Chapter 112 An Lingrong is pregnant

"Doctor Jiang, could you please take a look at Concubine An? What's wrong with her body?"

After seeing the imperial physician coming, Nian Shilan quickly told the physician that she had the same guess in her mind about An Lingrong's recent discomfort, but it was not confirmed yet.

The imperial physician put down his medicine box, placed a layer of gauze on An Lingrong's wrist, and then skillfully took her pulse.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for the imperial physician to give the final result. Even An Lingrong's face showed a hint of anticipation.

"Congratulations, Madam An, you are almost two months pregnant."

"Ah? Really?"

An Lingrong seemed a little reluctant to believe what the imperial physician said. Although she was looking forward to it very much, when it really came true, she suddenly felt like she was in a dream.

"Yes, Your Majesty will probably feel a little sleepy and have a poor appetite these days. These are all normal symptoms. You should pay a little attention in the future and never be careless with your diet."

An Lingrong had indeed been experiencing the symptoms the imperial physician described in recent days, but she thought they were caused by the recent summer heat and never thought that it was because she was pregnant.

"That's great, Anpin. You must remember what the imperial physician said. You must pay close attention to all aspects in the future and must not make any mistakes."

Although several princes and princesses have been born in the palace in the past two years, as the empress dowager, she certainly hopes that the royal family will have as many offspring as possible.

The Queen Mother looked at An Lingrong. Although she was not as dignified and graceful as Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan in front of others, she was also well-behaved and sensible. Now that more and more people in the palace were pregnant with royal heirs, it was really a great thing.

"Songzhi, please send the imperial physician out safely."

Nian Shilan was also very happy for An Lingrong. She would not have her own children in this life, so she hoped that all her good sisters could have children.

"Well, it's getting late, let's go first. Concubine An should go back and have a good rest. I'll have someone tell the emperor the good news later."

The Queen Mother had been feeling a little tired after being away for so long, and now that she heard such good news, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Farewell, Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

With Zhuxi's support, the empress dowager returned to Shoukang Palace first.

"Congratulations, Lingrong, you will be my mother in the future."

Zhen Huan walked to An Lingrong, patted her shoulder gently, and congratulated her softly.

"Sister, thank you, thank you."

An Lingrong's eyes soon became moist, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

She never thought that she would be so lucky to reach where she is today. When she was used as a tool by the Queen's side, she thought that this was the end of her life. She never knew when she would become someone else's scapegoat because of some trivial matter.

But now, she not only has sisters who truly care about her, but also has children of her own. All of this is brought to her by these people.

"Okay, Lingrong, as a mother, you can't shed tears. Otherwise, it would be bad if a little crybaby is born."

Shen Meizhuang's words made An Lingrong burst into laughter.

"Sister Mei is teasing me again."

The smile on her face was so bright that the people around her were all affected by her smile and laughed out loud. For a moment, the whole pavilion was filled with laughter.

"By the way, the Queen Mother is now aware of Lingrong's pregnancy, and it's definitely impossible to keep it a secret in the harem. We must be more careful of the Queen and others in the future."

When Zhen Huan thought of the queen who would cause trouble from time to time, her brows couldn't help but frown. Everyone just wanted to live a peaceful life, but there were some people who were restless all day long.

"Speaking of the Queen, Concubine Qi should also be careful. Lingrong knows how to make incense. She noticed Concubine Qi's abnormality when she was in the palace before. I thought she would make some moves, but I didn't expect her to be so patient. I wonder what she is planning."

When hearing Zhen Huan mention the Queen, Nian Shilan thought of what happened in the palace before, and told Zhen Huan about it in detail.

"The Empress doesn't like concubines getting pregnant, and Concubine Qi got pregnant right under her nose. I think she can't tolerate such a person. However, she doesn't have many people around her who can be used, so she probably won't completely break off relations with her. As for Concubine Qi, it seems we have been a little mistaken before. She actually has the courage to use perfume to seduce the Emperor. She must be no simple person."

Zhen Huan's words were almost the same as what Nian Shilan was thinking.

"This Concubine Qi's pregnant body is a danger to us. No one can tell when she will harm others. The most important thing now is that Lingrong cannot have any contact with this Concubine Qi."

It is not certain who Concubine Qi is planning to use this baby to deal with, but An Lingrong is pregnant now, so there must be no mistakes.

Just as Nian Shilan was speculating about Concubine Qi's behavior, Concubine Qi soon came to her door.

When Nian Shilan heard Songzhi say that Concubine Qi was coming, she subconsciously didn't want to see her, but she also wanted to know what Concubine Qi was planning.

What's more, according to Songzhi, this Concubine Qi seemed to be unwilling to leave until she saw her. She was pregnant now. If something happened in Yiku Palace, she would be inextricably linked to it.

"Go to Trumpchi, please come in."

When Concubine Qi came in, she saw that Nian Shilan looked indifferent towards her, but she was not too surprised.

She smiled and bowed to Nian Shilan: "Have I disturbed your Majesty's rest?"

"Stand up and take a seat."

"Lady Qi is pregnant now. Why doesn't she take good care of her delicate body in Chuxiu Palace? Why did she come to me? I haven't been feeling well lately. If there's nothing wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to chat with you."

Nian Shilan did not respond to Concubine Qi's words, but directly asked her purpose.

Concubine Qi stood up and took two steps closer to Nian Shilan. "It is precisely because of my current pregnancy that I would like to ask Your Majesty for help."

When Concubine Qi walked towards Nian Shilan, Songzhi subconsciously stood a little in front of Nian Shilan. She saw clearly that the smile that flashed in Concubine Qi's eyes was full of malice.

"Your Highness, you are now the Imperial Concubine, assisting the Empress in managing the affairs of the harem. Since I became pregnant, I have been unable to sleep day or night, and I am always worried about various things. So I thought of coming to you to seek a little protection from you. I hope your Highness will grant me this."

Lady Qi's words seemed full of fear, but a closer look at her expression revealed that her purpose this time was definitely not that simple.

"Noble Lady Qi, what are you talking about? You have a royal heir, so you are naturally blessed by the royal family. Although I am a noble concubine, the Empress is the master of the harem. I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."

Nian Shilan didn't take what Concubine Qi said to heart. The purpose of her saying that was to tie herself to the child in her belly. If anything went wrong, the child would be used as evidence to frame her.

"Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to help me at all? You know I'm pregnant now, and it's easy to get a miscarriage if I'm not careful."

Nian Shilan was not someone who would be threatened by others. She was so angry that she laughed at Concubine Qi's words.

She used to think that Concubine Qi had some brains, but now it seems that she is still a fool. It is really a waste of her energy. She shouted loudly to the outside.

"Zhou Ninghai, go get Doctor Jiang. Concubine Qi is having a miscarriage. Tell him to come without delay."
