An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"The Imperial Hospital is very strict about the drugs it uses. There are only two possibilities for making such an addictive drug."

The Queen paused deliberately, her eyes falling on the Emperor, "First, the Imperial Hospital had a doctor to help get the medicine and forge the corresponding evidence.

The second is to send it from outside the palace to the palace and have it made into medicine by someone who knows medicine."

"Isn't this a coincidence?" Concubine Qi showed a slightly mean smile, "The Imperial Physician He, the director of the Imperial Hospital, has a good relationship with Concubine Sheng, and Concubine Sheng also has a female doctor Zhao Shui by her side.

Whether inside or outside the palace, Concubine Sheng is the most likely person to have made this addictive drug."

"What Lady Qi said is interesting. For quite some time, there have been various famous doctors in the palace, and the Empress has been treating the Sixth and Seventh Princes.

I heard that Guaerjia also recommended several famous doctors, but none of them had any good way to cure the two princes.

If that's the case, then you, Lady Qi, have a good chance of making medicine, right?"

"What you said is funny. What grudge do I have against that Wan Guiren that I would drug the Seventh Prince and frame her?"

Lingrong raised her handkerchief to hide her smile, but her curved eyebrows could not be ignored no matter what.

"Noble Qi knows it very well, but as concubines, we should not interfere too much in the affairs of the court.

But there is a conflict between the two families, so why should Concubine Qi pretend to be stupid? "

Just as Concubine Qi was about to open her mouth to refute, Ling Rong raised her hand to stop her, "Since the Queen and Concubine Qi have doubts, why not check the registration books of the Imperial Hospital and the material exchanges with the outside of the palace."

Lingrong glanced at Concubine Tian. She was in charge of this matter. If any clues were really found out, she would not be able to escape.

Who told you to target me just because of the emperor? Now that I drag you into this, we are even.

"Now this matter..."

"It's all my responsibility." Concubine Tian responded to the Queen's words. She thought to herself that something was wrong and she could not continue watching the show.

After all, if he couldn't say anything at this moment, the emperor would suspect that he was incompetent.

I don't want to give up the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may I ask Sang'er to get the account book?" Concubine Tian bowed slightly, the Emperor nodded, and Sang'er left quickly.

"I have been in charge of the accounts for such a long time that I do know a thing or two. The communication between the Imperial Hospital and the palace is strictly checked, and there are indeed no prohibited drugs entering or leaving.

But to avoid... Noble Lady Qi thinking that I am deliberately covering up for her, the sisters will have to wait for a while and look at the registration book."

"When did I say I had doubts? Isn't it like the thief crying thief that Empress Tian is defending me like this?"

Concubine Qi felt strange. Why were everyone looking for trouble with her today? Even Concubine Tian was helping An Lingrong, and she was clearly adding insult to injury just now.

"You like to gossip so much, it seems that you have a good relationship with Concubine Chun." Concubine Tian glanced at Concubine Chun, "Concubine Chun, do you have anything to ask?"

Concubine Chun sat there like an invisible person for a long time. When she was asked by Concubine Tian, ​​her expression changed. She shook her head but her eyes were fixed on the Queen.

"I have nothing to ask. Imperial Doctor Zhou had already examined the Seventh Prince at that time. His death had little to do with those so-called addictive drugs.

If you want to blame someone, you should blame me for not taking good care of Honghui, which led to his early death."

As she spoke, Concubine Chun began to cry, unable to control her emotions. "It's all my fault that Honghui has to suffer in this world."

The more she spoke, the sadder she became. Even the emperor was moved and asked Xue'er to help her up.

The Queen also softened her tone and whispered something nonsense about there being another chance in the future, but unfortunately Concubine Chun cried even harder and didn't respond a single word.

"Xue'er, help Concubine Chun to wash up."

The Queen did not feel embarrassed. After all, she was the Queen. Even if Concubine Chun ignored her, so what? She still had to be obedient, go downstairs, tidy up her clothes and come back.

"According to Concubine Chun, the Seventh Prince's illness was not caused by the drug." Concubine Tian finally spoke up for Ling Rong. "In that case, what Bai Zhi said cannot be used as evidence."

