Chapter 30: The Queen is Really Kind

When Concubine Hua got angry, her aura was fully released, and she scared Shen Meizhuang so much that she knelt on the ground again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's Concubine Wan's fault."

When she heard about Zhen Huan's matter, Concubine Hua hurriedly asked, "What happened to Concubine Wan? Is she feeling unwell again?"

Earlier, Concubine Hua asked Doctor Wen to treat Concubine Duan, and Zhen Huan also knew about it. Wen Shichu also told Zhen Huan that Concubine Hua would keep her child. The cautious Zhen Huan continued to pretend to be sick.

Concubine Hua had no choice but to wait for the opportunity.

Obviously, it is not easy to gain Zhen Huan's trust, and Concubine Hua has to take it slow.

"To answer your Majesty, ever since Concubine Wan fell ill, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been withholding funds from Suiyuxuan. Not only do they not pay enough silver every month, but they haven't even provided the daily rice. Concubine Wan was already weak, and she doesn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. Her health is much worse than before." Shen Meizhuang became more and more excited as she spoke, and her eyes turned red.

Seeing how much she cared about Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua was really envious that Zhen Huan had such a good sister.

"Is this actually happening?"

"Everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, you can find out the truth."

Just when she was worrying about how to reestablish contact with Zhen Huan and increase her favorability, the opportunity came. Concubine Hua planned to help Zhen Huan.

After Zhen Huan took some medicine from Wen Shichu, her hair was disheveled, but she was generally fine. However, because she didn't eat well, she actually developed a fever on a hot day.

Liuzhu was so anxious that she ran to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for ice.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that it would be sent to Suiyuxuan soon, and Liuzhu just needed to wait there.

Liuzhu repeatedly warned, "Hurry up! My mistress is almost delirious! If you come too late and something happens to her, none of you will be able to escape the blame."

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs replied perfunctorily that they would do it as soon as possible.

Liuzhu returned to Suiyuxuan and reported to Jinxi.

Jinxi saw that Zhen Huan had a fever and started talking nonsense, so she paced around the bed anxiously.

"Wait a moment. If the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't bring us ice, we will go find the Queen."

Liuzhu nodded vigorously: "Yes, find the queen! The queen will always take care of this matter!"

In Jingren Palace, the queen was drinking herbal tea while Jianqiu was fanning her.

"My lady, I heard that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been cutting back on the expenses of Sui Yu Xuan recently."

The Queen's expression was delighted. "These servants are becoming more and more unruly. However, I can do nothing to help them. I have handed these matters over to Concubine Hua. Since Concubine Hua doesn't care, how can I interfere?"

Jianqiu sighed: "The Queen is so kind. She is still thinking about Concubine Wan even though she has a headache again."

The queen said helplessly: "I am the queen after all. I have to manage such a large harem. I have to worry about it."

Jianqiu brought some iced watermelon juice for the queen to drink.

Outside the palace, the eunuch Jiang Fuhai's voice came, "An promised auspiciousness. An promised you to wait for a moment, the queen is taking a nap at this time."

"Then please tell the eunuch. I will wait here for the Queen to wake up." An Lingrong nodded slightly towards Jiang Fuhai.

Jianqiu looked at the queen and said softly, "Since Concubine Wan fell ill, she has been disliked by the servants. An Lingrong was also implicated because she was close to her, and her life is even worse than Concubine Wan's. Those snobbish eunuchs and maids in the palace dare to bully her."

The Queen sighed, "How pitiful! Let her come in."

Jianqiu walked out and gave Jiang Fuhai a look. Jiang Fuhai understood and walked to the door to tell An Lingrong that she could go in.

It was the first time that An Lingrong took the initiative to meet the Queen, and she felt a little uneasy.

"See the Queen, may the Queen be blessed and safe."

"No gift."

The Queen pointed to a seat at the head and said to An Lingrong with a smile, "Please take a seat."

An Lingrong nodded timidly, looked at the chair next to her, and sat down carefully.

"It's hot, I'm sorry I promised you that I would remember to come and pay my respects to you."

An Lingrong raised her head, her expression looking a little unnatural due to excessive nervousness.

"It is my duty to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. I dare not forget it."

The Queen was very satisfied with An Lingrong's answer.

"It would be great if everyone in the harem was as obedient as you and listened to me."

An Lingrong stood up and knelt on the ground, "Please, Queen, please make the decision for me!"

Perhaps because she had suffered too much injustice during this period, An Lingrong's tears kept falling as she knelt.

The Queen looked at Jianqiu, and Jianqiu walked over and helped An Lingrong up.

An Lingrong couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.

"You are a concubine, a young lady, after all. Why are you crying like this for no reason? If you encounter any injustice, just tell me and I will definitely take care of it for you."

Hearing what the Queen said, An Lingrong cried again.

The queen also comforted her for a while.

After a long while, An Lingrong finally told the whole story of how she was bullied by the palace maids and eunuchs because of Zhen Huan.

The queen was very angry after hearing this.

"It's absurd that these slaves actually do things like this!"

"They saw that I was getting close to Wan Changzai, so they bullied me when Wan Changzai was being neglected. Woo woo."

The Queen became angrier and angrier as she listened, and she had no choice but to comfort An Lingrong a few more times.

"Please, Your Majesty, please help me!" An Lingrong said crying.

The Queen looked surprised. "Did An promise Hua Fei not take care of it?"

An Lingrong said in bewilderment, "Hua Fei? Hua Fei never showed up from beginning to end."

The Queen showed a look of disappointment, "Don't you know? The Emperor has long given the power to assist in the management of the six palaces to Concubine Hua. Otherwise, I would be sick every few days, and the harem would be in chaos."

An Lingrong finally understood what the Queen was talking about. These things should have been handled by Concubine Hua, but Concubine Hua didn't care. Concubine Hua watched An Lingrong being bullied by those servants.

"My lady, if Concubine Hua was in charge, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

The Queen also sighed, "You are also a pitiful person. You said that you entered the palace with Wan Changzai and Shen Guiren, and they were all favored, but you were not. When they were glorious, you never got the slightest benefit, but when they fell into trouble, you were implicated."

The Queen's words touched An Lingrong's heart.

Whether it was Shen Meizhuang or Zhen Huan, when they were favored, they didn't help her. Why did Zhen Huan get left out, and she, An Lingrong, had to suffer this bad luck! ?

And Concubine Hua was also deliberately targeting her. She didn't believe that Concubine Hua, who had many eyes and ears, didn't know that she was being bullied like this.

The more An Lingrong thought about it, the more she hated Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Hua!
