An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

It doesn’t really matter whether Concubine Tian played the note wrong or not. What matters is that she is willing to spend time trying to please others, even if that effort doesn’t seem very smart.

As expected, Concubine Tian invited the emperor back to the Yanx Palace and asked Concubine Chun of Suiyuxuan to wait for him all night.

The two of them didn't get along well to begin with, and their rift became even worse when they were greeting each other and discussing matters.

"Some people are in such a good mood that they play the piano under a tree in the cold winter without worrying about freezing themselves into stuttering."

Concubine Chun wiped the sweat from her forehead caused by the heat, and kept glaring at Concubine Tian.

Unfortunately, Concubine Tian did not refute at this time, but acted very satisfied, which made Concubine Chun even more angry and blushed.

"Yes, for some people, the emperor took the initiative to visit them. For others, he stopped the emperor on the way.

Concubine Chun, please let this person who the emperor doesn't even remember to visit be with you."

Concubine Qi was good at speaking. Her words not only mocked Concubine Tian, ​​but also those concubines who had not seen the emperor for a long time. Even Concubine Jing looked a little unhappy.

"Madam Qi has such a clever tongue." Lingrong dared to speak. After all, she was the only one present, and she fed Madam Qi a huge pot of soup.

In the past, Lingrong did not have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. It was only because of the emperor's guilt towards her that she escaped the punishment for privately admonishing a concubine.

Now that she has real power over the six palaces, she has not yet established her authority over anyone.

"Whoever the emperor likes is talented. There are many concubines in the palace who have children, and it is not uncommon for them to often be favored by the emperor.

Just look at Concubine Chun and you will know that the Emperor is worried about the Seventh Prince and would go to see her from time to time."

Ling Rong and Concubine Jing looked at each other, and continued to look at Concubine Qi with a smile, "You should also work hard to give birth to a child for the emperor as soon as possible, then you don't have to worry about not having the emperor's favor."

Noble Lady Qi snorted quietly. She also knew that Noble Concubine Jing, Concubine Cao and Noble Concubine Xin were not very favored, but they all had children and could not help but mock them like this.

Even Concubine Tian, ​​who was just ridiculed, has a daughter, Princess Huai Ke. If she really turns against him, she might feed him a pot of brown rice and coix seed soup.

Thinking of this, Concubine Qi was not afraid, but became even more angry.

An Lingrong, that lowly woman with nothing in her family, was able to give birth to a son and a daughter. After she secured her position as a concubine, I also had to find a way to get pregnant so that I could firmly suppress her.

Seeing that Concubine Qi remained silent, Lingrong was in no mood to find out what she was thinking, and her eyes turned to Concubine Chun.

"Mrs. Chun, how is the health of the Seventh Prince now? Are the imperial doctors doing their best to take care of him?"

"Sister Shengfei," Concubine Chun did not show any displeasure, but instead showed an innocent and lovely smile, "Seventh Prince is in good health now. Although it has been cold these past few days, he has not had a fever."

"That's good. If the charcoal is not enough, you must tell the Imperial Concubine."

"The matter of the charcoal fire has long been handed over to you. Why bother to come to me for explanation?" Concubine Jing's tone was calm, and she did not show any displeasure at having her power divided by Ling Rong.

"Of course I have to ask my elder sister. I often make mistakes when doing things, so it's better for my elder sister to help control it so that things don't go wrong."

Lingrong had just spoken for Concubine Tian, ​​so she was naturally a little worried that Concubine Jing would think she was getting too proud and would not take her seriously.

At this time, these words can be regarded as a compensation, letting everyone see that except for the Queen, everyone should still respect Concubine Jing.

"Sister, you are too kind." Concubine Jing's attitude remained the same as usual, making it impossible to tell what she was feeling at the moment.

Concubine Tian spoke leisurely at this time, stroking her hair, "If you had focused all your attention on the child, how could the child have caught a cold right under your nose?

You are right, Lady Chun."

"I hope Princess Huai Ke will always be in good health." Concubine Chun said this with an ambiguous tone. Her smile was still as lovely as ever, but it made people feel inexplicably cold.

But Concubine Tian didn't think so. She narrowed her eyes and retorted bluntly, "Huai Ke's body has always been fine. After all, he has been taken care of by his biological mother, me, and the emperor often comes to visit. Some people can't touch him even if they want to."

