An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Even if Lingrong discovered it at this time, it was too late.

Zhen Huan has always been very active. She has caught up with Shen Meiyu. The two did not quarrel. Instead, they talked peacefully, chatting and laughing all the way.

Ling Rong watched from behind, thinking about how to use Poria cocos.

But this Poria cocos is too complicated. She has intricate ties with the Empress, Concubine Hua, and even Noble Lady Tian. She is not so easy to bribe.

Moreover, if he bribed her at this time, he would end up bringing trouble upon himself.

"What are you looking at, An Lingrong?"

Lingrong raised her chin and motioned Xia Dongchun to look at Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang in front.

"How come the two of them are together again? Oh... this Shen Meizhuang."

Xia Dongchun rolled her eyes so much that they almost rolled their eyes to the sky. She really didn't understand the sisterhood between these two people.

Maybe they just like this kind of relationship that has gone through twists and turns and misunderstandings. Anyway, they are the ones who are happy and outsiders are the ones who feel uncomfortable.

"Xu Changzai seems to have discovered something, but unfortunately I discovered it too late and there is no way to stop it."

"Oh." Xia Dongchun didn't care. After all, she and Zhen Huan had no obvious grudges, and Zhen Huan couldn't harm her.

But An Lingrong might be a little unlucky, and she will have to think hard and plan again.

"Remember to tell me if you need my help." Xia Dongchun smiled, turned around and left, forgetting to greet Ling Rong.

Mingyu was so anxious that she kept nagging behind her, saying repeatedly, "My lady, you must remember to pay your respects."

Lingrong also heard Mingyu's consolation, but she didn't care about Xia Dongchun's attitude, so she didn't care about these things.

On the other side, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang entered Cunju Hall.

The two sat opposite each other in silence for a long time before Zhen Huan spoke softly.

"It is a cause for celebration that my sister is pregnant again."

Shen Meizhuang touched her belly which was not yet visible, and a gentle expression of a loving mother instantly appeared on her face.

She smiled gently, and nodded slightly in response to Zhen Huan's question without saying a word.

After all, the death of her first child was related to Zhen Huan. If possible, Shen Meizhuang really didn't want her second child to have anything to do with Zhen Huan.

"Sister Mei, Fuling was once instructed by someone to imprison Liuzhu in the stable.

If this matter was not done by my sister, then Fuling can no longer be trusted."

Shen Meizhuang nodded. She did not send Fuling to do this. "Liu Zhu came to Yuanmingyuan and disappeared after leaving Bitong Academy.

Later I wanted to send someone to find her, but I failed for a long time. "

Shen Meizhuang gradually fell into memories. She suddenly remembered that when Liu Zhu was captured, Cai Xing and Fuling said that she was wandering around Bitong Academy.

"But if I ask Fuling to come over to question me, I need evidence. I can't just accuse her of betraying her master."

"It was Ye Changzai from Xinghuachun Pavilion who saw it. At that time, Fuling took the opportunity to deliver medicine to the injured little red horse to visit Liuzhu who was imprisoned in the stable."

Zhen Huan had already investigated the matter thoroughly, otherwise she would not have rashly revealed the whole thing to Shen Meiyu.

She explained the whole story in a few words. The only thing that was still unclear was who the master behind Fuling was.

After all, Fuling belongs to Shen Meizhuang's palace, and she has no power to interrogate Fuling.

She used this incident as an excuse to ease the relationship between the sisters, and asked them to not be as tense as before, with cold faces everywhere.

"I will ask Fuling about this matter later. If she refuses to explain, I will leave her in Yuanmingyuan to do something else."

"This way, my sister will be relieved." Zhen Huan smiled and relaxed, "Sister Mei is pregnant now, so the people around her should check more times.

If someone like Fuling who betrays his master appears again, I'm afraid my sister and the little heir will be in danger."

When talking about the child, Shen Meizhuang's face turned a little bad. She still remembered that Zhen Huan had plotted against her. The child was lost, she also fell out of favor, and even the Shen family was blamed for something she didn't deserve.

Now, the reason why he could sit here and chat with Zhen Huan calmly was only because of his upbringing.

When Zhen Huan saw Shen Meizhuang's expression, how could she not know what she was thinking.

However, Zhen Huan had already decided to run away with Prince Guo, so she didn't plan to help the emperor hide the secret anymore.

