An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 242 Meeting
Until the end, Lingrong was unable to enter Shoukang Palace to see her daughter.
Lingrong knew very well that the Queen Mother was deliberately trying to warn her. Although there were reasons for it, she found it hard to accept it in her heart.
No one wants to be harmed, even the perpetrators have the same thought.
But Ling Rong was helpless now. Although she wanted to break into the palace to visit You Ning thousands of times, she finally held back.
Because she is the empress dowager, the emperor's mother. If she dares to break in today, Youning will become someone else's daughter tomorrow.
Now he could only endure it and think of a way to ask the Queen Mother to send the child back to Chengqian Palace herself.
"My lady, now...is there any other way to see Princess Youning?"
Zhaoshui looked frustrated. Although she won the argument with Feiyun, she failed to let the young lady enter Shoukang Palace.
That Aunt Zhuxi is a smiling tiger. Even the young lady has to give her some face and cannot use her position to suppress her.
"I don't have any good ideas for the moment. Let's wait for the emperor and see if I can spare some energy to visit Youning in Shoukang Palace."
Lingrong was helpless and could only wait for news from the Emperor, hoping that he could come out of his gentle embrace as soon as possible and go to the Empress Dowager to see their daughter.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xiazi didn't come over until she said good night to the Queen, and Zhen Huan left in a hurry after paying her respects, so Ling Rong couldn't even catch her shadow.
However, Concubine Tian, seeing Lingrong was about to chase after Zhen Huan, shouted in displeasure.
"Why, she's going to be promoted to concubine, and you're chasing after her without even considering whether she likes you or not."
While Noble Lady Tian was muttering about people from humble backgrounds being used to flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, she raised her chin and asked Zhaoshui to speak up and tell her what Lingrong wanted to do with Noble Lady Xu.
Zhaoshui didn't speak immediately. She glanced at Lingrong and finally shut up obediently.
Lingrong was already accumulating anger because Youning was not around, and now that she was mocked by Concubine Tian, her anger was about to explode.
Just as she was about to speak sarcastically, Xia Dongchun ran over and looked them up and down, "You two are ready to fight in front of the Jingren Palace?
The Empress is still in the palace, be careful and make sure everyone has to copy the palace rules ten times."
After being interrupted by Xia Dongchun, Ling Rong finally suppressed her anger and began to explain the whole story, "Youning was taken away by the Empress Dowager and cried all night last night.
I wanted to go to Shoukang Palace to ask for an audience, but was stopped.
So I wanted to ask the emperor to take me to see Youning."
Lingrong glanced in the direction where Zhen Huan left and knew that she could not catch up with her now.
He calmed down and explained to the two people in front of him, "But Concubine Xu was accompanying the emperor all day, and I didn't get to see the emperor.
So I wanted to stop Concubine Xu and ask her to pass on a message for me."
"You want to beg, but they won't stop."
Tian Gui rolled her eyes in anger. When she saw the silver hairpin on Ling Rong's head, she began to criticize Ling Rong for not looking like a concubine and for wearing something that was not suitable for her status.
Lingrong was not angry, she just raised her hand and touched it, explaining that this silver hairpin was given to her by her mother before she entered the palace.
Concubine Tian had a very good relationship with Xia Dongchun and his family, so she didn't say anything more. Concubine Tian even squeezed out an apology from between her teeth, which was quite rare.
After knowing Lingrong's intention, Concubine Tian left. After all, she was pregnant and didn't want to stand in the snow for too long.
Xia Dongchun did not leave. He kept fiddling with the heater in his hand, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Then Concubine Xu will be promoted to Concubine soon, so you are just going to endure it like this."
"Some people just want me to endure it. Otherwise, why would they deliberately take Youning away and even refuse to make Concubine Xu a childless concubine without asking the emperor."
"She? Why would she do this? She must know how much the emperor cares about Concubine Xu now."
“Because she not only knows how much the emperor cares about Concubine Xu, but also knows that Concubine Xu is having difficulty giving birth to a child.
Such a Zhen Huan can't pose any threat to the one in Jingren Palace."
Xia Dongchun said, "Oh!" She took Ling Rong's hand and hid aside again, "But why is she always so lucky? She can get this status and this favor whenever she wants."
"good luck?"
When Lingrong heard Xia Dongchun say that Zhen Huan was lucky, she almost laughed out loud. She tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth, but joy still showed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"If you think that being unable to conceive, having all the loyal servants around you dispersed, having all the family members of your trusted imperial physician executed, and even having your only reliable sister die quietly is considered good luck, then she is really too lucky."
