Zhen's mother obtained permission and had lunch with Zhen Huan before leaving.
But just like that, Zhen Huan was extremely grateful.
She recalled what her mother had told her just now. Nian Gengyao had restrained himself a lot and would not embarrass her father.
Zhen Huan understood when she heard this, fearing that this was what Nian Shilan had specifically told her.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me whether you will come over tonight?"
Zhen Huan thought for a while and Jin Xi called in and asked.
"I didn't say anything, but the emperor knows that Mrs. Zhen will come to the palace today, and I'm afraid she will come in the evening."
Zhen Huan nodded after listening to Jin Xi's words and said, "Is Chun Chang still in the palace? Just say that I invite her to come over and have dinner here."
"Empress."
Jin Xi listened to Zhen Huan's words with a worried look on her face: "I'm afraid Chun Chang is over there..."
"I know what you are going to say, but you can't be so defensive. You have to give her a chance."
Zhen Huan didn't want to worry about it every day in the palace, so she might as well solve it quickly.
But she didn't expect that Fang Chunyi didn't do anything, but Concubine Qi took action.
"My lord, there is someone coming from Concubine Qi's palace."
Liu Zhu walked in and reported.
"Concubine Qi?"
Zhen Huan was a little surprised: "It's rare for Concubine Qi to send someone over. She has never had any contact with our palace."
"Yes, but she is a concubine, so the young master has to see her."
Jin Xi naturally knew what Zhen Huan meant, but now she had to see her even if she didn't want to.
"Yeah, let's pass it on then."
"This slave has met Concubine Wan."
It is Concubine Qi’s personal green fruit.
"Get up."
Zhen Huan smiled lightly: "What orders do you have, Madam?"
"Thank you so much, ma'am."
Cui Guo stood up and said, "Concubine Qi personally made a plate of chestnut cakes and sent a slave to deliver it. Concubine Wan please use it slowly."
"Thank you, my wife, on my behalf."
"Slave, please leave."
Jin Xi took the things and put them on the table, and Cui Guo went down.
"It is said that the pastries from Yikun Palace are the best. I don't know how good the cakes from Concubine Qi's Palace are. Do you want to try them, young master?"
Liu Zhu looked at the cake and asked with a smile.
Zhen Huan looked at the cake and thought for a while: "Don't eat it. I'm not very hungry right now. Let's eat together when the emperor comes in the evening."
"My lord, although it was sent by Concubine Qi, I still want the imperial doctor to look at it before eating it."
Huanbi said on the side: "Concubine Qi has three elder brothers, so your pregnancy is also a threat to her."
"It just so happens that it's time for my young master to ask for Ping'an's pulse. I will go and ask Doctor Zhang to come over now."
Jinxi also felt that what Huanbi said made sense, so she quickly went to ask for help from the imperial doctor.
After Imperial Physician Wen followed Jin Xi to check Zhen Huan's pulse, Liu Zhu took out the plate of chestnut cake.
"Can you please Dr. Wen to check on me? I'm pregnant now, so I don't dare to eat indiscriminately."
Zhen Huan did not tell the origin of the chestnut cake, nor did she say it was poisonous. She just asked Dr. Wen to take a look.
But how could Dr. Wen not know that Dr. Zhang usually came to check Zhen Huan's pulse, but today Jin Xi went to the Tai Hospital and said she was looking for herself. She quickly took out the silver needle and tried it, and it turned out to be poisonous.
"Mother, this chestnut cake is inedible."
Although Doctor Wen detected that the chestnut cake was poisonous, he could not say what kind of poison it was because he had not tested it.
"What?"
Zhen Huan couldn't believe it when she heard that Concubine Qi actually dared to lock up poisonous things.
"Maybe you can tell what kind of poison it is?"
Jin Xi thought for a while, Concubine Qi shouldn't dare to poison her so blatantly, right?
"Little Master, An Changzai is here."
At this time, Xiao Yunzi came in and reported that An Lingrong was here.
Zhen Huan didn't pay attention and let her in at the first call.
"Master Wen, is it possible to detect it?"
Zhen Huan asked.
An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan's nervous look when she came in.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Zhen Huan didn't answer An Lingrong, and An Lingrong didn't think it was anything, so she reached out and picked up a piece of chestnut cake.
"lay down."
"lay down."
Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan spoke at the same time.
An Lingrong was startled and quickly put down the things in his hands.
"My lord, I have to take it back and study it to determine what kind of poison it is."
Wen Shichu didn't dare to say what kind of poison it was, so he could only give this solution.
"poison?"
An Lingrong now understood why the two of them were so nervous when she picked up the pastry.
She took her hand and smelled it, making some guesses.
"Mr. Wen, do you have any antidote in your medicine box?"
An Lingrong asked.
"Yes, but what do you want to do?"
Wen Shichu looked at An Lingrong and asked.
Zhen Huan didn't understand what An Lingrong meant at first, but she knew it when she saw An Lingrong quickly pick up a piece of chestnut cake and put it in his mouth.
"What are you doing? Spit it out."
Zhen Huan was anxious and wanted to reach out to pull her, but An Lingrong took a step back and spit out the chestnut cake.
"There should be oleander juice in it."
As soon as An Lingrong opened her mouth, Huanbi quickly handed her a cup of tea to rinse her mouth with.
When Wen Shichu heard that it was oleander, he quickly took out the antidote and gave it to An Lingrong.
"What kind of poison is Oleander?"
Zhen Huan watched An Lingrong take the antidote and then quickly asked: "You are the same, why do you dare to try anything? What if it is a poison?"
An Lingrong smiled after listening to Zhen Huan's words and said, "No, sister, I just took some pastry, but I felt it had a bitter taste. I also heard that Dr. Wen said it was poisonous, so I made my guess."
"Oleander is cold and poisonous, and has the effect of removing blood stasis and relieving pain."
Wen Shichu quickly explained the medicinal effects of oleander.
"But everyone knows that my sister has chest pain and drinks cinnamon twig soup. Oleander and cinnamon twigs greatly increase blood circulation and remove blood stasis. It is a powerful tool for injuring the fetus."
An Lingrong took the words and said, "Sister, where did this pastry come from?"
"Concubine Qi sent someone to deliver it."
Zhen Huan turned pale after listening to An Lingrong's words. Fortunately, she didn't eat.
"The palace maid said just now that Concubine Qi made it herself?"
Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi and asked.
"Yes, Concubine Qi must be envious of the young master's favor and jealous of the young master's pregnancy, so she made this cake."
Before Liu Zhu could wait for Jin Xi to answer, he became extremely angry: "My young master, you must tell the emperor about this."
But at this time, Zhen Huan looked at the plate of pastries with great composure. She couldn't just tell the emperor.
"Sister, the emperor must know about this, but you were not hurt after all."
An Lingrong said in time.
"Yes, I was not hurt, and the child is fine. Even if the emperor knew about it, he would not punish Concubine Qi severely."
Zhen Huan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Wen Shichu and said, "What would happen if an ordinary person accidentally ate this oleander?"
"If you eat too little, you will only get diarrhea, vomiting, or dizziness."
