An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After learning the news about her father, Ling Rong felt relieved a little, but at the same time she also realized that the loss of food and grass this time was more complicated than in her previous life.

However, the emperor refused to say anything, and she did not dare to ask. The imperial harem interfering in government affairs was a big deal. Even if the emperor could accept it at the moment, he would only become suspicious when he thought about it again.

It would be better for Zhen Huan to be the one who is so good and can help the emperor with such an important matter.

Unexpectedly, just as Lingrong had expected, the Emperor went to see Zhen Huan under the cover of night. The two talked for a long time. The next day, Zhen Huan was released from house arrest and was able to wander around the garden again.

Lingrong was busy helping Concubine Xia regain favor, so naturally she had no time to pay attention to what Zhen Huan did.

Anyway, there are only a few things she likes to do, either trying to gain the emperor's favor like herself, or constantly gaining benefits for her family and herself.

Or find a way to meet with Prince Guo in private to discuss poetry and the beautiful country.

It's unlikely that she would suddenly have the idea of ​​snatching Wen Shichu from Shen Meizhuang, and a "war" would break out between two women fighting for one man.

With Ye Lan'yi's help, Lingrong and Xia Dongchun quickly learned how to ride horses.

Especially Xia Dongchun, he can already easily do some slightly difficult movements such as crossing obstacles.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lingrong found an opportunity and invited the emperor to the horse farm.

In the horse farm, Xia Dongchun had already run several laps. She was sweating slightly, and her cheeks were flushed due to the hot weather.

The emperor stared at it intently, and seemed to be itching to try his luck and join in the horse racing.

"It seems that I am a little late today. Xia Changzai arrived first."

Ling Rong pushed the emperor's arm and said, "Your Majesty, how about you ask Concubine Xia if we can go horse racing together?"

"Why should I ask?" The emperor pulled Ling Rong's hand, but his eyes were not completely glued to Concubine Xia. "I remember that Rong Er and Concubine Xia were very close friends, so I should ask myself."

"But, seeing that the emperor's eyes are straight, I want to create an opportunity for you and Xia Changzai."

The emperor laughed at Lingrong's teasing, but he also subconsciously looked towards Xia Dongchun, who was wearing a red riding suit and looked really flamboyant and enthusiastic.

If we really compare them, they are not worse than the daughters of military families. Maybe they are even more heroic.

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to ask Concubine Xia?"

The emperor nodded and asked Su Peisheng to go to the stable and bring his good horse.

Seeing that the emperor wanted to ride horses, Lingrong just treated it as watching a show under the stage. She wished she had some snacks with her so that she could eat while watching the two people perform.

Soon, the emperor's horse was brought in. Ling Rong personally arranged the emperor's clothes and helped him get on the horse.

This felt like sending the emperor to the battlefield. Ling Rong gently touched the horse's neck and said, "Please take good care of the emperor and don't let him lose too badly."

The horse snorted, as if agreeing with Ling Rong.

The emperor also patted the horse's back. After thinking for a while, he actually asked Lingrong if she wanted to get on and ride with him.

Ling Rong was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand. This time, she was doing this to favor Xia Dongchun, so it was no big deal for her to ride on the same horse with the emperor.

"Today, I will not ride on the same horse with Your Majesty. Your Majesty can make it up to you in the future."

"Nizi, think carefully. You won't have this opportunity in the future."

The emperor was not in a hurry. He stretched out his hand and signaled Lingrong to get on the horse again.

For a moment, Lingrong couldn't tell whether the emperor really wanted to ride a horse with her or was testing her.

She raised her head to see the emperor's expression, but unfortunately the emperor was sitting too high up with his back to the sun, so Lingrong couldn't see the emperor's face clearly.

But Lingrong hesitated for only a moment before handing her hand to the emperor. When Lingrong was pulled onto the horse, her eyes blurred and she felt like she was about to fall off, so she could only hold the emperor's hand tightly.

But just as she sat firmly, the emperor whipped his horse and took Lingrong to chase Xia Dongchun who was riding a horse.

This horse had been trained, and its running speed was incomparable to the horses Lingrong usually rode. She was worried that she would be thrown off, so she could only cling to the emperor tightly and hold the saddle tightly with both hands.

After a long while, Ling Rong finally got used to the running speed, and she finally dared to look up at Xia Dongchun in front of her.

Xia Dongchun happened to look back, and her voice was carried over by the wind, "This is the last lap, let's see who reaches the finish line first."

The emperor did not say anything, so Lingrong had to answer Xia Dongchun for him. The emperor reminded Lingrong to hold the horse's belly tight, and then he ran faster, and soon caught up with Xia Dongchun.

