An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Ling Rong was very surprised when Xiao Xiazi suddenly came to her house. After all, with the emperor's temper, if he really wanted someone to care about him, it would be Su Peisheng.

Moreover, after Xiao Xiazi expressed his concern, he asked about Fu Changzai in a roundabout way, and she knew that Fu Changzai's drugging had been discovered.

But looking at Xiao Xiazi's attitude, the things he did were not discovered, but were firmly pinned on Fu Changzai.

Ling Rong pretended to be ignorant and made up an excuse that Fu Chang was concerned about her nightmare and came to visit her.

Xiao Xiazi did not tell Lingrong his intention directly, but told Zhaoshui in private.

After all, this matter is not a big deal or a small one. In case you are really accused of spreading rumors, it is better to be prepared.

"The Emperor is worried about the young lady's unborn baby, so he told me not to speak directly, but this is not a small matter."

Xiao Xiazi looked around and saw that no one was walking around before he spoke with confidence, "I'm worried that Miss An might be targeted by the people above."

"I understand, but no matter what, the young lady must be informed of this." Zhao Shui looked around carefully like Xiao Xiazi. As usual, she gave Xiao Xiazi a thank-you gift, "This is from the young lady. Thank you for your hard work, eunuch Xia."

"Of course not." Xiao Xiazi never refused rewards, he put it neatly into his sleeves, "I can't stay any longer, I will go and reply to the emperor now."

"Okay." Zhaoshui nodded. "Let me ask one more question. Who are the people in Chuxiu Palace now?"

"The Empress, Concubine Duan, Fu Changzai, and Liu Zhu." Xiao Xiazi said the names one by one, even Liu Zhu who testified was not spared.

When Zhaoshui heard that Liu Zhu was among the witnesses, she immediately became alert. She thanked Xiao Xiazi again and hurried back to the hall.

Lingrong's belly was getting bigger and bigger. In order to keep the baby, she had to use mugwort to fumigate all day long. As a result, the whole hall was filled with the smell of mugwort, which made her addicted to it.

Fortunately, she could open the window slightly every day to get some fresh air, otherwise she would have suffocated to death in Chengqian Palace.

"My lady, Xiao Xiazi said that Liu Zhu was also in Chuxiu Palace. She is the most important witness, proving that Bao Yuan poisoned Concubine Duan."

Hearing the name Liu Zhu, Ling Rong was a little surprised. After all, she was now in Yu Ying'er's palace, doing laundry or being bullied all day long, and she actually had time to go to Concubine Duan to serve as a witness.

I’m afraid that her testimony may not be genuine.

"Xiao Xiazi is quite clever. He told me exactly what happened in Chuxiu Palace just now."

Ling Rong knew that this little guy also wanted to sell her out, just like his master Su Peisheng, leaving himself countless ways out.

"Concubine Duan is very careful and must have known long ago that Fu Changzai was the one who caused her nightmares all night. I don't know how long she has been setting up this trap today, just waiting for her to fall into it."

No wonder the emperor sent someone to ask him about Fu Changzai's visit. It seems that Concubine Duan had already calculated all these things.

After all, Fu Changzai often went to the Queen's palace in the past, but she came to her own palace twice this month.

In this case, it is not surprising that Concubine Duan used this matter to drag herself into trouble.

"What about Liu Zhu?"

"Zhen Changzai and Concubine Duan already have a close relationship. Liu Zhu has now gone to Chuxiu Palace. If Concubine Duan takes care of her a little, it will be easy for her to sincerely help."

Zhaoshui understood a little bit now, "My lord, what you mean is that Liuzhu might have been waiting for you."

"That's right. Of course, it's also possible that Concubine Duan taught Liu Zhu to say this after the incident.

But... I was wondering if that Zhen Changzai was involved in this."

No matter how low Zhen Huan fell, Ling Rong would never forget her existence. She would ask Zhao Shui and Tang Di to check what Zhen Huan was doing in Baohua Palace from time to time.

It's just that Zhen Huan can't leave Baohua Palace, and the things she does are just boring daily chores. Occasionally, the emperor will stay overnight, but he will not let Zhen Huan out.

"I have always been in contact with Tang Di, but Concubine Zhen has never had the opportunity to come into contact with Liu Zhu."

"If the two people have not come into contact, I'm afraid Liu Zhu and Concubine Duan are planning something."

Lingrong couldn't help but guess the secret between the two. Liuzhu's idea was simple, she just wanted to rescue Zhen Huan.

This Concubine Duan...what is she planning?

