The eunuch went in, but came out soon: "My Lady, the Crown Prince is now unconscious, and the Crown Princess has been watching over him day and night. She just went to bed. The Emperor has also ordered that the Crown Princess be distracted and unable to take care of the Crown Prince, so you see..."

He looked troubled.

Concubine Shu stood there, her face looking even uglier.

But soon his brows relaxed: "Alright, but I'm really worried about you not being here. So, tell the Crown Princess that if there is anything you need, just come and tell me."

After saying this, he asked the palace maid behind him to put down the things in her hands, then turned and left.

Soon, Ren Dong came in with the silver-carved wooden lacquer food box. When she opened it, she saw that it was full of seasonal cakes. Ren Dong looked at An Qingran's face and said, "Crown Princess, do you think there is anything wrong with these cakes?"

An Qingran came closer, sniffed it carefully, took out the silver needle, and then shook her head slowly: "I think Concubine Shu would not be so confused. If there is a problem with the things she personally delivered, she can't escape. So, there is no problem with this thing, but let's pour it out."

Honeysuckle also turned around and went out. She decided not to throw it away, but to feed it to the two monkeys, so that they would not spit at her as soon as they saw her. These two monkeys were just caught from the imperial garden. However, monkeys from all places would hold grudges. Just like the monkey in the general's mansion, the monkey was still roaring and showing its fangs and claws until they let it go.

Dongfang Jin leaned against the head of the bed and read a book. He didn't put the book down until Rendong walked out. He looked at An Qingran without saying a word, just smiling with his lips pursed.

An Qingran's face turned red when he looked at her: "Did I say something wrong just now?"

Dongfang Jin shook his head and smiled: "Qingqing's analysis of the problem is very accurate, but how can Qingqing be so smart? This prince is ashamed of himself."

"You're kidding again." An Qingran pursed her lips and smiled, "Just lie still. I'll try the medicine."

"Well, if the people outside hear this, they will definitely think that I am going to die soon. But you should think of a way to stop the monkey from screaming, okay?"

"Okay, I'll prick their mute points." An Qingran answered quickly.

Dongfang Jin deliberately shuddered: "I promise not to yell."

An Qingran shook her head helplessly: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm afraid someone will hear you."

I won't bother with him because I know it will never end.

An Qingran took the silver needle and a packet of medicine and walked out lightly.

Dongfang Jin's eyes followed her figure until she disappeared, then he picked up the book again. However, he could not bear to read it any more. He stood up and followed her out, smiling bitterly as he walked: When did I become so dependent on this little girl?

An Qingran looked at the jumping monkey and saw the scars on Rendong's hands. She sighed, "It's really strange. This monkey hasn't even tried the medicine yet, but it's already so alert. It seems that people are often slow."

Dongfang Jin also agreed with her.

Everyone in the harem feels in danger, but they don’t know where the danger comes from.

They now suspect the Empress Dowager, but Concubine Shu is also suspicious, as is Concubine Xian. However, the most powerful person in the harem back then was Concubine Shu. He has already sent people to secretly search for the old nanny who was on duty in the Empress Dowager and the Queen's palace sixteen years ago. Someone must still remember something.

However, he did not dare to test the nanny beside the Empress Dowager easily for fear of alerting the enemy.

If this person stops from now on, there will be no way to deal with him.

Just as An Qingran was giving the monkey an acupuncture injection, someone came to report that people from Concubine Xian's palace had sent cakes and purple ginseng.

"But the virtuous concubine came in person?" An Qingran asked.

"To the Crown Princess, she is just a maid in her palace."

"Well, I'll take the gift and thank you, Concubine Xian."

The palace maid left. An Qingran looked at Dongfang Jin and smiled, "You are a patient, but you don't go to recuperate. Instead, the news gets out. What should I do?"

"This prince is here, it is both pleasing to the eyes and relaxing for the mind. Doesn't that count as recuperating from illness?"

"Smooth talk."

"I will only be like this to Qingqing in this life."

An Qingran's hand trembled, and the needle almost stabbed her body. In the previous life, Dongfang Ye also said this, but in the blink of an eye, she lost her value like a rag. She didn't know if he said the same thing to An Yanran. Thinking of him reminded her of the child she had finally gotten and lost. Her heart ached, as if he felt her sadness. Dongfang Jin gently hugged her from behind, his eyes as gentle as water: "Qingqing, even if I betray everyone in the world, I will never betray you."

An Qingran nodded slowly.

She believes it.

But she didn't need him to let down everyone in the world.

It was a very strange feeling. As the days passed, everyone seemed to care about the prince, but no one dared to actually enter the East Palace. At first, Concubine Shu had already regretted it, especially when she heard that Concubine Xian had only sent someone to see the prince. That woman was really patient, but even so, there was no guarantee that she didn't do it.

She was probably used to power. After being the head of the six palaces for a few months, she must have become addicted to it, right?

