Chapter 67 An Lingrong's Defection

After hearing Baojuan's words, An Lingrong did not react immediately, but just looked at her deeply.

Baojuan raised her head slightly and happened to meet An Lingrong's eyes. She knew that An Lingrong did not completely believe what she said, but she was not anxious. She believed that An Lingrong would figure it out eventually.

"Baojuan, you've been with me for some time now, so I naturally have a level of trust in you that no one else has. I know you're doing this for my own good, but I still need to think this over carefully."

An Lingrong knew very well that her current situation was not optimistic, but when she chose the queen, there was already a rift between her, Zhen Huan and Chen Meizhuang.

If she really wants to regain her sisterhood with them, she must think about it carefully.

"Tomorrow morning, let's go to Cunju Hall to see Huipin first, and then go to Suiyuxuan. You go and prepare some gifts and we'll take them there together."

Fortunately, she hasn't done anything to let Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu down, and the things she did to help the Queen before were just trivial matters. It seems that this path is not impossible to take.

"yes."

Baojuan was very happy after hearing An Lingrong's words, she knew that this was a move forward.

Early the next morning, An Lingrong went to Chen Meizhuang first.

"Sister, after Lingrong learned that you had safely given birth to a princess, she was extremely happy for you. She was afraid that the large crowds yesterday would have disturbed you, so she thought of coming to visit you again this morning."

When An Lingrong arrived at Cunju Hall, Shen Meizhuang had just finished her breakfast.

She did not call Shen Meizhuang Huipin, but still called her sister as usual, hoping to use this to narrow the distance between them.

Shen Meizhuang didn't really care about these things, but she was still a little surprised by An Lingrong's arrival.

Ever since Shen Meizhuang became pregnant, she could feel that An Lingrong was distancing herself from her and Zhen Huan, both openly and covertly. But she appeared here again today, and she didn't know what her intention was.

An Lingrong could feel the scrutiny in Shen Meizhuang's eyes, but there was no panic on her face. Since she had decided to improve their relationship, she would let them feel her sincerity.

"Sister, I know you have everything you need, and this isn't anything valuable. Just consider it a gift to celebrate the birth of the princess."

An Lingrong took the thing that Baojuan brought from her hand, a piece of silk cloth that was a reward from the emperor before, and she had never been willing to use it.

"Since it's a token of my sister's kindness, I'll accept it."

"Cai Yue."

Chen Meizhuang didn't get too polite with An Lingrong and let Caiyue, who was standing beside her, take it over. She just gave her a look secretly.

Caiyue had been with Shen Meizhuang since she was a child, so she naturally understood what she meant immediately. After taking it, she turned around and put the silk cloth away separately.

"Sister, then you should have a good rest. I won't disturb you. I'll come to see you again when you feel better."

An Lingrong did not stay at Shen Meizhuang's place for too long. Her main purpose today was to go to Sui Yuxuan.

Looking at An Lingrong's leaving back, Shen Meizhuang pondered for a long time.

"Caiyue, please ask Doctor Wen to come over tomorrow to check Ping'an's pulse."

"yes."

Here at Suiyuxuan.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu were also surprised. After all, An Lingrong had not had much contact with them for some time.

"Lingrong, how come you have time to come here today? Please sit down, what's going on?"

"Sister Wan, are you okay? I heard you were pregnant, so I came to see you."

Compared to the frail Shen Meizhuang she had just seen, Zhen Huan's complexion looked very rosy, and her whole body seemed to exude the scent of happiness, which was what she had longed for for a long time.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. The pregnancy is still young, so I don't feel any discomfort."

"Sister, these are some spices I mixed earlier. They have a calming effect. Some spices can't be used after you're pregnant, so I've specially selected some that are suitable for pregnant women. But after all, you're pregnant, so I'd like to trouble you to ask the imperial physician to take a closer look. If there's no problem, then use them. There must be no mistakes."

Zhen Huan was very confused when she heard what An Lingrong said.

When she heard that An Lingrong had sent the spices, she had indeed thought of asking Doctor Wen to come and take a look, but she didn't expect that An Lingrong would take the initiative to bring it up.

Could it be that she really has no other thoughts?

"Empress Hua has arrived!"

Just at this moment, Nian Shilan walked in from outside.

She looked carefully and saw that it was Concubine An. Why didn't she stay by the Queen's side to take care of her illness and appeared here again? Could it be that she received another task from the Queen?

"Greetings to Her Majesty Hua Fei."

An Lingrong stood up and bowed respectfully to Nian Shilan.

"My lady, how come you have time to come to my place?"

There was not much formality between Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan. She smiled and asked Liu Zhu to serve Nian Shilan a cup of tea.

"I'm free today, so I came to see you. I didn't expect An Changzai to be here too. I hope I didn't disturb you."

The arrogant look in her eyes made Zhen Huan smile helplessly. Concubine Hua is really becoming more and more like a little girl.

However, just when Nian Shilan was teasing Zhen Huan, she casually glanced and noticed the spices that Zhen Huan had placed aside.

"This is?"

"Oh, this is the spice Lingrong prepared for me. It has a calming effect."

When Nian Shilan heard this, she was shocked. Who knew what An Lingrong was thinking?

In her previous life, she put musk in the scar-removing glue she gave to Zhen Huan, which caused Zhen Huan to become extremely weak. When Nian Shilan deliberately punished Zhen Huan in the Yiku Palace, she caused her to lose her child, which led to the growing hatred between her and Zhen Huan.

I didn't expect that in this life, instead of the scar-removing glue, I would get this spice. An Lingrong is so brave. She is so eager to die. It would be a shame for her if I don't help her.

"An Changzai, do you know that Concubine Wan is pregnant now? How can she use things carelessly?"

"Your Highness, I know your sister's health is different from that of an ordinary person, so this spice is made with fresh flower petals. It will not harm your body. Lingrong just reminded you, so I still need to trouble the imperial physician to confirm before using it."

An Lingrong was still a little afraid of Nian Shilan in her heart, but she looked at Nian Shilan calmly and explained the spice very seriously.

After hearing what An Lingrong said, Nian Shilan felt a little confused. She stared at An Lingrong, trying to see something from her eyes.

But in An Lingrong's eyes, there was really nothing except a hint of fear for herself.

What was going on? Logically, the Queen wouldn't have said nothing after knowing Zhen Huan was pregnant. And An Lingrong was an expert in making incense. She had thought that she had tampered with the spices, but she hadn't expected...

But no matter what, if An Lingrong really has no intention of harming Zhen Huan, this is also a good thing. After all, it is always good to have one less enemy in the palace.

"It seems that Concubine An is also thoughtful. Concubine Wan can't win Concubine An's kindness, so just keep it."

Nian Shilan's words shocked both Zhen Huan and An Lingrong.

Zhen Huan knew that Nian Shilan always felt that An Lingrong was a woman of deep thoughts, so it was really unexpected that she would accept the gift from An Lingrong.

An Lingrong had never expected this, but no matter what, this was a good start for her.

She had originally planned to chat with Zhen Huan for a while longer, but now that Nian Shilan was here, it was inconvenient for her to stay any longer, so she suggested leaving.

"Please ask Wen Shichu to come over and see if there is anything wrong with this spice."

After An Lingrong left, Nian Shilan immediately gave instructions to Zhen Huan.

In fact, even if Nian Shilan had not reminded her, Zhen Huan had originally planned to do so. She would definitely not gamble with the fetus in her belly.
