Chapter 217 Asking for help
"Reporting to the Queen, the Sixth Prince is in good health. I have not noticed anything wrong."
Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
The Sixth Prince is smart and clever, and he doesn't want anything unexpected to happen to the prince he favors.
"Your Majesty, do you want to have Eighth Prince take a look as well?"
Wei Lin reminded him that after all, Concubine Shu had two princes, and he was worried that someone would do something bad to them.
"Then I'll have to trouble the imperial physician."
"Bao Que, ask the nanny to bring the Eighth Prince and Princess Zhaohua here."
It would be too strange to just check the Eighth Prince's pulse, so we should check it out together.
After taking the pulse of the twins, Wei Lin shook his head slightly, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the Eighth Prince's body.
"Doctor Wei, I have my own plans for this matter. Please keep it strictly confidential."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will keep my mouth shut."
He was able to achieve what he has today thanks to the support of Concubine Shu. Wei Lin, knowing the seriousness of the matter, agreed without hesitation.
On the way back to the Imperial Hospital, he thought of the woman who was about to marry into the Wei family, and Wei Lin decided to dry some clean pebbles.
Hold it in your mouth every night before going to bed to avoid revealing anything in your dreams.
An Lingrong, who went to Yiku Palace, had no idea that Wei Lin was so cautious.
"Lingrong, you finally decided to come and see me."
Concubine Hua, who was lying on the couch and eating a cucumber, gave her a proud look.
An Lingrong knew very well that this was her personality and didn't take it to heart at all.
She asked mysteriously.
"Sister Nian, I have some fun here, do you want to listen?"
"I want to listen, Lingrong, come and sit down."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua immediately became interested, moved to the side, and motioned An Lingrong to sit on the empty couch.
"Songzhi, go make a pot of osmanthus honey."
Facing Concubine Hua's bright and inquiring eyes, An Lingrong slowly and selectively told the story of Xiao Yanzi in Sui Yuxuan.
"Sister Nian, just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I think the Queen's thoughts should be on the one in Sui Yuxuan."
"My Yikun Palace is well-guarded. If the old queen dares to lay a hand on me, I will chop her off."
Concubine Hua had fought with the Queen for many years, so she naturally knew how cruel and ruthless she was.
"Lingrong, you should also be wary of Jingren Palace. That old woman, relying on the Empress Dowager's support, is brazenly attacking the concubines."
"Over the years, many children in the royal family have died. The Queen is clearly the most suspicious, but the Empress Dowager is helping to clean up the mess. The one in the Yangxin Palace is like a blind man, unable to see a thing."
"You were able to see through the Queen's hypocrisy so early on. You truly are a wise person who shares the same interests as me, Nian Shilan."
At the end, she even praised herself in a roundabout way.
"Thank you, Sister Nian, for thinking highly of me."
An Lingrong joked with a smile.
"Sister Nian, I heard that the Emperor sent Imperial Physician Zhang to take your pulse. What did he say?"
Concubine Hua put away the smile on her face.
"Doctor Zhang said that I am weak and need to be well nourished."
"Su Peisheng sent over a lot of supplements. He said these things all came from the Emperor's inner treasury."
"But the way I look now is completely..."
"Lingrong, it seems that I have no chance of becoming a mother."
As she spoke, tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes.
An Lingrong gently embraced the person who was crying on her shoulder and gently wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
"Sister Hua, before I entered the palace, I went to the temple with my mother to worship."
"While admiring the scenery at the temple, I met a strange man who threw three pills to my sister, saying they were pills to protect the fetus."
"You know everything that happened after Lingrong entered the palace. I think the pills given by the strange man have a lot to do with the fact that Hongzhan, Hongyao, and Zhaohua were able to avoid so many attacks."
"I have one last pregnancy-preserving pill left. Would you like to take it?"
Concubine Hua has recently become obsessed with the stories of hermits, and An Lingrong took the opportunity to arrange one for her.
"what......"
"Do you trust me so much?"
An Lingrong smiled and put the pill into her mouth.
"Since you are a hermit, I will reluctantly trust you for once."
"No, your pill is sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside."
"Hurry, hurry, I need some water."
After drinking four cups of honey water, Concubine Hua still felt a bitter taste on the tip of her tongue.
She leaned on An Lingrong's shoulder with a wronged look on her face, expressing her dissatisfaction in a low voice.
"If I had known it was so bitter, I would never have eaten it."
"Sister Nian, good medicine tastes bitter. Feel your stomach, does it feel better?"
Concubine Hua shook her head, but she gave orders loudly.
"Songzhi, I want to eat minced meat porridge, go make it quickly."
Songzhi accepted the order with a smile, and soon a bowl of fragrant minced meat porridge was served.
Concubine Hua hugged An Lingrong's arm and rubbed it, then spoke awkwardly.
"Lingrong, I haven't eaten much these past few days, so my hands don't have much strength."
"Okay, I'll serve Sister Hua for once."
Under Songzhi's grateful gaze, An Lingrong picked up the bowl and patiently fed porridge to Concubine Hua, whose lips were pale, just as she was taking care of Hongzhan.
When there was only half a bowl left, she winked at Songzhi.
With An Lingrong's feeding, Concubine Hua ate two bowls of minced meat porridge.
"Mrs. Shu Guifei, thank you for coming to see the master."
"I really don't know how to thank you."
The queen is weak and vomits everything she eats.
Today, under the careful care of Concubine Shu, I not only drank a few cups of nectar water, but also drank two bowls of thick porridge.
Songzhi was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
"Songzhi, you're too kind. There's no need for such politeness between me and Sister Nian."
"I suspect that the baby in Sister Nian's womb understands her difficulties, and from now on Sister Nian will be able to eat normally."
An Lingrong told Songzhi all the precautions she needed to take during her pregnancy, and naturally received Songzhi's gratitude.
They left Yikun Palace amid Songzhi's reluctance.
Songzhi was indeed too enthusiastic. She was afraid that she might not do well, so she kindly invited An Lingrong to stay overnight in Yiku Palace.
Baoque asked with lingering fear.
"My Lady, are we going to come here again tomorrow?"
"Don't come too often. Just play it by ear."
An Lingrong believed in the miraculous effects of the pregnancy-preserving pills.
"Your servant, Xianfu Palace Ruyi, pays homage to Her Majesty Shu Guifei. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
"No gifts."
She remembered that the person who performed the ceremony was Ruyi, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Jing.
"Your Highness, the formal dress sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Xianfu Palace is damaged and cannot be repaired in time for the enthronement ceremony."
"My master has sent this servant to ask for your help. Could Your Majesty lend me your consort's formal attire?"
After Ruyi said this, An Lingrong knew that the Queen had tampered with the dress again.
"This is a trivial matter. I will accept it."
