An Rong originally wanted to keep Shen Manyun in Jingyang Palace for dinner and try to trick Shen Manyun. But seeing how Shen Manyun was perfunctory with her, she immediately changed her mind.
She decided to take advantage of the situation: "Is there anything else happening to my sister? If anything happens, I will invite my sister to have dinner at Jingyang Palace another day. My sister is busy with other matters."
As soon as An Rong said this, it touched Shen Manyun's heart.
She just didn't want to eat in Jingyang Palace for fear of being poisoned by An Rong, so of course she wanted to eat as far away from An Rong's side as possible.
"Then I'll come back and talk to my sister another day." Shen Manyun stood up and left.
As soon as she left, Aunt Peng immediately stepped forward and said: "This Concubine Zhen is not a good person at first glance. Why does the Queen treat her so politely? The Queen should find a chance to get rid of traitors like this who betrayed the Queen!"
"Sister Shen's relationship with me is extraordinary. From the beginning, I had the intention of taking advantage of her. Later, when she found out, she turned against the Queen. Speaking of which, neither I nor Sister Shen can be sorry for the other. It's just that we have different ways and we don't want to work together." An Rong still said something fair.
Although she was disappointed when she learned that An Rong and Mu Ci had joined forces, she also knew that there was no way to make Shen Manyun look back, so she might as well resort to tricks and continue to perform the so-called sisterly love with Shen Manyun.
In this harem, everything has always been false, so what's the surprise when there's another Shen Manyun?
"The empress is so kind and soft-hearted that she was bullied into this by the queen." Aunt Peng said solemnly: "The empress should be ruthless when she should be ruthless!"
An Rong glanced at Nanny Peng and said, "I know this well."
She had killed all those who were loyal to her, how could she be so cruel? It's not that she wasn't cruel, it was just that her methods were not as good as Mu Ci's.
But that was before, and Mu Ci would have no chance of beating her again in the future.
"I'm also thinking about my queen. Don't blame me for talking too much." Aunt Peng knew that she was talking too much, so she quickly added.
"No problem, I know you are loyal. Today you find an opportunity to send a message to Zi Yuxuan and ask Yu Jieyu to find a way to see me. I have something to ask her." An Rong said with a straight face. Get down to business.
Aunt Peng agreed and set out to handle the matter.
After Yun'er received the news from Jingyang Palace, she found a good opportunity to tell Yuzhi.
Yuzhi felt unhappy.
Yun'er has been exchanging news with Jingyang Palace. When she has no value, she will definitely be abandoned by An Rong. She doesn't want to see such a result, but unfortunately, she can't break up with An Rong yet.
"I understand. You have been running around for so long. You should sit down and rest for a while. I will go to the agreed place to meet Concubine An in the evening." Yuzhi said to Yun'er softly.
Yun'er was a little flattered.
Yuzhi used to always speak aloof and treat her as a slave. Why is he suddenly so considerate to her now?
"You are the closest person to me. Many things require you to run errands. Although I don't say it on weekdays, I know that you are working very hard." Yuzhi said, picking out two of the few jewelry items in the jewelry box. He handed the document to Yun'er and said, "I am a useless master. I can't even get the reward. You are wronged by following me."
Yun'er hurriedly said: "It's not wrong for me to follow my master. Although my current status is not high, I will definitely become more and more successful in the future. I can't belittle myself. I can keep these two pieces of jewelry for myself." I don’t usually wear jewelry, so if I give it to a slave, I won’t be able to wear it, which is a waste of good things.”
"Just take it if you are told to take it. This is an order." Of course the jade fat cannot be taken back.
Now she wants to bribe Yun'er.
Since it can't change the fact that Yun'er is An Rong's person, it's better to think of a way to take Yun'er as his own.
An Rong can't let An Rong take the lead in everything, she has to plan for herself.
After this battle, Yun'er did feel that her master, Yuzhi, was much closer to her.
That night, Yuzhi went to the agreed place at the appointed time and met An Rong.
"Didn't you say that there is no need for us to meet if there is no need? Why do you want to see me?" Yuzhi looked around and found that there was no one else except Granny Peng.
Mr. An is a cautious person. He looks kind and kind on weekdays, but he is actually a ruthless master.
Cooperating with such people is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
"When you left the palace, what kind of medicine did you find for the emperor to take? Why do I think the emperor's reaction was different from what I thought?" An Rong asked coldly.
Yuzhi only said that the matter was done, so would it be possible that Yuzhi did something unnecessary in the meantime?
Yuzhi was an arrogant and domineering person, she should have been more careful a long time ago, but she was afraid that it was too late now.
"Isn't it the medicine you asked me to find? I always act according to your plan, why do you turn around and ask me?" Yuzhi felt confused.
"Are you sure nothing went wrong along the way?" An Rong was still worried.
Yuzhi suppressed the anger in her heart and replied quietly: "After all, I took the medicine according to the address you mentioned. After that, I gave the medicine to your person, who found Sanyu, and Sanyu said
This has been done. As for the rest, I don't know. If you ask me, you might as well ask Sanyu."
An Rong saw that Yuzhi was unhappy, so she softened her tone and said: "It's not that I don't trust you, but the emperor's reaction after returning to the palace was a bit strange, so I wanted to ask you to find out. Since there is nothing you can do.
If something goes wrong, then there will be no doubts here in this palace."
Yu Zhiman responded, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I don't want anyone to find out that I have anything to do with you."
An Rong watched her walk into the night and remained silent for a long time.
Aunt Gu said in a low voice: "In my opinion, Yu Jieyu is not so brave and dares to change the dressing midway. The empress must be overly worried."
An Rong looked at the dark night: "I am afraid that something has really gone wrong, and the emperor's reaction should not be like this."
"Perhaps your Majesty is thinking too much. If you observe more, your Majesty will know that things are not as you think, but that your thoughts are too heavy." Aunt Peng comforted An Rong.
An Rong shook off her thoughts: "That's all, go back to Jingyang Palace. Tomorrow I will go to Yanfu Palace to see if I can see the emperor."
When she meets the emperor, she will know if she is overthinking it.
The next day, An Rong did not go to Yong'an Palace to pay his respects, but went to Yanfu Palace early in the morning. However, when it was time for the next court, Dugu Liancheng still did not come back.
She asked someone to ask, but no one knew where the emperor had gone.
She was unwilling to give in. After waiting all morning, Dugu Liancheng returned to Yanfu Palace without seeing her. It was not until she was so hungry that she had to return to Jingyang Palace.
Aunt Peng inquired about the news in the afternoon and said that the emperor had returned to Yanfu Palace.