"Sister Mei, there is one thing I have kept in my heart and never told you."

Seeing Shen Meizhuang looking at her with a puzzled expression, Zhen Huan sighed and said, "Actually, what happened in the Old Summer Palace last year was not what my sister wanted."

Shen Meizhuang frowned. She didn't want to talk more about this with Zhen Huan, so she opened her mouth and tried to refuse to bring up the sad matter.

"Those who said that the baby in my sister's belly was a ghost fetus were the so-called enlightened monks we invited.

These people were actually bribed by the Queen, not me behind the scenes."

Zhen Huan cleared herself of all blame and put the entire blame on the Queen.

This matter concerns herself, and Shen Meizhuang has already investigated everything behind the scenes. The Queen did help Zhen Huan bribe those monks, but the method of the ghost fetus was indeed proposed by Zhen Huan.

When they met at the gate of Baohua Palace, she admitted that everything had changed now, and she blamed it all on the Queen.

The Queen certainly had her faults, and she would find a way to avenge her. But no matter what, Zhen Huan shouldn't deny her mistakes.

"Noble Lady Xu, I think the Emperor and I have already investigated this matter thoroughly.

You are also suffering under house arrest in the Baohua Palace because of your own faults, so why are you bringing up these things today?"

It can be said that Shen Meizhuang showed no mercy to Zhen Huan. She repeated everything Zhen Huan had done in the past one by one. The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she couldn't even control her tears.

"You were the one who sent the bowl of red flowers, right? You can find excuses and reasons to blame others for other things, but how can you argue for this matter?"

Zhen Huan also wiped her tears, her eyelids slightly red, and she cried even more pitifully than Shen Meizhuang, "You dared to give me this red flower so openly, and even let me find out easily, can't I guess why?"

"Why, are you trying to say that the Queen gave you that medicine and asked you to put it in my bowl and you accidentally drank it?"

Who knew, Zhen Huan just shook her head and sighed deeply, as if she was struggling with her conscience.

But in fact, she was ready to tell the truth.

"It's not the Empress," Zhen Huan said with tears in her eyes, looking reluctant, "Actually... it's the Emperor. Because the child in my sister's belly may affect the Emperor's health and the fate of the country.

The emperor found me and told me to give the red flower to you, so that you can... put an end to the prince in your belly."

When Shen Meizhuang heard that it was the emperor's order, she couldn't believe it.

Even if the child has a bad reputation, he is still the emperor's child after all. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He is the emperor, how could he do such a despicable thing.

The child is innocent, he hasn't even been born yet, so who can he affect?

It's a pity that everyone believes in celestial phenomena, ghosts and gods, and even stands on a high position to point fingers at themselves and put an ominous hat on themselves.

Now that the child has passed away, what is the point of bringing up these things again?

Could it be that she wants me to help her do something?

Shen Meizhuang's guard suddenly rose. She suppressed her disgust and tentatively asked Zhen Huan, "Why do you want to tell me this now? I am pregnant now and I don't want to be overly happy or sad."

"No... Sister Mei, I don't have any intention of harming you again."

Zhen Huan waved her hands hastily. She stared at Shen Meizhuang closely, looking very sincere. "I have already asked Doctor Wen about it. Your pregnancy is stable now. I chose to tell you now."

"What's the point of telling me? You want me to hate the emperor and give up the favor I have obtained again.

Or do you want me to break up with the Emperor, so that I can be targeted by the harem and lose the baby in my belly? ! "

Shen Meizhuang was extremely excited. It wasn't that she liked the emperor, but she just couldn't understand why Zhen Huan kept eyeing her belly.

"Sister Mei..."

Zhen Huan's eyes turned red again, with tears swirling in her eyes, seemingly about to fall, making it difficult for people to bear the heart to curse her.

"I just want to tell my elder sister that my elder sister and I have always been of the same mind.

If we hadn't been forced and framed by others, my sister and I would still be the best of sisters.

How could I end up like this, with my sister doubting me all the time?"

Shen Meizhuang let out a long sigh. How could they blame everyone else for the situation that had happened to them both?

She, Zhen Huan, was wrong for attacking her best sister. She was also wrong for trusting her so-called best sister.

There is no such thing as best sisters. It's just a relationship as thin as a piece of paper.

"Mr. Xu, what happened between us cannot be explained in just a few words, and it is difficult for me to treat you the same way as before.

