"The emperor's first couplet is, against the wind is like understanding."

However, in order to find the palace maid in Yime Garden mentioned by Yinzhen, Su Peisheng went to Yime Garden and set up a trap, saying that the emperor had given the first couplet, and whoever could answer it would be rewarded handsomely.

Yu Ying'er saw clearly the interaction between Zhen Huan and Yin Zhen yesterday, so she naturally guessed Su Peisheng's intention.

So he answered in a crisp voice: "Don't destroy it easily."

Su Peisheng took Yu Ying'er to the Yangxin Palace to report, thinking he had found the right person.

Yu Ying'er also deliberately said some ambiguous words in front of the emperor to mislead Yinzhen and make him believe them.

So Yu Ying'er suddenly became the daughter of Yu Guan and was granted the residence in Zhongcui Palace, living in the same palace with noble lady Borjigit.

After serving the emperor in bed for several days in a row, she was promoted to a concubine and was given the title of "Lady Miaoyin".

Yu agreed to take charge of the situation and acted very arrogantly.

In addition, she thought that she could rely on Concubine Hua's power after she joined her, and she even dared to ask Shen Meizhuang, who came from a prominent family, to give her a promise to give way.

Shen Meizhuang didn't know if there was a lump in her head or what.

She was favored, had power in the palace, had a good family background, and was a noble lady two levels higher than Yu Da Ying. How could she be so spineless and give way to her?

Anyway, Yi Xin could never understand it.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, at the Queen's reminder, Yinzhen finally turned over An Lingrong's name card.

Yi Xin knew what would happen next, and she was happy to see the jade being returned intact to Zhao.

The next day everyone knew that An Lingrong had been sent back last night, and Yu Da Ying was taken to serve her in bed.

In the drama, many eunuchs and maids in the Yanxi Palace laughed at An Lingrong, and were scolded by Shen Meizhuang who came to visit An Lingrong. In this life, Aunt Fangcao was there, and with a glare from her, all the servants became obedient, and no unpleasant words were spread in the Yanxi Palace.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan have left." Yi Xin asked Xiao Linzi to quietly keep an eye on the movements in the back hall and report back as soon as the people left.

"Since they've left, Lianqiao, Xiaolinzi, you should accompany me to see An Da Ying. After all, we live in the same palace, so we should go and comfort them."

Yi Xin stood up and let Lian Qiao and Sang'er dress her and wrap her in a thick cloak. Then Lian Qiao and Xiao Linzi protected her on both sides and went to the back hall.

"Hello, Concubine Qiong." The servants in the back hall greeted in unison.

An Lingrong heard the noise inside. Although she knew that Concubine Qiong was a good-tempered person, she really didn't want anyone to visit her at this moment, let alone comfort her, because that would make her look even more embarrassed. But Concubine Qiong was the head of Yanxi Palace, so how could she dare to stop her?

She could only force a smile and welcome the person in, "I pay my respects to Concubine Qiong."

Yi Xin hurriedly helped her up, "Sister, get up quickly."

Yi Xin was about to open her mouth to say something, but her eyes unexpectedly stopped on the jade table and golden cup on the table beside An Lingrong.

She frowned, as if she was thinking of something bad, her face changed slightly, and then she hurriedly said: "I just came to see if my sister is okay. If my sister is fine, I will go back."

An Lingrong was such a sensitive person that she naturally noticed her abnormality, but she was in a hurry to leave, so An Lingrong couldn't stop her. But she was full of doubts.

Is there something wrong with that pot of jade table golden cup?

She thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out, so she decided to go to the main hall and ask Yi Xin in person.

Yi Xin ate snacks while waiting for her to arrive.

"I was free and had nothing to do, so I embroidered a handkerchief for you, and I thought of giving it to you."

"Your craftsmanship is naturally excellent."

Just when Yi Xin was about to catch the handkerchief, An Lingrong suddenly held her hand and pleaded with her eyes, "Your Majesty, I want to talk to you alone. I wonder if you can agree to let me."

