An Lingrong was stunned. She had known Baojuan for such a long time, but she had never heard that Baojuan knew medicine.

This time her throat was damaged, and Baojuan suddenly jumped out and said that she knew medical skills and was even confident that she could cure her.

It has to be said that An Lingrong's first reaction was that Baojuan was deceiving her.

But...what reason did Baojuan have to lie to her?

To be honest, An Lingrong actually has nothing worth anyone's attention now.

"Is it true?" An Lingrong's gloomy eyes were filled with a bit more eagerness and hope, and she held Baojuan's hand again.

Bao Juan said confidently, "To be honest, Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I also studied medicine with my grandfather for several years. Unfortunately, after entering the palace, I didn't have much chance to learn."

As for the truth...it was actually during the hundreds of years she was a ghost that she learned medical skills from an old Chinese doctor. According to her understanding, the old Chinese doctor was born into a family of Chinese medicine practitioners and his medical skills were very impressive.

Out of boredom, she followed an old Chinese doctor to learn for many years until he passed away.

After the Chinese medicine doctor passed away, she continued to study with his ghost for many years until the old Chinese medicine doctor was reincarnated. Only then did she stop studying.

However, with those skills, Baojuan can definitely be called a direct disciple of the old Chinese medicine doctor.

The only thing she lacked was the practice of taking pulses. As for pharmacology, she was very proficient in it.

An Lingrong did not have any imperial physician whom she knew well and could trust. Moreover, she had been plotted against, and the Queen might have been behind it. If she rashly sought help from the imperial physician, the medicine she received might not be a good medicine to cure her throat, but might be another kind of poison.

There is nothing to prevent.

An Lingrong gritted her teeth and looked at Baojuan steadily, "Baojuan, you are the only one I can trust in the palace now. Please help me."

Baojuan would then hold An Lingrong's hand and say, "Don't worry, Madam. I will do my best to save you."

Concubine Qi must be keeping an eye on An Lingrong's situation in secret, so the rescue cannot be done openly, but must be done secretly.

Baojuan used the leftover medicinal residue to identify the ingredients of the poison and finally researched the antidote.

Afterwards, he took the silver given by An Lingrong and went to the Imperial Hospital to bribe the imperial physician, lying that he was not feeling well and took medicine that could cure An Lingrong's throat in several installments.

It was also thanks to Concubine Qi that she underestimated the enemy and had someone secretly drug the place, and she didn't know how to clean up the mess. Otherwise, Baojuan would have had to spend a lot of effort to research the antidote.

The palace maid who had administered the drug went to report to Concubine Qi, saying that An Lingrong's voice had been ruined. She had been secretly staying in the Yanx Palace every day to boil medicine and drink it, but her voice was still very hoarse and there was no sign of improvement.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi was overjoyed and went directly to the Queen's Jingren Palace to tell her about this matter. The Queen did not reprimand Concubine Qi, but after Concubine Qi left, she said to Jianqiu beside her:

"Anpin is not cautious enough after all, she only has a little bit of cleverness."

Jianqiu agreed: "Your Majesty is right."

The Queen: "Although she is not very smart, she is still loyal. I cannot bear to see her remain silent in the harem. There are still three months until New Year's Eve, which is a good opportunity to curry favor with the Emperor. Jianqiu, go and invite Concubine An to come over."

An Lingrong had just taken the medicine when Baojuan handed her the sweet dates she had prepared. The soft and sweet dates just offset the bitterness of the medicine.

After a few days of treatment, An Lingrong felt that her voice had almost recovered. It was even a blessing in disguise. After her voice was healed after the ordeal, it became clearer and more ethereal than before.

In response to this, Baojuan simply said that she had added a medicine that helps moisten the throat, and that ordinary people who are not sick can drink it to make their throats sound better.

In the living room, a palace maid was brought up by Baoque and his men and knelt on the ground.

Baojuan has been with An Lingrong for a longer time than Baoque and others, and is more trusted by her. As early as when An Lingrong was promoted to a concubine, she promoted Baojuan to be the head aunt by her side, while Baoque was a first-class palace maid, one level lower than Baojuan.

The task of keeping a close eye on the traitor fell on Baoque.

Fortunately, Baojuan knew that Baoque was not very smart, so she gave Baoque some pointers, which enabled Baoque to successfully catch the traitor in the Yanxi Palace.

But only one person was caught, and it is still unknown whether there are other chess pieces planted by others.

Baoque went in and told An Lingrong that the traitor had been caught.

An Lingrong pretended to be sick and depressed, and was supported by Baojuan as she walked out of the room.

When the palace maid saw An Lingrong's appearance, her eyes flashed.

Ever since An Lingrong's voice was damaged, it was difficult for others to get close to her except Baojuan, who served her closely. The reason why she dared to inform Concubine Qi and ask for a reward was because she judged An Lingrong's occasional coughing and hoarse voice.

But she didn't know exactly how badly An Lingrong was injured.

"Qiuyue, I have treated you well, why did you betray me?"

Seeing the person kneeling on the ground clearly, An Lingrong coughed and said angrily.

Although Qiuyue was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, An Lingrong allowed her to serve her personally because she was smart and taciturn, and she would also take her with her when she traveled.

He was not stingy in giving her rewards during festivals.

"I don't know what your majesty is talking about." Qiuyue lowered her head.

"This is what we found in your room: poison packaging! And look what this is?" Bao Que angrily presented a half-used medicine package and a white jade and gold hairpin. "This is a treasure only the ladies in the palace are qualified to enjoy. How do you explain it?"

Qiuyue's body trembled almost imperceptibly. She raised her head slightly to look at the hairpin, then turned away stubbornly. "The medicine bag is the leftover medicine from my illness. It's not poison. And that hairpin was given to me by the noble. Is it wrong to take the reward from the noble?"

"Let me see it." An Lingrong only took a quick look and recognized the hairpin. It had appeared on Concubine Qi's head before.

The jewelry made for concubines in the palace came in many varieties, and in order to be unique, few were made identical unless they were in pairs.

In other words, it is most likely the only one on Concubine Qi's head.

But now it is awarded to Qiuyue?

Concubine Qi did not get along with her and often ridiculed her.

In a flash, An Lingrong was almost certain that it was Concubine Qi who bribed the maid to give her the drug.

An Lingrong felt a sense of absurdity that this was just as she expected.

Concubine Qi and she worked together under the Queen, and they should have been in the same boat, but unexpectedly, she was the one who attacked her first.

She originally thought that Zhen Huan would be the first to attack her.

"You said it's not poison, so why don't you try it?" Baojuan suggested with a smile when she saw An Lingrong was still thinking about how to pry open Qiuyue's mouth.

An Lingrong raised her eyelids and glanced at Baojuan.

Just now, when she was thinking about how to make Qiuyue confess Concubine Qi, all kinds of torture methods went through her mind, but she suddenly remembered that when she gave advice to Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang said cruel words to her.
