After everyone left the main hall, An Lingrong gave Ju Qing a look. Ju Qing understood and when she reached the door, she said anxiously:

"Please forgive me, Madam. I forgot your hand warmer in the palace. I will go get it now."

"How can you be so careless? Go and come back quickly." An Lingrong frowned slightly, her tone filled with displeasure. Ju Qing quickly agreed and turned to walk towards the main hall.

When Juqing arrived at the main hall, the servant at the door came forward and asked, "Why are you back, young lady? Did you leave anything behind?"

The implication is that if there is nothing else, please go back...

"It was my negligence that the Empress' hand warmer fell inside. The Empress ordered me to get it." Ju Qing said with a smile, looking inside as he spoke.

"Look, it fell on the table." Juqing raised his hand slightly. The servant turned around and saw that Prince Guo was the only one in the hall, so he let Juqing in.

"Your Highness, good luck. I am here to retrieve the hand warmer that Your Majesty dropped." Juqing walked in and bowed her head.

Prince Guo did not say anything, but raised his hand. Juqing nodded and went forward to take it.

He walked behind the table, took the hand warmer in his hand, and caught a glimpse of a corner of clothes sticking out from behind the screen. Although he was surprised, he left without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, it's very cold outside. Please get on the sedan chair first. I will wait for the hand warmer and take another look at the snowy scene."

An Lingrong helped the emperor straighten his cloak. The emperor touched An Lingrong's hand and found it was indeed a little cold. He didn't bring a hand warmer with him, so he gave her some instructions and got into the sedan chair.

An Lingrong watched the emperor get on the sedan chair, and was afraid that Ju Qing might see something she shouldn't see and get into trouble again, so she turned around to greet him...

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Liu Zhu, who was walking out of the side hall with a food box in her hand...

Liu Zhu also saw An Lingrong. When their eyes met, they were both terrified. Liu Zhu even hid directly behind a pillar, leaving An Lingrong in a dilemma.

"My queen, I got the hand warmer." When Ju Qing saw An Lingrong standing inside the door, she knew that her master couldn't let her go, so she came over with a smile.

"Okay, let's go quickly and don't let the emperor wait anxiously." An Lingrong came back to her senses, forced a faint smile, covered her heart, turned around and pulled Juqing away.

"Your Majesty, please slow down and be careful with your step..." Ju Qing followed behind and saw An Lingrong walking very fast. She quickly took a few steps forward and supported An Lingrong.

An Lingrong let out a sigh of relief only when she felt Ju Qing supporting her. Her heart was still pounding until she got into the sedan chair!

Liu Zhu is at Qingliang Terrace at this time, which can only mean:

Zhen Huan should also be there...

Could it be that the two of them had been so rampant outside the palace in their previous life? ! This is a capital crime, how dare Zhen Huan? !

Thinking of this, An Lingrong quickly covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, fearing that she would accidentally say what she was thinking...

After returning to Chengqian Palace, Juqing asked the servants to leave, closed the palace door, walked quickly towards An Lingrong and whispered:

"My lady, there is someone behind the screen. I can see clearly that person is wearing monk's robes."

After saying this, Juqing looked at An Lingrong, and An Lingrong also looked at Juqing.

"Your Majesty, do you think that person could be..." Ju Qing was about to speak when An Lingrong quickly covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, looked out the window, and then put her hand down.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Zhongzi is guarding outside, there's no one here." Ju Qing spoke in a low voice, and An Lingrong felt relieved.

"Whether it is true or not, you must not say a word about this to anyone else." An Lingrong spoke, and Juqing nodded seriously.

"However, Your Majesty, there is one thing I cannot figure out." Ju Qing looked at An Lingrong in confusion, not knowing whether she should ask.

"You go ahead." An Lingrong nodded and motioned for her to speak.

Ju Qing took two steps forward and spoke softly, "If it's really as we thought, why didn't they run away? If someone finds out, it would be a heinous crime that could lead to the execution of all nine generations of the clan..."

"I'm not sure..." An Lingrong said, thinking secretly in her heart.

Yes, since they are together, why don't they flee? If they stay in the capital, if they are discovered, the nine clans will probably not be enough for her Zhen family to kill...

Do they think the most dangerous place is the safest place?

How is it possible? Just like today, if I had the will, I could have used a little trick to expose the person behind the screen. Why would they think they were safe under the Emperor's nose? !

How audacious!

An Lingrong let Juqing keep the matter to herself, and the New Year passed in the blink of an eye.

As the spring came, An Lingrong was still the favorite in the harem, and the emperor often took Hong Sheng to teach him. The voices of the previous dynasty against the crown prince became louder again...

However, Shen Meizhuang's condition has not been very good recently, and it is visibly bad...

These days, she would often come to Chengqian Palace, but every time she spoke to her, she would often lose her focus, and her eyes would turn purple.

"Sister Mei, is there anything on your mind?" An Lingrong patted Shen Meizhuang who was in a daze and asked.

"No, I just didn't sleep well these days." Shen Meizhuang shook her head, forced a faint smile, looked at An Lingrong and answered.

"I'm not getting enough rest. Did Sister Mei ask Doctor Wen to come and see me? Why didn't you ask him to prescribe some tranquilizing soup? Poor sleep can be very harmful to your body. You can't be careless."

An Lingrong reminded her with concern, but Shen Meizhuang was stunned again.

"Sister Mei, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, An Lingrong raised her hand and waved it in front of her and asked.

"Oh, no need. I don't want to see him these days..." Shen Meizhuang murmured. After she finished speaking, she realized that she had said something wrong and looked at An Lingrong embarrassedly.

An Lingrong smiled and shook her head. Shen Meizhuang quickly tried to make amends, "I mean, I took the medicine, but it didn't help much. I will slowly adjust myself and it will get better slowly."

"I understand. I'll ask Juqing to ask Imperial Doctor Meng to come. Look at your eyes, there's a dark bruise..." An Lingrong said as she patted Shen Meizhuang's hand.

"I'm really fine..." Shen Meizhuang emphasized. An Lingrong nodded, but Shen Meizhuang felt a little embarrassed...

"Lingrong, what do you think? If you like someone, should you let him know and ask him clearly? Or should you just stay silent and stick to your heart?"

Shen Meizhuang said this while holding An Lingrong's hand. She looked into her eyes nervously, waiting for her answer.

"Sister Mei, Lingrong once told you that being a woman is not easy, so we should be free and live for ourselves within the limits of what we can bear."

An Lingrong knew what Shen Meiyu was asking her. Since no one discovered their relationship in the previous life, no one should notice it in this life either. Besides, if given a choice, who wouldn't want to choose a passionate love?

"Well, I believe you." Shen Meizhuang spoke, as if she had gotten a satisfactory answer.

An Lingrong panicked when she saw this, and hurriedly pulled her back, saying, "Sister Mei, please don't do anything stupid."

"I understand. I will never put myself in danger." Shen Meizhuang nodded, and her whole state was visibly more relaxed.
