An Lingrong was going to pay her respects to the Queen, and Xiao Xiazi found this quite incomprehensible.

But this was An Lingrong's request, and it was reasonable, so it was naturally not something that a small eunuch like him could interfere with.

"Master An, you have to be steady!"

Seeing An Lingrong getting into the carriage, Xiao Xiazi still felt uneasy, so he repeatedly instructed the two eunuchs in charge of driving the car, asking them to make sure An Lingrong was sent to Jingren Palace safely.

Of course, if he didn’t have to be on duty in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Xiao Xiazi would definitely have sent it over personally.

"Thank you very much!"

An Lingrong could feel Xiao Xiazi's kindness. Even though she knew that he did this just to curry favor with her who was pregnant, she still accepted his kindness.

……

The distance from the Yangxin Palace to the Jingren Palace was neither far nor near, and An Lingrong got up early, so with the help of the carriage, she arrived at the Jingren Palace on time.

"Sister An?"

Concubine Jing had just arrived at this moment, and saw a carriage slowly approaching. She looked closely and found that it was An Lingrong. She was stunned.

An Lingrong got off the carriage, but was supported by a young eunuch and appeared at the gate of Jingren Palace.

Jingpin, who was the first to notice her arrival, hurried over to check on her, and then said in surprise, "Sister, you have been in the Yangxin Palace all night!"

It was no wonder that Jingpin was so surprised. After all, according to the palace rules, ordinary concubines would be sent to the Yangxin Palace to serve the emperor after being picked by the emperor.

After that, they will be sent back to their own palaces along the same route.

Only some people who were very much favored by the emperor would enjoy the treatment of staying overnight in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Jingpin herself had not been called by Yongzheng for a long time, let alone staying in the Yangxin Palace.

"Um……"

An Lingrong could feel that what Jingpin said revealed only pure curiosity and no malice. However, after she finished speaking, An Lingrong found that many people around her were looking at her in a strange way.

Those looks were like poison, leaving An Lingrong speechless.

"younger sister."

At this moment, Zhen Huan also walked towards where they were.

She stayed with Shen Meizhuang yesterday and only returned to Sui Yuxuan very late in the evening.

As a result, as soon as she returned to her palace, she learned from Xiao Yunzi that the emperor had turned over An Lingrong's card, so An Lingrong was not in Sui Yuxuan.

Zhen Huan didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, so she went to bed early.

But Zhen Huan didn't expect that after An Lingrong was called away by the emperor, she did not return all night!

It was not until then that Zhen Huan realized that something might have happened.

According to Zhen Huan's original idea, she actually wanted to send Liu Zhu out to inquire about the news.

However, Cui Jinxi was more calm and persuaded Zhen Huan to stop and let her go to pay her respects to the Queen first.

Cui Jinxi's meaning was very simple. If An Lingrong was not in any serious trouble, then Zhen Huan would definitely see her in Jingren Palace. At that time, she could just ask her and find out what happened last night.

Even if Zhen Huan did not see An Lingrong in Jingren Palace, the Queen would definitely know the reason why An Lingrong got into trouble.

No matter which situation it is, it is safer than Zhen Huan sending Liu Zhu out now!

Zhen Huan is now very grateful that she did not act impulsively at the time, but was persuaded by Cui Jinxi.

"Sister Huan, are you okay?"

When An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan coming over, she immediately noticed the two dark circles under Zhen Huan's eyes and realized that Zhen Huan probably did not sleep well last night.

But An Lingrong never expected that Zhen Huan’s sleep quality was indeed not very good.

But the reason why Zhen Huan couldn't sleep was actually because she had nightmares, not because she was worried about An Lingrong.

After all, at that time, Zhen Huan didn't know that An Lingrong had not returned to Sui Yuxuan!

"Of course I'm fine." Zhen Huan also felt the concern from An Lingrong, but at this moment she forced a slight smile and turned to Jingpin and said, "Madam Jingpin, is Sister Mei okay?"

Shen Meizhuang is from Jingpin's palace. She did not come to Jingren Palace today. She said she was not feeling well, so she could not come to pay her respects to the Queen.

Zhen Huan had just heard about this from Concubine Jing.

The reason why this is brought up again now is of course because An Lingrong is completely unaware of this.

When Zhen Huan said this, she was not only trying to make An Lingrong understand what was happening.

On the other hand, this is also a reminder to Concubine Jing.

"Haha, Concubine Shen is fine, it's just that the dragon fetus has been making trouble. The imperial physician said before that it's because the dragon fetus is strong, which is a good thing in itself. But Concubine Shen will suffer."

Jingpin was stunned at first when asked by Zhen Huan, but then she reacted all of a sudden. She knew that Zhen Huan wanted to say something to An Lingrong, but considering that there were so many people around, she used the matter of Shen Meiyu to hint at it.

After realizing Zhen Huan's true intention, Concubine Jing naturally knew how to cooperate.

Ever since they reached a consensus in Xianfu Palace, Jingpin has regarded both Zhen Huan and An Lingrong as her "allies".

After saying this, Jingpin walked away with a faint smile, and invisibly blocked all kinds of gazes from Zhen Huan and An Lingrong so that the two could talk without being disturbed.

"Sister, what happened to you?"

In the corner, Zhen Huan once again asked An Lingrong why she did not return home all night, her tone full of concern.

"Thank you for your worry, sister. I'm fine. Nothing happened."

An Lingrong answered Zhen Huan with an embarrassed look on her face, "It was just that something unexpected happened, so the emperor kept me in the Yangxin Palace..."

When Zhen Huan first listened to An Lingrong's narration, she didn't think there was anything wrong.

From the fact that An Lingrong was brought to Jingren Palace by a carriage, it can at least be seen that An Lingrong definitely did not anger the emperor!

Otherwise, An Lingrong should have been sent back long ago.

What's worse... you might even be banished to the cold palace!

Anyway, no matter what, there is no way she can come back safely.

However, when An Lingrong revealed the real reason why the emperor kept her in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Zhen Huan, who had originally calmed down, once again lost the ability to control her expression.

"Yes."

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan with a dumbfounded expression, but nodded again and said affirmatively: "I am pregnant, and the emperor has promoted my position."

"what?"

Zhen Huan must feel very stupid at this moment.

Because her mood was so up and down, after listening to An Lingrong's words, she suddenly didn't know what expression she should make!
