After going through untold hardships, An Lingrong finally gave birth to a princess, and both mother and daughter were safe.

Upon learning of this, Yongzheng, the Empress Dowager and others were naturally extremely happy.

But who could have thought that at this moment of great joy, Fang Ruo suddenly came to report that someone was planning to murder her secretly!

Hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

"Is this serious?"

Yongzheng had a smile on his face, but it suddenly turned cold.

Although being stared at by the emperor with a serious gaze, Fang Ruo was not at all panicked, but nodded heavily.

"Reporting to the emperor, the midwife took out a packet of unknown white powder from her body and wanted to mix it into the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician for the young lady. Fortunately, this old servant discovered it and failed!"

Fang Ruo said: "Now the old woman has been tied up by my servant!"

"How audacious!"

When Yongzheng heard Fangruo's explanation, he became furious.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

The Queen Mother also said coldly: "How dare you murder the royal concubine? This matter is definitely not that simple!"

While saying this, the Queen Mother looked at the Queen deeply.

However, the queen remained calm and composed. Apart from the shock she showed when she first heard about this matter and the anger she is facing now, she did not have any other emotions.

Judging from the situation, the queen seemed to be just like everyone else, shocked and angry about this.

But she is a family member after all, and the Queen Mother still has some ideas about her cousin.

"Queen, you are the master of the six palaces, this matter is up to you..."

The Queen Mother originally wanted the Queen to be responsible for investigating the matter. This way, regardless of whether the matter had anything to do with the Queen, at least she would have the initiative.

Even if this matter was designed by someone else, if someone wanted to throw dirty water on the queen and frame her, then the queen would be responsible for investigating the matter, which would ensure to the greatest extent that she would not fall into the trap of others!

However, before the Queen Mother could finish her words, the Emperor suddenly said, "The Queen is responsible for many things and may not be able to handle them. Let Su Peisheng take people to investigate this matter!"

While making the decision, Yongzheng mentioned Su Peisheng's name.

"I obey your order!" Su Peisheng didn't want to do any more work like this, but it was the emperor's decision, and even the empress dowager couldn't stop Yongzheng. He was just a eunuch, so he could only kneel down obediently and receive the order.

"The Emperor should go and see Concubine An."

When the Empress Dowager saw Yongzheng's serious face, she understood that her son wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.

This is understandable. After all, there are quite a few pregnant concubines in the palace. Previously, Shen Meizhuang was plotted against and gave birth prematurely. Now, An Lingrong gave birth to a princess and was almost harmed by others.

Both incidents were directed at pregnant concubines, and they happened one after another. It is no wonder that the emperor was furious.

At this juncture, the Queen Mother could not say anything more.

At this point, the queen was at least innocent, but if she said a little more, the emperor would probably become suspicious of the queen, and that would backfire.

Given the Queen Mother's means, it is impossible for her to do such an unwise thing.

Because of this, the Empress Dowager chose to use An Lingrong and the newly born little princess as an excuse to divert Yongzheng's attention.

"That's fine too."

Yongzheng didn't want to cause panic among the people on such a happy day. Seeing that the empress dowager had given him a way out, he nodded and went to the inner courtyard to visit An Lingrong.

……

An Lingrong was actually in a state between half asleep and half awake.

Earlier, Fang Ruo discovered the midwife trying to do something wrong and was so frightened that she was scared to death. Although she didn't want to disturb An Lingrong, An Lingrong still heard the noise.

Then An Lingrong suddenly woke up, and after forcing herself to tell Fang Ruo to go and tell the emperor the truth, she fell into sleep again.

Having said that, there was a lot of noise around her, and the pain in her body had not subsided yet. In this situation, even if she wanted to have a good rest, An Lingrong could not fall asleep peacefully.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and then Yongzheng came to An Lingrong's bedside.

Looking at An Lingrong's pale face, and thinking that she had just given birth to a daughter for him, even though he had average feelings for her, Yongzheng showed deep concern at this moment.

"Anpin, are you okay?"

Faced with the emperor's question, An Lingrong frowned slightly, and then, as if exerting great strength, she finally opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

An Lingrong's voice was hoarse and weak, "Please forgive me for not being able to salute you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You just gave birth to a princess for me. You are a meritorious minister. Why do you need to perform a ceremony?"

The emperor laughed, then sat down beside the bed, holding An Lingrong's hand, and said sincerely: "I just went to see the little princess, she is very cute! This time, it's all thanks to you..."

At this point, Yongzheng paused for a moment, and then continued, "I have decided to give the little princess the title 'Lan Xi', the orchid is fragrant, the years are changing... Concubine An, what do you think?"

Yongzheng expressed his beautiful expectations and wishes for the little princess while looking at An Lingrong who looked not very energetic.

An Lingrong herself is not proficient in poetry and songs, but fortunately, she has learned a lot from Zhen Huan and others in these days.

After hearing the emperor's blessing to the little princess, An Lingrong also smiled.

"I think it's great!"

Seeing that the title he had thought of was approved by An Lingrong, Yongzheng was very happy. He then waved his hand and began to reward An Lingrong generously.

An Lingrong had just been conferred the title of concubine, and Zhen Huan and the others had not yet given birth to royal heirs, so it was naturally impossible for her to advance further at the moment. Therefore, the emperor's rewards were in the form of gold, silver, jewelry and other items.

In addition, Yongzheng looked at An Lingrong, pondered for a while, and said: "Rong'er, I will grant you a title, you should think about it carefully."

After saying this, the emperor decided not to disturb An Lingrong's rest any further, but stood up and walked out.

However, Yongzheng walked very quickly and naturally did not notice that An Lingrong was stunned after hearing these words.

Give yourself a title...

It seems that we have finally taken a completely different path from the one we started on.

However, An Lingrong now doesn’t know what title she should give herself.

As I was daydreaming, a strong sense of weariness came over me again.

This time, An Lingrong did not continue to resist, but followed her body's instincts and fell into a coma.

At the same time, the Forbidden City is destined to not be quiet tonight.
