Chapter 62 His Trust
The Empress Dowager got the news and came to visit Concubine Ning, and everyone naturally greeted her again.

But this time, the Empress Dowager didn't even go into Concubine Ning's bedroom, she only asked about Concubine Ning's situation in the hall, then asked Shang Kelan to take good care of Concubine Hua, then turned and left Xianya Palace.

It seems that she came to visit Concubine Ning, but it was just a formality because of the formalities.

Shang Kelan didn't stay in Qinyan Palace for long, but returned to her own Xianya Palace.

When it gets dark, the Compassion Palace.

Jin Yantang lifted the curtain and walked in. Even though he had done a lot of business during the day, there was nothing unusual on his face at the moment.

Seeing him, the Empress Dowager hurriedly got up and took his hand, and said excitedly: "Tang'er, do you know what happened in Lanyue Palace this morning? There were so many snakes, insects, rats and ants at that time, it really made Aijia's scalp go numb!"

Jin Yantang glanced at Fupu, and Fupu retreated with the servants of the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

After helping the Empress Dowager to sit down on the couch, Jin Yantang brought her a cup of ginseng tea and said, "Empress Mother, I heard that you sent Concubine Hua to invite Tiandao Taoist from Zhongnan Mountain outside the palace to enter the palace tomorrow?"

Speaking of this matter, the Queen Mother came to her senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Indeed, I just don't know how Concubine Hua is doing."

Jin Yantang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "Mother, don't worry about what happened today. What is the reason that caused strange things to happen in Lanyue Palace today? When the Taoist priest comes tomorrow, everything will come to light."

The queen mother sighed, looked at him worriedly and said: "How can the Ai family rest assured? You said that Concubine Ning finally gave birth to a grandson for the Ai family, regardless of male or female, the Ai family also likes it. After all, it is your own flesh and blood, but after finding out about her past affairs with Imperial Doctor Li, the Ai family is very worried about whether the child belongs to you!"

Jin Yantang patted the Empress Dowager's hand, and said a few words of comfort.

But the Queen Mother said to him: "Concubine Ning's child is gone now, to be honest, Ai's family is still relieved, in case that child is not yours..."

On the side, although Nanny Chen wanted to laugh, she couldn't help reminding: "Queen Mother, I suspect that Your Majesty should be aware of these things."

Even though she knew that Jin Yantang could be alone, the Queen Mother still couldn't help treating Jin Yantang like a child.

Jin Yantang also had patience, comforted the Queen Mother a few words, and went to Xianya Palace.

Fupu led him with a lantern in front of him, and when he arrived at Xianya Palace, he happened to catch up with Shang Kelan for dinner.

She wore a white tulle dress and sat in front of the Eight Immortals table, where her favorite food was placed.

The appearance of Shang Kelan holding the chopsticks just about to move just caught Jin Yantang's eyes, which made him laugh.

When is the time, this Lan'er will not treat her stomach badly!
All the servants in the palace hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty sees you, Your Majesty is blessed and safe!"

Zhi Zi also hastily reminded Shang Kelan, but Shang Kelan had already put down her chopsticks, and bowed to him politely and gracefully: "Concubine..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Yantang helped her up, glanced at the maidservants and said, "You all step back first."

"Yes!"

There was a sound of footsteps fading away, and Zhi Zi and Yuan Ge retreated with a group of maidservants.

Shang Kelan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jin Yantang rarely had time to see her these days, he took good care of her in terms of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. The cold war between the two had already eased.

"Lan'er, sit down."

These three simple words were said by Jin Yantang with a smile.

Shang Kelan saw that he didn't question whether he made Concubine Ning into this state, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "Your Majesty, why didn't you question my concubine today, so whether Concubine Ning's miscarriage was caused by my concubine? "

A smile flashed across Jin Yantang's eyes, but his eyebrows were raised, and he looked down at her and said, "There are rules in the harem, so Lan'er is not allowed to do these things?"

Unexpectedly, Jin Yantang would answer her like this, Shang Kelan couldn't help being taken aback.

But soon, two blushes rose quickly on her jade-white cheeks.

The warm touch came from the tip of her nose, Jin Yantang scratched her nose lightly, and said with a smile: "It's all right to say these things in front of me, but be careful in front of other people."

Afterwards, Jin Yantang put some favorite dishes in her bowl, just like those young couples that Shang Kelan saw in modern times.

The husband comes home after get off work after a tiring day, and enjoys a delicious meal with his wife. His tenderness, patience, and humor belong to her alone.

Shang Kelan couldn't help lowering her head, pursed her lips and smiled, and asked softly: "Then do you believe that there are ghosts in this world? Today, the maids in the palace are saying that Concubine Ning was bewitched by an evil spirit, so she suffered a serious illness and had a miscarriage."

Jin Yantang put down his chopsticks, twisted her white chin with his slender fingers, frowned and said: "It's better to believe it than to believe it, so tomorrow when a chief comes to this harem to exorcise Concubine Ning, I will be there, look See if there are really ghosts in my harem, or are there people pretending to be ghosts!"

When he said the last sentence, Jin Yantang smiled again, let go of Shang Kelan's jaw, and picked up the chopsticks to enjoy the food.

But Shang Kelan, after hearing Jin Yantang's words, her eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

At this moment, in Qin Yan's hall.

The news that His Majesty has come to the Xianya Palace has already reached Concubine Ning's ears. As soon as Lvxiang brought in a bowl of Guben Peiyuan's decoction, she heard the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground.

Lvxiang hurriedly opened the curtain and went in, but what caught her eyes was a pile of broken porcelain bowls and teacups.

Meals and everything were also scattered on the ground.

Concubine Ning's hair was disheveled, and she sat on the bed haggardly, her eyes were full of resentment.

Startled, Lvxiang quickly put down the soup and medicine, walked over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Ning turned her head to look at her and asked sharply, "I ask you, why doesn't Your Majesty come to visit me?"

Lvxiang choked up, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty... After His Majesty entered the Xianya Palace, there has been... There has been no news, empress, it's almost the time of the day, you should take the medicine and take a good rest!"

Concubine Ning snorted coldly, clutched the quilt tightly, and said darkly: "Since it's a bitter trick, it's natural to pretend to be a bit more serious. You go to the Xianya Palace right now, and no matter what method you use, just tell Your Majesty that the palace is fast. If he is dead, I don’t believe that His Majesty won’t come to see me!”

In those few days when she was pregnant and doted on the harem, was His Majesty's tenderness towards her fake?
No, it's impossible for such a powerful, talented and beautiful man to be so ungrateful. If she wants to bet on Jin Yantang's love for her, she doesn't believe that Jin Yantang won't come to see her!
Concubine Ning said decisively, and Lu Xiang couldn't understand her meaning, so she hesitated for a moment, then bowed her knees and said: "Yes, I will leave."

The night was getting darker, and the summer evening wind was blowing on Lvxiang, which made Lvxiang hesitant.

In the night, her eyes flickered with uneasiness: Is it really okay to continue helping Concubine Ning carry out her plan?If Concubine Ning loses, will her ending be the same as Tweety's?
Tweety... that palace maid who was pushed into the pond by her and drowned!
