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

"Your Majesty, the news has come back from Suiyuxuan. Concubine Cao has run into Lady He many times recently, and they've been having a very pleasant conversation."

"Under the praise of Concubine Cao, the He family girl seems to have rekindled her desire to compete for Concubine Cao's favor."

"Okay, I understand. Order your men to keep an eye on Suiyuxuan, but they must protect themselves."

The emperor ignored Zhen Huan for just a few days before he remembered her kindness again.

When Huanbi wanted to win favor, the first person she had to face was her elder sister Zhen Huan.

Cao Qinmo is really good at this.

Such people...

"Bao Que, send someone to deliver a message to Concubine Hua."

Cao Qinmo is like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark. As long as there is an opportunity, she will spit out her tongue without hesitation.

Since he could openly betray Concubine Hua in his previous life, the presence of such a poisonous snake lurking around now is indeed a huge hidden danger.

After receiving the news from An Lingrong, Concubine Hua discussed it with Songzhi for a long time and then called Cao Qinmo.

"Lady Cao, considering you have served me for so many years, I will report to the Emperor and have you promoted."

Glancing at Cao Qinmo, who was beaming with joy, she added in time.

"Noble Lady Cao, don't be too happy too soon. I will discuss this matter with the Emperor, but whether it will succeed or not is beyond my control. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Thank you for your support. Regardless of whether I can be promoted or not, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

Cao Qinmo was sincerely grateful to Concubine Hua. Her efforts to please Concubine Hua over the years were not in vain.

"This is what you deserve."

"You don't have to be grateful to me for the rest of your life. Just take good care of Princess Wen Yi from now on."

Hua Fei really kept her word. After informing Cao Qinmo, she took her people to the Yangxin Palace.

The next day, the young eunuch from the Yangxin Palace came to announce the imperial decree, saying that Concubine Cao had made great contributions to childbirth and was granted the main seat in the Qixiang Palace (Taiji Palace).

"I thank the emperor for his grace."

Cao Qinmo took the imperial edict with a smile and stuffed a big purse into the pocket of the visitor.

"Excuse me, sir, is the emperor free? I would like to go and express my gratitude in person."

Although her position was not promoted, being able to live alone in a palace was much better than being dependent on others in the Yikun Palace.

Maybe the emperor will think of Princess Wen Yi when he gets promoted next time because of her.

The young eunuch was a little embarrassed, but the purse handed over by Concubine Cao was heavy enough, he whispered.

"Lady Cao, Lady Wan from Suiyuxuan is accompanying the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace. It is not appropriate for her to see you now."

"Thank you, father-in-law, for informing me."

After the eunuch left, Songzhi came forward to congratulate him.

"Lady Cao, the Queen said that the Emperor did intend to make you a concubine yesterday, but for some reason this imperial edict..."

"Princess Wen Yi is growing up, so it would be good for her to live in Qixiang Palace. It's more spacious after all."

"Her Majesty said you brought Princess Wen Yi with you, and asked this servant to come and help you move your things."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Cao Qinmo kowtowed three times towards the main hall, but in her heart she silently remembered Concubine Wan who had ruined her future.

Hua Fei, hiding behind the window, looked at Cao Qinmo with a red forehead and finally agreed with An Lingrong's words.

Cao Qinmo is a ruthless person!

She needs to cultivate her character next, and it is indeed not appropriate for such people to be around her.

After reading Concubine Hua's note, An Lingrong threw it into the brazier.

"Baoli, ask Baoge to make a pot of pig bone soup for everyone to nourish."

"I obey your command. Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

Since the emperor fell in love with the mutton bone soup pot, everyone in the harem followed suit.

Sheep bones became a hot commodity for a while, and if you went too late you couldn’t get them.

Today Baoge brought back pig bone sticks, which are very delicious after stewing.

There was no need for anyone to serve her in the house, so An Lingrong took out the materials for making incense to kill time.

When Concubine Cao moved to a new palace, the Queen sent Jianqiu to deliver a gift. She also followed Concubine Hua and selected some unremarkable things to send over.

One day, An Lingrong came back from paying respects at Jingren Palace, and Haba Ma came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, when I was feeding Sixth Prince, I noticed two pieces of worn-out cloth on his crib."

An Lingrong quickly picked up Hongzhan and gently touched his forehead.

"Quickly summon the imperial physician."

Unexpectedly, despite her strict precautions, someone still reached out.

At this time in the previous life, an epidemic broke out outside the palace. In addition to the concubines who had to contact their families, the kitchen and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also had to contact the outside world every day.

But she didn't expect the epidemic to come so quickly.

An Lingrong's dark eyes darkened, and she called Baoge to her side.

"Send someone to investigate and see if there's any record of mugwort and other medicine bags being taken from Jingren Palace recently. If there is, report back immediately."

When she paid her respects, she did not smell any mugwort or medicinal scent coming from the queen.

When Bao Ge saw his master's serious expression, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

"The slaves retire."

An Lingrong, who was coaxing the Sixth Prince, was also busy. She ordered Baoque and Baoli to check the place where she lived, and sent Xiao Linzi to check the Yonghe Palace from top to bottom, especially asking them to pay attention to things that had not been there before.

"Doctor Wei, I heard there's an epidemic outside the palace. Just now, Mammy Haba and the others found two pieces of cloth on the Sixth Prince's crib. Please take a look."

Wei Lin knew the severity of the epidemic and hurried forward to take the small basket.

When he first started studying medicine, he had followed a doctor to treat patients suffering from an epidemic. The clothes of those patients were stained with unknown dark spots, which were 90% similar to the cloth in the basket.

"My lady, this is most likely the clothing worn by someone suffering from the plague."

He put the basket aside and strode forward.

"Your humble servant requests to feel the Sixth Prince's pulse."

The reason why Wei Lin was able to stand out from many second-rate medical practitioners and become a high-ranking imperial physician was all thanks to the Empress Shufei's keen eye for talent.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes between Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince.

After taking the pulse, Wei Lin checked the Sixth Prince's cheeks, lips, complexion, ankles and other important parts.

Worried, he inquired in detail about the color of the Sixth Prince's clothes and whether he had been crying recently.

"Your Majesty, according to the current examination, no abnormalities have been found in the Sixth Prince."

"I dare to request that those close to the Sixth Prince be examined."

He said this carefully and stole a glance at Concubine Shu's expression.

Seeing that Concubine Shu looked normal, he continued to add.

"Your Majesty, I am not exaggerating. The epidemic spreads very quickly. Perhaps someone in the palace has already contracted the disease."

"Doctor Wei, I'll trouble you with everything."

An Lingrong didn't reply just now, also to test him.

Wei Lin is Wen Shichu's apprentice after all.

Fortunately, we got a satisfactory result.

An Lingrong, Haba Mama and Koudai Mama were all fine for the time being, but one of the two wet nurses who were catching up on sleep in the small room had a high fever.

She immediately ordered that everyone be moved to the empty main hall in the backyard, Tongshunzhai, and even the nanny in the same room was moved there.

"Doctor Wei, please check on the other people in the palace as well."

Xiao Linzi just reported that he had found several scraps of cloth and cups, plates and bowls that were not registered in the Yonghe Palace.
