An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Ever since she suspected she was pregnant that day, Ling Rong called He Anming to Chengqian Palace to take her pulse.

But the pulse did not show any signs of slippery pulse, and He Anming was not sure whether Ling Rong was really pregnant - after all, it was possible that the baby was too young to be diagnosed through pulse diagnosis.

After all, Lingrong's body has indeed changed. It is better to take precautions in advance than to foolishly pretend that she is not pregnant.

"Your Majesty, I have not diagnosed a slippery pulse. But since Your Majesty has noticed something wrong with her body, just treat it as if she is pregnant."

Anyway, all she had to do was pay attention to her diet and do less strenuous exercise. It wouldn't do any harm to her whether she was pregnant or not, so Lingrong naturally agreed.

"There is one more thing I must mention," He Anming bowed and spoke without waiting for Ling Rong to nod, "Your Majesty, please don't think too much. It's not only bad for the fetus, but also for your health."

Hearing this, Ling Rong sighed subconsciously. She was not just overthinking. Apart from the time she spent playing with You Ning, she was thinking about how to respond to the Queen Mother and dethrone the Queen.

Every incident was shocking to the world. Even a rough-minded person like Xia Dongchun would want to open his head to see if it was filled with water from the Thousand Carp Pond.

Therefore, she could only plan in her mind, calculating every little thing so that the Queen Mother would not be able to find any clues.

"I know, but this... is definitely beyond my control."

"My lady, thinking too much will damage your appearance.

I don’t need to elaborate on the importance of a woman’s appearance in the harem.”

He Anming knew that Lingrong was always a little insecure about her appearance, so he deliberately mentioned this danger so that Concubine Sheng would pay more attention to her.

Ling Rong subconsciously touched her face. Although she was not as concerned about her appearance as Concubine Hua, she loved beauty after all and did not want to hear words that would damage her appearance.

"Compared to when I entered the palace, has my appearance really deteriorated a lot?"

When asked by Ling Rong, He Anming felt a little embarrassed.

He was just an imperial physician. If he answered this question, he would be suspected of being overly close to the empress.

But if I don't answer this question, I'm afraid Concubine Sheng will have more worries.

In the end, not only did his instructions fail to achieve the expected results, they also caused new troubles.

"This..." He Anming felt regretful and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"No need to say more, Doctor He."

Ling Rong did not force him to say any words of comfort. Anyway, her appearance was not outstanding in the palace, so whether it was damaged or not was not that important.

It was just a subconscious comparison just now. In this palace, appearance is never the only option.

"Do I need to take medication such as pregnancy-preserving medicine during this period?"

"Not necessary," He Anming did not hesitate. Since Concubine Sheng said there was no need to say more, forgetting about it was the best option. "You are still not sure whether you are pregnant or not. Taking pregnancy-preserving medicine will affect the subsequent diagnosis.

Just keep your diet and rest schedule the same as when you were pregnant with Princess Youning, and there won't be any problems.

I will send some of the incense pills later, and if your maids wear them, it will be more effective."

"Then I would like to thank Doctor He. I will ask everyone around me to wear it carefully." Ling Rong hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject and mentioned the situation of Imperial Concubine Jing, "Is Imperial Concubine OK now?"

He Anming shook his head and said hesitantly, "On the day when Concubine Jing gave birth, we had to use some dangerous methods.

...The tear was too severe, and the wound was difficult to heal, which is why Imperial Concubine Jing has not recovered for a long time."

Although Lingrong didn't know how the operation was done specifically, she learned some information from the midwife - the fetus was too large to be delivered, and Ma Fei San could not be used to prevent Concubine Jing from losing the strength to give birth.

Therefore, that method could only be used when Concubine Jing was conscious. If the pain during childbirth had not been more severe, asking her to temporarily ignore other pains, I am afraid that Concubine Jing's screams would have echoed throughout the Xianfu Palace.

"If it's really as you said, I'm afraid it's not just the injuries on the body." Ling Rong sighed deeply, afraid that Concubine Jing also had a heart disease, which led to her body not recovering for a long time, "How about Sixth Prince, is he okay?"

"Please forgive me for speaking frankly, but although the Sixth Prince looks healthy, he is actually weak inside. I am afraid that Concubine Jing used drugs to force the pregnancy, which caused the Sixth Prince to have some congenital deficiencies.

