An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

The emperor said "tomorrow" and asked all the concubines to leave.

However, Concubine Qi and the Empress were still in the main hall, talking about something with the Emperor and the other two.

Lingrong couldn't bear to hear it and wasn't that curious. Instead, Concubine Tian came over to chat with Lingrong with weak legs and feet, wondering what the emperor meant.

Seeing Concubine Tian like this, Lingrong had no choice but to follow her to the Yanx Palace to sit for a while. Xia Dongchun followed behind very consciously, also staring at Lingrong with curiosity.

"Lady Tian, ​​you're already so scared, and you still want to have a late night talk?"

Xia Dongchun was fanning himself with a look of derision on his face.

Lady Tian was really annoyed. She glared at Xia Dongchun and said, "You must have fainted from fear if someone wrongly accused you like this.

You are still here mocking me, aren't you afraid that the ice in this ice jar will freeze your teeth?"

Xia Dongchun snorted and turned his head to look at the ice jar. "Oh, there are so many ice cubes in this ice jar. It can be compared with the ice cubes in the small kitchen in Yongshou Palace."

There was no ice in the small kitchen. Ling Rong raised her fan to cover her lips, fearing that her smile would be seen by Concubine Tian, ​​who would then start a quarrel again, which would be really annoying.

Concubine Tian was not a fool, and she knew Xia Dongchun's sarcasm almost immediately.

Her chest heaved, and she was obviously angry. "It's better than your room. I wonder how you'll sleep without Mingyu fanning you."

"It's none of your business. I can handle the heat."

Xia Dongchun was not willing to be outdone, and the two of them started arguing back and forth like little kids who had just entered school.

That means their brains are equally matched, otherwise one of them would have been defeated long ago.

"Alright, alright, if you keep arguing like this, it's time to pay respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

Ling Rong was almost sleepy from the quarrel between the two. She yawned secretly behind her fan and asked Concubine Tian, ​​"Did Concubine Tian eat something bad today? How could she go out at such a coincidence?"

At this point, Concubine Tian's expression twisted, and she shook her head, "I didn't eat anything bad, it's just...it's just that Concubine Xu's words are too disgusting."

Concubine Tian really didn't want to recall the story. She waved her hand and asked Sang'er to repeat the whole story.

Fortunately, Sang'er had a good memory. He not only repeated it, but also imitated Zhen Huan's tone vividly.

Ling Rong listened attentively and even felt that this story was very refreshing in this hot summer.

"You, you're still laughing while a group of people are watching human flesh being cooked."

Xia Dongchun almost vomited. She kept patting her chest and finally suppressed the nausea. "After hearing this story, I don't want to eat meat for the next few days."

"It's good to change your taste occasionally. There are so many delicious foods in the world. If you only focus on meat, you will lose half the fun."

Ling Rong restrained her expression slightly, not wanting the two of them to see that she didn't care about this person's life.

"Without meat, I don't even have half the fun." Xia Dongchun snorted, and she glanced at Sang'er behind Concubine Tian angrily, "Don't describe this kind of thing so vividly in the future."

"Yes, Xia Changzai."

If it were the usual Concubine Tian, ​​she would have started arguing with Xia Dongchun long ago. After all, she was her personal maid, so what right did Xia Dongchun have to scold her?

But because Sang'er's description was so vivid, Concubine Tian felt disgusted all over again and no longer had the energy to care about what Xia Dongchun said.

"Why did Concubine Xu tell this story at this time?" Ling Rong pretended to mutter to herself, but the voice was heard clearly by everyone in the hall. "Besides, Concubine Tian clearly showed signs of nausea and discomfort, but she actually handed over the dish of meat. It's really unlike her style."

"Of course not," Xia Dongchun took a sip of tea and suppressed the nausea. "She is just that kind of vicious woman. The more miserable others are, the happier she is."

Ling Rong was blocked by Xia Dongchun's words, but Concubine Tian nodded, making it difficult for her to link this series of events to Zhen Huan.

"The main thing is... this is too coincidental." Ling Rong coughed twice and decided to ignore these two people. "Noble Lady Xu told this story and scared Noble Lady Tian away.

