I can’t sleep at night without Sister Mei.

In fact, An Lingrong couldn't sleep because of the pain, and the twist just now seemed to have made it even worse!

Su Ye took the medicinal wine and wiped An Lingrong's face. "My lady, this medicine was given by the Emperor. I heard it's very effective. You should stay in bed for the next few days!"

The flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, it's a pity to waste such a good time.

A few days later, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang came to the Yanx Palace to visit An Lingrong.

Seeing the swelling on my ankle gradually subsiding, I feel relieved.

Seeing that Zhen Huan looked unhappy, Shen Meizhuang asked with concern, "Huan'er, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhen Huan said, "I've caught a cold these past few days and haven't been feeling well."

An Lingrong secretly thought that this was not good. It seemed that Yu had already taken action and was looking for an excuse to go to Suiyuxuan!

The next morning, An Lingrong used the excuse of admiring flowers to pester Su Ye to take her to the Imperial Garden. Su Ye had no choice but to support her to the Imperial Garden with Xiao Luzi, one on each side.

After admiring the flowers for a while, An Lingrong deliberately waited on the road that Zhen Huan had to take to pay her respects and return to the palace.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhen Huan came out.

Seeing An Lingrong waving at her from afar, Zhen Huan quickly walked over to her side and asked, "Why did you come out? Doesn't your foot hurt anymore?"

An Lingrong pretended to be relaxed and said, "Sister, I'm bored, so I came to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. Now I'm a little hungry and want to eat some snacks made by Liu Zhu. Why don't we go to your palace?"

"Okay." Zhen Huan held her arm and slowly walked towards Sui Yuxuan.

"Where's Sister Mei?"

"Sister Mei went to Concubine Hua's palace."

Xiao Yunzi had already run back to the palace, and when the two of them came back, Liu Zhu's dim sum had just come out of the pot.

The mung bean cake on the plate was neatly shaped, light yellow in color, and smooth and dense. An Lingrong took a bite and found it fragrant, soft, and not sticky. It was sweet but not greasy, fragrant and delicious. Some candied osmanthus added to the cake enriched the taste, making it a refreshing and cooling summer treat.

"this is delicious!"

Seeing An Lingrong eating so sweetly, Zhen Huan smiled dotingly.

"My lady, it's time to take your medicine!" Jin Xi held the medicine, passed it in front of An Lingrong, and handed it to Zhen Huan.

An Lingrong deliberately took a deep breath, "Sister, there's something wrong with your medicine. Why does it taste sour? I remember Doctor Wen's wind-cold medicine didn't have a sour taste."

This one sentence made Zhen Huan's alarm bells ring.

"Su Ye, my feet hurt a little. Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Wen to come and take a look at me." An Lingrong held Zhen Huan's hand and spoke first.

"Sister, don't alert the enemy yet."

Zhen Huan nodded.

After a while, Wen Shichu arrived and took a silver needle to prick the tiger's mouth, and the silver needle immediately turned blue.

"My dear, someone has increased the dosage of one of the herbs in the medicine. If you take it for a long time, you will become mentally fatigued and often sleepy. Within six months, you will become mentally unstable and almost demented."

"You really think highly of me, and you actually use such a clever method to deal with me."

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no harm has been done to the young master's body."

"Sister, you should investigate the people in the palace carefully." An Lingrong said this and stopped talking. She couldn't interfere too much. The eldest heroine had to grow up on her own!

Sure enough, a few days later, the emperor issued an edict to sentence Yu to death.

That night, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang came to the Yanx Palace and explained the whole story in detail.

"Sister, I'm afraid this matter hasn't been completely resolved yet." An Lingrong seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yu is just an orphan. How could she have the money to bribe eunuchs and palace maids, and how could she know about pharmacology?" Shen Meizhuang said firmly, "She is Concubine Hua's."

"Concubine Hua shouldn't directly contact Yu to do things, who could it be?" Zhen Huan thought carefully.

"Fishing in troubled waters."

“How do you muddy the water?”

“If you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night.”

Several people finalized the plan, and Zhen Huan was responsible for its implementation.

An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang, who was fanning herself beside her. "Sister, you seem much calmer. I thought you would be very angry and scared!"

"You two are resourceful and have everything under control. What do I have to be afraid of?" Shen Meizhuang felt much more at ease when she saw that the two of them had solved the problem in just a few words.

After a few days, the news of the haunted palace spread like wildfire.

An Lingrong continued to recuperate.

It was a windy and rainy day, and An Lingrong lay on the couch listening to the sound of the rain.

"Everyone says Jiangnan is beautiful, but visitors should grow old there. The spring water is bluer than the sky, and I sleep on a painted boat listening to the rain."

This poem is quite in line with the mood at this time.

"Rong'er, are you missing home?" Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang came over with a smile.

"My two sisters, what happened?" An Lingrong asked anxiously.

"Princess Li has been taken back to the palace by the Queen!" Zhen Huan recounted what happened on the long street.

An Lingrong hesitated.

Zhen Huan saw her expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, I'm afraid Concubine Hua won't just sit there and wait for death. She has Cao Qinmo by her side. Besides, Concubine Li has gone crazy. Everyone knows that the words of a madman cannot be trusted."

Both of them were silent.

"I spent so much effort, but only managed to defeat Concubine Li. I'm really unwilling to accept this." Shen Meizhuang slammed the table.

"Sister, be careful, your hand might hurt." An Lingrong quickly took her hand and pretended to blow on it.

This action made Shen Meizhuang laugh.

Zhen Huan also understood that with their current strength, they were not enough to shake Concubine Hua. "The tree is big and has deep roots, so we can only take it slow."

The Yiku Palace was filled with fragrance.

Cao Qinmo sat in the hall with her hair disheveled.

"Tell me quickly, what else can we do now!" Hua Fei shouted anxiously.

Cao Qinmo held Wen Yi in her arms, patting her gently to soothe her to sleep. "The only solution now is for Her Majesty to go and see the Queen Mother!"

"Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a member of the Queen's family. Aren't you seeking death by asking me to go find her?" Concubine Hua was a little exasperated.

"Ask the Empress Dowager for help. First, this will clear the Empress from suspicion. Second, if the Emperor hears Lipin's crazy talk, he might think you're a cruel and ruthless person, and you'll lose the Emperor's favor!"

In the emperor's heart, she has always been dignified and sensible, and Hua Fei does not want the emperor to see her vicious side.

I went to the Cining Palace overnight.

The next morning, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree.

Concubine Li was deposed and sent to the cold palace. Concubine Hua was ill and needed to recuperate. The affairs of the harem were handed over to the Queen, with Shen Meizhuang as her assistant.

This can be considered as an explanation to Zhen Huan!

When Yongzheng heard about this, he doted on Zhen Huan even more.