As for whether there will be any impact in other areas, we can only know when the Sixth Prince grows up a little bit more. "

Lingrong knew best what medicine Concubine Jing had used. She mentioned it to He Anming, wanting to know whether the Sixth Prince was really precocious but died young.

"It's hard to be sure about wisdom, but this premature death..." He Anming also sighed, "The lady should be very clear about this recipe. Although it can make women who are deeply harmed by musk pregnant, it will also transfer the toxins accumulated in the body to the child.

If the patient is in good health, the impact on the child will be less.

But the health of Concubine Jing is not good, otherwise she would not be unable to get pregnant. "

"Is it true that the Sixth Prince will not live to the age of coming of age? Is there really no way?"

He Anming fell silent, which was unusual for him. Even with his superb medical skills, he had no idea how to save the Sixth Prince.

"There is really no good solution at the moment. We can only take good care of ourselves from now on, but..." He Anming looked up at Ling Rong and asked a very crucial question, "Does Concubine Jing know about this? If we tell Concubine Jing the truth, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it, and it may even ruin her own body.

But if it was concealed, what excuse would the Queen have to ask the Sixth Prince to take medicine to heal from the time he was still in his cradle?"

Ling Rong had indeed never thought about this problem seriously. Only when He Anming reminded her did she remember that Concubine Jing did not know as much about the prescription as she did.

Even though she was told that it would affect the child, she never listened and even felt that Ling Rong was exaggerating and a bit alarmist.

"...Please help Imperial Doctor He to think of a solution. As for Imperial Concubine Jing, I will try to make her understand the seriousness of the matter."

"As you command, my lady."

After He Anming left, Ling Rong fell into a long silence. She didn't know how to convince Concubine Jing.

You can't just rush up foolishly and say that your sister's child can't be raised, and there is still some chance if he takes medicine and recuperates from a young age.

It didn't sound like help at all, but rather a curse.

But no matter how she started it, Lingrong had to wait until Concubine Jing's health improved and she could see people.

It’s just that Concubine Jing’s health had been delayed for too long, and it was not until she had her period that she showed some signs of improvement.

But for some reason, she still didn't want to see guests, not only the Queen, Ling Rong and others, she even refused to see the Emperor. She stayed in Xianfu Palace all day, accompanying the Sixth Prince.

As a result, even if Lingrong wanted to explain the Sixth Prince's situation to her, she couldn't find a chance. After finally handing over a letter, there was no reply.

It was not until the Emperor issued an edict to hold a ceremony to confer the title of Imperial Concubine that Imperial Concubine Jing opened the gate of Xianfu Palace to welcome everyone's congratulations and gifts.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to give gifts, Lingrong was able to go to Xianfu Palace and meet Concubine Jing.

However, the two of them remained silent for a long time before Lingrong finally asked if her sister was in good health.

"The imperial physician said that I have recovered well, I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart." There was no joy on Concubine Jing's face. She looked at the increasing number of gifts in the main hall, and could only sigh endlessly.

"Sister, your delivery was extremely dangerous. I'm afraid someone might be interfering. Sister..."

"Sister, I searched for a long time, but I didn't find any useful information.

It is true that the Sixth Prince is strong, and I myself am wondering if it is because I take too many supplements on a daily basis that I have suffered such a disaster."

"But that day..." Lingrong described what happened that day in detail, including the behavior of the palace maids, the Queen's understanding of the imperial physician, and so on.

It's a pity that although everything seems to be problematic, no clues can be found. Concubine Jing has to believe that the child developed too well, which caused her to suffer so much.

"But the Queen is most jealous of everyone in the harem getting pregnant. It's really hard to believe that she didn't do anything to my sister."

Ling Rong wanted to continue to persuade Concubine Jing, but she raised her hand to stop her, "Sister, I really feel a little tired.

Now that I have the Sixth Prince, I feel that my life is complete.

Since the child has not been harmed in any way, I don’t want to fight with the Queen anymore.”

Ling Rong was speechless for a moment. She naturally knew that Concubine Jing gave birth to a prince, so lying low was the best option at this time.

If he confronts the Empress head-on, the Sixth Prince will also be in danger.

What Concubine Jing is best at is forbearance. She used to be able to fall asleep by counting the bricks and stones in the Xianfu Palace day and night, and now she can also stay at the Xianfu Palace to guard the Sixth Prince and confine herself.

