An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Because Wen Yi's symptoms were unclear, Cao Qinmo insisted on taking Wen Yi to an empty room in a side hall of Chengqian Palace that was rarely used to wait.

Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded any more, Ling Rong let her go. Imperial Physician He and Imperial Physician Wei had been waiting in Chengqian Palace for a long time. When Wen Yi came, they immediately took her pulse.

Unfortunately, after the two imperial doctors took Wen Yi's pulse, they did not find any illness.

Cao Qinmo became more and more worried. She hesitated for a while and asked about the situation of Lingrong being hit by the nightmare technique.

"Sister, if you suspect that Wen Yi has been bewitched by the spell, why not ask the Emperor to invite a senior monk to take a look."

As she said this, Zhaoshui came over. She listened to Lingrong's instructions and coaxed Wen Yi to go to the inner room to check on her body.

But Wen Yi was a little scared. She didn't want to leave her mother, but because there were strangers around her, she could only hold on to Cao Qinmo's clothes tightly with her fingers.

Seeing this, Ling Rong couldn't bear to scare Wen Yi, so she said, "Sister, carry Wen Yi with you. We can talk about the Nightmare Suppression Technique after you have investigated it."

"Okay, then sister, wait a moment."

Cao Qinmo was also worried about Wen Yi, so she held her and followed Zhaoshui into the inner room.

Ling Rong did not follow in, but stayed outside to ask Imperial Physician He and Imperial Physician Wei about Wen Yi's condition.

"Two imperial doctors, is it true that Wen Yi has no suspicious symptoms?"

"Your Majesty, indeed not." He Anming and Wei Lin looked at each other and answered with certainty, "I have checked Princess Wen Yi's pulse and found that she is just a little weak, which is common to everyone.

Everyone's body will undergo certain changes depending on the seasonal temperature and even the time of sleep.

Princess Wen Yi's physical condition was within the normal range, and Concubine Cao also said that Princess Wen Yi did not have any external injuries.

So... under such circumstances, we two humble servants can't find any problems at all."

"But there's no reason why Princess Wen Yi is so weak?" Ling Rong also felt strange. She hesitated for a while, "Is it really because of the Nightmare Suppression Technique?"

He Anming remained silent. He really didn't know what was going on. If Princess Wen Yi didn't have any wounds on her body, he could only suspect that it was the effect of the Nightmare Suppression Technique.

Ling Rong looked at Wei Lin, who also shook his head, indicating that his judgment was the same as He Anming's.

Not long after, Zhaoshui came out with a needle in her hand, which had some black marks and blood on it.

Zhaoshui brought the needle to Lingrong, who looked at it in confusion, "What's going on? Why is there a needle here?"

"I found this needle from Princess Wen Yi," Zhaoshui took out a handkerchief and put the needle on it, "Your Majesty, you may not have thought that this needle was inserted near Princess Wen Yi's heart.

This is a silver needle used for acupuncture, as thin as a cow hair, and you can't see it at all if you don't look carefully.

Because of the presence of three needles, Princess Wen Yi always felt uncomfortable, but she was young and couldn't explain what kind of discomfort it was.

Concubine Cao had not thought that there would be such a needle on Wen Yi's body, so she looked at it several times but could not see any clues. "

"How do you see that?"

Lingrong asked this question not because she doubted Zhaoshui, she was just worried that Cao Qinmo would suspect Zhaoshui.

"I also felt it," Zhaoshui sighed, "because there was no visible external injury on Princess Wen Yi's body, I suspected that the princess had fallen or bumped into something, since there were no bruises on her body.

After asking Concubine Cao for permission, she examined the princess' body bit by bit.

When it reached the chest, the princess cried out in pain, and I checked carefully and found the needle. "

"I understand," Ling Rong nodded and asked Zhao Shui to pass the needle to He Anming. "Two imperial doctors, please take a look at this needle. Is it poisoned?"

He Anming took the silver needle and said, "I see blood and a little bit of flesh on this silver needle. I think this needle has been in the princess' body for several days.

Even if it was poisoned, I'm afraid nothing can be found out now."

"Leave it alone for now. Wait until Concubine Cao comes out and let her make her own decision."

After all, Cao Qinmo is Princess Wen Yi's biological mother, and even if Lingrong has the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she cannot make this decision on her behalf.

The four of them waited in the main hall for a while before Cao Qinmo came out of the inner room holding Wen Yi.

