An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Your Majesty, now Concubine Qi has been confined to her house. It seems that the Emperor has determined that Concubine Zhen was harmed by Concubine Qi."

Zhaoshui combed Lingrong's hair. It was hot in the summer, so she kept it very fresh and didn't put too many decorations on her head.

Ling Rong looked around with satisfaction, and then put on the jade earrings. "If the emperor really believed that it was Concubine Qi who did it, I'm afraid he would have called Lord Hai and Lord Guaerjia into the palace and explained everything clearly.

Now, Guarjia Wenyuan is only under house arrest. I think the emperor still has doubts and wants to investigate further."

"But Master Ling Lang suffered a lot because he suspected that the evidence was fabricated by the Empress. Lord Guaerjia relied on his high position and power to make things difficult for him on official business many times, causing Master to be reprimanded a lot."

Zhaoshui sighed, she was really worried about Lingrong. After all, this was purely an unprovoked disaster brought about by the emperor. Now that she was targeted by the Guarjia clan, it would be even more difficult for the An family to move up to a higher position with the young master.

"Ling Lang said we don't need to care, so let's just ignore it." Ling Rong was still staring at the mirror. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and said in a relaxed tone, "Since the emperor has asked me to bear the responsibility of testifying against Qi Changzai, he will repay this debt to Ling Lang. Although the emperor is heartless, he is not completely inhumane.

Moreover, judging from the previous dynasties, the emperor can be considered a wise ruler."

"Your Majesty, this is presumptuous." Although they were in Chengqian Palace, Zhaoshui reminded quietly, "Then let's deal with the rumors in the harem.

Although Concubine Qi had a bad reputation, she did have some connections in the palace.

If this matter implicates Her Majesty, I'm afraid that the affairs of the six palaces will be difficult to manage. If the princess and the eighth prince also suffer, wouldn't it make Her Majesty even more worried?"

Ling Rong could be indifferent to her own affairs, but when it comes to the two children, she has to think more. "After this news spread, my relationship with Qi Changzai has reached a freezing point. I'm afraid that if someone takes advantage of Qi Changzai's misfortune at this time, it will be held against me.

The most urgent task is to control the rumors in the palace. In the past, people liked to spread rumors about the deep sisterly love between Qi Changzai and Zhen Changzai. Now, they just need to spread rumors about the deep master-servant love between the Empress and Huichun.

Anyway, those people in the harem just love to gossip, and they would be so happy if there were new topics to talk about.

As for those who say that I am taking advantage of your misfortune, let them say whatever they want, but if anyone is heard saying bad things about the Queen, they must be severely punished, do you understand?"

Zhaoshui was stunned for only a moment before he understood Lingrong's plan. If rumors were severely suppressed, it would only lead to a more terrible backlash. "I understand."

The Queen loves to spread rumors to harm others, and now it’s time for her to taste the bitter fruit of her own actions.

"Is there any more news coming from Ling Lang?"

"Master Ling Lang mentioned what Guaerjia had done, and another thing was that Prince Guo had left for Ningguta." Zhaoshui recalled the news in the letter, "My queen, did Prince Guo go to Ningguta for Concubine Xu?"

"Of course it's for her, otherwise do you think he did it for Huanbi?" Lingrong shook her head, holding her breath in her heart, not knowing whether it was because Zhen Huan was too lucky, or because she felt sorry for Huanbi who couldn't get what she wanted. "Even if Huanbi used some tricks to marry Prince Guo, she still couldn't get the favor of Prince Guo.

It will also be used as an excuse to become a foil to her good sister again and again."

“I still don’t understand how Prince Guo and Concubine Xu came to have true feelings for each other.

At that time, Concubine Xu had a closer relationship with Imperial Physician Wen Shichu. If she felt unwell at the slightest, Imperial Physician Wen would rush over, fearing that something had happened to Concubine Xu.

What did Prince Guo do to help Concubine Xu? He wrote love poems and threatened key witnesses, pushing Concubine Xu into the fire pit every time.

Rather than saying that Prince Guo likes Concubine Xu, it’s better to say that he hates Concubine Xu.”

“You don’t understand this, it’s the love-hate relationship between them, the more they hurt and help each other, the deeper their love becomes.

Think about it, if one day you suffer a hardship and are demoted to a remote area to suffer.

If someone suddenly appears and keeps saying that he or she likes you, and even says that he or she is on his way, would you be moved?"

Following Ling Rong's words, Zhao Shui really started to think about it. When she heard the word "on the way", she felt her scalp explode and rubbed her arms repeatedly, "No, no, I won't feel moved. I will only feel that this person is unwilling to tell the truth. What a shame to be so secretive."

"This is what you don't understand," Lingrong said with a mischievous smile, "This sentimental lady is very reserved in her love, if you say it out loud, I'm afraid she will think that Prince Guo has other intentions.

So the words must be vague, the actions must be direct, and as for the eyes, they must be separated immediately, with a pitiful look of looking at but not daring to reach."

