"My servant and Zhitao are both the empress's servants. Naturally, she has to be good in order to protect her." Kikyo remained expressionless, speaking appropriately and with a respectful attitude.
"How good are you at talking and doing? Sister An, this is your blessing." Shen Manyun looked at Platycodon grandiflorum with approval, her eyes twinkling.
An Rong is not only good at scheming, but also good at fate. If Kikyo hadn't suddenly stepped forward today, Zhitao would have been dead, and even God would have been helping An Rong.
She wished that there was no one around An Rong.
An Rong is also very satisfied with Platycodon grandiflorum.
Shen Manyun comforted An Rong for a while before leaving Jingyang Palace.
"Concubine An is really good at scheming. Just now she was telling the empress about the bitter plot. I guess she hopes that the empress will help her deal with Mu Meiren?" Hui Xin said sarcastically as soon as she walked out of Jingyang Palace.
Shen Manyun raised her red lips slightly: "Yes, she has used this method many times. It's funny that I have never doubted her before, and she has taken advantage of her more than once or twice. Today she suffered a loss at the hands of Mu Ci, It actually makes me feel bad!"
Although she also hated Mu Ci, Mu Ci had never taken advantage of her feelings. An Rong was just the opposite. She approached her with purpose from the beginning. She truly regarded An Rong as a friend, but An Rong only regarded her as a stepmother. stepping stones.
Sooner or later, she will tear An Rong's hypocritical face to pieces.
Let’s go back to Jingyang Palace.
After Shen Manyun left, An Rong called the envoy Jiang Yuan to him and said coldly: "Master Jiang, are you talking nonsense in front of the emperor?!"
When Jiang Yuan heard this, he was stunned and hurriedly knelt down in front of An Rong: "Replying to the empress, I did not say anything inappropriate to the emperor."
An Rong looked at Jiang Yuan envoy coldly and shouted in a deep voice: "Now that things have happened, do you still dare to fool me?!"
"Even if I was given great courage, I would not dare to deceive the imperial concubine. I really don't know why the imperial concubine is suspicious of me. How could I betray you?" Envoy Jiang looked directly at An Rong.
The imperial concubine actually believed that he was the one responsible for gossiping in front of the emperor? He could not afford this unfounded crime.
An Rong looked at Ambassador Jiang for a long time, and when she saw that he didn't seem to be lying, she frowned: "You really didn't betray me?"
"If you don't believe me, I dare you to swear a poisonous oath." Jiang Yuan's expression remained ashen as before.
An Rong's expression did not improve. She calmed down and continued to ask: "In that case, why did you appear with the emperor in Jingyang Palace?"
She thought that envoy Jiang Yuan had told the emperor the news that her unborn baby was about to die.
So, did she fall into Mu Ci's trap?
"Yesterday, I was on duty at the Imperial Hospital and was suddenly transferred to Yanfu Palace by the Emperor. The Emperor did not tell me to do anything. It was not until something happened in Jingyang Palace that I was taken to Jingyang Palace by the Emperor." The envoy from Jiangyuan said calmly.
He was also on tenterhooks, thinking that the emperor knew that the emperor's heir was about to be killed, but when the emperor left, the emperor did not question her about the matter.
After hearing what Jiang Yuanshi said, An Rong held her chair hard: "How could this happen?"
Mu Ci unexpectedly came up empty handed, and she also fell into Mu Ci's trap.
If she had trusted Ambassador Jiang, Mu Ci might have been successfully framed by her.
Yes, Mu Ci had no time to deal with envoy Jiang Yuan yesterday. Mu Ci was in Jingyang Palace at that time, so how could he have time to instigate envoy Jiang Yuan to betray her?
How did Mu Ci know about what happened in Jingyang Palace? Mu Ci was sure that he could make an issue of Jiang Yuan Envoy, and he must have gotten the news from Jingyang Palace.
Mu Ci indeed defeated her in this battle, and made her convinced that she had lost. Mu Ci had figured out her suspicious temperament, and calculated that it was her distrust of Jiang Yuanshi that caused her good game to be ruined by his own hands.
.
Mu Ci was indeed different from ordinary people. In the first battle between her and Mu Ci in the harem, she was completely defeated.
It was a pity that the royal heir in her belly was expected to be successfully delivered in a few months, but unexpectedly he died before he could come to this world.
After sending the envoy from Jiangyuan, An Rong lay back on the couch.
She just had a miscarriage and needed to take good care of her health. The emperor's heir was gone and she might still be pregnant in the future. There was no need for her to be depressed and unable to recover.
Platycodon came forward to help An Rong lie down, and An Rong looked at her calm eyebrows.
Although she still trusts Zhitao the most, Kikyo's recent performance has been very eye-catching.
Now that Tao is injured and unable to move around, some things can only be left to Kikyo. Let’s see how well Kikyo can do things.
"Jikyong, go and find out who leaked the news the day before yesterday." An Rong gave an order.
Platycodon responded: "Yes, your Majesty, please rest first. If you have any news, I will come and report to you."
An Rong waved her hand, and Platykyo retreated.
Her work efficiency was pretty good. She identified several people within an hour and singled out the biggest suspect.
An Rong took a nap and regained her energy.
"Do you suspect that the news has leaked out?" An Rong asked.
"Exactly. The slave girl found out that Kexin and Yingchun of Yong'an Palace had always had something to say. Kexin left Jingyang Palace on the day of the incident. Although it was not Yingchun who was looking for Kexin, it could be that Yingchun was looking for someone to call Kexin behind his back.
Go out. A smart person like Mu Meiren, even if Ke Xin reveals not much information, Mu Meiren can still find some clues from it." Kikyo expressed her opinion.
An Rong nodded approvingly.
"You did a good job on this matter. In your opinion, how should I deal with it?"
"Just kill him with a stick or send him to the Yeting Bureau. He is just an insignificant person, but you can't keep him. Everything depends on the empress." When Kikyo said this, he didn't even blink.
An Rong took a deep look at Platycodon grandiflorum and felt that she had underestimated this palace maid. She was more useful than Zhitao.
"Then tell me, is it better to kill him with a stick, or throw him into the Yeting Bureau?" An Rong asked casually.
Platycodon thought for a moment and then said: "Yeting Bureau is more appropriate. The empress wants to create a good reputation now, so she shouldn't kill too indiscriminately."
An Rong laughed when she heard this: "If it were Shi Zhitao, he would definitely suggest me to kill him with a stick."
Speaking of which, Kikyo is more farsighted and thoughtful, but Zhitao only thinks about immediate interests and revenge.
This time she suffered heavy losses, and Zhitao was also punished with a cane. Zhitao must have hated her deeply, right?
"Your Majesty is a person who does great things, but her heart is just a pawn, and she is not worthy of your concern." Platycodon said solemnly.
"I will throw it into the Yeting Bureau as you said. But no one can be left behind. Find an opportunity to remove it quietly without leaving any traces." An Rong looked indifferent.
Platycodon platycodon remained expressionless, as if she was not surprised by An Rong's decision: "Yes, I can spare the trouble."
"One more thing, go and find out why I added some cold medicine that shouldn't have been added to my meals." An Rong's face turned gloomy when she mentioned this matter.