"Yes," Xia Dongchun responded, "What's more interesting is that the medicine she was carrying had long since expired, and it was impossible to tell what it was, so how could we compare it?

I have something to say that is not appropriate, but all of you sisters have been more or less affected by the extravagance of Concubine Wan.

There are more than one or two people who are jealous of her."

"Lady Xia, if all acts of harming others are written off simply because they have not caused any real harm, then wouldn't the palace's rules and regulations become mere decorations?"

The Queen's tone changed very quickly. It seemed gentle but every word was full of thorns. Xia Dongchun stammered, knowing that he couldn't go against the Queen, so he had to shut his mouth obediently.

No one said anything in the hall, only the sound of people breathing. Soon, Concubine Chun and Sang'er came back one after another.

Concubine Tian handed the account book to the emperor for review before handing it over to the queen for further review.

Concubine Tian's account book was actually very well done. After all, she was a woman from an aristocratic family and had some experience in housekeeping.

But as she said, the content from last month has not been sorted out yet and looks a bit messy.

The emperor's brows were furrowed and relaxed, and no one knew what he saw.

Lingrong also wanted to take a look, but she believed that Concubine Tian would not reveal He Anming, so she still had a calm expression at this moment, without any fear.

After the Emperor and the Empress had read it, they did not find anything unusual. They closed the copies in their hands, looked at each other, and then exchanged them.

"There's nothing unusual in this register. Did the Queen notice anything?"

When the queen heard the emperor's question, she could only force a smile and said, "I didn't notice anything."

"There is nothing unusual in the registers of the Imperial Hospital's dealings with the palace and the outside world, which is enough to prove that I have not developed any addictive drugs.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Bai Zhi was not recommended by me to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau.

It was the Emperor's orders as to who she was assigned to take care of, and I knew nothing about it.

Since I have done her no favors, why should she work so hard for me?"

Ling Rong called Bai Zhi and said, "If you have evidence that I bribed you, you can bring it out as evidence. Otherwise, don't blame me and think that you were framed by someone."

"What a joke! If you hadn't done her any favors, why would she write such flattering words about you in her letter?"

"What Noble Lady Qi said is funny. If I were to write a letter about you right now, I would praise you for being so beautiful that fishes could sink to the bottom of their waters and geese could fall to the ground, and the moon could hide in shame on flowers.

Does this prove that you have done me a favor?"

This naturally cannot prove anything. Concubine Qi opened her mouth, snorted in her heart, and decided not to speak again.

"Your servant... Your servant..." Bai Zhi kowtowed twice, she pulled open her sleeves, revealing the wound on her arm, "Your servant was threatened, that medicine was not given to you by Concubine Sheng, it was just an appetite-stimulating medicine that your servant took at random.

That’s why Imperial Physician Zhou was able to see that this medicine is very similar to Sijunzi Decoction.”

"There is no point in saying more. Who told you to do this?" He had no patience to listen to Bai Zhi talking about her miserable experience. The wounds on the latter's body were nothing more than a stain to the emperor.

Bai Zhi's body trembled, and her eyes drifted towards the Queen.

How could the Queen not know at this time that she had fallen into someone else's trap? Her heart was in a state of panic, but her face remained calm. "You wrote this letter yourself. You said that I was threatening you. Do you have any evidence?"

"The scars on my body are evidence. Huichun, who was beside the Queen, found me yesterday. She asked me about the Seventh Prince and whether I helped Concubine Sheng murder the Seventh Prince and frame Concubine Wan.

This incident has never happened, so I naturally do not admit it.

But Huichun became furious and ordered her servant to beat me severely. She also wrote this letter and asked me to hand it to the Queen personally.

She even threatened the slaves that she would poison them to death if they did not agree.

After all, I am not serving any master now, so no one will care if I die.

But Huichun said that if this was really accomplished, the Queen would be willing to take me with her and make me her maidservant. "

Bai Zhi spoke very clearly, without any pretended fear. But no one cared about her. They were all focused on what the Queen was doing.

"Before I recovered, Huichun and Xiuxia were transferred out of Jingren Palace. I didn't have any chance to give them any instructions, let alone find you and forge a letter."

