An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 196 Rhodiola Rosea 2

"When the trembling maid heard Lian'er mention her name, she trembled even more violently, and for a moment it seemed difficult for her to even move."

"Lian'er was already extremely angry. When she saw Chunying's expression, she immediately understood what was going on. How could she hold back any longer?"

"Hand the medicine jar in your hand to Qiufang immediately, sneer and rush down the stairs!" He walked up to Chunying and grabbed her hair, forcing her to raise her head.

"Then he scolded her: 'The Queen asked you a question, can't you hear me? Where did you learn this rule? How dare you not move?'"

"Chun Ying's tears immediately fell. Madam, please forgive me. I was distracted for a moment. It was not intentional..." Lian'er loosened her grip and Chun Ying immediately fell to the ground. Not daring to hesitate any longer, she took a few steps forward on her knees using both her hands and feet.

"Please forgive my sins, please forgive my sins..."

"An Lingrong doesn't usually show any sternness towards others. But today Lian'er suddenly showed her power, which naturally made everyone's heart jump to their throats."

"After being bullied, An Lingrong thought that being a bad guy once was nothing?"

The hand holding Shen Meizhuang tightened, "I remember that you came to serve in Yanxi Palace after I made you my concubine, right? I have never treated you unfairly. Today, I will start with you for this warming soup!"

"As soon as An Lingrong finished speaking, Qiufang came forward with the medicine jar and deliberately passed the jar to Chunying, saying, 'Look, this is something that the Empress specifically ordered Lian'er to make. You have to accept this heaven-shattering favor.'"

"Seeing the medicine jar approaching, Chunying trembled like a cork. Qiufang was even more certain that even if the other party was not the one who drugged her, he was definitely involved in this matter."

"Shen Meizhuang patted Caiyue behind her, and she picked up a bowl and walked to Qiufang. "Aunt Qiufang, the gift from Concubine Shu, I think Chunying will naturally not refuse."

"Please, aunt, pour a bowl for Chunying yourself. Chunying seemed to be frightened. She looked at the medicine that was about to be poured into the bowl, and finally couldn't hold back her expression and cried out loudly."

Please spare me, my lady. I am not a slave. I really am not a slave...

"It wasn't you? Your Majesty didn't say anything, what do you mean by that? Your Majesty, I saw someone running into the small kitchen when Sister Lian'er went to pick up the Seventh Prince..."

"After Chunying said these words, An Lingrong immediately looked at the people kneeling below. Sure enough, she saw the palace maid kneeling next to Chunying, her hands supporting the ground were shaking slightly!"

"An Lingrong did not point it out, but signaled Qiufang to stop, then turned to look at Yan Gui who was jogging out of the ear room. A moment later, Yan Gui ran to An Lingrong and opened his palm towards her."

"An Lingrong took a closer look and saw that Yan Gui had an unfolded handkerchief in his hand, with this red object on it."

"An Lingrong turned her head, Luo Rui stepped forward to take a look, and bowed to An Lingrong, "Madam, this is it, it is Rhodiola rosea!"

snort!

"An Lingrong sneered. Where did Yan Gui find it? Your Majesty found it in the side room where the palace maids lived! But I have never been to the side room where they lived, so I don't know whose bed it is."

"Lian'er, in a blink of an eye, Yan Gui, is that the bed?"

"The one closest to the inside," Lian'er said with a stern face, raising her hand to pinch Chunying's chin, "That's your bed, how dare you say you don't know what happened?"

"Chun Ying looked as if she had seen a ghost, and shook her head blankly. No... No..."

"No, what's no? Yan Gui has already found the dirty stuff, and you still dare to quibble?"

"An Lingrong also noticed something was wrong, but she had no intention of speaking up. If someone in the harem doesn't have the ability to protect themselves, even if they lose their lives, they don't deserve sympathy from others."

"An Lingrong will naturally not take Chunying's life. At most, she will just let her go. But she will inevitably need to borrow him to perform the ritual."

"Lian'er was so angry that she didn't even think carefully about what was wrong with the situation. She pushed Chunying to the ground again and didn't get up for a long time."

"Since you came to the Yanxi Palace, the Queen has never treated you badly, but you actually betrayed her and helped outsiders to harm the Queen. If the Queen uses this thing, she will have a miscarriage."

"You bitch, you have such a cruel heart!"

"Lian'er's words finally made Chunying react. She waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly. Sister Lian'er, it's not me. It's really not me. Although I have not been valued by the Queen, I have never hated it."

"Why would I help others harm the queen? This thing really doesn't belong to me, and I don't know why it is on my bed."

Having said that, it seemed as if he finally realized something.

"She knelt up straight and turned around to point at the abnormal maid. It was her, it was Chunyan. She was the one who supported Sister Lian'er to pick up the Seventh Prince and sneaked into the small kitchen!"

"An Lingrong looked in the direction Chunying pointed. It was the person who had been acting strange just now. This person was much calmer than Chunying."

"When I heard Chunying's words, I immediately knelt forward and said, 'Your Majesty, I have never been to the small kitchen, and I don't know why Chunying would slander me. Please understand, Your Majesty.'"

"You don't look like someone who would do evil," An Lingrong said with a smile. "I just don't know which of you is telling the truth and which is lying."

"Now that we have concluded our conversation, we moved two stools from the hall. Shen Meizhuang helped An Lingrong sit down and then she said, 'You are pregnant and naturally have some taboos, but I don't care.'"

"He helped Caiyue up and said, "Someone added something that causes abortion into Concubine Shu's medicine today. I don't care who did it among you, but you two are the ones who are responsible."

