An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 119: Retaliation is inevitable
Because Wen Yi was taken to Yiku Palace, the emperor occasionally visited Concubine Hua a few times.
But just like in his previous life, Wen Yi often cried at night because he was separated from his biological mother and was indeed sick. Even with a wet nurse by his side, it was of no use.
Batch after batch of imperial doctors came to the Yikun Palace, but none of them could help the princess to sleep peacefully.
Concubine Hua was so annoyed by the noise that she fed Wen Yi her own calming soup.
After being fed the calming soup, Wen Yi really stopped making noises and often slept until dawn.
The emperor really believed that Concubine Hua had a kind heart, so he tacitly agreed to let Wen Yi continue to be raised in Yikun Palace.
He completely forgot that there was Huanyi incense burning in Yikun Palace, and the musk in it could not only affect Concubine Hua, but also his daughter Wen Yi.
Zhaoshui told Lingrong all the things he had found out, and was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Concubine Hua fed the child calming soup.
"My lady, the tranquilizing soup is not suitable for children. Concubine Hua is a little cruel."
"She has never raised a child and doesn't understand the properties of medicine. Maybe she thinks that if the tranquilizer works for her, then it can also work for her child."
These things had happened in her previous life, so Ling Rong was not too surprised. She flipped through the book in her hand and even answered casually.
"The tranquilizing medicine contains a large amount of cinnabar, so it cannot be used carelessly. Even this servant knows this."
Zhaoshui was pricking the acupuncture points on his hand with silver needles. When he heard the young lady say that Concubine Hua didn't understand the properties of the medicine, he immediately stopped and said, "I hope the princess is not in serious trouble."
"You really like children."
"I do like children very much," Zhaoshui took off the needles on her hands and put them away, "so the young master will be left to my care in the future. I will definitely not let her be bullied like this."
"If you want her to not be bullied, you alone are not enough." Lingrong thought of Cao Qinmo again. She did all kinds of bad things in order to climb up the social ladder, but in the end she died of an acute illness for no apparent reason.
"Look at Concubine Cao and you will understand."
In the final analysis, one still has to be favored, otherwise even if a prince is born, he can only be sent to the Nansanso to be raised.
It is not enough to just have a higher position, otherwise she would be like Concubine Qi, without any real power in the palace, and even less than Shen Meizhuang, who was still a noble lady.
Ling Rong was unwilling to use the skills she had learned in bed in her previous life to win the emperor's favor, because she considered that if she was treated as a plaything again, even if she gave birth to a prince in the future, the emperor would not pay attention to her.
How could she be willing to be just a concubine? After all, not all of the emperor's heirs were geniuses.
As long as the emperor is still alive, she has the opportunity to push her child to that position, even if her family cannot provide any support now.
But wouldn’t it be better if we were more ruthless and left the emperor with no choice?
Ling Rong put down the book in her hand and rubbed her sore shoulders slowly.
In this life, she did not do everything personally like in her previous life. Even though Zhen Huan is now in the situation of reflecting in Baohua Palace, almost no one knows that it was her who was behind it.
"How is Zhen Chang doing over there now?"
"I bribed Tang Di, who was in charge of sweeping the Baohua Palace. According to her, Zhen Changzai is now concentrating on copying Buddhist scriptures and sending Buddhist offerings every day. She did not even make a fuss when her cotton-padded clothes and charcoal were withheld.
It's just that Huanbi has a bad temper and often quarrels with Tangdi and other young palace maids."
This Huanbi is truly a person of pride, Lingrong thought silently, it seems that these twenty strokes of the cane did not teach her a lesson.
"Huanbi doesn't want to do many small things, so she asks the maids in Baohua Palace to do them. Tangdi, who was originally responsible for sweeping the floor, sometimes has to serve tea and water to her and her servant."
This is a strange thing. Ling Rong became interested. After all, Zhen Huan and Huan Bi were ordered by the Emperor to reflect on their mistakes in Baohua Palace. How could they have the power to act tyrannically in Baohua Palace?
"Tang Di didn't want to follow Zhen Changzai's orders, but Zhen Changzai still used her position to pressure her.
She was worried that Zhen Chang would take revenge after leaving Baohua Palace, so she had no choice but to obey their orders. "
It seems that this girl is not stupid. She knows that as long as Zhen Huan still retains her position, it is possible for her to regain her former honor.
It’s just that Zhen Changzai may be kind to the servants, but Huanbi by her side may not be the same.
Even the chief eunuch of Yongshou Palace would be ordered around by Huanbi, let alone her being just a humble palace maid with no background.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy for Zhen Chang to serve this master."
