An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Hongshi, who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, was instigated by Hongli and rushed to the emperor to plead for mercy. Although he hit a wall and waited for a long time at the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he finally got in.

Unfortunately, the emperor became angry after just saying a few words and almost threw the brush in the third prince's face.

"You're begging for your uncle? You think what I did was wrong, right?"

"Father, I don't think you did anything wrong. I just think that my uncle's separation from his daughter has damaged his body due to his longing for him.

I, your son, have been separated from my mother, so I understand this kind of suffering best. Your Majesty, you have also been separated from your mother, so I am sure you feel the same way. "

"You feel the same way? Your uncle and I are brothers, but you didn't care about our brotherly love and sent people to assassinate me and even tried to seize power.

I did not punish him severely for the sake of brotherly love, but brought Gong Ding into the palace and ordered people to teach him well, so that he would not learn from his father and become a disloyal and unrighteous person. "

Although the emperor was angry, he took into consideration that the Third Prince was doing this for the sake of respect, so he wanted to give him a verbal lecture and did not intend to punish him.

But unexpectedly, the Third Prince was stubborn and insisted on speaking for Prince Dun and his daughter.

"Father, although Uncle Shi was wrong, he was not guilty as much as Gong Ding. At least let Uncle Shi and his daughter meet, so that Father will not be accused of killing his brothers by future generations."

As expected, the words "harming brothers" stung the emperor. He raised his eyebrows and snorted in displeasure.

If other people saw the emperor like this, they would know that he was furious and should not say anything.

It's a pity that Hongshi is a fool. He continued to persuade the emperor, "Father, our eighth uncle, tenth uncle and seventeenth uncle have committed a serious mistake. No punishment is too much.

It’s just that Gongding and I are brothers, and the late emperor’s sons are also the emperor’s closest brothers, especially my fourteenth uncle, who is your brother from the same mother.

I think that if the Emperor were still alive, he would definitely want to see loving fathers and filial sons, and friendly brothers and respectful younger brothers.

Therefore, even if my uncles have done something wrong, I would like to ask the Emperor to show some mercy."

A trace of anger appeared on the emperor's face. He felt that Hongshi had not finished speaking yet, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Highness, although my mother did something wrong before, it was indeed because she was coerced and had no choice.

Now that I have been under house arrest for a long time, I have realized my mistakes.

Concubine Wan harmed countless people and was demoted to a commoner. However, she was able to be restored to her original position outside the palace and even became pregnant again.

Mother... Mother should also be restored to her rightful place. After all, Mother has truly repented, Father Huang!"

"As soon as you came here today, you pleaded for many people." The emperor laughed out of anger, which made the third prince suddenly think that his father was very happy.

"I just think that it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them, so I am willing to plead for my uncles and mother."

"Forget about the others, but you actually want to plead for your eighth uncle."

"Father Emperor, Uncle Eight is also your brother..."

"Since you insist on pleading for your eighth uncle, why not become his son?" The emperor's tone seemed relaxed, but his words were very heavy.

"Your Majesty, Father Your Majesty, I am only begging for mercy on behalf of my uncles. Do you not want me anymore?"

"It's not that I don't want you, but you want to abandon me. As a son, you can forgive the person who tried to murder your father, which shows that you don't have me as your father in your heart.

In this case, you can become your eighth uncle's son."

"Su Peisheng!"

The emperor shouted, and Su Peisheng rushed in, "Hongshi is filial and took the initiative to ask for permission to take care of his uncle until his death. I am very pleased.

Since this was the case, he was allowed to be Yunsi's son to fulfill his filial piety.

However, Yunsi had already been stripped of his yellow belt due to his crimes, and his name no longer appeared in the Jade Book.

Since Hongshi is his son now, he should follow his father’s example and also take off his yellow belt.”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have never wanted to be my eighth uncle's son. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Hongshi felt scared at this moment. He hurriedly saluted and prayed for the emperor's forgiveness.

"Hongshi, even if you are not talented, you are my eldest son after all. You are not as knowledgeable as Hongli and Hongzhou, so I discipline you in every way; you are weak but bold, coveting my stepmother and not repenting, so I am lenient with you in every way because you are still young.

But how did you treat me? I am your elder, your father, and you always criticize and ridicule me. Do you have the heart of a son?

