When Yan Ji returned to the palace, she was still sad. Ren Lengxiang called her several times behind her but never responded.

Seeing Yan Ji's absent-minded look, Leng Xiang burst into tears in her anxious eyes and kept muttering, "Empress, Empress, what's wrong with you..."

Yan Ji looked at her calmly and was about to speak, but the tears slight from her eyes had stopped her words. She endured the tears back with great force and said sadly, "Leng Xiang, Meiren Wei is dead. Do you think they will treat me like this one day?"

Leng Xiang knelt in front of Yan Ji, still sobbing, "No, no, the master is Empress Zhaoyi, different from Meiren Wei. With the emperor here, they dare not do anything easily..."

"Why don't you dare?" Yan Ji laughed coldly, with a hint of Wen Mo and fatigue between her eyebrows. "How many pairs of eyes are staring at me in the palace now, including Concubine Chen, Empress, Zhong Zhaoyuan, and now there is the Queen Mother... I can't stand them even if I do."

Leng Xiang couldn't help but choke and said, "Master, don't say that, you are pregnant with Longsen, and they don't dare to do anything..."

Yan Ji's eyes fell on her raised abdomen, with a little joy, but the smile was so sad, "The day I met Chu Luo, how could I think he was the emperor? I would rather be a civilian and had nothing. Even if I wandered around the world, there would be only two of us. But he was the emperor and the emperor of this great Chu. What can I do? I also thought of giving up, but I can't. I have never liked someone like this, never. That day, I wanted to never see him again, but when he brought me back from the rain, I decided that he would be him in this life. No matter life or death, he was the only one."

Yan Ji's lips and teeth were awkward, but her eyes were as bright as a mirror. She thought about everything in the past and suddenly smiled slightly, "Now I have his child, this is the best thing in the world, right? Even if he is the emperor, as long as I can stay by his side, I will recognize it no matter what I have."

Her tone was low and soft, and it fell into Leng Xiang's ears, and she felt a sense of tears. She raised her sleeves, wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes, and squeezed out a smile and said to Yan Ji, "Master, your good days are still coming. As long as you give birth to a prince, no one dares to do anything to you."

Yan Ji smiled softly. She sat quietly. Suddenly she smelled a fragrant smell from outside, and said calmly, "This point is a meal delivery."

When Leng Xiang heard Yan Ji say this, she thought she had a good appetite and immediately smiled and said with a smile, "That's right? Before the master came back, the food in the kitchen was ready. Just now, I was afraid that the master would have no appetite, so several aunts were waiting at the door."

Yan Ji smiled slightly, "Tell them to come in."

Leng Xiang immediately got up and went.

But for a moment, a table of Manhan banquets appeared in front of Yan Ji.

Because Yan Ji was pregnant, the emperor had extremely strict requirements on the kitchen. He often had to prepare dozens of food for a meal, and often had to serve another dessert in brunch.

Yan Ji looked closely and found that the dishes on this day were not much the same as usual.

Gong Bao hare, fried frog, coriander pigeon, Nianzi Muji wild vegetables, fried guinea fowl, mint licorice, tube radish soup, thousand celery...

After reading this, Yan Ji couldn't help but feel suspicious. She had been hiding in Yanquelou, Lin'an for many years and was very knowledgeable about food. Today, most of the food on this table of dishes is incompatible.

Thinking of this, Yan Ji couldn't help but feel a bit cold and cold.

"I won't eat anymore, I have no appetite." Yan Ji pushed the meal in front of her heavily, got up and was about to leave.

"Empress!" Someone suddenly called her behind her. Once she returned, she saw an older aunt kneeling on the ground. "Is the food I cooked not to the Empress's appetite? What does the Empress want to eat? I will go and make another serving."

Yan Ji looked at her and said softly, "No need, you go down."

Aunt Rong's heart suddenly jumped, but she didn't dare to say more, so she hesitated to leave.

After only Yan Ji and Leng Xiang were left in the hall, Yan Ji immediately called Leng Xiang over and said with a sad look, "Hurry up, go and find Doctor Du!"

Leng Xiang saw that Yan Ji's face was sweating heavily, thinking that she had any discomfort symptoms, and her face turned pale, so she hurried to the Imperial Hospital.

In just a quarter of an hour, Du Zhong came to Tongxin Hall. He was extremely anxious on the way to come, thinking that Zhaoyi was inappropriate. Until now, he saw Yan Ji sitting in the hall, and then he felt relieved and leaned over to greet the emperor, "I wish you a blessing to Empress Zhaoyi."

Yan Ji glanced at him slightly, turned to Leng Xiang and said, "You go down first, if you have anything to do, I will call you in."

Leng Xiang hesitated a little, but she did not dare to disobey the master's wishes, so she retreated.

After Leng Xiang left, Yan Ji's expression became cold. She pointed to a table of meals not far away and said in a deep voice, "Please ask the imperial physician to help me check the strangeness of these meals."

