An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Ling Rong's cry of pain was heard, and the emperor just felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. He moved his feet slightly, and for a moment he didn't know whether to go out or in.

Su Peisheng had already left to find the imperial physician, and only Xiao Xiazi followed the emperor.

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, he could only ask the emperor to sit down, "Your Majesty, it will take some time for Concubine Sheng to give birth. You might as well sit down and have a good rest and wait slowly."

The emperor knew very well that he could not help at this moment, so he nodded and sat back down.

After a moment, he remembered to ask how the midwife was preparing.

"Your Majesty, according to the results of the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis, Concubine Sheng will not give birth for another seven or eight days.

Therefore, although this nanny has been selected in advance, she still needs to rest for a while before rushing to Chengqian Palace..."

Before Xiao Xiazi could finish, the emperor shouted angrily, "Why are you still resting at this moment? Concubine Sheng is about to give birth. Can she still endure the pain? Can you ask them to come over?"

Xiao Xiazi asked the emperor to calm down twice, "I'm afraid the maids are too lazy, I will go and urge them now, please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

As soon as the emperor nodded, Xiao Xiazi rushed out. He didn't dare to stay in such a dangerous place for long. If he made the emperor angry, he would be the only one in trouble.

The emperor waited for a long time, and his heart began to lift again when he heard Ling Rong's cries. Su Peisheng finally arrived with the imperial physician, but the emperor also took his anger out on him and scolded him.

Su Peisheng could only wipe his sweat, nod and bow, and apologize for being late, "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng is in critical condition, please ask the imperial physicians to diagnose her first.

When Concubine Sheng safely gives birth to an heir, I will come to apologize to her. Whether she rewards or punishes me, I will not complain at all."

The emperor also knew that childbirth was a very serious matter, so he waved his hand and called several imperial doctors in to take Concubine Sheng's pulse first.

Su Peisheng looked around and saw that there were no people around. He stood beside the emperor and whispered what he had just asked, "Your Majesty, I have asked several imperial physicians. Concubine Sheng has been taking good care of her pregnancy these past few days, but she is about to give birth. The entire Chengqian Palace has not been out for half a month.

From maids to eunuchs, everyone had their shifts arranged to ensure that there was always someone guarding Concubine Sheng.

Even the several doctors in the Imperial Hospital have agreed to take turns on duty in the hospital these days. Doctor Zhou and Doctor He haven't had a good rest for five or six days."

According to Su Peisheng, the entire Chengqian Palace was busy with Concubine Sheng's delivery, so naturally they had no time to build momentum for the unborn child.

How could the emperor not know that it was his own impatience that led to the current situation.

But those brothers who refused to admit defeat were making moves in secret. If they could bribe the concubines to assassinate him today, they could instigate the remaining Fourteenth Brother to rebel again tomorrow.

The ministers of the previous dynasty also had their own thoughts. When they heard some news, they hurried to take sides. Maybe they thought that I, the emperor, was getting old and could no longer manage state affairs.

Especially on the matter of the female doctor, those who had gone to see An Bihuai suddenly changed their tone and followed Fu Cha in shouting their support.

Besides, Concubine Tian, ​​the daughter of the Fucha family, has a very good relationship with Concubine Sheng, so how could he not be suspicious?

The emperor couldn't stop sighing, and the beads in his hand were clenched tightly. When he heard the news from Su Peisheng, he could no longer sit still.

"As for whether the servants of Chengqian Palace really haven't left the palace for half a month, we still need to investigate at this time, but the situation today is urgent, and I only have time to ask a few questions."

Su Peisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself that the ancients were right. No one knew better than him that serving the king was like serving a tiger.

"We will investigate this matter after Concubine Sheng gives birth."

Seeing the palace maids in the inner room boiling medicine and bringing hot water, the emperor felt even more anxious. If he had not come to the palace to question her today, Concubine Sheng might have been able to wait safely until the day of giving birth.

All the doctors and midwives would be ready by then, so there would be no need to be in such a rush like today.

Soon, Xiao Xiazi brought several midwives. The emperor wanted to scold them, but he also knew that childbirth was important, so he told them to make sure that Concubine Sheng and her child were safe, and then asked them to go in.

After the midwife communicated with the imperial physician, she confirmed Concubine Sheng's current condition. The two groups exchanged positions, and it was the turn of the imperial physicians to report the current situation to the emperor.

