The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

But that night, Jingren Palace was in turmoil again. The queen had just laid down on the bed when she heard the nurse screaming from the side hall: "Seventh Prince!"

The Queen quickly stood up and saw that the Seventh Prince was covered in red rashes. She was so frightened that she quickly called back the imperial physician who had just left.

A wet nurse knelt down boldly and asked the queen: "Queen, may I ask, did the Seventh Prince eat anything just now?"

Jianqiu stepped forward quickly and said: "How dare you! Do you think the Queen would harm the Seventh Prince?"

"I didn't, and I dare not." The frightened wet nurse kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Okay, stop arguing. We'll know when the imperial physician comes." The queen couldn't help but have a headache. She had just laid down and hadn't fallen asleep yet, but the child was causing trouble again. How could a boy be so pretentious?

Another nurse also stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, Queen, did the Seventh Prince eat shrimp?"

The Queen was suddenly shocked: "What do you mean by that? Can't the Seventh Prince eat shrimp?"

The nurse kowtowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince cannot eat shrimps. Once the little prince eats shrimps, he will get a rash all over his body."

Jianqiu went up and slapped the wet nurse: "How dare you not tell me in advance that the Seventh Prince cannot eat shrimps. You, a lowly servant, must have concealed it on purpose to harm the Prince."

The nurse was so frightened that she immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Queen, please spare me. I didn't do that. The little prince is still young. We, the wet nurses, are responsible for all his food. I didn't expect that the Queen would...would..."

If a child in the palace is allergic to a food, this matter is usually kept secret and not let others know, in order to prevent others from harming the child.

The Seventh Prince was still young, and all his diet was taken care of by the wet nurse. When he grew up, there would also be a wet nurse responsible for screening the food sent from the imperial kitchen.

Everything was fine originally. After all, the wet nurse was the only one responsible for preparing the meals, and the Queen Mother could feed the child if she wanted. But who would have thought that the Queen Mother would send them away and order the small kitchen to prepare food for the Seventh Prince.

The small kitchen in Jingren Palace is not as good as that in Yanxi Palace. How could they know that the little prince couldn't eat shrimp? They just thought shrimp was nutritious. But who knew that the little prince couldn't eat shrimp.

Not long after the incident, several imperial doctors went to Jingren Palace again. However, because the incident had just stopped, the Empress sent people to call them secretly, making sure not to alarm other people in the palace, especially An Lingrong.

But the matter was eventually known by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. After they came to Jingren Palace, they looked at the poor little Hongxu, who had become like this in just one month.

The imperial doctors induced vomiting in the Seventh Prince and gave him bitter medicines. It took him most of the night before he felt better.

After the Queen Mother understood the whole story, she severely reprimanded the Queen several times.

The Emperor also reprimanded the Queen. The Seventh Prince's diet was obviously taken care of by wet nurses, so why did she have so much free time to let the small kitchen cook for the Seventh Prince?

The Queen Mother and the Emperor also knew that the wet nurses were not to blame, so they asked the wet nurses to take good care of the Seventh Prince to atone for their sins.

But ever since An Lingrong's child went to Jingren Palace, she had people watching the child every day. So, An Lingrong knew about it as soon as something happened.

So the next day after the court session, Su Peisheng came in to pay his respects: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou is here."

The emperor looked unhappy when he thought about what happened last night, but he still let An Lingrong in.

An Lingrong walked to the door, took the plate of lotus seeds from Baoyu's hand, and then walked in.

"What did you take?"

"I have just peeled some lotus seeds. Your Majesty must be getting irritated from reviewing memorials all day long. Lotus seeds are the best for soothing the mind. Your Majesty, please try some."

"It's really hard for you. Just let the servants do these things. Peeling lotus seeds is the most damaging to nails. Your nails have only grown to two inches. It would be a pity if you damaged them."

"Your Majesty usually drinks lotus seed soup. I have removed the seeds from these fresh lotus seeds, so they have a different flavor."

An Lingrong thought of using Cao Qinmo's method in her previous life to get her child back. Lotus seeds, pity children.

After eating, the emperor nodded and said, "Yes, it is true. But the lotus seeds are missing the lotus core, so they lack flavor."

"The heart of the lotus seed is the most bitter, and others cannot understand it. So it is removed."

The emperor nodded and said a few words to An Lingrong, then let her go back. After An Lingrong left, the emperor got up and went to Jingren Palace.

The next day, when the concubines of the palaces paid their respects to the empress, the emperor came to Jingren Palace after leaving the court and asked the empress to take good care of Wanpin and Huipin's pregnancies in front of everyone: "After all, the empress has never raised a child, so the seventh prince will be raised by Concubine Rou again."

An Lingrong was delighted and quickly stood up and saluted: "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

The queen could only say yes bitterly. The words "she had never raised a child" deeply hurt the queen's heart.

After paying respects, An Lingrong couldn't wait to take the child back to the Yanxi Palace. Along the way, the Seventh Prince held An Lingrong's clothes tightly, fearing that his mother would leave him in the next moment.
