After Jingpin left, He Anming told Lingrong the true situation of Jingpin.

"Jingpin's body is not suitable for bearing children, but I see that Jingpin seems to want to use that prescription very much."

"Jingpin...I really want to use it, but this prescription is really not good. I hope she can figure it out."

Lingrong silently recalled Jingpin's eyes. There were tears in her eyes when she mentioned her child. She must be really worried that her child would be helpless and lonely in the palace.

“No matter how good the prescription is, it is only an external force, so the Imperial Hospital mainly focuses on warming and nourishing or detoxifying to recuperate the bodies of the ladies in the various palaces.

It’s just that Concubine Jing’s health seems to have been affected over the years, and now no matter how many tonic medicines she takes, it’s of no use.”

Ling Rong had not known why Concubine Jing's body was not suitable for bearing children until today in Jingren Palace when she found out that Concubine Jing used to live with Concubine Hua.

I think it was the influence of Huan Yi Xiang that led to the situation today.

Apart from using the Queen's powerful medicine, there was really no hope of improvement.

He Anming probably knew the secret, so he naturally didn't dare to tell the truth to Concubine Jing.

As for Jingpin's decision, even the imperial physician He Anming could not stop it, and Lingrong could only try her best to persuade her.

But Jingpin had her own plans in mind, and especially for such a big matter, it was difficult for her to be swayed by other people's suggestions.

It's just that the relationship between the two is really good, so Lingrong put more thought into it and even went to Xianfu Palace every now and then to have a good chat with Jingpin.

At first, Jingpin was very hesitant and had promised Lingrong not to use the prescription. But not long after Jingpin was made a concubine, she went to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.

Perhaps because she was afraid of being discovered by Lingrong, Concubine Jing did not look for Imperial Physician He, but Wen Shichu, who had recently become the imperial physician again.

It would be fine if she chose anyone, but why did she have to choose Wen Shichu, the one Zhen Huan loved the most?

Lingrong couldn't help but have a guess in her mind: Could it be that Concubine Jing had hooked up with Zhen Huan or Shen Meizhuang in the past few days and was in the same boat with them?

Shen Meizhuang seemed to have a prescription in her hand. If she gave the prescription she had used to Concubine Jing, she would indeed gain Concubine Jing's trust.

At this time, he took the opportunity to recommend Wen Shichu to Concubine Jing. Everything went smoothly and naturally, and there was nothing wrong with it.

In the past, Lingrong was willing to see Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui get along well, but now she has some concerns.

The root cause is still Wen Shichu. It’s as if Zhen Huan’s name is engraved in his bones.

No matter which concubine he was serving at the moment, as long as Zhen Huan waved his hand, he would run over happily and serve his sister Huan'er.

Doctors have a kind heart, but Wen Shichu's kindness seems to be only directed towards Zhen Huan.

However, Lingrong didn't dare to go to Concubine Jing at this time. If she was not careful, she would be discovered by Concubine Jing, which would push the relationship between the two people further apart.

But I can take the opportunity to visit Shen Meizhuang and secretly find out more.

In fact, Lingrong didn't really want to get to know Shen Meiyu. After all, when Zhen Huan regained her favor, her estrangement from her was too obvious.

Even Chun Changzai, who came later, was more valued by her than herself. Now that Zhen Huan had fallen, Chun Changzai had visited Shen Meizhuang even more often.

Not long after Shen Meizhuang returned to the palace, Ling Rong went to visit her. Chun Changzai arrived a step later and called her "Sister Hui" in a very intimate manner.

I hope I don’t run into Concubine Chun today, Lingrong thought silently in her heart.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Lingrong had just exchanged a few words with Shen Meiyu when Chun Changzai walked in. As soon as she came in, she started clamoring for the lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake made by Sister Hui.

"Go slowly," Shen Meizhuang smiled when she saw her coming, "There are plenty of lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cakes, your portion won't be missing."

"Sister Hui's cakes are so delicious. Chun'er can't eat enough. Her clothes have become a little tight these days."

Chun Changzai spread her arms and turned slightly. She stuck close to Shen Meizhuang and blinked her bright eyes at Lingrong. "Sister An is here too. We are so destined to meet each other every time."

"Yes," Ling Rong's face was also full of smiles. She held the cup of Biluochun in front of her and inexplicably felt that she had drunk too much tea today. "Maybe when I come, the door of Cunju Hall will open, and the delicious smell of sugar cakes will float out.

Chun Changzai has such a keen nose, so naturally he couldn't help but come over."

