I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 359 An Lingrong 15

After paying their respects, the concubines left Jingren Palace in twos and threes.

Compared to other people who were walking out with their friends, only An Lingrong was alone, she had no good concubines.

An Lingrong did not feel any hard feelings about this situation.

The truth is that there are really not many concubines in this palace that I can be friends with.

The Queen is a person who cannot be approached. She can favor those who follow her, but it is impossible to get pregnant. In the original plot, the original owner followed the Queen, and after each bedtime, she had to take the contraceptive pill with every meal.

As for Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, due to their upbringing, they were the ones who interacted with her calmly and cordially, but deep down they looked down on her, so she would not seek trouble.

It is also impossible for Noble Lady Fucha, because she, like Zhen Huan and the others, looks down on people of low birth.

In the original plot, Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan were the ones who took advantage of the original owner's misfortune when she was down and out, and she didn't want to have any contact with them.

So after looking around, there really is no one I can date.

But it doesn't matter, it's fine for her to be alone, she can have fun for herself, and she enjoys this situation.

Now all the concubines' attention is on Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua, and your queen. She is much quieter here. No one disturbs her, and she feels more at ease.

But such a comfortable life also has some small troubles.

She was pregnant now, and the queen often put something in her food and put some smooth stones that could easily cause people to fall on the road she passed.

Although she could see through them and would not be harmed by them, she was getting annoyed after seeing them happen so many times.

The queen is still useful now, and nothing can happen to her.

So she could only seek revenge on the Queen Mother. The reason why the Queen was so ruthless and had no hesitation in harming the child now had a lot to do with the Queen Mother's indulgence and cleaning up over the years.

If she could stop her, or even punish her, so many children would not have died at the hands of the Queen.

The Queen Mother must take responsibility for this mistake.

Originally, the Queen Mother still had a few more years to live, but when the Queen kept picking on her and trying to harm her children, she took action against the Queen Mother.

If we calculate, the Queen Mother probably has more than a year left.

The reason for this time was because she didn't want her child to bear the crime of killing the Queen Mother. Her child was destined to have a smooth, happy and bright life.

An Lingrong held Baojuan's hand and walked slowly on the palace road, thinking about what to eat for lunch and what to do in the afternoon.

This is her biggest concern now.

In contrast, the Queen is now anxiously giving everyone a satisfactory "truth", and this "truth" must show that she is not wrong.

She didn't want the virtuous image she had worked so hard to build up over the years to be ruined.

If she was really ruined, then if anything happened to a pregnant concubine in the harem in the future, wouldn't she be suspected?

And the emperor also knows about this matter, so we must treat it more carefully.

Afterwards, the Queen investigated the people who made the longevity quilt. She originally thought that she would not be able to find out anything, but as it happened, she was able to pin the blame on someone else.

Among the people who made the Fu Shou quilt, there was an embroiderer named Xiuyun. Xiuyun had a sister, Xiuqiao. What a coincidence, Xiuqiao worked for Concubine Li.

Moreover, the two sisters Xiuyun and Xiuqiao had interacted with each other many times. The Queen was of course aware that there was nothing suspicious about the interaction between them as sisters. But if nothing had happened before, it would be fine. But now that Fushou had been in trouble, their interaction became suspicious.

Moreover, Lipin had always been following behind Huafei, so this matter could be pinned on Huafei.

The Queen announced the results of the investigation to the Emperor, and it was Concubine Hua who was behind the scenes and wanted to harm Zhen Huan.

Of course Concubine Hua was dissatisfied. How could she not know whether she had done it or not?

It is also possible that the Queen had already investigated the people before asking them to make the Fu Shou Quilt, and deliberately let Xiuyun do it together. As for the reason, it may be that the Queen was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she found a scapegoat and then put the blame on herself.

In order to prove her innocence, Concubine Hua did not mind asking the emperor to investigate. She had never touched musk and had never instructed Concubine Li to do such a thing.

When talking about musk, the emperor's expression looked a little unnatural.

He suddenly thought of the child of Concubine Hua who was killed by his own hands, and the Huan Yi Xiang that he had someone prepare.

The Emperor felt guilty towards Concubine Hua, and the Queen had no clear evidence to prove that Concubine Hua was the one who did it.

So it was natural for him to favor Concubine Hua.

Looking at Hua Fei's smug expression and the obvious partiality in the emperor's words, she could only say, "Yes, Your Majesty, I think Hua Fei is not wrong. I will investigate again when I return."

The queen's plan failed, so she could only frame someone else.

A few days later, the Queen gave Zhen Huan the "truth" that she had painstakingly investigated.

It turned out that when they were searching the sleeping places of the people who made the longevity quilt, they found a large sum of silver hidden in the sleeping place of one of them.

This makes people suspicious. This person is just an ordinary palace maid and it is impossible for her to save so much silver.

The investigation continued from the aspect of silver, and then they found out that it was Xia Changzai's personal maid.

It was Concubine Xia's personal maid who gave this person the money to harm Zhen Huan.

The reason was naturally that Zhen Huan caused her mistress to be punished by Concubine Hua with a beating of 10 lashes and moved to the cold palace. Concubine Xia had both her legs crippled because of the beating and her health was not good either. It was painful for her to see her mistress living such a hard and painful life every day.

The loyal servant of his master naturally wanted to avenge his master, so he gave all his savings to the man who made the longevity quilt.

But it's too late to find out now. A few days ago, Concubine Xia died because she could not bear the physical pain, and her personal maid followed her.

So if Zhen Huan was unwilling, she would have no chance of revenge.

In addition to giving the results of the investigation, the Queen also secretly told Zhen Huan that Xiuyun, the embroiderer, and Xiuqiao, who was beside Concubine Li, were sisters.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to make Zhen Huan believe that the musk in her quilt was made by Concubine Hua and has nothing to do with her.

When Zhen Huan heard the results of the investigation, she certainly didn't believe it. Didn't she know who the person who harmed her was?

Even though the Queen clearly framed her, Zhen Huan did not fall for it.

She has already determined that the queen is the one who harmed her.

In the future, when there is an opportunity, I will naturally seek revenge on the Queen.

The emperor also knew the results of the investigation. After a long time, he chose to acquiesce, even though he knew that it was not done by Concubine Xia's personal maid.

He knew Hua Fei's personality, and it was unlikely that she had done this because Hua Fei was a straightforward person. If she encountered something unpleasant, she would deal with it directly and would not beat around the bush.