Concubine Tian happened to meet the food delivery team and came into contact with the leading spiritual mirror. In the end, this spiritual mirror harmed Concubine Jing and framed Concubine Tian for the incident.

Don’t you think that what happened was too coincidental, one thing after another, as if someone did it on purpose? "

After Lingrong explained it so clearly, Concubine Tian finally thought about it carefully. From Zhen Huan's story to her testimony, she began to doubt Zhen Huan's intentions little by little.

“And Concubine Xu was clearly sitting next to me. She could see that I didn’t move the tablecloth, but she still said that she turned her back and didn’t notice it.

Could it be that she wanted to harm Concubine Jing, so she did these things on purpose and framed me?"

Very good, Concubine Tian really didn’t know that it was Concubine Qi who did it.

Lingrong thought silently in her heart, but it seemed that Zhen Huan was indeed involved in this matter. She just didn't know whether she was just helping or giving advice to Concubine Qi.

There were really many loopholes this time, and Ling Jing was too soft-hearted. He actually confessed about Concubine Qi before he even asked any questions.

If the Emperor had not considered the Third Prince, I'm afraid he would have reprimanded Concubine Qi on the spot. How could he have given her the opportunity to ask the spirit mirror to identify the imperial physician tomorrow?

"Huh? Is this Zhen Huan addicted to harming people? She stares at other people's bellies every now and then. What? Is she going crazy with jealousy because she knows she can't have children?"

Xia Dongchun didn't think so much. She immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with Zhen Huan, "Reading books makes your brain smart, but how come it also makes your heart vicious?"

"Knowledge doesn't represent character," Concubine Tian also drank tea, suppressing the nausea in her throat, "but who put the red flowers on my table? It can't be that Zhen family, right?"

Ling Rong shook her head, "The red flower was placed so deep under the tablecloth, it's impossible for it to have been put there after the banquet started.

So it can only be before the banquet, and before the banquet, who can touch this table?"

"This..." Concubine Tian hesitated for a moment, and suddenly she thought of someone, "You mean... the Queen?"

Lingrong nodded slightly. After all, the Queen had already harmed Concubine Tian once, so there would be nothing wrong in making Concubine Tian hate her even more.

"This old woman is vicious. Xia Dongchun and I have both been harmed by her. She even thought that was not enough and colluded with Zhen to attack Concubine Jing.

They even want to pin the crime on me, what a plan to kill two birds with one stone."

It's more than just killing two birds with one stone. I think she wants to kill three birds with one stone.

Lingrong grumbled in her heart, she always felt that the Queen was actually targeting the Third Prince.

It seems that Concubine Jing's pregnancy has indeed made the Empress feel a sense of crisis.

The queen had no sons or daughters and only an empty throne, so she naturally felt uneasy sitting there.

"But... Concubine Qi is not completely innocent." Ling Rong thought about it and analyzed Concubine Qi's performance again, "When the spirit mirror pointed at her, Concubine Qi looked shocked.

If he was really wronged, he wouldn't need the palace maid to remind him to speak up for himself."

"This..." Concubine Tian was confused again. If Concubine Qi did this, it would be too outrageous. "Concubine Qi has the Third Prince, why would she be so desperate to murder Concubine Jing?

Now that the matter has been exposed, she is the one who suffers."

"Yes," Ling Rong was relieved to see that Concubine Tian had hit upon the point. "It seems that Concubine Qi was bewitched by someone. Otherwise, with her silly and naive personality, how could she do such a thing?"

Xia Dongchun burst out laughing at the side. When she thought of Concubine Qi's silly look, she found it a little funny. "With Concubine Qi's temper, it seems anyone can incite her."

"......You're still laughing. If it were you, you would probably be instigated by someone and go out and hurt others foolishly." Concubine Tian rolled her eyes. She really didn't understand how she had the nerve to laugh at Concubine Qi.

"As if you were so clever..."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Lingrong quickly spoke up to stop them, "Instead of bickering here, why not think carefully about the purpose of the person who bewitched Concubine Qi.

Could it be that they were just trying to frame Concubine Tian? And this frame-up is not very clever at all. "

This is brilliant, Concubine Tian muttered to herself, she almost got into trouble. If it weren't for An Lingrong's testimony, she would have been blamed for no reason.