Du Zhong said in a gentle voice, and his whole body was shaking, "Does the Empress think there is something wrong?"

"The imperial physician will know at a glance."

Du Zhong no longer refused, stood up and walked to the table. He took the silver needle and carefully examined each meal. Nothing happened, but he vaguely felt something was wrong. Most of the board on the table was incompatible, and it was really unbelievable if it was an unintentional mistake. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat.

In addition to the imperial concubine, there are others who are interested in the Empress Zhaoyi.

He tried his best to calm his expression and bowed to Yan Ji and said, "Empress Zhaoyi, all the food is non-toxic, but this food is incompatible."

Du Zhong's words must have confirmed Yan Ji's thoughts. She smiled coldly and said, "This is only the first day, and I was revealed by the palace. The imperial doctor thinks, who is trying to harm me?"

Du Zhong was surprised when he heard this. His false surprise was just right. He glanced at Yan Ji slightly and said, "According to what I saw, someone might not have wanted to deliberately harm the Empress. Maybe it was just a mistake in the kitchen. If the Empress is suspicious, she can avoid these foods and not eat them."

Yan Ji smiled sadly, but the smile was extremely deserted. "I still want to eat it. If I don't eat it, it will arouse others' suspicion. Wouldn't it be a different way to harm me and my children?"

Du Zhong couldn't help but frowned, "Empress really wants..."

"It must not be that I really eat it, it's just not to make them suspicious." Yan Ji sighed heavily and looked at Du Zhong and said, "I still have to trouble Doctor Du. It's just that today's matter must not be mentioned to the emperor. Do you understand?"

Du Zhong lowered his head, deliberately avoiding Yan Ji's gaze, and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

After leaving the gate of Tongxin Hall, Du Zhong did not go back to the Imperial Hospital directly, and walked to Chonghua Hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw several palace maids cleaning the courtyard, while his lotus core was sitting in the corridor and quietly looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Du Zhong was happy and hurriedly walked forward. Lian Xin seemed to have not noticed him. When he suddenly saw him, he was shocked and quickly said happily, "Why are you here at this time?"

Du Zhong held Lian Xin's hand tightly and refused to let go, his tone was full of doting, "I miss you, so let's see you."

The lotus core turned red and immediately hung silent.

At this moment, Wanxiang came forward. When Lianxin saw her, she quickly let go of her hand and called respectfully, "Aunt Wanxiang."

Seeing this, Du Zhong immediately lowered her head and said to Lian Xin, "I won't disturb you anymore. You can follow your aunt to do it first."

Wanxiang smiled slightly, as if she didn't realize it, "Where is there anything to do? It's just our work. The master has given a special order. Miss Lianxin should not be asked to do things."

Lianxin lowered her head lower, with a gentle smile on her face, and said humbly, "This is just the master's pity. What kind of work is there that a servant cannot do?"

Wanxiang smiled softly and turned to Du Zhong and said, "Does Doctor Du shouldn't be in the Imperial Hospital or Tongxin Hall at this time?"

Du Zhong sagged slightly, "It was originally, but... I have an important matter today to tell the imperial concubine."

When Wanxiang heard this, she was immediately happy. She knew that this Du Zhong was a loyal and useful material. Whenever there was any news, she immediately came to Chonghua Palace. So she smiled and said, "Master is inside. You and Lian Xin will chat for a while before I can report it."

After saying that, she looked at Lianxin with a smile and turned to the hall.

In the hall, Chang'an was sitting on the couch, holding a book and reading it. The fragrant Wan walked up and whispered, "Master."

Chang'an raised his head slightly and glanced at her, "What's the matter?"

"Doctor Du is outside and said he has something to tell the Empress."

"Oh?" Chang'an raised his eyebrows and smiled unconsciously, "Why does he have any news? Are you going to come to Chonghua Palace to tell me?"

Wan Xiang smiled, "I thought so just now, and Doctor Du is sincerely looking to the Empress."

Chang'an smiled softly, and said, "At first, I was also betting on his infatuation with Lianxin. Unexpectedly, Du Zhong was really infatuated. For Lianxin, she was willing to do anything." After that, she sighed softly, "Lianxin is also a lucky person."

Wanxiang heard Chang'an's words with some envy, and she laughed unconsciously, "What are you thinking about?"

Chang'an smiled and said, "What else can I think is just a little envy. Their couple is really more sincere than this palace and the emperor." At the end, her smile gradually calmed down, and the sadness in her heart suddenly surged.

Recently, Wei Qingyun gave birth to a child, and Song Yanji was pregnant, Chu Luo's thoughts were almost completely on the latter. After careful calculations, Chu Luo had not come to her palace for nearly a month. If it were Chang'an in the past, it would have been a big deal to the Mingde Palace. But now she is indifferent. Apart from that little bit of loss, she has no other thoughts.

Thinking of this, Chang'an couldn't help feeling sad.

However, when she looked at Wanka, she still showed her usual gentle smile and said lightly, "Call Du Zhong in."
