I was shocked when I heard this, and I couldn't help but feel a little surprised:

"So many? This speed is really amazing."

Xiao Tao nodded heavily and added:

"Yes, Madam, don't forget the achievement of saving Cao Qinmo!"

"However, we only changed Cao Qinmo's medicine. There's no guarantee that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager won't have murderous intentions again in the future. After all, the situation in the palace is unpredictable and no one can predict it."

Xiao Tao seemed quite optimistic. She shook her head and said

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although Cao Qinmo was rescued at the time, with her intelligence and talent, she will definitely try to save herself."

As she spoke, Xiaotao took out the flower shadow scroll from her sleeve and handed it to me:

"My Lady, let's take a look at this flower shadow axis."

......

Jingren Palace, this magnificent palace, looks even more solemn and majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The interior of the palace is magnificently decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and every detail reveals the royal dignity and extraordinaryness.

At this time, Cao Qinmo was kneeling in the queen's hall covered with embroidered carpets, her face full of tears, and her voice was filled with endless sorrow and pleading.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Nian has committed many evil deeds. Not only is she cruel and ruthless, she also threatened my concubine, Princess Wen Yi, forcing me to follow her for many years. But now, I have come to my senses and know that I can no longer be bound by hatred and fear. Please, Your Majesty, protect me and Princess Wen Yi. I will be grateful and serve you wholeheartedly!"

The Queen sat on the throne, her face dignified, her eyes revealing deep calculation and appreciation:

"You are steady and intelligent, and I have long admired you. However, Concubine Nian is now pregnant. Given her personality, who knows if she will retaliate against you after giving birth to the prince?"

Cao Qinmo heard this, a flash of fear in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said firmly:

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I do have some concerns. But I also understand that only with your protection can Wen Yi and I live a peaceful life in this palace. I am willing to serve you faithfully and faithfully."

The queen nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on her face:

"Very good. I like your intelligence and understanding. Concubine Wan has just given birth to two princesses, and Concubine An looks like she's about to give birth. The Emperor has also said that there must be no killing in the palace. Don't worry, I will protect you. But you must remember that the situation in the palace is ever-changing, and you must always be vigilant to survive in this turbulent situation."

A deep light flashed in the Queen's eyes, and then she slowly spoke, her voice filled with unquestionable majesty:

"Crime should be punished, and merit should be rewarded. I will show you a way. If you can achieve the merit, you will be safe."

......

I looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky, and a wave of worry rose in my heart. I turned to Xiao Tao and said:

"Xiao Tao, look at how Cao Qinmo behaved in front of the Queen today. It's clear she's already surrendered to the Queen. This situation is really getting more and more complicated."

Xiao Tao frowned when she heard this and responded with a worried look on her face:

"Yes, Your Majesty. Cao Qinmo is a very cunning person. Now that she has joined forces with the equally cunning Queen, I'm afraid our future will be even more difficult."

I sighed softly, my eyes revealing determination:

"Indeed, Cao Qinmo and the Queen are in league, making them difficult to deal with. But we can't just sit there and wait for death. Zhen Huan has already left the palace and won't be back anytime soon. During this time, we might as well focus on the Queen and look for her flaws."

Xiao Tao nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes:

"Your Majesty is right. Since Zhen Huan is not here, why don't we take this opportunity to weaken the Queen's power first. However, this requires us to act more cautiously."

I nodded slightly in agreement:

"Of course, we should proceed with caution."

"However, Your Majesty, all the previous tasks have been completed, and the Oleander System has just released a new task. Protect Nian Shilan's fetus, and the reward is 12% of the grace index. We can't miss this reward."

"Nian Shilan is now in Yikun Palace and has stopped using Huanyixiang. Let's go see her."

Xiaotao immediately stepped forward, held my arm, and we walked towards Yiku Palace together.

......

On the way to Yiku Palace, I was dressed in luxurious clothes, accompanied by Baoque and Xiaotao who followed me secretly.

And Jianqiu, as the caretaker of my dragon fetus, also went with me, and I did not refuse.

However, fate always seems to like to give people a heavy blow when they least expect it.

We were walking on the tree-lined avenue, a gentle breeze bringing a hint of coolness. Just as I was immersed in this moment of tranquility, a deafening roar suddenly pierced the silence:

"An Lingrong! I want to die with you!"

This sudden roar made my heart tremble violently. Before I could react, a figure suddenly rushed out from the bushes next to me, like a beast out of control.

It turned out to be the court lady Huichun. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was distorted, as if she had lost her mind.

"careful!"

Baoque screamed in horror.

Xiaotao thought quickly and tried to push me away, but Huichun was too fast, like a black lightning, rushing straight towards me.

I only felt a huge force suddenly hit my abdomen. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, my whole world was spinning, and the pain and fear intertwined together almost suffocated me.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

......

When I slowly opened my eyes, what came into view was the familiar and gorgeous decoration of the Yanxi Palace, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense.

The Emperor and Empress stood at their sides, their figures elongated by the candlelight and reflected against the magnificent palace walls, appearing exceptionally solemn. The other concubines also gathered around, their faces either displaying sincere congratulations or subtle hints of jealousy and disappointment.

The emperor's joyful face looked especially gentle in the candlelight, and his voice was filled with love and pride:

"Noble Concubine An, you gave birth to a prince for me!"

These words were like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away all my pain and fatigue. My heartbeat quickened, my eyes welled up, and an indescribable feeling of happiness welled up within me.

Although the Queen had a hint of displeasure on her face, she remained graceful in her words and forced a smile:

"Congratulations to Concubine An, it's really a cause for celebration."

Her eyes were complicated, as if she was congratulating him while also silently thinking about something.

At that moment, the emotions welling up in my heart are hard to describe. I have a child! This joy is like a flower blooming in spring, brilliant and warm. My heart is filled with gratitude and happiness, as if the whole world has become warmer and more beautiful with the arrival of this little life.

The wet nurse quickly and carefully brought the little prince to me. The little guy's pink face still had a newborn blush, and his little fists were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to grasp all the beauty in the world.
