Chapter 372 Ling Rong heard it and did it deliberately
The little maid looked at the emerald green bracelet, and finally couldn't resist her inner desire. She looked at An Lingrong cautiously and said.
"Reporting to the young lady, I heard that the imperial concubine seemed to have offended the emperor a few days ago, so she was punished by the emperor to be confined."
"And Wanpin was also punished by the emperor to be under house arrest, but the imperial concubine's house arrest was only three months, while Wanpin's was six months. It's all over the palace."
The little maid looked at An Lingrong hesitantly, not knowing whether she should say it.
"Passing what?"
An Lingrong frowned and asked anxiously.
"It is said that the emperor treated the imperial concubine and Concubine Wan like this just to vent his anger on Zhi. People in the palace say that Concubine Wan and the imperial concubine are going to fall out of favor."
Under An Lingrong's gaze, the little maid told her everything she had heard in a trembling voice.
"what?"
An Lingrong looked at the little maid in disbelief.
"When did another Zhida Ying appear? How much do you know about this Zhida Ying?"
An Lingrong asked impatiently.
"Reporting to the noble, I heard that this Zhi Ying is Song Zhi, the former maid of Concubine Hua."
The little maid's eyes showed a hint of envy for Songzhi's transformation from a servant to a master.
"It's actually her."
An Lingrong naturally remembered Hua Fei's personal maid Song Zhi, but Song Zhi's appearance could barely be called pretty. How could the emperor neglect his sister and Wanpin for such a person?
What's more, how could Hua Fei, who is so jealous, push her personal maid out to sleep with her?
This was really too unusual, which made her worry about her sister and also made her feel a little worried.
Retracting her thoughts, An Lingrong smiled and handed the bracelet in her hand to the maid.
"Go ahead."
After the maid left, An Lingrong picked up the embroidery again, but her mind was not on it.
There is no way that the emperor would neglect his sister and Wanpin because of Songzhi, unless the emperor did so to stabilize the Nian family.
Yes, Concubine Hua has been out of favor for a long time. Now she has finally regained the emperor's favor, so naturally she wants to keep this favor.
In addition, some time ago, the ministers in the court repeatedly submitted memorials to impeach Nian Gengyao. It seems that Concubine Hua might have pushed forward Song Zhi because she was desperate.
The emperor probably also discovered this, so he did this to stabilize Concubine Hua.
An Lingrong speculated secretly in her heart.
Just at this moment, Chuntao came back angrily.
"What's going on? Where's the fish porridge?"
Seeing this, An Lingrong asked in confusion.
"My lady, those villains in the imperial kitchen are just taking advantage of the situation. Seeing that the imperial concubine has fallen out of favor, they treat our lady like this. Now, our lady is pregnant with the emperor's child, but these dogs treat you like this just to please Concubine Hua."
Chuntao looked at An Lingrong angrily and spoke.
As she spoke, she realized that she had said the wrong thing. Her face suddenly changed and she looked at An Lingrong worriedly, fearing that the other party would not be able to accept this.
Unexpectedly, An Lingrong did not show much emotional fluctuation. She looked at Chuntao and said in a flat tone.
"These people in the palace always flatter the powerful and bully the weak, so it's not surprising that they would do this. If all else fails, just give them some silver. After all, no one hates silver, right?"
Such things were nothing to An Lingrong, not to mention that she had been favored for a while, so she naturally had no shortage of money.
Now that she is pregnant, she naturally cannot afford to bother too much with these mean people who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.
No, why did the news about the Old Summer Palace spread to the palace so quickly? Did someone do it on purpose?
An Lingrong soon realized that something was amiss. There was news that had been passed back to the palace, but the news was too detailed to be something that could simply be passed on between servants.
Could it be that someone wanted to use this incident to make me confused, causing me to have a miscarriage, or even a difficult delivery?
Could it be the queen?
The first person An Lingrong thought of was the Queen. After all, the Queen had a precedent. She had also done the same thing to her sister's belly before. Now, she only needed to use a little force to make her uneasy. It couldn't be more cost-effective.
No matter who it was, this incident proved that someone had been keeping an eye on this baby.
She was a little worried that if this plan failed, the person behind the scenes would strike again.
But there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days, so she has to find a way to prevent this from happening again.
"My Lord, do you know?"
Chuntao was a little unsure, but couldn't help but ask.
"This matter has become a hot topic now, so I naturally know about it."
"I know you're hiding this from me out of kindness, but this kind of thing can't be kept secret. Even if you don't tell me about this kind of thing, won't anyone else tell me?"
"Have you ever wondered why this news got back to the palace so quickly and reached your ears?"
Seeing Chuntao's uneasy expression, An Lingrong relaxed her expression a little and asked back in a calm tone.
"Slave..."
Only then did Chuntao realize that something was wrong.
"Could it be that someone deliberately passed this news to our ears? The young lady and the imperial concubine have always been good friends. If the young lady knew this news, she would definitely be very anxious."
"My lady is so pregnant now. If something happens to her by mistake, the baby in her belly will suffer."
Thinking of this, Chuntao broke out in a cold sweat uncontrollably.
"So it would be better if you told me directly, rather than letting those people with bad intentions say it."
Seeing this, An Lingrong looked at Chuntao and spoke.
"I know my mistake."
Chuntao quickly knelt down in front of An Lingrong and kowtowed to admit her mistake. She was indeed being clever in what happened today. Fortunately, the lady and the prince were not in any danger.
"Alright, considering that you are worried about me, I won't bother with you about this matter, but remember that this must not happen again."
Seeing this, An Lingrong waved at Chuntao, signaling her to stand up.
"Since she wants to plot against my child, I'd better let her be completely at ease so that she won't come up with other ways to target me."
"What does the young master mean?"
Chuntao looked at An Lingrong and asked.
"Go call Doctor An over and tell him that I feel a little unwell."
An Lingrong looked at Chuntao and spoke.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Although Chuntao didn't know what An Lingrong was going to do, she didn't hesitate at all and simply invited Doctor An over.
A few days later, a letter was delivered to the emperor.
The news that An Lingrong's fetus was unstable and she almost had a miscarriage because of the incident with the Imperial Concubine spread throughout the Old Summer Palace.
Fu Cha Zhixi was shocked when she heard the news. She clearly forbade this news to be spread, so how did it reach Ling Rong's ears?
Could it be that someone did this deliberately?