The horse nimbly jumped over the obstacles one after another, and Lingrong felt as if her waist was about to break from the bumps.

Fortunately, the horse race was coming to an end. The emperor pulled the reins, and the two of them waited for Xia Dongchun to come to the finish line.

After all, Xia Dongchun had not practiced for long, and was far behind the emperor. It took him a long time to catch up with the two of them.

"I didn't expect that Concubine Xia is so good at riding a horse," the emperor spoke first. "There is no suitable place to ride a horse in the palace, so you can only be patient and have fun in the Old Summer Palace."

"I can't even catch up with the emperor, how can I be considered powerful." Xia Dongchun hadn't put down the reins in her hands yet. She lowered her head sullenly, as if she cared a lot about winning or losing this game.

"I have the skills of a virgin. If you catch up with me, I will lose face."

Although the emperor's riding and archery skills are average, he has practiced for many years after all. How can Xia Dongchun, who only learned it for a few days, compare to him?

Listening to the two people discussing horse riding, Lingrong tried hard to reduce her presence, but she didn't expect that the emperor would bring her up again.

"Rong'er, are you happy riding a horse? Do you want me to take you for another lap?"

"I do want to run a lap, but I want to try it myself." Ling Rong rejected the emperor's suggestion without thinking.

Fortunately, the emperor did not force her. He simply handed the reins to Lingrong and got off the horse neatly.

"This horse has been trained for a long time, Rong'er, let's give it a try."

At this time, Xia Dongchun also got off the horse. She walked closer to the emperor, and in a position where the emperor could not see her, she made a gesture of success to Lingrong.

Although the emperor was still looking at Lingrong, he had already held Xia Dongchun's hand. He waved his hand and asked Su Peisheng to accompany Lingrong to race horses.

"Run slower." The emperor whispered to her. Lingrong responded, loosened the reins slightly, and rode away on horseback.

Fortunately, the horse racing venue was large enough, and Lingrong stopped after running for a short while. She looked back and could no longer see the emperor and Xia Dongchun clearly.

Su Peisheng followed Ling Rong dutifully. When he saw her turn her head and look in the direction of the emperor, he thought that his master was sad because the emperor favored other concubines.

It’s a pity that it is the emperor’s business and as a servant he cannot interfere. He can only carefully comfort Lingrong with a few words.

"Your Majesty, you are tired. How about I ask someone to prepare some food so that Your Majesty can enjoy the breeze and the scenery under the tree? Is that okay?"

"Nothing, I just happened to be going back to Shuimu Mingse, so Eunuch Su, please stay with the emperor."

Ling Rong was helped off the horse by Zhao Shui. She did not see Ye Lan Yi at the horse farm today and was worried about her, so she thought of taking the opportunity to look for her.

When Su Peisheng heard that Ling Rong was leaving, he immediately bowed and said, "The horse farm is a bit far from Shuimu Mingse. Would you like me to see you off?"

"No need, Zhaoshui is here with you, just stay with the emperor."

Lingrong took Zhaoshui with her and went directly to look for Ye Lanyi.

When I saw Ye Lan Yi, I discovered that she had fallen ill due to the heat.

It’s just that Ye Lanyi is just a horse trainer. She has to work even when she is seriously ill, and she can’t even hire a royal physician to diagnose her.

Seeing Ling Rong coming in, Ye Lanyi struggled to get up. It wasn't that she wanted to greet Ling Rong, but she felt that she was not fit to see anyone in her current state.

"Well, it's no big deal even if you lie down."

Seeing her struggling, Lingrong asked Zhaoshui to take Ye Lanyi's pulse.

Ye Lanyi wanted to struggle, but she was very ill and didn't have the strength to break free from Zhaoshui's hand.

"No need, no need to trouble Concubine An."

But Zhaoshui didn't listen to her. He still grabbed Ye Lanyi's wrist and took her pulse.

"I got sick because of the heat and overwork."

Zhaoshui had studied medicine for a long time, so she could still treat heat stroke and cold. She looked at Lingrong, "Miss Ye is still having a fever. We must reduce the fever as soon as possible, otherwise it may cost her life."

Ye Lanyi was already delirious with fever at this time. She felt that her throat was like a dry river and she couldn't utter even one more word.

Even if Ye Lanyi wanted to refuse Lingrong's help, she could only lie on the couch and let Lingrong send people to find the imperial physician to get medicine, boil the medicine, and feed it to her mouth.

She couldn't figure out why Concubine An wanted to help her. Could it be because she taught her how to ride a horse?

Ye Lan was thinking in a daze, but the effect of the drug soon took effect and she fell asleep immediately. When she woke up, the two men had all left.

