Gradually, in May and June, the weather started to get warmer, and An Lingrong's belly was particularly big because she was pregnant with multiple babies.

In addition to exercising for half an hour every day as ordered by the imperial physician, she would spend the rest of her time in the palace sewing clothes, hats and shoes for the children. In order to smell more mugwort, she also sewed a sachet for herself and asked Wei Lin to put mugwort in it so that she could carry it with her.

An Lingrong used mugwort frequently, and although she did it very secretly, the Queen had also heard about it. She couldn't help but wonder, An Lingrong started burning mugwort when the baby was just over three months old, could it be that the baby could not be born?

That day, An Lingrong suddenly thought of it. It seemed to be around this time that Zhen Huan found out that she was poisoned and then traced it back to Yu.

An Lingrong looked at the small piece of clothing she had just sewn. There was a koi fish embroidered on the blue piece. Because she only knew that the baby was a multiple pregnancy but not whether it was a boy or a girl, An Lingrong made duplicates of everything, one for each boy and one for girl.

After putting away the small clothes, An Lingrong picked up a copy of "The Doctrine of the Mean". During this period of time, she consulted the emperor and Zhen Huan. It took An Lingrong two months to complete her elementary studies. Now, she only needs this copy of "The Doctrine of the Mean" to completely learn the Four Books.

After arriving at the Suiyuxuan, Huanbi told An Lingrong that Zhen Huan had been often sleepy in recent days. Just after she said a few words, she saw Liuzhu supporting Zhen Huan out.

Zhen Huan also looked like she had just woken up: "Ling Rong is here, come in quickly."

"Ms. An, you came at the right time. Our young master just woke up." Liu Zhu said with a smile.

"I heard from Huanbi that your sister has been sleepy these days?" "Yes, our young lady has been sleeping a lot these days. Once, the emperor came, and the young lady was still sleeping." Huanbi nodded in response when she heard An Lingrong ask this.

Because Zhen Huan doesn't know yet that she has been poisoned, An Lingrong has to find a way to get the imperial physician to check on Zhen Huan and discover the poisoning.

So he thought about it and said with a smile: "Could it be that sister is pregnant? When Lingrong was pregnant, she often couldn't wake up."

When the three heard this, they instantly perked up. Huanbi hurriedly said, "I'll go call Doctor Wen." Then she ran out in a flash.

An Lingrong looked at Huanbi's back and thought, she is worthy of being her biological sister. If it were an ordinary maid, she would have acted on her own before the master said anything, and she would definitely be punished.

After Wen Shichu arrived, he first felt Zhen Huan's pulse and found no signs of pregnancy. Then, based on the recent symptoms Zhen Huan described, he found out that she was actually poisoned. If this kind of poison is taken over a long period of time, the person will only become drowsy at first, and later become unconscious and like a person with dementia.

So An Lingrong helped Zhen Huan check all the people around her and found out that the maid Hua Sui was originally someone close to Yu, and Jin Xi found an inconspicuous little hole in the corner of Sui Yuxuan. However, An Lingrong was not clear about the details at that time.

So the two of them discussed it and decided to let Xiao Yunzi and Jinxi watch the whole process tomorrow to see how the poison was administered.

The next day, when An Lingrong came, the medicine was ready. Zhen Huan asked An Lingrong to sit down and drink some tea, then she took a sip of the medicine. Then everyone looked at Zhen Huan nervously. Zhen Huan tasted the medicine and spit it back, saying, "It's still the drug."

Everyone was confused as to how the drug was put in. At this moment, Zhen Huan suddenly asked, "What are you looking at?"

At this time, everyone found that Xiao Yunzi was holding the medicine jar and looking at it. "I think, if someone didn't personally put the medicine in, then they could only do something to these guys."

"Bring it here, let me take a look." When Zhen Huan heard what Xiao Yunzi said, she thought it made sense, so she reached out to take the medicine jar. Then An Lingrong and Zhen Huan checked the medicine jar together.

"Sister, look, the color of the medicine jar lid is darker than the color of the jar body." An Lingrong said after handing the lid to Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan took the lid and everyone came closer, and found that the color of the medicine jar lid was indeed darker.

Jin Xi thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the lid of the medicine jar has been placed in the water with the medicine for a long time, and the lid has absorbed the water and the medicine, so the color has become darker. Once the young master's medicine boils, it will touch the lid, and the medicine in the lid will be mixed into the young master's medicine without anyone noticing."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan sneered: "What a sophisticated technique! No wonder we couldn't find out the truth no matter how hard we tried."

Then he arranged: "Xiao Yunzi, pour the medicine and bring Hua Sui, the loyal servant, over here. I have something to ask her."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Then he went out with the medicine jar.
