An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

Cui Jinxi was sent to the Criminal Punishment Department, and Wan Bin was held accountable. However, Wan Bin had no knowledge of the matter. She was depressed and was fined three months' worth of silver by the emperor for her incompetence in managing her servants.

The news that Cui Jinxi was punished to the Ministry of Punishment reached the Queen's Jingren Palace. Jianqiu clenched her fists, and the anger in her eyes turned into a raging fire.

"Who sold Cui Jinxi to the emperor? I will not let her off easily." The queen said gritting her teeth.

Jianqiu said with tears in her eyes: "The queen, it was Li's concubine who reported the pregnancy. She was the only one in the palace who was pregnant. She became very nervous when she saw Musk Li's concubine. Regardless of right or wrong, we haven't attacked anyone yet. What? Concubine Li started to panic and reported the matter to the emperor. "

"Jianqiu, make some arrangements. I am going to entertain all the concubines in the harem. Since they are on every possible precaution, I want to see how they can take precautions." The Queen smiled coldly.

The banquet was held beside the lotus pond, with buffets set up on both sides. The queen said she didn't want to dirty the Jingren Palace.

The queen held Jian Qiu's hands and said: "Jian Qiu, I know that Cui Jinxi is your half-sister. Since you intend to take revenge, then target Concubine Li and Li Ronghua, and don't bring harm to them. Innocent, you must be careful when doing things, remember?”

Jianqiu nodded solemnly and said, "Since I have decided to avenge my sister, I will make those who have hurt her pay the price." Jianqiu took out a paper bag from her arms and untied the thread, revealing a packet of poison powder inside. She carefully mixed the poison into the wine, and the poison dissolved in water, becoming colorless and odorless.

Jianqiu was holding a plate with a wine jug in it, moving back and forth between the palace banquets calmly and calmly. Her drooping eyebrows revealed a kind of determination and ruthlessness. She knew very well that this was an extremely risky action, but in order to avenge Cui Jinxi, she was willing to take the risk with her own life. She carefully observed the every move of Lipin and An Lingrong, waiting for the right opportunity.

When Lipin and An Lingrong were drinking, Jianqiu took decisive action. She handed the wine pot mixed with poison to Lipin's cup, but she didn't know that Lipin was pregnant. She was drinking boiled water, how could she drink alcohol when she was pregnant? Lipin smelled the wine poured by Jianqiu, the strong smell of alcohol, Lipin couldn't help coughing twice, the urge of nausea made her frown, and Jianqiu's hand trembled, which made Lipin even more suspicious.

Concubine Li said with cold eyes: "Jiangqiu, what's wrong? Don't you know I'm pregnant? You actually dare to hand me wine to drink. Could it be that you want to kill the emperor's heir?"

Jian Qiu said calmly: "I am here to toast to you all on behalf of the Empress. I know that Empress Li is pregnant, but since it is a toast, how can I miss out on Empress Li's share? I am here to toast on behalf of the Empress." Well, as for whether to drink it or not, that’s up to Concubine Li!” After saying that, Jianqiu drank the wine in his hand, then shook the bottom of the bowl towards Concubine Li and left with a smile.

However, no one expected that when Concubine Feng, who was sitting next to Lipin, saw Jianqiu drinking the wine from the same pot and nothing happened, she thought Jianqiu and Lipin were joking, so she raised her hand to grab the glass of wine in front of Lipin, drank it all and said, "How can the wine given by the Queen be poisonous? Lipin, you dare not drink it. You think it is poisonous, I will drink it for you to see..."

Before Feng Shufei finished speaking, she had already fallen to the ground crookedly, her face was twisted, and the banquet was in chaos. The queen quickly ordered people to go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor. An Lingrong stood up and performed acupuncture on Feng Shufei. .

An Lingrong used a silver needle to test the poison in the glass of wine in front of Lipin. When she saw the silver needle turned black, Lipin was so frightened that she stood up and took several steps back, with cold sweat on her forehead. An Lingrong then tested the wine in front of her and found that it was also poisoned.

Jianqiu looked at the scene before her and realized that she had committed a terrible crime. Not only did she fail to avenge her sister, but she also implicated innocent people. She was afraid that her crime would be exposed, and she was even more afraid that it would implicate the queen.

The queen was also in a panic at the scene, and she was extremely panicked. The rules in the palace are strict, and this incident happened under everyone's noses, causing an uproar. Her eyes scanned the whole room. Yes, she had to find a scapegoat. Her eyes were fixed on Qi Guiren. Such an idiot would have more of her in the palace and less of her.

The queen ordered Jianqiu to call Mr. Qi to come forward. Mr. Qi was still smiling, thinking that something good had happened. Unexpectedly, the queen slapped Mr. Qi directly in the face, and her angry voice was heard by everyone in the lotus pond: "Mr. Qi, tell me, why did you poison Concubine Feng Shu's wine?"

Qi Guiren was beaten for a moment and said blankly: "Queen, what are you talking about? What kind of poison? I don't have any concubines!"

The Queen slapped Concubine Qi to the ground again, with blood on the corner of her mouth: "I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to quibble, Jiang Fuhai, take Concubine Qi to the emperor and see how the emperor will deal with you!"

Qi Guiren woke up from a dream and shouted loudly: "Queen, my concubines are wronged! There are no concubines!"

After Mr. Qi was taken away, the queen sneered in a low voice: "Go to the underworld and cry for your injustice!" After saying that, she gave Jianqiu a fierce look and continued to greet everyone to eat.

Qi Guiren was dragged to the Yangxin Hall, and before she had time to defend herself to the emperor, the emperor put her in the cold palace and would never leave the palace.

The emperor has always been critical of Mr. Qi. Although he is a nobleman appointed by the emperor himself, Mr. Qi's behavior and speech often make the emperor unhappy. She believed in her aristocracy and was often arrogant and domineering in the palace. She also commanded other concubines without any concealment. The emperor had expressed his dissatisfaction with her in private many times. He had been unable to punish her before because she was a relative of an important minister in the court. But now that Qi Guiren's father E Min has fallen, Qi Guiren's status in the emperor's heart is even worse than before.

The other concubines in the harem were all surprised by the emperor's decision, but Jianqiu was glad that she had escaped a disaster.

An Lingrong saw all this in her eyes and remembered it in her heart. Her heart was like a mirror. This poison was obviously caused by Jian Qiu. The queen was cruel and ruthless. She took advantage of the emperor not being present to drag Qi Guiji out to take the blame. It was so absurd. Things happen every year, she sighed, Qi Guiren was a fool, and he finally died in the hands of the queen.

Jianqiu's secret plan was originally intended to target Concubine Li and herself. Through Xia Ruchun, An Lingrong finally learned about the unusual relationship between Jianqiu and Cui Jinxi. She never expected that they were half-sisters with the same mother and father and were related by blood.

While An Lingrong was shocked, Wan Bin in Tangli Palace was also shocked. Wu Yi's whereabouts for many years were exposed through Cui Jinxi.
