The Queen was not surprised to hear this. After the news of Cheng Mingran's pregnancy spread, everyone knew how much fuss His Majesty had made.

In the past, if anyone in the palace became pregnant, they would try to keep it secret until the last two months before telling anyone, for fear of being discovered and murdered.

This Majesty is different. He wants everyone to know that Cheng Mingran is pregnant. Now the Lianyi Palace is like an iron barrel. Everything has to be strictly checked. The people who serve him have also been replaced. They are all experienced maids and palace maids arranged by the Majesty himself.

"His Majesty loves you. You can rest assured that his majesty is around." The queen said with a gentle smile. She coughed twice as soon as she finished speaking, but she tried her best to cover it up.

"Has the Queen's health improved? What does the imperial physician say?" Cheng Mingran asked with concern.

The queen shook her head gently: "It's the same old thing. I don't know how many times the imperial physician has changed the prescriptions he has prescribed."

Cheng Mingran was genuinely concerned when she heard this: "Your Majesty, you should still take care of your health. If the imperial physician's prescription is ineffective, you might as well ask a folk doctor to take a look. It's not a good thing to keep dragging it on like this. If you damage your body, it will be a sin."

When the queen heard this, she didn't seem to care: "It will heal naturally. I know my body well, don't worry."

"The reason I asked you to come here today is actually for some personal matters. Just consider it as satisfying my selfish desire." The queen always referred to herself as "I" and did not put on any airs as a queen.

Cheng Mingran also knew that this was the time to get down to business.

"I heard that during this spring hunting trip, Wang Zhaoyuan caught a palace maid who was acting suspiciously? This palace maid also intended to frame you?" The queen suddenly brought up this matter.

Cheng Mingran was not surprised that she knew about this, but why did she bring it up now?

"Your Majesty has already investigated the matter." Cheng Mingran did not rush to say anything.

"Wang Zhaoyuan has never been competitive, so it was not her turn to go on the spring hunting trip this time. In the beginning, I was actually planning to let Concubine Liang go with us. Later, Concubine Liang declined, saying that she had to take care of the princess and couldn't stand the fatigue of the journey. She also recommended Wang Zhaoyuan, so I replaced her." The queen hinted.

Cheng Mingran was indeed a little surprised when she heard this. Concubine Liang? She usually didn't like to interact with people. Could she be related to this incident?

"You entered the palace late, and after entering the palace, you didn't have much time to learn about the family backgrounds of the concubines in the harem. Wang Zhaoyuan is a low-key person, so it is even harder to notice her. You probably don't know that before Wang Zhaoyuan entered the palace, she was just an acquaintance of Concubine Liang. Even Zhaoyuan's position depends on Concubine Liang." The queen continued.

I have heard of this Cheng Mingran.

"I have no other intention in calling you here today, I just want to remind you. Of course, I also have selfish motives." The queen continued.

"You have also seen that my body is really a burden. Recently, I have become increasingly unable to handle the affairs of the harem. Apart from me, only you and Concubine Liang have higher positions, so I plan to let you and Concubine Liang come together to help me assist in managing the affairs of the harem." The queen stated her ultimate goal.

When Cheng Mingran heard this, the expression on her face became unpredictable.
