An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Yu Ying'er is not very knowledgeable after all, and even her looks cannot compare to Fu Changzai's.

Therefore, the emperor was only interested in Yu Ying'er for a few days before he felt that she was too flamboyant and not worthy of his favor.

Although Yu Ying'er had fallen out of favor, her temper had not changed at all and she often bullied Liu Zhu.

At first, they just picked some flowers in the cold winter, but later they got more extreme and insisted on planting some peonies when it snowed.

He also said that he wanted to give it to Concubine Hua, and asked her to grow the Liuzhu within half a month at the latest.

But now is not the right season to grow peonies. It would be fine if Yu Ying'er allowed Liuzhu to plant it in the warm room, but she had to plant it on a snowy day.

Liu Zhu's hands were already covered with frostbite, but she still had to dig the soil in the garden and bury the peony roots in the soil.

In order to make the root sprout, Liu Zhu secretly got some branches wet by snow and lit them, trying to raise the temperature so that the root could sprout and take root.

But this was simply impossible to achieve. Apart from her eyes being almost blinded by the thick smoke, she gained nothing.

Because of Yu Ying'er's increasingly outrageous behavior, Xin Changzai often stood up for Liu Zhu.

But although she taught Yu Ying'er a lesson, it was of no use. Yu Ying'er even became worse and deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone in front of Xin Changzai, saying that Liu Zhu was a disloyal servant who was thinking about her old master all day long.

Xin Changzai originally felt sorry for Liu Zhu, but after hearing about the things she did under the name of Concubine Tian, ​​she couldn't help but feel that Liu Zhu's behavior was annoying.

On the one hand, he shouted that he was loyal to his old master and wanted to find a way to rescue his master. On the other hand, he bullied the palace people in the name of his new master.

"I really don't understand what Liu Zhu wants to do."

Xin Chang was sipping the tea in her hand. She was straightforward by nature and would not hide anything when chatting privately. She would say whatever she thought.

Concubine Duan felt that Liuzhu had done nothing wrong and was firmly loyal to one person. It was not easy to find such a servant.

"She was just loyal to the original owner. Whether she went to Noble Lady Tian or to Lady Yu, it was not out of her heart.

The fact that she is loyal to Zhen Changzai is very rare in this palace."

Xin Changzai agreed with this point. After all, who doesn't want to have such a loyal servant?

“It’s just that we, as masters, are of course afraid that someone will use our names to do something wrong.

It would be fine if it got to the Queen's ears, but it would be terrible if it got to the Emperor or the Queen Mother's ears."

Concubine Duan also knew that Concubine Xin's worries were not unreasonable. Although she still liked Liu Zhu's loyalty, it would be better for her to follow Concubine Xin's wishes at this time.

After all, she had just come back to life, so it was most important for her to win over a few capable concubines. Now that she was in Chuxiu Palace, Xin Changzai was naturally the best choice.

"Your worries are not without reason. Fortunately, Liu Zhu is not in our palace, otherwise I would have to watch over him every day."

Seeing that Concubine Duan agreed with her idea, Xin Changzai couldn't help but talk more, "I heard that Liu Zhu has been trying to find a way to rescue Zhen Changzai, but Zhen Changzai has committed more than just framing concubines and murdering the heir to the throne.

She was guilty of deceiving the emperor, and the emperor showed mercy by not banishing her to the cold palace or even ordering her to be executed.

I really don’t know what means she has to rescue Zhen Changzai.”

Concubine Duan naturally knew that Liu Zhu wanted to use the exposure of Concubine Hua's bribery to offset Zhen Changzai's merits and demerits and successfully escape from Baohua Palace.

But Zhen Changzai cannot bring up this matter herself. The best option is for her father Zhen Yuandao to do it.

The credit of revealing the web of interests behind the annual election is very tempting.

Even if his daughter Zhen Yuandao committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, she could still seek forgiveness from the emperor.

"It may just be Liu Zhu's wishful thinking. But compared to this, I am more curious about how you knew that Liu Zhu wanted to rescue Zhen Changzai."

Xin Changzai didn't take it seriously. She held the teacup still and actually started to recall where she had heard these words.

"I remember hearing two maids say this in the Imperial Garden.

Hmm... Yu Guan's daughter also said that, and what she said was well-founded and didn't seem to be false."

Fortunately, Liu Zhu did not tell anyone about what he had done to help her.

Concubine Duan's eyes were dark. Zhen Huan really didn't mind lending a hand, but if it threatened her own interests, she could only let her continue to chant scriptures and pray in Baohua Hall.

