An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Early the next morning, Concubine Tian sent news. The answer given by Jixiang was almost the same as that given by Lingrong.

There was only one thing Lingrong didn't know, and that was that Queen Chunyuan was pregnant, actually thanks to a prescription given by the current Queen.

This prescription was written by the Queen herself and Concubine Duan had kept it well. Although she has passed away now, the prescription has remained in Yanqing Palace, and only Jixiang knows where it is hidden.

Now, Concubine Hua has been killed, and Jixiang has fulfilled Concubine Duan's last wish. She said that she can come out to testify anytime and anywhere, and will also bring the evidence with her.

Concubine Tian couldn't wait any longer and wanted to drag Jixiang to the emperor to complain.

After all, the emperor is now investigating the cause of Concubine Hua's death. If it is really found to be Concubine Tian's fault, then all her previous efforts will be in vain.

Now, if the death of Queen Chunyuan were also brought to light, the Emperor would probably not have the energy to investigate the cause of Concubine Hua's death.

As for the other queen who wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, she would be caught in a vortex of self-justification because of the death of Queen Chunyuan, and would have no time to investigate the cause of Concubine Hua's death.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Concubine Tian.

But Lingrong always felt that this one incident was not enough for the emperor to depose the queen. It was necessary to bring out all the things the queen had done in the past and explain them one by one. Only by punishing multiple crimes at the same time would the emperor be willing to depose the queen.

For example, Concubine Jing’s child, Concubine Chun’s child, and Concubine Zhen Huan’s child in the past.

For example, all the things like Lingrong being bitten by a snake and Concubine Tian being buried by flowers could be dug up again to add to the queen's charges.

Now, regarding Concubine Hua’s matter, they can also find a way to find someone to give false testimony and put the blame on the Queen.

I wonder if the death of the two old loves can shake the Queen's position.

Because of this, Lingrong persuaded Concubine Tian a little and asked her to prepare more evidence before going to see the emperor.

In fact, the emperor knew most of the other things, especially the matter of Concubine Hua. It would be great if he could really frame the queen.

However, the emperor seems to trust the queen very much in this matter, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to accomplish it.

After much thought, Tianpin decided to attack the maidservants around the queen. When the maid named Xiuxia went out, Xiao Dezi and Sang'er covered her head with a black cloth from behind, and then deliberately left some scratches on the back of her hand.

Two days later, Concubine Tian could no longer hold back, and rushed to the Yangxin Palace with Jixiang to complain to the Emperor about the Queen.

She had not discussed this matter with Lingrong. After Lingrong knew about it, she could only stay in Chengqian Palace and wait for her news.

In the Yangxin Palace, Jixiang knelt on the ground and laid out everything he had found out about Concubine Duan in the past before the emperor, including how Empress Chunyuan used the prescription given by the Empress and became pregnant with a boy.

How did he use peach kernels, hawthorn and other things that could harm the fetus, thus killing the lives of Empress Chunyuan and her child?

"Since Concubine Duan knew so much information, why didn't she tell me when she was in the mansion?"

Jixiang was silent for a while. She was not sure whether mentioning the fact that Queen Chunyuan murdered Concubine Duan would anger the emperor. But now, the emperor had already asked her and she could not answer that she didn't know.

"Empress Chunyuan and my mother were very good sisters. They often played the pipa together in the mansion. Your Majesty knows this.

But later, when our queen was investigating the death of Queen Chunyuan, she unexpectedly discovered the reason why she had never been able to get pregnant. It turned out that it was Queen Chunyuan who secretly acted with the pipa.

The pipa was a gift from Empress Chunyuan herself. The empress cherished it very much. Even when she was not playing it, she would hold it in her arms and admire it for a while.

Who would have thought that the large amount of musk would permeate every piece of wood and every string of the pipa.

Our queen is in contact with him every day, and even if the emperor goes to the room many times, it is difficult for her to get pregnant.

Your Highness wanted to talk about this with Queen Chunyuan, but she is gone, what is there to say in front of a tablet?"

Jixiang saw the emperor's gradually unhappy expression, kowtowed to him again, and then continued, "But after much investigation, the queen also confirmed that she did not wrongly accuse Queen Chunyuan.

