She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 108: Legend of Zhen Huan 53

An Lingrong saw that everyone in the room was looking at her, and her mind moved slightly. "I'm not too sure, I just remember that there was a particularly large red coral in Concubine Zhao's room. It was said that the emperor specially sent it here to be placed at the head of Concubine Zhao's bed, saying that it could make Concubine Zhao and the baby in her belly immune to all evil, and..."

"What else?"

An Lingrong paused for a moment, "And I've seen Zhaopin's embroidered shoes with little finger-sized pearls..."

"Dongzhu? Lingrong, are you sure?"

Shen Meizhuang thought it was okay at first. After all, a favored concubine must be treated as a favored concubine. It goes without saying that the food, clothing and other necessities are the best. Coral is rare, but just rare. As for the oriental pearl, it has always been only the emperor, empress and queen dowager that can use it.

At this moment, several people simultaneously recalled the confrontation between the Queen and Concubine Hua over Dongzhu and jadeite on the day of the greeting.

Zhen Huan also frowned, "Lingrong, think carefully, is it possible that you have not seen Dongzhu and Nanzhu very often, so you confused them?"

An Lingrong was a little unhappy. Although she had some thoughts in her heart when she said these words, she was not stupid. How could she tell such a lie that could be easily exposed?

"Although Lingrong is of low status, she is not a bumpkin who has never seen anything."

When Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang heard An Lingrong say this, they frowned at the same time. Lingrong was good in everything else except that she was too sensitive.

Zhen Huan stood up and walked to An Lingrong, putting her arm around her shoulders. "Lingrong, you know we don't mean that. Dongzhu is not an ordinary thing after all. If we make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

An Lingrong had come to her senses by now and realized that she had just exposed her inner thoughts, so she quickly took the initiative.

"Sister, although I don't have Dongzhu, I have seen the Empress wearing it. How could I not be able to tell the difference? Moreover, Dongzhu is very involved. If I'm not sure, I won't tell you."

Hearing An Lingrong's affirmative words, Zhen Huan was somewhat moved, but she did not show it. Liuzhu had followed Jinxi before and knew a lot of taboos, so she spoke as soon as she heard it.

"Only the emperor, empress, and queen mother can wear this Dongzhu. Concubine Zhao is really too bold. Isn't this a crime of usurpation?"

When Huanbi heard Liuzhu say this, her hand holding the handkerchief tightened and an idea popped into her mind.

"Isn't this just relying on the emperor's favor to covet things that don't belong to her? I think we should report this to the Empress Dowager and let her punish her."

Shen Meizhuang saw Liuzhu and Huanbi singing the same tune and was worried that the matter would get bigger and bigger, and then all three of them would suffer.

"Okay, don't say any more. Once you leave this door, just forget about what happened today."

Shen Meizhuang has a noble character. She has had smooth sailing since entering the palace without any setbacks. She disdains to harm others in this way.

Moreover, it is clear that Zhaopin's Dongzhu was a reward from the Emperor. If he were to report Zhaopin for overstepping her authority, who knows what would happen in the end?

If she left a bad impression on the emperor and lost her job in charge of palace affairs, that would be a case of losing the big picture for the small. Therefore, Shen Meizhuang did not want to cause any more trouble.

Seeing that Shen Meiyu had already made up her mind about the matter, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan decided not to dwell on it. However, An Lingrong thought of the Imperial Doctor Wen she met in the Yanx Palace and the desire that just flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes, and wanted to add fuel to the fire.

"Sister, I often run into Doctor Wen in Yanxi Palace."

Zhen Huan raised her eyes, "But who in the Yanxi Palace is unwell?"

An Lingrong smiled and told what she knew about Wen Shichu's identity, "Sister, don't you know that Imperial Doctor Wen is in charge of Concubine Zhao's dragon fetus? He has to check Concubine Zhao's pulse every day."

Shen Meizhuang was very surprised. She knew that Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan knew each other and they had a good relationship. "What? Wen Shichu was responsible for Concubine Zhao's pregnancy?"

"Yes, Imperial Doctor Wen is in charge, and Dean Zhang is assisting. After all, Dean Zhang is also responsible for the safety of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Zhen Huan had never heard Wen Shichu say this, but she had never asked him these questions. Thinking of the news she got from An Lingrong today, Zhen Huan decided to ask Wen Shichu to come over after she returned.

The three of them then spent half a day chatting about some trivial matters in the palace.

After a whole morning of fermentation, almost everyone in the harem knew what happened last night, and Nian Shilan was obviously about to become a thing of the past.

Concubine Duan drank the medicine brought by Jixiang and felt that the medicine was as if it was mixed with honey, which made the person who drank it feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

She sat back on the bed and laughed, "Retribution, retribution! She was so arrogant when she was young. As soon as she entered the palace, she seduced me so much that I couldn't see anyone else. Now it's her turn to taste what others tasted back then."

Jixiang gently wiped the corners of Concubine Duan's mouth with a handkerchief, and was happy for his queen in his heart, "Queen, you must take good care of yourself. We still have to see what happens to Nian Shilan."

Concubine Duan smiled and looked out the window. The spring sky was like a light blue curtain. The breeze was blowing gently, and the warm sunshine covered the entire earth, bringing a sense of prosperity.

Concubine Duan found that she seemed to have not observed the outside world carefully for a long time. Staying in the house all day made her heart become much darker along with the house.

"Jixiang, let's go out and get some sunshine. We're almost getting moldy staying in the house."

It was rare for Jixiang to see her master in a good mood, so there was no reason for her not to respond. "Yes, I'll arrange it right away. The azaleas in the yard are in full bloom. Thanks to the queen, I can also go and enjoy the flowers."

"correct."

Jixiang suddenly remembered that the Empress and Wan Chang had met before, "Empress, where is Wan Chang?"

When Concubine Duan heard Jixiang's words, she said calmly, "Let's just get along for now. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Unlike Concubine Duan who was happy, Concubine Li was not in a good mood. That was her personality. She looked flamboyant, but it was all bluffing. In the past, she relied on Nian Shilan and all she had to do was flatter Nian Shilan. Now that Nian Shilan was unreliable, Concubine Li felt insecure.

The news spread throughout the palace and six courtyards, and everyone had different feelings. Fu Cha Xinyun, who caused this result, was currently looking through the script that Jue Luo brought in yesterday.

Fu Cha Xinyun searched the entire room but couldn't find it. "Yutong Yulan, please help me find it. Where did you put the script that my mother brought into the palace yesterday? I remember clearly putting it on the table over there."

Fu Cha Xinyu thought to herself, one pregnancy will make a woman stupid for three years, so it won’t start now, right?

Yutong and Yulan pushed each other, and finally they both went in and knelt in front of Fucha Xinyun, "Your Majesty, the notebooks have been taken away by the emperor."

"Your Majesty? Why is Your Majesty taking my notebook?"
