Although she still looked as gentle and kind as ever, the evasiveness in her eyes was gone, replaced by a sense of tranquility and composure.
Sitting there, she didn't look like the daughter of a county magistrate, but rather like a well-bred lady from a prominent family in the Jiangnan water towns.
If it were An Lingrong, who had just entered the palace and had not yet won the emperor's favor, she and Sun Miaoqing would definitely not have mentioned such things in front of her, lest she start overthinking again.
An Lingrong asked, "Why are you looking at me like that, Sister Mei? Is there something on my face?"

[An Xiaoniao is about to fly high. The Empress is ill this time and probably won't have the energy. Send her a jade platform and golden cup.]
[If she hadn't been poisoned by the Jade Platform and Golden Cup, she wouldn't have trembled so much, making the fat orange believe she was unwilling to serve him, thus leading to a dramatic return of her to her rightful owner.]
An Lingrong…(#?Д?)
What does "returning the jade intact to Zhao" mean?
Could it be... what she's thinking?
