After transforming into An Lingrong, he became the King of Juan and was crowned the Sixth Palace.

Under the emperor's repeated requests, Su Peisheng tremblingly lifted the child up, not daring to speak.

The impatient emperor reached out and pushed aside the swaddling clothes, revealing the child's round face, which was extremely cute.

The emperor couldn't help but smile and said: "Isn't he a very good boy?"

He reached out and shook the swaddling clothes away slightly, and Su Peisheng almost trembled with fright.

The emperor was almost stunned when he saw it. His hand that touched the infant seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and he immediately took it back.

The queen changed her expression and stepped forward. With just one glance, she was so frightened that she almost staggered and couldn't even utter a scream.

Seeing that the emperor and the empress behaved disrespectfully, the courageous Concubine Hua let out a yelp and walked towards that station with a small step.

Then, she was startled by the swaddled premature baby and screamed.

Seeing that Concubine Hua was frightened by the premature baby, An Lingrong calmly looked at Baojuan and Baoping outside, and she made up her mind.

She took Mei Zhuang, who was suddenly timid, and went up together to see the premature baby, which made everyone panic.

The swaddling child is no different from a normal person, except that the belly looks like a pregnant woman expecting to give birth, which is a bit scary.

Meizhuang and the others just glanced at it, then turned back to recite Buddhist scriptures, not daring to look directly at such an unclean child again.

And Chun Changzai, who had never seen any big scenes, was so frightened that he hid in Zhen Huan's arms and did not dare to come out.

Perhaps the abnormal heir was shaken by the concubines' reactions.

The emperor was so frightened that his hands trembled and he pushed the child out almost instinctively.

Fortunately, Su Peisheng caught it firmly. He also had a look of fear on his face, his hands were trembling and he didn't know what to do with the child in his hands.

The bold Xin Bin saw it clearly for a moment, and she was so shocked that she let out a low voice, her face turned pale, and she was so frightened that she tightly grasped An Lingrong's sleeves.

There was a faint voice inside Xia Dongchun's tired voice after waking up from a coma: "Child, where is my child?"

The emperor's body shook violently, as if he had suffered some unbearable force. There were only a pair of frightened and sad eyes on his ashen face.

It was covered in an instant, leaving only the biting cold dissatisfaction and sadness.

Xia Dongchun's voice sounded inside again, full of expectation and hope: "Bring the child to me and let me see..."

There was silence, no one dared to answer.

Concubine Hua reacted quickly, with cold determination.

There was no softness or hesitation in her tone, and she said decisively: "Your Majesty, this is an evil obstacle and an ominous monster. We must not let it stay!"

The queen standing next to Concubine Hua did not expect that Concubine Hua was so aggressive and wanted to directly erase the traces of the child when she saw that her son was not like a normal person.

But this is good, lest some rumors spread in the palace, and the Queen Mother hears them and remembers them in her heart.

The queen nodded slightly and said, "Su Peisheng, go make arrangements and tell everyone that Yin Gui gave birth to a stillborn fetus. A stillborn fetus is ominous, so bury it immediately!"

When she said the word "it", she was cold and without any emotion, as if the child was a little animal worth noting and could choke out his life at any time.

At this time, the kind-hearted Zhen Huan couldn't bear it anymore and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this child has no other problems, but his belly is a little big. Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look at it and see if it can be cured?"

The emperor looked at the child's naive expression with a pink face and was a little shaken for a moment.

Seeing that the emperor was shaken, Concubine Hua took one step ahead of the queen and immediately turned her face and slapped Zhen Huan in the face.

The slap came so fast that no one could react.

Zhen Huan received Concubine Hua's slap abruptly and felt the heat on her face, which was stronger than all the pain.

The elegant and graceful Concubine Hua looked at Zhen Huan coldly, her eyes like a pair of black pebbles raised in the ice of clear water.

It looked clear and dark, but it sent a chill down the spine.

"My Lord, I will not blame you for anything you do wrong or say, but you must remember this slap. This child is an ominous evil spirit. If you let others know about it again, it will spread. If you harm the reputation and the auspiciousness of the Qing Dynasty, I will kill you."

Seeing that Zhen Huan had been beaten, Concubine Xin took a step forward and said, "Concubine Hua, now that you are no longer able to help the Queen in charge of the Sixth Palace, it would be inappropriate to slap Wan Gui in front of the sisters, right?"

Meizhuang frowned, looked at the red marks on Zhen Huan's face, and said helpfully: "This matter is related to the bloodline of the emperor's heirs. How can Concubine Hua go beyond the wishes of the empress and the emperor and directly give Eunuch Su orders?"

