I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Inside Jingyang Palace, the sound of hurried footsteps shattered the afternoon tranquility. Qiuyue ran in excitedly, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She hurried to An Lingrong's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, have you heard? Aunt Cui Jinxi, the head of Suiyuxuan, has been exiled to the laundry bureau by Concubine Hua!"

An Lingrong heard this and a satisfied smile slowly curled up at the corner of her mouth. A hint of pride flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Qiuyue noticed the change in her master's expression and couldn't help but feel a little worried. She asked cautiously, "My Lady, what are you planning?"

An Lingrong shook her head slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. She said softly, "It's nothing, I've just been feeling a bit tired these past few days. Go get me some soothing tea."

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the palace gate. A young eunuch ran in breathlessly, bowing and saying breathlessly, "Lady Shu, Concubine Hua has summoned you to the Yikun Palace."

An Lingrong's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this. Her gaze grew deep, and she thought to herself: After dealing with Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua is now targeting me. However, this is a good opportunity.

She gently stroked her abdomen, a gleam in her eyes. An Lingrong murmured to herself, "Very good, this Concubine Hua has really helped me a lot."

Then, she turned to Qiuyue and whispered, "Go find Chunhua and ask her to prepare some medicine to treat her weakness."

Qiuyue's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this. She couldn't help but ask, "My Lady, are you going to..."

An Lingrong raised her hand to interrupt Qiuyue, a look of determination flashing in her eyes. She said firmly, "No need to ask any more questions. Just do as I tell you."

An Lingrong slowly walked into the Yikun Palace. The opulent palace was filled with the rich aroma of incense. Concubine Hua lazily leaned on a soft, gold-rimmed couch, flipping through a thick account book, her brow furrowed slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with some of the figures.

An Lingrong came before Concubine Hua, knelt gently, and saluted respectfully, saying, "I, your concubine, pay my respects to Her Majesty Hua. May Her Majesty Hua be blessed with good health."

Hua Fei glanced at An Lingrong squatting on the ground, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

He deliberately did not ask An Lingrong to stand up and continued to concentrate on the account book in his hand, as if he did not hear An Lingrong's greeting.

The hall was silent for a moment, with only the rustling sound of flipping account books echoing.

An Lingrong remained squatting, with beads of sweat gradually oozing out of her forehead, but she still maintained a dignified posture and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After a long time, Concubine Hua finally closed the account book and placed it on the sandalwood table beside her.

She slowly sat up straight, a hint of teasing in her eyes, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, Concubine Shu is here. Songzhi, why didn't you warn me? She's really becoming more and more unruly."

She deliberately dragged out her tone, her eyes scouting An Lingrong back and forth, a meaningful smile curling up at the corner of her mouth.

Hua Fei finally spoke, "Don't kneel there, it's an eyesore."

Hua Fei narrowed her eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"It just so happens that I'm short-handed today," Hua Fei said with obvious sarcasm in her tone, "Come over and grind some ink for me."

An Lingrong's heart trembled, but she maintained a respectful expression. She nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yes, Empress Hua."

An Lingrong walked slowly to the desk and picked up the inkstone and ink stick. She secretly estimated the time, thinking that it would take some time for Qiuyue to arrive to invite the emperor.

She began to grind the ink with concentration, her movements gentle and rhythmic. The fragrance of the ink gradually spread, intertwining with the joyful incense in the hall to form a unique aroma.

Concubine Hua leaned against the couch, a smug glint in her eyes, admiring An Lingrong's humiliated look.

"The Emperor has arrived!" A loud announcement suddenly came from outside the palace, breaking the silence in the Yikun Palace.

An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat, a smug smile playing across her lips. At that moment, her face suddenly turned as pale as paper, her body suddenly softened, and she fell straight to the ground.

The emperor had just stepped into the palace when he witnessed this scene. A flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Quick! Call the imperial physician!" His voice was filled with anxiety and worry.

Chunhua heard the sound and immediately turned around and rushed out of the hall to call the imperial physician.

The Emperor quickly made his way to An Lingrong's side. He carefully lifted her up, feeling her softness and fragility in his arms. His brow furrowed, his eyes filled with worry. He strode out of the Yikun Palace, holding the unconscious An Lingrong tightly in his arms.

Concubine Hua stood there, stunned, watching all this unfold. The palace suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of Concubine Hua's rapid breathing echoing through the empty palace. Her face was filled with shock and disbelief as she watched helplessly as the Emperor carried An Lingrong away, unable to stop him.

When Doctor Xu hurried over, An Lingrong had already changed into plain clothes. Her face was still pale, and there was a hint of weakness in her eyes.

An Lingrong quietly took a loyalty pill from her sleeve and gently placed it in the tea. The pill dissolved quickly and silently.

"Chunhua," An Lingrong called softly, her voice gentle but carrying an unquestionable command, "Give this cup of tea to the imperial physician."

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Chunhua's eyes, and she nodded respectfully, "Yes, my lady."

She picked up the teacup and walked gracefully towards the imperial physician who was sorting out the medical supplies. Chunhua had a gentle smile on her face and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Physician. Please have some tea."

The imperial physician looked up and saw the tea handed to him. He took it gratefully and said, "Thank you." He drank the tea in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment, the doctor's eyes began to blur and his gaze gradually lost focus. An Lingrong slowly walked up to the doctor, a faint smile on her lips. Her voice was soft, yet with a subtle sense of authority: "Doctor, I am just a little weak and need to rest. Do you understand?"

The Emperor hurried into the room, his brow furrowed slightly, a subtle worry flickering in his eyes. He quickly approached An Lingrong's bedside, gently grasped her slender wrist, and felt her pulse. The imperial physician stood by, head bowed respectfully, awaiting the Emperor's instructions.

The room was completely silent, with only the slight movement of the Emperor's fingers resting gently on An Lingrong's wrist. After a moment, the Emperor raised his head, his eyes filled with anxiety and heartache. He looked at An Lingrong's pale face, his voice filled with obvious concern: "Imperial Physician, how is Concubine Shu? Is she seriously ill?"

The imperial physician stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the young lady is weak and cannot bear any fatigue. I suggest that she rest for a while and allow her body to slowly recover."

The Emperor nodded gently upon hearing this. His gaze never left An Lingrong's pale face, and the pain in his eyes seemed to overflow. The Emperor said softly, "Then you can prescribe medicine for Concubine Shu."

After saying this, the Emperor leaned over and gently patted An Lingrong's hand. His movements were gentle, fearing to hurt her. The Emperor's voice was gentle and concerned: "Rong'er, take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you again in a couple of days."

An Lingrong opened her eyes slightly and nodded weakly. A hint of gratitude and attachment flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
