An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After waiting for a whole night, the Queen still did not hear the news of Concubine Tian's miscarriage.

Clearly, Concubine Chun had sent someone to say that the pollen had been delivered to the inner room, but Concubine Tian was still fine. It was really puzzling.

Although the Queen was skilled in medicine, she had never taken Concubine Tian's pulse and could not be sure of her true pulse condition.

For a moment, the Empress began to wonder if Concubine Tian had discovered her and Concubine Chun's plan and had made some preparations in advance.

After all, something like hay fever is unlikely to take a person's life immediately. If medicine is used in advance... I'm afraid the effect will not be as obvious as the first time.

The queen sighed deeply. She felt that things were going wrong recently and she didn't know if she had offended some villain.

She only said she believed in Buddhism but she didn't in her heart, and she would never do anything to pray to gods for safety.

Besides, Jianqiu goes to the Buddhist temple to chant scriptures and worship Buddha on her behalf every day. If her sincerity is useful, her eldest brother will not leave her, and she will not be disfavored by the emperor and have only the title of queen.

"Your Majesty, do you have a headache?" Jianqiu was tying the empress's hair and saw that she was frowning. "Last night, Concubine Chun took action, and Imperial Doctor Zhang was in charge in Chuxiu Palace. She must have succeeded by now and is just waiting to be discovered."

Jianqiu's words of comfort did not make the Queen's worried expression disappear. She paused her hair-brushing movements and said, "It's still early. I'll go to Chuxiu Palace to get some information. If I don't succeed, I can still add fuel to the fire."

"Forget it. There is no news at this time. I am afraid that Concubine Chun has already failed.

If you take action again, you will definitely be caught by those who are waiting for you, so it is better to take it slow."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jianqiu paused what she was doing. In her heart, she still wanted to help the Queen solve her problems, but after a moment she suppressed these thoughts and focused on tying the Queen's hair.

Although there was no need to pay respects today, some people still rushed to Jingren Palace early in the morning.

When the Queen arrived at the main hall, the two imperial physicians Zhang Mi and He Anming, as well as Sang'er who was beside Concubine Tian, ​​had been waiting for a long time.

When the Queen asked, Sang'er could not wait to tell her everything he had found out. The pollen on the window frame, the petals by the window, and the window that was deliberately pushed open were all evidence of a deliberate murder.

In fact, there was another thing, that is, Doctor Zhang deliberately put medicine in the tea, but He Anming did not tell Sang'er and the Queen about this, but only secretly told Su Peisheng who was ordered to visit Concubine Tian.

The Queen Mother cannot be trusted. He Anming has seen this clearly and naturally will not hand over any evidence to the Queen.

"I will find out all of this. The most important thing right now is whether Concubine Tian and the royal heir are safe?" The Queen looked at Zhang Mi with concern, but unfortunately Zhang Mi shook his head and turned his gaze to He Anming again.

"Doctor Zhang slept soundly last night, so I was the one who took the pulse of Concubine Tian." He Anming bowed, "There was a lot of pollen in the room, causing Concubine Tian's face and throat to swell to varying degrees.

In order to prevent Concubine Tian from continuing to suffer, she was sent back to the Yanxi Palace overnight."

"You are quite efficient." The Queen's tone did not reveal her emotions, but He Anming immediately bowed and saluted, saying that he was overstepping his authority.

"Forget it. You are also worried about Concubine Tian and the royal heir. There is nothing wrong with this decision." The queen did not reprimand He Anming. After all, she had to take emergency measures and even the emperor would not punish her.

However, the rules must be emphasized, otherwise the harem will be in chaos.

Fortunately, He Anming was a person who listened carefully to the lecture, so the Queen was not too angry at this time. But the only difficult thing now was that Concubine Tian had returned to the Yanx Palace, and it would be even more difficult to find an opportunity to deal with her.

Concubine Chun is useless. Not only did she fail to get the job done, but I also have to clean up her mess again.

We suffered a series of failures within just two days. If this had happened earlier, we would have better asked Cao Qinmo to do it this time.

The queen was quite upset at this time, but it was too late to regret since things had come to this point. She might as well think of some way to make up for it.

"I have already known about this matter. I will ask Concubine Xin to cooperate with me to find out who did this."

"I would like to thank the Queen on behalf of our master." Sang'er immediately bowed. The Queen did not want to keep them any longer, so she asked them to leave.

