When Fubao heard Zhenpin's crying in the delivery room, her heart trembled suddenly and she lifted the curtain and rushed in.

"Master! Did you hear that? The Emperor has appointed you as a concubine. You are now qualified to raise the Ninth Prince. You..."

"Master! Please wake up..."

Seeing this, Liu Renhou asked An Lingrong for permission and then stepped into the delivery room again.

Not long after, he reported with a heavy face.

"Empress Shu, Concubine He... have already passed away."

"Okay, I understand."

An Lingrong arranged the next steps in an orderly manner.

"Bao Ge, send someone to the Yangxin Palace to inform the emperor immediately."

The funeral of concubines was handled by the Imperial Household Department, and the standards were decided by the emperor.

"Madams, please take good care of the Ninth Prince. If there are any difficulties, please report them immediately."

"Everyone else go back and rest."

Hearing the bursts of crying coming from behind her, An Lingrong couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Suddenly she wanted to go back to Yongshou Palace and have a good sleep.

Concubine Hua caught up from behind. Seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and asked.

"Lingrong, what should we do with Concubine He's child? It seems to me that Concubine Qi is interested in raising him."

An Lingrong kept walking, her tone calm.

"That depends on the Emperor's wishes."

That child is a hot potato. Anyone who tries to take him back will be in big trouble. It is better to let the emperor make the decision.

An Lingrong already had a plan in mind. She planned to send a trusted nanny to look after the child before the emperor gave any order, so as to prevent the emperor from blaming her for not doing her best.

"Don't worry, with Concubine Zhen here, the child will definitely not fall into Concubine Qi's hands."

"Sister Nian, you must be tired after working so hard for most of the day. You should go back and rest."

Concubine Hua smiled awkwardly, "Lingrong, Anle is still in your palace."

She had specifically told Songzhi in the morning that if Anle wanted to rest with Zhaohua, she should not force him to go back.

This Anle stayed with Zhaohua and didn't go back.

Lingrong was a delicate and weak girl, and she had long wanted to stay overnight in Yongshou Palace.

After waiting for so long, she finally got the chance.

Before Concubine Hua could express her thoughts, An Lingrong, who was a head shorter than her, nodded in understanding.

"An Le always needed Sister Nian to accompany her to sleep. Yesterday's incident happened suddenly, and I couldn't see you for a while, so I couldn't help but feel scared."

"When Anle wakes up, my sister will send someone to send her back."

An Lingrong asked Concubine Hua to go back first because she had a child.

But no one knows why she insisted on staying in the Yanxi Palace to wait for Huanbi to give birth, so Concubine Lan had to stay and accompany her.

Concubine Hua did not get the expected response and nodded reluctantly.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and a hint of chill penetrated into the head along the edge of the cloak, making Concubine Hua shiver.

She vaguely felt as if the wind had blown her to understanding.

Everyone in the palace knew that she was not on good terms with Concubine Shu. If the news that she was resting in Yongshou Palace got out, the emperor would definitely be the first to jump up.

But Anle said Lingrong's body was fragrant and soft, so she just wanted to confirm whether it was true?

An Lingrong asked doubtfully while eating porridge in the main hall.

"Bao Ge, I noticed that Concubine Hua seemed to want to follow me. Do you think she also wants to adopt the Ninth Prince?"

Bao Ge nodded in agreement.

"Master, this is indeed possible."

The master and servant, who had misunderstood the situation, felt more and more that something was wrong with Concubine Hua as they discussed.

An Lingrong was lying on the bed, still thinking about how to dissuade Concubine Hua from having the Ninth Prince marry her.

Concubine Hua knew very well that the Ninth Prince was Prince Guo's son, so why would she want to raise him as her own?

Could it be that he was holding a grudge against Prince Guo for flattering General Nian Gengyao in front of the emperor, and wanted to take his son into his hands for revenge?

An Lingrong thought about it carefully and felt that Concubine Hua should not know what Prince Guo had done.

But considering that she simply hated Prince Guo, it didn't make sense for her to target his son.

An Lingrong, who was confused, tossed and turned in Yongshou Palace, and the same thing happened to Concubine Hua in Yikun Palace behind her.

She gave orders outside.

"Zhou Ninghai, my mouth is dry. Bring me a cup of osmanthus honey."

Zhou Ninghai replied cautiously.

"My lord, Chief Steward Su has become wary of us and has taken away the honey jar from the small room in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The last osmanthus honey in our palace has gone into Princess Anle's stomach. How about I shamelessly ask the Imperial Concubine Shu for some?"

"Forget it, we're out of osmanthus honey. I'll just give you a few of the lactose that Concubine Shu gave to Anle to make up the number."

After Concubine Hua finished speaking, Zhou Ninghai did not move.

She immediately reacted, "Is the nougat gone too?"

Zhou Ninghai smiled awkwardly.

"Master, you are wise. After you went to the Yanxi Palace yesterday, the princess returned with the Eighth Prince..."

"Don't say anymore. I understand. Go down and rest."

A moment later, a puzzled female voice was heard in the dark chamber.

"Ever since Anle could speak, she's been so open and sincere to Concubine Shu's twins. I wonder who learned this from?"

Concubine Hua thought angrily for a long time, and finally succumbed to physical fatigue.

Before closing her eyes, she was still thinking about asking An Lingrong to control Hongyao's mouth and not let him stuff anyone else's things into it.
