An Lingrong after rebirth

"Qiufang, what should we do?" Lian'er looked at An Lingrong's face twisted with pain, her heart aching, and her voice involuntarily trembled and cried.

"Lian'er, don't panic! I'll go and get Dr. Luo Rui right away." Qiu Fang forced herself to calm down, and gently comforted Lian'er who was almost on the verge of collapse, while speaking hurriedly in a worried tone.

"You must hurry, Sister Qiufang! Seeing the young lady in this state is really heartbreaking." Lian'er's tears kept rolling in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any time.

"Don't worry, I know this matter is urgent, and I will do my best to speed it up. You just stay here and take good care of the young lady, and don't leave without permission." After saying this, Qiufang did not dare to delay at all, and ran away hurriedly.

Not long after, Qiufang was seen leading the imperial physician Luo Rui hurriedly back into the house.

"Imperial Physician, please check on the young lady's condition as soon as possible!" Qiu Fang's face was full of anxiety, and she urged in a hurried tone.

"Okay, I'll come and take a look." Doctor Luo Rui responded, and then quickly walked to the bedside and began to examine An Lingrong's physical condition with full concentration and meticulousness.

"Excuse me, Imperial Physician, what is the young lady's current condition? Is she seriously injured?" Qiufang clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her heart in her throat, and asked in an extremely nervous expression.

"Fortunately, the poison that the young lady has been poisoned with is not serious. I will immediately prescribe an antidote that will surely effectively alleviate the young lady's pain." Imperial Physician Luo Rui pondered for a moment and replied slowly.

"That's good, that's good." Qiufang breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart finally settled down a little.

"But how did this happen? How could the young lady be poisoned for no apparent reason?" Imperial Physician Luo Rui frowned, his face full of suspicion, his eyes revealing deep worry and confusion.

"We really don't know, Lord Imperial Physician. The young lady was safe and sound this morning, and everything was normal. Who could have expected such a sudden change in the blink of an eye." Lian'er burst into tears as she spoke, her grief-stricken look was heartbreaking.

"This matter is really strange..." Imperial Doctor Luo Rui muttered to himself as he fell into deep thought, as if trying to find a clue from this confusing case.

Qiu Fang stared at An Lingrong, who was dying on the sickbed, and her heart was overwhelmed by endless regret: "It's all my fault. If I had been able to see through Bao Que's sinister and cunning plot earlier, perhaps the young master would not have suffered such a bad fate." She secretly regretted and hated herself for not being able to protect her master and letting her suffer this hardship for no reason.

"Right now is not the time to condemn ourselves. The most urgent task is to find the real culprit as soon as possible. We must not let the young lady fall into danger and suffer again." Imperial Doctor Luo Rui said solemnly, his words revealing a firm and resolute determination.

"What the imperial physician said is absolutely right. We must go all out to find out the truth and bring the vicious murderer to justice to avenge the young lady!" Upon hearing this, Lian'er clenched her fists tightly and said with gritted teeth, with resentment flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Imperial Physician Luo Rui did not dare to delay in the slightest. He quickly quickened his pace and began to examine An Lingrong's physical condition in detail with full concentration.

He sometimes touched the pulse, sometimes opened his eyelids, and sometimes sniffed the breath. Every action was extremely cautious and focused, for fear of missing any key clues. The whole room was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. Everyone held their breath and prayed silently for a miracle to happen.

"Miss An, how is your health now?" Imperial Physician Luo Rui asked softly with a look of concern on his face.

An Lingrong's face was as pale as paper, and her breath was weak. She responded in a trembling voice: "I... I feel dizzy, as if the world is spinning, and my chest is extremely stuffy, as if a thousand-pound burden is pressing on it. I can't breathe, and my stomach hurts unbearably."

Imperial Physician Luo Rui did not dare to delay. He first gently opened An Lingrong's tightly closed eyes and carefully checked the changes in her pupils. Then he stretched out his right hand, placed three fingers on An Lingrong's slender wrist, and concentrated on taking her pulse and diagnosing her.

"Hmm... the pulse seems a little chaotic..." Imperial Physician Luo Rui couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself in a low voice.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and opened the medicine box he carried with him, took out several long and thin silver needles, and arranged them neatly on the table.

