If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Chapter 241 Shunpin Gives Birth to a Daughter

Black plum and hawthorn cake was the first gift that Zhen Huan gave to Concubine Hua after returning to the palace. I believe that the drama in the future will be even more exciting.

Lingrong couldn't help but sigh that Zhen Huan was indeed Zhen Huan. Although she was young now, her methods had already begun to show results. She must be more than enough to deal with Concubine Hua, but Lingrong didn't want Concubine Hua to be defeated so quickly. If she was killed so easily by Zhen Huan, then Zhen Huan would probably want to kill herself next. Thinking of this, Lingrong wanted to make things difficult for Zhen Huan.

The Qixiang Palace acted quickly. Su Peisheng quickly brought the little palace maid mentioned by Hepin and other people involved to the Yanxi Palace.

"Your Majesty, the maid admitted that she was the one who served the black plum cake to Concubine He, but she didn't know what kind of hawthorn was in the black plum cake." Su Peisheng replied softly. He guessed that this was the case. The maid who served the cakes definitely didn't know that there was something wrong with the cakes, otherwise how could she dare to serve it to Concubine He? She was the first one to be investigated when Concubine He got into trouble.

"There are so many pastries in the imperial kitchen, why did you serve black plum cake?" The queen saw that the emperor closed his eyes and thought and had no intention of asking, so she could only speak up and be the bad guy.

"To answer your Majesty, the meals you had that day were all greasy and meaty, and you didn't eat much, so when I went to the imperial kitchen, the only cake inside was the black plum cake, which was sweet and sour and appetizing, so I took the black plum cake back." The little maid replied tremblingly. She was really frightened by Su Peisheng's posture of rushing into Qixiang Palace to take people away. At that moment, she thought she was going to die.

"It's been more than a month since this happened, how come you still remember it?" Concubine Duan said puzzledly.

"If my young lady had not given birth, I would have almost forgotten about it. But because my young lady gave birth suddenly, everyone in Qixiang Palace was interrogated. I remembered this matter, but I didn't ask at that time." This was the truth. If something huge had not happened, she would not have remembered such a small matter as whether there were pastries or not.

The investigation was at a standstill for the time being. The maid who was directly involved was a scapegoat, and was planned by the people behind the scenes. The next step in the investigation would be to strictly investigate the people in the imperial kitchen.

"Su Peisheng, go and check who wants to harm the real prince." The emperor, who had not spoken for a long time, said in a low voice. Although his tone was calm, one could still hear the storm.

"Yes." This job was not easy to accept, but he had to accept it. Whether he could find out something depended on his ability.

There was still a stalemate in front, but unexpectedly, good news came from the back. A midwife holding a baby ran out from the inner room, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little princess."

When the emperor heard that the child was safe, his expression was obviously relieved, but he did not reach out to take it or look at it. He glanced at Su Peisheng.

Eunuch Su understood the emperor's meaning immediately. Although the princess gave birth safely, it was not a full-term birth after all. The emperor was worried that there was something wrong with the princess. He pointed at the princess and called the imperial physician to examine her.

Upon receiving Eunuch Su's signal, the imperial physician immediately stepped forward to examine the princess carefully, and finally took her pulse. He then reported, "Your Majesty, the princess is in good health, but she was born prematurely after all, so her health is weaker than that of a full-term baby. She will recover if she takes good care of herself."

After hearing the words of the imperial physician, the emperor was satisfied. He waved to the nanny holding the princess to come forward. The queen also came over to look at the little princess. "Your Majesty, the princess looks a lot like you. Look at her features."

"Well, it's good to look like me. The skin should be like Shunpin's, fair and clean." The emperor looked at the little princess with great joy. After hearing that the princess was in good health, everyone came forward to congratulate the emperor on the birth of his daughter.

The tense atmosphere caused by the questioning could not help but relax, but it was only a few minutes later that someone in the inner room shouted, "Madam, Madam."

"Oh no, Shunpin is bleeding heavily!!!"
