Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!

"They say that no flower lasts forever, but this crape myrtle blooms for a full hundred days."

Cao Qinmo stood under the crape myrtle tree and cut a few branches with light and delicate scissors.

Yinxiu quickly took it and placed it in the flower basket. Liu Hua fanned Hong Zhou in Nanny Yun's arms and said angrily, "It's June, and the weather is getting hotter. This year, because of the selection, the concubines have to postpone their trip to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat."

Qingmei quickly took the fan from Liu Hua and said with a smile, "My lady, you must be tired of fanning me. I will do this little thing for you."

Liu Hua was also happy to be free, so he handed the fan to Qingmei. But at this moment, Hong Zhou started to cry loudly.

Nanny Yun reached out and touched it, then said to Liu Hua worriedly, "Oh, it's probably too hot. Babies are most afraid of heat. You'd better go home quickly. Drink a bowl of mung bean soup, and you'll be fine."

Cao Qinmo also hurriedly picked up Wen Yi, who was playing with flowers on the ground, and quickly said, "Indeed, it's almost noon. Your Majesty should go back quickly. I, the concubine, also want to go back."

Liu Hua nodded, then took the sedan chair back to Yonghe Palace and told Caiju to get a bowl of mung bean soup.

Caiju felt that her position was unstable because of the threats from Qingmei and Pengpeng.

His daily routine became more and more diligent, and he had some of Dongli's shadow.

He sighed, and in a moment, two bowls of mung bean soup appeared on the rosewood tray.

Liu Hua did not suspect anything. The mung bean soup in Yonghe Palace was specially provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it had been tasted by countless people.

Nanny Yun picked up a round wooden spoon, selected a small dark green bowl that belonged to Hong Zhou, and fed Hong Zhou one spoonful at a time.

Liu Hua looked at the mung bean soup and recalled the bad memories of his time as a nobleman.

At the beginning, Shen Meizhuang exchanged the mung bean soup for silver on the grounds of saving money. There were still a lot of mung beans left in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she made the last batch of mung bean soup.

But they are extremely careless and the water they use is well water from the north. The brown-red color is really a visual shock.

Thinking of mung bean soup, Liu Hua asked Caiju who was wiping the non-existent dust with a feather duster in front of him.

He asked, "Is the palace still providing green bean soup for the servants?"

Caiju immediately replied, "It's still being supplied. In June, Concubine Hui asked the Empress Dowager for permission, and it has been restored long ago."

"what!"

Caiju immediately put on the airs of a senior palace maid and said, "Your Majesty, when Concubine An was promoted to concubine, the Imperial Household Department appointed several palace maids who were extremely unruly. I will go and tell them right away!"

Before Caiju could lift the glass curtain, Youran rushed in and said in a panic, "Empress An's voice is hoarse."

Liu Hua was horrified and ran towards the east hall in panic.

Several palace maids were shivering in the east hall. After all, this was their second day on the job.

An Lingrong was helped onto the bed, her face slightly pale. Wei Lin followed Liu Hua into Yonghe Palace.

Although An Lingrong was conscious, her heart was filled with anger and thoughts.

Now I am wondering who it is. Does he want to harm me, or is it something else?

Her eyes met with Wei Lin who had followed, and she uttered in a hoarse voice, "Doctor Wei, please leave first. I need to discuss this with my sister."

Wei Lin was very tactful and left immediately.

An Lingrong called Youran and helped her sit on the chair behind the table.

Then, he stared at the bowl of mung bean soup.

When Liu Hua touched An Lingrong, his fingers were shaking and he said incoherently, "Ah...Rong, are you...ok?"

An Lingrong raised her eyes, tilted her head slightly, looked at Liu Hua and said in a hoarse voice, "Will my sister dislike me for the way I am now?"

Liu Hua shook his head quickly and said hastily, "Of course not. I will make those people pay the price."

An Lingrong chuckled with satisfaction and hooked her arms around Liu Hua's neck.

He put his cheek close to Liu Hua's hair, blew air into her ear, and said softly, "That's good. Sister, please don't let me down."

An Lingrong pushed the bowl of mung bean soup she had drunk towards Liu Hua with her slender fingers and said calmly, "It is mung bean soup, but it's not Huipin's."

Liu Hua said subconsciously: "It's Concubine Tong."

An Lingrong shook her head and pulled Liu Hua, who lost his balance and fell on her.

She quickly sat up straight, but still sat on the same chair with An Lingrong, their bodies pressed tightly together.

An Lingrong felt even more satisfied, as if all the pain she had just felt had disappeared.

He chuckled softly and said, "If it was Concubine Tong, she would have given it to Hong Zhou, not me."

Liu Hua stood up and called out, "Doctor Wei, come in for a moment."

Wei Lin finally found a place to use his skills, and it was worth it for Liu Hua to stuff "some paper" into his medicine box.

Wei Lin looked at the bowl of soup and tested it with a silver needle, but found that it had not turned black.

Then he sniffed it lightly, touched it with his finger, and put it in his mouth.

After tasting something strange, he immediately spat it out. After thinking for a moment, he respectfully reported to Liu Hua, "They came from Korea. They're called Pinellia and Qingwu. They have very strong medicinal properties, but they've been mixed with mung bean juice for a long time, and the aroma has masked the taste."

When Liu Hua thought of North Korea, she thought of Lingfeng, but she also thought of the fact that Lingfeng was punished, and it shouldn't have been her.

Liu Hua muttered to himself, "Concubine Duan, Concubine Duan's brother Qi Fengji! Isn't he stationed at the northeastern border all year round?"

Liu Hua looked at Xiao Yunzi who was waiting outside the door and immediately ordered: “Go find the newcomer to Concubine Duan’s palace, no matter how much money he has.

We must ask Duan Fei's brother, Qi Fengji, if he is still in the capital."

Xiao Yunzi received Liu Hua's order and did it immediately.

Liu Hua already understood a little bit in his heart that it was Concubine Duan who did it, but Concubine Duan was usually cautious and learned a trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

It was most likely that Concubine Tong was the first to take action and wanted to poison Hong Zhou, but Concubine Duan knew that Yi Xiu favored Hong Zhou.

So he stopped her and changed it to poisoning An Lingrong, so that he could do everything he could to cause Yixiu to kill him.

But Liu Hua now doesn’t understand where Yixiu went wrong.

He said to Dongli who came in with medicine, "Go and take care of the people who are supplying the special mung bean soup. We must not let them die."

Liu Hua didn't want to search his mind for 36 strategies, so he chose the most direct method and cried shrilly:

"Lingrong, don't scare me! Someone, come and get all the good doctors here for me.

Oh right, hurry up and invite the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Empress!"

Yonghe Palace was thrown into chaos by Liu Hua's howl, and everyone rushed into action.

Liu Hua continued to howl a few more times, his voice becoming hoarse. He looked at An Lingrong and said with a smile, "Now I'm also speechless. Who doesn't despise anyone else?"

An Lingrong smiled and tapped Liu Hua's nose as if teasing a child.

He endured the stinging pain in his throat and wanted to get closer to Liu Hua.
