Lingrong begged in her heart countless times, but Concubine Tian finally came with Sang'er.

However, Concubine Jing used the excuse of feeling unwell to continue to stay with the Seventh Prince in Xianfu Palace to rest.

Concubine Tian sat below Lingrong. She saw the worry in Lingrong's eyes, but nodded to her calmly.

Could it be that Concubine Tian has already thought of a way to fight back? Ling Rong murmured in her heart, but considering that the Empress was still there, she did not ask immediately.

The banquet went on smoothly. The emperor was particularly happy to see that Concubine Tian was not affected at all.

He praised Lingrong repeatedly and gave her his favorite blue transparent glass octagonal bottle.

That octagonal bottle was completely different from the one placed in the hall today. Its light blue color was like a streak across the sky, light and agile, truly extremely beautiful.

"The emperor treasures the octagonal bottle very much. Concubine Sheng is very lucky today."

"Your Majesty has so many treasures. I have set my eyes on many of them, but Your Majesty is reluctant to give them to me."

Lingrong also followed the Queen's instructions and made some joking remarks. The Emperor was not displeased, but instead joined in the laughter.

It didn't take the Queen long to speak and then sit quietly by the side drinking tea. But she still kept smiling and watched Lingrong and the Emperor bantering back and forth.

In the end, the emperor gave Lingrong a lot of calligraphy and paintings and antiques. One of them was painted by the emperor himself for Lingrong, and later it was placed in the main hall of Chengqian Palace, but that's a story for later.

Now, the banquet was almost over, and when the group went out, the sky had been dyed a gorgeous orange-red.

A new flower stand was built by the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Imperial Garden. From a distance, it looks like a graceful veil, with vines hanging down and colorful paper umbrellas fluttering in the wind. It is a unique and beautiful sight.

"I admire the sweet osmanthus for its graceful late appearance, and I recognize the wisteria for its continued spring beauty." The emperor stopped first, causing everyone else to stop as well, and then turned to walk towards the wisteria trellis.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or if the birds were doing it on purpose, but when they saw someone approaching, they started singing in a panic - it was called a song, but in fact it was just clear chirping.

"In this situation, I think of a poem," Concubine Tian stepped forward and stood beside the emperor, "Wisteria hangs on the cloud tree, and the flowers and vines are suitable for spring. The dense leaves hide the singing birds, and the fragrant wind keeps the beauty."

Seeing this scene, Lingrong took two steps back, leaving this beautiful scene to the emperor, empress and Concubine Tian.

But she didn't go too far away. Instead, she retreated to Xia Dongchun's side, and the two discussed the vine trellis together.

"Does Lady Xia know what it was built for? As far as I can remember, it wasn't there this morning."

"You've been very busy these days, so how could you have noticed it?" Xia Dongchun stretched his neck to look at the emperor, and seeing Concubine Xin also approaching, he gritted his teeth and said, "It has been repaired a long time ago, but it was only completed today.

It is said that after a few days when the wisteria flowers wither, they will be replaced with new flowers. "

Ling Rong's eyes followed and moved upwards. The branches of the vines were stacked up on the flower rack, with purple flowers hanging among them. From a distance, it looked like a purple cloud, making it difficult to see clearly.

"It's really beautiful." Ling Rong murmured to herself, staring at the flower stand in a trance. Soon she saw Concubine Tian walking under the flower stand.

"Princess Tian cannot come into contact with pollen, so why did she go under the flower stand?"

Ling Rong suddenly felt something was wrong. She pulled Xia Dongchun and tried to move forward. She saw countless flowers falling from Concubine Tian's head. The beauty of the flowers was extremely fatal to Concubine Tian.

Seeing the flowers falling, Concubine Tian became panicked, but she was pregnant and did not dare to run desperately. She could only hold her belly and walk out of the flower stand as quickly as possible.

The Emperor, who was closest to Concubine Tian, ​​was about to run over to rescue her when he saw all the flowers falling down. A large number of flowers fell and Concubine Tian was unable to stand at all. Her body tilted slightly and she was knocked to the ground. She was instantly buried by the flowers and she didn't even have time to scream.

It only took a moment for the flowers to fall and stop. At the moment they hit the ground, pollen mixed with dust fluttered in the air like flying ashes after a fire, shocking everyone so much that they couldn't react for a long time.

"Eunuch Su, save them!"

Lingrong had been paying attention to Concubine Tian. She had already rushed to the front and called out to Su Peisheng and others to save Concubine Tian.

Because of this shout, everyone immediately became confused. Xiao Xiazi was the fastest and ran under the flower stand. He found the approximate position of Concubine Tian and tried to push away the flowers.

