An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan who was sitting beside her. Zhen Huan was also only looking at the armor in her hand. It seemed that her thoughts were not here at all...

"Are you, Concubine Yi, envious of Concubine Huan? You are so young and so favored, but why don't you seem to be pregnant?" Concubine Hua curled her lips and suddenly said this. All the concubines looked at An Lingrong.

"What are you saying, Empress Hua? Isn't Empress Hua envious?" An Lingrong looked at Empress Hua with a faint smile.

"What is there for me to envy? If fate favors me, I will definitely be blessed with a son. If not, I don't know if I can give birth to a child. Queen, don't you agree?"

Concubine Hua looked at the Queen. The Queen's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal and continued to smile without saying a word.

"Empress Hua is right. Whether or not we can give birth, and what the baby will be, are all matters for the future. But if we want to have a future, we have to get pregnant first, right? What does the Empress say?" An Lingrong smiled and looked at the Empress, who nodded towards An Lingrong with satisfaction.

"How outrageous!" Concubine Hua was extremely angry and looked at An Lingrong coldly.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. As Your Majesty said, You have always been blessed by Heaven. Heaven will surely give You a son."

An Lingrong looked at Hua Fei with an extremely sincere gaze. Because of what she said, Hua Fei couldn't refute her anymore. She just glared at An Lingrong with her eyes and ignored her.

"Well, the emperor has few children. The other day the empress dowager ordered me to summon the imperial physicians. They prescribed warming and nourishing medicines for you all according to your physical conditions. You should all go back and drink a few doses of them. Take good care of your bodies and have children for the emperor..."

The queen said this, raising her hand and pressing her temple. She hadn't worked hard in recent days, but she still felt that her headache was coming back. She really couldn't worry any more now...

"If there is nothing else, let's go." The Queen raised her hand, Jianqiu hurried forward to support the Queen, and all the concubines stood up to see her off respectfully.

After leaving Jingren Palace, An Lingrong and Noble Lady Fucha walked at the end. They looked at Huanbi's increasingly heavy body and shook their heads.

"Who do you think wrote this?" Noble Lady Fucha asked An Lingrong.

"Can't you see? Whoever needs a child without a mother the most is the one who did it." The two talked as they walked.

"You are really capable today. After all, you are the most favored one. Even Concubine Hua dares to fight with you."

Noble Lady Fucha looked at An Lingrong, and An Lingrong couldn't help thinking: How can I compare to you? In the previous life, when Fucha was pregnant, no one dared to say a few words to her, let alone Concubine Hua...

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?" Seeing that An Lingrong was just looking at her and smiling, Noble Lady Fucha pulled her and asked.

"Nothing? She targets me everywhere. I am also a flesh and blood person. How can I keep tolerant of her?" An Lingrong replied, and the two of them walked into Zhenshunzhai hand in hand.

"She has always been very capable, aren't you afraid?" When they entered the room, breakfast had already been served, and they washed their hands and sat down.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just death anyway." After An Lingrong finished speaking, she continued in her mind: And we don't even know who will be dying!

"What are you talking about? You and I will live a hundred years." Fucha Guiren put down the spoon and patted the table a few times.

"Sister is right. You and I will live a long life." An Lingrong smiled and handed a piece of walnut cake to Noble Lady Fucha.

At nightfall that day, An Lingrong was leaning on the bed reading a newly arrived sketchbook and was about to fall asleep when Zhan'er suddenly jumped in through the window.

"Ah..." Ju Qing was about to speak when Zhan'er covered her mouth.

"Zhan'er, how did you get in through the window?" An Lingrong asked. Zhan'er had already let go of her hand, but Juqing was still in a daze.

"I saw a palace maid acting suspiciously at the door, so I knocked her out with a palm strike, and found aphrodisiac and poisonous incense on her." Zhan'er said as he took out a long tube and two incense pills from his arms.

"Where is that person?" An Lingrong asked.

"I'm dizzy, I'm just in the corner outside the palace!" Zhan Er looked at An Lingrong with a smile, as if to say, just tell me how powerful I am...

"Xiao Zhongzi, quickly find someone to check it out. Bring a rope and tie her up. Juqing, quickly change her clothes for me." An Lingrong stood up and Juqing hurriedly helped An Lingrong put on her coat. Xiao Zhongzi, who was guarding outside, received the order and sent someone to get the person.

When An Lingrong arrived, Xiao Zhongzi and a few others were standing in an empty corner. There was nothing there... An Lingrong looked at Zhan'er.

"That's not right. My palm strike should have made her fall asleep for an hour." Zhan'er said. An Lingrong asked Juqing to hold the lamp closer and took a closer look. It should be that someone else came and took the palace maid away...

"Zhan'er, do you remember what that palace maid looked like?" An Lingrong opened her mouth and saw Zhan'er shaking his head.

"I didn't turn on the light, so I didn't see her face clearly." Zhan'er looked regretful. Luying had just reminded her the day before that she should think three steps ahead before doing anything. Now, let alone three steps, she couldn't even think of two steps.

"My lady, it was my negligence. Please punish me." Zhan'er said as he was about to kneel down and apologize.

"Hurry up and get up. What's the punishment? If you hadn't discovered it, Juqing and I would have died in our sleep today." Seeing her regretful look, An Lingrong couldn't bear to punish her.

After hearing this, Juqing hurriedly helped Zhan'er up. Zhan'er was so grateful that he kept saying thank you, young master.

There were only physical evidence but no witnesses, so there was no way to investigate. Even if she didn't investigate, she knew who had done it. Even if that person had irrefutable evidence, he might not be able to convict her, not to mention that there was nothing...

An Lingrong lay back on the bed, looking at the curtains above, unable to sleep for a long time...

The next day, there was a dark circle under An Lingrong's eyes. After washing up, she asked Juqing to call Mixia.

"Young Master." Mi Xia came in and called out to An Lingrong.

"Juqing, go guard outside and don't let anyone get close." An Lingrong ordered, and Juqing responded and walked out.

"Mixia, you are like this..." An Lingrong asked Mixia to come closer, and then took out a prescription from the drawer and handed it to Mixia. Mixia listened to the order and looked at An Lingrong and said, "My lady, I will get this done even if I risk my life."

"Don't say that. Just do as I say. There's no need for us to take action." An Lingrong spoke and Mi Xia nodded.

Everyone has weaknesses and obsessions. The most painful thing for a person is the obsession of not being able to get it, and there is something even more painful than that, which is to get it and then lose it...

Things were arranged, and Mi Xia rarely showed up as usual, and an old woman over fifty years old was sent to the koi pond near Yikun Palace to serve the flowers and plants...

When the snow fell, An Lingrong saw the emperor looking at the snow outside the window, and she knew who he was thinking of again, so she said:

"Your Majesty, the other day I and Noble Lady Fucha passed by Yimei Garden and saw that the red plum blossoms were in full bloom. Now that the snow has stopped outside, the scenery must be extremely beautiful. How about Your Majesty accompany me to take a look and pick a few branches to put in the vase?"