Since only He Anming and Wei Lin were taking the pulse, they said confidently that Concubine Sheng had a sudden premature birth because of her emotional state. "Your Majesty, your Majesty was in good health, but her amniotic fluid suddenly broke, which is really dangerous.

"I, your humble servant, and others have only temporarily confirmed that the prince is safe after taking his pulse, but I dare not make a firm statement as to the outcome."

"How is Concubine Sheng doing?"

He Anming and Wei Lin looked at each other, and they both bowed and saluted at the same time, "Your Majesty is in good health, but you are in a lot of pain. I don't know what stimulated you. I'm afraid you will easily lose your strength during childbirth."

Seeing that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker, Su Peisheng interrupted the two doctors and said, according to his limited understanding, "Will the ginseng slices be useful?"

"I and others have already prepared it, and it will indeed be of some use."

"That's good... That's good..." Su Peisheng muttered to himself, tilting his head to look at the emperor again, "Your Majesty, now that Concubine Sheng is giving birth, should we inform the Empress and the Imperial Concubine?"

The emperor hesitated for a while, but still shook his head, "Forget it, asking them to come here will only add two more people to worry. Chengqian Palace does not have any extra palace servants to serve, so it is enough for me to stay here."

Su Peisheng responded with a "yes" and stood aside quietly waiting for instructions. The cries of pain coming from the inner room continued, making the people outside who were unaware of the situation feel increasingly nervous.

Although the actual situation is not that dangerous, the pain is real. Even if you have made full preparations, you will inevitably step into the gates of hell of giving birth.

Whether the foot can be successfully retracted depends on the luck of the pregnant woman.

Fortunately, Ling Rong was lucky enough, and no one had time to attack her. After struggling for only half an hour, the eighth prince was born smoothly.

Ling Rong was so tired that she felt dizzy before her eyes. Before she could even take a look at the child, she fainted in a daze.

When he woke up, it was already evening. Zhaoshui held the Eighth Prince and sat beside Lingrong's bed, waiting for her to wake up.

"Your Majesty has finally woken up. You slept for such a long time. If I hadn't found that your pulse was still good, I would have asked Doctor He to come in and see you again."

Ling Rong nodded, but before she could say anything, Aunt Fang Jing held her head and fed her some warm water.

"The Eighth Prince is doing fine now, Your Majesty, just rest assured." Zhaoshui knew that Lingrong was worried about the child, so he hurriedly held the Eighth Prince and placed him next to Lingrong.

Ling Rong heaved a long sigh when she saw the dark skin. This son was a little too similar to the emperor. It seemed as if she could see at a glance that he was getting older.

"The Emperor has not yet given the Eighth Prince a name. He said he would go back and think about it carefully, and then discuss it with you, Your Majesty, to decide on a name that is suitable for the prince."

Lingrong touched her son's face, listened to what Zhaoshui said, and just hummed lightly.

The emperor may still have some doubts about himself and his child, so he is reluctant to give the name. But it is just a name, and the emperor will give it sooner or later.

The most urgent thing right now is that inexplicable rumor. Although it sounds outrageous, the emperor is so angry, so the matter it represents must not be that simple.

"What about the emperor?"

“The Emperor was originally waiting for the Empress, but because of some matters in the previous court, he hurried away with Su Peisheng.

But the Emperor was worried about the Majesty's condition, so he left Xiao Xiazi behind to listen to his instructions. "Majesty, do you want Xiao Xiazi to come in for questioning?"

Ling Rong still felt a little tired at this time, so she rejected the proposal, "Don't forget to reward the people in the palace, Xiao Xiazi and Eunuch Su are no exception, pack a thick purse for them."

Zhaoshui naturally agreed. She chattered on for a while, but when she turned around, she found that Lingrong had fallen asleep again.

The Eighth Prince lay beside Ling Rong, also closed his eyes, and fell into sleep together.

This sleep was very long. When Ling Rong woke up again, she barely felt that she had regained her strength. She even ate more porridge than usual.

Hearing that Lingrong had woken up, Xia Dongchun arrived the fastest. She first scolded the emperor and then continued to tell Lingrong the reason why the emperor was so angry - in the end it was still those rumors that caused the trouble, but this time Xia Dongchun was unable to find out who the source of the rumors was.

These rumors, whose source cannot be traced and which appear to be true, are often spread by the Queen.

