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

Chapter 69: The Harem Living Environment is Dangerous

"You are now busy serving the emperor, so how can you have time to do needlework? I will ask Cai Xingfeng to send you some silver later. Aunt An's medicine cannot be stopped." Shen Meizhuang also said. "When you are well-off in the future, you can pay me back."

"In that case, I still have many high-quality medicinal herbs brought from the Zhen Mansion in my warehouse. I will pick out some that are good for eye diseases and ask Juqing to send them to you. I heard from you last time that the medicine Aunt An takes is expensive and costly, so you should not carry it all by yourself."

Because in this life, Concubine Hua arranged Baoque for An Lingrong when she entered the palace, Zhen Huan did not assign Juqing to serve An Lingrong, and now Juqing is still with Zhen Huan.

Hua Fei didn't know that An Lingrong later turned evil and suspected Ju Qing, and poisoned Ju Qing to death, and she also didn't know that she had saved a life in the dark.

"My two sisters have treated me so well, I have no way to repay them." An Lingrong's eyes were filled with tears.

An Lingrong listened to Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan saying that every word was thoughtful for her. Although she was moved, the feeling of humility in her heart began to grow and spread.

Why does she still need support from others even though she is the emperor's favorite concubine?

Why can Zhen Huan live so comfortably and peacefully even though she hasn't even entered the emperor's bedchamber yet?

The confidence that the Zhen family gave Zhen Huan was something she would never have in her entire life.

Seeing that An Lingrong was about to get up from the stool and kneel down, Caiyue, Huanbi and Zhen Huan all leaned over to help her.

"What are you doing? The three of us sisters entered the palace together, isn't it our duty to support each other?" Zhen Huan said.

"Besides, you are now the emperor's favorite concubine. If you are favored, we will also benefit from it. Isn't Yu, who caused me to fall, still under house arrest?" Shen Meizhuang also comforted her.

Ling Rong is good in every way except that she is sometimes too sensitive and overthinking. But it is not her fault. She comes from such a family and her father is a locust who sucks blood from his daughter. It is not easy for Ling Rong to have the current situation. Let's wait and see what happens in the future.

"What the two sisters said is true. When Sister Mei gives birth to the little prince, no one in the harem will dare to bully us."

An Lingrong was helped by Baojuan and Baoque to sit back on the stool. She had previously taken into consideration Baojuan's presence and half-concealedly told Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan about her mother's encounter with a good doctor who could cure her eyes. Unexpectedly, they both took it to heart.

Since the last time Shen Meizhuang fell, An Lingrong also realized that Shen, Zhen and Concubine Hua all had a good relationship, and she became more determined to follow Concubine Hua in the palace fight. Thinking of this, An Lingrong remembered the fragrance she smelled under the crabapple flowers just now.

"Look how anxious you are. The baby is only three months old and you haven't even shown any signs of pregnancy yet. How do you know whether it's a boy or a girl?" Shen Meizhuang smiled when she heard others mention her child.

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, we will love them and cherish them as soon as they are born. Lingrong, don't you think so?"

"Sister Wan is absolutely right. Since you just said you would pack some herbs for me, I won't be polite. Please ask Miss Huanbi to take Baoque and Baojuan to get them. I have to send some things to my mother in a few days." An Lingrong made up her mind.

Having just eaten the melon leaves, Baojuan didn’t dare to resist An Lingrong outside and could only follow her out.

"Huanbi, take them there." Zhen Huan was also very perceptive. Seeing that An Lingrong wanted to say something, she also told Huanbi to pack the herbs.

Huanbi took Baojuan and Baoque out.

"What's wrong, but do you have something to say?"

"Yes. Just now, when the two sisters were standing under the crabapple blossoms, I smelled a fragrance and felt strange. Crabapple blossoms have no fragrance. I thought the fragrance was the perfumed powder used by the two sisters, but when we came in, I didn't smell that fragrance. My sister had doubts in her heart, so she said it out."

"Now that I'm pregnant, I can't use perfume. Huan'er is not someone who likes perfume. Did you smell that smell wrong?" Shen Meizhuang wondered.

When Zhen Huan heard An Lingrong's words, she immediately thought of the few pieces of male musk deer that she dug out from under the crabapple tree in Sui Yuxuan last year. So much time has passed, is the smell still there?

An Lingrong noticed that Zhen Huan's expression was not right, and immediately confirmed her guess: "Sister Wan, do you have anything to say?"

In this life, An Lingrong was the first to be honest.

Zhen Huan saw An Lingrong looking at her with sincerity and frankness, and then turned her eyes to Shen Meizhuang who was full of doubts, and then she said it out loud.

"Last winter, Pei'er from my palace found ants circling around a certain spot under the crabapple blossoms, so I asked Xiao Yunzi to dig in the flower bed. Unexpectedly, we dug out an oil-paper bag filled with a very strong musk."

"Musk?" Shen Meizhuang was even more confused. Since entering the palace, she was first favored, then learned about the affairs of the six palaces, and then became pregnant. The only thing was that a woman named Yu tripped her and she was confined to her house. Shen Meizhuang had never seen the dirty tricks in the harem.

"I asked Doctor Wen to see her. He said that if a pregnant woman uses musk, she will have a miscarriage, and if a non-pregnant woman uses musk, she will become infertile." Zhen Huan explained.

Shen Meizhuang was a little frightened when she heard the word "miscarriage", but after all, she was going to be a mother, so she calmed down after calming herself down.

"But you discovered the musk, so why did Lingrong still smell that scent?"

"My father was in the spice business before he entered the court as an official. Since I was a child, our home has been filled with various spices. I can tell what a spice is just by smelling it from a distance. Perhaps the musk smell is too strong and a little bit of it has leaked into the soil."

An Lingrong explained that she did smell a faint aroma, but if she was not familiar with the smells of various spices, she would not have dared to speak rashly.

"Thanks to you, it seems that the miscarriage of Concubine Fang who lived here before was not an accident." Although Shen Meizhuang had not experienced any ups and downs, she knew that the living environment in the harem was dangerous. She immediately thought of Concubine Fang who lived in the servant's mouth.

"Yes, that's what I thought of after I found the musk. I didn't tell you at the time because I was afraid that you two would worry about me."

"What are you talking about, sister? If you have something, sister Mei and I need to know. Otherwise, how can we advance and retreat together?"

"Lingrong is right. You should have let us know at that time. This Suiyuxuan is already remote, and that bastard Kang Luhai is hooking up with Concubine Li. There is also musk buried under the crabapple tree. It is obviously not an auspicious place. I'd better report to the emperor and ask him to find you another place to live." Shen Meizhuang was very straightforward in front of Zhen Huan.

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would do that. Just digging out a bag of musk doesn't prove anything. Even if you told the emperor, what would happen? I thought Lingrong would be afraid of musk, but I didn't expect Lingrong to be familiar with spices. If I had known, I would have asked you to check it out for me."

Zhen Huan explained why she didn't tell them at the time.
