An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 296 The Queen Mother's Recovery
The Fourteenth Master was just like the Emperor. He didn't even blink when faced with the task of cutting flesh and shedding blood to save his mother.
When he heard that the emperor had used Ma Fei San, he was very disdainful and even told He Anming not to use it and just cut it off with a knife.
He Anming was not afraid that Fourteenth Master would feel pain. He was just worried that Fourteenth Master would be unhappy because of the pain and then find a reason to make himself suffer.
The Fourteenth Master is not afraid of pain when he goes crazy, but as an imperial physician, I cannot let him go crazy.
But if he didn't listen to the Fourteenth Master, he would probably be scolded again. Comparing the two options, He Anming could only reduce the dosage of Ma Fei San, so that the Fourteenth Master would feel pain, but not too much pain.
However, once the physical pain really starts, that small amount of Ma Fei San will not be so effective.
When the knife cut down, the Fourteenth Master immediately broke out in sweat due to the pain, but he still stiffened his neck and said it didn't hurt, and even asked He Anming to cut more.
He Anming treated the Fourteenth Master and the Emperor equally. He only cut off a little bit of flesh and sent it to Shoukang Palace along with the blood.
He took the opportunity to put Qinggu's antidote into the medicine. As for Qiansi's antidote, it had already been quietly mixed with sandalwood and ignited together.
Thanks to the effect of the antidote, the Empress Dowager showed signs of improvement within three days after drinking the medicine made with the blood and flesh of the Fourteenth Master. After seven days, she was almost fully recovered and could even get out of bed and walk.
After her health improved, the empress dowager wanted to see her youngest son even more, but the emperor would not allow her. He even found a very lame excuse and told the empress dowager that Fourteenth Prince did not want to stay in the palace any longer and had asked to return to Jingling Mausoleum long ago.
But the Queen Mother had many spies in the palace, and she even found out that both of her sons had cut their flesh and bled for her medicine.
"It was the Emperor who first asked the Imperial Physician to make the medicine, but the Empress Dowager saw no improvement after seven days of using it, so she had no choice but to ask the Imperial Physician to take the Fourteenth Master's medicine.
The Empress Dowager took the Fourteenth Master's medicine, and her health improved immediately. Even the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that the Empress Dowager's star had regained its luster and she was out of danger."
The Queen Mother looked at the medicine bowl that had just been used up on the table and sighed imperceptibly, "Have you treated all of Fourteen's wounds? After all, it was a cut of flesh. If it doesn't heal well, I'm afraid he'll lose his life."
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. The imperial physician has already taken care of everything. The medicine used is the best. The Fourteenth Master has not suffered much."
"If his flesh and blood were useful, why would we harm Fourteen?"
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Zhu Xi immediately called out "Her Majesty the Queen Mother". She tried to signal her to stop talking, but was completely ignored.
"He said that the medicine must be effective only on the person with whom I feel my blood relationship is closest. I guess he was prepared to hurt Fourteen a long time ago.
He also knew in his heart that he was far inferior to Fourteen."
The Empress Dowager did not have much mother-son affection for the Emperor. After all, the child had been raised by someone else since he was young, and it was not easy for him to return to her side. He was always thinking about the kindness of others.
A good child, but he was raised so that he forgot his biological mother and only knew how to compete with his younger brother for their mother's care.
"When he returned to my family, he was already old enough to be independent and take care of himself.
But he is not satisfied and even competes with the young Fourteenth. It can be seen that his mind is not pure and kind, and he has some vicious calculations.
But I don’t want to blame him. After all, he is my son. If Tong Jia hadn’t taught him bad things, he wouldn’t have become so estranged from me.”
The more the queen mother spoke, the more excited she became. She finally calmed down with the comfort of Zhuxi, "Forget it, forget it. Not only are my two children grown up, but I have one foot in the coffin too."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, Queen Mother, you can't talk like that. You want to live a thousand years, you can't say such discouraging words."
Zhuxi repeatedly comforted the Queen Mother, fearing that she would relapse again due to emotional problems after just recovering from the illness. "You still have to watch the Fourteenth Master have many children and grandchildren, but now that he is sick, you have completely forgotten about it."
"Now that Fourteenth has suffered so much for me, I am always worried. These days, find some tonic medicine in my storehouse. The older the better. Give them all to Fourteenth."