Not long after everyone left, Doctor Zhang returned to Jingren Palace to pay a visit to the Queen Mother.

"Tell me in detail what happened last night, Doctor Zhang. I don't want to hear lies. You should understand that."

"I understand, but..." Zhang Mi hesitated for a moment, and then repeated what happened last night, "I drugged He Anming, but it was I who fell asleep. I'm afraid he already knows about my relationship with the Queen.

Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so nosy, but if you really want to deal with Concubine Tian, ​​you can’t keep He Anming.”

"He is just an ordinary imperial physician. If you, as the judge of the court, can't solve the problem, then I think there is no need for you to take on this position."

"Your Majesty, He Anming is very trusted by the Emperor. I am afraid that I cannot do this alone."

The Queen looked at Zhang Mi for a while, and only spoke slowly after seeing beads of sweat on his forehead, "Before Concubine Hui passed away, it was Imperial Doctor He who took her pulse, right?"

"This... this happened too long ago. I have to go back to the Imperial Hospital and check the register to find out."

"No need to check, it's him."

The Empress Dowager was very impressed. After all, Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu had an affair and were pregnant with an illegitimate child, and the Empress knew it very well. Although Shen Meizhuang was still alive in name, she had actually died in the epidemic long ago.

And this He Anming was the imperial physician who discovered that Shen Meizhuang lied about her pregnancy - he knew that the bastard in Shen Meizhuang's belly was Wen Shichu's. Knowing this secret was like a death warrant for He Anming.

After all, how could the emperor be willing to let others know that he was betrayed by his favorite concubine and almost raised someone else's child?

Although the Queen still loved the Emperor, she couldn't help laughing in her heart. You coveted Rouze, that bitch who already had an engagement, and you deserved to be betrayed by your favorite concubine.

Soon, the secret that you don't want others to know will be revealed, but as your wife, I will help you deal with this extremely embarrassing matter.

As long as you ask me, as long as you are willing to ask me.

The Queen laughed happily in her heart, but the expression on her face became increasingly solemn. Zhang Mi was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe. He could only behave politely and let the Queen's gaze fall on him.

"There is something I need you to do." The Queen did not give Zhang Mi any chance to refuse. This matter was very simple. She just asked him to spread the word among his colleagues that Wen Shichu's death was related to Concubine Hui.

The Queen intentionally did not mention the dragon fetus. After all, the more unfounded the rumor was, the faster it would spread. By then, if she sent someone to mix in a little more truth, it would be enough to make the Emperor suspect He Anming - after all, he was the ruler of a country, and the Queen would not want to embarrass him too much.

"I understand. I will start working on this matter in the next few days."

"You've messed up a lot of things. I'm giving you one last chance. If you can't do it well again, you know the result."

"Your humble servant...understood." Zhang Mi bowed deeply. He did not dare to hesitate any longer and spread the rumor that day.

However, for the time being, these words cannot be turned into a sharp sword and cannot immediately achieve the effect that the Queen wants.

A few days later, the Queen still failed to find the real culprit, but the purchase of flowers was related to Concubine Chun. In order to stop the Fucha family from making trouble, the Emperor still symbolically punished Concubine Chun - confinement for seven days to reflect on herself, and a fine of two months' monthly salary.

As the saying goes, "Tear down the east wall to repair the west wall", the monthly allowance that was deducted from Concubine Chun soon became an ornament in Concubine Tian's dressing box. However, this compensation was just a drizzle for Concubine Tian, ​​and the emperor knew it was not enough, so he personally rewarded her with more things.

But Concubine Chun had the Seventh Prince, and she was lively and lovely, so it was easy for her to regain the emperor's favor.

Fortunately, Concubine Tian's health had not recovered yet, so she was unable to pay her respects to the Empress, otherwise, who knows what kind of quarrel the two would have had.

As for Lingrong, she followed the trace of Huasui and found that it was Jianqiu. As expected, the Queen Mother was the mastermind behind this incident.

However, even if this matter was reported to the emperor, only one Huasui would be eliminated. For Lingrong, if Jianqiu could be brought down as well, she would be able to make a comeback.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor He wants to see you."

"Doctor He? Today is not the day for him to check Youning's pulse, right?"

Ling Rong was a little confused. Concubine Tian had been in very poor health these days, so He Anming had put all his energy on Concubine Tian. Youning's routine consultation had been replaced by Wei Lin. He had no reason to come to Chengqian Palace. Could it be that... Concubine Tian had something to tell him?