Her health improved a lot, but she was still weak after the illness. Fortunately, Ling Rong left some medicinal herbs, which were enough to support Ye Lanyi until she recovered.

"Ye Lanyi, stop being lazy. Someone's looking for you." Nanny Wang knocked on the door vigorously. After not hearing Ye Lanyi's voice for a long time, she became even more impatient. "Come out quickly. Xu Chang is looking for you."

Ye Lanyi opened the door with a cold face, "Mammy, you are making such a loud noise, aren't you afraid of disturbing Concubine Xu?

If you anger the master, you will be in big trouble!"

Nanny Wang was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. When she heard Ye Lanyi being so tough, she really thought that she had some relationship with Xu Changzai.

"Oh, you've climbed up so high that you're even talking back to me." Nanny Wang rolled her eyes, pushed the door hard, and left with a huff.

Ye Lanyi didn't know Xu Changzai at all. She turned around to look at the medicinal herbs on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then found a safe place to hide them.

That Nanny Wang is very mean-spirited. She might take out her medicine and throw it away when she goes to see Concubine Xu.

After blocking the medicinal herbs with bricks, Ye Lanyi felt at ease to go out to see Xu Changzai.

Xu Chang was bringing Huanbi with her. The two were discussing something with Nanny Wang in the main hall. Seeing Nanny Wang's fawning look after receiving the reward, Ye Lan Yi felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

"Where's Miss Ye? Have you brought her here?"

When Nanny Wang turned her head, she saw Ye Lan'yi standing at the door. She was so angry that she went up to Ye Lan'yi and pulled her ear.

"Okay, Nanny Wang, there's nothing for you to do here. Go down."

Zhen Huan spoke up in time and stopped Nanny Wang who wanted to bully Ye Lan'yi.

Nanny Wang withdrew her hand in dismay. She turned her back to Concubine Xu, glared at Ye Lan Yi fiercely, and walked away with an unhappy face.

"Xu Changzai, what do you want from me?"

"You servant, why don't you show respect when you see Concubine Xu?" Huanbi was quite displeased. Her master's status was much higher than that of this horse trainer, yet she was treated so arrogantly.

Ye Lanyi immediately bowed, but her tone was still cold, "I pay my respects to Changzai Xu, Changzai Xu, may you live in good health."

"you!"

"All right!"

Zhen Huan waved her hands, she didn't care much about these etiquettes. But since Huanbi had spoken, she couldn't stop her and slap her own servant in the face.

"Miss Ye, I have something I want to ask you.

During the time when Concubine Hui was confined to the Old Summer Palace, did you find anything unusual in the garden?"

Ye Lanyi frowned. Xu Changzai's voice was gentle, but it was very unpleasant to hear. "Who is the noble lady Hui? I don't know."

When Zhen Huan heard Ye Lan Yi say she didn't know, she couldn't help but frown.

Before coming to the Old Summer Palace, she went to the Ministry of Punishment to meet Liu Zhu. When she asked Liu Zhu about his experience in the Old Summer Palace, Liu Zhu mentioned that he was imprisoned by Concubine Hui.

According to Liu Zhu's narration, she was first imprisoned in a place with horses, and was later taken to Bitong Academy by Concubine Hui.

Zhen Huan was very puzzled. At that time, apart from the Fourth Prince, there was only Concubine Hui in the Old Summer Palace. Why would she need to imprison Liu Zhu somewhere else?

Therefore, Zhen Huan was convinced that someone was behind her aborting Shen Meizhuang's fetus based on the theory of astronomical phenomena, so she came to the Machang to investigate.

Unfortunately, few people in the stable knew about this matter. Now only the palace maid who often trained and took care of horses was left. She was the most likely to know who imprisoned Liu Zhu in the stable.

But she said she didn't know who Concubine Hui was, so how could Zhen Huan not feel annoyed?

"Xu Changzai, please explain it clearly. I am in the stable all day and have no chance to see you masters. How can I know if there is anything unusual in the garden?"

Ye Lanyi has always been straightforward and hates people who speak in a roundabout way the most. If there is something going on, wouldn't it be better to just say it directly? Why make it so complicated?

"One of my personal maids was once imprisoned in the horse farm. I want to help her find the person who imprisoned her and seek justice for her."

Zhen Huan's words were filled with sadness. When she saw Liu Zhu's pitiful appearance in the Ministry of Punishment, she couldn't help but feel sad.

He must find a way to rescue Liu Zhu from the Ministry of Punishment, and also take the opportunity to pull out the person who destroyed the relationship between him and Shen Meizhuang from the dark.