Lingrong noticed that her eyes were red and guessed that Cao Qinmo had just cried quietly for a while while holding Wen Yi.

After all, having a needle like this stuck in her daughter's body would make any mother feel guilty and cry.

So Lingrong did not comfort or show concern for Cao Qinmo, but instead asked Princess Wen Yi how she felt now.

After the silver needle was taken out, Wen Yi became more energetic. She shook her head and said, "Madam Sheng, Wen Yi is not feeling uncomfortable anymore, but Madam doesn't seem very happy."

Wen Yiren is small but smart. She hugged Cao Qinmo's neck and refused to let go for a moment.

"Don't worry, sister. I just asked inside and Wen Yi felt much better."

"It seems that this needle is causing the trouble." Zhaoshui put the needle in front of Cao Qinmo again, "Sister, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

"I just thought about it, this matter should be related to that Dr. Jiang.

And this divine doctor Jiang was sent to the palace by the Guarjia family, so his behavior towards Wen Yi must have something to do with Guarjia Wen Yuan."

Although Cao Qinmo knew who was involved in this matter, she couldn't understand why Concubine Qi wanted to attack Wen Yi.

Although Cao Qinmo had surrendered to the Queen, he had never done anything excessive to Concubine Qi while serving the Queen, and they had never even had an argument.

After the Queen was placed under house arrest, Cao Qinmo did not openly join any camp. In the eyes of Concubine Qi, Cao Qinmo should still be the Queen's supporter.

Therefore, she and Concubine Qi were still on good terms with each other, and there was really no reason for Concubine Qi to harm her.

Even though Cao Qinmo secretly sided with Lingrong, she never said a word or did anything for Lingrong.

Logically speaking, Concubine Qi should not know about this.

Therefore, even if Lingrong and her group had some grudge against Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi should have taken revenge on Lingrong or Concubine Tian. Why would she take revenge on Wen Yi?

"Sister, have you ever had any conflicts with the Guarjia clan?"

Cao Qinmo shook her head with certainty, "I have a bad family background, and I rarely make enemies in the palace. Even if I did something wrong in the past, it disappeared with the death of Concubine Hua.

Moreover, Concubine Qi has only been in the palace for a short time, and the past grudges have nothing to do with her. "

"This is strange. If it wasn't Concubine Qi who instructed Doctor Jiang to attack Wen Yi, who else could it be?

Could it be that this Dr. Jiang has been bribed by someone else?"

Although Lingrong made such a guess, she had no evidence.

After all, she didn't know what the true relationship between Cao Qinmo and other people was, nor did she know whether Cao Qinmo had done anything behind the scenes to murder Concubine Qi.

Moreover, this Miracle Doctor Jiang was found by Guaerjia with great difficulty. If he could be easily bribed by other concubines to harm others, wouldn't it be too ridiculous?

After all, the Guwaljia clan is very powerful, and they can give so many things. Who in the harem can compare to them?

"Doctor He, Doctor Wei, I would like to ask you a question. What is the reputation of this divine doctor Jiang in the Imperial Hospital? Who does he often diagnose?"

Wei Lin bowed and saluted, "I have a good relationship with Dr. Jiang, and I know him a little bit.

He was kind and broad-minded, and never had any grudges with anyone in the Imperial Hospital.

As for diagnosing illnesses, I remember that he went to Chuxiu Palace more often."

"Sister, isn't this Chuxiu Palace where Concubine Qi lives?"

"Could it be that Concubine Qi really did this?" Cao Qinmo was not very sure at this time, but now all the clues pointed to Concubine Qi, it would always be right to check her.

“Sister, whether it was her or not, I advise you to report this matter to the emperor in private.

In the harem, someone is plotting to murder the heir to the throne. This is a serious crime. If I don’t inform the emperor in advance, I’m afraid that he will resent my sister after learning about this.”

"Don't worry, I will tell the emperor about this. Wen Yi is the emperor's daughter after all. She has been hurt, and it is the emperor's responsibility as the emperor's father to investigate it thoroughly."

"This needle...sister, take it with you and ask the emperor to find someone to investigate.

I originally wanted to ask the two imperial doctors to check it out, but I thought it would be better to let the emperor take it as a check-up so that he would pay more attention to it."

"My sister is very considerate," Cao Qinmo hugged Wen Yi and bowed slightly. She wiped the needle with a handkerchief, said goodbye to Ling Rong, and went directly to the Yangxin Palace.