"It would be fine if she only served Zhen Chang, but Tang Di even has to serve Huan Bi.
Zhen Changzai didn't care about Huanbi's back injury and let Huanbi ask these young palace maids to serve her like a master. "
This has always been Huanbi's personality. In her previous life, when she gave clothes to Zhen Huan, she showed the idea of being the master.
But now she has incurred the emperor's dislike, and it is impossible for her to become the emperor's concubine, unless... an opportunity is created for her.
But there is no rush. The most urgent task is to teach her and her good sister Zhen Huan a little lesson.
"She must still think she is a favorite of the concubine, so she dares to arrogantly bully the palace maids.
But in front of the Buddha, how could she be allowed to make such a noise? "
This Huanbi has a good appearance, but her personality is not so good, especially her mouth. The way she speaks makes people want to poison her.
A few days ago, Ling Rong remembered the medicine that ruined her throat in her previous life. She had searched for a long time and finally got the prescription.
Taking advantage of the convenience of often needing to see the imperial physician, she got this medicine. Now it would be a good idea to find a way to secretly give it to Zhen Huan and her servant.
After all, she is a vengeful person. Since she can't just kill them, it would be a good idea to learn from Concubine Tian and use some small tricks of revenge.
But she didn't expect that Concubine Tian had also prepared some "surprises" for Concubine Zhen without her knowing.
"My lady, do you want Huanbi to learn to shut up?"
"You are smart and understand my thoughts." Lingrong took a packet of powder from her dressing box and handed it to Zhaoshui. "It would be better to tell her to be quiet, otherwise she will annoy others and suffer more."
Zhaoshui put the powder into her sleeves. She never commented on whether Lingrong's counterattacks or means of harming others were right or wrong.
She was just an uneducated maid, and once she chose a master, she decided to follow her forever.
"I will give Miss Huanbi a good "admonition."
The two of them reached an agreement quickly, and Zhaoshui delivered the powder to Tangdi that night.
Tang Di was already dissatisfied with the two domineering master and servant, so that night he put the medicine into the tea they drank.
After she went to serve the tea, a figure quietly came over and sprinkled a packet of medicine powder into the water tank.
At noon the next day, Lingrong learned the news about Baohua Palace.
Last night, despite the cold weather, Zhen Huan asked the palace maids to boil hot water for her to take a bath. That night, her body became extremely itchy and she couldn't sleep well the whole night.
I heard that she scratched the whole night, but the itching was not relieved. Instead, she scratched her body and left bloody marks.
It was a truly horrifying sight. Zhen Huan burst into tears when she saw her own appearance in the mirror.
When she called Huanbi, she found that there was something wrong with her throat and her soft voice disappeared.
But she felt dizzy and her forehead was hot, so Zhen Huan just thought that she caught a cold from taking a bath last night and did not expect that she had been drugged.
It wasn't until Huanbi came over and had the same problem with her throat that she realized something was wrong.
"Huanbi... why are our voices so hoarse?"
Huanbi coughed twice quickly, and her face was abnormally flushed, the symptoms were very similar to those of a cold.
She touched her own cheeks and forehead, and also touched Zhen Huan's. "My lady, it must be because of the bath last night. The weather was so cold, and you still wanted to bathe. You are so petty."
"I've been exposed to the scent of sandalwood in this temple all day long. I feel like my whole body stinks."
Zhen Huan has never really believed in these Buddhas and Arhats. On the contrary, she believes more in the fact that man can conquer nature.
Therefore, she was very opposed to reciting scriptures in the Buddhist temple. Since the first day she entered the Baohua Palace, she had been thinking about how to ask the emperor to let her go.
Now that she has still retained her position, it proves that the emperor still has feelings for her. However, her fault in the matter of Shen Meizhuang was too serious. If she does not punish him, it will obviously not convince the public.
After the storm has passed, I will ask Chun'er to think of a way to lure the emperor to the Baohua Palace. As long as good things can be accomplished, it will be easy to get out.
Originally, the person who would be best at pleading for me would be Sister Mei, but the two of them have broken up now and can never go back to the way they were before.
"There is not much charcoal fire in the Baohua Hall, only these incense sticks for the clay sculptures and wooden carvings."
Zhen Huan was shivering from the cold, but the two of them had no more cotton-padded clothes to wear, so they could only wrap themselves in the quilt to keep out the cold.
But Zhen Huan's whole body was itchy at this time, but she couldn't help shaking off the quilt and scratching her body.
