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

"There are frequent disturbances in the harem, and it is difficult for you, the Emperor, to rest assured about the affairs of the court. This time, someone in the harem even used the story of ghosts and gods to try to cause trouble. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager quelled the rumors. In my opinion, let her be in charge of the harem." The Empress Dowager spoke carefully to the Emperor who came to pay his respects.

The Emperor still favored Concubine Hua. He thought of a legitimate reason to refute the Queen Mother: "The Queen has headaches from time to time. Concubine Hua is resolute and resolute in her actions, and she has done nothing wrong. She is deprived of her palace power for no reason, and I am afraid she will be dissatisfied."

Normally, the Queen Mother would have compromised long ago, but this time, as it involved human lives, the Queen Mother was particularly insistent: "The swift and decisive approach can indeed shock people, but it also lacks leniency. The palace maids have died one after another, and it is inevitable that the harmony of the world has been lost. Besides, the Nian family was born as bondservants, and all their income depends on the emperor's grace. How dare they be dissatisfied?"

The emperor thought for a while and finally gave in: "In that case, I will do as your Madam says. Your son will ask Concubine Hua to make the handover, but the Queen will no longer have a leisurely time in the future."

The Queen Mother reached across the small tea table and gently patted the Emperor's hand, which was resting on the tea table. She put on a kind smile and said, "I know you are worried about the Queen's headache. I think Concubine Shen is very stable. Some things can be handed over to her."

The emperor took the empress dowager's hand and said with a smile, "It's all up to you, Empress Dowager. Zhen, who serves me, is very smart. I want to bring her to pay my respects to you, Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother wanted to refuse. She disliked Zhen Huan very much and thought that all the troubles in the harem were caused by her. However, she couldn't let the Emperor down with their loving mother and filial son. She had no choice but to say, "Then meet them all. I can also give them some advice so that they can serve the Emperor more attentively."

When the emperor saw that the empress dowager agreed, he felt relieved. He was busy with the affairs of the front court and inevitably could not take care of the harem. It would be good if Zhen Huan could get some protection from the empress dowager.

In the afternoon, an imperial decree came from the palace, depriving Concubine Hua of the right to assist in managing the six palaces. From now on, the Empress would be in charge of the palace power, and Shen Meizhuang would be in charge of some palace affairs.

In Ledao Hall, An Lingrong heard the news and smiled bitterly. The Queen is always good at picking peaches. She has worked so hard for so long, but in the end the biggest winner is still the Queen. There is nothing she can do about it. The situation is stronger than she is. No matter whether the Queen is in power or Concubine Hua is in power, she still has to learn to hide and accumulate strength silently.

In the Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was furious and called Concubine Li and Concubine Cao to scold them severely:

"You and Lipin came up with a bad idea, which caused me to lose my power as a palace maid."

Lipin said without thinking: "The emperor didn't find out!"

Hua Fei was even more furious when she heard this. She glared at Li Fei and yelled, "You idiot, what should you say and what shouldn't you say? Watch your mouth, or I will be the first to throw you out."

Concubine Cao was secretly annoyed that Concubine Li was talking nonsense and had angered Concubine Hua, so she had no choice but to say, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hua was so angry that she choked up: "Where does happiness come from?"

Concubine Cao said calmly, "The Emperor never suspected the Empress about the matter of Sui Yuxuan. This is a happy thing. The decree to let the Empress take charge of the six palaces was issued by the Empress Dowager. It was only to silence Youyou and give Zhen Huan an explanation. I believe the Emperor will not investigate further."

Hua Fei smiled immediately after she said that: "That's right. If it is really found out that it is related to me, you two will not be unscathed. Even if you die, there will be no evidence. The Queen Mother used the Queen's merit in suppressing the rumors to seize my power. I will settle this account with the Queen."

"But have you cleaned up the mess?"

Lipin spoke first: "Kang Luhai was eager to gain merit in my palace. He was the one who strangled Hua Sui to death. I don't think he dared to say anything."

Concubine Cao remained calm and said, "Hua Sui's family took the money and moved out of the capital a month ago, and Su Peisheng couldn't find them."

The smile on Hua Fei's face deepened. She turned to Li Fei and said, "Kang Luhai has changed masters several times. It is reassuring to see him dead. After the storm is over, find a way to make him die suddenly."

Lipin nodded and took note of the words.

In the Sui Yu Xuan, Zhen Huan, who was in her nightgown, saw the emperor coming in. She was overjoyed and called out softly, "Silang, you are finally back."

The emperor felt guilty. All the clues about her poisoning were gone, and he had no way to find the real culprit. However, he could not tell her the truth, lest she be afraid all day long. So he took her hand without showing any intimacy, sat down with her, and asked with a smile:

"Miss me?"

Zhen Huan nodded shyly and said softly, "Huan Huan misses the emperor. It must be very hard for him to be out on patrol."

The emperor held Zhen Huan's hand and never let go. He said in a low voice, "I miss you very much when I am away. I often wonder if you sleep well and eat well. I even wrote a letter to urge Su Peisheng to find the poisoner as soon as possible so that you can rest assured."

Zhen Huan heard this and asked with hope, "Did Si Lang find the real murderer?"

The emperor's eyes looked a little unnatural, but he still said calmly: "Do you remember Yu?"

Zhen Huan never thought that this had anything to do with Yu, and asked in confusion: "Wasn't Yu sentenced to death for disobeying the emperor's order?"

The emperor remained calm and continued in a low voice, "This woman is vicious. After I demoted her to a court lady for the Imperial Garden incident, she hated you. She gave the gold and silver I rewarded her to Hua Sui, the maid who used to serve her, so that she would take the opportunity to harm you. The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not investigate and allowed Hua Sui to enter your palace to serve you. Concubine Hua made such a mistake while assisting in managing the six palaces, so the Queen Mother took back her power in the palace."

Zhen Huan couldn't imagine this to be the reason, but she still had some doubts: "Was Hua Sui silenced?"

The emperor thought of how Su Peisheng had dealt with a dirty eunuch this afternoon, so he continued, "When you were first poisoned, there was a panic in Suiyuxuan, and Hua Sui took the opportunity to run away. She lost money in the imperial garden, and was followed by the eunuch who was tending to the flowers and plants to rob her. During the dispute between the two, Hua Sui was accidentally strangled to death, and the eunuch has been dealt with."

Zhen Huan thought of countless reasons, but she didn't expect that the root of the problem was Yu Ying'er. She felt extremely uncomfortable. Yu Ying'er had slandered the emperor about the matter of the Imperial Garden and should have been sentenced to death on the spot. If the emperor had not been sentimental, he would have only demoted Yu Ying'er and would not have implicated herself in these punishments later.

But this old love was originally stolen by Yu Ying'er, and now it should be returned to its original owner, so that the emperor will be more compassionate to her from now on. Zhen Huan immediately stood up from the bed, slowly squatted in front of the emperor, put her head on his knees, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me track down the real culprit. Huan Huan went to the Yimei Garden to make a wish on New Year's Eve."

The emperor wondered if she had had such an experience before. He thought about the whole thing and asked anxiously:

"What wish did you make?"