"Xiao Chizi, go find the imperial physician!" Ling Rong's arm was tightly grasped by Xia Dongchun, and she couldn't break free for a while. After the two of them retreated to the edge of the crowd, Ling Rong ordered Xiao Chizi to go to the Imperial Hospital as soon as possible.

Xiao Chizi was quite worried, but when he saw Concubine Xia and Zhaoshui flanking his master on the left and right, he felt relieved and left, and went with Xiao Xiazi and others to rescue Concubine Tian.

But Concubine Tian was buried under a hill of flowers. Although Xiao Xiazi and others roughly knew her location, they were worried about stepping on poor Concubine Tian. For a moment, they had to slow down and start cleaning from the outside little by little.

Seeing how slowly everyone was moving, the Emperor and the Empress began to urge more people to go up and help. Suddenly, the servants and eunuchs of all the concubines came up and the scene became extremely chaotic.

Lingrong was worried that the same incident as Zhen Huan being pushed in her previous life would happen to her, so she kept moving closer to the edge, trying to avoid the crowd.

However, Lingrong didn't know what she stepped on, and her feet suddenly slipped, and then her body fell backwards sharply.

If Zhaoshui and Xia Dongchun had not let go, Lingrong would have fallen to the ground on the spot.

Xia Dongchun cursed something under his breath, and the next moment he followed Zhao Shui's movements and placed his arms directly under Ling Rong's armpits.

Ling Rong was not tall to begin with, and her feet were almost lifted off the ground by the two men. "Slow down, slow down, are you two planning to carry me away like a pole?"

Hearing Ling Rong's words, the two men lowered their arms at the same time, but continued to take off and pull Ling Rong away from the chaotic crowd.

"I seemed to have stepped on something, but I couldn't see clearly."

Upon hearing this, Zhaoshui looked towards the place where he had just stood. It was now filled up and he couldn't see what it was at all.

It’s just that the master just stepped on it... Zhaoshui immediately helped Lingrong sit down, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the soles of Lingrong’s shoes a few times.

Seeing some sticky marks, Zhaoshui folded the handkerchief and put it away.

"Someone must have poured something like hair oil. I have collected some of it and will give it to the doctors later to see what it is."

Ling Rong hummed, but her eyes were observing the surging crowd, but except for herself, no one showed any signs of slipping.

"Did you see who's standing behind me?"

"I and Lady Xia confirmed that there was no one behind Her Majesty before we led Her Majesty back. I'm afraid someone had expected Her Majesty to walk out of the crowd and had already poured out those things."

Zhaoshui recalled the scene at that time and soon determined that it was not done by the people in front of him, "I'm afraid the person who did it was not the people in front of us."

Lingrong also nodded. She looked up at Xia Dongchun who was still holding her tightly. Xia Dongchun's eyes were fixed on the flower stand, and she was obviously worried about Concubine Tian.

Lingrong was equally worried, but she couldn't get up at this moment and could only occasionally catch a glimpse from the crowd.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lingrong still didn't hear the good news that Concubine Tian was rescued. Instead, Xiao Chizi and He An came over.

"Your Highness, the imperial physician is here." Xiao Chizi and He Anming had obviously run all the way here, both of them were panting and sweating. "The other imperial physicians are a little slower, but all who can come have arrived."

"Okay, go to the flower stand quickly and check Concubine Tian's pulse as soon as she is rescued."

He Anming hummed, but did not leave immediately. He stretched out his hand and wanted to feel Ling Rong's pulse first.

At the same time, someone from the flower stand shouted that Concubine Tian had been found, which made He Anming pause for a moment.

"Go to Concubine Tian quickly. Xiao Chizi, bring Doctor He over."

Ling Rong urged the two of them hurriedly. Xiao Chizi immediately let out a cry, grabbed Doctor He's hand and rushed towards the crowd, shouting that the doctor was coming while quickening his pace.

Upon hearing that the imperial physician was coming, the crowd immediately made way for him, and He Anming and Xiao Chizi walked smoothly in front of Concubine Tian.

Before he could even catch his breath, He Anming immediately called Sang'er to clean the pollen off Concubine Tian's face and body, while he himself took Concubine Tian's pulse.

As expected, Concubine Tian's pulse was extremely weak and her face was red and swollen due to hay fever.

He Anming sighed. This was the result of taking the medicine in advance. If he hadn't prepared in advance, with such a large amount of pollen and such a long time of suffocation, I'm afraid that Concubine Tian would have died today.

"It's been cleaned up for now Doctor He."

"Take Concubine Tian away immediately. There is too much pollen here. It will be more dangerous if we continue to stay here."

