Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

034 Ling Rong's Promotion

Soon, Doctor Xu hurried over. His brows were furrowed and he looked extremely serious, which made Zhen Huan feel worried.

Although she had taken the medicine, Zhen Huan was still worried about what to do if she was not pregnant.

However, looking at An Lingrong, there was no trace of anxiety on her face, which made Zhen Huan feel a little more at ease.

Seeing this, Yixiu couldn't help but ask with concern: "Doctor Xu, how is An's pregnancy? Is there any risk of disturbing the fetus?"

Doctor Xu bowed respectfully with both hands and replied, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, An's pregnancy is indeed more than a month old. She just got a little frightened and needs to rest and recuperate."

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Hua could not help but exclaim in surprise. The sound was so loud that everyone turned to look at her. For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace became tense.

Hua Fei realized her mistake and quickly explained: "I was excited for a moment and lost my sense of proportion. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Yinzhen glanced at her indifferently and said nothing, but he had already made some judgment in his mind.

Hua Fei still seemed worried. She looked at Cao Qinmo again, her eyes full of doubts, and asked again: "Is that really the case? Doctor Xu wouldn't have made a wrong diagnosis, would he?"

Doctor Xu replied respectfully, "Madam Hua, although I dare not claim to be an expert in gynecology, I do have some medical skills. Mrs. An is indeed pregnant for more than a month."

Although Yinzhen was somewhat dissatisfied with Hua Fei's questioning at the moment, considering Nian Gengyao's power, he couldn't get angry, so he changed the subject and asked, "Where is Fuling? Where is she?"

"Your Majesty, Fuling is waiting outside the palace to be summoned." Su Peisheng answered respectfully, and then added: "In addition, I just went to the Imperial Medical Office to check and found that the residence of Imperial Doctor Liu Bin was empty and no one was there."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's face darkened and he said sternly, "What a 'empty house'! Find him for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Peisheng replied, then turned and left to carry out the emperor's order.

"What happened today has frightened you quite a bit. I will do my best to investigate this matter thoroughly, reveal the truth to you, and give you a clear response." Yinzhen said to An Lingrong in a gentle tone.

"In addition, the Queen has informed the six palaces that I have decided to promote An Da Ying to the rank of Changzai," Yinzhen said.

"I understand your order and I know it well." Yixiu responded respectfully.

After Yinzhen said a few more words of comfort to An Lingrong, he turned around and returned to the Qinzheng Hall.

The other concubines returned to their own bedrooms, but Zhen Huan stayed and stayed with An Lingrong.

-

"Lingrong, that scene just now really frightened me." Zhen Huan said softly.

"Sister, don't worry. Wei Lin took my pulse this morning and told me that I am pregnant. It's just that I was worried about what others might say, so I didn't tell you in time and made you worry about me." An Lingrong explained with a gentle smile on her face.

"I really have to thank Imperial Doctor Wei for his superb medical skills." Zhen Huan said gratefully.

"As long as we two sisters work together, we don't have to be afraid no matter what difficulties we encounter." An Lingrong said firmly, her words were full of trust and reliance on Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan nodded slightly in response to An Lingrong's words, and their eyes met, revealing a deep sisterly friendship.

(Qingliang Hall)

The atmosphere in Qingliang Palace was suffocatingly depressing at this moment. Nian Shilan sat upright on the couch, his eyes piercing at Cao Qinmo who was kneeling on the ground.

Cao Qinmo's hair was disheveled, revealing her fear and anxiety at the moment. Songzhi was like a frightened bird, not daring to breathe.

There was a flash of dissatisfaction in Hua Fei's eyes. She said coldly: "Speak, why are you all mute?"

Cao Qinmo responded with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I don't understand why this happened. When Liu Bin went to check An Da Ying's pulse yesterday, he clearly found that she was not pregnant... But today..." Her voice gradually became weaker, and she seemed unable to fully express the doubts in her heart.

Concubine Hua snorted coldly and interrupted her: "Are you saying that An Lingrong can perform magic tricks? Can she create a child out of thin air?" Her tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Cao Qinmo quickly shook her head: "That's not what I meant, Your Majesty, please understand."

"Then what do you mean? You are a person who can't do anything good but always makes things difficult!" Hua Fei scolded angrily.

