The matter just passed like that. Yinzhen found out about it later, but the queen had already made the decision, so he didn't care about it anymore.

Two days later, Yinzhen indeed asked Su Peisheng to convey the imperial decree, appointing An Lingrong as a concubine.

But An Lingrong didn't know that this was not the Queen's credit, but Yinzhen had always intended to promote An Lingrong and had mentioned it to the Queen two days ago. So the Queen simply went with the flow and told An Lingrong that it was she who proposed it to Yinzhen. Anyway, An Lingrong couldn't ask Yinzhen, right?

Yanxi Palace

Bai Yu came in with a bowl of tonic medicine and saw Noble Lady Fucha embroidering clothes for a child. She smiled and said, "My lady, leave it alone. You might damage your eyes. These things can be done by the servants."

Noble Lady Fucha put down her needlework and stretched her neck. "Is today's tonic ready?"

"Yes, the imperial physician knows that you are pregnant, and he dare not slack off for a moment." Bai Yu put down the medicine, "Drink it while it is hot, the imperial physician said that the medicine will not be effective in protecting the fetus if it is cold."

"No one else knows this prescription, right?" Noble Lady Fucha picked up the medicine bowl and asked in a low voice before drinking.

This was the recipe for giving birth to a son that she had spent a lot of money to find. She showed it to the imperial physician, who said there was no problem with it, so she dared to drink it.

Ever since Sang'er's accident, Noble Fucha's desire to have a son has become more urgent.

In her opinion, as long as she gave birth to a prince this time, with her family background and the fact that this would be the first prince after the emperor ascended the throne, she would definitely be promoted to a concubine because of the son. In this way, she would be the queen and have a son by her side, and she would be able to gain a foothold.

Bai Yu shook her head: "Don't worry, young lady. I know this is a serious matter and I asked the imperial physician. The imperial physician didn't even tell the Empress."

After hearing this, Noble Fucha felt relieved and drank the medicine. Bai Yu quickly handed over the sugar pill and said, "Young Master, please taste it."

Noble Lady Fucha held the sugar pill in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and told Bai Yu: "Pour out all the medicine residue. Don't let anyone see it, especially An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun."

"Yes, I know." Bai Yu picked up the medicine bowl and walked out.

Imperial physician Zhang Mi was waiting outside. When he saw Bai Yu coming out, he looked around and asked, "Young Master, do you suspect anything?"

Bai Yu shook his head: "Sir, please go back to the Imperial Hospital. I'm sorry to trouble the Imperial Doctor to make this trip."

Zhang Mi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally closed it, put away the reluctance in his eyes, turned around and left.

The weather was getting colder with each autumn rain. That night, just after Xia Dongchun had coaxed Ling Yuan to sleep and handed her to her wet nurse, he heard that there was a commotion in Xianfu Palace.

"What's going on?" Xia Dongchun was about to go to bed, but he sat up again after hearing this, "Why did you make such a fuss?"

Yin Zhu replied, "I heard that Concubine Hua took some people to Xianfu Palace and insisted that someone had secretly visited Mrs. Shen, but was stopped by Aunt Fangruo."

"......" Xia Dongchun didn't say anything. After thinking for a long time, he said, "This matter may not be that simple. If Concubine Hua didn't get the news, how could she stay up late at night and suddenly go crazy to Xianfu Palace?"

Yin Zhu stood aside and said nothing.

Yun Ling was helpless: "My lady, please go to sleep first. This matter has nothing to do with us, right? Let them make a fuss as they please. No matter how they make a fuss, whether it succeeds or not, it won't be bad for us, right?"

Xia Dongchun shook her head: "No, think about it, Concubine Hua said that someone visited Shen Meizhuang secretly, who could that person be?"

Yun Ling quickly responded: "Mrs. Wan?"

