An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After Lingrong and Ye Lanyi talked once, they never met again.

After all, although it sounds easy to say, attacking the empress dowager is extremely dangerous to do.

As for why Lingrong attacked the empress dowager, it all came down to the fact that she was bitten by a poisonous snake.

The Queen Mother condoned the Queen's plot to murder her concubines and even wanted to help the Queen get herself sent to Chunxi Palace.

Fortunately, I thought of a way and rejected the Queen Mother's suggestion, otherwise I really don't know whether Youning's child can be born safely.

Since the Queen Mother likes to help the Queen, it's good to let her suffer a little.

He could just use the name of helping Ye Lanyi to do it. If he was really exposed, he could put the blame on Ye Lanyi and get away easily.

Lingrong also knew that it was not good to be so vindictive, but there were some people for whom there would be no chance if she didn't take revenge. She couldn't always endure the humiliation from the Queen Mother and the Queen in her next life.

As for the Queen, Lingrong was doing more to instigate her followers to rebel. Now that Concubine Tian and Lady Xia are on bad terms with the Queen, there is no need to worry about these two people becoming depressed and continuing to work for the Queen and harm herself.

The only pity is that Zhen Huan's little tricks have not yet been investigated. Tang Di has never been able to gain Zhen Huan's full trust, which makes Ling Rong feel at a loss as to where to start.

But Tang Di did bring back some good news for Lingrong, that is, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had a falling out again.

The reason is still unclear, but it is said that after returning from Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan locked herself in the room and cried for a long time.

The emperor failed to appease the people when he went to Yuedi Yunju, and it seemed that they parted on bad terms.

Lingrong didn't care much about the emperor's attitude. After all, he always made exceptions for Zhen Huan.

Unless the emperor goes crazy one day and wants to depose the queen for Zhen Huan, Ling Rong will change her mind about the emperor.

"My lady, Concubine Jing has sent me a reply, she said the Queen Mother is not in good condition.

Aunt Zhuxi suspected that someone had attacked the Empress Dowager and had already begun sending more people to investigate.

Concubine Jing is responsible for checking all the instruments used by the Queen Mother, and Zhuxi is responsible for checking the medicines used by the Queen Mother. So far, nothing has been found."

Ling Rong nodded to show that she knew. Colorless and odorless poisons were the most difficult to detect. Even if the Empress Dowager had a special imperial physician who could find out what kind of poison she had been poisoned by, it would be difficult to find a way to check it.

"The Queen Mother has an imperial physician who has been taking care of her, so it is normal for her to find something wrong with her body.

It's just that we only used the drug once, so it's not easy for them to trace it back."

Ling Rong comforted Zhao Shui instead, "The poison is called Thousand Silks, and the poisoned person will feel as if there are fine silk threads entangled in all his limbs.

There is no abnormality during the day, but at night the whole body will itch unbearably, and the skin will even have mosquito marks like mosquito bites.

If you don’t know about this poison, you would just think it’s caused by mosquito bites in the summer.”

"Could it be that... the doctor beside the Empress Dowager happens to know about this poison?"

Ling Rong shook her head. She was not sure whether there was anyone who happened to know this poison.

After all, this medicine is not a deadly poison. It just makes people mentally exhausted after being tortured all night long. After a thousand days, their blood will be sucked away without them noticing, and they will die suddenly.

However, this poison is very easy to detoxify and can be cured with just a few herbs that can clear away heat and detoxify.

The incense used to repel mosquitoes contains medicinal herbs with similar effects, so even if most people are poisoned, they will not die suddenly after a thousand days, but the disease cannot be cured.

But Lingrong had no intention of killing the empress dowager unknowingly, so she had already prepared some mosquito-repellent incense, in which she had put some medicinal herbs that could dissolve thousands of threads. As long as she burned the incense for a few days, the poison would be easily dispelled.

"If he knew, he would have found a way to catch the person by following the clues of the poison. Why would he bother to find Concubine Jing to find a solution and check the clues from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Zhaoshui nodded, and seeing Lingrong so calm, she also put her worries to rest.

It’s just that everything the master did was a little scary, which always made Zhaoshui feel panicky. However, he was able to get through it safely every time, so Zhaoshui worried for nothing.

"Look at you," Lingrong couldn't help but smile at Zhaoshui's relieved look, "Even if something happens, I will find a way to make sure you're fine, don't worry."

“I’m not worried about that, but… sometimes I don’t know why the young master does this.

Obviously, we can agree not to help Ye."

It turned out that this girl was worried about these things. Ling Rong hummed and thought about how to explain to Zhaoshui.

But he was worried that his vindictive nature would scare the people around him, so he hesitated and was unwilling to explain the reason, "Because helping her will help us more."

