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

An Lingrong took the emperor's hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.

There was a cunning glint in her eyes and a mysterious smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty, you are going to be my father again."

The emperor was stunned at first, then his eyes widened in surprise.

"Really, Rong'er? You're pregnant again?"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement.

An Lingrong nodded gently, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"It's true. I had originally planned to tell you after the fetus stabilized in a couple of days, and then report to the Queen after the pregnancy was three months old."

Her voice was like a spring breeze, gentle and moving.

The emperor excitedly hugged An Lingrong in his arms and gently stroked her belly with his palm.

He felt the warmth coming from his palms, as if he could already feel the pulse of new life.

An indescribable love surged in the emperor's heart, like a surging river.

He stared into An Lingrong's eyes and felt that she was the most gentle and kind woman in the world.

She is always considerate and never asks for anything for herself.

The emperor secretly vowed in his heart that he must love her well and make her the happiest woman in the harem.

"Rong'er, you are truly my best luck star."

The emperor spoke softly, his eyes full of doting.

An Lingrong lowered her head slightly, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.

"I don't deserve it. It is my great fortune to bear a son for Your Majesty."

Her voice was as soft as water, yet with a hint of firmness.

The emperor was even happier, because he knew that An Lingrong was a sensible woman who would never become arrogant because of her favor.

He gently stroked An Lingrong's hair, already thinking about how to prepare for the unborn child.

"I will have the Imperial Observatory choose an auspicious day for you to move into the Yongshou Palace. It's closest to the Yangxin Palace, so I can come visit you often."

An Lingrong was excited when she heard this.

Yongshou Palace is the palace closest to the emperor!

She suppressed her inner joy and replied softly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Now that you are pregnant, you must take good care of yourself. I will have the Imperial Hospital come to check your pulse every day."

An Lingrong nodded obediently, her eyes full of gratitude.

"I will obey your Majesty."

The emperor talked with An Lingrong for a while before leaving reluctantly.

Inside Jingyang Palace, An Lingrong stood in front of the window, looking at the emperor's receding back, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

Soon, the news that the emperor had moved An Lingrong to another palace spread throughout the harem.

People in the palace were talking about it. Some were surprised, some were jealous, and some began to think about how to please An Lingrong.

"Have you heard? The Emperor has given Yongshou Palace to Concubine Shu!"

"Is this true? That's the palace closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

"Tsk tsk, this Concubine Shu is really lucky. Now she is pregnant with a dragon seed."

"That's right. We must be careful in the future and not offend her."

These discussions soon reached the ears of the queen.

The queen sat on the phoenix chair with a frown on her face.

"The Emperor renovated the Yongshou Palace at some point and gave it to An Lingrong."

There was a subtle hint of anger in her voice.

"Yongshou Palace is the palace closest to Yangxin Palace. It seems that An Lingrong holds a very high position in the emperor's heart."

A cold light flashed in the queen's eyes.

"It is urgent to get rid of An Lingrong. We must not let the Emperor fall in love with her."

Her voice was cold as ice, filled with unquestionable determination.

The palace maid beside her couldn't help but shudder when she heard this.

They all knew that once the queen made up her mind to get rid of someone, there was no chance of that person surviving.

At the same time, in Concubine Nian's palace.

Concubine Nian sat in front of the dressing table with a frown on her face.

She asked Songzhi to secretly find a doctor outside the palace to check the ingredients of Huanyixiang.

"My Lady, the doctor said that Huanyixiang does contain musk."

Songzhi reported in a low voice, with a hint of worry in her voice.

When Concubine Nian heard this, a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

She never believed that this was the emperor's doing, and the figures of the queen and noble lady Duan appeared in her mind.

"It must be them!"

Concubine Nian gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger.

"The Emperor has always doted on me, how could he possibly harm me? They must be jealous of my favor, so they set this trap!"

After hearing this, Songzhi didn't dare to say much and just stood aside silently.

The more Concubine Nian thought about it, the angrier she became, and she stood up suddenly.

"Songzhi, you must speed up the process of verifying the evidence of the Queen's guilt."

Her voice was low and firm, carrying an unquestionable command.

Songzhi trembled slightly and lowered her head to answer, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will investigate this as soon as possible."

Concubine Nian walked to the window and stared at the palace wall in the distance.

"It's impossible that the people who served Empress Chunyuan and Ulanara Yixiu back then didn't know anything."

Her eyes became sharp, as if they could penetrate the palace walls.

"Go find those old people. They must know something."

Songzhi nodded and took note of it in her mind.

Nianpin turned around, her eyes piercing: "Remember, you must be careful. The Queen is not easy to deal with."

Songzhi sensed her master's determination and responded solemnly, "Don't worry, Madam. I understand."

Concubine Nian nodded with satisfaction, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

"Once I find out the truth, I will make them pay the price."

Her voice was low and thunderous, as if she were taking an oath.

After hearing this, Songzhi couldn't help but shudder.

As night fell, the palace-wide banquet began as scheduled.

As night falls, the lights are on.

The palace-wide night banquet arrived as scheduled, and the palace was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns everywhere.

The queen sat at the head of the table, her eyes scanning the entire audience.

An Lingrong took a seat with light steps, observing her surroundings calmly.

As the wine was flowing, he became aware of the Queen's vague gaze.

She was startled, knowing that there might be trouble tonight.

The Queen raised her glass and said in a gentle voice, "Today the whole palace is celebrating together. My sisters, please enjoy yourself."

Everyone echoed and clinked their glasses.

An Lingrong took a sip and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The Queen suddenly spoke up, "Sister Shu Guifei, have you recently moved into Yongshou Palace? Are you getting used to it?"

An Lingrong smiled slightly: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I am very happy."

The Queen nodded and said, "Yongshou Palace is indeed closer to Yangxin Palace, and it will be more convenient for you to serve the Emperor."

There was a sharp edge in his words, but An Lingrong remained calm.

She responded softly, "I will do my best to live up to the emperor's kindness."

A hint of coldness flashed in the queen's eyes, but she said nothing more.

The Queen suddenly mentioned, "The plum blossoms in Yimei Garden are in full bloom. Could His Majesty take you ladies there to see them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, An Lingrong's eyes flashed.

She knew very well that today was the date agreed upon by the Queen and Zhen Huan.

An Lingrong remained calm and agreed softly, "Yimei Garden is truly breathtakingly beautiful."

The Queen gave her a meaningful look and said, "Sister Noble Concubine Shu is absolutely right."

There was a subtle atmosphere in the air.

An Lingrong was secretly looking forward to it, knowing that a good show was about to begin, and she wondered whether the Queen and Zhen Huan would like the gift she was giving.
