"Thank you so much, Gege Li, for your concern." Li Wanting couldn't stop smiling.

Normally when I am working as a clerk, I can only look at these exquisite pastries. How can I have the blessing of tasting them myself?

Now that I have seen these, I naturally cannot help myself.

Just as Li Jingui was about to take the mythical beast doll, Feng Ruozhao stopped him.

"Sister, no." Feng Ruozhao's shout scared Li Jingui so much that she stopped immediately.

"Sister, what's wrong? Why don't you eat such delicious cakes? It would be a pity to waste them."

Li Jingui naturally couldn't help herself and just wanted to eat the delicious food in front of her in one gulp.

"Since Imperial Doctor Jiang hasn't left yet, I'll have to trouble Imperial Doctor Jiang to check again so that I can feel at ease." Feng Ruozhao's gaze quickly fell on Jiang Cheng.

"Yes." Jiang Cheng quickly picked up a piece of cake and checked it.

Everyone sat aside waiting for Jiang Cheng's result.

"It's okay for other people to eat it, but pregnant women are absolutely not allowed to eat this pastry." Jiang Cheng looked at Nian Shilan and said seriously.

"Oh? What?"

"This Eight Treasures Cake is supposed to use almonds, but it contains peach kernels. The two look similar in appearance, but their effects are very different. Peach kernels are cold in nature, and eating too much can cause miscarriage."

Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, everyone's face changed. Li Jingui was so scared that she almost cried. Fortunately, she didn't eat this thing, otherwise the wealth and glory she had finally obtained with this child would be gone in an instant.

"Doctor Jiang, please keep your mouth shut about what happened today. Let me think of a solution and then make a decision." Nian Shilan said calmly.

At this moment, Nian Shilan was much calmer. This matter was by no means that simple and he had to be careful and cautious.

"Yes, but at the order of Concubine Concubine. I will take my leave."

After Jiang Cheng left, the atmosphere in the room became tense again.

"Who did you say gave the reward just now? Li Gege. It seems that this matter must be related to Li Gege." Qi Yuebin analyzed on the side.

"This Li Gege has always been on good terms with Fu Jin. I wonder if Fu Jin knows about this or if they did it on purpose. Fu Jin is kind-hearted, so I don't think she would deliberately let Li Wanting harm Sister Jin Gui."

Everyone was talking, but Nian Shilan said nothing. She knew that Yixiu must be involved in this matter, and Yixiu was clearly playing a trick by using someone else's knife to kill someone.

"Sister, you must be more careful in the future. If you have any concerns, my room and Feng Gege's room are both close to you, so just come to us. It will be easier for us to discuss and make decisions together with more people."

Nian Shilan did not explain who the instigator was, and only wanted to comfort Li Jingui. Although it was not proven whether it was related to Yixiu, Li Jingui had already had a gap with Yixiu because Li Wanting and Yixiu were good friends.

"Yes, sister, you still have to be more careful in everything."

Qi Yuebin and Feng Ruozhao also echoed.

After comforting Li Jingui, several people left.

Nian Shilan returned to her room and was still hesitating whether to tell Yinzhen about this matter.

"Songzhi, go and invite the prince."

"Yes."

Nian Shilan instructed Songzhi and sat on the couch waiting quietly.

"Sister, this palace is not as good as I imagined. It is rich, but you never know when someone might assassinate you. It's hard to survive here." Li Jingui cried to Wang Jin.

Seeing Li Jingui so sad, Wang Jin naturally couldn't bear it and held her in his arms for support.

"Sister, you have to remember that you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. I think that the concubine is more reliable than the legitimate wife."

"Sister, do you feel the same way?"

Li Jingui had long felt that she was a little uncomfortable with Yixiu, as if Yixiu had some ulterior motives towards her. Unexpectedly, Wang Jin also thought so.

"Yeah. I always feel like there's something fishy going on. I don't know, but it's better to be careful."

Listening to Wang Jin's words, Li Jingui seemed to be thinking about something and decided to be on guard.

"Shilan misses me." Yinzhen walked in from outside with a smile.

"If you meet the prince, he will make fun of Shilan." Nian Shilan acted coquettishly and helped Yinzhen into the house.

Naturally, the entire courtyard knew about Yinzhen's grand move.

"Sister, the prince is here." Li Jingui said to Wang Jin. She couldn't help feeling happy that Yinzhen had come, but it was a pity that he didn't come to see her.

"Yes, the prince came and went to Concubine Nian's place. I heard that Concubine Nian is the most favored in the whole palace."

Li Wanting really hopes that she is the one who is favored, but the fact is that she is not favored.

"Your Highness, I have something to tell you." Out of the blue, Nian Shilan suddenly knelt down and saluted.

"You're fine, what happened? Get up quickly." Yinzhen stretched out his hand and helped Nian Shilan up.

"It's nothing. Maybe my subordinates made a mistake. Today, I went to Li Jingui's room with Concubine Qi and Princess Feng to talk. Thinking that Sister Jingui had just arrived, we naturally had to take better care of her."

Nian Shilan talked to herself and picked up some food for Yinzhen from time to time.

"Perhaps the kitchen staff made a mistake and sent a plate of Eight Treasures Cake to Sister Jingui, but it contained peach kernels instead of almonds, which pregnant women cannot eat. They even said it was a gift from Li Gege. If the sisters hadn't been on guard, I'm really afraid that Sister Jingui would have had an accident today."

"What did you say? It was a reward from Princess Li." Yinzhen put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked up at Nian Shilan, his eyes dark and deep.

"I believe that Princess Li would never do such a thing." Nian Shilan lowered her head again and pretended to excuse Li Wanting.

Yinzhen lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

In the entire palace, Li Wanting is the only one who has a child, and the child is born by Li Wanting. Now that Li Jingui is pregnant, Li Wanting, as the mother, is naturally the most suspicious.

"Forget it, I'm glad you're okay, Shilan. Thanks to you, it's you who protected my child."

Yinzhen looked up at Nian Shilan and reached out to hold her hand. He didn't expect that this woman would not despise Li Jingui, her concubine.

Although Li Wanting was the most suspicious, Yinzhen did not propose to investigate the matter thoroughly. He just disliked Li Jingui, and as a result, he disliked the child in her belly.

"Your Highness, do you want to conduct a thorough investigation?" Nian Shilan asked when she saw that Yinzhe did not respond.

"Forget it. I don't want to make this kind of thing known to everyone. But it's not our child, so we just have to be careful and cautious." Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan and sighed again.

Since Yinzhen said so, Nian Shilan naturally had nothing to say.
