An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 301 Someone Returns to the Palace

After Lingrong and Concubine Tian left Xianfu Palace, they walked in the imperial garden for a long time holding umbrellas.

Lingrong told Concubine Tian about her idea, and wanted her to think of a way in the previous dynasty to make the emperor give up the idea of ​​bringing Zhen Huan back to the palace.

"Returning to the palace, Zhen Huan, don't even think about it," Concubine Tian hated Zhen Huan. When she heard that there was a way to prevent her from returning to the palace, she immediately planned to discuss it with her family. "The Queen Mother didn't want Zhen Huan to return to the palace, but she didn't want to be estranged from the Emperor, so she had no choice but to come and force Concubine Jing.

It's a pity that Concubine Jing doesn't have a brain like yours. She hesitates for a long time before thinking of a solution, but can't even think of a decent one."

Because they just want the emperor to return to the palace, or to prevent Zhen Huan from returning to the palace.

What I wanted was to ruin the emperor's reputation and make both the former court and the harem disgusted with him.

Ling Rong laughed in her heart. After she finished explaining her plan, she shook her head gently and told Concubine Tian not to act rashly. "Whether the Emperor wants to take Concubine Xu back to the palace is still unknown..."

"What's unknown? The emperor has been going out of the palace time and time again. Isn't he testing the harem?

No matter what, Zhen Huan cannot be asked to return to the palace. As you said, she will be labeled as a witch who caused the natural disaster. Then not only the ministers of the former dynasty, but also the common people will not spare her life!

I will send a message right away and ask Father to think of some solution."

Concubine Tian acted quickly, but she didn't expect that the emperor would return just after the message was sent out of the palace.

It turned out that during the few hours when there was no news, the road to the mountain had already been opened. In order to bring Zhen Huan back, the emperor deliberately had people conceal the news.

In order to avoid hearing the unwanted voices of opposition, the emperor ignored everyone's concerns and took Zhen Huan directly into Yongshou Palace.

It was not until this moment that everyone in the harem realized that the Emperor had been planning to bring Zhen Huan back several months ago. Now that his wish had finally come true, he naturally did not want to be separated from Zhen Huan.

However, after Zhen Huan arrived at Yongshou Palace, several imperial physicians including Imperial Physician He and Imperial Physician Zhou also rushed there one after another. They never came out, and Ling Rong's people were unable to find out any news from inside Yongshou Palace.

However, Lingrong had a new respect for the emperor. Even though Zhen Huan had been too close to Prince Guo and even after she plotted to murder the emperor and fled away, the emperor still did not care. After a slight punishment, he was willing to take Zhen Huan back to the palace.

"My lady, Eunuch Su is here. He said he wants Miss Zhaoshui's help with something." Mu Jin ran in hurriedly. "Should we invite Eunuch Su in?"

"Please draw water?" Ling Rong couldn't help but frowned. Asking for water was a very strange thing. Even if there was no one serving in Yongshou Palace at this time, the emperor could immediately assign someone to take care of it. There was no need to run to other palaces to borrow a palace maid.

It couldn't be that Zhen Huan had some acute illness and the imperial physician was unable to treat her, so he could only blame Zhao Shui, the "female doctor".

While Ling Rong was thinking, Su Peisheng came in. As soon as he saw Ling Rong, he began to bow and told her what the emperor had ordered. "Your Majesty, do you think... can you let Miss Zhaoshui go to Yongshou Palace?"

"Eunuch Su, I'm sorry I can't agree to this." Su Peisheng didn't explain the whole story, how could Lingrong agree to this immediately? She sighed, "Zhaoshui caught a cold a few days ago, and she hasn't recovered yet. It's a bit unreasonable to ask her to serve Concubine Xu at this time."

Su Peisheng nodded several times and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Your Majesty, this is the order from the Emperor. If I don't bring Miss Zhaoshui with me, I really can't complete my mission. Please let me complete this mission, Your Majesty."

"Eunuch Su, I don't know the cause and consequences, and I'm really uneasy about handing Zhaoshui over to Yongshou Palace. Please don't embarrass me anymore."

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's really that the Emperor doesn't allow me to say it.

The emperor's order is hard to disobey, so how dare a servant speak nonsense? "

"If you don't make it clear, I won't lend you the person," Ling Rong said in a serious tone. She didn't want to embarrass Su Peisheng, but she didn't want to lose face on Zhen Huan's first day back in the palace. "Eunuch Su, I don't mean to embarrass you."