"Yes, so once Concubine Hua makes a fuss, the Emperor will definitely be angry with Zhen Huan. Not to mention how he will treat her coldly, at least he will not visit Zhen Huan for a period of time. In this way, without Zhen Huan's pillow talk, won't it be possible for Concubine Hua to regain her power to assist in managing the six palaces? Once her power to assist in managing the six palaces is restored, who knows how she will embarrass others." Xia Dongchun felt that his mind had never been so clear.

"But..." Yun Ling wanted to say something, but caught a glimpse of Yin Zhu next to her, so she closed her mouth again.

Fortunately, Yin Zhu didn't know whether she saw it or really thought so, and took the initiative to say: "My lady, if there is no other instruction, I will withdraw first. It's a good opportunity for me to go and inquire about the affairs of Xianfu Palace."

"Okay, you go down first." Xia Dongchun waved his hand.

When Yinzhu went out, he closed the door.

Yun Ling then said to Xia Dongchun, "My lady, don't worry too much. If I remember correctly, the incident when Concubine Hua went to Xianfu Palace and made a scene was probably a plot by Concubine Wan to lure Concubine Hua over there."

Xia Dongchun felt relieved, and then asked with emotion: "What do you think of this silver vermilion?"

Yun Ling glanced outside, then retracted her gaze and answered truthfully, "Yin Zhu is a good servant, and is very attentive to the young master and the princess, and is very considerate."

"Let's take a look at it. If it works, it would be nice to use it properly." Xia Dongchun smiled.

"Alright, my lady, go to sleep." Yun Ling tucked her in. "We can't be late for the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting hosted by the Queen tomorrow."

"I understand." Xia Dongchun lay down obediently.

At the same time, Xianfu Palace was brightly lit and bustling, with the courtyard full of people.

Concubine Hua is confronting Aunt Fangruo.

"I really can't let you in, madam." Fang Ruo knelt on the ground, looking embarrassed. "The emperor has ordered that no one can go in to visit Ms. Shen without the emperor and the queen's order."

"Really?" Concubine Hua was supported by Songzhi, followed by Zhou Ninghai and a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

She lowered her eyes to look at the kneeling Fang Ruo, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Aunt Fang Ruo is really so loyal to her duties? How did I hear that someone secretly visited the confined concubines and flouted the palace rules?"

Fang Ruo looked up at Concubine Hua and really didn't know what to say. Concubine Hua was always arrogant and domineering. If Concubine Hua really went crazy, there would be nothing she could do even if she was a member of the imperial court.

"Get out of the way!" Hua Fei said sternly. She must find something to hold against that bitch Zhen Huan today!

Fang Ruo didn't dare to move aside, nor did she dare to confront Concubine Hua directly, so she could only kneel there and not move.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived——!"

Yinzhen is here.

Originally, Prince Guo was staying in the palace today, and Yinzhen was playing chess with him when he suddenly heard someone report that Concubine Hua had caused a commotion in Xianfu Palace. He couldn't help feeling annoyed, as these people had no peace for a single day.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Yinzhen asked Hua Fei impatiently.

Hua Fei saluted and said, "I pay my respects to His Majesty. I heard that someone had flouted the palace rules and entered the Cunju Hall to visit the confined concubines, so I came to see who was so bold."

"So what did you find out?" Yinzhen asked coldly.

"......" Concubine Hua looked up, a little unsure, "We haven't found anything yet. If Fang Ruo stops us, no one is allowed to enter."

"Good!" Yinzhen suddenly raised his voice, startling Concubine Hua, "You are worthy of being my servant."

Fang Ruo also said at this time: "The emperor has ordered that this servant dare not let Concubine Hua in."

"You did a good job." Yinzhen praised. Fangruo lowered her head and stepped aside.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty and to Concubine Hua."

At this moment, Zhen Huan and Jingpin came out together. Hua Fei's pupils shrank, as if she didn't expect Zhen Huan was not in Cunju Hall, but was with Jingpin instead: "Why are you here?"

"Where should I be otherwise?" Zhen Huan met Concubine Hua's gaze with a smile.