"In the Imperial Garden? Maybe someone is spreading rumors behind the scenes. I just don't know if the rumor was spread by Yu Guan's daughter or someone else."

Xin Changzai felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, and when she talked about it with Concubine Duan, it was just a casual chat.

But Concubine Duan seemed to be particularly concerned. Could it be that she had some kind of friendship with Zhen Huan?

“But this is not a big deal. If someone hears it, they will think Liu Zhu is fanciful at best.

If I meet a few brave ones, they will just laugh at Liu Zhu. "

Concubine Duan shook her head and said, "Liu Zhu is now a subordinate of Yu Guan Nv, and Yu Guan Nv is from our Chu Xiu Palace."

"So what? Yu Ying'er is busy going to Yikun Palace all day, and I can't even see her.

It would be fine if she didn't respect me, your Highness, but she doesn't even have the slightest respect for you, Your Majesty.

In my opinion, she should be taught a lesson."

Concubine Xin was just watching the fun. The emperor finally came to her palace, but Yu Ying'er kept singing Kunqu Opera and seduced the emperor away.

Although Xin Changzai's position was low, she would not tolerate a government girl.

Otherwise, she would be laughed at by all the concubines in the palace, and she, Lu Yingfeng, could not afford to lose face like this.

"She didn't do anything wrong. Even if I wanted to teach her a lesson, I can't find a reason."

"Why do we need a reason? If she is disrespectful to the mistress, just ask her to copy the palace rules dozens of times in the palace.

Otherwise, you will walk around in the cold wind and have your good voice blown hoarse by the north wind. "

Xin Changzai's words were always so interesting that Concubine Duan couldn't help but laugh at her, "I know you feel wronged, so I will have to discipline her in a few days.

Now she is not a proper master yet, but a court lady. The emperor takes pity on her and lets her live in Chuxiu Palace, and also grants her a palace maid to serve her.

Concubine Hua originally looked down upon such a person, who was just taking advantage of living in Chuxiu Palace."

"Your Majesty, are you saying that... Noble Concubine Hua wants to extend her hand to our Chuxiu Palace?"

Concubine Duan nodded. She coughed softly and her cheeks were pale, making her look particularly sick.

"She came here for me," Concubine Duan finally stopped coughing. She patted her chest gently and finally felt a little better. "You should be careful when you pay your respects these days. Don't let her see that you and I are on good terms now."

Xin Changzai didn't care. With her status and favor, she wouldn't be seen as a thorn in the eyes of Concubine Hua.

Moreover, Concubine Hua is pregnant now, while she is not. Could it be that she wants to use porcelain to touch a broken clay pot like hers? Then Concubine Hua will definitely suffer.

"I am Princess Shuhe's mother after all. Even if Concubine Hua wants to find someone to attack, she won't do it to me."

"Don't forget that Concubine Cao is Princess Wen Yi's mother."

Concubine Duan originally intended to make Concubine Xin afraid of Concubine Hua so that she would stand more firmly by her side and become her helper.

Thinking of how Concubine Hua had snatched Princess Wen Yi away and recorded her in the imperial genealogy as her daughter, Concubine Xin felt a pang of fear.

Although Shuhe lived in the prince's residence, she was still his daughter after all, so he could still see her occasionally and live with her for a while.

But Concubine Cao can no longer be close to her daughter, after all, Wen Yi’s current mother is Concubine Hua.

"Empress Hua also believed the saying that holding a child will give birth to a child," Xin Changzai said with a sneer, "I never thought that she actually prayed for a child.

Maybe there is something to what the ancients said.”

"Yeah."

Concubine Duan nodded meaningfully. She glanced at Concubine Xin and felt it was a pity that her body was ruined by Nian Shilan. Otherwise, it would not be impossible to try out whether what the ancients said was true.

As soon as Concubine Duan had this idea, Wen Shichu asked someone to inform her.

"It's time to take your Majesty's pulse. I won't bother you any more." Concubine Xin walked very quickly. Concubine Duan looked at her back, and the thoughts that popped up in her mind couldn't stop growing wildly.

"Wei Chen pays his respects to the empress."

Not long after, Wen Shichu walked in. Concubine Duan omitted all the formalities and stretched out her wrist for him to take her pulse.

"Doctor Wen, I have drunk countless bowls of this medicine, but I still feel very tired and weak."

Wen Shichu felt Concubine Duan's pulse. He knew the reason for her condition. It was simply that the Emperor did not want her to get better.

But Sister Huan sent a message asking her to give Concubine Hui's prescription to Concubine Duan.

It was a perfect recipe for aiding pregnancy, but Concubine Duan had drunk safflower in her earlier years, so her health was a little poor.