In the end, Lingrong still didn't say that she also wanted to take revenge on the Queen Mother. She picked up some unrelated reasons and talked about them. Fortunately, Zhaoshui believed her and stopped dwelling on these things.

As for the Emperor, he became somewhat anxious upon hearing that the Empress Dowager was ill, but he also felt awkward and refused to face up to his admiration for her.

After all, the empress dowager was thinking about Fourteenth Son all day long. The first thing she did when her condition worsened was to tell the emperor how much she missed her youngest son.

So in the past few days, he kept moving between the various concubines, trying to relieve his boredom.

But with Zhen Huan around, Ling Rong was not worried that the emperor would come to bother her, but she didn't expect that Zhen Huan would not comfort the emperor this time.

As a result, the emperor ran to Shuimu Mingse with a lot of anger in his heart, and Lingrong had to pretend to be a confidant to comfort the emperor.

However, in order to successfully send Ye Lan'yi out of the palace, Ling Rong also deliberately pushed the emperor to Xinghuachun Pavilion, asking Ye Lan'yi to take this opportunity to win the emperor's favor.

Fortunately, within a few days, news came from the palace that the empress dowager's illness was very strange. It did not seem like a new disease, nor did it seem like poisoning. Instead, it seemed like a strange disease caused by mosquitoes.

He Anming consulted many medical books but could not find any good solution. In the end, he could only use mosquito repellent spices to relieve the empress dowager's symptoms.

But the Empress Dowager's symptoms had originally been alleviated, but they began to relapse again in the past few days, which is really puzzling.

Finally, it was the Empress Dowager who suggested asking the Imperial Observatory or several eminent monks to take a look, fearing that someone might make the wrong decision like Concubine Hua and use some magic to murder the Empress Dowager.

The Imperial Observatory, which had long been bribed by Ling Rong, followed the instructions of its master and linked the empress dowager's illness to Ye Da Ying.

It was said that Ye Ying's fate was in conflict with the Empress Dowager's. The more favored she was, the more she plundered the Empress Dowager's luck, causing her to become increasingly weak.

The emperor thought about his favor towards Ye Da Ying in recent days and felt that this matter was indeed somewhat credible.

But after all, she was his new concubine, and the emperor was reluctant to sentence her to death rashly.

"Your Majesty sighed as soon as he sat down today," Ling Rong poured a cup of tea for the emperor, pretending to be unaware of what the Imperial Observatory had said. "I heard that the Empress Dowager's condition has improved. I believe she will recover soon. Why does your Majesty have to worry so much?"

The emperor sighed heavily. He glanced at the cup of tea and took a sip after a long while. "Speaking of this, it is related to Ye Da Ying."

The emperor relayed to Lingrong what the Imperial Observatory had said. Now that he was doting on Ye Lan'yi, there were many things he was unwilling to say at this time.

After all, he was still thinking about how to keep both the Queen Mother and Ye Lan Yi by his side.

"If..." Ling Rong murmured to herself as if deep in thought, "If Ye Da Ying were asked to pray, would it be able to alleviate the Queen Mother's symptoms?"

"This is not a bad idea."

This way, Ye Lanyi could be kept and the Queen Mother's condition would not get worse.

The emperor immediately made the decision and planned to ask Ye Lanyi to go to the Buddhist temple in Yuedi Yunju to pray for the Empress Dowager.

It’s a pity that even though Ye Lan’yi is gone, the Empress Dowager’s symptoms were only slightly relieved, and she barely managed to get a good night’s sleep.

But the symptoms were alleviated, which proved that the method was indeed effective. It was just that the method was wrong, which led to the recurrence of the Empress Dowager's symptoms and failed to completely cure them.

Helplessly, the emperor secretly contacted the Imperial Observatory again, and the two had a secret conversation in Wanfang'an for a long time.

Afterwards, he personally went to Xinghuachun Pavilion and comforted Ye Lanyi with an embarrassed look on his face, considering the empress dowager's health.

Following Ling Rong's instructions, Ye Lan Yi generously expressed her concern for the Empress Dowager and was willing to leave the palace to pray until the Empress Dowager recovered.

But she still looked so cold, and the emperor felt like he had discovered the spark beneath her iceberg, and felt even more sorry for her.

But the more he doted on her, the weaker the empress dowager became. The emperor could only ask the nuns in Ganlu Temple to not treat Ye Da Ying harshly, but he had no way of assigning a servant to take care of her.

But Ye Lanyi convinced the emperor by using her own experience as a horse trainer in the Old Summer Palace, telling him to believe that she could take care of herself and not to worry too much.