"Sister Tianpin is such a jokester. Who would do that to a child? You can't think that others would be so vicious just because you did it yourself."

Here it comes again. Lingrong rubbed her ears and her gaze drifted to Concubine Jing's face again.

Unexpectedly, Lingrong caught a glimpse of worry on Concubine Jing's face. Could it be that something had happened to the Sixth Prince's health?

After all, the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince were conceived using the same prescription, so I'm afraid they would develop the same symptoms one after another.

It's just that ever since the Seventh Prince had a high fever that wouldn't go away, Concubine Jing has been taking good care of him, so the Sixth Prince has been doing well and hasn't had any major problems.

But now it seems that the Sixth Prince’s situation is not too optimistic.

With this doubt in mind, Lingrong deliberately went to see the imperial physician to find out about the Sixth Prince's current condition.

It’s a pity that neither He Anming nor Wei Lin are responsible for the Sixth Prince’s health, so they are not very clear about the current situation.

Doctor Zhou knew more about the situation, but he was more conservative and didn't want to reveal too much about the patient's condition.

Ling Rong was not sure whether this was a request from Concubine Jing, but now she could not find more information, so she had no way to help Concubine Jing come up with any solution.

But she still carefully asked He Anming if there was any way to improve the health of the Sixth Prince.

But until now, He Anming has no good solution. He even told Lingrong the truth. Even if he was well taken care of, the Sixth Prince could lose his life at any time due to a serious illness.

As to at what age and in what season this serious illness will come, it is unknown.

In this case, there is no other way. We might as well think of a way to regulate Concubine Jing's body so that she has a chance to give birth to another son.

"This drug is also extremely harmful to the mother's body. In addition, Concubine Jing had a difficult delivery at the time, and her body was indeed impaired in sexual intercourse, so..."

He Anming was about to say something but stopped talking, but Lingrong already understood what he meant. Maybe he could get well, but sex might be a little difficult.

But Lingrong is actually very resourceful in this regard. Once the spices are used, the emperor can no longer be picky.

But there is also a problem, that is, Lingrong cannot reveal the fact that she can make perfume. If Concubine Jing agrees, this matter will still be blamed on Zhaoshui.

But... Lingrong was also a little hesitant in her heart. In fact, there was no need for her to help Concubine Jing give birth to another child.

Because Concubine Jing's current position is already high enough, if she has another child, I'm afraid she can only be given the position of Imperial Concubine.

This will hinder the plans of Lingrong and Tianpin, and is not a good decision.

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince, who had worried Lingrong, was not in good health, but Princess Huai Ke, the daughter of Concubine Tian, ​​was infected with a cold.

The poor little girl's face turned red from the fever, and she cried so pitifully.

But she was too young and the imperial physician did not dare to use medicine, so he could only ask the wet nurse to use the medicine and turn it into breast milk to feed the child.

Unfortunately, this method was slow to take effect and the child could not stand the heat, so several imperial doctors discussed it and decided to halve the dosage suitable for a one-year-old child and feed it to Princess Huai Ke.

Fortunately, the dosage was well controlled, and Princess Huai Ke's high fever subsided quickly. Concubine Tian finally felt relieved and gritted her teeth to scold those who took care of the princess.

But the wet nurse who was serving her didn't quite understand why the window of the princess' bedroom was opened a crack.

Even if someone did it on purpose, these wet nurses did not take good care of the baby. Concubine Tian was so angry that she fined them three months' monthly salary.

Fortunately, these people all have some relationship with her Fu Cha family. If they were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they would probably be tripped up by someone in secret.

But opening the window was a common thing. Concubine Tian searched the palace for a long time, but no one saw who opened the window.

"Maybe the servant forgot to turn it off and is afraid of your punishment, so he dare not admit it?"

Xia Dongchun was more open-minded about this matter. After all, for her, harming a child was a far-fetched thing.

"I just think that little bitch Chun Guiren sent someone to do it, but I haven't found out who opened the window, otherwise I would definitely cripple that person's claws."

Although Concubine Tian was angry that she gave birth to a girl, it was still her child after all, and she could not tolerate anyone harming her.

"But the security in your palace is so strict. It's unlikely that someone was bribed."

Concubine Tian's eyes rolled, and she immediately looked at Xia Dongchun, "You and I live in the same palace, my people are sure there will be no problems, what about you?"