"My lady, please be patient." Huanbi shook the quilt that had fallen to the ground and put it on Zhen Huan again. "If you continue to scratch, I'm afraid you will be left with scars on your body."
Upon hearing that it would leave scars, Zhen Huan stopped immediately. But the itchiness on her body could not be relieved by just enduring it.
Soon, she began to scratch herself again, leaving red marks on her neck.
"My lady!" Huanbi shouted hoarsely, grabbing Zhen Huan's wrist to stop her from scratching. "My lady, if your appearance is really damaged because of this, I'm afraid that you and I will be trapped in this Baohua Palace for the rest of our lives."
Zhen Huan nodded her head, trying to ignore the itchiness on her body, and urged Huanbi to find the imperial physician, "Huanbi, find a way to get Imperial Physician Wen. My whole body is itchy and I don't know if I have a disease or if someone has set me up."
Although Huanbi knew that this matter was urgent, the young lady was confined to Baohua Palace after all, and it would not be easy to find an imperial physician to see a doctor.
"My lady...I cannot leave this Baohua Palace."
"Although you and I are under house arrest, the rest of us can go out. Tell Tang Di to go find Doctor Wen.
Even if Doctor Wen can't come, he can tell him the symptoms, and Tang Di can bring back some medicine."
Huanbi finally reacted and hurried out to ask Tangdi to run errands.
"Tangdi! Tangdi!" Huanbi shouted in a hoarse voice. Her tone was really bad. Even though Tangdi heard it, she was unwilling to go out immediately.
After Huanbi called for a long time, she slowly walked over with a broom in her hand.
At this time, Huanbi was extremely angry. Without waiting for Tangdi to speak, she slapped him, leaving a bright red palm print on Tangdi's face.
Tang Di only felt a burning pain on her face. She didn't dare to cry out in pain. She could only cover her cheeks and try hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.
"I told you to come for such a long time, but you still didn't come. What on earth are you slacking off about?" Huanbi's eyes widened with anger, and she slapped Tangdi again with her backhand, "The young master has given instructions, and you dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb and neglect them. Even if I slap you twice, it will not be enough.
Why are you still talking like a mute? "
"I, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, my lady. Please forgive me, Miss Huanbi." Tang Di's eyes were filled with tears. She was afraid and worried, fearing that Huanbi would slap her again.
"I'll spare you this time," Huanbi rubbed her aching wrist and instructed Tangdi to go find the imperial physician, "Remember to find Imperial Physician Wen Shichu. The young lady's body is extremely itchy. Ask Imperial Physician Wen to prescribe some medicine."
"The servant knows."
Tang Di didn't dare to delay. She put the broom aside, covered her cheek and ran out of Baohua Hall.
Just as she walked a short distance, she could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart and burst into tears in a corner.
She didn't know how long Zhen Changzai and Huanbi would keep her locked up in Baohua Palace, but she had been tortured beyond recognition in the past few days. If it lasted any longer, she would probably be beaten to death by Huanbi.
"Which palace are you from? Why are you crying here?"
Suddenly someone said something caring, which startled Tang Di. She stopped crying and looked at the person in front of her.
"I'm the maid in charge of sweeping the Baohua Palace," Tang Di quickly stood up. She patted her dress, fearing that this person would laugh at her. "I just thought of some sad things and lost my composure just now..."
The man handed over a plain handkerchief and whispered to Tang Di, "You must have suffered a great injustice, otherwise why would you be so sad here?"
Tang Di just nodded. She didn't dare to say anything bad about Zhen Changzai in public, so she had to keep her mouth shut. "Thank you for your concern, eunuch. I still have things to do, so I won't talk to you any more."
Tang Di bowed his head, thanked him, and ran away quickly.
The eunuch was still standing there looking at Tang Di. He frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was someone living in Baohua Palace now. It was Zhen Changzai, who framed Concubine Hui for being pregnant with a ghost fetus.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yunzi looked around and didn't see anyone else. "Don't forget, we still have to register the numbers of the new silverware."
"I see. You've only been here for a few days, but you've figured out the rules." Xiao Chengzi followed Xiao Yunzi's steps, "What kind of person do you think Zhen Changzai is?"
"She is a lady who treats the palace ladies well and is very generous," Xiao Yunzi still has a high opinion of Zhen Huan. "Why did you suddenly mention Zhen Changzai?"
"Hmm... I just saw a maid from Baohua Palace crying here. There were two bloody slap marks on her face. I don't know who hit her."
"...Mrs. Zhen has indeed changed a lot."
