An Lingrong after rebirth

"Xianpin, there is something going on in the imperial kitchen. I usually go to check it out. Since you are here, I will leave Wanpin's body to you!"

"Empress Dowager Shen Meizhuang met the other person's gaze, and could not see anything unusual in her eyes! Then she left the sight. Yes, I respectfully send the Empress off."

"Chun Changzai, this matter is related to you after all. Please come with me," said Chun Changzai, twitching her shoulders and bending her knees. "Yes!"

"They left one after the other, and in the blink of an eye, only Shen Meizhuang and her servant, Wen Shichu, and Zhen Huan lying on the bed were left in the palace."

Shen Meizhuang walked to the side and sat down with an unpleasant look on her face, and asked, "Doctor Wen's other Han Lingxiang, do you really have no clue at all?"

"My lady, I have examined all the things in Suiyuxuan and found nothing unusual. Moreover, although the name of Hanlingxiang contains the word "fragrance", the smell is actually very slight."

"Even if we investigate carefully, it will be even more difficult to find out. I cannot determine in my heart whether the cold fragrance is on Sui Yuxiang or on someone else."

"Could it be that Huan'er's fetus was lost in such an unclear way? Shen Meizhuang's eyes were red with hatred, but she felt helpless in her heart."

"The Emperor obviously believes that Chun Changzai is innocent because of what Yixiu said. An Lingrong has talked to Shen Meizhuang and knows that Chun Changzai might be the Queen's man."

"Let the Queen investigate this matter herself, isn't it? The chicken is clearly asking the Queen to push a scapegoat out at random. It won't affect Concubine Chun at all."

"It's really frustrating to know that the executioner who harms people is right in front of you, but you can't do anything about it!"

"Forget it. The emperor can't do anything, and I can't do anything either. I just don't know how painful it will be for Huan'er to wake up and find that she has lost her child."

"Wen Shichu was very sad when he heard this. He blamed himself for staying in the Duke's Mansion and not coming back. He hated himself for trusting Wei Lin's medical skills and letting Zhen Huan have a miscarriage without noticing anything unusual."

But things have already been decided, and even if I hate it, I can't change it!

"My Lady, this is all my fault. If I had been more persistent when the Lord Yuanzheng assigned the task, perhaps what happened today would not have happened."

"Wen Shichu's voice was heavy and painful. Shen Meizhuang didn't intend to blame him when she heard it! But after a moment, Shen Meizhuang realized that you were sent by the director of the court to deal with the matter at the Sun Guogong Mansion?"

"Yes! Madam, that day Lord Sun came to the Imperial Hospital in person, and the hospital director ordered me to go there! Do you know anything about Lord Sun?"

Wen Shichu was stunned, not knowing what Shen Meizhuang meant.

"After thinking for a moment, I came back to you, Your Majesty. I am just a small doctor in the Imperial Hospital. I don't know much about Duke Sun. What do you want to ask?"

"What Shen Meizhuang wanted to ask was naturally not something that Wen Shichu, who was clueless, could know. He waved his hand and said, "Never mind. Huan'er is weak. Go and get the medicine."

Wen Shichu responded and retreated.

Shen Meizhuang said again, Jinxi... Cui Jinxi stepped forward in response, Empress Xianpin.

"Shen Meizhuang thought for a moment and said, "That's it. I'll do it myself. You take good care of your mother. I'll come to see her tomorrow."

"Cui Jinxi didn't understand what Shen Meizhuang meant, but she could only kneel down. Yes, I will send you off respectfully!"

Shen Meizhuang stood up, walked to the bed, looked at Zhen Huan, then turned around and walked away.

Gyeongin Palace

"Chun Changzai is sitting at the bottom. She no longer looks weak as she did in Suiyuxuan. Empress, Wanpin's child is gone. The Emperor will not dislike me because of this, will he?"

"I have already reported the matter of Suiyuxiang to the imperial kitchen. You only know about Camellia powder, but not Suiyuxuan. Why does the emperor blame you?"

"Wanpin lost her child. Even if the emperor thinks it was not your initiative, it was you who sent the Lingfenxiang cake. So, ignoring you for two days is not a big deal!"

Chun Changzai knew what the Queen meant and couldn't refute it, so she could only nod and say, "Yes, I understand."

"Just be quiet these few days and don't think about the favor. I will issue an order. Although Wanpin's miscarriage has nothing to do with you, it was caused by the snacks you sent. You will be confined for half a month."

Chun Changzai bit her lip and lowered her head and said, "Yes, I will obey the Empress's orders."

Go back, I will tell the Emperor about this matter!

"I'll take my leave. Concubine Chun is leaving. Yi Xiudao, have you found someone for Jianqiu? Don't worry, Madam, the Imperial Kitchen has already made arrangements."

Well, I will invite the emperor to Jingren Palace in two days, yes!

"After Jianqiu finished speaking, Yixiu waved her hand, leaned back on the soft pillow, closed her eyes slightly, and stopped talking!"