Yi Xin looked at her swollen eyes, sighed softly, and then said, "You guys go down first."

Lian Qiao and the others were a little hesitant, so Yi Xin waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Sister An is so gentle and kind. How can she harm me? Go down quickly."

They then left, looking back every three steps.

As soon as the door closed, An Lingrong knelt down in front of her and cried, "Please, Madam, let me die with peace of mind!"

"What are you doing? Get up!" Yi Xin wanted to help her up, but An Lingrong refused to get up.

Yi Xin had no choice but to say, "I don't want to get involved in the palace struggle. If you want me to help you solve your doubts, you must swear not to betray me."

An Lingrong wiped her tears and immediately raised three fingers, "I swear, if you tell anyone about what happened today, I will die a miserable death!"

"Get up and talk."

An Lingrong then stood up, and Yi Xin pointed to the seat on the other side of the bed and asked her to sit down.

"When I was little, I went to the flower market and saw beautiful flowers, so I asked my mother to buy some for me. Although I like flowers, I always take it out on flowers and plants when I'm unhappy. One time, I tore a pot of flowers and ate something without paying attention and washing my hands. That night, I was shaking all over, feeling dizzy and nauseous."

When Yi Xin mentioned that she was trembling all over, An Lingrong's eyes widened obviously, and she was obviously thinking of herself.

"Later, the court doctor examined me and said that I was poisoned by daffodils. Although daffodils are beautiful and have a pleasant fragrance, their bulbs, flowers and juice are all poisonous. The poison is not too serious. At the mildest, it will make people tremble all over, feel dizzy and nauseous. At the worst, they will vomit and have diarrhea uncontrollably."

She looked at An Lingrong with pity, "Another name for Yutai Jinzhan is Narcissus."

An Lingrong's heart trembled, and she clutched her handkerchief tightly, "So... Your Majesty, someone is trying to harm me?"

Although it was a question, An Lingrong was already convinced that she had been murdered.

Yi Xin nodded, "I went there today to comfort you, but I didn't expect to see the Jade Platform Golden Cup. Those flowers are not cheap, and the person who sent them must have spent a lot of money."

She looked at An Lingrong and asked in a puzzled manner, "Have you ever offended any rich people?"

An Lingrong smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I am just an unpopular concubine. Who would send me such precious flowers just to harm me?"

Yi Xin rubbed her forehead and thought, "Since he is not trying to harm you, then he has other purposes."

An Lingrong immediately became alert, "Do you have any other purpose?"

"As for the purpose, I can't guess. But there is one thing I want to remind you of."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"The doctor who treated me said that although the bulbs, flowers and juice of daffodils are poisonous, there will be no reaction if they come into contact with the skin. Only if they are ingested will they cause poisoning. The person who sent the flowers is certainly malicious, and you need someone to cooperate with her in order to succeed."

An Lingrong was so frightened that she stood up. She clenched her handkerchief tightly and asked, "Madam, are you saying that there is a spy here?"

"After I was diagnosed with pregnancy, the Emperor specially sent Aunt Fangcao to come here. Aunt Fangcao found out within a few days that I had four or five spies around me, and replaced them all. I have so many around me, isn't it normal for you to have one or two?"

An Lingrong asked Yi Xin for help, "My queen, what should I do?"

"I don't understand these housekeepers' affairs, but Aunt Fangcao said that as long as you listen more, watch more, and think more, you will know who they belong to. What happens after this depends on what we, as the master, think. Aunt Fangcao said that we can keep those spies and reveal false information appropriately to make the other party suffer a loss. If you don't want to go through so much trouble, just send them away. I am afraid of trouble, so I asked Aunt Fangcao to get them all away."

Yi Xin sipped her tea, wondering which method An Lingrong would choose.

If it was the former, she dared to fool the Queen and make her suffer, and the Queen would definitely bear a grudge against her.

If it is the latter, a minor concubine who can remove the nail she has planted will also be feared by the queen.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, it's what Yi Xin wants to see.
