An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

At about three quarters past three, the Queen finally woke up.

The one who snatched the queen back from the hands of the King of Hell was He Anming.

The emperor rewarded him with a lot of money and even wanted to promote him.

If he had not repeatedly declined, he would have already taken the position of Right Court Judge.

Most unexpectedly, Wen Shichu was also rewarded this time. He finally got rid of his identity as a medical officer and jumped two levels to become an imperial physician again.

Ling Rong did send someone to investigate, and found out that it was Wen Shichu who volunteered to save the Queen's life during the period when He Anming was on leave and had not arrived at Jingren Palace.

If he was not so bad at using poison and detoxifying, it would not be He Anming's turn to save the Queen's life.

Ling Rong was not surprised by this result. After all, Wen Shichu's ability in his previous life was obvious to all, and his medical skills were indeed the best among the imperial doctors.

However, Wen Shichu had left the impression of being an unskilled doctor in the emperor's mind, so even though he had made great contributions, the emperor did not give him any extra rewards.

The position of imperial physician was obtained at the request of the Queen.

After the queen woke up, Lingrong also went to visit her, but she was also sick after all, so she only sat for a short while before being asked to leave by Jianqiu.

When he was about to leave, he heard that more than a dozen eunuchs had searched the Jingren Palace from top to bottom, but the poisonous snake had not been caught yet.

The bag of medicine powder that was taken away by He Anming was taken back by Ling Rong and quietly put back to its previous location by Zhao Shui.

Soon, Ding Dong from the Ministry of Punishment could no longer hold on. She confessed that she had put snake-attracting powder in the flowerpot where the orchid was grown.

Su Peisheng took Xiao Xiazi away with the powder directly, but the powder was not delivered to the emperor immediately, but to Jingren Palace instead.

At the same time, Ding Dong was also brought out from the Ministry of Punishment. She took the bag of medicine powder and personally lured the poisonous snake out of Jingren Palace.

She was not at all as scared as she was in Chengqian Palace. Instead, she was very calm. She held the snake in her hand and glanced at everyone. She looked like she wanted to throw the poisonous snake away again, which scared Su Peisheng.

It's a pity that she didn't do so. Instead, she stuffed the poisonous snake into the cage.

In the end, Gardenia was sent back to Chengqian Palace, but it was unclear where Ding Dong went.

Lingrong had not heard of her death and could not find her whereabouts.

Two days later, Su Peisheng brought news that Ding Dong had made the wrong decision to lure the snake to harm people because her master did not value her.

Now he has been beaten to death with clubs and thrown into a mass grave.

According to Su Peisheng, the Queen was bitten by a poisonous snake raised by Ding Dong.

But in fact, the matter of the queen being bitten still remained in doubt. However, Su Peisheng and his team investigated several times but could not find the source of the poisonous snake, so they could only simply put the blame on Ding Dong.

Anyway, she had already been charged with the crime of murdering a concubine, and now with the crime of murdering the queen, no one cared.

The several poisonous snakes she kept in the imperial garden had all been killed by the Imperial Household Department.

Although the incident has been settled, Lingrong still feels bad.

It’s the same story as the one about Zhen Huan’s abortion, and they’re trying to find a palace maid to take the blame.

The emperor's intervention could indeed reveal the truth, but he was better than anyone at whitewashing the truth. Although he did not love the queen, as long as he found out that it was the queen who did it, the matter would be left unresolved.

"My Lady An, the Emperor has ordered that before you give birth, you don't need to do any greetings.

In order to reassure the young lady, some realgar powder will be sprinkled throughout the palace in the next few days to prevent those snakes, insects, rats and ants from biting people randomly and making everyone in the palace panic. "

"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for taking the trouble to come all the way to Chengqian Palace." Ling Rong is indeed not feeling well now. In the mid-October weather, she has already wrapped herself in a cloak.

"Your Majesty knows that you feel wronged, but because of the busy affairs of the previous dynasty, he has not visited you for a long time."

Ling Rong sighed. The fact that she was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty was fake, but the fact that she was enjoying romantic affairs with concubines was real.

The emperor is now being coaxed into happiness by Concubine Zhen and Concubine Chun. If he and the queen had not been poisoned by snakes one after another, he would have had no intention of visiting other concubines.

"Zhen Changzai is a sweet-talking girl. If I were the emperor, I would also like her very much."

Su Peisheng laughed twice. He thought that his master cared about the emperor's favor, so he comforted him with a few more words.

"My lady only sees the favor, but forgets that the status has never changed."

