The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

Sure enough, the next day, after Shen Meizhuang paid her respects to the Queen, she went to the Yanx Palace with Zhen Huan.

"As soon as I heard the news that my sister was pregnant, I planned to come here with Huan'er yesterday, but Huan'er said that my sister would be very busy receiving gifts and guests that day, so I came to congratulate my sister today." Shen Meizhuang happily congratulated An Lingrong.

"Sister Wan, Sister Mei, you are here. Come on, Baoyu, pour the tea." An Lingrong stood up and greeted them warmly.

After the two chatted for a while, An Lingrong asked Baoyu to close the doors and windows, and then whispered to Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang: "You two sisters can trust Lingrong."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but look serious when they saw An Lingrong's expression. Zhen Huan said, "What are you talking about? The three of us sisters entered the palace together and have supported each other until now. Of course we believe you."

An Lingrong nodded and said, "My two sisters, you may not believe what I am going to say next, but you must remember to be careful of the queen. She is not as gentle as she looks."

Both of them were shocked. Shen Meizhuang said in disbelief: "But the Queen is famous for her kindness and generosity. How could this happen?"

"I wonder if you sisters have any familiar imperial physician in this palace. Call him over now and tell him that I want to find another imperial physician to help me take care of the child." Zhen Huan nodded, then instructed Liu Zhu to call Wen Shichu.

"To be honest with you two sisters, ever since I gained the emperor's favor, two out of the five things the queen sent me were mixed with musk. Especially since I was diagnosed with pregnancy, the string of Buddhist beads she sent me was even more full of musk."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were both shocked when they heard this. They had no idea that the queen, who was gentle and virtuous in their eyes, would actually be such a person.

After Wen Shichu arrived, An Lingrong handed the Buddhist beads to Wen Shichu for inspection. Wen Shichu lowered his head to smell it and suddenly raised his head with a nervous expression: "Excuse me, young master, where did this Buddhist beads come from?"

After the three of them looked at each other, An Lingrong said, "Master Wen, what's unusual about this string of Buddhist beads?"

"My lord, these Buddhist beads contain a large amount of musk. If a woman wears them for a long time, she will never be able to conceive. If a pregnant woman wears them within a month, she will have a miscarriage." Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were both shocked. After sending Wen Shichu away, they took a long time to react.

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "During my confinement, I dug out a jar of musk kernels from under the roots of the crabapple tree in Sui Yu Xuan. I think this is the reason why Concubine Fang who lived there had a miscarriage for no reason."

"What? Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?" Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but feel scared when she heard this.

"After all, this matter is of great importance. My sister wanted to know as few people as possible, so she didn't tell anyone."

An Lingrong thought for a moment and said, "You two sisters know that I can make perfume. This musk smells very special. If I were buried under the roots of the crabapple tree, I would definitely smell it. When I went to Sister Wan's place before, I could only smell some sweet-scented osmanthus. It seems that those sweet-scented osmanthus were planted to cover up the smell of the sweet-scented osmanthus."

Zhen Huan was stunned when she heard this and said, "When I first arrived at Sui Yu Xuan, Pei Er said that these osmanthus flowers were ordered by the Empress, saying that the new nobles would bring some nobility to the palace."

Both of them were terrified. An Lingrong knew that because Concubine Hua had made things difficult for Shen Meiyu, their attention would be mainly focused on Concubine Hua. An Lingrong must keep such a boss who was not willing to make big promises. This was a good opportunity to expose the Queen's true face and divert their attention.

"Anyway, the two sisters now know the Queen's character clearly. We should be more careful in the future. Any reward from the Queen should be taken to the imperial physician for examination." Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Sisters, please be alert to the people around you. I saw Baojuan beside me secretly talking to Jianqiu beside the Queen."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang nodded and decided to go back and check everyone in the palace and give them some punishment.

After that, they said a few words and stood up to say goodbye. After An Lingrong sent the two away, she thought that since she was pregnant and couldn't serve the emperor, Yu's good days should be coming soon, so it was a good opportunity to let this idiot divert her attention.

An Lingrong touched her belly and said, "Baby, mother will definitely protect you."
