An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Now that Prince Guo had been found, the Emperor asked Xia Qian to put aside the matter of Concubine Tian for the time being and focus on finding out how many secret agents Prince Guo had left in the palace.

As for Gao Yi, the emperor had no plans to reveal his relationship with Prince Guo for the time being, but he threw him into the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation under the pretext of investigating the matter of Concubine Tian.

Gao Yi confessed to this matter very quickly. After all, Concubine Chun just wanted to buy more flowers from outside the palace herself, which was not a serious crime at all.

But what Gao Yi didn't expect was that even though he had already confessed the matter, the Ministry of Punishment still had no intention of letting him go. Instead, they replaced him with a new group of people to continue the interrogation.

This time, the interrogation was no longer about a small matter like buying flowers, but a serious matter involving Prince Guo, which could result in the loss of his head.

Because of Prince Guo's promise, Gao Yi dreamed of becoming the chief eunuch of the imperial palace. However, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Not only did his dream fail to come true, but he also had to endure severe torture for it. He didn't know when he would die.

But he was just a small follower who delivered information, such as where the emperor would stay overnight and which concubine he favored.

But occasionally, Prince Guo would learn about Concubine Xu's preference for flowers through him, and then use the flowers to convey a few lines of poetry that he couldn't understand.

However, there was one thing that Gao Yi never dared to tell Xia Qian, and that was that the assassin who assassinated the emperor was still in the palace, and that was the maid in the flower room - Cai Ping.

Gao Yi would only add insult to injury by harboring the assassin who plotted to murder the emperor. If his closest relatives were still alive, I'm afraid all nine generations of his clan would be killed.

But as long as he doesn't give in, Caiping will stay in the palace forever, and it is not impossible that he will kill the old emperor one day.

At the same time, Su Peisheng went to see the Queen Mother with Gao Yi's verbal evidence and the registration book. He told the Queen Mother that the Emperor already knew about all this, but the Queen still needed to find out the whole story.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"

Su Peisheng bowed again and shook his head, not daring to fabricate what the emperor said, "But the emperor is concerned about the queen, but he is busy meeting Master Zhang Tingyu, so he really doesn't have more time to ask the servant to pass on the message."

The Empress could naturally hear Su Peisheng's words of comfort, but Su Peisheng's attitude also represented the Emperor's attitude. At this time, the Emperor should not have suspected her yet.

"I understand. Eunuch Su, please go and serve the emperor first. It's hot in summer, so remind the emperor to use more chrysanthemums to reduce internal heat.

As for Concubine Chun's matter, I will find out as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Peisheng responded immediately. He didn't say much. After confirming that the Queen had no instructions, he left Chuxiu Palace.

At this time, Concubine Tian's physical condition had basically stabilized. She could occasionally wake up from a coma, but after calling "Your Majesty" twice, she fell into a coma again.

Many people in Chuxiu Palace have left, the only ones left are Xia Dongchun, Xin Guiren and Chun Guiren.

Xia Dongchun and Xin Guiren were just worried about Tianpin and wanted to wait for her to wake up. Chun Guiren was waiting for the queen, but she didn't expect that what she did had been exposed.

"Noble Lady Xin, Noble Lady Xia, the two of you should go and see Concubine Tian."

Xia Dongchun's eyes lit up for a moment, and she immediately pulled Concubine Xin up. It was not because she guessed that the Queen had something to say to Concubine Chun, but she simply wanted to see how Concubine Tian was doing.

But Concubine Xin was not as stupid as Xia Dongchun. She understood what the Empress meant almost instantly, and even guessed that this incident was related to Concubine Chun.

It’s a pity that I can’t be with the Queen Mother to hear what mistake Concubine Chun made.

Concubine Xin took Xia Dongchun's hand, slowed down her pace and tried hard to listen to what the Empress would say, but unfortunately the Empress didn't say a word until the two of them left the main hall.

"Empress..." Concubine Chun was about to speak, but was forced to swallow her words back by a look from the Empress.

"Please accompany me for a walk. I have been sitting in the hall for a long time and my body is very tired."

"Yes." Concubine Chun also reacted at this time. This was neither Jingren Palace nor Suiyuxuan. She had to be on guard against the possibility of ears behind the walls.

She followed the Empress step by step, and walked out of Chuxiu Palace. The Empress spoke up, "The Emperor has found out about Gao Yi, and he has confessed everything about you transporting flowers from outside the palace."