Ling Rong held her heater tightly, she shrank her fingertips, and felt a little too cold while laughing, "Besides the illusory favor of the Emperor, what else does she have?
Is there a good sister who is imprisoned in the palace, or a good brother who has a secret relationship with her?"
Only then did Xia Dongchun understand why Ling Rong was so indifferent about Zhen Huan's promotion to concubine.
Because if they wanted, they could expose what Zhen Huan had done at any time. Keeping her now was nothing more than using her as a target for the Queen.
However, Lingrong had a different idea. She actually wanted to see if the emperor would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he found out that Zhen Huan's so-called love for him was fake.
Moreover, the people sent by Ling Rong had already found some clues about why Zhen Huan risked her life to protect the emperor. Even if Zhen Huan really wanted to protect the emperor, she would have a way to fabricate evidence and make her die without a burial place.
Lingrong really wanted to see the emperor vomit blood out of anger. After all, she was the most vicious person in the palace, ten, a hundred, a thousand times more vicious than anyone else.
"Then...what should Youning do? Apart from the emperor, who else can compare with the queen mother's power?"
"Then wait a bit, Concubine Xu will eventually come out of the Yangxin Palace.
Besides, we still need to prepare other measures, and asking the emperor for help is the fastest way."
Although Lingrong said this, she was actually thinking in her heart how to make the Queen Mother experience the same pain of separation between mother and child as she did.
But the emperor is in the palace all day long, so the empress dowager can see him every day if she wants.
Moreover, the Queen Mother doesn't seem to like the Emperor very much. Unless there is something to discuss, I'm afraid she won't see the Emperor even once a month.
"Xia Changzai, do you think the Empress Dowager's favorite son is the Emperor?"
Xia Dongchun was startled by Ling Rong's question. She didn't even bother to warm her hands, but moved closer and covered Ling Rong's mouth with her hand.
"How dare you say anything? You even dared to fabricate the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Aren't you afraid of having your tongue cut off?"
Ling Rong frowned slightly and pulled Xia Dongchun's hand down, "You know it, right?"
"The Empress Dowager's favorite is the Emperor's younger brother." Xia Dongchun pulled Ling Rong to the corner again and began to talk about the things that Ling Rong knew in her previous life.
It was even mentioned that Yunti was now imprisoned in Jingling to study, and the emperor did not allow anyone to see him, including the empress dowager who missed her young son very much.
"The Queen Mother herself suffered the pain of separation from her child, yet she was so cruel as to make me suffer the same pain as well."
"Isn't this the same as that Zhen? She lost her own child and couldn't keep it even if she wanted someone else's." Xia Dongchun became bolder at this time. She muttered a few words and then guessed the reason why Lingrong asked this question.
"You...you don't want to attack Jingling."
"I would like to, but I can't reach there. However..." Ling Rong suddenly thought of an idea. If she wanted to make the emperor suffer, she would have to use the flesh and blood of his good brother as a medicine. Then she could just reach out.
But what kind of medicine should be used? Lingrong knows a lot about spices, but not much about poisons.
In particular, among the diseases for which blood and flesh can be used as medicine, there is only one: tuberculosis.
But this disease can also infect other people. It is the Queen Mother's fault, and it would be a sin if it affects others.
It was not until the heater in her hand fell to the ground with a plop that Ling Rong came back to her senses. She bent down to pick up the now cold heater and sighed deeply.
"Forget it... I'll help you find out." Xia Dongchun lowered his hand and helped Ling Rong up, "Look at how distraught you are. After having a child, you have more weaknesses than before.
Now Concubine Tian is the same. I am afraid of you guys. Now I think it is better not to have children."
"If you like it, just find a way to have a baby. If you don't like it, there's nothing wrong with being alone."
Ling Rong was not obsessed with the matter of having a child. Her own purpose of having a child was not simple, so why would she use her status as an experienced person to persuade Xia Dongchun?
"Then I'll trouble Concubine Xia to help. I'll go to the Yangxin Palace again and ask the emperor to help me go take a look at Youning."
There was still snow stuck on the heater, and Ling Rong didn't even bother to clean it up. She hurriedly found Zhaoshui who was waiting nearby and went to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor.
Fortunately, Zhen Huan had already left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and Ling Rong finally had the opportunity to ask the Emperor to go and see You Ning in person.
I don’t know if it was because of Zhen Huan’s tenderness and sweetness that made the emperor very happy, but the emperor did not refuse and immediately took Ling Rong to Shoukang Palace.