Or, in other words, Lingrong's biggest enemy at the moment is the Empress Dowager. If anything unexpected happens to her, Lingrong will immediately suspect the Empress Dowager.

"Thank you for helping me investigate this rumor. I haven't recovered yet and I don't have much energy to investigate."

"You think I'm helping you check for free? You'll have to pay me back in the future."

Xia Dongchun glared at Lingrong rudely. Just then, Fanglin and Fanghua brought Youning and the Eighth Prince over. She immediately put on a smiling face and ran to play with Youning.

Fortunately, Youning was well-behaved and followed Xia Dongchun in repeating what she said seriously, calling her "Empress Xia".

Xia Dongchun played with Youning for a long time until Youning gradually felt sleepy. She happily waved goodbye and sat next to Lingrong again.

"Lady Xia was in such a good mood, playing with Youning for so long that I, as her mother, didn't even have the chance to hug her."

"Youning is in Chengqian Palace every day, and I'm not here. What's wrong with hugging her? You look so stingy, why don't I hug you too?" Xia Dongchun did what he said. He actually rushed over to hug Lingrong and patted her back quite vigorously.

In her past and present lives, Ling Rong had never been so close to the concubines in the harem. She widened her eyes and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Don't just stand there, this is a letter from your mother." Xia Dongchun shook the envelope in his hand. "Your mother has been sending letters to you quite frequently recently. Could something have happened at home?"

"Something did happen."

While opening the envelope, Ling Rong told Xia Dongchun about the bad things her father had done before. After her rebirth, Ling Rong had never seen her father again. Now when she talked about An Bihuai, it was as if she was talking about someone else.

Xia Dongchun frowned as he listened. There was a reason why An Bihuai could only be a county magistrate in the beginning. He was so unmotivated and greedy for beauty. Who knew how much good fortune he had accumulated in his previous life to have a daughter like An Lingrong.

"You are a father, really..."

Ling Rong unfolded the envelope and immediately saw that it was a letter from Ye Lan Yi. She responded to Xia Dongchun with "hmm", while reading what Ye Lan Yi had written.

?After Shen Meizhuang entered Jeju, she had been living a peaceful life. However, two days ago, someone suddenly came to visit her. I secretly followed her for a long time and found out that it was someone from the Zhen family.

It's a pity that I can't find out what Shen Meizhuang talked about with the Zhen family. I will continue to think of ways. ?

The content of the letter came to an abrupt end. Lingrong looked at the two words "Zhen Family" on it and guessed that Zhen Huan was trying to escape from Ganlu Temple.

But the fact that Shen Meizhuang is still alive is a secret that cannot be exposed to the public. It is really strange that Zhen Huan told the people of the Zhen family like this.

Unless the Zhen family is unable to rescue Zhen Huan from Ganlu Temple, they have no choice but to use the secret that Shen Meizhuang is still alive to force the Shen family to help.

Apart from this, Ling Rong could not think of any other reason. Of course, it is also possible that Zhen Huan missed her sister for many years and wanted to know her current situation, so she sent someone to look for Shen Meizhuang.

However, Lingrong always assumes the worst of others, so now that she suspects Zhen Huan is going to escape, she plans to find a way to prevent this from happening.

"Lady Xia, I heard that Concubine Tian wanted to bribe a few nuns in Ganlu Temple. Did she succeed?"

Xia Dongchun blinked twice, obviously not realizing how Ling Rong could think of Ganlu Temple from her family's affairs. "Why, do you want to send all those disobedient stepmothers in your family to Ganlu Temple to chant sutras?"

"Ganlu Temple is a royal temple, how is that possible?" Ling Rong was amused by Xia Dongchun's idea, "Songyang is so far away from the capital, if I really want to get rid of my stepmother, I can just find a nunnery in Songyang, why would I have to torture her all the way here?

I asked this question only because I was curious about how Concubine Xu was doing in Ganlu Temple. After all, I lost my first child during this snowy season."

This reason is quite sufficient, Xia Dongchun has no doubt about it, "It seems that he bribed a nun named Jingbai, who is said to be the abbot of Ganlu Temple and has some power.

Why, do you also want Zhen Huan to experience the pain of kneeling and praying in the heavy snow? The road from Ganlu Temple to Lingyun Peak is very long, which is the most suitable place to punish people. "

Ling Rong fell silent, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes, but soon she shook her head and said forget it.