"Why don't I find someone to contact Liu Zhu privately? Maybe I can get some information from her."

Ling Rong nodded. Although she didn't believe Liu Zhu would tell the secret to others, she still held a glimmer of hope, hoping to find out some news.

"Then think of some way, even if it's just a little bit of information."

Lingrong was involved in the poisoning of Concubine Duan, and she did not sleep well that night.

Fortunately, by the time of dinner the next day, everyone in the palace had already known about the emperor's punishment of Concubine Duan and Concubine Fu.

These two people were punished to be put in solitary confinement for a month. I was about to give birth at that time, so I didn't have to worry about these two people having the chance to attack me when I was giving birth.

The person who hates to see people having children the most in the palace is the Queen, so the most important thing is to keep a close eye on her.

However, Fu Changzai's child was lost without any clear reason. I'm afraid the Queen will be bored in the palace and laugh for several days.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lingrong began to prepare people and materials for production.

Although Aunt Fang Jing was a good midwife, she alone was not enough. We needed to find two more in case of emergency.

However, she had no family to rely on, and it was even more dangerous to rashly go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for help - after all, no one knew who the midwife sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs belonged to.

Ling Rong initially wondered whether she should ask Xia Dongchun or Concubine Tian for help.

However, although these two people have a good relationship with me on the surface, they are still the Queen's people after all. At this time, I really don't dare to trust them completely.

"Ah - giving birth to a child is really not an easy thing." Lingrong half leaned on the bed, holding the embroidered bellyband, and couldn't help sighing repeatedly.

Zhaoshui also knew what Lingrong was worried about, but unfortunately she was alone, so even if she wanted to help, she was powerless.

"My lady, why don't you go find the emperor and ask for help?"

Lingrong shook her head. Subconsciously, she didn't want to ask the emperor for help, but after thinking about everyone, she suddenly realized that the emperor was the only one she could trust.

"The emperor is busy, so I dare not disturb him directly." In Lingrong's memory, her father had never done anything for her.

I heard that on the day my mother gave birth, my father was still lingering around other women.

The emperor is also such a person. Even if he is willing to wait at the door for the birth, he may not be willing to do these little things for himself.

Maybe the emperor still thinks that his harem is harmonious and won't resort to such despicable means. Maybe he even thinks that his little thoughts are too dark and feels annoyed.

"My lord, even if you don't want to disturb me, you still have to disturb me."

Zhaoshui had no idea of ​​the awkwardness in Lingrong's heart. She had only one thought, which was to ensure that the young lady could give birth smoothly.

"Even if the emperor is annoyed, it is only a temporary matter. Forgive me for being presumptuous... Even if it is a matter of a lifetime, what does it matter? The young lady has a child by her side."

Zhaoshui spoke cautiously. She glanced at Lingrong's face, worried that she would really be angry because of this presumptuous remark.

Ling Rong laughed instead, she put down the bellyband and looked at Zhao Shui, "You are right, there is no loss even if the emperor refuses.

After all, the emperor has sent Fanglin and Fanghua, so it is not impossible for him to send two more midwives."

"The young lady has finally figured it out." Zhaoshui smiled happily. She bit off the thread in her hand and finally finished embroidering the small dress in her hand.

"I can't really say I've figured it out, but... there's really no other way."

Lingrong did not have any expectations of the emperor. After all, Cao Qinmo's child was given to Concubine Hua by his order. Putting herself in his shoes, Lingrong could only feel extremely terrified.

If her own child was taken away in this way, she would be like Cao Qinmo, without any power to resist.

Fortunately, the Emperor also knew about Lingrong's situation, especially since he had just seen Fu Changzai lose her child. Naturally, he was willing to prepare a midwife for Lingrong so that she could give birth with peace of mind.

The emperor even came to Chengqian Palace to accompany her for several days in a row, and only went to the queen's palace according to etiquette on the fifteenth day.

However, Lingrong did not feel safe even with the emperor by her side. After all, as the king of a country, she could only confine herself to accompanying a pregnant concubine, and she was afraid that the empress dowager would soon find her and cause trouble.

The Empress Dowager was an old and cunning person. Ling Rong would never dare to play tricks in front of the Empress Dowager who had the last laugh in the harem.

However, although things on Lingrong's side have been settled, problems have arisen on Cao Qinmo's side.

To be more precise, something went wrong with Concubine Li - she was not as crazy as before.

After the Queen learned the news, she immediately sent the imperial physician to Qixiang Palace to treat Concubine Li. After all, she wanted to extract more evidence of Concubine Hua's crimes from Concubine Li.