"Please ask him to come in. He may have news about Concubine Tian to tell us."

Zhao Shui responded, stopped what she was doing, and invited Doctor He, who was standing outside the door, in.

He Anming bowed as he did every time, and there was no sign of anxiety on his face. Ling Rong was sure that nothing had happened to Concubine Tian, ​​and her worries were put to rest.

"Doctor He, there's no need to be so polite. Today is not the day for you to take my pulse, but do you or Concubine Tian need my help with something?"

"It's Concubine Tian. She asked me to come here to express my gratitude and apologize."

Ling Rong frowned slightly. She knew the reason for the thanks, but why the apology?

"Empress Tian said that she had misjudged the efficacy of the medicine and shouldn't have ignored the advice and come to the flower viewing banquet, let alone walked under the flower stand."

When talking about these things, even He Anming couldn't help but sigh, "Empress Tianpin said that she wanted everyone to think that her hay fever had been cured a long time ago, so that everyone would give up the idea of ​​using this method to murder her.

But I didn't expect that I would end up making things worse and even caused Concubine Sheng to have a miscarriage."

Ling Rong shook her head and said, "My miscarriage has nothing to do with Concubine Tian. It was just because I stepped on the osmanthus hair oil and almost fell down.

Please ask Imperial Doctor He to pass a message to Concubine Tian on my behalf, so that she won't misunderstand. It's undesirable to be stressed out during pregnancy."

"Yes," He Anming replied, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he hesitated and said, "Why don't you let me take your Majesty's pulse again? That way, I can adjust the prescription for you and help you get well soon."

"What you need to do now is to take good care of Concubine Tian."

Ling Rong refused without a second thought. She was not in labor at all, so naturally she did not need to take any medicine. "Wei Lin has checked my pulse, and there is no major problem.

So there was no need to take the pulse again, and Imperial Doctor He told Concubine Tian to just be at ease.

One more thing, tell Concubine Tian to take good care of herself and try not to leave the Yanxi Palace before giving birth."

"...I understand." He Anming cupped his hands. He really had nothing to say this time, so he bowed and left.

"Doctor He is very conscientious in his duties."

Zhaoshui said this without any context, and she didn't expect her master to respond, so she packed up her embroidery things and went out to get tea for Lingrong.

Ling Rong just felt that Zhao Shui was a little weird today, but she didn't think too deeply about the meaning of that sentence. After all, she still had to think of some way to drag Jian Qiu into the water.

After much thought, it would be easiest to use Huasui to fish Jianqiu out. However, Huasui is now close to the Empress, and it would be difficult for Lingrong to find an opportunity to turn her against the Empress.

Ling Rong had thought about finding an excuse to ask the Empress Dowager for the maid to be by her side, but this unusual behavior would surely alert the Empress Dowager, and she would not have the opportunity to bribe Hua Sui at all.

not to mention……

The Queen Mother has never relied solely on money to bribe people. Hua Sui's entire family is in the hands of the Queen. Even if there is such an opportunity, Ling Rong does not have the ability to do it.

"My lady, are you worried again?"

"Yes, the Queen will definitely not be implicated in the osmanthus hair oil incident this time, but I think we should also take Jianqiu down with us."

Zhaoshui nodded and said, "Now we have found out that the osmanthus hair oil that Huasui used was given by Jianqiu, but the witness was a little maid in Jingren Palace.

I am worried that she will change her confession. Then our complaint will become slander, and I am afraid we will be reprimanded by the emperor."

“I think so too. The only way now is to inform the emperor privately about this matter.

If the emperor sends someone to investigate, there will be a chance to convict Jianqiu."

Ling Rong sighed. If she told the Emperor privately now, she would be clearly saying that she did not trust the Empress. She didn't know what the Emperor would think and whether he would become suspicious of her because of this.

“But I am worried that the Emperor will throw the matter to the Empress to investigate, just like he did to Concubine Tian.

The Queen will definitely protect her own people, and the truth will be even harder to find out."

"Tonight...please help me invite Xiao Xiazi over," Ling Rong hesitated for a long time, and finally thought of another breakthrough, "Turn what we found out into what Xiao Xiazi found out.

Su Peisheng has great faith in his apprentice and will certainly inform the emperor of this matter."
