An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

The next morning, most of the people who came to pay their respects had dark circles under their eyes.

It was rare for Concubine Hua not to go against the Queen. She sat quietly at the bottom, as if staring at the armor on her hand in a daze.

Since the master didn't make any move, Concubine Li and Noble Lady Cao naturally wouldn't cause trouble.

The queen, who was sitting at the top, saw everyone's performance and encouraged them with a smile.

"Sister Yupin is pregnant, which is a great joy for the whole palace. All the sisters must learn from Yupin and give birth to children for the emperor as soon as possible."

"I will follow your Majesty's instructions."

Without waiting for the Queen to lecture her further, Concubine Hua gave a half-bow and said perfunctorily.

"If you have nothing else to do, Queen, I will leave first."

Without waiting for the queen to react, he walked out with his men.

"Alas, Sister Hua Fei is reminded of the past. She..."

"Please be understanding, sisters."

Didn’t you see that the Queen couldn’t do anything to Concubine Hua, so how dare the people below have any opinions?

Before everyone left, the Queen specifically mentioned sending a gift to An Lingrong to congratulate her.

What happened during the morning greeting soon reached An Lingrong's ears.

The Queen lost her temper again and almost said it out loud that Yupin was the only one among her sisters who was pregnant, so she could send dirty things to her as much as she wanted.

"Bao Que, Bao Li, please register everything you brought today and remember to check everything."

"Bao Ge, be sure to pay attention to the small kitchen and don't let anyone take advantage of it."

"Also, tell Xiao Linzi to observe everyone who enters Yonghe Palace today."

"My lady, how can this be possible when you have no one to serve you?"

The three of them rushed to serve him.

"Don't worry, I will transfer Baojuan over."

Bao Ge was the first to jump out and object.

"Your Majesty, Baojuan is a traitor. I saw her enter the gate of Jingren Palace with my own eyes yesterday."

"Relax, Baojuan won't do anything in public. And Baoge, I transferred Baojuan away to give you a chance to investigate what she brought back."

An Lingrong explained in detail and the three of them agreed.

There were not enough people in the palace, and Bao Ge secretly thought that he must develop connections for Yonghe Palace.

Just after the Si hour, Aunt Zhuxi brought the empress dowager's reward and specifically stepped forward to instruct An Lingrong to take good care of her pregnancy.

Then came the rewards from the Emperor and the Empress.

The rewards from the three masters in the palace were like a signal, and gifts from other concubines arrived one after another.

An Lingrong was pregnant and had received numerous rewards. The specially prepared warehouse was already filled with things.

Baoque and Baoli finished the inventory at 3 p.m.

After washing up, the two of them hurried back to report.

"Your Majesty, the silver frost charcoal sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been fumigated with incense, the tonic has been added with blood-activating substances, the curtains have been soaked in musk, and the round beads of the pendants are hidden with pills..."

"The material sent from Jingren Palace is fumigated with musk, the blood swallows are stained with safflower powder, and the bracelet has pills in its inner layer."

"The material sent by the Yikun Palace is old stuff with broken silver and gold threads, along with a small box of children's toys. I've carefully examined it and haven't found any problems so far."

"The rouge box sent from Changchun Palace was soaked in musk..."

......

"Aunt Cui Jinxi from Suiyuxuan sent a piece of fashionable fabric from outside the palace. It has a thread fraying in the middle where it's barely noticeable."

"The pastries sent from Zhongcui Palace were mixed with a small amount of cinnabar."

Not long after, Xiao Linzi also came to report.

"Your Majesty, among the palace servants who came today, three eunuchs had contact with the palace servants, and there was also a palace maid who was interested in the trees in our courtyard."

"Make sure to take note of all the palace people they come into contact with."

"Your Majesty, I have made a note of it."

An Lingrong thought to herself that the women in the palace had probably never been so united.

She was truly honored.

However, after taking the fertility pills, she also took the pregnancy-preserving pills.

The magical pregnancy-preserving pill can isolate all drugs from any harm to the mother and child.

As for the damage caused by external forces, she needs to take care of it herself.

After dinner, Baoge came quietly to report.

"Your Majesty, I found two packets of medicine powder in Baojuan's package. I didn't dare take any of it to avoid alerting the enemy."

"You did well."

Baojuan is a person with deep scheming and is very good at forbearance.

Leaving her in Yonghe Palace would pose a fatal risk.

Thinking that today was the first day of the new year, An Lingrong waved to Baoge.

Before nightfall, Bao Ge returned with news that the Emperor would be staying at Jingren Palace tonight. On her way, she ran into Yu Ying'er from Yimei Garden.

Prince Guo was holding a small portrait of Zhen Huan, so why would Huanbi admit it...

Could it be that twins are...

This was just her guess, and An Lingrong felt that it needed to be verified.

Before going to bed, An Lingrong talked with Bao Ge, Bao Que and Bao Li for a while.

"We've been busy all day, you should all go back and rest early."

Soon, the entire Yonghe Palace fell dark.

Around midnight, there was a noise outside the house.

An Lingrong, who knew exactly what was going on, asked in confusion.

"What's the commotion outside?"

"Reporting to the Majesty, I was half asleep when I noticed Baojuan, my roommate, go out. I followed her and found her sneaking up to the flower pot outside the window."

"Looking closer, I found Baojuan had dug up the soil and was burying something in it."

An Lingrong ordered sternly.

"Take good care of Baojuan, and quickly go get Wei Lin. Tell him I woke up in the middle of the night and felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

She also buried something else in the flowerpot. Regardless of whether the powder Baojuan brought back was problematic or not, she was doomed.

When the Imperial Medical Bureau learned that Concubine Yu was unwell, three imperial physicians, including Wei Lin, rushed over as quickly as possible.

The sharp-eyed Wei Lin was shocked when he saw the palace maid tied up in the yard.

He took An Lingrong's pulse first and said with a serious face.

"Your Majesty is in a state of anxiety. Judging from her pulse, she is frightened. I will prescribe some tranquilizing decoction immediately."

"It's the middle of the night, I need the imperial physician's help."

"Your Majesty, this is my duty."

Wei Lin seemed to have just remembered the two white-bearded imperial doctors who were traveling with him at this time, and he kindly gave some advice.

"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Liu, please excuse me..."

"Your Majesty, although Imperial Physician Wei may be young, his medical skills are well-known in the Imperial Hospital. I feel very relieved to have Imperial Physician Wei diagnose your pulse."

The two of them praised Doctor Wei in unison.

They all sighed in their hearts that it was a good thing that they were old and could not run slowly, otherwise they would have been caught up in the harem game for no reason.

Sure enough, Baoque, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Yu, brought in a tray.

"Doctor Wei, we just caught a palace servant hiding something in a flowerpot. Could you please take a look at what's in this package?"

Wei Lin took the small cloth bag still stained with mud, took out a little bit of powder with two fingers, and put it to the tip of his nose to sniff it.

After a long time, he reported with a sullen face.

"This is a powder packet made from blood-activating herbs. It's been rumored to put pregnant women at risk of miscarriage."