So he was very angry and did not tell the emperor the news he had found out.

Now I am telling this matter because I received the order from Her Majesty before she died. I don’t know if it was because Her Majesty knew that her time was approaching, but she told this to me the night before Her Majesty was born, and asked me to report it to His Majesty at the appropriate time.

I don't know when is the right time, but I have suffered enough in the palace now. I want to follow the Empress, so I beg Concubine Tian to come to the Emperor and explain the matter clearly."

Jixiang took out the evidence in his arms. The prescription had turned slightly yellow, but when the emperor unfolded it, he could immediately confirm that it was the queen's handwriting.

Although the handwriting was still a little immature and could be said to be crude compared to the Queen's current calligraphy, it was truly the Queen's handwriting.

The emperor closed the paper. If he remembered correctly, this prescription was exactly the same as the ones he got from Concubine Chun and Concubine Jing.

This means that Yixiu had already used this prescription to harm people when she was in the mansion, and she even harmed her own sister.

The emperor remembered that he had once asked the imperial physician whether the use of this medicine would cause dystocia, and the imperial physician also said that it was related to the woman's physical constitution.

Rouze had always been in weak health, and she played the pipa with Concubine Duan all day long, which inevitably affected her by the musk. So under the influence of this prescription, she and her child were murdered.

If Yixiu had used this prescription, why would I and Rou Zetian have used different prescriptions?

"Poisonous woman, she is really a poisonous woman!"

The emperor was very angry. He grasped the paper tightly with his fingers, almost crumpling the yellowed paper.

Concubine Tian was terrified as she watched from the side, and she wished she could snatch this crucial evidence back from the Emperor - after all, this was the sharpest sword she had to overthrow the Empress.

Fortunately, the emperor was not a bad person who would destroy evidence. He quickly calmed down and placed the prescription on the table.

Concubine Tian's heart finally settled down. She sat aside and let out a long sigh, "Your Majesty, I didn't know that Jixiang wanted to talk about such a big thing. I brought Jixiang here without investigating. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's okay," the emperor waved his hand to stop Concubine Tian from saluting, "I will send someone to find out the whole story, you don't have to worry."

"But after so many years, can the emperor still find the servant from that time to inquire about this matter?"

"Jixiang has explained the matter clearly," the emperor was obviously unwilling to say more, and he also sighed, "Princess Tian, ​​please go back to the palace first, and I will slowly investigate the matter of Queen Chunyuan.

But remember, what happened today must not be spread to anyone else, not even to your most trusted concubines or servants, understand?"

"I understand." Concubine Tian glanced at Jixiang, gave her a look that reassured her, and left leisurely.

However, after waiting for a whole day, there was no movement from the Yangxin Palace. It was like a stone thrown into a river, with only a few visible ripples.

But the people on the shore did not continue to move, and the ripples soon disappeared.

Concubine Tian and others were very anxious, but she was also worried that the emperor would secretly send someone to follow them, and she couldn't go to Chengqian Palace to find Lingrong, so she had to quietly go to Yixingxuan to talk to Xia Dongchun about something.

Xia Dongchun was obviously more interested in the death of Concubine Hua. I don't know if her people knew anything. Xia Dongchun actually started to ask whether Concubine Tian was related to the death of Concubine Hua.

"Why do you ask such a strange question? Do I look like I'm in a feud with Concubine Hua? Are we celebrating a festival?"

"Well, that's not the case. It seems like you and Zhen Huan have this kind of conflict." Xia Dongchun pondered for a while, "But some people seem to have seen Xiao Dezi on the day when Concubine Hua got into trouble."

Hearing Xiao Dezi's name, Concubine Tian immediately became alert, but she tried to act nonchalant, "It was very cold that day, and I asked him to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get charcoal. Isn't it normal for someone to see him?"

Xia Dongchun looked around, pretending that she didn't want to be overheard. She leaned close to Tianpin's ear and said, "It wasn't when he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the charcoal. It was still dark at that time. That person saw Xiao Dezi sneaking into Yukun Palace."

"You also said that it was not yet daybreak. Maybe that person was mistaken? And how could Xiao Dezi dare to walk out of the Yanxi Palace without my order?"

