Chapter 230 Mysterious Nanny's Help, Lingrong's Pregnancy Protection
Zhen Huan looked at the mysterious old woman and asked cautiously, "Who are you? Why do you say you can save Concubine An's child?"
The old nanny bowed slightly and said, "I once worked in the Imperial Hospital and have seen many difficult and complicated cases. I also know some secret recipes for preserving the fetus. Now that Noble Concubine An is in critical condition, I cannot bear to see the little prince or princess die."
Concubine Hua questioned, "Humph! You said you were a police officer? Who knows if you have ulterior motives and are deliberately trying to deceive us?"
The old nanny was unhurried. "It's only natural for Concubine Hua to have some concerns. I've been retired for many years, but recently I heard that there was unrest in the palace, and thinking of the friendship we once had there, I took the risk of coming here. If you don't believe me, please send someone to ask the old doctors in the Imperial Hospital; they may still remember me."
Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said to the maid beside her, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and quietly inquire about this maid's condition. Go quickly and return quickly."
The maid took the order and left. An Lingrong lay weakly on the bed and said softly, "Huan'er, I don't think this nanny is a bad person. Her eyes are very sincere."
Zhen Huan held her hand and said, "Lingrong, don't worry. We should confirm it first. After all, this concerns the safety of you and your child."
After a while, the palace maid returned with a report: "Your Majesty, the old doctor from the Imperial Hospital said that this nanny does exist. She has assisted in the Imperial Hospital for many years and is quite knowledgeable about gynecological diseases."
Zhen Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mammy, if that's the case, then I'll trouble you. If you can save Lingrong's child, I will reward you handsomely."
The old nanny smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I will go and prepare some medicinal soups and dietary prescriptions to protect the fetus. Concubine An must stay in bed and rest for the next few days. You must not worry about anything else."
Concubine Hua was still a little worried: "Mammy, are you sure? If something goes wrong, you can't bear the consequences!"
The old nanny replied respectfully, "Empress Hua, I will do my best. However, regarding the matter of preserving the fetus, in addition to my care, it is also necessary for Concubine An to maintain a calm state of mind and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations."
An Lingrong nodded: "Madam, I'll take note. For the sake of the child, I will definitely restrain myself."
Under the careful care of the old nanny, An Lingrong's pregnancy gradually stabilized. Zhen Huan would come to accompany her every day and chat with her to relieve her boredom.
One day, Zhen Huan came to visit An Lingrong with some newly made snacks: "Lingrong, this is the snack I made today. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
An Lingrong said gratefully, "Huan'er, you are always so considerate. I feel much more at ease every day when you come to accompany me."
Zhen Huan sat by the bed and said, "Just focus on your pregnancy and don't worry about anything else. Once your pregnancy is stable, we can go to the Imperial Garden together to take a walk and enjoy the flowers."
Concubine Hua often came over. Although she was no longer as domineering as before, she still couldn't help nagging: "Concubine An, you must take good care of it. This is your child with the emperor, it's precious!"
An Lingrong smiled and responded, "Empress Hua, thanks to your and Huan'er's concern, I will definitely not let everyone down."
Two months later, An Lingrong's health improved significantly, and her pregnancy became increasingly stable. The old nanny said to Zhen Huan, "Empress Xi, Concubine An's pregnancy is now safe, but you must still be cautious. It's best for her to stay in bed for another month to be on the safe side."
Zhen Huan thanked the old nanny: "Madam, you have worked hard. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done these days."
The old maid said modestly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I must do."
That day, Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua and An Lingrong were chatting in the room.
Zhen Huan said, "Lingrong, when the child is born, if it's a boy, he will be smart and clever; if it's a girl, she will be well-behaved and cute."
An Lingrong's face was filled with happiness. "No matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as he's safe and healthy, that's all that matters. I just hope to raise him well and keep him away from the disputes in the harem."
Concubine Hua jokingly said, "Noble Concubine An is very kind-hearted. However, this child was born into an imperial family, so he still has a long way to go in the future."
As they were talking, the Emperor suddenly came to visit. Seeing that An Lingrong looked good, the Emperor was very pleased: "Noble Concubine An, you must take good care of yourself. I look forward to the child being born soon."
An Lingrong stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I will take good care of myself and the child and live up to your expectations."
The Emperor said to Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua, "You have worked hard to take care of Concubine An. I will definitely reward you generously."
Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua hurriedly thanked him: "Your Majesty, this is what we concubines should do."
However, in this seemingly calm and peaceful atmosphere, the forces secretly coveting did not stop. They were secretly planning in the dark, trying to stir up trouble again when An Lingrong gave birth. A new crisis surrounding An Lingrong's child was slowly approaching.
