The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

As soon as Zhen Huan came out, the emperor's eyes stayed on her.

In the emperor's memory, Zhen Huan was calm and bright, with an open mind that was neither happy nor afraid of the world.

But now Zhen Huan is thinner than a yellow flower, with fear and sadness between her brows, and she actually shrinks in fear when she looks at people.

The emperor was filled with fear. Today was a coincidence, but what if... When he thought of this possibility, he became even more furious.

He hurriedly took a few steps and stretched out his hand towards Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan looked at him timidly before hesitantly extending her hand. The emperor held her hand tightly and personally led her to a chair in the shade to sit down.

This scene hurt Concubine Nian's heart. The emperor's gentleness and care used to belong to her alone, but now the emperor was drifting further and further away from her. She felt both pain and anxiety in her heart, like a wildfire burning. She had to find a way to make the emperor come back.

Concubine Nian glanced at Li Changzai anxiously. Li Changzai, who usually never dared to look her in the face, actually gave her a provocative look, then covered her mouth and chuckled silently. Concubine Nian's mind suddenly became hot:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. I suspect that what happened today was deliberately done by Li Changzai."

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and there were exclamations and gasps all around.

The emperor turned around and looked at Concubine Nian with a puzzled look. This was a tactic of sacrificing pawns to save the chariot. She must not make mistakes again and embarrass him at this critical moment:

"Nian Fei, do you have any evidence?"

Nian Shilan was about to tell Li Changzai about her abnormal words not long ago, but a crazy laugh suddenly sounded:

"Your Majesty, why don't you just ask me what Concubine Nian said? If you ask, I will tell you."

Li Changzai stood up from her seat calmly, with the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing an arrogant smile. She looked directly at the emperor boldly, with even mockery in her eyes.

Before the emperor could get angry, the queen scolded him, "How dare you, Concubine Li, do you still have the slightest respect for a concubine?"

"Oh, you did what happened today?" The emperor gave the queen a look that asked her to be quiet, and began to question Li Changzai calmly.

Li Changzai answered the question irrelevantly: "Your Majesty, do you remember how long it has been since you last summoned me?"

"Is this why you kill people?"

Li Chang's eyes flashed with a crazy and sick light. She smiled and whispered to her lover, "Two years, two months and three days, I have been looking forward to the sound of the Phoenix Spring Grace Carriage in front of my palace, but it was all in vain. They have bewitched the emperor's heart. Naturally, I want them to die."

It was chilling to hear her whisper such a crazy and vicious act.

Even the emperor paused for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that a woman's jealousy could kill someone: "How was the poison administered? Who are the accomplices?"

Li Changzai was still smiling, as charmingly as when she first received the emperor's favor. "It's just such a pity that Zhen Huan used Concubine Chun as a scapegoat, and An was too cautious. I couldn't find an opportunity. Concubine Cao was disrespectful to me, and I couldn't let her lose her beloved daughter. These are all regrets. Otherwise, it would be fun for me to have so many people accompany me in my underworld."

As she said these words, she looked at everyone one by one, and her crazy state made people break out in cold sweats.

An Lingrong looked at the crazy Li Changzai, trying hard to find something abnormal in her eyes, but found nothing.

"Let me ask you again, who gave you the acacia seed?"

Li Changzai still did not look directly at the emperor's question, but just fixed her eyes on Zhen Huan's face and spoke very gently: "I hate Concubine Cao for looking down on me, and I resent An Shi for coaxing me into favor, but I hate you the most. All the injustices are caused by you. I'm waiting for you downstairs."

As he spoke, blood began to flow from the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly shouted, "Imperial Physician."

Then the blood flowed very quickly, and in a flash, blood came out of all seven orifices. The pain in her abdomen was unbearable. She curled up on the ground and rolled around with a hideous and distorted expression. Despite this, her gloomy eyes kept staring at Zhen Huan.

"Your Majesty, Miss Li has taken poison." The imperial physician found a piece of acacia bean in Li Changzai's hand that had not been swallowed.

Suicide by a concubine was a crime of disrespect to the royal family and could bring disaster to the entire family. Li Changzai was once a military general in her family and she was the only daughter of one of them. A few years ago, her father was killed by bandits while patrolling the border. Her mother was too heartbroken and passed away within two years. She had no choice but to completely rely on Concubine Nian. She committed suicide out of fear of crime, and when the emperor wanted to hold her family accountable, there was no one left to be found.

Today's incident killed two people, which shows that the harem is full of hidden dangers. The emperor was furious:

"Su Peisheng, severely interrogate the palace maids who served Li Changzai, and examine the people in the imperial kitchen one by one. The purchasing department and the Imperial Hospital, all the rooms in the palace that can be accessed outside, must be checked for me until today's incident is thoroughly investigated."

"Noble Lady Chun was buried with the ceremony worthy of a concubine, while Concubine Li was stripped of her title, demoted to a commoner, and buried in a mass grave outside the city."

"There have been a series of murders at Suiyuxuan, which is indeed an ominous place. I order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report the unused palace to me so that I can choose a new palace for Wanpin to live in."

"Empress, as the head of a palace, you have repeatedly failed to supervise. You will be fined one year's salary as a small punishment and a big warning."

"Concubine Nian, you are not good at judging people. You will be fined for half a year as a warning to others."

The imperial edicts made everyone tremble with fear. The tragedy of Yuxuan being shattered today was something they had never seen before, and the emperor's wrath was also rare. Everyone lowered their heads and listened to the orders, fearing that if they were not careful, the emperor's wrath would burn on themselves.

When the queen heard the imperial edict, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor finally took the queen's dignity into consideration and did not deprive her of the right to manage the harem. She just had to be extra careful this year and must not make any more mistakes.

Nian Shilan was also secretly happy in her heart. The emperor did not blame her for not reporting the matter, which showed that the emperor still cared about their old friendship.

An Lingrong sighed in her heart. On the chessboard of fate, anyone can be a chess piece. With so many unexpected events happening today, who knows what changes will happen to the trajectory of the previous life next. The harem has become more and more treacherous, and many things cannot be avoided by being careful.

"Today's harem disaster is all because of the resentment of the common people, and the destruction of the virtuous. As imperial concubines, you should cultivate your own virtues and never imitate the words and deeds of the common people again, otherwise I will not forgive you easily."

The final knock made everyone bend even lower and nod in unison.

The emperor then asked his men to leave.

After everyone had left, the emperor embraced the frightened and heartbroken Zhen Huan and said, "Huan Huan, I'm late."

Zhen Huan felt like something was blocking her throat, making her feel stinging and uncomfortable. She buried her head in the emperor's chest and after a long pause, she trembled and squeezed out a sound:

"Silang, Huanhuan is scared."

Shen Meizhuang, who was standing at the door of Sui Yuxuan, turned around and left only after seeing the two finally hug each other.

The incident of Li Changzai's poisoning had serious consequences for the harem. Countless palace maids and eunuchs were taken to the Ministry of Punishment. For a while, there were fewer palace people walking on the streets.

After one night, the Ministry of Punishment had preliminary interrogation results.
