An Lingrong looked ahead again, and said to Noble Lady Fucha with an embarrassed expression, "Sister Fucha, Lingrong thought that we are all in the palace after all, and wanted to invite Noble Lady Shen and Noble Lady Wan to travel together, but she was worried about her low status, so she didn't dare to speak rashly."

Noble Lady Fucha changed her mind and decided that it was better to be friendly and make more good friends when entering the palace. She gave an order to Sang'er, who quickly stepped forward and asked the two to stay.

Noble Lady Fucha and An Lingrong came forward to explain their purpose. Zhen Huan smiled and said, "The red maple leaves are as blue as the sky. I have heard that the maple leaves in the imperial garden are as red as half the sky. They are particularly contrasted with the blue sky in autumn. It is a beautiful thing for us to enjoy the autumn together."

The four of them immediately set off together.

An Lingrong calculated the time in her mind and deliberately slowed down her pace. The other three thought that she was weak and couldn't walk fast, so they also slowed down their pace. They enjoyed the flowers and scenery along the way, chatting and laughing. It was very lively and harmonious.

Under An Lingrong's deliberate guidance, the four of them came to the place where they had run into the young eunuch. Zhen Huan looked at the scenery in front of her and praised: "This place is quiet and peaceful, it is really a rare and good place."

Just as Noble Lady Fucha was about to say a few words in agreement, a palace maid came out tumbling and crawling from the path in front. She was horrified to see that the four people did not even bother to greet each other and just kept walking forward. Soon after, a young eunuch followed with the same attitude. Zhen Huan reached out to hold him back, but the young eunuch was frightened: "My lady, in front, in the well in front..." As it was taboo, the young eunuch dared not say anything more.

Seeing that the young eunuch dared not speak, Zhen Huan wanted to go over and take a look. An Lingrong held her back and said, "Wan Changzai, it's good to be brave with more people. Why don't I go with you?"

Seeing this, Noble Lady Fucha immediately said, "Since we are visiting the garden together, if there is something filthy ahead, we can be witnesses together."

Hearing her say this, Shen Meizhuang expressed her agreement, and the four of them immediately went there with their maids. When they arrived at the well, they signaled to each other with their eyes and looked into the well together to check.

Several screams rang out at the same time. Even though An Lingrong was mentally prepared, she was still frightened by Fuzi in the water and her face changed drastically.

She hurriedly touched her heart with her hand and quickly observed everyone's expressions.

Shen Meizhuang was horrified but still took care of Zhen Huan who was frightened and pale.

Noble Lady Fucha first took a few steps back in panic, then took a few deep breaths to calm her panic, and immediately turned around and told Sang'er: "Don't alarm others, report to the queen immediately."

How could such a calm and responsive person be frightened to death? It seems that in the previous life, when Noble Lady Fucha went crazy, Zhen Huan was just the driving force behind it, and there was another mastermind behind it.

Seeing that the three were still afraid, Noble Lady Fucha hurriedly said, "Sisters, why don't we go back to the palace first? The Empress will handle the affairs here."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang agreed immediately and returned to the palace.

Inside the Yiku Palace, the Huanyi incense exuded a strong and rich aroma. Concubine Hua was sitting in the main seat, with Concubine Li and Concubine Cao on either side.

"What do you think of these people today?" Concubine Hua asked the two casually while playing with the armor on her hand.

Lipin answered first: "Xia Dongchun has only good looks, but he is actually a straw bag and is not worth mentioning."

Hua Fei rolled her eyes impatiently and said to her, "Then why are you still mentioning her?"

Concubine Cao spoke calmly, "My lady, in my opinion, Zhen Huan is beautiful, intelligent, and scheming, so we must guard against her. Concubine Shen is proud, so we can easily deal with her if we find the right opportunity. Concubine Fucha has both good family background and good looks, so we should not underestimate her. As for An Da Ying, although her background is not good, she is easy to control."

Concubine Hua gritted her teeth and said, "They are all troublesome bitches. I have my own ways to deal with them. An Lingrong looks so timid and petty. How can she be won over by me? Tell the Imperial Household to keep a close eye on her. I want to see who will compete with me for the Emperor."

The two of them agreed immediately.

In the Yanxi Palace, the Queen heard that the two were frightened and hurriedly sent Imperial Physician Zhou to treat them.

Fortunately, the two of them were just frightened and had palpitations, so they just needed to be prescribed some calming medicine.

When Doctor Zhou was about to leave, Xia Dongchun rushed in and said, "Sister, my sister has been poisoned. Please ask the doctor to treat her properly."

Noble Lady Fucha was shocked. Why were there so many things going on today? If Xia Dongchun was really in trouble, she, as the highest-ranking person in Yanxi Palace, would be to blame. She immediately asked Doctor Zhou to take a good look.

Doctor Zhou did not dare to neglect him and immediately asked Xia Dongchun if she felt unwell: "Master Changzai, what are the symptoms of poisoning?"

Xia Dongchun: "I was fine when I woke up this morning. When I was paying my respects in Jingren Palace, I suddenly started yawning. I thought I was going to sleep, but when I returned to Yanxi Palace, I was fine again. I'm never like this normally. I must have been poisoned."

Noble Lady Fucha wanted to go up and shut Xia Dongchun's mouth. If her words got to the ears of the Queen, it would cause another storm.

An Lingrong held her forehead with her hand. Xia Dongchun was not stupid enough to think that she was poisoned. It was just that she had calculated the time when she put the powder in. Even gods would not be able to detect it after the time had passed.

Doctor Zhou was stunned for a moment after hearing what Xia Dongchun said. He carefully looked at Xia Dongchun's complexion and found nothing unusual. To be on the safe side, he carefully checked her pulse and found nothing wrong. He coaxed Xia Dongchun and said, "The air is strong in autumn, which can easily lead to spleen deficiency. A spleen deficiency makes it difficult to calm down. The young lady is probably suffering from autumn fatigue. She just needs to go to bed early at night."

Seeing that no one believed her, Xia Dongchun felt wronged and pointed at Doctor Zhou and said, "You quack, it's obvious that your medical skills are not good enough, but you are just trying to put me off. Are you thinking that I'm easy to bully?"

Doctor Zhou, who was over fifty years old, was called a "quack" by a concubine for the first time in his many years of serving in the palace. His face turned pale with anger, and he said tremblingly: "Mrs. Xia's request is really too much. I always treat illnesses, but I have never seen a person without an illness seeking medical help. My medical skills are mediocre and I cannot serve you. In the future, please seek help from another doctor." After saying that, he lifted his clothes and strode away.

Noble Lady Fucha and An Lingrong looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Living in the same palace, all they could do was to ask Xia Dongchun to go out less and embarrass herself in the future.

As soon as Xia Dongchun made a fuss, the two of them quickly walked out of Fu Zi's shadow. Soon the medicine was brought. An Lingrong glanced at Rendong, and Rendong went down to boil the medicine.

Half an hour later, Honeysuckle brought the medicine.