"Since the Empress Dowager is so concerned about the Fourteenth Master, I think the Fourteenth Master's injuries will heal soon." Zhu Xi thought about the medicinal materials in the Empress Dowager's storehouse, "I will go to the Imperial Hospital to get scar-removing ointment for the Fourteenth Master, and I will definitely not let our Fourteenth Master have scars."
"I had forgotten about this matter. Fortunately, you are here to think about it for me."
"After all, the Fourteenth Master was very naughty when he was young..."
The master and the servant began to talk about the interesting things that happened when they were fourteen years old. The emperor stood at the door, his heart sinking to the bottom of the lake.
My mother is not close to me, and my younger brother is disrespectful to me. Perhaps they are the real mother and son. I am just a poor guy who has to live under someone else's roof because my mother passed away.
Even if I cut my flesh and let my blood flow, I won't get any concern or care. If I mention it briefly, it just shows that I have a vicious mind and am not humble enough.
The emperor could not bear to hear any more words. He touched the wound on his arm and walked out of Shoukang Palace in a daze.
Su Peisheng was also standing outside the door just now, and he heard everything the Queen Mother and Zhu Xi said clearly, but he was just a servant and didn't know how to comfort the Emperor.
Now there is only one way, send the emperor to one of the empresses' palaces, and use that gentle place to make the emperor forget what happened today.
Although it can only solve the problem temporarily, it is much better than watching the emperor radiating anger all the time.
But before Su Peisheng could comfort him, the emperor changed direction on his own and headed towards Chengqian Palace.
At this moment, Lingrong was happy because she had brought bad luck to the empress dowager. She was holding Youning in the yard and making a wreath with soft branches.
As soon as the emperor entered the room, he saw the mother and daughter sitting under a tree. Youning was restless and always wanted to sit in Lingrong's arms, but Lingrong was busy making a wreath for her, so she could only free her hands to touch her head from time to time.
Zhaoshui saw the emperor as soon as he entered the room, but at the emperor's signal, she had to keep silent and stood there holding a bunch of flowers and willow branches.
The emperor strode to Lingrong and sat down next to Youning. Youning had seen the emperor often and did not feel strange, so he immediately climbed into the emperor's arms.
"Youning, why are you so naughty?"
Seeing that the emperor did not allow anyone to be informed, Lingrong did not stand up to greet the emperor. When she saw the emperor's pale face, she knew that he had been rejected by the empress dowager.
"The emperor has been busy these days and hasn't visited Youning for a long time.
I have some free time today, why don't I help Youning choose some flowers."
"Youning is young, and purple, bright red, and pink are all suitable for her. Just choose whatever you like."
"Your Majesty is really not paying attention. He just casually said a few words to perfunctorily appease Youning and me."
The emperor sighed, holding Youning in his arms, carefully avoiding his injured arm, "I am not in a good mood today, so it is difficult for me to do these little girl's fun things with you."
“Sometimes, when you are in a bad mood, you need to use other things to relieve it.
But if Your Majesty is not in the mood to do it, it would be good to talk to me about the things that are on my mind."
Lingrong picked out the colors chosen by the emperor and made a wreath for Youning with extremely bright and eye-catching colors. Youning was so happy that she immediately broke free from the emperor's arms.
She lay on Lingrong's legs, calling "mother" again and again. Lingrong softened her heart and put it on for her immediately.
Youning turned around happily for several times. It was not enough to get Lingrong's praise, she also wanted the emperor's praise. After the emperor finished speaking, she ran to Zhaoshui to ask for it.
When the emperor saw the lively girl's personality, he immediately thought of his own childhood, especially the ridicule he had just received from the empress dowager, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Is your Majesty's arm injured?" Ling Rong pretended not to know that the emperor had cut off his flesh. "I saw you holding You Ning while protecting your left hand. Is it sprained?"
"... Almost. But it's just a minor wound and will heal in no time."
"Healed?" Ling Rong reached out and wanted to touch the emperor's arm, "But it's scratched, could it be that there's another assassin?
Is the emperor really alright? Why not call the imperial doctors to take a look?"
"He Anming has already seen it, Rong'er doesn't need to worry too much." The emperor sighed. He looked at Youning's running body and suddenly asked Lingrong, "If one day, Youning was given to someone else to raise, how would Rong'er feel?"
Lingrong clenched her handkerchief tightly, she knew that the emperor was using Youning as an example, and what was actually being written was what the empress dowager had done back then.
But he was different from the empress dowager, and Youning was also different from the emperor. This boring analogy could not comfort the emperor in his childhood at all.
