"Young lady, what you mean is... you suspect someone is using someone else's knife to kill someone?" Yun Ling reacted quickly and immediately understood what Xia Dongchun meant.

Xia Dongchun pursed her lips and said, "That deer was trained by the palace's animal trainer. It is usually very docile. Even if it was unwilling to be touched by Concubine Hua, it would not suddenly go crazy."

Yun Ling frowned: "In my opinion, the most likely person is the Queen."

Not only Yun Ling thought so, but Xia Dongchun also thought so. She was already on guard against the Queen because of what Yun Ling had said to her before. Moreover, the Queen insisted that she go to the Peony Garden this time, using the matter of the Goddess of Fertility.

Plus... Xia Dongchun calmed down now, thinking that the reason why she stood behind Concubine Hua and next to Concubine Qi was because the Queen said that she was pregnant and wanted her to have more blessings. She also said that if she touched the deer early and got blessings, she could go back and rest earlier. That's why she nodded and agreed to stand next to Concubine Qi.

Putting all these things together, Xia Dongchun roughly understood it in his mind.

At this time, Yun Ling remembered something and reminded her, "My lady, I remember that Concubine Hua didn't intend to touch the deer at first, but... later someone seemed to say something, and Concubine Hua changed her mind."

"What?" Xia Dongchun really didn't notice it.

Yun Ling didn't hear it clearly at the time, so she wasn't sure. But at this moment, she couldn't let go of any clues: "I seem to have heard An Da Ying say that the deer is a beast of good fortune, so Concubine Hua wanted to go forward and get some of the good fortune."

"Did you hear it clearly?!" Xia Dongchun didn't even care about the discomfort in her body, and quickly grabbed Yun Ling's hand, "Did An Lingrong really say that?"

If this was really said by An Lingrong, Xia Dongchun didn't think it was a coincidence. An Lingrong was also afraid of Concubine Hua. If she didn't have any plans, why would she suddenly talk to Concubine Hua? I'm afraid she was hiding from Concubine Hua!

"I didn't hear it clearly, but this should be what An Da Ying said, and... and I remember that in her previous life, An Da Ying was good at making incense. I heard people say that if the incense is strong enough, it can even control animals." Yun Ling said, "Plus, the deer suddenly went crazy... I can't help but think more."

Xia Dongchun recalled that Yun Ling had said that in the previous life, An Lingrong was the Queen's person in the end, and she became even more certain that this matter was definitely related to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong... she's really amazing. It's only been a short time since she entered the palace, but she already has such a vicious way of harming people.

The night breeze was cool, no longer as hot as the day. Xia Dongchun sat on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, and clenched her fists: "The emperor doesn't care about this matter. We must find out who hurt us. If it is really An Lingrong... She killed you in her last life, and she wants to harm my child in this life. I will never reconcile with her!"

"Alright, my lady, let's wait until you recover before we talk." Yun Ling tucked the quilt in for her. "Even if you don't do anything right now, the person who is behind you will probably be pissed off to death."

Yes, after all, he wanted to cause Xia Dongchun to have a miscarriage, but unexpectedly the child was born safely. Not only that, Yinzhen also allowed Xia Dongchun to raise the child on her own. Although she was not promoted, she was given a share of the position of a concubine, and promised to promote Xia Dongchun to a concubine after the child's first birthday. Thinking of this, wouldn't the person who wanted to harm Xia Dongchun behind the scenes be furious?

At the same time, Zhen Huan at Bitong Academy couldn't sleep either.

She quietly turned over and glanced at Yinzhen who was lying beside her. The expression of An Lingrong that she saw at that time inevitably emerged in her mind again.

Before entering the palace, Lingrong also lived in Zhen Mansion for a period of time. She knew that Lingrong was a cautious and weak person. She didn't want to doubt Lingrong in the room, but... the look in Lingrong's eyes when she looked into the inner room at that time was really strange.

But she couldn't ask An Lingrong directly about such a matter. If this matter had nothing to do with Lingrong, how would Lingrong deal with it if she asked? But if it was really related to Lingrong, what should she do?

"Wanwan..." Yinzhen suddenly spoke.

Zhen Huan came back to her senses and smiled: "Silang, I'm here."

But Yinzhen was motionless, and only then did Zhen Huan realize that he was talking in his sleep. Her smile became helpless, but also revealed happiness and satisfaction.

……

On the day when Lingyuan was one month old, Yinzhen was very happy and held a full-moon banquet for Lingyuan at Jiuzhou Qingyan. This was also his first daughter after he ascended the throne. In addition, she was born prematurely, so Yinzhen loved this daughter very much and attached great importance to the full-moon banquet.

Xia Dongchun was also in high spirits. Some time ago, Yinzhen showed favor again and allowed her mother He to come to the Old Summer Palace, saying that she could stay there for half a month. This made Xia Dongchun forget about anything else and she was happy for several days in a row.

What Yinzhen meant was that other people would let their mothers enter the palace to accompany their children when they were eight months pregnant. However, Xia Dongchun gave birth prematurely unexpectedly, and suffered repeatedly while she was pregnant with Lingyuan. So even though she had given birth to the child, he still showed mercy and allowed He to come to the Old Summer Palace. He did not leave until five days ago.

Yinzhen and the Queen sat in the upper seats, and all the concubines sat down in order according to the rules. The Queen said, "Your Majesty, today is Lingyuan's full moon. I specially asked people to arrange songs and dances. It is not only to celebrate the full moon for the princess, but also to have fun for everyone."

"Okay, then let the Queen arrange it." Yinzhen said with a smile.

Concubine Hua has been released from house arrest. Seeing Yinzhen so happy for the child, she is unhappy. But she cannot show it too obviously at this moment, otherwise it will prove that she doesn't like the princess and that's why she angered the deer that day and caused Xia Dongchun to give birth prematurely.

Hua Fei glanced at Xia Dongchun and rolled her eyes in her heart. What was she so proud of? If God favored her, she would surely be given a son. If not, she would just be a daughter like Xia Dongchun.

When she has a child in the future, the emperor will be even happier than he is now, and she will give her child the best things in the world. How can Xia Dongchun compare to that?

No matter what everyone was thinking, there was a happy scene on their faces.

At this moment, a clear and beautiful singing voice like that of an oriole was heard. Everyone subconsciously looked towards the door and saw the dancers surrounding a person coming in. The person in the middle was wearing a plain gauze double-breasted Manchu dress with a sky-blue twined branch pattern and her face was covered with gauze. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, her singing voice was indeed first-rate.

Yinzhen, who was drinking, was refreshed, and his hand holding the wine cup stopped in mid-air. This sound...

When the queen saw Yinzhen's reaction, a smile appeared on her face, as if to predict it, but there was also a hint of bitterness in this smile.

But no matter what, she achieved her goal.