The smile on Chun Chang's face almost froze. She pursed her lips imperceptibly and pulled Shen Meizhuang's arm to shake her, "Sister Hui, why don't you help me when you see Concubine An bullying Chun'er?"

Shen Meizhuang just smiled. She would not openly support Chun Changzai, but her bias in her heart was still exposed.

"Look at you. Lady An was just joking, but you took it so seriously."

Lingrong did not respond to this conversation. The tea in her hand seemed particularly attractive at this moment. No matter how Shen Meizhuang and Chun Changzai talked, Lingrong pretended not to hear and refused to look up.

"Sister Hui, do you think Chun'er ate too many sweet cakes and don't help Chun'er?"

"How could that be? Every time you come here, I always make you the freshest pastries."

After a while, the two of them finally finished being so "sweet", and Lingrong put down the teacup and smiled at them.

"Sister Shen and Concubine Chun have a really good relationship. I feel relieved now. But there are some people and things that I still need to be alert to face."

"During these days in Yuanmingyuan, I have figured out a lot of things." Shen Meizhuang shook her head, as if she remembered something bad, "I understand what my sister has left unsaid.

It's just that there are some things I haven't figured out yet, so please allow me to escape for a few more days."

Ling Rong was helped up by Zhao Shui. She raised her hands to protect her stomach and continued speaking only after she stood firmly.

It's good that my sister knows what's going on. If I say too much, it would be just nagging and would make my sister feel annoyed.

Sister, just take good care of yourself. I will come to visit you again in a few days."

Shen Meizhuang said yes. She wanted to get up and see her off, but Chun Changzai pulled her arm and acted like a spoiled child, so she couldn't get up. She had no choice but to ask Caixing to send Lingrong to the door.

Caixing always remembers Lingrong's life-saving grace and always respects Lingrong very much.

Today she always felt that Lady Lingrong was feeling a little jealous because of Concubine Chun, so she spoke hesitantly, wanting to explain a few words for her lady.

Unfortunately, she was too embarrassed to speak even when they were at the door. It was Zhaoshui who noticed something was wrong and took the initiative to ask Caixing if she had anything to say.

"Mr. An, our young master has been in a bad mood these days because of Concubine Zhen's affairs.

Chun always loves to make noises and laugh. The young lady is always happy with her and likes to talk to her more.

But I know that in the young master's heart, he still cares about Lady An the most."

Lingrong knew in her heart that Shen Meizhuang liked Chun Changzai more than she did Chun Changzai.

After all, she looked like a little girl who loved to make noises and laugh, and she looked heartless, making people feel unsuspecting.

However, she and her former good sister looked down on each other, and she even analyzed the possibility that Concubine Zhen was harming Concubine Tian.

I'm afraid Shen Meizhuang has already doubted my motives and wanted to stay away from me.

Only Cai Xing, the fool, was bound by a life-saving favor that came to her on impulse, and had to try her best to ease the relationship between the two.

"I have known Lady Hui for a long time, so there is no need for those polite words. When I am fully recovered, I will be able to walk around more often."

Cai Xing heard Ling Rong's answer and smiled happily, "I will prepare Miss An's favorite scented tea every day, so that Miss An can drink it happily."

In past and present lives, Lingrong had drunk countless good teas, and now this scented tea was no longer the only one she loved.

But Caixing was very happy because she remembered these little things.

"Okay, we won't be asked to prepare tea for nothing."

Lingrong talked to Caixing without any airs, and even took her hand and asked her to look after Concubine Hui at all times and not to let her be too sad and cry herself to death.

“If you still can’t sleep well at night, go ask the imperial physician to prescribe some tranquilizing soup.

Imperial Doctor He and Imperial Doctor Wen are both experts in the medical field and will surely help Concubine Hui to sleep well."

Cai Xing sighed, she turned her head and looked in the direction of Cun Ju Tang, "The young lady refused to ask Doctor Wen to see her, always saying that she knows her own body best.

But he lost a lot of weight in just three or five days, and I was really scared when I saw him."

Zhaoshui blinked in confusion and pointed to the gate of Xianfu Palace. "I passed by here yesterday and saw Doctor Wen coming to Xianfu Palace. Didn't he prescribe some medicine for Concubine Hui?"

Cai Xing shook her head. She was really worried about Shen Meizhuang. She wanted to ask Lingrong to persuade her, so she said a few more words, "Imperial Doctor Wen was supposed to treat the young lady yesterday, but the young lady said that Concubine Jing has been feeling unwell for the past two days, so she asked Imperial Doctor Wen to take good care of Concubine Jing.

He also said that everything was fine here and that Doctor Wen didn't need to worry about it."

Cai Xing really didn't understand why the young lady wanted to torture herself like this.

