden, and there are people specially assigned to maintain it on a daily basis.

Only when the emperor arrives will the eunuchs in the palace and the guards in the garden clean up everywhere together. After everything is cleaned up, the eunuchs will take over everywhere completely. With the arrival of the emperor, various imperial guards will also be on duty.

Therefore, the men who appear here are either guards responsible for security in the garden, or relatives of the royal family.

But Liuyun's statement meant that the other party looked like a servant.

Since he is not from the palace, the only possibility is that he entered the garden with a prince before, right?

"Yes." Liuyun nodded and looked at An Lingrong silently.

This was all the information she could give, and the rest would depend on An Lingrong's own analysis.

"Which princes are still staying in the Old Summer Palace?"

After some thought, An Lingrong felt that this person must be related to the royal family, so she asked about Liuyun.

It’s a pity that Liuyun cannot answer this question for An Lingrong.

Liuyun looked embarrassed and shook her head, "My lord, please forgive me, I don't know!"

She was only responsible for serving An Lingrong, and even though she would go out on weekdays, all she could know was some gossip circulating in the market.

If you want to know which princes are still in the garden, then asking Liuyun is the wrong person!

"Forget it...just leave."

Seeing the other person like this, An Lingrong sighed silently.

After all, Liuyun is not Baojuan. When Baojuan followed her in her previous life, she was well-informed about news from all over the place, apart from the things happening in the palace. So as long as An Lingrong asked Baojuan, she could often get a satisfactory answer.

But Liuyun is different. She is more honest. Being honest has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages.

An Lingrong did not make things difficult for Liuyun. She just asked her to go back and ask her to call Fangruo for her.

Since Liuyun has run out of ideas, An Lingrong can only place her hopes on Fangruo.

Originally, she was just curious about what happened to Zhen Huan.

But now it seems that there may be profound meaning in this unknown aspect.

"I wonder what you want me to do?"

Liuyun was very efficient. Not long after she left, Fangruo knocked on An Lingrong's door.

An Lingrong said, "Aunt, please sit down first. I don't have anything else to ask you, but I have a question to ask you."

At the moment, there was only herself and An Lingrong. Fang Ruo declined for a moment, but then she sat down aside as An Lingrong asked, and waited quietly for the other party to ask.

"I wonder if Auntie knows which princes are still staying in the garden?"

An Lingrong looked at Fang Ruo and slowly asked the question she wanted to ask.

"Your Majesty?"

Fang Ruo frowned, then thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "The princes who came earlier have all gone back. Now only Prince Dun should be left in the garden... Oh, right! There is indeed another one - the Seventeenth Prince, who just came back two days ago!"
