An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

"Since Madam has mentioned this, I would like to ask the Imperial Concubine for some advice." Aunt Xiao spoke at this time and looked at An Lingrong.

"Please speak, Aunt." An Lingrong looked at Aunt Xiao and nodded.

"The day before yesterday, the third young lady of the Fucha family came to visit and talked about the second young lady of their family. Madam said that she had met the girl and she was very good, but I always felt that Fuwen was a little short of the mark in terms of the door lintel..." Aunt Xiao spoke, twisting her handkerchief slightly, obviously a little embarrassed.

After hearing this, An Lingrong understood immediately that marrying a daughter of a higher status and marrying a wife of a lower status was the custom in Songyang County, so that the man could have the final say at home.

"I know what you mean, but you don't have to think too much. Beijing is different from Songyang. The court emphasizes win-win situations. They dare to talk to us about it, which means they think Fuwen has a future." An Lingrong spoke, and Aunt Xiao nodded.

"Besides, Fuwen has studied in the Fucha family's clan school for half a year. I have also heard that he is on good terms with the third young master of the Fucha family. If they did not approve of him, they would not have come to your house to express their intention. However, you still have to ask Fuwen about this matter. Only after he nods can you raise funds for this matter."

After An Lingrong finished speaking, Aunt Xiao finally looked relieved. She stood up and bowed, saying, "Since Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine has said so, I am relieved."

Mother An stayed in Chengqian Palace for lunch. Hongsheng and Qianyue also came back, and the family had a reunion dinner.

After lunch, the emperor came to Chengqian Palace and asked Mother An to come to the palace more often to see the two children. Mother An was able to calmly accept the thanks, but Aunt Xiao was still a little afraid and just stood aside, not daring to raise her head...

Since An Lingrong was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, Concubine Duan began to frequently visit Zhongcui Palace, and she seemed to be very concerned about Concubine Qi's health. For some unknown reason, the two of them were getting back on good terms.

Just when Concubine Qi was about to take action, An Lingrong sent a message calling Meng Zhaoxing.

"How is Concubine Qi doing?" An Lingrong asked Meng Zhaoxing, who had already checked her pulse.

"Your Highness, I have checked the records and everything is normal. However, there are several suspicious medicinal materials in the records of Li Taiyi's medicine collection."

Meng Zhaoxing spoke, and An Lingrong straightened up and looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My Lady, according to the records, Imperial Doctor Li used Cuscuta, Dipsacus asper, and Viscum album. These herbs are all... all for treating stillbirth. I'm afraid the baby in Lady Qi's belly is dead."

Meng Zhaoxing spoke and An Lingrong nodded.

"It's beyond my expectation that she can survive until now. You can leave first." An Lingrong raised her hand, and Meng Zhaoxing bowed and retreated.

"Empress, what should we do?" Juqing stepped forward and served tea.

"As soon as they knew this baby was in danger, they were probably plotting how to use it against me..." An Lingrong took the tea and gave a sarcastic smile.

"Empress, what should we do?" Ju Qing asked, and An Lingrong put down the teacup in her hand.

"Come closer." An Lingrong waved her hand, and Juqing moved closer. An Lingrong whispered something in her ear, and Juqing nodded.

"Go call Zhan'er first, and then go and tell Mixia at night." An Lingrong said again, and Juqing agreed and walked out.

At night, Zhan'er quietly went to Changchun Palace with a bag of "spices" prepared by An Lingrong. The little palace maid who prepared side dishes in the imperial kitchen disappeared overnight, and Mi Xia, who had been "sick", was able to get out of bed.

The next afternoon, news came from Zhongcui Palace that Concubine Qi had gone mad, saying that the food sent by the imperial kitchen was not right, and she smashed the entire table of food. Concubine Duan hurried to appease her for a long time...

At night, Concubine Qi's madness worsened. She looked sober, but she was talking nonsense. Concubine Duan stayed by her side, showing a deep sisterly love...

It was not until the afternoon of the second day that Concubine Qi suddenly felt unbearable pain all over her body. She was afraid that she was about to give birth. No one went to invite the imperial physician, but instead sent someone to Chengqian Palace to invite An Lingrong, saying that Concubine Qi was clamoring to see her...

Of course An Lingrong would not go. She sent away the servant who came to invite her and went directly to the Yangxin Palace to explain the situation to the emperor. The emperor asked Xiao Xiazi to invite the imperial physician, and went to Zhongcui Palace with An Lingrong.

When An Lingrong and the Emperor arrived, Concubine Qi had already been held down by several maids, her mouth covered and she could only sob...

"Your Majesty, may you be healthy and well. Your Majesty, may you be healthy and well." When Concubine Duan saw that the emperor had also arrived, her eyes flashed and she quickly opened her mouth and saluted.

"How is Concubine Qi? Why did you cover her mouth?!" Seeing this, An Lingrong quickly scolded them with a look of concern on her face.

"Replying to Her Majesty, Noble Concubine Chen, Noble Lady Qi has been talking nonsense since the afternoon. I was afraid that she would pollute the Emperor's ears, so I used this method." Concubine Duan spoke, looking at the Emperor, her voice trembling slightly.

"Let her go." The emperor frowned and spoke.

"Hahaha, Concubine Duan, tell me! Did you harm my son?! I tell you, if you harm my son, that stupid Third Prince won't be able to become the Crown Prince!

Give me back my son! If anything happens to my son, I will peel off your skin and drink your blood! Hahaha..."

As soon as the silk handkerchief covering her mouth was removed, Concubine Qi stared at Concubine Duan who was struggling and started to speak.

"Your Majesty, I didn't. The other day, Concubine Qi was in a bad mood, and I was the one who accompanied her to comfort her. I don't know what I said to offend Concubine Qi, so she started saying that I was the one who killed her child..." Concubine Duan knelt before the emperor, her eyes filled with tears.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived." Su Peisheng came in to report. The emperor glared at Concubine Duan and raised his hand, and the imperial physicians came in.

"Let's see what happened to Concubine Qi!" The emperor spoke and sat on the Luohan bed. The imperial physician came forward, but Concubine Qi was still struggling hard. The imperial physician could not get close to her at all, let alone take her pulse.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is not cooperating. I'm afraid we need to give her a dose of tranquilizing soup first." Wen Shichu spoke, and the emperor nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, the young lady has not been sleeping well these past few nights, and the calming soup has been prepared." Jingtai stepped forward and spoke. The emperor nodded, and a palace servant brought in the calming soup.

Several maids gave Concubine Qi a calming soup. A quarter of an hour later, Concubine Qi, who should have calmed down, was still very excited.

"Why haven't you quieted down yet?" the emperor asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, this tranquilizing soup should take effect in a short time. Unfortunately, Your Majesty is like this, and I don't know the reason." Wen Shichu stepped forward and spoke with his head down.

"But is there a problem with the tranquilizing soup?" An Lingrong asked. The emperor raised his hand and someone went out to get the medicine residue.

The Chinese medicine doctor looked at the medicine residue, and Meng Zhaoxing and Wen Shichu quickly picked up a few poppy shells that had been cut into small pieces from the medicine residue.