If the people in the harem heard it, they would mock him secretly again. Although he didn't care that much, no one wanted to hear these mocking words repeatedly.

"Of course I know that Your Majesty is not trying to embarrass me on purpose."

Su Peisheng sighed and explained why Zhaoshui was needed. "In short, the woman was injured while saving the emperor's son, and the imperial physician was unable to prescribe medicine. The other palace maids did not know medical skills, so the emperor sent me here to borrow Zhaoshui from the empress."

"A woman. That woman should be Concubine Xu Zhen."

Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment, but soon shook his head, insisting that the woman was a person from the underworld, and not the noble lady Xu who was reflecting in Ganlu Temple.

Ling Rong naturally didn't believe it, but Su Peisheng had already said everything he could say, so she could only call Zhao Shui over and ask Mu Jin to go with her so that she would be left alone.

Although there was one more person, Su Peisheng did not refuse. The three people left quickly and did not return until dinner time.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhaoshui ran to Lingrong and reported to her that the woman was indeed Zhen Huan.

"I would never make a mistake, but the Emperor calls her Wanwan, and the servants just call her Miss, as if they can't tell that she is Zhen Huan."

"The name Wanwan was the nickname the emperor gave her when she first entered the palace.

Later, she made mistakes one after another, and the emperor stopped calling her Wanwan. Now he calls her that again, I'm afraid he will continue to favor her as much as before."

Ling Rong thought about it and felt that the emperor wanted to bring Zhen Huan back to the palace again. However, the emperor had already expected that the empress dowager and the concubines in the harem would stop him, so he "executed first and reported later" and brought her in with a disguise.

In this way, he could even say that he only brought back a woman who looked like Queen Chunyuan to relieve his lovesickness. Even if the Queen Mother tried to stop him, she couldn't stop the person from entering the palace.

The emperor is much smarter than in his previous life, but Zhen Huan alone does not have the glory of returning to the palace as the deposed concubine in her previous life.

"How serious is the injury? You still need to apply medicine."

At this point, Zhaoshui let out a long sigh, "Not only did they ask me to apply the medicine, they also called most of the people from the Imperial Hospital over. They all stood in the main hall with serious expressions. I was shocked when I walked in."

"With so many people around, is she seriously injured?"

"It's just a shallow cut on the cheek, and there are bruises on the body from the impact, but no internal organs were injured. It should be just caused by the fall."

Zhaoshui really didn't think it was a big deal. Slaves like them would get scratched from time to time, and those shallow wounds would probably not even leave scars.

“When I was applying the medicine, the Emperor was still asking if it would leave scars.

The woman asked if she had a scar, the emperor would be unhappy. The emperor said something like, "Wan Wan is the most beautiful person regardless of whether she has a scar or not."

Thinking of the two of them talking intimately to each other without paying attention to others, Zhaoshui got goose bumps all over her body. She rubbed her arms and said, "Although the medicine has been applied, the emperor still won't let me leave.

It is said that the ointment brought by the imperial physician needs to be changed every two hours, at least three times.

Those imperial doctors had no choice but to stay in Yongshou Palace for fear of making even the slightest mistake.

I and Mu Jin are back now, but the imperial doctors are still here."

Zhaoshui finally finished her words and took a sip of water. "I haven't had any water for four hours. My throat is going to die of dryness."

Seeing the pitiful appearance of Zhaoshui and Mujin, Lingrong asked the two of them to go down and rest, and even gave them some extra reward to comfort them for their hard work.

Early the next morning, the news that the emperor brought a girl named Wanwan into the palace and that he even loved her very much spread throughout the harem.

Concubine Jing and others who knew the reason all had serious expressions on their faces. As for Concubine Qi, Concubine Hai and the like, they were completely clueless and simply thought that there would be a new sister in the harem.

"This woman has not yet been accepted as a concubine by the Emperor, yet you are so anxious that you have come to Xianfu Palace one after another."

Concubine Jing was determined to play dumb to the end, and no matter who asked, she said she didn't know the identity of the woman named Wanwan.

"Although I don't know her identity, but seeing that the emperor alarmed most of the Imperial Hospital yesterday because of a scratch on her face, I'm sure the emperor must like her very much."

There was a hint of disgust in Concubine Qi's tone. She was quite quick-witted in getting the news. Even though the Emperor had clearly ordered her not to tell anyone about it, she still managed to find out about it.

"It's just a facial injury after all," Hai Changzai said, touching his cheek, "Maybe the emperor likes Wanwan's pretty face, that's why he's so anxious."