So on the second day, Ye Lanyi was sent to Ganlu Temple outside the palace in the name of praying for the empress dowager.

Before leaving, the emperor came to Lingrong to see her off, while he himself hid in the dark, watching Ye Lanyi leave the palace with a look of melancholy on his face.

Ye Lanyi opened the curtain of the sedan chair and saw Lingrong coming to see her off. Tears welled up in her eyes.

She was afraid that someone would hear their plan, so she could only hold Ling Rong's hand tightly, not knowing what to say.

"Thank you." She didn't know what else to say except thank you.

Just as Lingrong was about to reply, Zhen Huan came over with Pei'er.

She bowed to Lingrong and asked Pei'er to hand the money she had prepared to Ye Lanyi.

"Madam An, can I have a private chat with Ye Ying?"

Lingrong glanced at Ye Lanyi, patted her gently, and took Zhaoshui to the side to rest.

After seeing Ling Rong and the other person walk away and no longer hear her voice, Zhen Huan finally spoke, "Lan Yi, congratulations on finally leaving this deep palace.

These gold and silver items are prepared for you. Life outside the palace is not easy, so you must take good care of yourself."

Ye Lanyi didn't want to accept these things, but thinking of Ling Rong's words, she accepted them.

After all, one still has to live outside the palace, and if one does not have money, life will be difficult for a long time.

Anyway, it's given to you for free, so why not accept it?

"Thank you, Lady Xu."

Ye Lanyi collected her things and was about to get on the sedan chair, but Zhen Huan stood still, making it impossible for her to leave immediately.

"Does Miss Xu have anything else to do?"

Zhen Huan shook her head and sighed, "It's great that you can leave the palace smoothly. It's worth all the careful planning."

Ye Lanyi frowned. She didn't understand what Zhen Huan meant.

Did he want to say that she was the one who planned his leaving the palace, or did he want to say that she knew about his affair with Concubine An?

If the former is better, you will know who helped you and you will not repay the favor wrongly.

But if it was the latter, I'm afraid that Concubine Xu had found some evidence. If she told the emperor secretly, Concubine An would be in danger in the palace.

"What does Lady Xu mean?" Ye Lan Yi barely suppressed the panic in her heart and spoke casually.

“I promised you before that I would send you out of the palace and set you free.

Now that you can finally leave, I am happy for you."

It's this kind of ambiguous words again. Ye Lanyi is a little annoyed. Can't the words be said more directly? Guessing all day long is really annoying.

"I'm afraid that God couldn't stand it anymore and gave me this fate so that he could send me out of the palace."

Ye Lanyi's words were tentative, wanting to see if Zhen Huan knew that the fact that her fate would bring bad luck to the Empress Dowager was caused by Concubine An behind the scenes.

"Some things are not determined by God, but by human beings." Zhen Huan said with a smile, but her words shocked Ye Lan'yi.

Could it be that she really noticed something? Ye Lanyi narrowed her eyes uncertainly. Whether it was true or not, she had to tell Concubine An about it.

But right now, I have to pretend that I know nothing about it.

"Man-made?" Ye Lanyi pretended to be surprised, but quickly changed her attitude, "I don't know whether this was man-made or not, but my entry into the palace must have been man-made."

She didn't wait for Concubine Xu to say anything else and interrupted her directly, "Concubine An is here to see me off on the orders of the Emperor, and I don't want Concubine An to hear what you said.

If she uses this as an excuse to win favor and tells the emperor, I won’t be able to leave the palace.”

Ye Lanyi glanced at Ling Rong and with a few words cleared up the relationship between them, even making it seem like they were in a hostile relationship.

"Ye promised, our young master has been running around for you, how dare you speak to her like that."

Pei'er suddenly spoke up and began to accuse Ye Lanyi of being disrespectful.

But it was obviously not Zhen Huan who did it, but she insisted on saying how much effort she had put in.

Ye Lanyi just felt very annoyed and wished she could drive away these two people who were like flies.

"Pei'er, you have overstepped your bounds! Please apologize to Ye Ying," Zhen Huan scolded her softly. She rarely looked serious, and immediately asked Pei'er to bow and apologize. "Even though I have been planning for Ye Ying to leave the palace for a long time, today's incident was not caused by me.

You are seeking credit like this, it's obvious that you have a crooked mind!"

"My lady..." Pei'er knelt down with a sense of grievance. She stiffened her neck and refused to admit her mistake. "But my lady did plan for Ye Da Ying for a long time. I, I just want Ye Da Ying to know..."

"You meant well, but you did the wrong thing."

Zhen Huan was still angry, she apologized to Ye Lan'yi and told her not to let Pei'er's words affect her mood.

"No matter what, I am truly happy that you can leave the palace."
