Chapter 373: Investigate thoroughly and give careful instructions
"Your Highness, this matter has already been warned in advance by this servant. Logically, it shouldn't have reached Lingrong's ears."
Suqin asked with some confusion.
"It seems like someone is deliberately targeting Ling Rong."
Fucha Zhixi spoke with an unpleasant expression.
"Well, Miss Lingrong is already pregnant now, if she hears this news, will she really get into trouble?"
Suqin said worriedly.
"It's hard to say. Contact the people in the palace and find out what the situation is."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Su Qin and said.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
"Yuhu, go find a way to find out who has returned to the palace in the past few days. I want to see who is behind these shameful actions."
Fu Cha Zhixi immediately thought of the Queen, after all, the Queen had the purpose and ability to do this.
"Yes, I will check it out right away."
Yuhu quickly spoke up.
Soon, Yu Hu found some clues, and this matter was indeed related to the Queen's people.
Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but frown. The Queen was indeed going to take action against Lingrong's fetus.
There had been no movement before, and it turned out that he wanted to wait until Lingrong was more pregnant before taking action.
Fortunately, the time for the emperor to return was approaching, so she would first take care of Lingrong and ensure she gave birth to the child safely before looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
The weather turned cooler, and in August, everyone returned to the palace together.
After returning to the palace, Fu Cha Zhixi immediately went to An Lingrong's palace in secret.
Although she was apparently confined to the palace, she was actually allowed to go out. However, she chose not to leave the palace just in case.
But as for Lingrong, she had to go to her palace in person to take a closer look at the situation before she could feel at ease.
Taking advantage of the nightfall, Fu Cha Zhixi dressed up as a maid and rushed to the Yanxi Palace with Su Qin.
"Ling Rong."
As soon as Fu Cha Zhixi entered the hall, she saw Ling Rong lying on the bed with a pale face and a bulging belly. She looked very fragile, which made her feel more uneasy.
"elder sister?"
Hearing Fu Cha Zhixi's voice, An Lingrong sat up subconsciously.
She knew that the emperor had returned, but her sister was under house arrest, so she had no way to go to her sister's palace to see her for the time being.
Just when I was thinking of asking Chuntao to pass a message to my sister, I heard my sister's voice.
As soon as I saw my sister's outfit, I knew that she must have secretly come to see me. I felt happy but also a little worried.
"Don't move. Your belly is so big now, you should just lie down on the bed."
Fu Cha Zhixi saw An Lingrong was about to get up, so he hurried over to stop her.
"What's going on here? Although I received your message, I still can't completely let go of my worry."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong, who looked unwell, with some concern and asked.
"Sister, I pretended this on purpose for them to see."
After saying this, An Lingrong wiped off the powder on her face, and indeed her complexion looked much better.
"So that's how it is. You scared me so much. You don't even know that after I heard about you in the Old Summer Palace, I wanted to run back to see you right away."
Fu Cha Zhixi then breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at An Lingrong with some reproach.
"Sister, you're still scolding me. I was just frightened by her. She sent me a letter without even writing it clearly. She just told me not to worry. But how can I be at ease?"
An Lingrong reached out and held her sister's hand, and after carefully looking her up and down, she felt relieved and said.
"It's not that I don't want to go into detail, but there are some things that the fewer people know, the better. After all, this is not just a matter of the harem, it also involves the court and the emperor."
Fu Cha Zhixi quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"Is it the Nian family?"
The last two words were not uttered in any sound, only the lip shapes were made.
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong and nodded, while also making a gesture to keep quiet.
"So this kind of thing is really not easy to write in a letter."
"I actually had a rough guess about this before. I suspected that someone had deliberately passed this news to my ears, so I deliberately spread the news that my pregnancy was not good, so that the person behind the scenes could relax their vigilance."
An Lingrong took over the conversation after hearing this.
"That's great. I found out that it seems to be the Queen's handiwork."
Fucha Zhixi spoke.
"seem?"
"Sister, do you think it's not something the Queen would do?"
An Lingrong keenly noticed the uncertainty in Fu Cha Zhixi's words.
"Yes, I did think so before, but no matter how I checked, I couldn't find anything from the Queen. So I guess it will be the same as before. Although it was the Queen's intention, the person who actually did it might not be the Queen."
Fu Cha Zhixi began to explain.
"That's possible. After all, if the queen does everything herself, once she is exposed, she won't even be able to find someone to take the blame. But if she lets others do it, even if she finds out, she can still pretend to be innocent."
An Lingrong nodded in agreement when she heard this.
"Sister, do you think it was Concubine Cao who did it?"
"It doesn't look like Concubine Cao's work. After all, Concubine Cao's plans are always meticulous, and it's extremely difficult to find any clues. But in this case, it was easy to find the problem."
Fu Cha Zhixi thought about it and shook her head. Her intuition told her that this was not something that Concubine Cao would do.
"That's strange. Besides Concubine Cao, the Queen only has Concubine Chun and Concubine Nian under her. Could it be them who did it?"
An Lingrong was more suspicious of Concubine Nian. After all, Chun'er's innocence could easily deceive others and make them not suspicious.
"No matter who did it, we have to find a way to get to the bottom of it. Even if we can't do anything to the queen, we can at least cut off one of her arms."
Fucha Zhixi said with a sullen face.
"But the most important thing now is to give birth to the baby in your belly safely. It will be within a few days. What does Doctor An say?"
"Doctor An said the baby is fine and will be born in the next few days."
An Lingrong couldn't help but touch her belly with a loving smile on her face.
"In that case, Chuntao, please take good care of your young master. Have you prepared everything that needs to be prepared?"
Fu Cha Zhixi turned to Chun Tao and asked.
"My lady, everything is ready."
"Your Majesty, rest assured that this servant will keep a close eye on the young lady and will not give anyone else the slightest chance to cause trouble."
Chuntao quickly responded.
"By the way, we must be extremely cautious on the day of delivery to prevent the person behind the scenes from taking action on that day. By the way, is this midwife reliable?"
Fucha Zhixi asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, sister. This midwife is a relative of Doctor An. Doctor An has guaranteed her. I have personally seen her and she is an honest woman."
An Lingrong said with a smile.