"This servant is so soft-hearted that he confessed after just two whippings." Concubine Chun was not very frightened. She thought for a while and asked, "Empress, have the Emperor's people found out anything else?"

"Not yet, but the sticking pole department's food and wages are not eaten in vain. I'm afraid we can find out the whole story tonight. Have you thought of a countermeasure?"

“It’s not a big mistake to transport flowers, after all, we have to hold a flower viewing party.

Even if the emperor finds out that it was me who suggested wearing the veil, so what?

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Tian had hay fever, so no one would think that she would dare to walk under the flower stand.

So, how could I possibly be scheming?"

Concubine Chun rolled her eyes slightly. She and the Empress had originally intended to use the flower stand to plot against Concubine Sheng, but they did not expect that Concubine Tian would become the scapegoat.

Fortunately, Huasui was smart and knew how to change her gaze in time and poured the osmanthus hair oil at Concubine Sheng's feet.

The only pity is that neither of them had a miscarriage and they were also discovered by the emperor.

"You are smart, but Concubine Tian and Concubine Xia are not as good as you. But..." The Queen hesitated, "The Emperor has doubts about you, and it can't be eliminated with just a few words."

“Of course I know that this series of actions cannot go unsuspected.

But unless Concubine Tian insists that someone led her under the flower stand, on what basis can I convict her?

As for the Emperor...I still have the Seventh Prince, right?"

It was naturally a good thing that Concubine Chun knew everything, but when she mentioned the appearance of the Seventh Prince, it really made the Empress feel a little disgusted.

Just because you have a prince, do you think you have everything?

The queen sneered in her heart. At this moment, the smiling Concubine Chun seemed to be exactly the same as Rouze, making her want to tear her into pieces.

"The Queen?"

"It's good that you know what's going on. The emperor asked me to investigate this matter thoroughly because he wanted to let you go.

But you also need to know how to restrain yourself temporarily. If you want to continue to deal with Concubine Tian, ​​you must find a scapegoat."

Chun Changzai had no hatred towards Concubine Tian and Concubine Sheng. She only took action against them because of the Queen's instructions.

Now that the truth has been exposed, the Queen actually wants me to deal with them. She really thinks I am the brainless Nian Shilan.

"It's uncertain whether Concubine Tian can keep the baby this time. If she can, let her get in touch with some pollen in a few days," Concubine Chun smiled, "In this summer, flowers are in full bloom, and who knows what the wind will blow over."

Using the wind to blow pollen... The queen murmured to herself, this is indeed a good method, it is really worth a try.

However, Concubine Tian in the Yanxi Palace was on high alert and had no chance to bribe the palace servants to harm her.

Now that Concubine Tian is in Chuxiu Palace, if I ask her to stay overnight and then go back, Concubine Chun will have the opportunity to take action again.

"Concubine Tian had a miscarriage today, so it is not suitable for her to move around. I will ask her to stay in Chuxiu Palace for one night.

She only brought two maids with her, so she still needed to send a few more people to guard her.

Your Suiyuxuan is close by, so you should take some more care of Concubine Tian."

Almost at the same time, Concubine Chun realized that the Empress wanted her to take action again tonight.

But the emperor was suspicious of me, and he might have sent people to observe me secretly a long time ago. I really shouldn't act so quickly.

"Your Majesty, today is not a good time to take action, this concubine..."

"Neither you nor I have planted any spies in Yanxi Palace.

When Concubine Tian returns, will you still have a chance?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Chun, her tone full of undisguised sarcasm, "I wonder if the matter of Lady Fang Jia accepting bribes can be dealt with soon.

The grace of parents in raising children is greater than heaven, Concubine Chun, you should be a filial daughter. "

Concubine Chun clenched her hands, with that innocent and fake smile on her face, "Your Majesty is right, Chun'er knows what to do."

“It’s good to know. You are young and your mind is active, but you have to remember that thinking too much is not good.

What this palace lacks the most is... smart people."

The Queen had finished her lecture and had no intention of saying anything more to Concubine Chun. She went straight back to Chuxiu Palace and told everyone to keep Concubine Tian in Chuxiu Palace for the time being and send her back to Yanx Palace tomorrow when she was completely stable.

In order to reassure Concubine Tian, ​​the Queen specifically ordered Zhang Mi and He Anming to stay and watch over Concubine Tian all night.

