The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 157 Guiding Lingrong and changing her mind

"I think the word 'Hui' is very suitable for Concubine Shen."

The emperor confidently said the title he had just thought of.

"Virtuous and generous is an excellent title. The word Hui is very appropriate for Concubine Shen."

The queen agreed with a smile on her face.

"Now that Concubine Shen has a title, she is on an equal footing with her good sister Concubine Wan."

The emperor smiled and nodded. Of course he heard the provocative meaning behind the words, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with saying it.

After all, Concubine Wan looks about 70% similar to Chun Yuan, and she suits his taste on a daily basis, so he naturally wants to give the woman he likes a higher position.

As for Shen Meizhuang, he originally wanted to use her to check and balance Concubine Hua. Although she was good-looking, her personality was a little too dignified. He didn't like this type of woman very much. But fortunately, there was no major problem with her in other aspects. Now that she was pregnant, it was appropriate to give her a title.

"Sister, have you heard? This Concubine Shen has been given a title. She should now be called Concubine Hui."

An Lingrong smiled and said to Fu Cha Zhixi who was sitting opposite her.

"It's normal to raise the status of a pregnant woman."

Fu Cha Zhixi raised his eyes to look at An Lingrong and answered.

She was not surprised that the other party was given a title. Although the plot had some deviations now that she was involved, she did not let this matter get away from her.

"But sister, you were directly made a concubine when you were pregnant. Now Sister Shen is also pregnant. I thought she could also be made a concubine."

An Lingrong spoke thoughtfully.

"Perhaps the emperor did have this idea, but because of the queen's obstruction, he changed the title from concubine to title."

Fu Cha Zhixi naturally knew what was going on here, and explained with a faint smile.

"That's possible. After all, the Queen wouldn't want to see concubines like us get promoted too quickly."

An Lingrong has now seen through the Queen's true nature, so it is natural for her to think badly of her.

"By the way, sister, when Sister Shen was found to be pregnant that day, I was also there, and I noticed at that time that Concubine Cao was a little bit abnormal."

"Do you think she knew that Sister Shen was pregnant, so she deliberately exposed the pregnancy through plum soup?"

An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and expressed her thoughts. After all, this was the most likely reason she could think of.

"It's possible, but do you think her purpose in doing this is to expose the fact that Concubine Shen is pregnant?"

Fu Cha Zhixi frowned. She didn't expect Ling Rong to see the problem here.

But this is not surprising, after all, Lingrong has always been a careful and cautious person.

Compared to An Lingrong who was still sitting on the bench in the original plot, she has now been favored by the emperor a long time ago, so naturally she came to the Old Summer Palace, so it was normal for her to attend Concubine Cao's banquet.

"Sister, do you mean that the other party has other purposes?"

An Lingrong couldn't help but frown and think about it. She still couldn't think of what else the other party could do with this incident besides this.

"What do you think will happen if Concubine Hui's pregnancy is exposed?"

Fu Cha Zhixi thought about it, found a suitable entry point, and began to guide.

"Of course, everyone will be jealous and resentful, and want to find a way to harm the baby in Sister Shen's belly."

An Lingrong didn't quite understand why her sister suddenly asked such an obvious question, but out of trust in her sister, she answered the question honestly.

"You overlooked a very important point. That is, why was it that the imperial physician failed to diagnose Concubine Hui's pregnancy when he examined her pulse before, but it was easily diagnosed at Concubine Cao's banquet?"

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong and spoke.

"Is there something wrong with Sister Shen's pregnancy?"

An Lingrong quickly realized the deeper meaning of her sister's words.

"But the imperial physician said in front of the emperor and empress that Sister Shen was pregnant. If this is false, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

An Lingrong found it hard to believe. This was too arrogant.

Isn't he afraid that the Emperor will punish him for telling lies in front of the Emperor, the Empress, and the concubines?

"Yes."

Fu Cha Zhixi nodded in agreement.

"But what if the doctor took the money and ran away before the incident happened?"

"The mountain is high and the road is long. We may not be able to catch him."

Fu Cha Zhixi asked back with a smile.

"Sister, what you said makes sense. There are indeed some issues with that imperial physician."

"When Sister Shen chose Doctor Liu as the doctor to take care of her baby, Concubine Cao smiled in a very intriguing way, which left a deep impression on me."

"Could it be that Doctor Liu is Lady Cao's man?"

An Lingrong's eyes lit up and she quickly discovered the key point.

"It's very possible, but I think Concubine Cao is from an ordinary family and her position is not high. She probably can't produce something that can attract a promising imperial physician and make him willing to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong and shook his head, not agreeing with her point of view.

"Hua Fei!"

An Lingrong said in a decisive tone.

"It must be Concubine Hua."

"That's right. Concubine Cao doesn't have any good stuff that can bribe the imperial physician. Only Concubine Hua has the Nian family behind her and is in a high position and is favored. She can bribe the imperial physician to work for her."

"That's right. I'm sure that Concubine Hua and Concubine Cao spent so much effort to bribe the imperial physician and hold a banquet. Their purpose must not only be to expose Sister Shen's pregnancy. There must be other purposes."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong and nodded in appreciation. Lingrong was indeed a smart person. He only nodded once, and she quickly thought of so many things. No wonder she was able to become a concubine.

"Is there something wrong with my sister's pregnancy?"

An Lingrong didn't know what she was thinking of, and her face turned pale. She frowned and looked at Fu Cha Zhixi tentatively and asked.

Although this sentence seemed like a question, in her heart she had already determined that there was definitely something wrong with Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy.

Fu Cha Zhixi smiled but said nothing.

She was originally too lazy to care about Shen Meizhuang's matter. After all, the biggest reason for the success of this matter was not how good Cao Guiren's plan was, but that Shen Meizhuang was too gullible, which led to Shen Meizhuang being punished for this matter.

In addition, the relationship between them is not very good. Although they have cooperated several times, they are not very close.

In this case, even if she is willing to say it, the other party may not believe it, so why should she get herself into trouble?