"Since you have made your choice, I will not try to dissuade you."

Ling Rong felt suffocated at this moment, with indescribable loneliness and worry. It was as if she was standing on a mountain top, alone and helpless.

But before she had time to think about it, she brought up the fact that Concubine Jing had used the prescription, "It's just that the prescription was too overbearing, and I don't know if it will have any effect on the Sixth Prince.

Sister, please remember to ask the imperial physician to come and check the pulse more often, so as to avoid causing the Sixth Prince to suffer."

"I am indeed worried that the prescription may have some effect on Sixth Prince. I have asked the imperial physician to look at him repeatedly within the past month."

Speaking of the Sixth Prince, Concubine Jing finally smiled, "He is in good health, very strong, can eat and sleep well on weekdays, and I don't need to worry about him at all.

To be honest with you, sometimes I even feel a little lost because I can’t put a crying child to sleep.”

Seeing Concubine Jing like this, Lingrong couldn't say anything to spoil the mood.

Anyway, the imperial physician trusted by Concubine Jing has already examined him, and he is likely to understand the Sixth Prince's condition better than herself.

"As Youning grew older, he became more clingy and crybaby. His sister couldn't sleep well for a long time because of the noise.

If you like, I will bring Youning over to sleep with you for one night, so that I can experience the joy of coaxing a child to sleep."

"I don't mind, but I'm afraid you, my sister, can't bear to do it."

Seeing that Lingrong no longer mentioned those unpleasant things, the atmosphere between the two of them became much more relaxed. From talking about children to ceremonies, there were experiences that could be shared everywhere.

Before they knew it, the two of them were chatting until late. During this time, many people came to give gifts, but because Ling Rong was there, they were unable to have a good chat with Concubine Jing.

Only when no one else came did Ling Rong stand up and say goodbye. She had been acting as a shield for the entire afternoon, and it was time for her to return to the palace and rest.

"My sister is now a concubine, and her future will be smooth sailing. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to help you."

Lingrong recalled Concubine Jing's words and knew that she wanted to cut ties with her. She decided to remain neutral in the palace and never get involved in the disputes among concubines again.

Lingrong didn't want to force her, so she smiled and comforted Concubine Jing, saying that even if she couldn't help anymore, they were still sisters.

Only Zhaoshui was a little indignant about this matter, but thinking that the young lady had not said anything, she did not want to speak ill of Concubine Jing in front of the young lady.

"Zhao Shui, why are you so shy? If you have anything to say, just say it."

“…I just feel that Imperial Concubine Jing is a little too ruthless.

After successfully giving birth to the prince, she wanted to get away and even said bluntly that she would no longer help the young lady.

But if it weren't for the young master's help, Concubine Jing would have died, how could she have given birth to a child or even become a concubine?"

"It was the imperial physician who helped Concubine Jing give birth to a child, not me, so there is no need for Concubine Jing to be grateful to me.

Now she holds the position of Imperial Concubine and has a prince raised by her.

Whether she likes it or not, the Sixth Prince is the strongest contender for the throne."

"In that case, Imperial Concubine Jing should not give up on the young lady, who is such a powerful ally."

Zhaoshui didn't quite understand Concubine Jing's choice. Instead of taking a step back to show that she was not willing to fight, it would be better for her to further build up her own power so that the Empress would not dare to attack her easily.

"If I were to choose, I would not give up." Lingrong agreed with Zhaoshui's statement, "But Concubine Jing's concerns are not unreasonable. Everything is excessive or insufficient. We must always stop and think carefully before we can make the right choice."

"Empress Jing has been thinking for nearly a month. Is her decision still to forbear?

But the Sixth Prince is a real prince. Even if Concubine Jing did not show any desire to compete for him, the Sixth Prince would still be guarded against by the other princes and even the concubines."

Zhaoshui has listened to Lingrong's analysis of the current situation in the palace many times these days, but no matter what, she feels that Concubine Jing's choice is wrong.

“Now that I think about it, Concubine Jing is probably very concerned about the fact that it would interfere with her sexual life.

She was worried that she would make the emperor dislike her, which would in turn affect the Sixth Prince.

I thought it would be better to retreat while the tide is still, and strive for a reputation in front of the emperor that I am not competitive, virtuous and kind."