"Has the emperor ever worried about your faces?" Concubine Qi rolled her eyes in disdain. "If not, it proves that your faces are not attractive enough to the emperor. Once Wanwan enters the harem, she will fall out of favor."

Hai Changzai was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Gao Da Ying.

It's not that Gao Da Ying has learned to be calm, but she is really afraid of being punished. She has memorized the palace rules almost by heart, and she doesn't want to be implicated again.

When Concubine Qi saw that Concubine Hai was silent, she smiled smugly, but the smile soon disappeared because she realized that the Emperor had never cared so much about her face.

"I really don't know what kind of beauty Wan Wan is that makes the emperor care so much about her."

"I have never seen Wan Wan, and the servant I sent to visit her yesterday was also stopped outside the door."

Imperial Concubine Jing glanced at Lingrong and took the opportunity to turn the conversation to her, "I heard that Zhaoshui from Sister Sheng's palace was called to Yongshou Palace yesterday, and saw the appearance of Miss Wanwan."

"Of course I saw it," Ling Rong smiled, "She is as pretty as a peach in spring, as pure as a chrysanthemum in autumn, and she looks like an old friend. She is really lovable."

Ling Rong's words made everyone who knew Zhen Huan immediately confirm that it was indeed her who returned to the palace. Concubine Xin was the most excited, "Then how serious is Miss Wan Wan's injury?"

"It's not too serious. I think I'll be able to meet my sisters in a few days."

"I really can't wait to meet this Miss Wanwan."

Concubine Xin had been on good terms with Zhen Huan in the past. When she heard that Zhen Huan had returned to the palace, she was the only one who was truly happy for her.

Your former sister, Concubine Chun, didn't show any joy at all, but you were so happy that your eyebrows were not visible. You were really afraid that people would not know that you were a member of Zhen Huan's party.

"Noble Xin is so happy, I guess she doesn't worry about losing her favor."

Concubine Qi and Concubine Xin live in the same palace, and both of them are eyeing the master's position in this palace. Seeing Concubine Xin's attitude, they naturally want to ridicule her.

"Even if Miss Wanwan doesn't enter the palace, the favor that falls on me will be snatched away by others using the excuse of a headache or a fever.

As long as people have no sense of shame, it is the same whether they enter the palace early or late.

She might even be more polite than those who entered the palace earlier."

Concubine Xin's ridicule was almost directed at Concubine Qi. Everyone could hardly hold back their laughter and started whispering to each other, discussing what Concubine Qi had done.

Noble Lady Qi was both ashamed and annoyed. She wanted to tell everyone to stop talking, but she was just a noble lady and had no right to scold them.

"Whether you can gain favor depends on your own ability." Gao Da Ying suddenly spoke up, interrupting the discussion, "Lady Qi has the ability to gain the emperor's favor, and I sometimes feel very jealous.

But jealousy is the most unacceptable thing in the harem, so I have no choice but to concentrate on cultivating my mind and thinking of ways to please the emperor."

Hearing someone defending her, Concubine Qi's expression improved a lot. She glared at Concubine Xin fiercely and said, "It's not good to be jealous. It can easily teach children bad things. Concubine Xin, don't you agree?"

Concubine Xin also glared back. Even though she was alone, she was not afraid of Concubine Qi at all. "Yes, jealous people love to win favor the most, and even gossip in front of everyone. But the sisters in the harem are humble, so there was no dispute just now."

As expected of Concubine Xin, she is really eloquent. She has never been afraid of these so-called powerful concubines. Now that Concubine Qi is in the same position as her, she naturally doesn't take her seriously.

"Look at you, you are so worried about Miss Wanwan before she even enters the palace.

Her origins are unknown. If the Emperor wants to take her into the palace, he must find out her identity. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager will not be at ease and will worry that the Emperor will encounter assassins again."

Concubine Jing finally spoke up and interrupted the two of them. She brought up the Empress Dowager and told everyone not to worry, but she knew better than anyone that the Empress Dowager could not stop the Emperor from doing what he wanted to do.

Even if the Queen Mother knew that Wanwan was Zhen Huan, she could only stop it temporarily, not forever.

After more than half a month, Wanwan's health finally recovered. As soon as she recovered, the emperor couldn't wait to make her Wan Changzai.

When this decree reached Chengqian Palace, Lingrong couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. She even began to feel that she was not only reborn, but also trapped in the reincarnation of a person named Zhen Huan.