"Since you are not blaming others, I will help you, the queen, to deal with this matter. After she finished speaking, Shen Meizhuang turned around and said, "Give them a bowl of this medicine each. Even if they were wrongly accused, I will bear the consequences."

"Listening to what Shen Meizhuang said, when others mentioned Chunying, even the calm Chunyan couldn't keep her expression."

"She knelt straight up suddenly. My Lady Xianpin, I did nothing wrong. Why should I bear such a punishment? If the Queen knew about this, she would definitely blame you."

"Chun Yan's words made Shen Meizhuang, who was about to turn around, pause and look up at Chun Yan. Are you talking to me?"

"Looking at the smile on Shen Meizhuang's lips, Chunyan trembled at the words she said. But you must not drink this medicine!"

"Chun Yan stiffened her neck, not caring about the panic in her heart, Madam, I am just telling the truth."

"Haha, good! Shen Meizhuang sneered. It seems that I am usually too kind to others. Now even a servant dares to speak to me like this."

"He then took two steps forward and said, 'I don't care whose power you rely on, but today you can't borrow anyone's power.'"

"Caiyue, teach her the rules of how to talk to the master. Caiyue is the most loyal. Seeing Chunyan talking back to Shen Meizhuang like this, she is already so angry that her face is red."

"Once I heard what Shen Meizhuang said, I couldn't hold back any longer! I handed the medicine in my hand to Lian'er, then snorted coldly, "Yan Gui, press her down for me!"

"After hearing this, Yan Gui immediately stepped forward and pinned Chun Yan's arms behind her back, so that she could not move no matter how she struggled."

"Caiyue Yang raised her hand and slapped Chunyan several times, causing blood to flow from the corners of her mouth. She wailed incessantly, but Caiyue's expression showed no mercy at all. She waved her hand to signal Yangui to let go."

He let the man go and continued, "My queen said, 'I'll give you two a bowl of medicine each. Since you want to be a troublemaker, I'll grant your wish."

"As soon as Caiyue finished speaking, Lian'er was behind her, and there was no need to say anything before the bowl of medicine was at Chunyan's lips."

Just as he was about to drink the bowl of medicine, Su Peisheng's voice suddenly came from outside, "The Emperor has arrived..."

An Lingrong's brows flashed with doubt, and she reached out to help Qiufang stand up. Shen Meizhuang walked to An Lingrong's side in a few steps, "How did the emperor get here?"

"An Lingrong shook her head. Sister, I don't know either. Maybe it's a coincidence! Shen Meizhuang raised her eyebrows doubtfully, and reached out to help Qiufang support An Lingrong and looked out the door."

"When he saw the emperor coming in, his face was full of joy, but when he saw the people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, his expression changed to doubt."

I pay my respects to His Majesty! The emperor wanted to lend a hand to help the man up, but since they were both supporting each other, he couldn't reach his hand in. He could only wave his hand and said, "Everyone, get up. It's so early in the morning. What's going on?"

"Shen Meizhuang reached out and squeezed An Lingrong's hand, and spoke first; Your Majesty came at a great time, someone added something harmful to Rong'er's pregnancy-preserving medicine, and I was just about to interrogate her!"

"Just one sentence made the emperor's face change slightly. Who did it?"

"Shen Meizhuang pointed out that the harmful thing was taken from Chunying's bed, but she insisted that she didn't know about it and pointed out Chunyan instead."

The emperor's expression did not change, and he responded coldly; How come the real master was not punished, but Chunyan was beaten? "Your Majesty, I am innocent. It was Concubine Xian who asked me to drink this harmful thing without knowing the truth..."

"But before Chunyan could finish her words, she was interrupted by a slap from Caiyue."

"Shen Meizhuang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, apart from the two of them, there is no suspicion for the time being. I am stupid and can only kill someone else by mistake and not let anyone go."

"Give them both this decoction. But Chunyan spoke disrespectfully to me, so I punished her. Well! You have always been prudent in doing things, and you will definitely not wrongly accuse others."

"He waved his hand and said, Su Peisheng, since Concubine Xian has given it to them, let them drink it. This behavior is obviously because she is angry about the involvement of the Dragon Heir."

"Su Peisheng responded immediately, raised his hand and beckoned, and several young eunuchs came forward and forced the two men to drink the medicine."

"At this moment, another voice was heard in the arena, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The emperor raised his hand and squinted his eyes to look at it. "What's the matter?" An Lingrong also looked up and saw that it was still a palace maid. She kowtowed respectfully to the head."

"Your Majesty, I saw Chunyan put this thing under Chunying's bed. The maid's words made Chunyan scream and turn around and yell: You are talking nonsense!"

"I dare not. It happened yesterday. Chunyan and Chunying's beds were not in the same bed. I saw her walk to Chunying's bed and put a package under the bed."

"Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I really didn't do that. Rong Pei, how did I offend you? Why did you want to hurt me?"

"I just can't bear to see innocent people suffer. You did something evil and you deserve to be punished. Chunying knows whether you are innocent or not. But you must be related to this scary thing."

"The palace maid named Rong Pei was kneeling straight with a serious expression on her face. She didn't look guilty at all. She looked trustworthy."

"When Rong Pei said this, Chun Ying seemed to finally come to her senses. She stared at the handkerchief in Yan Gui's hand for a long time, and her expression suddenly changed."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the flowers on the handkerchief were embroidered by Chunyan. Yan Gui turned his wrist, held the remaining Rhodiola rosea in his hand, and revealed the handkerchief."

"An Lingrong turned around and took a look, motioning Yan Gui to come forward. After a closer look, it seemed that the stitches were not ordinary embroidery methods. It looked like fishbone embroidery, right?"