Cao Qinmo kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong."

However, Concubine Hua's anger did not subside. She became more and more excited as she spoke: "Fuling is suffering in the torture chamber now, and Liu Bin's whereabouts are unknown. If the Emperor finds out about this, what should I do?" As she spoke, she grabbed a teacup and smashed it to the ground.

The teacup fragments flew everywhere and landed right beside Cao Qinmo's legs. She couldn't help but shudder and knelt there more carefully, not daring to move at all.

"Your Majesty, although Fuling is afraid of death, she hopes to protect her family more. Liu Bin understands that this is a serious crime that will implicate the entire clan, so he naturally dares not show up easily." Cao Qinmo analyzed cautiously.

Hua Fei nodded slightly, her eyes sharp: "You mean..."

"Fuling's family is under our control, so she wouldn't dare to act rashly. As for Liu Bin, although his family is thousands of miles away, we still have ways to control them." Cao Qinmo continued to explain.

Concubine Hua nodded, her tone revealing a ruthless determination: "It seems that this is the only way. I once promised Fuling that if she succeeded in this matter, I would keep her family safe. I hope she will not disappoint me."

Cao Qinmo immediately agreed: "Your Majesty is wise."

However, Concubine Hua's frown did not relax, but instead became even tighter: "Songzhi, pass the order down, and make sure to find Liu Bin as soon as possible and kill him to eliminate future troubles."

Songzhi responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then she quickly retreated to carry out Concubine Hua's order.

Hua Fei's mood was obviously relieved by this. She glanced at Cao Qinmo who was still kneeling on the ground, and a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Look at you, your hair is messy, and you are still here talking to me. Hurry up, Lingzhi, why don't you help Concubine Cao up."

"Yes, your majesty." Lingzhi responded and immediately stepped forward to support Cao Qinmo.

Hua Fei then ordered: "Help Concubine Cao to the inner room and let her dress up properly."

Cao Qinmo was grateful and said quickly, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Then, with Lingzhi's support, Cao Qinmo slowly stood up and walked towards the inner room.

-

A moment later, Cao Qinmo walked out of the inner room, having regained her usual elegance.

Hua Fei looked at her and asked with a smile: "Why haven't I seen you bring Wen Yi to play with her recently? Is it because she only plays with the emperor and doesn't like to come to me?"

Cao Qinmo replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Wen Yi has been feeling unwell recently. In addition, the sun has been scorching recently, so I was afraid that she would get overheated. That's why I didn't bring her out. I miss her very much, and I hope she can recover soon."

"Wen Yi is sick? What should we do?" Although Concubine Hua showed concern on her face, her eyes seemed to have another deeper meaning.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The imperial physician has already seen him, and Wen Yi is much better now." Cao Qinmo answered cautiously.

After hearing this, Concubine Hua smiled slightly and continued, "Since Wen Yi is ill, it may not be convenient for you to take care of her. Why don't you bring her to me and let me help take care of her for a while."

Cao Qinmo heard this and immediately felt alarmed. She quickly refused: "Your Majesty, Wen Yi is still young. I am afraid that her crying will disturb your rest. Besides, I can take good care of her myself, so please don't bother your Majesty."

After hearing what Cao Qinmo said, Concubine Hua's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and she said coldly: "Why? Are you still afraid that I will harm Wen Yi?"

Cao Qinmo quickly shook her head: "No, your majesty. I'm just worried that Wen Yi will make a noise and disturb you."

"Noble Lady Cao, tomorrow the palace will send Songzhi to pick up Wen Yi from your place. You should make preparations in advance." Concubine Hua's tone left no room for doubt.

Cao Qinmo was startled. She wanted to refute but didn't dare to. She could only whisper: "My queen, this..."

Hua Fei interrupted her, her eyes sharp: "Okay, you don't need to say more, Wen Yi will be left here with me, you can also concentrate on serving me and find a way to get rid of that bitch Zhen Huan."

Cao Qinmo knew that she could not change Concubine Hua's decision at this moment, so she could only bow her head and agree: "I obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hua nodded with satisfaction and a smug smile appeared on her face.

She knew that with Wen Yi in her hands, Cao Qinmo would serve her even more wholeheartedly.

But she didn't know that by doing so, she would lose a subordinate who worked hard for her.
