That day, Anarchun found a quiet time and came to An Lingrong's palace. When she saw An Lingrong, she bowed respectfully and said softly, "Empress Dowager An, I have come here today because I have something to discuss with you."

An Lingrong was slightly surprised, then smiled and raised her hand to signal her to stand up: "Princess Chun, please feel free to speak up if you have anything to say."

Anarchun came closer and lowered her voice, "Queen Dowager, I want to make some Western Region poison powder. Please don't be surprised."

An Lingrong was startled, her brows furrowed slightly. "Poison powder? This is a dangerous substance. Why would Concubine Chun make it?"

Anarchun hurriedly explained, "Queen Mother, you don't know this! This Western Region poison powder is actually a double-edged sword. It can harm people, but if used in the right way, it can be a good thing to save people!"

An Lingrong was still puzzled. "Oh? If it's poison powder, how can it save people? Chunpin, please explain in detail."

Anarchun continued, "Empress Dowager, take the poison that the old Buddha was poisoned with last time. After being cured, the old Buddha became immune to all poisons. Do you know why?"

An Lingrong shook her head and said anxiously, "I really don't know. Concubine Chun, please tell me quickly."

Anar Chun pursed her lips slightly and said slowly, "That's because this strange poison from the Western Regions contains some extremely special ingredients. Once it enters the human body, if the toxicity can be neutralized with the right method, those special ingredients will remain in the body and blend with the body's own qi and blood. Over time, they will form a force that resists external poisons. This is why the old Buddha is so immune to all poisons!"

An Lingrong's eyes widened in amazement. "How could such a miraculous thing exist? How can we use this poison powder to save people?"

Anarchun smiled slightly and patiently explained, "Your Majesty, if someone is seriously injured and the wound is infected and festered, you only need to take a very small amount of this poison powder, mix it with a special medicinal powder, and apply it to the wound. It will fight poison with poison, curb the spread of those malignant sores, and allow the wound to heal as soon as possible. However, you must be extremely careful with the dosage and preparation method. If you make a mistake, it will become a real harm to people."

An Lingrong nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is, Concubine Chun. Since you have such ability, you can do more good things in this palace. However, you must not let anyone with ulterior motives know about this, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

Anarchun quickly responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand the pros and cons of this matter. I will be very careful and cautious."

As they were talking, Lingxi came in, skipping and jumping. Seeing Anar Chun, she asked curiously, "Mrs. Chun, what are you and Queen Mother An talking about? You seem so mysterious."

Anarchun smiled and touched Lingxi's head: "Princess Lingxi, these are just some medical matters, I am just telling the Queen Mother about them."

Lingxi tilted her head. "Medical theory, that must be very interesting. Concubine Chun, you know so much. Could you teach me too?"

Anarchun said lovingly, "It's good that the princess wants to learn, but the medical theory is difficult to understand, so the princess must be patient."

Lingxi patted her chest and assured: "My Lady Chunpin, I have great patience. Please teach me."

An Lingrong jokingly said, "Lingxi, you're so excited about this. Don't lose interest after just a few days. That would be a waste of Concubine Chun's efforts."

Lingxi pouted and said, "Empress Dowager An, please don't underestimate me. I will definitely learn well."

A few days later, Zhen Huan heard Anar Chun and An Lingrong talking about the poison powder, so she called Anar Chun over.

Zhen Huan looked at Anar Chun and asked, "Princess Chun, I heard that you were going to make that Western Region poison powder. Although it can save lives, it is a dangerous substance after all. Are you sure you can control it well?"

Anarchun replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am certain of this. I have studied medicine since childhood and know the properties of this poison powder. I will use it with caution and will not allow it to cause harm."

Zhen Huan nodded slightly. "Well, I've always trusted you in your work. But within the harem, people's hearts are unpredictable. There's no guarantee someone won't take advantage of this to make a big fuss. You need to be more careful in your actions."

Anar Chun bowed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Master Buddha. I will keep it in mind."

Meanwhile, although Su Wanqing was trapped in the cold palace, her brother Su Jinran still hadn't given up on rescuing her. Su Jinran approached a powerful prince and pleaded, "Your Highness, our Su family is in such great trouble, and my sister is suffering in the cold palace. I hope you will consider our past friendship and help us this time! If you can rescue my sister and help our family out of this predicament, Your Highness, your kindness will be repaid with gratitude!"

The prince frowned and said with some embarrassment, "Master Su, Empress Dowager Zhen Huan and Empress Dowager An Lingrong are not easy to deal with. Your sister has committed the grave crime of poisoning the Empress Dowager. Even if I am willing, I am afraid I am powerless to reverse the situation."

Su Jinran did not give up and continued to persuade: "Your Highness, my Su family is the richest in Jinan. We have plenty of money and connections. As long as Your Highness is willing to intervene, we will definitely find a way out!"

The prince hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand and said, "Master Su, this matter is too thorny. I dare not intervene rashly. You should find another way."

Seeing this, Su Jinran was filled with despair, but he was unwilling to give up. He secretly planned other ways. However, he didn't know what kind of waves his efforts would bring to the peace of the harem. Whether Zhen Huan and An Lingrong could resolve the situation cleverly again, everything was still unknown.