Ling Rong was actually very curious. The Emperor doted on Zhen Huan so much, but he was never willing to promote her and even did not restore her previous title.

But she was still calling "Wan Wan". I really don't know what the emperor wanted to do.

"Eunuch Su is really good at comforting people." Ling Rong smiled, no longer as depressed as before, "Eunuch, please accept these few golden melon seeds."

Lingrong is receiving more and more rewards nowadays. Even if the emperor doesn't come, there are always few gifts.

Now when it comes to giving rewards, he is no longer as hesitant as he was when he first entered the palace.

Su Peisheng took the melon seeds. Just as he bowed and was about to leave, he was stopped by Ling Rong.

"By the way, I heard that the snake cage is made of broken branches.

Have you found out where the branch came from?"

Su Peisheng was stunned. When he found out that Ding Dong was the one who did it, he ignored it.

After all, the Forbidden City is so big that it is really difficult to find out which tree the branch was broken from.

"Did the young master discover anything?"

Ling Rong shook her head. She just asked Xiao Chizi to look at the trees in Chengqian Palace, and found no signs of being climbed or broken.

She always felt that the Queen wanted to put the blame on someone else for this matter, but she was retaliated by her poisonous snake and became the one lying on the couch waiting to die, so she had not had the chance to put the blame on others.

It’s a pity that Su Peisheng didn’t know either, so Ling Rong had to give up the idea of ​​taking advantage of this matter and let Su Peisheng leave.

But in Lingrong's view, the thorn in the Queen's side was just Concubine Hua who wanted to suppress her all the time.

If someone wanted to pin the blame on someone else for this incident involving the poisonous snake, I think it would definitely be Concubine Hua.

Not sure if it was a sign of good times after bad times, Lingrong asked Xiao Chizi to secretly go to the back of Yikun Palace to take a look, and they easily found the broken branch.

In fact, it doesn't take too many branches to weave a snake cage, but the Queen seemed to want to put the blame on Concubine Hua, so there were quite a lot of branches that were broken, which was more than enough to make four or five snake cages.

No wonder Ding Dong raised so many poisonous snakes, it turns out they were waiting for Concubine Hua here.

In order to prevent the Queen's hard work from going to waste, Ling Rong took the opportunity of this incident to invite Concubine Hua to Chengqian Palace.

At first, Concubine Hua was unwilling to do so. After all, how could a concubine like her lower herself to discuss matters in the palace of a mere noble lady?

Even if this noble lady is pregnant with a golden nugget, she is just the daughter of a county magistrate, not much different from a poor man.

But when Lingrong revealed that there were broken branches in Hua Fei's palace, and she was afraid that someone wanted to put the blame on her for attracting the snake, Hua Fei could no longer sit still.

She hurried to Chengqian Palace with Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai, the strong fragrance of Huanyixiang on her body had not yet faded.

Lingrong sat far away, her body covered with scent pills that neutralized musk.

"Mrs. An is really interesting. She just made up a lie to deceive me.

If it weren't for the fact that you were pregnant with a dragon heir, I would have made you kneel at the gate of Yikun Palace."

Seeing her sitting far away, Concubine Hua felt a little angry, but Ling Rong was so polite that she didn't know where to start.

"Please forgive me, Concubine Hua. I am not feeling well right now, so I am unable to come and talk to you in person."

"Enough of these useless polite words. When you were in good health, I didn't see you running to my Yikun Palace all day long."

Concubine Hua always looked down on Ling Rong, who had a poor family background and was submissive. She patiently said, "I am very busy. What exactly do you mean by the message you sent today?"

"I have learned that the snake-catching cages Ding Dong used were made from branches picked from the palace.

Unfortunately, among all the branches in the palace, only the branches in the Yikun Palace were broken."

Concubine Hua was a little panicked, but since she was not the one who did it, she was not that scared.

"Why, anyone can't break this branch. If I want, after today, all the branches of the palace will be broken."

Lingrong didn't want to use this matter to threaten Concubine Hua. It wouldn't matter even if she pulled out all the pear trees in her palace.

"It's good that your Majesty can handle it, but... does your Majesty know who did this?"

"It's just the maid in your palace." Concubine Hua couldn't help her temper when she heard An Lingrong's hesitation. "It's funny to say that the maids in Concubine An's palace all like to betray their masters.

It seems that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. Like master, like servant.

Because of a little bit of change, I can risk my life."

Although Lingrong still hated people talking about her family background, she had managed to appear not to care.

She smiled slightly, and seemed to be listening to Hua Fei's instructions very seriously.

