"Menstrual period?" Shen Zhiyun looked at her in confusion, then he seemed to understand something and his face turned red. "It's just a few days late. It wasn't accurate before."
An Yanran was confused at the side. "Why don't you let the doctor take a look? Maybe you're pregnant without knowing it. If something happens, others won't say anything and think we don't care about you enough."
"Yes, someone, go and ask the doctor in the mansion to come over."
The doctor's diagnosis was ambiguous. He didn't even know whether it was pregnancy or suffocation and blood stasis. He just said that the time was too short and he couldn't determine it clearly at the moment.
This made the three women look at each other in bewilderment.
Originally, An Yanran was still a little unhappy, thinking that Shen Zhiyun might be pregnant, but now this result came out. An Ranyue was stunned for a long time and said, "After Prince Kang returns home, let's study it and ask the imperial physician in the palace to take a look."
The doctor felt very guilty.
Originally, Shen Zhiyun hadn't thought about it, but after hearing what someone said, he became conflicted. He paced back and forth in the room with his heart in turmoil. When he thought about the possibility of pregnancy, he was afraid that walking would be bad for the child, so he stopped and sat on the bed, feeling uneasy.
At the same time, she also had a little hope. If she was pregnant, she wouldn't have to look at An Yanran's face all day long. Besides, she now thought that children were great and she liked children.
Not for vying for favor, but for myself.
Anyway, it was only a matter of time before the baby came, and now she hoped it was true.
Prince Kang didn't return home for two days.
There was no need to go around the world looking for King Kang for such a small matter, so the three women were always worried.
The other two obviously had more complicated feelings than I did.
Finally, the imperial physician arrived. When he arrived, An Ranyue and An Yanran both received the news. They rushed to Shen Zhiyun's yard together and sat in the side hall waiting for the results.
An Yanran took a sip of the milk puff, then pursed her lips and said, "Why do I never find this thing unappetizing? It tastes really good."
An Ranyue glanced at her and said, "You only had a reaction in the first three months. Besides, you are a strong talker, but I haven't seen you react to anything."
An Yanran was choked with anger, but then she smiled: "Look at what you said, as if you have more experience than me. When it comes to pregnancy, it's useless to listen to what others say. Only when you get pregnant yourself can you experience the pain and itchiness firsthand."
"You are absolutely right. If Madam Yun gets pregnant this time, you two can exchange experiences."
"It's too early to draw conclusions now." An Yanran put the cup heavily on the table. "Of course, if she is pregnant, I will be willing to give her advice. Also, if you are pregnant, I will be happier and work harder. By then, the three of us will have many more common topics, and there will be many more children laughing in this mansion. Isn't that a good thing?"
"That's good news, thank you for your good wishes." An Ranyue smiled, as if she could not hear the sarcasm in An Yanran's words.
But she didn't expect that the result after the imperial physician's examination turned out to be blood stasis, and he prescribed several medicines. An Yanran wanted to laugh when she heard it, but she didn't. Instead, she pursed her lips and sighed: "You should take good care of yourself. This blood stasis is caused by excessive thinking. You should relax and stop thinking so much."
Shen Zhiyun sat up. A maid went to boil the medicine. She turned her head and said, "Be careful when boiling the medicine. Don't leave me alone. The doctor said that if the medicine is wrong, the effect will be different." After that, she looked at An Ranyue and said, "Thank you, Concubine Yue, for your concern. I don't have any disease. It's troublesome for you to see me in person."
Leave An Yanran aside.
An Yanran didn't mind. She stood up, straightened her back, and supported her lower back: "I have to go back and rest. This baby is kicking me again. Really, you don't know how hard it is."
After saying that, he held Caiyun's arm and walked gracefully, twisting and turning.
Shen Zhiyun looked at her back and smiled brightly.
An Ranyue said, "Don't bother with her. People like her will suffer sooner or later."
"I won't bother with her. One can't always look down on others." Shen Zhiyun smiled sincerely, as if every word came from the heart.
An Ranyue couldn't help but be surprised that Shen Zhiyun's realm was so high that she had to look at him with all her might.
After An Ranyue left, Shen Zhiyun walked to the door, looked at the flowers, trees and pavilions in the mansion, and sneered: "An Yanran, you gave me such a good excuse to get rid of you. Don't blame me."
An Yanran was sitting in the room, holding her child's bellyband, when she shivered for no reason. It was such a hot day. She looked outside the door and said to Caiyun, "Close the door and the window. Why is it so cold?"
Caiyun wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at An Yanran again. In the end, she didn't dare to say anything, but turned it off as she was told.
************
The Imperial Palace.
Big prison.
An Qingran and Dongfang Jin stood there, looking at Murong Lanxin's lifelike face, and couldn't help but sigh. They had just received news that Murong Lanxin committed suicide out of fear of crime.
The emperor has already been informed. Emperor Yunqi asked Dongfang Jin to go there immediately.
