When Zhen Heng heard someone calling him Lord Zhen, he finally responded and bowed and said:

"I pay my respects to Concubine Hui, may you live in peace and good health! My younger sister often mentions you. Thanks to your care over the past few years, the Zhen family has been able to survive until now."

Shen Meimei smiled slightly and said:

"I wonder if Uncle Zhen and Aunt Zhen are doing okay?"

She actually wanted to ask Zhen Heng whether he had a wife and children, but unfortunately what she asked was something else.

Zhen Heng nodded and said, "Everything is fine at home. Thank you, Concubine Hui, for your concern."

Shen Meimei really couldn't ask, so she smiled and said:

"Do you know who is imprisoned in Yanxi Palace?"

Zhen Heng was stunned, and his expression was obviously lonely for a moment. He bowed and said:

"I know that it was the Emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine An, who once lived in the Zhen Mansion for a period of time."

It turns out that he knew. Then what kind of feelings did he have for An Lingrong?

Shen Meimei couldn't ask directly, so she had to go in and see An Lingrong first.

Although the emperor had confined An Lingrong and did not allow her to come out, it did not mean that people from outside could not go in to visit her. Shen Meimei slipped in quietly, and no one would know unless the guards told her.

An Lingrong was very calm. She sat on the couch with a lot of needles and threads beside her, as well as patterns for making clothes for the children.

When she saw Shen Meimei coming in, she didn't feel strange, but went up to greet her enthusiastically.

Shen Meimei looked closely at An Lingrong's eyes, which had changed from being full of calculations to becoming more innocent.

"Sister Mei, you are here? This is the dress I made for Princess Jinghe. Can I make clothes for girls from one to sixteen years old? I have already cut out the patterns, but I am not sure about the sizes. However, children grow slowly, so I can make it slowly. Prepare the patterns first and then embroider them when the time comes!" An Lingrong said to herself.

Shen Meimei felt that An Lingrong was indeed different from before. She had become more easy-going and quieter, and she seemed to have seen through many things.

"Sister An, do you know who the guards outside are?" Shen Meimei asked tentatively.

An Lingrong shook her head. She didn’t care who was in charge of the guard. She was under house arrest anyway, and the Yanx Palace would be a cold palace from now on.

Shen Meimei didn't keep it a secret and said directly:

"It's Huan'er's brother Zhen Heng. I heard that it was Zhen Heng and Liu Zhu who took you into the Zhen Mansion together. Do you still remember it?"

When An Lingrong heard the word Zhen Heng, her hands trembled noticeably, and the needle in her hand almost stabbed herself. She shook her head and said:

"I can't remember the past clearly!"

When Shen Meimei saw An Lingrong's reaction, she knew that she must still be deeply in love with Zhen Heng, but due to her status and etiquette, she no longer wanted to mention this relationship.

An Lingrong was humming a little tune while doing needlework, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Meimei took out a bottle of throat medicine from her arms and handed it to her:

"Take three pills a day, and your throat will soon be healed! Now that the Queen is under house arrest, and the servants of Jingren Palace have also been sent to the Ministry of Punishment, I'm afraid that soon, no one will be able to control you anymore. You will be yourself, Sister An, live well!"

Shen Meimei spoke sincerely, and her eyes showed her expectations for An Lingrong.

"Sister Mei, I treated you like that, but you can repay me with kindness! I will repay you for your kindness in my next life. I will treat my throat and not compete for your favor. From now on, sister will play the piano and I will sing, okay?"
