This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

"Your humble servant Wen Shichu pays homage to Lady Wan and Lady An."

"Your humble servant Wei Lin pays respect to Lady Wan and Lady An."

When I entered the Sui Yuxuan, I saw Zhen Huan and An Lingrong already waiting quietly in the main hall.

An Lingrong didn't expect Wei Lin to come.

It seems that this Sui Yuxuan is really highly valued.

"Thank you, Lord Wen and Lord Wei, for coming all the way here so early in the morning." Zhen Huan asked them to stand up.

"It's okay, are you feeling unwell, young master?"

"I would like to ask Lord Wen to check for me why I haven't gotten pregnant yet." Lady Wan did not directly ask Wen Shichu to check if there was anything wrong with the quilt.

Wen Shichu responded and asked Wei Lin to take out a wrist pillow from the medicine box. Zhen Huan hung her wrist on it, covered it with a handkerchief, and let Wen Shichu feel her pulse.

Wen Shichu frowned and took the patient's pulse carefully, but found no clues.

"My dear, you are in good health and there is nothing wrong with you. Perhaps you are not destined to have children yet. Please be patient and wait."

"Really?" Zhen Huan withdrew her wrist and said in a light tone. As expected, she could not find any problems.

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan, but saw that there was no sadness or joy on Zhen Huan's face.

Because An Lingrong was paying attention to Zhen Huan, she didn't notice that Wei Lin's eyes fell on her.

I haven't seen Miss An for a long time. Today, Miss An seems to be a little better looking.

"Please help me check if there is any problem with this quilt, Lord Wen?" Zhen Huan winked at Liu Zhu and took out the brocade quilt from the box.

Liuzhu placed the quilt on the couch for Wen Shichu to check.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong stood aside waiting for Wen Shichu's outcome.

Wei Lin and Wen Shichu turned the quilt over and took a look, then put it to their noses and sniffed it carefully. Similarly, they also reached their hands into the hole and explored it, then pulled out a handful of cotton, put it in front of their eyes to look at it carefully, and smelled it again.

The master and the disciple looked at each other and made up their minds.

"What do you have to say?" Zhen Huan couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's because of this quilt that you haven't gotten pregnant. I'm an incompetent official and didn't notice it before." Wen Shichu looked guilty.

An Lingrong felt that Wen Shichu was too fussy and always had to beat around the bush when speaking. No wonder Sister Wan looked down on him. Only Sister Mei, who spoke in such a leisurely manner, could be fond of this nagging man.

"Is there any musk?" An Lingrong couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Yes, Master An."

An Lingrong: Are you squeezing toothpaste?

"Then why can't I see musk?" An Lingrong asked.

Zhen Huan frowned, worrying whether the musk would cause infertility in her body.

"My Lord, it's probably because someone soaked the brocade, silk thread, and cotton with musk before sewing this quilt."

"During the soaking process, other flowers and plants such as lilies and gardenias were added and mixed together, so this quilt has a unique fragrance that is difficult for ordinary people to detect."

Wei Lin noticed An Lingrong's anxiety. Thinking of An Lingrong's ability in blending perfume, he was afraid that she would be able to smell the musk in it just by sniffing it, so he came to them to confirm the source.

It was obvious that Master An was getting anxious when she heard his master's hesitation.

So Wei Lin quickly revealed the secret.

Thinking back to when he and Lady An were discussing the recipe for Xiji Pills, they had a heated argument, with Lady An asking questions one after another. How could he be so slow?

"What a sophisticated workmanship! It's exactly the same as the poisoned medicine jar." Wei Lin confirmed what Zhen Huan was thinking, and Zhen Huan couldn't help but sneer.

"The musk content is not high, and this quilt has to be put in the sun to dry from time to time, so when I checked your pulse on weekdays, I didn't find any traces of musk in your body."

"So, I have been favored for so long but have never been pregnant." Zhen Huan said lightly while looking at the brocade quilt.

"Yes, although the musk content is relatively low, it is indeed difficult to get pregnant if you use it all the time."

"Sister didn't use that quilt in the previous summer?" An Lingrong wondered.

"Conception requires the right time, right place and right people. I guess the young lady really didn't have the chance during that period. Then when winter came, she used this quilt, and then..." Wen Shichu was hesitant to speak.

"I understand. Thank you, Lord Wen and Lord Wei, for clearing up my confusion. Please keep today's events a secret for me."

"Your humble servant and the master are of the same mind as the two young ladies." Wei Lin answered first.

An Lingrong didn't think there was anything unusual in what she heard.

Her doubts had been resolved and she had no other thoughts. She just let Sister Wan handle the rest.

I think the same method was used to make the brocade quilt in my own Yanxi Palace.

"Liu Zhu, please send the two imperial doctors out for me." Zhen Huan asked Liu Zhu to send the two imperial doctors out.

Before leaving, Wen Shichu told Zhen Huan that if she wanted to get pregnant, he could try a different prescription for her to preserve her pregnancy.

Zhen Huan politely declined. As the incident happened suddenly, Zhen Huan was not in a hurry to get pregnant.

Zhen Huan thought of Jinghe, whom Shen Meizhuang almost lost, and Noble Lady Fucha's previous pregnancy. There were many things to worry about, and she wanted to see if Noble Lady Fucha could give birth safely first.

"Actually, my sister also has this brocade quilt. It was given to me by the Empress Dowager herself on the day I was favored by the Empress." An Lingrong said lightly.

Zhen Huan listened to the conversation and looked at An Lingrong, "So, we are all..."

"That may not be the case. The quilt has passed through many hands, and it is possible that someone else may have tampered with it." Zhen Huan has always been meticulous.

"Sister is right, so I thought there was something wrong with the quilt, but I didn't say anything. I just put it away because it was useless."

"But this palace is full of dangers. A quilt can make us infertile. If we really get pregnant one day, I'm afraid we will attract more attention." Zhen Huan clutched the corner of the table angrily.

"Yes. My sister didn't want to get pregnant at all. Although I didn't use that quilt, I asked Doctor Wei to replace the pregnancy-preserving medicine with a contraceptive decoction." An Lingrong talked about her previous actions as if nothing had happened.

"Lingrong, you..." Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong in surprise. She found that the girl who was timid in the previous selection because she offended Xia Dongchun was really different now.

"Sister, I am different from you. You have a good family background and noble character. Not only do you have the emperor's favor, but you also have a friendship with the emperor."

"But I am ruthless to the Emperor."

An Lingrong drank the tea with a smile on her face. The Pu'er tea from Suiyuxuan was really good. She could ask Sister Wan to pack some for her before leaving.

"Why are you the same as Sister Mei..."

For the first time, Zhen Huan felt that An Lingrong was more rational and sober than herself.

"Our emperor is not a man who will always show his affection. Lingrong wants to advise you today not to give your heart to him."

"After all, it wasn't the emperor who harmed you and me. I don't think the emperor knows the twists and turns here." Zhen Huan hesitated when she thought of the emperor.