I will believe what you said today for now, but I will send someone to find out who wants to harm my child."

Seeing Zhen Huan's tears, Shen Meizhuang felt sorry for her and said, "Wipe your tears. You are no longer a typical little girl. You should also...take some responsibilities."

Shen Meizhuang had no idea that Zhen Huan was not only responsible now, but also dared to do some earth-shaking things behind her family's back.

I was simply tricked by her once again and fell into her trap.

"Sister Mei...even after knowing the truth, Sister Mei still won't forgive me?

Then why, why would we forgive the real culprit behind this?

All the orders were issued by the Emperor. Can you really forgive such a heartless Emperor?"

Zhen Huan opened her mouth unwillingly. She tried to grab Shen Meiyu's wrist across the table, but the latter dodged it deftly.

"My Lady Xu, I can't talk to you about the matter between the Emperor and me.

There are some things that I will ask the emperor in person. You don’t have to worry about my affairs. This has nothing to do with you.”

"How can this have nothing to do with me, Sister Mei?" Zhen Huan's tone was sad, as if she was really sad about the breakdown of the relationship between herself and Shen Meizhuang. "You are my best friend. It would be great if we could go back to the way we were before."

Shen Meizhuang remained silent. She didn't know how to answer Zhen Huan's words, so she could only respond with silence.

"Forget it, sister. Doctor Wen is trustworthy. If you have stomach discomfort or need help in the future, just go to Doctor Wen.

Our two families are old friends, he will definitely help you."

It was fine when she mentioned the emperor, but when she mentioned Wen Shichu, Shen Meizhuang's face showed some hesitation.

"Lady Xu is joking. Imperial Doctor Wen is the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital.

A doctor has a kind heart. Even without the relationship with Concubine Xu, he would help me take care of my body."

Shen Meizhuang raised her eyebrows. She looked back at Zhen Huan and asked the question in her heart, "Could it be that Concubine Xu meant that Imperial Doctor Wen diagnosed me because of your face?"

"Since my sister doesn't have any trusted imperial physician in the palace, I specifically instructed Imperial Physician Wen to pay extra attention to her condition.

My sister had abdominal discomfort a few days ago, and it was Doctor Wen who helped her stabilize the fetus.

Afterwards, Imperial Doctor Wen came to Yuedi Yunju and told me about my sister's condition, and only then did I feel completely relieved.

Sister doesn't know, I almost... rushed to Bitong Academy to visit you."

Zhen Huan did not hide her instructions to Wen Shichu. In fact, Wen Shichu did show special favoritism to Shen Meizhuang because of Zhen Huan.

However, this preferential treatment was slightly deteriorated because the relationship between the two of them later developed beyond that of doctor and patient.

But it is undeniable that it was because of Zhen Huan in the beginning. Shen Meizhuang was able to get those conveniences in the Imperial Hospital and avoid those calculations due to her pregnancy, which was indeed related to Zhen Huan.

But how could Shen Meizhuang, who fell in love with Wen Shichu, be willing to admit that Wen Shichu's special care for her was not because he liked her, but because of Zhen Huan's instructions behind her?

"… Doctor Wen is really interesting. He takes care of patients not out of a doctor's heart, but out of loyalty to Lady Xu."

Shen Meizhuang's tone was somewhat mocking. She stroked her belly, her eyes flashing with an incomprehensible light, "Could it be true, as the rumors say, that Imperial Doctor Wen has a special feeling for Concubine Xu?"

Zhen Huan was quite speechless. Faced with this jealous question, she didn't even know how to answer.

Wen Shichu once gave her a family heirloom and proposed to her before she entered the palace for selection.

It is impossible to say that he has no improper thoughts about himself.

But Shen Meizhuang's attitude...it seems that there is indeed an unspeakable relationship between the two of them.

Shen Meizhuang, ah Shen Meizhuang, it turns out that you and I are the same person.

"Those...those things are already outside the palace, I have already made it clear to Doctor Wen.

Now, Doctor Wen and I are just friends."

"You think so, but Doctor Wen may not think so." Shen Meizhuang's tone became more and more sharp, probably because she was stimulated by the relationship between Zhen and Wen. "If you really don't have any feelings for him, you should let it go calmly instead of using this relationship to do hard work for you in the palace.

Otherwise, he would only embarrass himself and waste his sincerity."
