An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

Zhen Huan was exhausted from vomiting and still frightened, so she took Liu Zhu and Huan Bi back to Broken Yuxuan.

Shen Meizhuang covered his chest and said with lingering fear: "There is a dead person in the well."

The noble Fucha asked in surprise: "Who...who is dead!"

This was the first time that the noble Fucha heard of a death in the palace since he entered the palace.

Zhen Huan looked serious: "It's Fuzi."

Shen Meizhuang nodded solemnly.

The noble Fu Cha said: "Fu Zi, that was given to Concubine Hua by the Queen a few days ago. Why did Hao Duan Duan commit suicide by throwing herself into a well?"

According to Shen Meizhuang, Fuzi's pale face was facing upward, looking down from the mouth of the well, and there was bright moonlight at a glance.

It’s really horrifying!

Shen Meizhuang said that he only felt a bang in his head and was so frightened that he fell unconscious.

Fuzi's body was already swollen, which showed that the day of the incident was not the day of her death.

That well is the source, but the water stopped only tonight.

In other words, Fuzi died for a while and then was thrown into the well.

Shen Meizhuang analyzed each case one by one and overturned the rich and noble man's ideas.

Fuzi didn't commit suicide.

The Fuzi was given to Concubine Hua by the Queen, and during the day the Emperor and Concubine Hua had a confrontation over Xia Ruchun.

It is inevitable not to make people suspicious.

No matter what, the noble Fucha refused to return to Yanxi Palace in the middle of the night.

An Lingrong spent the night in the Xianfu Palace in Shenmeizhuang with the noble Fucha.

The next day, the rising sun was shining brightly and the sky was filled with morning glow.

The queen summoned the concubines in the harem for a morning meeting. At the morning meeting, she burst into tears: "Fuzi has served me for many years. The water in the palace was cut off last night. I really did not expect that Fuzi died at the mouth of the source well."

The queen was in grief, all the concubines were sighing, and Concubine Hua had a look of indifference on her face.

The queen was silent for a moment and then asked Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua, I gave you a lucky child. If something happens to the lucky child, how should you explain it?"

Concubine Hua said: "Fuzi didn't return home all night last night. I asked my servants to look for her but to no avail. Later I heard that Xiao Zhenzi, the eunuch of the renovation department, came to report that Fuzi committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. It is said that Fuzi's clothes, shoes and socks were all gone at that time." At the well, the concubine didn't know why she threw herself into the well. I treat her the same as the other maids in the palace. The Queen will just wait and see what the autopsy says. The concubine did not kill the person."

The autopsy came out quickly. As Concubine Hua said, Fuzi committed suicide. He was naked and had nothing on him, and there were no symptoms of rape.

The queen was so angry that she threw the autopsy report on the floor in front of all the concubines. Huichun knelt down and picked it up quickly. Jianqiu was in agony.

Concubine Hua's eyes were lowered, and her whole body was filled with anger.

The queen said angrily: "It's extremely ridiculous. This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen since I entered the palace. How could Fuzi commit suicide?"

Cao Guiren said: "Everyone has times when they can't figure it out. Maybe Fuzi doesn't want to serve Concubine Hua, maybe something bad happened in her family, maybe she had an affair with a man in the palace and was ignored and abandoned. Driving into a dead end, Fuzi has been taciturn since he entered the palace of Concubine Hua, and he is also very stingy when getting along with us. He usually only speaks a few words and is unwilling to say more than two words. Besides, Fuzi is the most familiar with Fuzi in this palace. There is no one better than the Queen, I wonder if the Queen knows why she can’t think about things.”

What a sinister Cao Guiren, An Lingrong thought to herself. She had always heard Aunt Fangruo say, never underestimate Cao Guiren. Compared with Concubine Hua, she was even worse than Concubine Hua. When she saw her today, her reputation was indeed well-deserved.

A trace of pride appeared on Concubine Hua's face, and she took over Cao Guiren's words and said: "I really don't know why she wants to die. This person cannot be resurrected. The Queen expresses her condolences and obeys her. Songzhi, I am tired. I won’t chat with the Queen anymore. The Queen is in a bad mood today, so I’d better go back to the palace first!” (Note: In the palace, each concubine calls herself concubine to her superiors, and she calls herself this palace to her subordinates.)

After saying that, Concubine Hua stood up and walked away with Songzhi, Cao Guiren, and Concubine Li in a swaggering manner.

The queen was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

An Lingrong was stunned, and an unbearable scene from his previous life printed in his mind: the docile Fuzi slowly walked along with Concubine Hua's sedan chair. Under Concubine Hua's eyes, Songzhi pushed Fuzi aside and cursed angrily. She blocked the empress's way; back in Yikun Palace, Fuzi combed Concubine Hua's hair. Concubine Hua was busy talking to Zhou Ninghai and loudly blamed Fuzi for hurting her hair, and Fuzi swallowed her anger.

Concubine Hua asked Zhou Ninghai to deal with Fuzi. Zhou Ninghai knocked Fuzi unconscious with one palm and threw her into a dry well not far away.

At this time, Fuzi changed from a dry well to a source of water for no reason, causing most of the concubines in the palace to cut off water, which attracted widespread attention. What is even more bizarre is that Fuzi's clothes were stripped off and then soaked in the well. inside.

An Lingrong felt very puzzled. The blessed son in this life was Yuanshuijing?

It was impossible for her to choose Yuanshuijing on her own, it must have been artificial. Perhaps Zhou Ninghai's evil deeds were discovered, and someone took advantage of this to amplify the bad behavior and transferred Fuzi to Yuanshuijing to attract the attention of all the concubines in the harem.

The queen was deeply disgusted. What she felt pained was the death of Fuzi. Fuzi was sent to Yikun Palace to help her intercept information.

What she hates is Concubine Hua's ruthlessness, killing people without blinking an eye, and doing whatever she wants regardless of the consequences.

But at this point, the queen felt helpless.

The queen showed a tired look on her face: "Okay, let's end today's morning meeting here. I am also tired. Before leaving the meeting, I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to safety in the palace. Don't go out at night unless you have nothing to do. When escaping, try to go together as much as possible. If you find anything unusual, report it to me in time."

The queen did not pursue any further blame, and did not even mention Fuzi's unjust death.

Also, Fuzi was originally just a chess piece used by the queen. Now that they are all dead, their value no longer exists, and there is no need to check the cause of death.

What she regretted was just the loss of one of her abandoned trees.

An Lingrong walked slowly and returned to Yanxi Palace. He remembered that Concubine Duan had not attended the morning meeting in the palace for a long time. She was like an isolated existence in the palace, staying away from the hustle and bustle and keeping to herself.

The moon is particularly round tonight! But Fuzi died the day before the full moon night.

An Lingrong went to Xianfu Palace to visit Shenmeizhuang. The door of Shenmeizhuang was closed. After knocking several times, Cai Xing came out and said, "An promised, my little master is unwell. Please promise to come back another day."

Yes, An Lingrong pouted and went to find Zhen Huan in Broken Yuxuan. The door of Broken Yuxuan was also closed, but this one was even more amazing.

On the wall of the palace gate, there are red paper couplets symmetrically pasted on the left and right: The young master is sick and refuses to visit.

An Lingrong thought, apart from Shenmeizhuang, he often came to visit Suiyuxuan in such a remote place.

Shen Meizhuang was frightened. Wasn't this note meant for him?

It was such a coincidence that both Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were frightened and sick, which undoubtedly created an opportunity for An Lingrong.

An Lingrong never expected that she would become a noble in the palace, second only to Fucha, and the second newcomer to serve the emperor.