"Lady Hui is suffering from a heart disease, which cannot be cured by the imperial physician." Ling Rong raised her chin and motioned Cai Xing to look in the direction of Baohua Palace, "Sisters betraying each other is the most heartbreaking.

With Chun Chang trying to make up for the regrettable sisterly love, I believe that Concubine Hui will recover faster."

Caixing nodded. In fact, she hoped that the young lady would be on good terms with Concubine An rather than Concubine Chun who would rush over as soon as she heard that the emperor was coming to Cunju Hall.

I always feel that she is very scheming and her innocent look is probably just pretend.

But she didn't dare to slander behind his back. If her masters heard it, she would be punished.

Therefore, she could only nod and repeatedly invited Lingrong to come visit her mistress often.

Only after Lingrong readily agreed did Caixing become happy and watched Lingrong leave Xianfu Palace.

Lingrong's sedan chair was waiting outside. Xianfu Palace was not too close to Chengqian Palace. Even if she didn't want to show off, she had to sit in the sedan chair to avoid any mistakes.

"My lady is getting heavier now. In the future, when you want to send gifts to Lady Hui, you should ask me to run errands for you."

"There are some things that you can only hear when you come in person." Ling Rong felt a little dizzy. She squinted her eyes and relaxed, looking weak.

"Otherwise, how would we know that Imperial Doctor Wen was indeed recommended to Concubine Jing by Concubine Hui?"

"I will investigate this Imperial Doctor Wen later. He has a close relationship with several ladies in the palace and is more trusted than the Imperial Hospital's chief judge. It's really strange."

Doctor Wen is indeed an excellent doctor, and it is not surprising that he is trusted by everyone. However, the masters he serves all have close ties with Zhen Huan.

His help was Zhen Huan's help, and these concubines were naturally very clear about it.

"He has his own strengths," Ling Rong did not want to talk about these things outside. If someone heard it, there would be another storm. "Let's just wait for good news from Xianfu Palace."

The sedan chair was moving steadily, but the wind gradually picked up. Ling Rong's knees felt a little painful from the wind, and she couldn't help but hold the handrail tightly, trying to divert the pain.

Suddenly, perhaps because the bearer's hands were not steady or some other problem occurred, the sedan chair tilted suddenly and almost threw Lingrong off.

Fortunately, Lingrong held on to the handrail tightly, so she was not harmed unconsciously.

Zhaoshui hurriedly asked everyone to stop. She hugged Lingrong and asked Xiaochizi to ask everyone what had happened.

Ling Rong's heart was pounding, and even though Zhao Shui was holding her, she didn't dare let go and still held the armrest tightly.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. I will support you." Zhaoshui was also very scared at this time. She tried to calm down and felt Lingrong's pulse. "Do you feel any pain in your abdomen or any redness?"

Ling Rong shook her head. She finally managed to calm her pounding heart, but her voice was still trembling slightly. "Fortunately, I was holding onto the handrail, so I wasn't hurt."

Because the incident had just happened, Xiao Chizi quickly found out the problem - it turned out that one of the sedan chair bearers was hit in the calf by something, and the pain almost made him kneel down, so he failed to hold the sedan chair steady.

Xiao Chi also found the object that hit the sedan bearer, it was just a small stone.

Such sundries were never allowed to be left on the palace roads. If they were in the imperial garden, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find them even if I wanted to.

"This is it," Xiao Chizi held up the small stone, "I compared it with the bruises on the sedan bearer's body, and it's correct."

Ling Rong subconsciously looked at the high palace walls around her. She had just sat at the highest position and did not notice where someone was ambushing.

It's too late to realize what happened now. The person who did it has already run away without a trace, and there is no way to find him.

"Xiao Chizi, look along this palace wall and see where is the best place to hide people, especially the best place to hit the sedan bearers."

Ling Rong didn't believe that the person who did this would leave no trace. As long as there was a little evidence, there would be a chance to catch him.

Xiao Chizi nodded, put the stone in his arms, and walked along the palace wall back to the original place.

The wounds on the sedan bearer's legs were lighter on the left and heavier on the right. The man must be hiding on the right side of the palace wall. We should not miss any evidence if we follow the search.

"My lady, let's go back first. I am not an expert in medicine, so we should ask the imperial physician to take a look."

Lingrong nodded. She leaned over to Zhaoshui's ear and told him to make a big deal out of the matter. Then she held her stomach and cried out in pain.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the palace road. The sedan bearers were frightened and didn't know what to do. They had to slow down and carefully send the master back to Chengqian Palace.

This night is destined to be full of noise for a long time before we can rest in peace.