"I..." Xia Dongchun hesitated for a moment. She had a lot of acquaintances in the palace, and very few palace servants would be so stubborn as to harm her, so she didn't do much research on the people around her.

When Concubine Tian asked this question, she hesitated and couldn't say that she was good at managing her subordinates and there would definitely not be any problems.

"Look, you're not even sure." Concubine Tian immediately became excited. She immediately stood up and went to Yixingxuan to check on people.

It was Lingrong who spoke up and stopped Concubine Tian, ​​"Concubine Tian, ​​if you go to investigate, it will definitely not be as fast as Concubine Xia. When you return to the palace, ask Concubine Xia to ask in private.

If someone really did this, then ask her to reveal the person behind it.

If you go there with a lot of fanfare, I'm afraid no one will dare to tell the truth.

Then you will be left with nothing and angry for nothing."

"Then you must investigate thoroughly." Concubine Tian bit her lip and returned to her original seat. She glanced at Xia Dongchun with concern, "You must investigate thoroughly when you go back, don't just bear the title of Huai Ke's adopted mother for nothing."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Xia Dongchun waved her hand and told Concubine Tian to shut up and stop nagging her.

Xia Dongchun agreed quickly and acted quickly, but the person who did it was not someone from Yixingxuan, but Handan, who was in charge of daily maintenance and cleaning at Ledaotang.

This Handan used to serve Fu Changzai. Later, because Fu Changzai got into trouble, Handan, who was serving her, was also implicated.

At first, she was responsible for the hard work of pouring night incense, but later, someone rescued her and she returned to the Yanxi Palace.

Because she did not serve Concubine Tian and Noble Lady Xia, she was never discovered.

It is somewhat unexpected that it has been discovered now because of Princess Huai Ke’s incident.

After investigating Handan, it was found that it was indeed Concubine Chun who ordered it, and she did not hide from people for a long time. It was just that she knew some hidden paths because she had to pour out the night incense, so she was able to open the princess's window smoothly.

After Concubine Tian found out, she immediately took Handan to Concubine Chun's palace and asked for an explanation from her.

But Concubine Chun naturally refused to admit it. She smiled and said that she did not know Handan and did not know why the maid wanted to falsely accuse her.

"False accusation? You're really funny. What good will it do for you if she falsely accuses you?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's money, maybe it's a better life for the family. The Fucha family is so powerful, there's nothing they can't promise."

"Not only do you deny it, you're also trying to turn the tables."

"How can you accuse me of putting the blame on someone else?" Chun Changzai smiled and shook her head, "Sister Tianpin, words are not enough. You have to show me evidence to convince me."

However, Concubine Tian had no physical evidence at all, and Handan had not even received the silver given by Concubine Chun. She just followed orders and did her job.

The reason was to repay Concubine Chun for bringing her back to the Yanx Palace so that she wouldn't have to do the hard work of pouring night incense, which was something that made her happier than any amount of real money.

"Sister Tianpin, don't just be angry, just show us the evidence.

If it is really proven that it was me, I am willing to plead guilty on the spot." Concubine Chun blinked her eyes, with a hint of mischief, "But if there is no evidence and you still want to force me to plead guilty, don't blame me for making a scene in front of the Empress or the Emperor."

Concubine Tian clenched her fists, strode up to Concubine Chun, and slapped her face hard, which had a naive yet disgusting smile.

Concubine Chun was knocked to the side by the blow. She covered her cheek rather dully and looked at Concubine Tian in surprise.

"Then go find the Queen, or the Emperor, and take the slap with you. Don't go too late, or the slap mark will disappear."

After the slap, Concubine Tian's anger slowly dissipated. She walked out of Shuiyuxuan angrily, but before she had gone far, she was stopped by Zhaoshui sent by Lingrong.

"My Lady Concubine Tian, ​​please stay," Zhaoshui ran over breathlessly. She didn't have time to catch her breath before she blurted out Lingrong's instructions. "My Lady Concubine said that we have to go to the Emperor and cry about this. We must not go and cause trouble for Concubine Chun. She will definitely not admit it."

She would never admit it. Concubine Tian rubbed her fingers. She had slapped him so hard that even her palms felt a little painful.

"The Emperor is still in the Yangxin Palace. Concubine Tian, ​​please take Handan with you."