An Qingran gave Murong Lanxin a quick check and found that the medicine was different from the one on Dongfang Jin's body. It seemed that the person behind the scenes would not expose herself even if he asked her to take the blame.
Imperial study.
There was a look of hostility between Dongfang Jin's brows. After all, he had not caught the person behind the scenes.
Before the results of the investigation with An Qingran came out, Emperor Yunqi slammed the memorial on the table. The memorial flipped over and over on the table and fell to the ground. "This is absurd. Pass on my order. All the guards will be demoted one rank. The jailers will be imprisoned for investigation. I don't believe that no clues can be found."
"Father, Chen Liang and Ma Yue, who were on duty yesterday, both died suddenly at home this morning. I guess there is nothing we can find out."
"You really think this has something to do with the Queen Mother."
"I just have a suspicion, but I dare not conclude."
"Okay, let's stop here. Murong Lanxin murdered the prince, which is a very serious crime, but considering her meritorious service to the Queen Mother, her family will not be implicated. The Murong family will be allowed to take Murong Lanxin's body back for burial. Is there anything else you can think of?"
Dongfang Jin shook his head and said, "I agree with you, Father, not to make it public. Let's leave it at that. It would be best if the person behind the scenes can relax his vigilance."
After returning to the East Palace, An Qingran learned about their father and son's ideas and agreed with them.
But his thoughts about the Queen Mother deepened. If it was really her, then she was very vicious.
In the imperial study, after Dongfang Jin left, Emperor Yunqi sat there in a daze for a long time without saying a word, but his face became paler and paler, his mouth was tightly pursed, and he gradually couldn't breathe. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The memorials in front of him were all dotted with blood. Eunuch Shen was frightened, and for a long time his voice trembled: "Someone, come, hurry, go and get the imperial physician, quickly!"
The young eunuchs were in a mess, and Emperor Yunqi waved his hand: "Don't make a sound."
Eunuch Shen looked very flustered: "This... even the prince was not informed?"
"It's not a big deal, don't tell anyone." Emperor Yunqi emphasized again.
Therefore, everyone only knew that he had caught a cold, but they did not know that it was caused by anger. Emperor Yunqi himself had a new illness in the palace. When he thought that Empress Yun might have been killed by his own mother, he could not help but feel even more sad and distressed. At night, he often woke up with a start, not knowing whether he was awake or dreaming. He also often saw Empress Yun, but he did not know that she was dead in his dreams. He was always surprised, but the contrast was even greater when he woke up. He could not help but sit up with the quilt until dawn.
Eunuch Shen was unaware of the emperor's worries. He just boiled medicine and served him day and night, but there was no improvement. Seeing that the emperor was getting thinner day by day, An Qingran was also very anxious. However, sometimes you can cure an illness but not save his life. She felt that Emperor Yunqi's illness was not just a simple illness. It looked like he might die. She couldn't help but panic and told Dongfang Jin.
Dongfang Jin had just lost his mother, and he didn't want to lose his father, so he stayed by the emperor's bedside every day to comfort him, but the emperor's health did not improve.
The Queen Mother was also ill at this moment. She said that she was sad for Murong Lanxin and that she was guilty of not disciplining her child well. Murong Shu would not be able to see her either. The Queen Mother's daily life was taken care of by the nanny, so it was difficult for everyone to see her.
An Qingran knew that the Queen Mother was already on guard and was afraid that she would not be able to find out for the time being, so she felt very depressed.
Fortunately, Dongfang Jin was by her side and comforted her from time to time.
Moreover, An Mingchen was often brought into the palace by Madam An. His lovely appearance and dependence on An Qingran surprised everyone. An Qingran looked at the pink An Mingchen, and all her worries were temporarily thrown away. Lian Jinyu was happy for her daughter to see how happy she was now. She was also very happy to see her daughter acting calmly and generously, like a queen. An Zhongtao was also doing well. He was very satisfied with the current situation of his two daughters. After all, having two princesses in one family is an honor that not every family can have.
An Mingxuan's life in the An Mansion was not good, but not bad either. When his two elder sisters were not at home, he became more and more willful, throwing tantrums from time to time, not listening carefully, and doing everything from beating chickens to scolding dogs. An Zhongtao sometimes scolded him for his behavior, and sometimes he didn't notice. He became even bolder. Behind his back, the servants and maids said that he was a devil, without any of the spirituality of his sisters, just a fool.
A few days passed quietly.
Prince Kang's Palace.
The three women got along very harmoniously for the time being, at least on the surface. Shen Zhiyun didn't care about An Yanran's sarcasm at all, and An Ranyue couldn't stand it anymore.
"Madam Yan, although Madam Yun entered the mansion later than you, there is no difference in your status. You should not bully her."
"Sister, how did I bully Madam Yun? If what I said gets to the ears of the prince, I can't bear the consequences. I just told the truth and said that Madam Yun has a good brother. Oh, and now her brother is Jingzhao Yin. I just congratulated her. If she blames me, then I have nothing to say."
