An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 271: Court Judgment
It was not until the next morning that Ling Rong and others learned that Zhen Huan had been punished and expelled from the palace.
Concubine Tian said that she was lucky, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Then Zhen was finally deposed. After going to Ganlu Temple this time, she should not think about returning to the palace.
In a couple of days I will bribe a few more nuns to torture Zhen Huan."
Concubine Tian gritted her teeth. When she thought about continuing to torture Zhen Huan, she wished she could rush over and whip Zhen Huan twice herself.
"You, instead of thinking about how to torture her, why not take good care of your body? Have you completely forgotten what Doctor He said?"
When Concubine Tian heard Ling Rong mention He Anming, she immediately wilted. Her health was very bad. In order to save her life, she took medicine seriously and took good care of her body. Finally, she showed a little improvement.
However, since she rejected Concubine Qi's visit, Concubine Tian found that the pain in her abdomen gradually disappeared and she felt refreshed.
As slow as she was, she knew that something was wrong with Concubine Qi, but she just didn't know what means she used to harm her.
But now is a good opportunity to take revenge on Zhen Huan. There is nothing wrong in doing something that makes yourself happy while taking care of your body. It is a good way to relax your body and mind.
"I will take care of her body, but we can't give up on Zhen Huan. We can't let her live too well."
Ling Rong didn't care how Zhen Huan lived. She just gave a casual advice, "You can do whatever you want, but remember to be careful, lest someone spots you and reports you to the emperor."
"The Emperor has already abolished her. Even if he knew, what can he do? At most, he would just scold me."
Noble Lady Tian didn't care. She didn't want to continue talking about Zhen Huan, but mentioned the maid in Yongshou Palace. "I heard that a maid was assigned to your Chengqian Palace? I advise you to be careful. I'm worried that someone will bribe her and use her as a pawn to harm you."
"I will be careful. The maid is just cleaning the periphery and won't get close to me."
The palace maid that Concubine Tian was talking about was Tang Di, but Tang Di was actually Ling Rong's person secretly. Now that Zhen Huan has left the palace, she has a legitimate opportunity to serve Ling Rong.
In fact, Lingrong wanted her to serve Concubine Qi, but she didn't expect that the Queen would intervene in the allocation of palace servants this time. Even Concubine Jing couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.
Fortunately, the people assigned to us are our own people, so at least there won’t be any problems with safety.
It's just that the Queen had indeed been in contact with Tang Di before, and Lingrong asked her to pretend to agree, wanting to see what other methods the Queen would use.
But the Queen remained silent, so Lingrong could only remain on edge, fearing that the Queen had bribed someone else besides Tangdi.
With something on her mind, Lingrong no longer had the heart to chat with Concubine Tian. She said goodbye to Concubine Tian and did not even dare to wander around the Imperial Garden. She returned to Chengqian Palace.
As soon as she entered the door, Tang Di came to greet her. Looking at her expression, Ling Rong knew that something had happened.
The group hurried into the main hall. After Ling Rong sat down, Tang Di told her what the Queen had ordered. "Today, when I went to get fabric, a maid named Huichun gave me a piece of cloth and told me to make clothes or quilts for you to use day and night."
As Tang Di spoke, he brought the cloth that was placed by the window.
It was a piece of lake-blue satin embroidered with wisteria flowers. It felt refreshing at the sight, but its fragrance was a little unusual and was not found in ordinary fabrics.
"This fabric smells really good."
"Huichun said that this cloth was newly made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was specially fumigated with a rare spice, which gave it a fragrant aroma that lasted for months."
Ling Rong smelled the fragrance and found it was a kind of fumigant called Qianjin Yueling. There was nothing unusual about this fragrance and there would be no problem even if a pregnant woman used it.
But Lingrong had a feeling that something was wrong, so she asked Tangdi to take the fabric away temporarily and wait for the imperial physician to examine it before making a decision on how to deal with the matter.
Soon, He Anming, who got the news, rushed over and carefully examined the fabric. "My lady, in addition to the common incense ingredients such as cloves, agarwood, and frankincense oil, there is also a kind of five-element grass on this fabric.
Its roots are white and have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
However, pregnant women cannot take it, as it will cause miscarriage after taking it for one or two months.