As for He Anming and Wei Lin, they returned to the Imperial Hospital after taking the pulse of Youning and Hongyu respectively.

Lingrong could not help much in this matter, nor could she show up in front of the emperor, so she did not go to the Yangxin Palace with him.

After Cao Qinmo told the emperor about this, the emperor was very angry, but he told Cao Qinmo not to act rashly so as not to alert the enemy and have someone destroy the evidence in advance.

Cao Qinmo and Wen Yi stayed in Qixiang Palace and continued to pretend that Wen Yi was unwell. Later, she even rarely attended the meetings held every seven days.

Concubine Jing found it strange and sent someone to ask Cao Qinmo, but the person just used the excuse that Wen Yi was unwell and did not tell her the real reason behind it.

At the same time, the emperor's men took Doctor Jiang away on the pretext of asking him to diagnose the seriously ill Prince Guo.

Poor Doctor Jiang really thought that he was highly valued by the Emperor, so he went there happily, but was thrown into the Sky Prison instead.

After being tortured several times, he finally told the truth. Surprisingly, the person who murdered Princess Wen Yi was not Concubine Qi, but Concubine Chun of Suiyuxuan.

Doctor Jiang explained that Concubine Chun did not take good care of the Seventh Prince's health in the past, which caused the Seventh Prince's health to deteriorate. Now, just a slight change in temperature is enough to make him fall ill.

Concubine Chun consulted all the doctors in the palace, but none of them could help. In desperation, she found Doctor Jiang, hoping that this doctor from outside the palace could find a way to save the Seventh Prince.

It’s a pity that Doctor Jiang was no different from other doctors in the palace. He was also helpless against the Seventh Prince’s illness. After all, this child was conceived due to drugs, and the prescription was overbearing, making it difficult to raise the child.

Under Chun Guiren's repeated requests, Doctor Jiang thought of a folk remedy.

This method is somewhat similar to the method used by the Emperor to use flesh and blood as medicine to save the Empress Dowager. It requires taking the essence and blood of the child's brothers and sisters who are related by blood to make medicine.

Now, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince and Princess Suhe are all being raised in the Prince's Residence, and Doctor Jiang and Concubine Chun have no way of obtaining their blood essence.

So he set his sights on the young children. The Sixth Prince's physical condition was the same as the Seventh Prince's, so his blood could not be used. The best remaining one was that of the Eighth Prince, Hongyu.

But Ling Rong has always been cautious and prudent. She only uses He Anming and Wei Lin as imperial physicians, and she even has a doctor named Zhao Shui who knows medical skills to take care of her.

The entire Chengqian Palace was like an iron barrel, and it was impossible to bribe even a single servant.

After much thought, Concubine Chun could only set her sights on Cao Qinmo.

In order to be able to enter Qixiang Palace, Doctor Jiang found an excuse to be on duty during that period. He finally waited until Wen Yi was unwell and had the opportunity to meet Princess Wen Yi.

Originally, Doctor Jiang used two silver needles to draw blood, but he accidentally left one because he was almost discovered by Cao Qinmo.

He originally wanted to come a second time to remove the silver needle, but unexpectedly, Cao Qinmo became wary and did not allow him to take Princess Wen Yi's pulse, resulting in the needle remaining in Wen Yi's body.

In the end, this needle became evidence and was presented before the emperor.

The emperor did not expect that although Concubine Chun looked innocent, she actually had such a vicious mind.

In order to save her child, she resorted to all means to plot against Cao Qinmo and murder Wen Yi.

If this silver needle remained in Wen Yi's body, it would probably flow along the blood and eventually reach the heart, causing Wen Yi to suffer from this silver needle for the rest of his life.

What's even more ridiculous is that the so-called taking the essence and blood from the heart to prolong the lives of brothers is simply nonsense.

The Seventh Prince has not gotten better after taking the medicine, and his health seems to be even worse than before, to the point that he has been having convulsions all night and cannot sleep.

When Concubine Chun was taken to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she was almost driven crazy by the torture of the Seventh Prince. She had completely lost her previous innocence and kept complaining about how exhausted the Seventh Prince was.

But the Seventh Prince was clearly just a child, and because of his poor health, he seldom went out to play.

Because his mother disliked him, he didn't dare to act like a spoiled child in front of Concubine Chun. He remained silent all day long and didn't make any noise. How could this so-called guilt be blamed on him?
