Chapter 206 Adventure
"You're right. We need to raise the child well before we can talk about other things."
The emperor's mind is unfathomable, and the queen is cruel and ruthless.
It does take some effort to raise a child under the care of this couple.
"Sister Hua Guifei, Hongzhan has asked several times where our beautiful aunt has gone."
"It's almost time for him to get up. Could you please come with me to the East Side Hall to take a look?"
An Lingrong didn't know what had happened that made Concubine Hua decide to give birth to the child so quickly.
But the intense sadness that occasionally appeared on her body was frightening.
As someone who had been imprisoned in the Yanx Palace, An Lingrong had a deep understanding of this emotion.
She wanted Hongzhan to divert Concubine Hua's attention.
There were many gossipy people in the courtyard, and Concubine Hua was afraid that the news would leak out and cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.
Although she was very tempted, she shook her head rationally.
"I didn't bring any little things with me this time, so I won't go to the East Side Hall to visit the Sixth Prince."
"Sister, you worry too much. Everyone in the harem knows that you like Hongzhan. It won't hurt to go and see him."
An Lingrong gently pulled her up and released their clasped hands before leaving.
"Hongzhan, your beautiful aunt is here to see you, get up quickly."
"Hongzhan..."
Hongzhan, who was continuously harassed by his mother, slowly opened his hazy eyes.
His eyes flashed with confusion from just waking up, and he rolled his eyeballs subconsciously.
When he saw the familiar person beside the crib, he grinned happily and called out in a baby voice.
"Mother, Aunt."
"Hey, Auntie is here."
Concubine Hua handed the armor she had taken off to Songzhi who was following behind her, and poked Hongzhan's chubby cheek with a smile.
The doll's unique roundness and softness made her love it so much.
By the time she reacted, there were red marks on Hongzhan's face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Concubine Hua said apologetically.
"Hongzhan is very tough. He never cries even when he gets bumped into. If you like, poke him a few more times."
An Lingrong often rubbed her face against Hongzhan's when no one was around. The little boy's skin was more comfortable than the silk bestowed by the emperor.
After Concubine Hua stopped, Hongzhan looked at her in confusion and stretched out his chubby little hand.
"Auntie, I want to hug you."
Hongzhan said this every time he wanted to be hugged. An Lingrong corrected him many times but failed to make him change.
"Hongzhan, Auntie is not feeling well. Can I hold you?"
I don't know who this kid takes after, but he has a natural liking for good-looking people.
An Lingrong planned to wait until he was older to cure this bad habit.
The two were smiling as they were helping Hongzhan put on his clothes when Baoli came to report.
"Master, Doctor Wei is here to check your pulse."
"Sister Hua Guifei, let's go over there."
They had already agreed to keep the fact that Concubine Hua was pregnant a secret.
It was agreed that we would come to Yonghe Palace today to pick a fight.
When Wei Lin heard that he was going to take Concubine Hua's pulse, he changed direction without saying a word.
"Your Highness, Concubine Hua, I am sorry for your ingratitude."
The pulse feeling under his hand showed that Concubine Hua was more than a month pregnant. Wei Lin finally understood why Concubine Shu was so secretive.
After he got engaged to Zhang Jia's family, Zhang Jia summoned him again and told him many secrets of the Imperial Hospital.
One of them is the reason why Concubine Hua has not given birth since her miscarriage.
He came to check the pulse of Empress Shu Guifei, and there would only be a record of Empress Shu in the pulse record.
Sitting on the couch, Nian Shilan stared at Wei Lin closely, not daring to miss any expression on his face.
Two fiery gazes were cast upon him, and Wei Lin felt that Concubine Shu was doing a great job of keeping secrets.
Even if he told others that the two imperial concubines had a deep relationship, not only would no one believe him, but they might also think he was crazy.
It was for this reason that An Lingrong asked Wei Lin to take Concubine Hua's pulse.
"Reporting to the two ladies, Concubine Hua's body has not recovered yet. If she wants to keep the dragon fetus in her belly, she needs to continue to recuperate."
"Then I'll have to ask the Imperial Physician to write a prescription."
Wei Lin behaved properly after entering the room, without saying a word of unnecessary nonsense.
Concubine Hua had seen many flatterers, but she had a good impression of him.
An Lingrong blinked in surprise when she saw Wei Lin pick up the pen with his left hand.
Fortunately, she took the initiative to recruit Wei Lin into her team, otherwise it would be a real headache for Zhen Huan to have such a meticulous helper by her side.
Concubine Hua, whose mind was on the dragon fetus, did not notice Wei Lin's abnormality.
"My ladies, the prescription contains several precious herbs that are hard to find outside, but the Imperial Hospital happens to have some in stock."
An Lingrong understood what he meant. If they wanted to keep the dragon fetus, the fact that Concubine Hua was pregnant could not be concealed for too long.
"Doctor Wei, if I delay taking the medicine for a few days, will it cause harm to the dragon fetus?"
"My Lady, the dragon fetus is still small, so it won't have much impact for now."
After taking An Lingrong's pulse as usual, Wei Lin hurried away with his suitcase.
The time of the imperial physician's visits and returns was recorded in the file book by a special person, and the time he stayed in Yonghe Palace must not be much different from the past.
"Sister Noble Concubine Shu, I've received news that there are two large water tanks in the small kitchen of Suiyuxuan, filled with well water."
The water quality in the capital is poor, and most of the wells are bitter water.
The numerous wells in the palace were mainly for fire prevention and to meet daily needs.
Concubine Hua guessed that the arson planned by Zhen Huan must have happened in the next few days.
"Sister Imperial Concubine, I believe the one from Suiyuxuan will take action after the enthronement ceremony."
The imperial concubine's enthronement ceremony came first, and a few days later it would be the ceremony for conferring the titles of imperial concubine to Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing.
The Sui Yuxuan caught fire before the ceremony of conferring the title of Consort. Without Zhen Huan taking the initiative to plan, it was obvious that someone wanted to harm her.
If she still insisted on biting Concubine Hua, based on Concubine Hua's previous style of doing things, everyone would definitely favor the favored Zhen Huan.
It is the most heartbreaking to hold it in your hand but then slip through your fingers.
"Zhen Huan is such a bitch, she has such a vicious mind!"
A fierce light flashed in Concubine Hua's eyes.
"Sister Noble Concubine, I will not let anyone slander you."
An Lingrong comforted softly.
The emperor, feeling uneasy, sent people to Suiyuxuan again. An Lingrong didn't believe that the master and servant would not reveal any flaws under the watchful eyes of so many people.
Besides, she had a backup plan and provided appropriate guidance on the day of the arson.
The two smiled at each other, knowing that the other had someone in Suiyuxuan, but they tacitly did not pursue the matter.
"Sister Noble Concubine, do you really want to take the risk?"
"I have made up my mind."