Seeing this, Jianqiu knelt down, bowed, and turned away.

"On the other side, Shen Meizhuang left Suiyuxuan and hurried to Yanxi Palace. Seeing this, Caiyue supported Shen Meizhuang and couldn't help but asked, "Madam, are you going to tell Madam Shupin about this?"

"Shen Meizhuang paused. Yes, I can only discuss this matter with Rong'er. Your Majesty, please think twice. Why?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has never liked Concubine Wan..."

"Shen Meizhuang was stunned, then she remembered, yes, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan never had any intimate contact."

"If I rashly go to Lingrong to ask for help, I might hurt her friendship a lot! Thinking of this, Shen Meizhuang paused."

"Huan'er and Lingrong don't have much contact. Now that something like this has happened, it would be wrong for me to ask Rong'er to do anything like this!"

Caiyue nodded after hearing this.

Yes! Concubine Shu has helped us a lot, so it would not be bad if we bother her with other people and things. Your Majesty, since the Emperor has already inquired about it, the Empress will also check the Imperial Kitchen now.

"It will eventually come to fruition. In my opinion, Your Majesty should just rest assured and wait for the result!"

"Girl, can't you see that today's so-called imperial kitchen is just a place where disaster is diverted?"

"Your Majesty, regardless of whether it is a diversion or not, the Emperor has already decided on the direction of the investigation. If you find out that it is related to Concubine Chun, will you report it to the Emperor without going through the Empress?"

Shen Meizhuang was suddenly startled. What do you mean by this? Does the emperor know? Caiyue shook her head. I don't know either, but I think that Concubine Shu is smart.

"If you just want Madam Shu to analyze the key points of this matter for you, Madam Shu will not refuse. But you must not think of asking Madam Shu to help Sui Yuxuan investigate this matter!"

"After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang glared at Caiyue and said, "You will say, I know, let's go quickly." Caiyue smiled and helped Shen Meizhuang leave quickly.

"In the Yanxi Palace, An Lingrong saw Shen Meizhuang rushing over and put down the teacup in her hand. What happened to Meijie? She is running so fast that sweat is on her forehead."

"Shen Meizhuang walked in and sat down. She picked up the teacup and took a sip before she spoke, Rong'er. Guan'er had a miscarriage. An Lingrong had expected this a long time ago and was not surprised after hearing it. It turned out to be true. I wonder if anyone has found out... why it happened...!"

"Changzai Chun added broken jade incense to the Lingfenxiang cake she gave to Huan'er. Doctor Wen said that broken jade incense must be used together with cold Lingxiang to have the effect of inducing abortion. Huan'er was persecuted by this and had a miscarriage."

"Chun Changzai, why haven't I heard that she was punished?"

"Changzai Chun denied that the Lingfenxiang cake was added with broken jade incense. She said that camellia powder was added. In the end, the Empress made a conclusion and wanted to investigate the imperial kitchen, so Changzai Chun was completely removed from the matter!"

An Lingrong was stunned. "The Emperor didn't continue the investigation?"

"Yes," Shen Meizhuang sighed helplessly. "I think the emperor doesn't want to care about this matter at all. He always says grace and grace on weekdays, but when something happens, it makes me feel disappointed."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "Sister, you can just say this to me. Don't reveal a single word when you go out. If someone hears it, it won't be a simple matter!"

Don't worry, I know I wouldn't say a word unless you were by my side!

"An Lingrong nodded slightly. So, sister, did you come here to ask me something else?" Shen Meizhuang sighed softly. Rong'er is smart and nothing can be hidden from you.

An Lingrong didn't say anything after hearing this. She silently poured a cup of tea for the other party and waited for Shen Meizhuang to speak.

Shen Meizhuang was silent for a moment before she said, "This Broken Jade Incense must be used together with the Cold Ling Incense to have the effect of inducing abortion. But Doctor Wen only found the Broken Jade Incense, and he has no clue where the Cold Lingxiang is!"

"Huan'er hasn't woken up yet. Even if I want to help her find out, I have no idea where to start! But everyone in the palace knows that Wen Shichu is in charge of Huan'er's pregnancy."

"But she was invited to the Duke's office at this time. At this time, Huan'er fell into a trap and had a miscarriage. I don't believe that there is no connection between them."

"Sister, do you mean to find out who ordered Duke Sun to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician?" An Lingrong finished speaking and continued before Shen Meizhuang could say anything.

"Or maybe after Duke Sun entered the palace, he deliberately arranged for Doctor Wen to go to the Duke's Mansion, which gave the person behind the scenes an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

Ronger sees it clearly, this is what I mean!

"I have heard of Han Lingxiang a few times when I was at home. It has a faint fragrance, but it will completely lose its scent over time. It will be difficult to find out at this time."

"As for Lord Sun, my sister's maternal grandfather is in the capital, so he should be able to find out who he belongs to. An Lingrong's words made Shen Meizhuang's eyes light up."