A large amount of juice must have been collected on this fabric and smeared on it. Although it still has certain effects, it is definitely not as good as oral administration.
If you are lucky, you won’t have any problems wearing clothes made of this fabric.”
Ling Rong hummed, "We can't gamble on things like luck.
But I can't burn the cloth directly, and I feel a little uneasy just leaving it there.
Doctor He, do you have any way to remove the five elements grass from this cloth?"
He Anming pondered for a while before offering a solution, "Put the cloth in boiling water, and the fragrance of both the Five Elements Grass and the cloth will be released along with the steam.
But if you do that, the scent of the fabric will disappear as well."
Ling Rong knew how to mix the Qianjin Yueling fragrance herself, so she wasn't worried about the fragrance dissipating. "It's okay, first take care of the cloth. The most important thing is to avoid danger."
He Anming responded and called Zhaoshui and Tangdi to go with him to process the cloth.
After the three people left, Aunt Fang Jing finally spoke, "My queen, are you planning to make new clothes with this cloth?"
Seeing that Aunt Fang Jing had discovered her plan, Ling Rong no longer concealed it. She gently stroked her belly, "This way, the person behind this can change his target and stop keeping his eyes on Chengqian Palace all day."
“This Five Elements Herb is actually not a poison and can even be taken or used as medicine. It has no adverse effects on ordinary people.
Even if the palace maids tasted the food, it would be difficult to find anything abnormal.
After all, Tang Di had served Concubine Xu and was bribed by the Empress, so I didn't really trust her.
Your Majesty, don't let Tang Di touch your daily life from now on, especially when it comes to taking food, what do you think?"
Lingrong nodded. She had never allowed Tangdi to touch her food. She went to get the cloth today just to make Tangdi think that she trusted her completely.
After all, Lingrong only got to know this girl after she entered the palace. Before that, it was because she and she had a common enemy, Zhen Huan, that she obeyed her orders wholeheartedly.
Ling Rong was not sure whether he would still be as loyal as before.
"As for food, the emperor has allowed Jingren Palace to have a small kitchen, so all the food will be handed over to Aunt Fangjing.
As for Fanglin and Fanghua, I still hope they can stay with Youning, so that I can deal with the Queen with peace of mind."
Fang Jing knew how hard her master worked, so she naturally took care of all the food matters, "Yes, Madam, I will definitely not ask for any problems with the food.
Fanglin and Fanghua came from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, so there was no need to worry about their loyalty.
After all, the emperor would never do anything to his own daughter, and with the two of them around, the princess would be safer."
During the conversation, Zhao Shui came in and said, "Madam, the cloth has been processed. We can use it after it dries."
"After it's completely dry, make a Qi dress. After all, it's the fabric sent by the Empress. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the Empress if I don't wear it?"
Zhaoshui nodded. After all, the material had been processed and making it into clothes would not affect the master.
"Then let me do it. I haven't made new clothes for you yet, Madam."
"Compared to this outerwear, I'm more looking forward to you making me a nightgown."
Zhaoshui suddenly thought of the pajamas that his master had made for the emperor. It seemed that his master was still somewhat dissatisfied with that matter, so he would think of making pajamas from time to time.
"Okay, I'll make this dress and pajamas too. I'll make whatever the queen likes for her."
"Look, our Zhaoshui is getting better and better." Lingrong happily praised Zhaoshui to Aunt Fangjing, "But I can't make you too tired, I will be reluctant to do so."
After a few days, Zhaoshui really finished making the dress. Fortunately, Manchu clothing does not deliberately modify the waist, so even though Lingrong is now pregnant, it will not have any impact.
As Zhaoshui was getting dressed, he sighed at the excellent pattern and texture of the fabric, "It's really a waste of God's gift to use such good material to harm others."
"For you and me, it is indeed a rare good thing, but for the Queen, it is no different from those coarse cloths."
Lingrong lowered her head to admire the clothes on her body. The beautiful wisteria flowers were lifelike and seemed to be better than those she had embroidered.
"How could that be? The flowers your majesty embroidered are more beautiful, just like the wind just blew and the dew just condensed.
The patterns on this fabric are too realistic, so they are definitely not comparable to the embroidery of the Empress."