"Then... it's just to get rid of a concubine. Since they have already murdered the heir to the throne, how could the emperor still keep Concubine Qi's position? Even if Concubine Jing has a good temper, she won't agree to it."

"For Concubine Qi, position may be very important, but for the people behind the scenes, the more important person is actually the Third Prince."

"Third Prince?"

Ling Rong hummed, and lowered her voice, which made Concubine Tian and Concubine Xia listen more carefully. "A mother who tried to murder the heir to the throne but failed and wanted to frame someone else will only make people think that she is not a good teacher for the Third Prince.

Do you think, Concubine Qi, after tomorrow, will the Emperor still think that Concubine Qi is qualified to educate the Third Prince?"

"If it's not Concubine Qi who teaches him personally, then there are only two options," Noble Lady Tian responded quickly, "either let the Third Prince live in the Prince Residence and not let Concubine Qi contact him casually; or find someone else to teach the Third Prince. There are only two people in the palace who are more qualified than Concubine Qi..."

"The Queen Mother has been bedridden for years. I'm afraid she is unable to educate the prince, even if she is willing. Then the Empress is the only one who can do it." Ling Rong finally finished her words. Now the two of them finally have a new understanding of this matter.

I just don’t know if the two of them realized that today’s situation was not meant to be framed on Concubine Tian.

The Queen will try her best to "help" Noble Lady Tian clear her name. The charge of murdering the heir to the throne must fall firmly on Concubine Qi.

So many concubines knew that Concubine Qi had done this. Even if the Emperor intended to cover it up today, he would not let the Third Prince have a mother with a stain on her body.

But Concubine Jing was still lying in the warm room, and the emperor had to give Concubine Jing an explanation no matter what.

The most likely scenario is to hand the Third Prince over to the Queen for upbringing.

However, if the Third Prince is handed over to the Queen, her position will be more secure. One Concubine Jing is not enough to balance the Queen. I wonder if the Emperor will think of pushing Zhen Huan to the position of Concubine again.

If she were allowed to assist in managing the six palaces, it would be even more difficult for me to obtain the position of concubine.

The best way is for Concubine Tian to work hard and please the Emperor so as to gain the right to assist in managing the six palaces.

It's just that her family background is good enough, but her scheming is far from enough. I'm afraid the emperor would still prefer Zhen Huan.

"I finally understand. There are too many smart people in this palace. If we are not careful, we will be fooled." Xia Dongchun curled her lips. If Ling Rong had not been here today, she and Concubine Tian would still be foolishly unaware of who the mastermind was.

"Just be careful in the future." Ling Rong was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. She made the excuse that she wanted to go back to accompany You Ning and left the Yanx Palace.

Things have come to this point. If I continue to talk about what I want Concubine Tian to do, it will only make her unhappy, and she may even feel like I am pushing her out to be a shield.

Let her digest it and think about how to proceed. After all, not using her brain doesn't mean she is a fool.

When paying respects the next day, the Queen recounted what had happened the previous night and repeatedly warned everyone not to make the wrong decision and try to murder Concubine Jing.

“If you want to get pregnant, go back to the palace and think carefully about how to please the emperor.

If everyone could be like Concubine Xu and Concubine Chun, who could get the emperor's attention, why would this palace and the empress dowager need to worry about the issue of offspring every day?"

It was the same words again, the same provocation again. Ling Rong didn't even need to look at other people, she knew how many envious and targeted eyes were on Chun Changzai's face.

"Empress, how is Concubine Jing now?" Noble Lady Tian wanted to know how the Emperor dealt with Concubine Qi, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Concubine Jing is no longer seriously ill, but she still needs to rest in Xianfu Palace for a while."

"Then last night..."

Just as Lady Tian was about to ask who did it last night, she was interrupted by the Queen, "What happened last night has been investigated. It was actually Ling Jing who used safflower and then came into contact with milk, which left a mark on the rim of the cup."

The Queen Mother smiled and distorted the facts of last night word by word, "It was Doctor Li who was in charge of serving Concubine Qi who prescribed red flowers to Ling Jing, which caused Ling Jing to panic and call out Concubine Qi's name.

As for Concubine Tian, ​​it was purely an unprovoked disaster. I have already told the emperor that the reward will be sent to the Yanxi Palace soon."