With this arrangement, no one could raise any objections.

Even though Sang'er was worried that someone would attack his master again, he didn't dare to say a word.

After all, those were the words spoken by the Queen Mother, the mistress of the harem. How could she, a mere maid, dare not listen?

Fortunately, there is Doctor He here. He has superb medical skills and will definitely not put the master in any danger.

The only thing is that Imperial Physician Zhang Mi Zhang, he is secretly the Empress's man, who knows if he will take advantage of the opportunity of treating the Empress to harm her.

Sonny was so worried that he couldn't even fall asleep at night.

She leaned against the head of Concubine Tian's bed, her eyes fixed on the person on the couch.

It's just that he was already exhausted from running around today, and his emotions were very up and down, so when he was in such a quiet atmosphere, Sang'er began to feel sleepy uncontrollably.

She tried to open her eyes several times, but gradually lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Soon, the window of the inner room was pushed open, and a light breeze blew in. Sang'er, who had just fallen asleep, felt a chill all over his body and could not help but hugging his arms.

But she did not wake up, she just hummed twice and fell into a deeper sleep.

After making sure that everyone in the room was asleep, the person outside the window slowly stood up and used a fan to blow all the collected pollen into the room bit by bit.

But the man still felt that the pollen was not enough, so he picked up a big bunch of flowers, whipped the flowers a few times with a cattail leaf fan, and continued to use the fan to fan the pollen on the stamens into the room.

If someone saw this scene, it would be quite funny, but this pollen was deadly to Concubine Tian.

Although it's funny, it's also a bit scary.

When the pollen was almost gone, the man collected the flowers and quietly left under the cover of night.

Soon, Concubine Tian began to feel uncomfortable. She sneezed violently and soon woke up Sang'er who had just fallen asleep.

Sang'er's face was still confused due to sleepiness. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that something had happened to his master.

"Empress!" She hurried to the bed to check on Concubine Tian's condition, but Concubine Tian was still unconscious and could not give any response to Sang'er.

At this time, Sang'er was completely awake. Without much hesitation, she ran out immediately to find Doctor He who was guarding Chuxiu Palace.

Fortunately, He Anming was awake the whole time. When he heard Sang'er's voice, he quickly went to meet her.

"Doctor He, the queen has started sneezing again, and her eyes seem to be getting red and swollen."

"I'm afraid he was exposed to pollen again." He Anming quickly confirmed the situation. He turned around and glanced at Zhang Mi who was still sleeping, and went to visit Concubine Tian without any hesitation.

As expected, Concubine Tian developed symptoms again because she came into contact with pollen again.

But hay fever is an extremely interesting disease. If a patient is infected repeatedly, his tolerance will gradually increase over a short period of time, and it will not be as scary as when he was first infected.

"It's okay, Miss Sang'er, just clean Concubine Tian's mouth and nose.

Then sprinkle water indoors to increase the humidity so that the pollen cannot float around.

It won't take long for your symptoms to ease."

Sang'er nodded hurriedly. She asked another maid to take care of Concubine Tian, ​​and went outside to fetch some water.

Soon, Sang'er came back with some water, and after cleaning Concubine Tian's mouth and nose, the sneezing symptoms gradually disappeared.

In order to prevent Concubine Tian from continuing to be affected by the floating pollen, Sang'er followed He Anming's instructions and sprinkled water indoors.

He Anming gave up his seat and slowly moved back to the window. The window was half open, and the gentle breeze blew on his face, which actually perked up his somewhat sluggish nerves.

"This window...when was it opened?"

He Anming muttered to himself. He reached out to close the window, but his fingers touched some dust.

He twisted his fingertips, trying to rub off the dust, but found that the dust particles seemed a little too big. When he looked closer, he found that the large particles were the pollen on the stamens.

A strong twist left some yellow marks on the fingers.

Could it be that... someone sent the pollen in here on purpose?

He Anming leaned closer to the window frame and took a closer look, and indeed saw some pollen residue on the window pane.

There are so many of them, and some of them have stamens. I don't know how much effort the person put in to leave such obvious evidence.

“It seems that someone wants to attack Concubine Tian again tonight.

No wonder Imperial Doctor Zhang put a knockout drug in the tea. It seems he wanted to collude with the outside world to kill Concubine Tian."