This time the Queen Mother did not stop them, and Zhu Xi politely took the two of them to the side hall where Princess Youning was.
At this time, Youning was being coaxed and played by Fanglin Fanghua, and did not seem to be crying.
But the moment Lingrong and the emperor got close to each other, the little girl pouted and started crying.
Lingrong was already worried, and now she immediately ran to Youning, holding the little guy in her arms and coaxing him.
The emperor also came over and touched Youning's forehead with his hand, "Fortunately, you don't have a fever, Rong'er doesn't need to worry too much."
Lingrong was in no mood to respond to the emperor. She just hummed randomly and hugged Youning to coax him softly.
Soon, Youning stopped crying and laughed happily instead, which made Lingrong feel upset.
"You, once you saw the child, you refused to even glance at me."
"When the emperor came in, he only looked at Youning, but now he has taken the lead and started to complain to me."
Lingrong handed the little person in her arms to the emperor, who took it happily and used the beads in his hand to amuse Youning.
"If you hadn't come to see Youning, I'm afraid you wouldn't have the heart to come see me."
"The person His Majesty wants to see most is definitely not me," Ling Rong smiled meaningfully, "just like the person the Empress Dowager wants to see most is definitely not Eunuch Su who went to report."
"Rong'er, you don't have to rush me to see the Queen Mother. I still want to play with Youning for a while longer."
"When Youning was in Chengqian Palace, why didn't the emperor come to play with her more often?"
Lingrong looked at the emperor with a mischievous look on her face. She said those jealous words intentionally just to make the emperor more pleased.
Sure enough, the smile on the emperor's face deepened. He didn't want to leave even more when he saw the young girl's coquettish expression, especially when he heard Lingrong say that he favored Zhen Huan more, he was secretly happy in his heart.
When you favor a woman, it’s always better to make it visible to others.
For a woman who is willing to sacrifice her life for you, no amount of favoritism is too much.
But... the emperor thought of the assassin, who has not been caught yet, and he is still not sure who wants to attack him.
If it weren't for Huanhuan, I'm afraid the Tenth and Seventeenth Princes would have succeeded and supported someone else to ascend the throne.
I'm afraid that Old Seventeen, who covets Huanhuan, will use his power to force Huanhuan to obey him.
He also said that he liked Huanbi, the palace maid beside Huanhuan. He really fooled me like a fool.
"Your Majesty?" Ling Rong interrupted the emperor's thoughts. She hugged Youning again and said, "Fortunately, Your Majesty is with me today, otherwise I would not be able to see Youning today."
"Why? Are you worried that the Queen Mother won't allow you to visit Youning?"
Lingrong shook her head, but in her heart she was saying, "I sent Youning to Shoukang Palace yesterday, and today I came to visit you.
If the Queen Mother feels that I do not trust her, then it will put the Emperor in a dilemma."
Ling Rong sighed, and looked at Aunt Zhuxi who was standing beside her, "The Queen Mother loves Youning, I know that.
But mother and daughter are connected by heart, and I really can’t bear to be separated from Youning for too long.
Therefore... Therefore I asked the Emperor to accompany you here. You can chat with the Empress Dowager, and I can also play with Youning for a while.
With the Emperor here, the Empress Dowager will only be happy and won't blame me."
"I am busy with state affairs, so I cannot serve the Queen Mother every day.
From now on, I will let Rong'er visit the Empress Dowager on my behalf every day, so that she can feel more at ease."
Lingrong achieved her goal and immediately agreed happily.
The Emperor was actually very clear about the little thoughts behind Ling Rong's words, and he also knew that the Queen Mother did not bring Youning here to enjoy family happiness - because the Queen Mother liked quietness and did not like a child as young as Youning making noises around her.
Therefore, the emperor relented and was willing to let Lingrong come to Shoukang Palace every day.
Serving the Queen Mother is fake, taking care of Youning is real.
"I'm going to visit the Queen Mother, Rong'er please stay with Youning first.
I will go to Yongshou Palace tonight, Rong'er doesn't have to wait for me anymore."
The emperor gave a few more instructions before leaving with the troublesome Zhu Xi.
It was not until the Emperor and Zhu Xi were out of sight that Ling Rong asked Fang Lin and You Ning about what had happened that day.
"Don't worry, my lady. Fortunately, Princess Youning didn't cry today.
But the Queen Mother did not allow us to leave the palace, which made you worried for a long time."
"It doesn't matter. We can meet every day from now on. The Queen Mother will not refuse the Emperor's honor, don't you think so, Fanglin?"