After Concubine Hua had ridiculed her enough, she slowly spoke, "Ding Dong is just a little girl, and she has only been in Chengqian Palace for half a month.

Where did she raise snakes, and why did she climb and break the branches of the Yikun Palace?

Madam Hua Fei, you might as well think about who is behind this and wants to involve the Yikun Palace as well."

Lingrong did not hide her thoughts at all. She just wanted Concubine Hua to stop focusing on Zhen Huan and also to think that there was another person, the Queen, whom she wanted to overthrow.

"You've suffered the consequences yourself, yet you still want others to take the blame. An Lingrong, you've been in the palace for a year, and you're so useless."

"It's all right for Concubine Hua to think so, but I will avenge myself."

Ling Rong was still smiling. If she had heard these words when she was just reborn, she would have been even more angry, "I might as well be more straightforward. The person behind the scenes wants to frame the poisonous snake incident on your Majesty.

The trees behind the Yikun Palace were broken by someone, and even a humble concubine like me knew about it, so who else wouldn't know about it?"

Concubine Hua narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that it was Su Peisheng who investigated the case. It didn't matter if others knew it, but if the emperor thought so too, then wouldn't she be suspected by the emperor?

Moreover, Su Peisheng did come to Chengqian Palace some time ago. Could it be that it was Su Peisheng who told An Lingrong about the matter of the tree branches behind Yikun Palace?

It was not something I did, but I still had to take the risk of being disliked by the emperor. How could such a unfortunate thing happen in this world?

"But the Emperor has always doted on you, so it's just a small matter for you." Ling Rong saw that Hua Fei didn't say anything, so she spoke first to comfort him, "I said these nonsense, which made you worry. I shouldn't have done that."

"You shouldn't have done that. When you are pregnant, go to Yikun Palace and receive your punishment."

Concubine Hua refused to suffer any loss. She stood up and glared at An Lingrong coldly.

"I didn't do this, so I can naturally clear myself of the charges. You are spreading rumors here, which shows that you have ulterior motives.

I am the most favored by the Emperor, I am afraid I will disappoint you."

Lingrong was not surprised at all when Concubine Hua said this. She stroked her belly and spoke casually, "I don't know what kind of underworld I offended before, which made the emperor so poor. Now I know that it was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.

Lady Hua, this may seem like a trivial matter of climbing and breaking a branch, but many things in the palace start from these trivial matters. "

Hua Fei slowed down her pace. The palace had been suffering from a lack of offspring for a long time. But this child died one after another. Which emperor's harem would be like this?

The old woman, the Queen, wants to pin the crime of murdering the royal heir on me. She really has a good plan.

If the emperor is suspicious, he would suspect that the successive deaths of children are related to him.

Concubine Hua's face became serious. She stood at the door and turned to look at An Lingrong who was sitting steadily.

"Have you figured it out, Madam?"

"An Lingrong, I underestimated you in the past. It seems that you already know who did this."

At this time, Zhaoshui and others were not waiting by her side, so Lingrong could only stand up carefully and walk slowly to the door, intending to see Concubine Hua off, "Your Majesty also knows that in this matter, I was the victim, and it was Your Majesty who was almost framed.

Not only could it cause my pregnancy to abort, but it could also shake the status of the queen. If that person hadn’t met with an accident, the queen would have been in the same situation as me.”

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying something extra. Some things don't necessarily have to be done in the harem to be accomplished." Lingrong made a gesture of invitation. Concubine Hua looked at her deeply and finally stepped out.

There are three unfilial acts: having no descendants, and the worst one is having few offspring and the empress is immoral.

Regardless of whether this man-made disaster was caused by the Queen or not, it was now certain that the Emperor would have no children.

The queen has been sitting on the throne for quite a long time. If everyone in the previous dynasty knew that the queen had misbehaved, I'm sure the throne would have to be moved.

Concubine Hua led a group of people out of Chengqian Palace. She turned around and took another look at the plaque of the palace.

“She does have some brains, but as a noble she is still no match for a mere maid.

I'm pregnant and I didn't even get a title, so I'm nothing but a waste."

Ling Rong naturally had no idea what Hua Fei said to her. At this moment, her mind was filled with the thought that it was a good thing that Hua Fei, this big Buddha, had been sent away, and she finally had time to catch her breath.

But there is still the hurdle of the Queen Mother to overcome. Being suddenly targeted by the Queen Mother may not necessarily be a good thing.

As people grow old, they become more cunning. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager has guessed that I was the one who was taking revenge on the Empress and lured the snake to Jingren Palace.

Could this Chunxi Palace be a real den of dragons and tigers?