Then he turned around, looked at An Lingrong gently and said, "My lady, in my opinion, perhaps acupuncture may be needed to alleviate the pain of your current illness, but please rest assured, it will not be too painful. I hope you will not be afraid."

An Lingrong bit her lips tightly and nodded slightly to indicate her agreement: "Thank you, Imperial Physician, for your concern."

After getting permission, Doctor Luo Rui took a deep breath, calmed himself, and began to perform acupuncture treatment on An Lingrong with full concentration and caution. His technique was skillful, his movements were light and steady, and he did not forget to ask An Lingrong softly if she felt any discomfort when each needle fell.

"My dear, does this place cause any pain or strange feeling?"

"It's okay... just a little sting."

Doctor Luo Rui's expression became more serious. He knew that An Lingrong's condition seemed to be more serious than he thought.

After the acupuncture, Doctor Luo Rui sighed and said to Qiufang and Lian'er, "The young lady's physical condition is not bad, and she needs to be recuperated for a period of time.

I will prescribe some prescriptions for you. Remember to give it to the young lady on time. It is best to have someone you trust make the medicine so that she will not be poisoned again. "Qiu Fang and Lian Er nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would definitely do as instructed.

Doctor Luo Rui gave a few more instructions, then picked up his medicine box and left.

Qiufang and Lian'er stayed by An Lingrong's side, both feeling very heavy-hearted.

They were not sure who had poisoned her, nor did they know if something similar would happen again. At this time, although An Lingrong was still very weak, her consciousness was gradually becoming clearer.

She thought of everything that had happened before, and her heart was filled with doubts and fear. She didn't understand why someone wanted to poison her, and she (Hua Fei) and she (the Queen) didn't know whether she could escape this disaster.

Could it be that he was teaching himself a lesson? When An Lingrong thought of this possibility, she felt a chill in her heart.

She held Qiufang and Lian'er's hands tightly, tears glistening in her eyes...

Eunuch Xia, who was beside the emperor, came to the Yanx Palace again and brought the emperor's oral instructions.

"My lady, the emperor has given an oral order." Eunuch Xia said respectfully.

In the west hall of the Yanx Palace, An Lingrong's face was as pale as paper, and her delicate body looked extremely weak, but she still forced herself to sit up slowly from the bed, and then walked forward with unsteady steps and caution to receive the imperial edict.

Her beautiful and slightly pure eyes revealed endless tension and anxiety. She asked Eunuch Xia in a weak and trembling voice, "Eunuch Xia, I wonder what the emperor meant by this oral order?"

Eunuch Xia looked at the pitiful woman in front of him and said softly, "My lady, the emperor will come to have dinner with you tonight. Please make all preparations in advance."

Hearing this, An Lingrong couldn't help but feel happy, but at the same time, she also felt an indescribable nervousness. She lowered her head and said, "Lingrong will obey the emperor's will."

"My lady, please get up quickly," An Lingrong stood up with Qiufang's support.

Eunuch Xia saw that An Lingrong looked pale and weak, and asked with concern: "Young Master, are you feeling unwell? Are you sick? Have you called the imperial physician?"

Qiu Fang quickly replied, "My Lord, I have asked Dr. Luo Rui to come and see the young lady. She has been poisoned. Fortunately, Dr. Luo is a skilled doctor and has already cured her of the poison."

Eunuch Xia frowned and asked, "Poisoned? What happened? Can you find out who did it?"

Qiu Fang glanced at An Lingrong and whispered, "Eunuch, this matter has not been clarified yet, please don't make it public."

An Lingrong's pale face showed a trace of gratitude, and she said softly: "Thank you for your concern, eunuch. Lingrong will take good care of herself and recover soon."

Eunuch Xia smiled and nodded, saying softly: "My lady, please have a good rest. If you need anything, just let me know." His voice was gentle and respectful, revealing his concern for Young Master An.

Lady An raised her head slightly, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, and she responded softly: "Thank you, Eunuch Xia, I'm fine." Her voice was as clear and pleasant as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

Eunuch Xia seemed to remember something and asked again, "My lady, are you willing to inform the Emperor?" There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

An Lingrong's face turned pale for a moment. She quickly interrupted Eunuch Xia and said anxiously, "It's okay. Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Xia. We haven't confirmed who did it yet."