When everyone was arguing for Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan immediately understood that the child could not be saved, and she did not dare to cover her face, so she had to bend her knees and bow: "I made a mistake, please forgive me the Queen and the Emperor."

Hearing this, the concubines glanced at Zhen Huan, who was in despair, and returned to their seats without speaking.

And the queen was unwilling to say such cold-blooded words in front of the emperor.

She raised her face and signaled Zhen Huan to get up.

The emperor calmed down, as if he had found a ray of soul in his heart, and asked calmly: "In that case, what does the queen mean..."

The Queen bowed slightly and spoke in a respectful and steady tone: "Unfortunately, Mr. Yin gave birth to a stillborn child. He is not blessed to have an heir for the Emperor. Please express your condolences. I hope that Mr. Yin will be blessed in the future and can continue to flourish for the royal family." Incense.”

The queen glanced at the child in Su Peisheng's arms: "Since it is a stillborn child, let's deal with it properly. No one else is allowed to know about this matter, and no one else is allowed to spread the news. Do you understand, sisters?"

"Wait a moment."

An Lingrong took a step forward and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is fishy."

The emperor became more energetic and asked hurriedly: "What does Concubine An mean?"

In front of everyone, An Lingrong explained: "It seems that Doctor Zhang did not explain that the child cannot be cured. Why do people always associate the child with black cats and unknown things? I think this matter is too strange, Your Majesty You might as well ask a few more imperial doctors."

As soon as these words came out, the queen was about to speak when she heard An Lingrong announcing that Doctor Jiang and Doctor Wen were coming in.

Seeing that the person coming was Jiang Shen, Concubine Hua mocked: "Is there no suitable candidate for Concubine An? Why did you even call the imperial physician of this palace and the imperial physician of Wan Changzai?"

An Lingrong smiled and did not reply. Instead, she motioned to Dr. Wen and Dr. Jiang to step forward and observe the child's condition.

Imperial Physician Wen and Imperial Physician Jiang did not fight an unprepared battle. After some observation, the answer they gave was that it can be cured, and the cure rate may be 60%.

Sixty percent, which is good news for the emperor who lacks heirs.

Some people are happy, some people are sad.

Concubine Hua dissuaded her: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. If the treatment cannot be cured, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the royal family?" The emperor thought about it for a while and thought so, so he set his sights on An Lingrong, hoping that she would There is a solution.

An Lingrong had already been prepared and said with a smile: "Hua Fei, this is very simple. If it is cured well, the child will be kept. If it is not cured, just handle it as you told the queen just now."

"But……"

"That's enough!" The emperor raised his hand and looked at the concubines in the harem, "As Concubine An said, treat it first and then discuss it later."

After speaking, the emperor turned and left without giving anyone a chance to refute.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng put the child in the hands of Dr. Wen and followed him away.

Without the protagonist, the concubines saluted the queen one by one, and left in a hurry without even looking at Concubine Hua.

On the way, they were all talking about An Lingrong's boldness and who was the murderer behind today's incident.

At the moment, only the Queen and Zhen Huan have not left.

The queen glanced at Zhen Huan, reached out and gently touched her cheek, and asked gently, "Does it hurt?"

Zhen Huan shrank slightly, with some uncontrollable fear, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, the Queen, for your concern. I just made a mistake and made the Queen laugh."

The queen sighed and said: "In the situation just now, this child cannot be kept for a long time. What if the emperor becomes reluctant to let go and is unable to make a decision for a while? What if he sees the child every day and the medical treatment is not good? ?

After saying that, the queen picked up the tea handed over by Jianqiu, blew on the tea foam, and sighed: "But how could Concubine An, who was kind-hearted in saving her son, find a way to ask other imperial doctors to cure the unfortunate son, and the emperor actually …”

After a pause, the queen stopped talking.

Zhen Huan thought about what An Lingrong had done before, and her heart was filled with panic, as if someone had stuffed a handful of hemp seeds into her mouth.

Her throat was sore and swollen, but her tone tried to remain calm and calm.

"I think that Concubine An may really have a way. She can help noble Yin solve problems and share the emperor's worries just like she did for noble Fu Cha."

I heard that Zhen Huan was still unwilling to stand on her team and say something nice.

The queen silently put down the tea in her hand and asked Jianqiu to take away the tea table.

This was a move not to give Zhen Huan a drink of water, but the other party didn't seem to notice her intention.

The crying in the Yanxi Palace was getting louder and louder. It was Yin Guiren's anxiety and uneasiness after she was anxious to see her child but no one responded.

Listening to the noisy movement inside, the queen sighed.

"Let's go. How to persuade her is our business."

Zhen Huan followed the queen and pushed the door in. The exquisitely and elegantly decorated bedroom was filled with the quiet charm of music and books, as if she was under the noisy grace.