"You are always praising me."
Ling Rong smiled and tapped Zhao Shui's forehead, "Let's wear this today. We just happened to be going to discuss matters with Concubine Jing, and we also want to let the Empress know that we have the opportunity to wear the fabric she gave us."
Zhaoshui tied Lingrong's hair into a bun again and then accompanied her to Xianfu Palace.
Soon, the Queen Mother learned the news that Lingrong had put on that dress, and she eased up on urging Tangdi.
Relying on this dress, Lingrong spent two months of a stable life.
But after two months, signs of miscarriage should have appeared.
For this reason, in order to continue to confuse the Queen, Ling Rong had to ask He Anming and Wei Lin to cooperate with her, and she used the excuse of abdominal discomfort to rest in Chengqian Palace.
"Today, the Emperor dismissed Imperial Doctor Zhang from his post and sent him back to his hometown to retire.
The position of the judge is now vacant. Do you have any idea now?"
Through the hazy gauze curtain, He Anming finished taking Ling Rong's pulse. When he heard Ling Rong's question, he paused for a long while before replying with a "hmm".
“Although you are willing, the person the emperor trusts the most is actually Doctor Zhou.
So it is not as easy as you think to sit on the Supreme Court bench.”
Ling Rong's words were indeed true. The emperor had already wanted to kill He Anming before, so naturally he would not trust him as much as he did at the beginning.
But when it comes to medical skills, Doctor Zhou and He Anming are no match. After all, the latter is very young, but his medical skills are unmatched in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
If he were the same age as Doctor Zhou, I'm afraid his medical skills would be far superior to his.
Wei Lin's medical skills were indeed good, but he had not shown his face in front of the emperor too often. It was not easy to be a court judge, but Ling Rong had a way. She sent him a sixth-rank imperial physician to do the job.
"Doctor Zhou is older and has the support of the public in the Imperial Hospital, so he is indeed the best choice for the position of judge.
But my medical skills are not bad either, so I still want to compete for the title."
This desire to climb up is not much different from that of the women in the harem.
Lingrong sighed in her heart, but there was not much she could do for He Anming. She could only try her best to persuade the emperor and talk to him.
But it was different for Concubine Tian. The Fucha clan behind her could help a lot. She could make the competing Imperial Doctor Zhou sick or die, and then the matter would be settled.
"I can't help you much. If you want to take that position, I think you still need the help of Concubine Tian."
"I will also bring this up with Concubine Tian. If I cannot take that position, it can only be said to be God's will."
He Anming packed his medicine box, not feeling any loss because he could not sit in the position of judge. "If Wei Lin can become the judge, he can also help the queen. The queen may feel more at ease."
“Everything depends on the emperor’s decision, but no matter who makes the judgement between you two, I will feel at ease.
As long as you don't help others to harm me, I will do everything I can to help you get the seat you want."
He Anming stared at the gauze curtain for a while. He suddenly wanted to ask a question: if one day, he and Wei Lin both wanted to sit on the same seat, who would Concubine Sheng choose?
But it was a bit strange to ask this question. He even felt that this behavior, which was like children fighting over candy, was a bit too funny.
So he simply picked up the medicine box, told Lingrong to take care of herself, and hurriedly left Chengqian Palace.
Ling Rong naturally didn't know what he was thinking. What she was planning now was how to make the court judge become an imperial physician she could trust.
In order to ask the emperor to consider He Anming and Wei Lin more, Ling Rong took the initiative to send someone to invite the emperor over, using the excuse of stomach discomfort.
Since the emperor was poisoned that day, his attitude towards Lingrong has changed greatly. When he heard that Lingrong was unwell, he hurried over.
He Anming, who had just left not long ago, was invited back, but he did not show any abnormality. He echoed Ling Rong and described the current situation of the royal heir as a little dangerous, but completely under control.
After He Anming left, Ling Rong took the opportunity to talk about his excellent medical skills.
But in order to prevent the emperor from noticing anything unusual, she also deliberately mentioned Wei Lin and Doctor Zhou.
The speaker had intentions, and the listener also had intentions. The emperor carefully weighed the situations of these imperial doctors, and finally had to send He Anming to the position of judge.