Go, Hongshi, I no longer have a son like you."

"Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong, Your Majesty." Hongshi was almost in tears. He pushed Su Peisheng away and kowtowed to the emperor again.

"I just miss you, mother, and I beg you for mercy. Father, please forgive me!"

Hongshi's voice was filled with grief, but the emperor had already stopped looking at him and signaled Su Peisheng to pull him out of the Yangxin Palace.

The Third Prince's voice became increasingly distant. The Emperor looked at the words in front of him and suddenly let out a sigh.

When the news reached the harem, even Ling Rong was surprised. Hongli was indeed the smartest of the three princes. With just a little effort, he got rid of the eldest son Hongshi.

It seems that the Fourth Prince knew about Concubine Wan's affairs, otherwise he would not have resorted to harming his brothers to protect himself.

However, the benefits are also obvious. The Fifth Prince also lost a strong rival, and both of them are one step closer to that position.

Lingrong was thinking about how to get the Fifth Prince to build a good relationship with Concubine Tian. The two of them could rely on each other, and there would be nothing wrong with one sitting on the throne of empress and the other sitting on the throne of crown prince.

But before Lingrong could come up with any good idea, Tangdi came in and informed Lingrong that the Fifth Prince wanted to see her.

Now that the Fifth Prince has lost his mother, Concubine Yu, he is more reserved than before, but his eyes and eyebrows still reveal his former self.

"Your son pays respects to Madam Sheng."

"Fifth Prince, there is no need to be so polite. You came to see me today. Is there something you want to ask?"

The Fifth Prince nodded. He didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly, "Hongli has taken action against the Third Prince. I think I will be the next one."

“Hongshi was wrong in pleading for someone who shouldn’t be pleading, he was stupid and arrogant, but you are not that kind of person.

If you are really worried that Hongli will trip you up, why not get sick from today on. Maybe your concession will make him stop. "

The Fifth Prince was not the type to be tolerant and yield. When he heard Ling Rong say this about him, his brows immediately furrowed. "You are too cowardly to run away when encountering problems. Madam Sheng, I never thought that you are such a person."

"Why? Rather than confront him head-on and end up with both sides suffering, it is better to be patient and lie dormant for the time being, and then find the right opportunity to strike.

Although it hurts to cut someone with a blunt knife, killing him with one blow is the most time-saving and labor-saving method. "

Ling Rong was too lazy to preach to him, "If you already have an idea and need my help, just tell me.

If I can help you, I will definitely help you, but if it means killing someone, forget it."

"No matter what, I never thought that Empress Sheng would care about other people's lives." Today, Ling Rong is no longer just the daughter of the county magistrate. She also has a younger brother who is a seventh-rank official and is highly valued by the emperor.

But the Fifth Prince still looked down on her. After all, with such a poor family background, the people raised by her would never be as good as those noble ladies.

Look at her, she is so timid and cowardly, which is really unpleasant. But she is really capable, so it's okay to get close to her.

The Fifth Prince sighed quietly and shook his head, "Although the people in the palace kept their mouths shut, I have also heard some news.

It's easy to tell that the matter between the Fourth Prince and Concubine Wan is groundless, but there is still no conclusion yet. I guess some people have prepared sufficient evidence.

The third elder brother once coveted his stepmother. Although she was born a lowly maid, she did catch the emperor's eye.

This thoughtless agreement with Na Ying caught the emperor's eye. Now the fourth prince is doing the same thing, and the emperor is afraid that he believes it a little bit because of the previous experience.

That's why the Fourth Prince is so anxious, busy getting rid of his brothers, so that he can become the one that the Emperor Father is unwilling to touch... or cannot touch."

"You don't have to say this, everyone knows it. The question is, what do you want to do when you come to me today?" Ling Rong was also a little impatient, so she interrupted him, "If you are in urgent need of a backer, I don't recommend you choose me.

After all, you know very well that my mother's family can't give you any help.

Among the concubines who are on good terms with me, the only one who best meets your requirements is Concubine Tian.

I can make an introduction for you, but it depends on what you can offer in exchange."

“Madam Sheng, although I don’t like you very much, it is most comfortable to talk and do things with you.

I know what you want. If I can take that position one day, I will treat my eighth brother like the emperor treats his thirteenth uncle, okay?"

