The early spring wind slowly blew the tips of Shen Ruoyan's hair, with a hint of the fragrance of flowers in the coolness. The back garden was full of spring scenery, but Shen Ruoyan had no intention of appreciating the beauty around her.

Following Aunt Gui's footsteps, she walked step by step towards the imperial concubine's bedroom. Shen Ruoyan knew that the imperial concubine had summoned them there and there must be some hidden conspiracy, so she secretly winked at her mother.

Before Mrs. Shen understood what her daughter meant, she saw Shen Ruoyan covering her stomach with both hands and humming softly.

"Ah yo~"

Mrs. Shen reacted immediately and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Ayan?"

"I don't know why... my stomach... hurts a little..." Shen Ruoyan bit her lip, looking like she was trying her best to endure it, "Mother, I feel a little chilly."

Mrs. Shen supported her weak daughter and said to Aunt Gui: "Aunt Gui, you see that Ayan is not feeling well..."

Before Mrs. Shen finished speaking, Aunt Gui also lifted one of Shen Ruoyan's arms and said first, "Why is Miss Shen suddenly feeling unwell? The imperial concubine's bedroom is in front of her. Let's help Miss Shen over there and take a rest. .”

"No, she must have been greedy and ate too much in the Queen Mother's palace just now. I just need to take her back to have a rest. If she spreads her illness to the imperial concubine, it will be a big sin." Mrs. Shen still tried to struggle.

"Mrs. Shen, what are you talking about?" Aunt Gui scolded, "Ms. Shen is also the imperial concubine who has watched her grow up. She treats her as her own child. How can she care about this? This abdominal pain is not something to be taken carelessly. Please help me." It would be best for the imperial physician to come and take a look at Miss Shen."

As Aunt Gui spoke, she helped Shen Ruoyan walk towards the imperial concubine's bedroom without stopping.

Seeing that she couldn't hide even if she pretended to be sick, Shen Ruoyan had no choice but to give her mother a careful look, let Aunt Gui support her, and stepped into Concubine Xuan's palace.

"What's wrong with Ayan? But what's wrong with her?" Seeing Shen Ruoyan being helped in, Concubine Xuan, who was mixing incense, put down the spices in her hands and walked to the door in person to take Shen Ruoyan's hand and asked.

Before the weather had fully warmed up, Concubine Xuan had already put on light silk gauze. Her whole body was wrapped in complicated silk gauze, making her look graceful and luxurious, more beautiful and dazzling than the peonies in the garden.

Perhaps because of the lack of clothing, Concubine Xuan's body temperature was slightly lower than that of others. When Shen Ruoyan was held by her soft and smooth hands, she suddenly felt trembling all over. This feeling was like being entangled by a poisonous snake spitting out letters. On my arms, I felt a chill coming from the soles of my feet.

Fortunately, she was pretending to be sick, so she didn't have to hide her pale face. Shen Ruoyan said weakly to Concubine Xuan: "I don't know why I suddenly had a stomachache on the way here, but I felt much better after entering your palace. Your Majesty, this place is indeed a treasured Feng Shui place for raising people.”

After hearing this, the imperial concubine smiled Yingying, helped Shen Ruoyan into the hall and sat down, "I like your little mouth, the words you say make people happy. It's a pity that you have a stomachache, I have prepared a lot of snacks you like here, later Ask people to pack them up and bring them back to you!"

"The imperial concubine still loves me." Shen Ruoyan smiled innocently, as if she didn't know anything.

The imperial concubine specially called them here today, and it would definitely not be as simple as sending gifts. However, in the palace, she did not dare to do anything outrageous. Shen Ruoyan just wanted to pretend to be stupid and hide away.

The imperial concubine lit an incense burner and coaxed Shen Ruoyan like a child: "Ayan, why don't you drink some hot water to warm yourself up?"

After hearing this, Shen Ruoyan no longer refused deliberately, and took the initiative to pick up the teacup and pretend to take a sip.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, Concubine Xuan's eyes widened and she asked someone to bring a tray over: "A-Yan, you will be getting married to Mr. Lu next month, right? I have prepared a pair for you. Jade Ruyi, I hope everything will go well for you in the future."

The imperial concubine said, and personally handed the pair of jade Ruyi into Shen Ruoyan's hands, "Originally, I wanted to send someone to deliver it to you. I heard that you were entering the palace today, so I just gave it to you in person."

Shen Ruoyan quickly held Jade Ruyi in her hands and thanked her mother along with her.

On the surface, the few people were sitting together in harmony, but deep down they had their own thoughts.

Shen Ruoyan did not dare to be careless, she carefully dealt with the concubine's words, and did not even dare to touch anything in her palace.

When mother and daughter came out of the imperial concubine's palace, they were covered in cold sweat. They didn't dare to stay any longer. They didn't look at each other until they stepped out of the palace gate and exhaled at the same time.

Shen Ruoyan thought she could just escape this level, but she didn't expect to find out three days later that she had fallen into Concubine Xuan's trap.

On this day, Mrs. Li came to Shen's house to help plan the wedding.

Ever since Shen Ruoyan and Lu Yan's wedding was set, the most excited person was none other than Mrs. Li. She had married a daughter and was very familiar with all wedding matters, so she naturally became one of the backbone of the wedding banquet.

On this day, Mrs. Li also brought Li Zhihan, who was pregnant, with her.

Seeing Li Zhihan, Shen Ruoyan was the first to walk over and help her sit down on the chair, "Sister Li, why don't you have a good rest at home? There are so many people here. If I bump into you, how can I afford it? ah!"

Li Zhihan is now slightly pregnant, and her slightly bulging belly can be seen even in spring clothes.

Mrs. Li smiled and answered for her daughter: "When I was pregnant with her, I almost died of miscarriage because I was lazy and lay still all the time. I thought about Han'er, who had experience as a bride, so I let her Come and talk to you about what you need to pay attention to on the wedding day."

Li Zhihan also held Shen Ruoyan's hand affectionately and said, "Sister Shen, let's go to your room to talk."

Taking Li Zhihan to her room, Shen Ruoyan poured her a cup of tea.

Li Zhihan took the cup and asked in a confused manner: "Sister Shen, are you feeling unwell lately?"

Shen Ruoyan didn't know why Li Zhihan suddenly asked her, "What does sister mean by this?"

Li Zhihan put down the tea cup, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and finally said: "I mean, did my sister feel uncomfortable after coming out of the imperial concubine's place?"

Shen Ruoyan's expression changed. She and her mother entered the palace and met Concubine Xuan without telling anyone about it. How could Li Zhihan know?

Unless she is Concubine Xuan!

"Sister, where do you think I'm feeling uncomfortable?" Shen Ruoyan suppressed the shock in her heart, but her face remained calm.

Seeing that Shen Ruoyan was still pretending to be stupid, Li Zhihan made it clear and asked: "You were poisoned, don't you feel anything?"