But the Queen was a step too slow. Concubine Hua brought Jiang Cheng into Qixiang Palace first. When they saw the Queen sent someone over, they were quite sarcastic.

"The Queen is really well-informed. Concubine Li just got better and she brought Doctor Zhang here."

The Queen didn't care about Concubine Hua's attitude. She just smiled politely, stepped into the hall before Concubine Hua, and sat on the main seat.

No matter how dissatisfied Concubine Hua was, she could only sit below the Queen, sulking with an unwilling look on her face.

"As the head of the Six Palaces, I am naturally more informed. Concubine Hua would not want to hide such an important event as Lipin's recovery."

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes in disdain. She didn't want to answer the Queen's words and directly asked Jiang Cheng to go to the inner hall to treat Concubine Li.

The Queen was not to be outdone, so she sent Zhang Mi in to examine Concubine Li as well.

The two imperial doctors looked at each other, and had to give way to each other as they entered the inner hall, leaving the two masters to fight in the main hall.

They were just two poor imperial physicians, and even though they were respectively masters, there was no need for them to quarrel like two fighting cocks in a cage.

It’s just that the Queen and Concubine Hua obviously had different auras, and it was impossible for them to sit together and have a pleasant chat.

"Could it be that the Empress has planted spies in Lipin's palace?" Concubine Hua did not shy away from it. She deliberately touched her belly, "Otherwise, how could she come so timely without the Emperor knowing about it."

"Your Majesty doesn't know, and I don't know as fast as my sister. Could it be that everyone around Concubine Li is my sister's spy?"

Concubine Hua would not be irritated by the Queen's two innocuous words. "Lipin is close to me. If she has any situation, I will know it first."

The queen nodded. Her attention was attracted by Concubine Hua's action of stroking her belly, and she suddenly felt very angry.

I don’t know what method she used, but she was able to get pregnant even though her body had been damaged by Huan Yi Xiang for many years.

Could it be that Concubine Hua really found some secret recipe? Or maybe the Emperor had already changed the recipe of Huan Yi Xiang, intending to make Concubine Hua pregnant.

No, the emperor only favored Concubine Hua because of the power of the Nian family and Nian Gengyao.

Her favors were all fake and never real.

Cao Qinmo happened to enter the main hall at this time. The queen smiled and deliberately mentioned the matter of Concubine Hua adopting Wen Yi.

"No wonder Lady Cao was willing to give Wen Yi to your sister to raise. It seems that the three of you are indeed the closest."

Concubine Hua glanced at Cao Qinmo, who was sitting cautiously beside her, and said with disdain, "Wen Yi is the emperor's favorite princess, and her status is extremely noble, so she must be raised with great respect.

I have plenty of the Emperor's favor, and even less of the money to raise a princess. So Concubine Cao is naturally willing to keep Wen Yi in my palace.

Right, Lady Cao."

Cao Qinmo forced a smile and said, "What the queen said is true" while greeting the two of them. After getting their permission, she sat down quietly below Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua was very satisfied with Cao Qinmo's understanding. She looked at the Queen proudly and wanted to ask the Queen to leave Qixiang Palace.

"Your Highness, you have seen it. You should go back to the palace and have a good rest. After all, it is cold in winter. If you get a headache, it will make the six palaces worried."

The Queen didn't care. She came here just to get some information from Concubine Li and was not willing to leave just like that.

She simply did not want to argue with the jealous woman, Concubine Hua. Instead, she stood up and went into the inner hall to visit Concubine Li.

At first, Concubine Hua thought that the Queen was really going to leave, but when she saw her walking towards the inner hall, she hurriedly followed her, wanting to go in before the Queen.

But now she is pregnant and has to rely on Songzhi to support her when walking, so she can never catch up with the queen.

"How is Lipin doing?"

"In reply to the Queen," Zhang Mi said with a bow, "Concubine Li was previously traumatized, which caused her mental state to be a little unclear, but after several months of recuperation, she has recovered a lot.

It’s just that Concubine Li shouldn’t be provoked again, otherwise I’m afraid she will completely…”

Zhang Mi sighed, and he and Jiang Cheng looked at each other, "I have discussed this with Imperial Doctor Jiang, and it is a heart disease, and medicine is useless."

"That is to say, you don't know when Lipin will wake up or when she will fall ill."

"Yes, Queen."

The Queen sighed, she looked at Concubine Hua, her tone was quite regretful, "It seems that my sister will be disappointed, Lipin is no longer suitable to sleep with you.

I will report this to the Emperor. My sister is pregnant, so please go back early."
