An Ling waited a long time before entering the hall, and after entering, he saluted the emperor.

Liu Zhu was about to bow to An Lingrong, but the emperor stopped her: "You are heavy, don't be so polite."

An Lingrong knelt there without being called by the emperor.

The emperor turned around, the gentle look on his face gone.

The emperor asked, "Why did you harm Concubine Wan, and why did you harm Concubine Shun?"

An Lingrong looked up and saw the emperor's displeased face, then looked at Liu Zhu and slowly said, "I don't have any."

The emperor directly picked up the scar-removing glue on the table and threw it at An Lingrong.

An Lingrong did not hide. She took the scar-removing glue, lowered her head and said nothing.

When the emperor saw An Lingrong remained silent, his rage grew even greater.

Liu Zhu spoke at the right time: "Madam An, I have never offended you. You have no reason to harm me. Are you being instructed by someone?"

An Lingrong raised her head after hearing this, looked at Liu Zhu and said, "How come you didn't offend me? It took me several years to get the rank of concubine after entering the palace, but you only served as a concubine for a year and you got the title of noble lady."

Liu Zhu seemed puzzled and asked: "Now that you are a concubine, is the title so important?"

An Lingrong replied, "Everyone in the palace has a title, but I don't have one because of my low family background. You are just a maid, and you are superior to me."

The emperor said coldly: "You are of humble origin, I favor you and give you the position of concubine, but you are still not satisfied. I saw you were on good terms with Wanpin before, but you harmed Wanpin. Shun Guiren's title was given by me, why didn't you tell me that you were jealous, but instead you harmed her child."

Liu Zhu knew that An Lingrong wanted to take the blame for the Queen, so she made up such an excuse.

Wei Lin came back after boiling the medicine. He put it down and frowned again: "Your Majesty, I need to check the screen. Please allow me to do so."

The emperor waved his hand to signal Wei Lin to go and look, and Wei Lin walked a few steps to the screen.

After sniffing a few times, Wei Lin stood still and thought for a moment before returning to report: "Your Majesty, this screen is filled with a lot of incense sticks. The fragrance is very light and can be called odorless. Pregnant women should not touch it. Over time, the fetus will gradually..."

After a pause, Wei Lin finished his words: "The fetus will gradually stop developing, and the baby born after full term will be stillborn."

After hearing this, the emperor stood up and kicked An Lingrong: "You again!?"

An Lingrong was kicked in pain, and she cried out in tears, "It was not done by me."

The emperor smiled coldly: "Su Peisheng, go check."

Then, the emperor issued another decree: "An plotted to murder the heir to the throne and refused to repent. He is demoted to a commoner and sentenced to death."

An Lingrong was stunned for a few breaths, and then cried for a few times and said: "Why do you want to sentence me to death for the slightest mistake? Hua Fei and her friends have harmed so many people, but they were only banished to the cold palace. If it wasn't for Zhen Huan forcing Hua Fei to death, Your Majesty, you wouldn't let her die, right?"

The emperor looked at An Lingrong, and An Lingrong continued, "Because of my low family background, I have no title even though I have become a concubine, so if something goes wrong I will be sentenced to death, right?"

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "You were gentle and affectionate in the past, and I liked you. You shouldn't have harmed Concubine Wan's child, and you shouldn't have harmed Concubine Shun's child."

An Lingrong laughed: "Like? You threw an apple as a reward after I sang a song and treated me like a singing girl. Do you like me?"

The emperor was displeased and said, "Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor."

An Lingrong laughed non-stop, and finally said only one sentence: "I only hope that I can be born into a wealthy family in my next life."