Although Concubine Shu hated Concubine Xian's cunning, she didn't dare to do anything. However, Dongfang Yan's behavior made Concubine Shu in a good mood, because she heard that he was still very popular in the capital. Powerful officials and noblemen all made friends with Dongfang Yan. It was rumored that he helped deal with state affairs and was the emperor's trusted right-hand man. Of course, no one dared to say anything deeper.

Everyone was just waiting for news to come out from the East Palace and then seeing what the attitude would be.

With Shen Zhihua's advice, Dongfang Ye's behavior was obviously appropriate, which made Concubine Shu feel more at ease. She felt that Shen Zhihua was quite capable, and her impression of Madam Yun improved a lot.

Prince Kang's Palace.

Three women, one drama, and the drama is still not over.

Fortunately, An Yanran did not meet a bad woman like her mother, otherwise the baby in her belly would be in danger. Although An Ranyue and Shen Zhiyun hated her, they were young after all and could not bear to be cruel to her. They just talked about her behind her back.

Therefore, An Yanran could still carry a big belly all day long and show off in Prince Kang's mansion.

Early summer.

The wind was warm, blowing on the face and making people feel intoxicated. An Yanran sat in the Jiyue Pavilion, half looking at the scenery and half dozing off. She threw all the fish food in her hand into the lotus pond, attracting a group of koi to peck at the food, spitting bubbles. The corners of her mouth smacked, and she became more energetic: "Caiyun, is the prince back?"

"Madam, the prince has just returned home."

"Then let's go and have a look."

"But...but Master Shen is here." Caiyun looked a little embarrassed.

An Yanran's hands froze in mid-air, and a trace of hatred appeared in her eyes. After a while, she seemed to have come to her senses and relaxed a little: "It seems that Mr. Shen can really help, so the prince values ​​him so much. Where is Madam Shen? Let's go see her."

Caiyun wanted to say something, but when she saw An Yanran's face, she swallowed her words and stepped forward to support her.

A gust of wind blew, and the cherry blossoms in the garden fell like rain. Under the tree, two little maids were holding gauze, one at each end, and catching the petals.

An Yanran thought it was quite elegant and stopped: "What do you want to do with these petals?"

"Madam Yan, our lady said that after these petals are dried, they can be used to make pillows. They will smell fragrant when you sleep, and they can also be made into flower jam. I'm sure it will taste great." A little maid said with a smile.

They are the maids in Shen Zhiyun's room.

An Yanran curled her lips and said, "Okay, tell your wife to give me some to try after she finishes making this."

"Yes, Madam Yan."

When An Yanran passed by them, she smelled a faint fragrance. The flower was indeed very fragrant, but the fragrance was so strange that she felt a little dizzy after smelling it too much.

Suddenly, she stopped and said, "Hey, when were the poppies planted here?"

Caiyun also stopped and said, "Concubine Yue always has headaches, and the doctor often prescribes this paste to treat her headaches. Later, I heard that I could cut the paste, so I asked someone to spread some seeds, but I didn't expect it to work."

An Yanran looked unhappy, but she didn't want to say anything. She took a few quick steps and left here. After a while, she said, "From now on, we will use the small kitchen for all the food. At least we must stick to this until my son is born."

"Is Madam afraid?" Caiyun looked at the poppy again.

An Yanran stroked her belly and said, "I'm not afraid of anything. As soon as the prince is born, those two women will plot against me from behind."

"Actually, the concubine and Madam Yun didn't do anything..." Caiyun said in a low voice and regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.

"Their existence is a mistake, what else can we do?" An Yanran said in a domineering voice.

Caiyun had nothing to say.

Just at this time, a group of servants and maids came over, and two servants were carrying a roasted suckling pig. The maids behind them had lids on the plates and bowls in their hands, but the aroma still couldn't be concealed. An Yanran's stomach growled, but there was nothing she could do. Pregnant people suddenly wanted to eat something and had to eat it.

She stopped a maid, who had a plate of duck tongues in sauce on it. She said, "Send this plate to my room and ask the kitchen to make another one for them."

The little maid was stunned. She had never encountered such a situation before. Seeing her hesitation, An Yanran was already annoyed: "What's the matter? I want to eat something, but I can't eat it?"

"But the prince has urged me to make this dish several times just now. It will take some time if I make it again. How about I ask the kitchen to make it for you?"

An Yanran raised her hand and slapped the little maid. She staggered and her hand was unsteady. With a crisp sound, the plate broke into pieces and the duck tongues were scattered all over the floor. For a moment, the little maid covered her face, looking stupid, just staring at the broken plate on the floor. An Yanran snorted coldly and turned away.

There was crying behind me.

"Useless stuff." An Yanran curled her lips, "Caiyun, go ask the kitchen to make it for me again."

"Yes." Caiyun said yes and left. Caixia stepped forward, holding a whisk in her hand, and gently shook off the bees and butterflies around her, for fear of scaring her master and making her dodge.