Yes, even though Han Lingxiang cannot be found for the time being, there should be some clues about who Duke Sun is attached to! "Even if there is no evidence for the time being, we should know who is behind this, so that we won't be in front of our enemies and still be ignorant!"

After understanding this, Shen Meizhuang nodded seriously, "Rong'er is right. I will go back and have someone send a message out of the palace. As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Meizhuang was about to stand up, but was held back by An Lingrong."

"Sister, it has already happened, and Duke Sun will not run away at this moment. Why should you rush? The Seventh Prince is still with me. You can't give up your own son just for your sister Wanpin, right?"

"Shen Meizhuang slapped her forehead and said, 'Look at me, I'm really confused. Where are the children?'"

"Both children are sleepy. I asked the wet nurse and Lian'er to watch them sleep!" An Lingrong replied. The children are all asleep. If we wake them up now, they will definitely cry."

"It's time for lunch. Sister, why don't you have lunch here with me and wait until the Seventh Prince wakes up before going back?" Shen Meizhuang sat down again after hearing this. Well, I was impulsive. I'll listen to you.

"An Lingrong handed over a cup of tea. Sister, you must be thirsty after talking for so long. This cup of tea has just been poured. The temperature is just right. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat!"

"Rong'er is always attentive. Seeing Shen Meizhuang finish her cup of tea, An Lingrong suddenly spoke again, "Sister, how is Wanpin's health?"

"Shen Meizhuang sighed again. Losing this child is of course harmful to her health. She should take good care of herself during the confinement period. She has been sleeping all the time and hasn't woken up yet!"

"Sister is worried about Concubine Wan, so I guess she will go to Suiyuxuan to see her tomorrow!" Naturally, Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong in confusion, wondering why she said that?

"Then when you go tomorrow, ask me to come along! An Lingrong's words surprised Shen Meizhuang!"

The other party is not on good terms with Zhen Huan, but he still wants to go see her at this time...

"With an unknown idea in her mind, Shen Meizhuang reached out and held An Lingrong's hand. Rong'er, thank you so much. If you weren't worried about me, you wouldn't have to make this trip."

"An Lingrong's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she smiled slightly. Sister treats me well, so I will naturally treat her well! The two smiled at each other and said nothing more!"

After lunch, Shen Meizhuang took the Seventh Prince away, and An Lingrong called Qiu Fang in, "Did you know about the Sui Yuxuan incident?"

"Yes, I just heard what Lady Xianpin said. Tell me, who do you think did this? An Lingrong raised her eyes to glance at Qiufang and spoke again."

"Empress!" Qiufang answered without hesitation, causing An Lingrong to look at her in surprise.

"Are you so sure? Concubine Chun escaped from our Yanxi Palace unscathed, all thanks to the Queen's oral order."

If you say that Chun Changzai belongs to someone else, I really don't believe it? An Lingrong nodded. Qiufang looked at things very carefully.

"Because of what the Queen said, the Emperor has decided to investigate the Imperial Kitchen. But anyone who knows about the connection between the incidents knows that Concubine Chun cannot escape responsibility."

The emperor just didn't want to get entangled with the other person's body. "But what I'm surprised is that Sister Mei didn't ask me to help investigate, but just asked for my opinion?"

"Although Concubine Xian values ​​the guy from Suiyuxuan, I have also discussed this with Caiyue in private. Caiyue said that she doesn't hate the guy from Suiyuxuan, but she doesn't like him either. Maybe it's because of Caiyue's persuasion that Concubine Xian has some sense of propriety!"

"Come to think of it, Sister Mei herself said it! Wanpin and she were just childhood playmates, and they haven't seen each other for many years. Perhaps I am too hard-hearted. I really can't understand why Sister Mei treats her so well."

"Even between sisters, there are bound to be dirty things. It's just that we have been apart for a long time, and each of us has the best memories of the other. Now that we meet again in the harem, we are naturally more intimate than with others!"

"But I don't think we can still be as close as before if we continue to spend time together day by day."

After hearing this, An Lingrong nodded and said, "You are right. Let's wait and see!"

...............

next day

"An Lingrong personally fed the Sixth Prince breakfast, and then Shen Meizhuang arrived. She put the two children together and told them to take good care of them. Then An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang left the Yanxi Palace together."

"Walking side by side on the palace road, An Lingrong saw Shen Meizhuang's cold expression and guessed that she must have found out who Duke Sun was attached to."

But these words were also for Zhen Huan to say, so An Lingrong didn't ask now. Soon the two of them arrived at Sui Yuxuan!

"Cui Jinxi happened to come out of the main hall. When she saw the two of them, she was slightly stunned. Then she walked towards them without stopping. I pay my respects to Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu!"

No need to be so polite. Is your queen awake?

Cui Jinxi's face flashed with sadness, "My Lady Xianpin, my lady woke up last night. After she knew about the miscarriage, she refused to talk or eat. Even the Emperor came to see her but there was nothing he could do."

"You didn't sleep all night? There was a hint of melancholy in Shen Meizhuang's words!"
