With a lifetime of experience in palace fighting, An Lingrong naturally knows how valuable a reliable imperial physician is.

In her previous life, Zhen Huan was able to escape danger many times thanks to the help of the imperial physician Wen Shichu.

And now when she mentioned to Zhen Huan that she wanted to hire someone to treat Caiyue properly, she naturally meant to ask Wen Shichu to help.

Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu are childhood sweethearts, and this relationship did not weaken because Zhen Huan was selected into the palace.

However, in the past, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhen Huan would not easily send anyone to disturb Wen Shichu.

As for how An Lingrong knew about their private relationship, apart from the memories of her previous life, it was also because when Zhen Huan was ill and the Queen asked Jianqiu to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for a doctor to treat her, the person who was invited was Wen Shichu!

In this life, Zhen Huan has a harmonious relationship with An Lingrong. They are close to each other and trust each other. She feels that there is nothing she cannot tell others, so she later tells An Lingrong that Wen Shichu is a trustworthy person and that if there is a need in the future, she can send someone to help him.

"You mean..."

Zhen Huan naturally understood the person behind An Lingrong's words, and her eyes flashed slightly.

"Sister, I dare not say anything else, but Songzhi dared to do something bad to Caiyue, it was nothing more than relying on the support of Concubine Hua, or perhaps it was originally following Concubine Hua's order! In this case, even if the Queen shows mercy and allows Sister Mei to invite the imperial physician to treat Caiyue, I am afraid that the Imperial Hospital will have many concerns."

Seeing that Zhen Huan was hesitant, An Lingrong slowly and calmly explained the interests involved.

Although when a palace maid fell ill, she would usually go to the Imperial Hospital to ask a doctor to take her pulse and prescribe medicine, if the palace maid was very favored by her master, there were cases where the imperial physician would diagnose her.

A situation like Caiyue's was an unexpected disaster, and the Queen must be very clear about it.

Therefore, whether it is for the purpose of winning over Shen Meizhuang or to establish a virtuous and benevolent image in the harem, there is a high probability that the Queen will reward her with a gift.

It’s just that Concubine Hua previously held power over the six palaces and managed every aspect in place. Even though she no longer has power, the management she has done over the years will not vanish in an instant.

Even if the Queen issued an order, if the Imperial Medical Bureau did not want to offend both parties, it could just pretend to obey but secretly disobey. This was an easy task for those imperial physicians who were used to changing their stance according to the situation.

"Lingrong, what you said makes sense."

After some thought, Zhen Huan finally felt that things would most likely develop as An Lingrong said.

In just a short moment, Zhen Huan had made up her mind, and said to Cui Jinxi, "Jinxi, go to the Imperial Hospital and tell Doctor Wen that if the Queen's decree comes down, please ask him to save Caiyue!"

"Yes, I will convey all the information!"

Cui Jinxi also knew that this matter was of great importance, so she did not dare to be negligent at this moment. She nodded, and then left Shuiyuxuan again.

Fortunately, Chun'er no longer lives in Shuiyuxuan, otherwise their actions would definitely not be hidden from Chun'er.

"Okay, sister, man proposes, God disposes. You have done everything you can. The rest depends on fate."

An Lingrong comforted Zhen Huan with a few words, and then seeing that she looked sleepy, she did not stay any longer and returned to her own palace.

"My dear, you have to watch your step carefully. It snowed a few times before, and now the temperature has risen. The snow in many places has begun to melt, and the ground is very slippery!"

Baojuan supported An Lingrong, reminding her to be careful with her feet, while at the same time showing her courtesy without leaving any trace.

"I know."

An Lingrong knew all of Baojuan's little thoughts and wanted to just laugh it off, but at this moment, she felt something in her heart for no reason and stopped immediately.

"My Lord, what's wrong?"

Baojuan also keenly noticed the change in An Lingrong and asked a question.

"You just said that because the weather has improved recently, the snow that fell a few days ago is melting, so the ground is unusually slippery..."

An Lingrong repeated what Baojuan had just said to her. Seeing Baojuan still nodding, she asked, "Then let me ask you, are there people responsible for clearing the snow in the Imperial Garden and on the roads in the palace?"

"what?"

Baojuan was confused by this question, but then she thought that An Lingrong's sudden question about her was probably related to the accident with Shen Meiyu's maid.

Although An Lingrong did not let Baojuan listen in when she had a private conversation with Zhen Huan before, when Zhen Huan sent Cui Jinxi to inquire about the news, An Lingrong also sent Baojuan out.

The conflict between Songzhi and Caiyue in the Imperial Household Department was no secret, so even if Baojuan went to inquire, she would be able to find out some information. However, compared to the information collected by Cui Jinxi, her information was more superficial.

After understanding An Lingrong's intention, Baojuan naturally told her everything.

"My lady, from what I know, the palace has arranged for eunuchs to be responsible for cleaning up the snow, and places like the Imperial Garden are cleaned up frequently."

After Bao Juan answered An Lingrong's question, she paused and continued, "So, under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not fall into the lake due to slippery roads."

After all, only the ladies in the palace would wear flower-pot soles, while the rest of the palace maids only wore flat cloth shoes. Even if they slipped because of stepping on the snow, they would not fall into the water.

"If I remember correctly, Chun Changzai seemed to have been tripped by someone when she was coming back, which caused her to lose balance and fall into the lake..."

An Lingrong recalled the reason why Chun'er fell into the water, and the smile on her face turned cold.

She had previously deduced that what happened to Caiyue was caused by Songzhi's deliberate act. Now, after listening to Baojuan's words, An Lingrong was even more certain of this.

While sending Baojuan to Zhen Huan to inform her of this discovery, An Lingrong turned around and began to tinker with her own spices.

Although she had almost no opportunities to deal with Concubine Hua in her previous life, there was one thing that An Lingrong remembered deeply, and that was Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy!

She still remembered that at that time, Shen Meizhuang was deeply favored by the emperor, and promotion was imminent. There was also news that she was pregnant, which made the empress dowager and the emperor extremely happy.

But who knew that all this was just an illusion, and a conspiracy specifically targeting Shen Meizhuang!

"If, I'm not mistaken, Cao Qinmo has already taken action now..."

An Lingrong murmured to herself in her heart, and then looking at the pile of incense raw materials in front of her, a plan slowly emerged in her mind.

Since Cao Qinmo wanted to use this to attack Shen Meizhuang and thus destroy her image in the emperor's mind, then he must have used the strategy of suppressing before promoting her!

She added fuel to the fire, making everything burn even more fiercely!
