Chapter 552 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 9

A faint fragrance entered her nose, which was almost imperceptible and could not be detected without careful sniffing. An Lingrong had learned to blend perfume since she was young and was extremely sensitive to the smell of various spices. She could tell at once that the necklace was stained with a little musk.

Musk can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but for women, it can also be a weapon that hurts people invisibly. Wearing jewelry containing musk for a long time can cause menstrual irregularities at the least and...

An Lingrong's heart sank suddenly; the Queen's intention was obvious.

An Lingrong's slender fingers tightly grasped the red chalcedony beads, her knuckles turning pale blue, as if she was about to crush the beads in the next second. She took a deep breath, tried to suppress the fear in her heart, and told herself to stay calm.

After returning to Yongshou Palace, An Lingrong dismissed all the palace servants and sat alone in front of the dressing table. In the bronze mirror, she looked pale and her eyes were dull, and her past gentleness and loveliness were gone.

"Empress, what exactly do you want to do?" An Lingrong murmured to herself in front of the mirror, her voice trembling.

There is no kindness without reason in the harem. The Queen's actions today seem to be caring, but in fact they hide murderous intentions. An Lingrong is not a fool, she knows the interests involved.

She slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the towering palace walls in the distance, feeling lost. This magnificent Forbidden City was like a huge cage that trapped her tightly and made it impossible for her to escape.

"Your Majesty..." An Lingrong murmured in a low voice, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

At this moment, she was extremely eager to see the emperor and to get a little warmth and comfort from him.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the palace, followed by a little eunuch's voice outside the door: "My lady, the emperor is here, he is just outside the palace."

An Lingrong's heart was shocked, she was surprised and happy, and she quickly stood up to greet him.

Yinzhen, dressed in bright yellow uniform, walked into the palace with steady steps. When he saw An Lingrong, a gentle smile appeared on his originally stern face. He walked quickly to her and gently embraced her in his arms.

"Rong'er, what are you thinking about?" Yinzhen's voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of doting.

An Lingrong buried her head in Yinzhen's arms, greedily breathing in the familiar scent from him, as if only in this way could she feel a little at ease.

"Your Majesty, I... I'm scared..." An Lingrong's voice was choked with sobs, and looked pitiful.

Yinzhen frowned slightly, held An Lingrong's face with heartache, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

An Lingrong bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell Yinzhen about the pearl necklace given by the Queen.

"Your Majesty, the Empress gave me a string of red chalcedony beads as a reward today, but I..." An Lingrong stopped here, seeming to want to say something more.

"What's wrong?" Yinzhen asked, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

An Lingrong bit her lower lip lightly, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with tears, and she looked at Yinzhen with pity, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I...I am just worried that this pearl necklace is too valuable, and I am afraid that if I don't take good care of it, it will damage the Queen's grace."

Seeing her being so cautious, Yinzhen felt even more distressed. He gently stroked An Lingrong's cascading hair and said softly, "Silly girl, you are my concubine, and it is only natural for the queen to reward you. You don't have to think too much."

An Lingrong nodded gently, but still couldn't hide the worry between her brows. She wanted to tell Yinzhen about her doubts, but she was afraid that he would think she was trying to sow discord and speak ill of the queen.

What's more, the harem is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Seeing that she looked strange, Yinzhen put down the teacup in his hand and asked with concern: "Rong'er, what's wrong with you? If you have any worries, you might as well tell me and let me share your worries."

An Lingrong raised her head and looked into Yinzhen's deep eyes. She struggled for a long time in her heart, and finally mustered up the courage to whisper, "Your Majesty, I... I smell a faint fragrance on this pearl necklace. I wonder..."

"Fragrance?" Yinzhen frowned slightly. He picked up the string of red chalcedony beads, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently, but he didn't smell anything unusual.

"Your Majesty, this fragrance is very faint. If you don't smell it carefully, you won't be able to smell it." An Lingrong said as she took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve, wrapped the bead necklace, and handed it to Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, please smell it again."

Yinzhen took the Supa and put it to his nose and sniffed it carefully again. This time, he finally smelled a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance.

His eyebrows slightly frowned, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Where did I smell this fragrance before?

"Su Peisheng, call the imperial physician! Do it quietly, don't let anyone find out." Yinzhen's voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Su Peisheng had followed the emperor for many years, so he naturally understood the interests involved. He quickly lowered his voice and responded, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

After saying this, he bowed and retreated, not forgetting to gently close the door of the hall before leaving.

Yinzhen held the red chalcedony necklace in his hand and examined it carefully. The necklace was lustrous and warm to the touch. It was indeed top-quality red chalcedony. However, the faint fragrance made him feel uneasy.

He thought of An Lingrong's expression just now. There was clearly a hint of fear and uneasiness in her clear eyes. She had always been sensitive, and now she was so cautious, she must have noticed something.

"Rong'er, don't worry. I will definitely find out the truth and give you justice." Yinzhen held An Lingrong's hand and said in a firm tone.

An Lingrong nodded gently, but she was still uneasy in her heart. In the harem, every step was frightening, she did not dare to ask for too much, she just hoped that she could live in peace and keep this hard-earned love.

Soon, Su Peisheng quietly came to the outside of the palace with an elderly imperial physician. The imperial physician had white hair and beard, but was vigorous and walked with a steady pace. It was obvious that he was an experienced old imperial physician in the palace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor." The imperial physician knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

"No gift."

Yinzhen responded calmly, his eyes fell on the imperial physician, and asked, "Take a look at this necklace, is there anything wrong with it?"

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician carefully took the carnelian bead necklace handed over by Su Peisheng, put it to his nose and sniffed it carefully, then observed it carefully with a magnifying glass, and his brows gradually frowned.

The imperial physician looked solemn, and after a long while he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the fragrance of this pearl necklace is... it is musk."

"Musk?" Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's face suddenly darkened and a chilling chill emanated from his body.
