Chapter 187 I am the biggest enemy
An Lingrong had never taken apart her quilt. She put it away because she felt it smelled strange. Later, when she didn't want to get pregnant, she took it out and used it again, and she didn't have any health problems.
But it does work, making the skin smoother and more delicate and improving sleep quality.
Now, she saw the same quilt in Suiyuxuan. An Lingrong originally wanted to get evidence in one fell swoop, but she didn't expect that it would be different from what she thought.
Could it be that I am really judging others by my own mean standards?
Zhen Huan saw the hesitation in An Lingrong's eyes.
She asked the host to take out a quilt from the box to cover herself.
As for the bed with the hole, just put it aside for now.
In fact, Zhen Huan was not unaware of the effects of musk, but she had never really smelled the scent of musk. The bag of male musk dug out from under the crabapple tree before, which was unprocessed, had an extremely pungent aroma.
Therefore, Zhen Huan could not distinguish the smell of musk.
"You mean musk?"
Zhen Huan asked Liu Zhu not to show off, bought another brocade quilt, and went to sleep with An Lingrong first.
"I thought that thing would be in the quilt, but it's clearly not there when I opened it just now. Maybe my sister is too suspicious. I don't need to worry too much."
An Lingrong spoke calmly while lying on the embroidered pillow.
"Ask Dr. Wen to see you tomorrow, and you'll know the answer. Sister, go to sleep."
"Ah."

Yanqing Hall, the main hall.
Concubine Duan was wearing a lavender nightgown and was reading a scroll of poetry. On the low table beside her was a small bowl of blood swallows that had just been eaten.
Now before going to bed, Concubine Duan would eat a small bowl of blood swallows sent by Concubine Hua.
With daily nourishing medicinal food, and with the combined efforts of Wen Shichu and Wei Lin in using all their medical skills to find out the cause of her daily cough, Concubine Duan's blood circulation is now much better.
She was originally skinny as a bone, but after a year of recuperation, she has gained some weight. However, Concubine Duan rarely goes out, so no one noticed.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here." Jixiang trotted into the bedroom.
Concubine Duan put down the poem scroll, surprised by Jixiang's words. It was snowing heavily outside the window. Why would the emperor come at this moment?
The emperor hasn't entered the gate of Yanqing Palace for more than a year.
"Jixiang, take the bowls and cups away."
Concubine Duan's heart was beating like a drum but she did not lose her mind. Although her heart was sweet, there was also bitterness spreading.
Using a cup of blood swallow, you actually have to hide it.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
Su Peisheng opened the cotton curtain and invited the emperor into the main hall. After taking off his cloak, Concubine Duan walked forward to pay her respects to the emperor.
"You are weak, so you don't have to go through these empty formalities."
The emperor stretched out his hand, helped Concubine Duan up, and sat them down on the couch together.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Today I have some free time, so I came to see you."
Jixiang brought a cup of hot tea for the emperor to drink.
It was just a cup of old Longjing tea. The emperor took a sip and frowned slightly.
This tea was just something that Concubine Duan didn't want to drink, so Jixiang put it away to drink himself. There was only a little bit left, and Jixiang had been planning to throw it all away, but he didn't expect the Emperor to come, so he decided to avoid wasting it.
On weekdays, Concubine Duan drank the finest silver tea.
"Are the servants in the Imperial Household Department doing their best?" the Emperor asked.
"The servants are all very dedicated. I like to be quiet on weekdays, and I don't need many people."
"If there is anything missing, just tell the queen, don't hide it."
"I understand."
The wind and snow outside seemed to blow into Concubine Duan's heart. In the past year, everything she ate and used was secretly provided by Concubine Hua.
What the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent were just the promised allowances.
Even if the Queen and the Emperor don't know about these things for the moment, they should be clear about them after so long.
If the emperor had not come to drink tea today, how could he have remembered the harsh treatment he had received from the Imperial Household Department.
Concubine Duan: "Is there anything troubling the Emperor today?"
"I went to Concubine Wan's place, but she was not feeling well and refused to see me. Later, I went to Xianfu Palace and Changchun Palace, but I didn't expect that they were both asleep."
As Concubine Duan listened to the emperor's words, the gentleness in her eyes gradually faded.
Concubine Duan: So I am the biggest enemy.
"I heard that the emperor has found another beauty. Are you satisfied?"
Xiao Xiazi told Jixiang the gossip of New Year's Eve, and Jixiang repeated it vividly to Concubine Duan. Concubine Duan sighed at the time that the emperor had been so easy to control over the years.
"It's just so-so, just similar in appearance, after all, not even one-tenth as good as Chun Yuan." The emperor leaned on the kang and casually shook the beads in his hand, as if it was his attitude towards Ling.
Concubine Duan: I understand. Now I am here to find spiritual resonance. Forget it, since you only come once every three to five years, I will resonate with you for a while.
"Your Majesty, it has been a long time since you played chess with me. How about playing a game with me?"
"Alright."
"Jixiang." Concubine Duan ordered Jixiang to set out the chessboard.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, so the emperor stayed overnight in Yanqing Palace.
The game of chess continued, but in the middle of the night Jixiang replaced the burnt silver charcoal with the black charcoal she used in her room. The emperor glanced at the ground and couldn't help frowning.
He picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip of hot tea.
The musty smell of old year's Longjing tea penetrated into the emperor's lungs and made him feel uncomfortable.
"Would you like to get a cup of tea for the emperor?" As she said this, Concubine Duan couldn't help but cough twice.
Concubine Duan noticed that the Emperor was dissatisfied with the things in Yanqing Palace. These things had not been used for a long time, but Jixiang was smart enough tonight and turned them all out.
Clear tea is just clear water. How could Concubine Duan not understand the auspicious intention? If it were the previous Concubine Duan, she would have taken out the best things to entertain the emperor.
But tonight, she didn't really want to put in any effort.
"No need, just leave it as it is."
The emperor played a few more rounds of chess with Concubine Duan, and then went to sleep with Concubine Duan helping him.

The next morning, Xiao Yunzi came and asked Wen Shichu to come from the Imperial Hospital to check Zhen Huan's pulse.
Wei Lin was grinding medicine on the side. When he heard that Young Master An was also in Suiyuxuan, he packed up the medicine box for his master and wanted to go to Suiyuxuan with his master.
"Wei Lin, just check Ping's pulse. I can go alone." Wen Shichu wanted to take the medicine box from Wei Lin.
Wei Lin held the medicine box on his shoulder tightly and said, "Master, I feel that I have not practiced seeing patients with you recently. I still need to follow you more to gain more experience."
Wen Shichu was touched to hear that his disciple was so eager to learn, so he did not stop him and let Xiao Yunzi lead the way.
"But what's wrong with Lady Wan?"
"I just felt a little nervous when I woke up early in the morning, so I asked Lord Wen to go and take a look." Xiao Yunzi's voice was neither loud nor soft, and he finished his words just inside the door before he stepped out of the Imperial Hospital.
