How big is the impact of Chapter 1402?
Feng Qianyan gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, is it that bitch in the cold palace who's behind this? If not, how could she have been taken out by the Emperor, and now, she's living in the Emperor's bedroom and hasn't left yet?"
Hanxiang was more cautious after all. She walked to the door and looked outside.
After making sure that no one was outside, he walked back to Concubine Ning and whispered, "In the past two days, people inside and outside the palace have been talking about it. Everyone says that it was Concubine Gui who was causing trouble."
“…”
"She deliberately had the medicine replaced so she could pretend to be sick and have the Emperor take her out."
“…”
"This woman is really scheming."
Hearing her say this, Feng Qianyan became even more furious.
Qin Er, who was standing by, whispered, "But speaking of it, our queen is really lucky. If the people in the imperial pharmacy hadn't neglected their duties and left the aconite in that bowl of aconite soup, the queen would be—"
"What are you talking about?!"
Hearing the ominous meaning of these words, Hanxiang glared at her angrily, and Qin'er immediately shrank her neck in fear.
Hanxiang hurriedly comforted Feng Qianyan, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a blessing from heaven."
“…”
This time, Feng Qianyan calmed down.
She thought for a moment and sneered, "Of course, it's also because I'm lucky. However, I'm afraid there are people who can't stand that bitch and want to harm her."
"What the Queen means is—"
"Fuzi decoction, Fuzi decoction. The most important ingredient in a prescription is Fuzi decoction. Anything else can be missing. How could Fuzi be the only one missing?"
"So, that Pan Deyi did it on purpose?"
"I'm afraid someone told me to do this."
Hanxiang's eyes rolled around, and she immediately understood: "Empress Hui and the others..."
Feng Qianyan said, "It seems we can't underestimate them. Concubine Hui's current rank is already quite high, and I heard that her brother is now favored by the Emperor. I'm afraid she will continue to be arrogant for a while."
Thinking of this, she felt a surge of resentment again.
His father and brother also served in the court, but they were all insignificant positions and had no chance to make achievements, so they had no way of entering the emperor's most core cabinet.
Otherwise, I will definitely have a chance to move up to the next level.
Now, I can’t rely on anyone else, the only one I can rely on is myself.
She reached out and gently stroked her belly - it had been more than five months, and her belly was already showing. Now, she really hoped to give birth tomorrow and give birth to a fat, white, and healthy prince.
But what happened during this period of time left her with lingering fears.
There is also a little bit of uneasiness that always remains in my heart.
At this moment, Xiao Duozi ran in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here to take your pulse."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qianyan's eyes lit up.
She raised her head and saw a thin figure walking in from the door. Since that incident, the Imperial Hospital has been reorganized. The person who came to take her pulse was Shao Ren, the director of the Imperial Hospital.
This man is in his forties, has excellent medical skills, and has just been promoted to the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Eager to make a contribution, but without any opportunity.
He walked in with a medicine box in his hand and bowed respectfully to Feng Qianyan.
"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty Ning Fei."
"Doctor Shao, thank you for your help."
"It is my humble duty."
As he spoke, he skillfully took a small cushion and placed it under Feng Qianyan's neck, then carefully placed a silk handkerchief on her wrist and took her pulse.
Feng Qianyan looked at him with a smile and said, "Doctor Shao, you have worked so hard these days. I have something to reward you."
"ah?"
Shao Ren was stunned for a moment, then saw Feng Qianyan wink at Hanxiang. Hanxiang hurriedly turned to the inner room, and after a while, she took out a silver note and put it into the medicine box that Shao Ren had opened.
As soon as he saw the amount of the banknote, Shao Ren's eyes lit up immediately.
But he still declined, saying, "No merit, no reward. How dare I accept such a generous reward from Your Majesty?"
Feng Qianyan winked at Hanxiang and the others again.
Hanxiang understood and immediately led Qin'er out, leaving only the two of them in the inner room. Feng Qianyan smiled and said, "Of course, I won't let you receive rewards without merit. Actually, I want to know something."
"Your Majesty, if you have anything, just ask."
"Fuzi Decoction—if I really drank Fuzi Decoction, how much of an impact would it have on me and the child in my belly?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Ren's heart moved slightly.
He raised his head and met Feng Qianyan's eyes which were filled with hidden meaning.

The Yanxi Palace on the other side.
The doors and windows of the Left Palace, which had been almost silent for the past few days, were finally opened. The little palace maid played the zither and went out for a few turns. When she came back, she smiled at Qin Ruolan and said, "My lady, everything is fine."
"oh?"
"I've found out that no one from the Imperial Pharmacy admitted to the medicine swap. The Emperor was furious and had everyone there executed."
"Is that so?"
When Qin Ruolan heard this, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on her face.
But the next moment, he slowly frowned again.
Xiao Lian handed her a cup of tea and said softly, "Now that the matter has been resolved, what are you still worried about?"
“…”
Qin Ruolan was silent for a long time, muttering to himself, "This is not the emperor's style."
"What?"
"The Emperor comes from the military, so he has to get to the bottom of everything before taking any action. How could he just execute everyone in the Imperial Pharmacy without finding anything?"
“…”
"That's so unlike him."
Xiao Lian and Nong Qin were both a little confused.
After a while, Nong Qin leaned over to her ear and whispered, "My lady, the emperor knows that you did this, so he is deliberately protecting you."
Qin Ruolan's heart skipped a beat when she heard her say that.
She looked up: "Really?"
Nong Qin had only guessed this at first, but seeing her expression of surprise and joy, especially thinking about how the emperor had hardly ever walked past the gate of the Yanx Palace in recent days, she couldn't help but feel lonely and desolate.
Now, just one sentence made her ecstatic, so Nongqin simply comforted her: "It must be so."
“…”
"Otherwise, who else can the emperor be so tolerant to?"
“…”
"It's only with you, my lady, that I would do this."
Hearing them say this, Qin Ruolan felt both happy and sad, and choked up as she said, "If that's the case, then that's fine. I don't ask for anything else. As long as he still has me in his heart, even if it's just a little bit, I'll be satisfied."
Nong Qin and Xiao Lian looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Nong Qin whispered again, "So what are you going to do next, my lady?"
“…”
When this was mentioned, the tenderness in Qin Ruolan's eyes gradually turned into ice, and even turned into icy needles. He said coldly: "I didn't expect that this time, by some strange mistake, Concubine Ning would escape."
“…”
"But I won't give up."