"I have evidence. The gold hairpin given to me by Huichun is still in my hand!" Baizhi took out the gold hairpin from her arms. The concubines naturally didn't recognize it, but the maids who were familiar with Huichun could naturally recognize it.

"This... This is the golden hairpin that the Queen gave to Huichun. She has shown it off to us many times, so she was very impressed."

When Concubine Qi heard what Jingtai said, she repeated it to her. As a result, not only did the Queen fail to frame Lingrong, but she was outwitted and became the bad person who framed others.

"It's just a golden hairpin," the Queen said indifferently. She looked at Bai Zhi and said, "This is a hairpin I gave you as a reward. Not only the maids in Jingren Palace know this, but even the other servants know this very well.

If I use this thing to bribe others, it will be discovered immediately.

From what I can see, maybe someone ordered the maid to steal it so as to frame her."

Lingrong also knew that even when Queen Chunyuan was killed by the Queen, the Emperor did not depose the Queen, so this little thing would not have any impact on the Queen.

The worst outcome was that the servant Bai Zhi was sentenced to death by the emperor, causing him to lose another helper.

"The person behind this is quite interesting. He bribed Bai Zhi with the hairpin of the maidservant beside the Queen, and then framed me.

After the truth is revealed, they can use it to frame the Queen.

There aren't many people with such scheming minds in the palace, don't you think so, Queen?"

The Queen also glanced over, and their eyes met in the air and fell into the eyes of the Emperor who was sitting in the middle.

“Yes, there is not a single word of truth coming out of this servant’s mouth. If you want to find out who is behind this, I’m afraid you will have to suffer a lot.

What do you think, sister?

"Your Majesty, look at the wound on her arm. She is already so badly injured. If she is tortured again, I am afraid she will not be able to survive.

I don't believe that the Queen would order her to do such a thing, so please have mercy on her and don't pursue the matter any further."

Even if Bai Zhi was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment, they would only find out that she was the one who ordered it. The empress naturally did not want the emperor to know her true nature, so she nodded and covered it up with the harmony in the harem.

"I wanted to investigate this matter privately. If my sister hadn't been so anxious, it wouldn't have come to the emperor." Until the end, the queen did not forget to put the blame on Ling Rong, "It's our fault that the emperor is worried."

Everyone followed the queen in paying their respects. The emperor nodded, and had no intention of blaming these women.

The Queen was unwilling to pursue the matter. There was only one possibility, and that was that she was the mastermind behind all this. The Emperor saw through it all, but he also felt annoyed.

“The queen is in poor health, so please don’t bother her with these trivial matters in the future.

Concubine Jing, the affairs of this palace should be handled by you, along with Concubine Sheng and Concubine Tian. Remember to report to the Queen regularly.

Queen, please take good care of yourself and don't make me worry too much."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely take care of my body and not make Your Majesty worry."

The queen hurriedly agreed, and when she looked up, the emperor stood up and left. The other concubines also left one after another, but Lingrong was the only one who remained sitting there, looking at the queen with a smile.

"I would also like to thank Her Majesty the Queen for allowing me to discover this potential crisis in advance.

Otherwise, if this plan is not perfected, I am afraid that I will not be able to clear the charges today and may even be punished by the Emperor.

After all, she is the emperor's most beloved concubine, right, Queen."

After Lingrong finished speaking, she pretended to be surprised and said, "I am too bold. How could the emperor love Yu Wan Guiren? It should be our queen.

After all, you are the biological sister of Queen Chunyuan, not the noble lady Wan who looks 70% like Queen Chunyuan."

"You do know a lot," the Queen sighed, "I have always believed that only Zhen could achieve the position of concubine, or even noble concubine.

But I didn't expect that you would take the throne as my concubine, drive her out of the palace, and even exile her three thousand miles away."

“Your Majesty, I have some evidence in my hands. Wan Guiren’s family was destroyed and she was exiled thousands of miles away. I’m sure the Emperor would also like to know who is behind this.

If you still want to sit on the throne of Queen, don’t let this happen again.”

Ling Rong's words were totally disrespectful. Without waiting for the Queen to say anything, she stood up and took Bai Zhi away, leaving the Queen sitting alone in the hall in a daze. She was not awakened from her thoughts until Fang Ying came over.