Seeing this, Eunuch Xia quickly comforted her, "Young Master, don't worry. We are just concerned about your health."

An Lingrong took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said, "Eunuch Xia, I know you have good intentions, but this matter needs to be considered carefully. When the emperor comes, I will ask Qiufang to mention it and see his attitude."

Eunuch Xia nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, my lady. I will keep it a secret."

An Lingrong looked at Eunuch Xia gratefully and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Xia."

Eunuch Xia smiled and said, "I'll take my leave now. My lady, please call me anytime if you have any instructions." After saying that, he turned and left.

An Lingrong looked at Eunuch Xia's back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that she needed to carefully consider whether she could tell the emperor about the poisoning. The emperor was suspicious by nature, and sometimes it was not appropriate for her to speak up, otherwise the emperor would suspect that it was a means of winning favor!

"My lady, why don't you just tell the emperor directly?" Lian'er asked in confusion.

An Lingrong sighed softly, "Lian'er, you don't understand the emperor's personality. He is suspicious. If I speak rashly, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion."

"But my lady, if you keep it secret like this, wouldn't it be even worse if the emperor finds out?" Lian'er said anxiously.

An Lingrong frowned slightly, "I also know that this matter cannot be delayed, but I must find a suitable time. I want the emperor to believe me and not think that I am deliberately seeking favor."

"What does the young lady plan to do?" Lian'er asked.

Qiu Fang made a suggestion, and An Lingrong pondered for a moment, "I need to observe the emperor's attitude first. If the emperor asks, I will tell him tactfully. If the emperor doesn't care, I will think of other ways."

"But my lady, isn't this too risky?" Lian'er said worriedly.

An Lingrong looked at Lian'er firmly, "Lian'er, I know this is risky, but I have no choice. For our future, I have to do this and be more careful."

At dinner time, the emperor arrived at the Yanx Palace on time.

An Lingrong came forward and said in a tender voice, "Your Majesty, you are here. I have specially prepared your favorite food for you." Qiufang waited on the two of them while they ate.

The emperor smiled and sat down, saying, "My beloved concubine is thoughtful."

An Lingrong asked softly, "Your Majesty, would you like to drink some 'Peach Blossom Wine'? This is something my uncle asked someone to bring into the palace. It tastes good."

A hint of curiosity flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he said, "Oh? Then I'd like to try it."

An Lingrong hurriedly poured a glass for the emperor and handed it to him.

The emperor took a sip and praised, "Mm, it is indeed a good wine, with a mellow taste and fragrant aroma. My beloved concubine should try it too."

Qiu Fang quickly replied, "My lady cannot drink, Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned and asked in confusion, "Why can't I drink it?"

Qiu Fang looked nervous and said softly, "The young lady was poisoned and has just recovered. Although the poison is not serious, she still needs to be nursed back to health."

When the emperor heard this, his face changed and he asked nervously, "Poisoned? How could it be poisoned? Have you found out?"

Qiu Fang quickly replied, "Your Majesty, we have already found out that someone poisoned your food. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and you are no longer in danger."

The emperor slammed the table in anger and said sternly: "How dare you! How dare you poison the palace! We must investigate thoroughly and find out who is behind this!"

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said sternly, "What's going on, Qiu Fanglian'er, tell me!"

Qiu Fang lowered her head and replied with a slightly trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I was the first to discover that Bao Que was abnormal."

She raised her head, glanced at the emperor, then quickly lowered her head and continued, "I just thought Bao Que's behavior was a little strange at the time, but I didn't expect her to act so quickly and make the young master suffer!"

Lian Er also quickly agreed, "Your Majesty, everything Aunt Qiu Fang said is true. I also saw Bao Que sneaking around the young lady, but I didn't expect her to be so bold as to do harm to the young lady!"

The emperor frowned even more after hearing this, thinking about how to deal with this matter. After a while, he stopped, looked at Qiufang and Lian'er, and said, "You two, tell me the details of what happened first, and don't hide anything!"

Qiufang and Lian'er looked at each other, then Qiufang took a deep breath and began to describe the incident in detail. Her voice was sometimes low and sometimes excited, as if she had returned to the scene at that time. Lian'er added some details from time to time to make the whole thing clearer.
