"It's my fault." The emperor said as he loosened An Lingrong's hands, but did not let go completely. He pulled An Lingrong to sit on the Luohan bed beside him.

"I thought the emperor no longer wanted to see me..." An Lingrong choked up and tears flowed as she spoke.

Since the emperor has given me this way out, I have to go down with it. After all, the emperor is the emperor, the true dragon emperor, the supreme ruler. Even if I am unwilling, I have to go down the ladder.

As long as people outside know that it was the emperor who came to Chengqian Palace first, then I will win this round...

"It's my fault. I have already punished Concubine Qi." The emperor loosened his hand only when he saw that An Lingrong looked much better. She then took the silk handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

"It's all my fault. I was deceived by her and did such a stupid thing. Rong'er, look at me." The emperor said as he came to An Lingrong. An Lingrong looked up and met the emperor's apologetic eyes.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had seen the emperor act like this. In her eyes, he was the king, the king of the world. She had never thought that one day the emperor would actually admit his mistakes to her...

"Your Majesty, I'm just worried about your health." An Lingrong stopped when she saw that things were going well and said this. The emperor looked down and saw a pitiful figure, so he hugged An Lingrong in his arms.

"Ugh~" As soon as An Lingrong approached, she could smell the scent of ambergris and felt nauseous. The emperor asked with concern, "What's wrong, Rong'er? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It was the ambergris that Your Majesty fumigated. Your Majesty, my period has not come this month yet." An Lingrong spoke in a low voice with a shy look on her face, but the emperor laughed when he heard it.

"Your Majesty..." An Lingrong spoke coquettishly when she saw him looking at her.

"Rong'er, you're fine! Su Peisheng, go get the imperial physician!"

The Emperor helped An Lingrong sit on the Arhat bed and said:

"Rong'er, are you feeling unwell anywhere else?" The emperor asked with concern, a smile in his eyes.

"No more." An Lingrong also smiled and shook her head.

Meng Zhaoxing soon came to Chengqian Palace. After checking An Lingrong's pulse, he bowed to the emperor with a look of joy and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Empress Chen. Empress Chen has been pregnant for nearly two months."

After Meng Zhaoxing finished speaking, the emperor's face became even happier. He looked at An Lingong with a smile and raised his hand and said, "Reward! Everyone in Chengqian Palace will be rewarded handsomely!"

After saying that, he held An Lingrong's hand and said, "Rong'er, that's great..."

As soon as the news spread, all the palaces sent congratulatory gifts, and the emperor stayed overnight in Chengqian Palace.

The next afternoon, Concubine Jing came to Chengqian Palace with gifts.

"Thinking that you must have been very busy yesterday, I came today so that I could congratulate you properly." Concubine Jing said as she raised her hand, and Hanzhu presented her with a brocade box. Concubine Jing took it and handed it to An Lingrong.

"This is a pair of jade ruyi. My mother said they were for my future children. I don't have any children now, so I'll give them to you. One is just right for each of my two children." Concubine Jing said as she pushed the brocade box in front of An Lingrong. Although she had a smile on her face, An Lingrong could still see the regret in her eyes.

"Juqing, all of you leave first. I want to have a good talk with Concubine Jing." An Lingrong looked at Juqing. Juqing agreed and pulled Hanzhu out.

"This was given to the child by his mother's family. How can I accept it?" An Lingrong said as she pushed the brocade box over again.

"Since I've given it to you, you should take it. Besides, how can I have a child? This is how my life will be..." Concubine Jing sighed and pushed the brocade box to An Lingrong.

"Aren't you going to use the pregnancy-maintaining recipe that I asked Juqing to give you?" An Lingrong looked at Concubine Jing. As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Jing became visibly depressed. She shook her head slightly but said nothing.

"Even if I didn't tell you, you should have guessed it. This recipe is the one that Concubine Hua used to get pregnant with the dragon heir. Concubine Hua has been smelling the Huanyi incense for so many years and she was still able to get pregnant. You have only been in her room for a year or two, so it should be possible." An Lingrong's voice was not loud, and Concubine Jing raised her head after hearing it.

"But I also ate the diet that the Queen gave me with thunder god vine added for two years." Concubine Jing pursed her lips after saying this.

"Won't the medicinal power of thunder god vine slowly dissipate over time? I asked Imperial Doctor Meng to take your pulse earlier, and he said that you are in good health now, and there is no sign of having been poisoned by thunder god vine." An Lingrong looked at Concubine Jing, but there was still no joy in Concubine Jing's eyes.

"Say something? I always thought you were a person who would speak your mind, why are you so shy now?" After saying this, An Lingrong patted Concubine Jing's hand.

"I, I..." Concubine Jing said as she looked at An Lingrong, then lowered her head again.

"What? Tell me, you're really going to drive me crazy..." An Lingrong couldn't help but raise her voice by two notches when she saw her like that.

"Oh! Mainly because I feel embarrassed to say it out loud." After saying this, Concubine Jing seemed to have made a decision and spoke again:

"Let me be frank. The Emperor rarely comes to my place. After two new people entered the harem, he comes even less often. Even if he suddenly comes one day..."

Concubine Jing glanced at An Lingrong as she spoke, and when she saw An Lingrong asking her to continue, she continued:

"Even if the emperor comes one day, he may not do that. Sometimes I feel that the reason he turns over my name card every time is to avoid quiet time..."

After Concubine Jing finished speaking, her face turned red all the way to her neck and she quickly turned her head away.

An Lingrong was also a little embarrassed after hearing this. She really didn't expect that this was the reason for her anger, so she coughed twice to cover up the embarrassment.

"If this is the case, don't worry about it. I have a way. You, just go back and wait." After saying this, An Lingrong coughed twice to cover up the embarrassment of Concubine Jing looking at her in surprise...

"This... this matter, do you have a solution? What solution? You can't?..." Concubine Jing looked outside the house and lowered her voice before saying, "You can't use force, right? That's the emperor..."

"Oh... don't ask, just go back and wait..." An Lingrong blushed after hearing this. This Concubine Jing really dared to say anything. She didn't even look at Concubine Jing, but she could already feel her eager eyes.

"Then... then I thank Your Majesty..." Concubine Jing stood up and actually bowed to An Lingrong. An Lingrong hurriedly stood up and supported her.

"You and I are both concubines, and you entered the palace earlier than me. How can I accept your gift?" An Lingrong said as she stood up to help Concubine Jing.