"The Queen Mother once took Youning to Shoukang Palace to raise her. The reason she gave was that she loved Youning and wanted to enjoy the happiness of family life."
Ling Rong's tone was gloomy. The emperor didn't want to mention the empress dowager directly, but she brought it up directly, "I thought it would be three to five days, but who knew it would be several months later.
What’s more…” Lingrong swallowed the word “excessive” and said, “The Queen Mother did not allow me to visit Youning, and never sent anyone to inform me of Youning’s current situation.
I waited and waited in Chengqian Palace like this, and had nightmares almost every day. I dreamed that Youning missed me and cried all night.
Your Majesty, I cannot accept that Youning is not kept by my side. If you insist on taking Youning away, I can only disobey your order and force Youning to stay by my side."
Seeing Lingrong's motherly love, the emperor finally recovered from the empress dowager's cold treatment.
But the contrast was so tragic that it only made the emperor feel more self-pitying and lamenting about his own situation.
"Yes, as a mother, how can I bear to leave my child even for a moment."
"Youning finally came back to my side, and I only wanted to dote on her. Even though she was raised by someone as noble as the Queen Mother, I was still worried that Youning was not doing well.
Your Majesty, if I have done anything wrong, or if I have not taught Youning well enough, please punish me. Do not use Youning as a sword to punish me and pierce my heart."
Listening to Lingrong's increasingly excited words, the emperor felt a dull pain in the wound on his arm. He looked at Lingrong deeply, shook his head and interrupted her words.
"I won't take Youning away, not in the future."
Ling Rong nodded. Although her emotions had calmed down, her tone was still unconsciously impatient, "Your Majesty is uneasy today, is it because of the Empress Dowager?
I heard that the Queen Mother is gradually recovering, and Your Majesty should be relieved."
After putting their minds at ease, it was time to deal with the Empress Dowager. According to the Imperial Observatory, it was the Empress who took away the Empress Dowager's luck, which led to her dying.
In order to save the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Fourteenth Prince cut their flesh and bled, injuring their bodies.
The Queen has done all sorts of evil things. Even if the Queen Mother wants to protect her, she probably can't.
"A huge rock has fallen, I should be happy."
The emperor muttered to himself, trying to shift his attention back to the affairs of the harem, "Have those rumors in the palace been cleared up?"
"This rumor is very strange. Suddenly, everyone in the palace knew about it, and then it suddenly disappeared.
Sometimes I wonder if there is some god or Buddha behind this, intentionally letting the people in the harem know about it."
"I think someone did it on purpose." The emperor glanced at Lingrong. He did not doubt that Lingrong had the intention of becoming the queen, but that did not mean that the woman in front of him did not have the same intention.
"I haven't found out who caused it yet. I'm afraid I'm not capable enough. If the emperor is suspicious, why not send Eunuch Su or Concubine Jing to investigate again."
Lingrong was so frank that the emperor did not suspect that she was the one who did it. After sending people to investigate, they indeed only found a few maids.
After Su Peisheng's interrogation, he found out that they had only heard the news from others and did not know who was the person spreading the rumor behind the scenes.
At the same time, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory also reported back that the Empress Dowager's life star had returned to normal, while the brightness of the Tianfu star had diminished, no longer as bright as before.
But this only meant that those so-called rumors were true, and the Queen really did disregard the Queen Mother's life and forced herself to continue the so-called Phoenix Fate.
She, Ulanara, is the mistress of the six palaces. How could she disregard palace rules and use such crooked means?
The Emperor had originally wanted to depose the Queen because of the incident with Queen Chunyuan, and now that the Queen Mother had been assassinated, he became even more determined.
What the emperor didn't expect was that even if his life was threatened, the empress dowager would never believe that the queen would do this.
She scolded the emperor harshly, telling him that if he wanted to depose the queen, he must find sufficient evidence, otherwise Yixiu must not be deposed.
But even though the Emperor laid before the Empress Dowager all the evidence and witnesses of the Empress' murder of Rouze, the Empress Dowager still argued for the Empress, insisting that all these incidents were caused by someone plotting to take her place.
"Your Majesty, you have confined the Empress to Jingren Palace, and the power of the six palaces has been divided between Imperial Concubine Jing and Imperial Concubine Sheng. She has been tortured to death, so why do you want to depose her?
What's more, the queen has been in control of the harem for so many years. Even if she has no merit, she has at least made some hard work.
Now she only has the empty title of queen, and you are unwilling to leave it to her? ! "
