Chapter 48

: I am a noble concubine but I am not in a position of power (23)

After learning that Liang Chengbi was pregnant, An Yiran sent a lot of medicines to replenish the body's constitution. Only those with a constitution of 600 or above can guarantee that two people will not die.

An Yiran cooks her meals every day to prevent anyone from having evil intentions.

Liang Chengbi went out every day to improve his friendship with other concubines. When An Yiran saw that the harem was almost close to making friends with her, this was something she was happy to see.

"What are your orders from Concubine Yun?" Liang Chengbi rubbed the handkerchief in his hand with his fingers.

"It's An Yiran who has been taking care of your baby personally all this time. Before the An family official has been reinstated, I put this in your food."

Yunmei walked down and thrust a small bottle into Liang Chengbi's hand.

"What is this?"

"Don't worry, it won't affect your fetus. It will just make you feel uncomfortable for a while." Naturally, she wouldn't let anything happen to the dragon fetus. From now on, this will be her own child.

Yunmei touched Liang Chengbi's slightly heaving belly and then saw off the guests.

"Chengbi is back. You have been particularly fond of sweet and sour dishes lately, so I went to make some bone soup to improve your taste. It's better to keep it light when you're pregnant." She held a bowl of beef bone soup and placed it in her arms.

On the round table.

"What's wrong? Why are you stunned? You eat first, and I'll get the other dishes."

"It's okay, I just feel a little dazed recently. You go ahead and I'll drink some soup first."

An Yiran wiped the oil that spilled from her hands on the hand cleansing cloth and went to the kitchen again.

Liang Chengbi took out the small bottle and played with it in his hand, and finally made up his mind and put it into the soup.

An Yiran was very surprised when she came back and saw her drinking the soup with relish. It is always good to eat less greasy food.

"Ran'er, do you want to drink some?" Liang Chengbi pushed the bowl in front of An Yiran, and An Yiran pushed it back.

"This is specially prepared for you, a pregnant woman. How can I steal it from you?"

"Take a sip." Liang Chengbi took a sip of soup with a spoon and put it to her mouth, and An Yiran drank it.

"As expected of my craftsmanship!"

The two happily ate the dishes, but after a while Liang Chengbi started to have a stomachache.

"My stomach hurts."

An Yiran thought she had eaten too much to hold up her stomach, so she quickly helped her up: "Are you going to show your respects?"

"No." Liang Chengbi held her hand tightly, his nails digging into her palm.

An Yiran saw that she was sweating profusely and had abdominal pain, so she quickly called for an imperial doctor.

She took Liang Chengbi's pulse. The poison was very weak and would not harm the child.

"Did you go somewhere to eat something?"

"No, I didn't even drink tea outside today. Is the child okay?"

"The child is fine, and so are you. The doctor will be here soon." An Yiran patted her back comfortingly, and then her own expression suddenly changed slightly.

She immediately started to induce vomiting but didn't eat anything. She retched for a long time but nothing came out.

There is no problem if this meal is cooked by her herself.

"Cheng Bi! Cheng Bi! What's going on? Where is the imperial doctor?" Qin Wenchang ran over in a hurry, followed by a group of eunuchs.

"I've already gone to ask for it. The doctor will be here soon."

Qin Wenchang looked at An Yiran as if he wanted to dig a hole in her, "Concubine Shen is solely responsible for Concubine Liang's bed and food. Now that something has happened, you have to give me an explanation."

An Yiran's face was pale, her stomach felt like a knife was twisting, and the earth-shaking pain almost made the two of them smash their entire bodies into pieces.

Liang Chengbi now doubted Yun Bin's words. If she was in such pain, would it really cause no harm to the child in her belly?

"Your Majesty, child, child!"

The imperial doctor hurriedly ran over carrying the medicine box, walked straight to Liang Chengbi, and took her pulse.

"It's not very toxic and has no effect on the fetus. If you are a lady who can't bear the pain, she might get over it now. This dosage is very careful and it is the maximum available dosage."

The imperial doctor first pricked Liang Chengbi a few times with a needle, and then quickly ordered someone to grab some medicine.

"Help, is there someone?" Yu Ansui heard the sound of someone coming in the secret room and quickly shouted for help. She didn't want to stay here and eat leftovers every day, nor did she want to see her ugly appearance.

But the soundproofing is so good that no one can hear it.

"That's good." Qin Wenchang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the imperial doctor say that he was fine with the emperor's heir. His brothers were restless after taking the throne.

There are already several princesses, but the little prince has nothing to show for so far, so he is very concerned about Liang Chengbi's pregnancy.

An Yiran secretly went to the space to grab the medicine when no one was paying attention, and is fine now.

The doctor examined it and found that the problem was with the bowl of beef bone soup.

"Your Majesty, something was added to the beef bone soup, which caused the empress to suffer from abdominal pain."

Just as Qin Wenchang was about to go to An Yiran to ask questions, Liang Chengbi grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

"I'm not a royal concubine. We are like sisters and she will never harm me."

In fact, what she said was very ambiguous. Did you say she was defending An Yiran? She didn't seem to say anything useful, but her words sounded like she was defending her.

"People's hearts are separated from each other, and you never know what others think." Qin Wenchang carefully tucked her into bed, and then asked the eunuch to pass on an imperial edict.

"The noble concubine An Yiran poisoned the concubines and their heirs. I thought that Concubine Liang and her unborn heirs were fine, but her behavior was extremely vicious. She has been deprived of her title and will live in seclusion for a month from now on."

An Yiran sat motionless on the chair. Qin Wenchang slapped a hat on her without even checking. She remembered it and would return it to him one day.

"Chengbi, do you believe me?"

Liang Chengbi answered her without hesitation. An Yiran didn't need others to believe her, as long as Liang Chengbi believed in her.

Everyone in the palace was in panic after learning about this incident. Concubine Shen, who usually seemed to say anything, would also play dirty tricks behind her back. There were different opinions in the harem and the front court.

In the dead of night, someone secretly watched An Yiran, who was thinking about his past behind closed doors.

"What did my stupid brother do again?" Qin Zhi hugged An Yiran with a resentful look on his face.

"You don't know why I don't believe it so much." An Yiran poured him a cup of tea, "I'm not angry because of him, but because someone dares to harm Cheng Bi on my territory."

Hearing this, Qin Zhi put down the tea cup, looked at An Yiran with twinkling eyes, and actually agreed with Qin Wenchang's words.

"I was playing chess with Qin Wenchang at that time. I heard in a hurry that something happened to you, so I followed him. Then I heard him say something, and I felt that there was a way." He curled his lips, as if questioning.

Qin Wenchang can also say such reasonable words.

"Stop being so pretentious, what did he say?"

"People's hearts are separated from each other, and you never know what others think." He did not elaborate further, believing that An Yiran could understand.

"What do you mean?" An Yiran's face looked a little haggard. Qin Zhi shook his head and said that he didn't mean anything. She understood, but he couldn't wake up someone who was pretending to sleep.

Some things must be experienced by her before she can believe them.