As soon as the Queen and Zhen Huan entered the palace, they saw Xia Dongchun breaking away from the support of the palace people in panic and falling down from the bed.

I saw her throwing herself at the Queen's feet with tears on her face, crying: "Queen, they don't let me see the child! They are all blocking me!"

Her panic and uneasiness were written on her beautiful and delicate face.

"Queen, please tell me, is the child not doing well?"

The brief silence between the Queen and Zhen Huan made her panic and shouted: "It doesn't matter if you look ugly, as long as it's normal, it's fine!"

Can Zhen Huan be said to be unhealthy, and she was almost considered stillborn by the Queen and Concubine Hua, so she was going to have Su Peisheng sent away and buried alive?

Of course not.

After thinking about the words, Zhen Huan said bravely: "This pregnancy in Yingui's life involves the royal family's reputation. The doctors at the imperial hospital are already thinking of ways to treat and save lives. I also ask Yingui not to embarrass the concubines and the empress. It shouldn't be Don’t ask too many questions.”

Listening to Zhen Huan doing Tai Chi, the queen became more cruel and said: "If the treatment is good, you can still become the child's biological mother. If the treatment is not good, everyone in the palace and outside the palace will treat him as a child." Stillbirth, do you understand?"

The Queen's eyes were as gentle as before, but wherever she looked, no one dared not to kneel down, bow her head and lower her eyebrows and said: "Yes, the Queen is right, please be prepared."

Zhen Huan said in a low voice: "If you are sad, why not ask the master from Baohua Hall to come and chant sutras and pray for blessings. If anything happens to the child, you can send the child to heaven as soon as possible."

Xia Dongchun woke up from her tears. At this moment, she didn't care whether Zhen Huan and the queen were deliberately cursing her child.

Tremblingly, he raised his head and glanced at the Queen, and whispered: "Please tell me, Queen, whether this child is a boy or a girl..."

The queen was slightly startled and glanced at Zhen Huan with some embarrassment.

Zhen Huan hesitated and said: "It's..."

The queen immediately said: "It's a little brother, so don't be too sad. The imperial doctor from the imperial hospital and Concubine An are protecting him. He may not be able to save his life, but the noble lady is right. He wants to invite Baohua Palace to Master, please come and pray for me."

The Queen solemnly ordered everyone: "In these days, Yin Gui has to sit in confinement to recuperate her body. She is not allowed to move around to catch the wind. Only the masters of Baohua Hall are allowed to enter the side hall to pray and chant sutras. No one else is allowed to disturb Yin Gui's rest."

When Zhen Huan heard this, she knew that the queen had placed Xia Dongchun under house arrest.

She watched helplessly as Xia Dongchun, who was immersed in grief, left with the Queen.

On a cold winter night, the breath turned to ice. Zhen Huan listened to the heart-rending cries coming from the dormitory from a distance. The slight chill in her heart was like the vast snowy field reflected by the moonlight, desolate and bright cold.

The news that Xia Dongchun was born prematurely and whether the child could be saved spread throughout the harem. Not only the palace was surprised, but even the Queen Mother was very sad.

People in the palace were agitated, and Cao Guiren also whispered behind his back that Xia Dongchun was too arrogant and enjoyed the blessings, which was why the child's life was shortened, leaving the child looking half-dead. He has never come out of the life-preserving hall built by the Imperial Hospital.

Xia Dongchun was so sad, but the emperor never set foot in Yanxi Palace to visit and comfort him.

The Queen Mother wanted to ask the Emperor about Xia Dongchun's fetus several times. The Emperor saw that there was no movement from An Lingrong and could only say a few vague words before passing by.

No, within a few days, An Lingrong was called to the imperial study room to answer the emperor's questions.

As soon as An Lingrong entered the door, she noticed the lingering fragrance of cold wine in the air.

An Lingrong rolled up her sleeves, gently ground the emperor's ink, and said softly: "If the emperor wants to drink, he should let someone warm him up first. Cold wine is too bad for the stomach. Alternatively, it is also good to talk to someone while drinking."

The emperor did not raise his head, but his tone was quite emotional: "You drink by yourself. Only cold wine tastes good. What's more, the palace is so warm. If you drink hot wine, it will lose its taste."

An Lingrong finished grinding the ink quietly and smelled that the ambergris in the palace was a little weak, so she asked Jin Xi to lead someone to carry the incense burner down.

Then he used a copper plectrum to open a corner of the hollow crane-patterned copper stove and added a handful of rosewood-colored styrax incense.

The emperor just lowered his head and concentrated on copying, and asked: "Why don't you use ambergris?"

An Lingrong said: "Storax can clear away phlegm and clear away phlegm. It is best used in winter."