But if I just drank safflower, it would be fine. After using it for a period of time, I could restore Concubine Duan's health.

It’s a pity that Concubine Duan had been abused by Concubine Hua for a long time, and her body had long been hollowed out.

In addition, the Emperor deliberately delayed the process, so even with Sister Huan's prescription, there was no possibility of pregnancy at all.

"The queen suffered a lot in her early years. Even with good medicine now, she can only recover bit by bit."

Concubine Duan sighed with a sense of loss. She had just begun to think about getting pregnant like Concubine Hua, but her thoughts were extinguished by Wen Shichu's words.

"Then just follow Doctor Wen's advice and take care of the baby slowly."

It's a good thing that Concubine Duan doesn't worry about it, but if there is no effect for a long time, it will arouse her suspicion.

Therefore, Wen Shichu would occasionally go against the emperor's wishes and prescribe some food supplement recipes.

In this way, Concubine Duan will feel more comfortable physically.

"By the way, I heard that Liu Zhu came to Chuxiu Palace. Does Your Majesty know her current situation?"

Wen Shichu took out a prescription from the medicine box and handed it to Concubine Duan while taking her pulse.

Concubine Duan didn't know what that thing was, but she still held it in her palm calmly.

“Now that Liu Zhu is following Yu Guan’s daughter, she… can’t be considered good.

This palace knows that Liuzhu is the maidservant brought from home by Sister Zhen, and I am most concerned about her.

After a few days, the Japanese palace thought of some way to bring Liu Zhu to his side.

If I can't bring her with me, I will stop her from suffering."

"Zhen Changzai is indeed worried about Liu Zhu. Even though she is in Baohua Palace, she often asks Tang Di to find a way to send something to Liu Zhu.

Your Majesty cares so much about Concubine Zhen. If she could leave Baohua Palace at this moment, I'm afraid she would send all the precious medicinal herbs to your Majesty."

Wen Shichu had other intentions in mind, and when he heard that Liu Zhu was now in Chuxiu Palace, he did not continue to ask.

He followed Concubine Duan's words and brought up Zhen Huan, intending to tell Concubine Duan that the prescription that had just been secretly handed over was sent by Concubine Zhen.

"Your Majesty's pulse is weak now. It seems that a combination of medicine and food supplements will have a better effect."

Concubine Duan understood what Wen Shichu meant, she smiled slightly, "Only those who can endure loneliness can accomplish great things.

Zhen Chang's current difficulties are nothing more than preparations for his future soaring success."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

After Wen Shichu finished taking the patient's pulse, he took his leave with Wei Lin who had followed him.

Wei Lin seemed to have no interest in the quiz between the two of them. He was more concerned about Concubine Duan's pulse.

Along the way, the two discussed the symptoms corresponding to the pulse, and then each wrote a prescription to see which prescription was more effective.

“It’s a pity that these prescriptions cannot be given to Concubine Duan. I can only prescribe some insignificant prescriptions for health preservation.

You said, Concubine Duan really won't doubt it?"

"Yes." Wen Shichu was very sure, but their masters would not allow it, so what could they do even if they were kind-hearted?

The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau are not allowed to have any compassionate heart.

"It seems that being an imperial physician isn't that good after all."

Wei Lin was not as disappointed as Wen Shichu. He was good at scheming and naturally thought it was best to do things according to his master's wishes.

But Wen Shichu always had some unrealistic ideas. Now that he was his "disciple", he naturally had to have the same attitude as his master.

"You have only been in the palace for a short time, and there are still many such things."

Wen Shichu patted Wei Lin's shoulder, wondering how he could make Concubine Duan appear to be in better shape while still being in a state of ruin on the inside.

The emperor's request is really strange. Concubine Duan seems to have a gentle personality, so why does the emperor not want the imperial physician to cure her?

"What's wrong with your expression?"

"There is indeed a difficult problem, and I haven't thought of a good solution yet."

Concerning the matter of Concubine Duan, all the imperial physicians in charge of her care knew the situation.

Therefore, Wen Shichu did not hide anything and told the emperor everything he was thinking.

"You obviously have a way, but you just don't want to use it."

Wei Lin shook his head slightly, and he and Wen Shichu both sighed at the same time.

It is very simple to realize the emperor's idea. All he needs to do is use some powerful tonic medicine to make Concubine Duan recover on the surface and return to normal inside.

However, most doctors are unwilling to use this method. No wonder Wen Shichu, an old-fashioned man, has been hesitant and has not taken any action.

"If there is really no other way, poison can be used."