Ling Rong nodded. She did not continue to urge Hong Zhou to make any oaths, "If Hong Yu is really capable in the future, maybe he can help you a little.

If he really has no ability, there is no need to care too much about him.

The saddest people in the royal family are the women. As long as you can take good care of your sister Youning, everything will be fine."

"I like Sister Youning very much, so I won't let her suffer. It would be best if she stayed in the capital so I can see her every day."

"Come back after dinner. I will convince Concubine Tian."

"Then I will wait for good news from Empress Sheng," Hong Zhou just stood up, but he showed a shy smile again, "But I have finished reviewing my studies, so there is nothing to do when I return to my prince's residence.

Madam Sheng, why don't you let me and my eighth brother play together for a while, so as to improve our relationship."

Ling Rong looked at him steadily, and then smiled, "Mu Jin, take the Fifth Prince to the side hall. Prepare more food. The children will get hungry soon if they play around."

"Your son thanks Madam Sheng."

Hong Zhou bowed and followed Mu Jin to the side hall.

Zhaoshui followed for a few steps and saw the Fifth Prince enter the side hall. Then he turned around and called "Your Majesty".

"Don't worry, Fifth Prince is afraid." He showed a playful smile, "Fourth Prince acted too quickly, he had almost no helpers in the Forbidden City, but he was able to use his words to prevent Third Prince from competing for the throne.

Hong Zhou's status in the palace is far inferior to that of the Third Prince. Even if he is unwilling, he can only find a way to recognize a mother."

"That being said, Fifth Prince's attitude... I feel angry for the queen."

"This attitude is fine. If it's like the Fourth Prince's, I'm afraid that even if I help him, I'll be suspected to death.

Okay, let's grab some stuff and go to the Yanxi Palace. Concubine Tian has been waiting for so long, and this time she is finally one step closer to becoming the queen."

"What about the Fifth Prince?"

"Don't worry, Fanglin and Fanghua are with him, he won't have the chance to do anything. Besides, he won't do anything."

Lingrong adjusted the hairpin on her head, and asked Zhaoshui to prepare an extra gift before going to the Yanx Palace to find Concubine Tian.

After giving the second gift to Xia Dongchun, the Fifth Prince had decided what he wanted to do. However, whether Concubine Tian could successfully become the Fifth Prince's adoptive mother depended on her own ability. Lingrong could at most blow some pillow talk and try to persuade the Emperor. Apart from that, there was no other good way.

Actually not.

Ling Rong stood at the gate of Yanxi Palace, her eyes wandering to Jingren Palace where the queen was. The door there was tightly closed, and as she walked past, she could smell a rotten smell.

When she reached the door, Lingrong heard the sound of it opening. Huichun poked her head out from behind the door and saw that Lingrong was not at all shocked.

"May your Majesty, Concubine Sheng, be well and safe."

"Huichun," Lingrong stopped and looked towards the dim interior of Jingren Palace under the midday sun. "Does the Queen have anything to say?"

Huichun nodded, then quickly shook her head, "Madam Shengfei, the Madam asked me to come and ask if the Third Prince is still in the palace?"

"Third Prince..." Ling Rong sighed, "He is no longer in the palace. The emperor issued an edict, saying that Third Prince's filial piety is rare, so he asked him to be the son of Eighth Master.

The Queen should know that the Eighth Master was imprisoned in the clan residence and could not educate the Third Prince, so the Third Prince was temporarily sent to the Prince Heng's residence."

Huichun was stunned for a moment, she opened her mouth, as if she was a little unconvinced, but they did find out the emperor's will, but they were not well-informed enough.

"Mrs. Qi...didn't Mrs. Li plead for the Third Prince?"

"Li Ying is under house arrest, I'm afraid she doesn't know the news at all." Ling Rong pretended to sigh, "Besides, the emperor has been very worried about the matter between the Fourth Prince and Concubine Wan recently, I'm afraid the Third Prince has fallen into someone else's trap and has become an outlet for him to vent his anger.

Huichun, if the Queen doesn't know how the Third Prince is doing now, you should just keep it a secret.

The Queen is not in good health, and I am afraid that her headache will get worse because of this. If she gets hurt, it will be my fault."

"On behalf of the Empress, I would like to thank Concubine Sheng." Huichun bowed and slowly closed the door of Jingren Palace with a dull sound.
