In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Ling Rong was packing her things. She was now a noble lady with a title, and it was inappropriate for her to live in this simple side hall of the Yanx Palace. So she went to see the emperor, and after a long time she finally got the order to move to the back hall of the Qixiang Palace.

Lingrong said it didn't matter at all that she didn't live in the main hall or in any of the palaces for favored concubines like the Changshou Palace, as long as it wasn't here, any place would be fine.

Ling Rong in the back hall of Qixiang Palace knew that Lipin lived in the main hall of Qixiang Palace, and Cao Guiren lived in the side hall. Although the space seemed a bit crowded after she moved in, the Yanx Palace had long been reserved for Fucha Guiren. She could not live in the main hall if she stayed there, and had to endure Fucha Guiren's childish provocations.

After she became pregnant, the Yanx Palace became the focus of the Queen's attention. If she continued to live there, she might accidentally become the Queen's scapegoat, and even if not, she might easily be injured by mistake. Lingrong said that she did not want to endure Fucha Guiren for these reasons, and she did not want to help Fucha Guiren keep the child just to avoid being implicated, so it would be better to change her residence.

Qixiang Palace is not bad. Concubine Li will be gone soon, and Concubine Cao will not last long either. In a few years, the entire Qixiang Palace will be hers alone. It makes me happy just thinking about it. I can live alone in a palace without worrying about bad things. After all, the Queen knows that Concubine Li has been unable to give birth for a long time due to the influence of Huanyixiang, and Concubine Cao had a dystocia when she gave birth to Princess Wenyi, and the imperial physician diagnosed that she would not be able to have any more children.

The Queen is not really that rich to afford so many harmful medicinal herbs. You have to know that these things are not cheap. If Ling Rong had not found a reason to visit Sui Yuxuan, she would have wanted to go to Sui Yuxuan to dig out the jar of musk and sell it in the shop.

It would be best if all the gold coins sold were spent on buying the emperor luxury goods. This way, the queen could contribute her love to her beloved emperor.

Just when Lingrong was daydreaming, Songzhi came. Seeing Songzhi, Lingrong knew that she must have got the answer from Concubine Hua.

The reason they come to me is either to trade, or because they don’t believe the answers I found and want to get different answers from me.

"Lady Jiao, my queen invites you!"

"Aunt Songzhi is here. It looks like Concubine Hua has gotten the answer she wanted!"

Lingrong received the other party with a big smile on her face, and immediately stood up, put on Baoli and prepared to follow Songzhi. Baojuan, who had been wandering near the side hall, wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lingrong: "Baojuan! Baoli will follow you, you can stay and continue cleaning."

Baojuan had no choice but to watch Lingrong leave in anger. When she could no longer see Lingrong and the others, Baojuan threw away the broom and took a shortcut to Jingren Palace to report to Jianqiu while no one was paying attention.

Jianqiu was confused when she learned that Concubine Hua had sent Songzhi to find Lingrong at this time. It was already after dinner and it was almost time for the Emperor to flip the cards. Could it be that Concubine Hua deliberately chose this time to ask Concubine Jiao to go to Yikun Palace?

Jianqiu thought in her heart that Concubine Hua deliberately called Concubine Jiao to Yiku Palace when she was turning over the cards, so that the Emperor could no longer ask Concubine Jiao to sleep with him. She still had a serious and dissatisfied look on her face towards Baojuan.

"Baojuan, these news are not important. Others in the palace can find out. The Queen sent you to Concubine Jiao to be her confidant and pass on key news to Concubine Jiao, not to waste your time talking about these news that anyone can find out."

"When Concubine Jiao returns to Yanxi Palace, you must find a way to find out what happened between her and Concubine Hua. Otherwise, don't blame me for telling the Empress that you are not doing your job well."

After coaxing and intimidating Baojuan away, Jianqiu turned around and looked for the queen, telling her all her guesses.

The Queen frowned and thought. She didn't think things were as simple as Jianqiu said. It was just that Baojuan was really useless. She had never gained Concubine Jiao's trust in half a year, so she still couldn't figure out Concubine Jiao's situation.

The Queen always felt that the reason why Concubine Jiao was so different from others was not just because of her personality, but it seemed that she had some other reason.

If Lingrong knew that the Queen guessed this about her, she would have to give a thumbs up to the Queen's perceptiveness.

She has something to rely on, isn't it? After living a new life, she knows so many things about people in the palace. If she doesn't use a few of them to play with, wouldn't it be very boring? It's still boring to sleep and embroider and make perfume every day.

Anyway, the one fighting in the harem is never the concubines, but the emperor. Her ultimate goal is to succeed as long as she can deal with the emperor.

It's just that this emperor is too suspicious and cold-hearted. Ling Rong doesn't have enough gold coins to buy the right things to guarantee that the emperor will agree to give the prince to her to raise.

When Lingrong arrived at Yiku Palace, Songzhi did not follow her in, but waited outside the door with Zhou Ninghai.

Lingrong walked in and saw Concubine Hua sitting on the couch with a heavy heart, not knowing what she was thinking about. It was only when Lingrong greeted her that she came back to her senses.

After Hua Fei was exempted from the formalities, she did not beat around the bush but pointed directly at the incense burner in the center of the room and asked, "Do you know what's in there? Do you know who added these things in there?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. Who would dare to tamper with the Huan Yi Xiang that the Emperor personally ordered to be prepared for you?"

Lingrong knew that Concubine Hua still had expectations in her heart, but she didn't want to burst her expectations. What if she let Concubine Hua rush to the emperor now and expose herself?

Seeing Concubine Hua starting to speculate based on her words, Lingrong smiled innocently. Although it seemed that Concubine Hua, who was misled by her, was indeed a bit pitiful, but in her previous life, she was humiliated by Concubine Hua and forced to sing like an actor until her voice became hoarse, which was also pitiful.

Anyway, Hua Fei's real pain was not caused by herself, but Hua Fei contributed a lot to the humiliation in her previous life.

Instead of pitying her, it is better to pity yourself in your previous life.

Lingrong watched coldly as Hua Fei followed the hint and became angrier and angrier, and soon she turned her anger towards her mortal enemy, the Queen.

"It must be the Queen. No, the Queen's power in the palace is not that great. I know. The Queen Mother, there must be another Queen Mother!"

"I'm going to go find the emperor and ask him to find out the truth and make the decision for me!" Concubine Hua stood up and wanted to go find the emperor. Ling Rong didn't stop her, but just before she was about to leave, she suddenly asked, "Are you sure you want to ask the emperor?"

"Let the Emperor know that his biological mother and his wife conspired to murder his concubine and his child?"

"Besides, even if the emperor knew about it, what would happen? Does the queen have any evidence? Can the emperor ignore filial piety for the queen?"

Lingrong's three consecutive questions calmed Concubine Hua down. Even if she still wanted to be the queen, she knew that the emperor, who had only been on the throne for half a year and had not yet completely stabilized the court, could not really depose the queen.