Xia Dongchun showed an expression that said, "You didn't even tell me the truth." She pouted mischievously, "Of course that person could see clearly, he was going to pour the night incense in the palace, and he was the only one who could come and go freely in the palace at that time.

So he definitely couldn't be wrong, that person must be Xiao Dezi.

Concubine Tian, ​​is it true that Concubine Hua's death has nothing to do with you?"

At this time, Concubine Tian could no longer conceal her panic. She eagerly grabbed Xia Dongchun's hand and asked, "Besides you, has that person told anyone else about what he saw Xiao Dezi?"

Xia Dongchun shook her head and said, "If Handan hadn't opened Princess Huai Ke's window before, I wouldn't have remembered to ask those palace servants who were pouring night incense about this matter.

The first person he asked was the palace servant in charge of the Yanx Palace. He knew all the palace servants in the Yanx Palace, so he easily recognized Xiao Dezi.

I know Xiao Dezi is your man, so of course I told him to keep his mouth shut and not to talk nonsense out there."

Seeing that Concubine Tian was still very nervous, Xia Dongchun even comforted her very gently, "Don't worry, I told him not to say anything nonsense, and he definitely won't say anything nonsense.

If I wanted to tell on you, I wouldn't be telling you this today."

No matter how much she planned, Concubine Tian never expected that what she did would be discovered by a palace maid who was pouring night incense.

But even Xia Dongchun remembered to ask these lowly servants, would the Emperor and the Empress not have thought of it?

"Besides you, has anyone else asked him?"

Xia Dongchun shook his head and answered very confidently, "Absolutely not. To be honest, the emperor and the queen can't even remember that there are such people in the palace.

Because what they did was so lowly, these powerful people felt uncomfortable and lowered their status even when they spoke a word to them.

So you can rest assured that no one will ask them except me."

Concubine Tian let out a long sigh. "If you are the only one who knows this, it's not a big deal. You and I are in the same boat. I didn't tell you before just to prevent the news from leaking out."

"Oh?" Xia Dongchun looked down and saw that Concubine Tian had held onto her hand and had not let go. "So, could it be that An Lingrong already knew about this? Why did you two want to kill Concubine Hua?"

"No, I can't tell you yet, but you'll find out soon enough."

Xia Dongchun rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. She pulled away Tianpin's hand and said, "It hurts so much. You are so strong."

"I'm a spoiled young lady from an aristocratic family, and you actually said I'm strong?"

Concubine Tian’s focus is always so strange. Being strong is not a bad thing, but to her ears, it was no different from Xia Dongchun mocking her.

"You didn't react when I told you that you killed someone, but you're so strong that you shouted at me."

Xia Dongchun blinked her eyes, and her tone was very exaggerated, "Could it be that you are the female devil who kills people and takes out their hearts as rumored in the martial arts world?"

Now it was finally Concubine Tian's turn to be speechless and roll her eyes. She could no longer sit still and felt that she was being contaminated by Yixingxuan's foolish aura.

"Remember to tell him not to say this to anyone else. Even if he wants to tell someone, it's better to tell someone else."

"Change someone, who do you want to frame?"

Concubine Tian fell silent. She looked at Xia Dongchun for a long time before she slowly spoke, "What if I say it's the Queen?"

Xia Dongchun also fell silent. She tilted her head and looked at Concubine Tian. "You and An Lingrong have surprisingly similar thoughts."

"An Lingrong? Why, she told you everything?"

Concubine Tian was someone who couldn't keep secrets, and as soon as Xia Dongchun tested her, she couldn't help but sell out Ling Rong.

When Xia Dongchun told Lingrong about this, Lingrong could only hold her forehead helplessly.

She just thought Xia Dongchun was not very smart, but she didn't expect that Concubine Tian was even more unable to keep secrets. Even Xia Dongchun could dig the secrets out of her mouth.

If she had met someone as shrewd as the Queen or Concubine Cao, all of Concubine Tian's little tricks would have been exposed immediately.

Looking at Xia Dongchun's smug smile, Ling Rong felt even more headache. She even began to reflect on why she chose these two people and why she sat in the same boat with them.

Could it be that there is enough water in their brains to carry the boat?

But water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. I hope these two fools won’t continue to cause trouble for themselves in the future.