At this time, the imperial physician was treating patients and saving lives, so what he said was of great importance. Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately ordered someone to send Concubine Tian to Chuxiu Palace nearby.

The Emperor, He Anming and others followed him, while the Empress stayed where she was and asked people to deal with the scene.

Although Lingrong was worried about Concubine Tian, ​​she did not immediately follow her to Chuxiu Palace. Instead, she sat where she was, holding her stomach with her hands and crying out in pain - of course she was not having a miscarriage, but she had to pretend, otherwise she didn't know what other tricks the Queen had waiting for her.

Therefore, the moment Ling Rong saw Wei Lin arriving, she started shouting.

"What's wrong with Concubine Sheng?" When the Queen heard Lingrong's cry, she came over with Jianqiu.

"My queen! My queen stepped on something and almost fell down.

Although I and Lady Xia supported her, my lady still felt uncomfortable in her stomach and was afraid that she had a miscarriage."

Zhaoshui immediately sobbed and grabbed Wei Lin who was passing by, "Doctor Wei, please take the young lady's pulse and take a look at the situation!"

Wei Lin had just arrived at the Imperial Garden, so he naturally didn't know that Ling Rong was pretending. He didn't even bother to pay his respects to the Queen, and immediately came over to feel Ling Rong's pulse.

However, the pulse was stable, with no signs of miscarriage. But Wei Lin saw the master and servant of Ling Rong and understood the reason.

Therefore, he immediately panicked and reported to the Empress Dowager that Concubine Sheng's pulse was unstable and she might have bleeding. She needed to take medicine immediately to protect the royal heir.

The Queen looked at Ling Rong's rosy face and nodded doubtfully, "Jian Qiu, follow Doctor Wei and take good care of Concubine Sheng. If you need anything, come and let me know immediately.

Don't worry, Princess Sheng. Imperial Doctor Wei is an excellent doctor and will definitely be able to save the baby in your belly.

I am worried that there is something wrong with the flower stand, so I will go over and check it out."

Ling Nun endured the abdominal pain and reluctantly said, "I understand."

Since Jianqiu was still there, Lingrong had no choice but to continue pretending, and from time to time she would make unbearable hissing sounds, as if she really had an upset stomach.

There was no clue in Lingrong's behavior, so Jianqiu turned his attention to Concubine Xia who was standing nearby.

It’s a pity that Xia Dongchun just stood there blankly, his eyes still looking in the direction of the flower stand.

Could it be that Lady Xia saw something? Jianqiu was puzzled, so she called out to Xia Dongchun, "Lady Xia, Lady Xia, are you okay? Are you scared?"

After being called out by Jianqiu, Xia Dongchun finally came to her senses. She shook her head and saw Lingrong crying beside her.

"An... Concubine Sheng, what's wrong with you? Didn't Zhaoshui and I just support you? Why are you still..."

Xia Dongchun probably really thought that Ling Rong was having a miscarriage, and her every word and action were filled with anxiety.

Lingrong grabbed her with trembling hands, and because she didn't want to make a sound and show her fear, she shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Wei Lin, how is Concubine Sheng now?"

Seeing that Concubine Xia asked again, Wei Lin had to repeat what he had just said.

He took out a bottle of pills from the medicine box, gave it to Zhaoshui and asked her to feed it to Lingrong.

As soon as Zhao Shui opened the bottle, he knew that it was a throat-soothing licorice pill, so he fed it to Ling Rong with confidence and asked her to hold it in her mouth.

"My lady, once the pain in your abdomen has eased a little, I will have someone send you back to Chengqian Palace.

This medicine is generally effective in preserving pregnancy, and you will need to take oral preserving medicine to be safe and sound. "

Ling Rong nodded and took a deep breath. After about an incense stick of time had passed, her painful expression subsided slightly.

Xia Dongchun had been paying attention to Ling Rong's movements. Seeing that Ling Rong didn't seem to be in so much pain, he asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's better now, but I don't know how Concubine Tian is doing."

Xia Dongchun hummed, and turned to look in the direction of the flower stand again, "Take care of yourself first, I'll go over to see Concubine Tian later, and tell you in Chengqian Palace later."

The two were chatting casually when the sedan chair to pick up Ling Rong arrived.

Zhaoshui helped Lingrong get into the sedan chair, while Jianqiu stopped Wei Lin and asked him something.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Rong beckoned Xia Dongchun to come over and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Go check on Concubine Tian. The sea of ​​flowers is overflowing. I'm afraid she and the heir are in danger.

Go over and take a look, and tell me what happened. I will take the opportunity to go back to the palace and send someone to investigate who did this today."
