An Lingrong thought this was a good idea. She was not active by nature, and she could sensitively sense that Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang seemed to have some distance between them and her. This was a good opportunity for her to stay away from them.

Before An Lingrong had time to rejoice, news came from the previous dynasty that her father An Bihuai was involved in the loss of food and fodder.

An Lingrong was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She went to beg Zhen Huan crying, but the other party didn't give her a definite answer. An Lingrong could only return to her own courtyard in despair. After hesitating for a long time, she finally went to beg Su Tong.

Su Tong tapped the table lightly. "An Changzai, I have heard a little about your father's affairs, but do you really want to rescue him? I heard that your father favored his concubines over his wife, and your mother's life has become even more difficult after you entered the palace. If you let your father go back, how long do you think your mother can hold on?"

Hearing this, An Lingrong's face changed drastically and she pinched her handkerchief tightly, "No, when I enter the palace, my father will definitely treat my mother well for my sake."

Su Tong sneered softly, "Don't you know what kind of person your own father is? How could such a selfish person treat his original wife well?

Never mind. I just feel sorry for you, so I want to give you a little advice.

For some people, it is better to be dead than alive, because at least they won’t have to commit evil deeds after they die.”

An Lingrong shed tears, "He is my biological father after all. I can't just watch him die. I hope that the queen can show me a way out."

Su Tong still likes the incense made by An Lingrong very much, and the things supplemented in the previous worlds have been almost used up. It is a good opportunity for An Lingrong to make more this time and come up with a few more recipes.

Su Tong sighed and asked the maid beside him to help the man up. "Forget it, don't cry anymore. Your father's crime is not a big deal, so you should not lose your composure and cause trouble for your father."

Su Tong told An Lingrong the whole story and patted her hands. "I have some friendship with the Imperial Concubine. Since your father was imprisoned because of the grain issue, I will go and ask the Imperial Concubine for help. Maybe I can rescue your father.

At the same time, you should not be idle, the emperor's attitude is the most important, but you are not asking for mercy for your father, but asking the emperor to order a severe punishment for your father, so as to show your integrity. "

An Lingrong nodded in a daze, and then she realized that she had taken a detour when she went to ask Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang for mercy. "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."

Su Tong brought some exquisite toys that little girls liked to see Concubine Hua. After a few words of advice, the other party was willing to help. However, she was not doing so because she was in a good mood, but because she wanted to leave a way out for her daughter.

After Hua Guifei regained consciousness, she understood what it meant to see a tall building rise and then collapse. The emperor's methods were clearly there. At the beginning, she was obsessed with love, so she did not see the emperor's true face. All this was just flattery.

Concubine Hua doesn't care about anyone but her daughter whom she gave birth to with great difficulty. Thinking that Su Tong has a little prince, she wants to find a way out for her daughter.

The two of them reached a tacit understanding. Su Tong returned to his own palace, and after An Lingrong apologized to the emperor, she stayed obediently in her own palace under house arrest. Sure enough, just after a month, An Bihuai was released.

Su Tong wrote a letter to his family members, asking them to transfer An Bihuai to a remote county town. At the same time, he also brought An Bihuai's wife and Aunt Xiao out and settled them in a small courtyard. He also assigned a few maids to serve them. Their life was better than at home. At least they didn't have to worry about the faces of those concubines.

The Queen originally wanted to take this opportunity to win over An Lingrong, but Su Tong did not want to have the Queen's minions in her palace, so he won him over in time. The Queen could only sigh in despair, thinking it was a pity to waste such a good helper.

After Shen Meizhuang learned that the matter was resolved, she simply sent someone to deliver some things to An Lingrong, in order to preserve the friendship between the two parties.

An Lingrong had an indifferent expression. After having the things put away, she stayed in her side hall with peace of mind to prepare and make incense.

Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy was eventually discovered, but this time Concubine Hua had already made plans. She first asked the imperial physician to send a prescription for pregnancy. In fact, it was just some simple medicinal herbs for conditioning the body. It seemed that there was no problem, but Shen Meizhuang took some other medicinal herbs...

This medicinal herb was mixed into the diet, and Shen Meizhuang was completely unaware of it. After such a conflict, Shen Meizhuang's menstruation was delayed, which resulted in a false pregnancy.

Moreover, Shen Meizhuang had her period in front of everyone. When the emperor saw it, he thought she had miscarried, and quickly called the imperial physician to take her pulse. It turned out that she was not pregnant at all, but had eaten something that delayed her period.

Shen Meizhuang knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I really didn't fake my pregnancy to win your favor. I am really pregnant..."

The emperor was extremely disappointed. He had been looking forward to this child so much that he even planned to make Shen Meizhuang a concubine after she gave birth to the child. If it was a little prince, he would give her a title of consort. However, Shen Meizhuang was not worthy of his trust.

Regardless of whether Shen Meizhuang was really pregnant or just pretending, this incident ultimately brought shame to the royal family. Not only was she stripped of her title, she was even demoted to a concubine and was confined to house arrest for a year.

The Imperial Medical Bureau didn't do anything wrong this time. After all, the medicinal herbs they prescribed were for nourishing the body, the medicines were all there, and they didn't harm anyone.

The emperor simply sent people to beat them with dozens of sticks and then fined them half a year's salary.

Zhen Huan didn't know how to deal with it. The main reason was that the prescription was indeed real, but Mei Jie's matter was really a bit confusing. Could it be that the other party really faked pregnancy in order to win favor?

The matter was ultimately left unresolved. After all, Concubine Hua did not leave any handle for anyone this time. By the way, she also taught Shen Meizhuang a lesson and made her understand what it meant to be law-abiding.

In fact, the concubines in the palace are not fools. There are too many traps here, and only people like Shen Meizhuang will walk into the trap without hesitation.

After Concubine Jing learned about this, she simply said it was a pity, then put the matter behind her and continued to take care of her children.

The emperor was indeed depressed after the death of Shen Meizhuang. As a result, within less than half a month, three concubines in the harem were found to be pregnant.

"Lipin is pregnant too? This is a great joyous event, and we should really treat her well.

As for Concubine Shen and Concubine Xia, since both of them are pregnant, they should stay in their own palaces and take good care of their pregnancies. By the way, you can also invite a few more imperial doctors to check on them."