Ling Rong has read a lot of scripts over the years and has been able to summarize some patterns. If she were to write it, it would certainly be touching and lingering, but she has no love in her heart, she will be like Zhao Shui, unable to experience the pleasure of pulling at all.

The two were talking about the relationship between Prince Guo and Zhen Huan when Mu Jin ran in quickly. She shouted "My Queen" and told Ling Rong the news that Prince Guo was assassinated on the way to Ningguta.

"Prince Guo was assassinated? Do you know whether he is alive or dead?"

Mu Jin took a breath and shook her head. "I don't know the news yet. I only heard that he was assassinated."

Lingrong didn't know that Prince Guo had not gone to Ningguta at all. He only sent his servants. She was shocked to hear the news. She didn't know who was bold enough to assassinate the emperor's brother.

"I listened for a while, but only heard this piece of news. It seems that the incident happened suddenly, and I only had time to pass on this news.

I heard that Doctor He and others have left the palace. I think they are going to rescue Prince Guo."

Mu Jinhua spoke very quickly, but fortunately her words were clear, so Ling Rong also understood the real situation, "We called the imperial physician instead of the coroner, so I think Prince Guo's life is safe.

I don't know who did this, but it's so bold."

But this matter was of great importance, and Ling Rong did not dare to ask anyone openly, "Mu Jin, you go down first. You must keep what you just said a secret, and don't tell anyone else, understand?"

Mu Jin quickly responded and went downstairs. Zhao Shui closed the door and asked Ling Rong in a low voice, "Your Majesty must have some news in the Yangxin Palace. Do you want me to go and find out?"

"Don't do anything unnecessary at this time. While the eyes of the Yangxin Palace are on Prince Guo, it is most important for you to spread the rumors about the Queen first."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll do it right away." Zhaoshui knew that this matter concerned the Your Majesty herself and was more important. As for Prince Guo's matter, she would just leave it to him for now.

That night, the news of Prince Guo's death reached the palace. Hearing that the emperor had not slept all night, several imperial doctors were sent out. Even the emperor himself wanted to visit Prince Guo, but was finally stopped by several ministers on the pretext of guaranteeing the emperor's safety.

Ling Rong had no idea of ​​the emperor and Prince Guo's plans. When she heard that the emperor had fainted from grief, she could only follow the empress and others to the Yangxin Palace to take care of the emperor.

After two days of tossing and turning, the emperor finally "woken up" and, suppressing his grief, sent people to investigate the truth behind Prince Guo's death.

After this investigation, the emperor actually discovered that the person who did this was actually a member of the Guwaljia clan.

"My daughter is causing trouble in the harem, but you are harming people in the front court. Both of you are too radical in doing things. Why don't you think about me? How will such a big incident end?"

"Your Majesty, we only found a token at the scene. This thing is very easy to copy. I'm afraid someone deliberately left it behind in order to frame me."

Guaerjia Emin's attitude was not very respectful. As soon as he saw the emperor, he began to defend himself, "Besides, I have never had any hatred with Prince Guo, and I have no reason to murder Prince Guo!

Your Majesty, please be clear-headed and clear my name."

"I sent people to the scene, and they only found this one thing.

Apart from this, there is no further evidence to support the claim that someone else did it.”

The emperor spoke in a gentle tone, as if he really did not doubt Guarjia Emin. "Since you said someone framed you, my dear, why don't you tell me who the suspect is?"

Guwaljia Emin really took advantage of the situation and he spoke impatiently, saying that it was possible that Haishou was framing him.

“Your Majesty, you also know that something happened between my daughter in your harem and Zhen Changzai in Lord Hai’s house. Now my daughter has even been slandered by Concubine Sheng as the murderer of Zhen Changzai.

After the news spread outside the palace, Lord Hai brought people to my door and demanded that I give him an explanation no matter what.

But Your Majesty, you also know that Concubine Qi is in poor health and timid, and she even missed a selection. She finally entered the palace, so naturally she has to be cautious and serve Your Majesty seriously. How could she dare to do such a bad thing?

But no matter how I explained, Lord Hai refused to believe it, and even insisted that I was the one who killed him. "

Guarjia Emin wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed continuously, "I tried to persuade him with kind words, but he pushed me and threw me to the ground, almost wanting to fight me.

In order to protect myself, I called the servants over and asked Lord Hai to leave. "

"please?"

Facing the emperor's question, Guarjia Emin paused for a moment, and looked at the emperor hesitantly, "Because Lord Hai was so angry, as soon as he saw the servants coming in, he immediately ordered his men to take action.

The servants were worried about my safety, so they also rose up to resist. The two sides fought, but fortunately, no one was hurt.

However, under such a conflict, it was impossible to sit down and talk it out. Lord Hai left in anger and left a harsh remark, telling me to wait and he would make me and Qi Changzai pay the price. "

Guwalgia Emin spoke vividly and the emperor frowned as he listened, obviously not believing that these two ministers could be so absurd in private.

"I am investigating the matter of Zhen Changzai, and I have also informed Lord Hai about the situation. How could he possibly seek you out in private, or even have a physical conflict with you?"

"Lord Hai said that since the emperor has already confined Qi Changzai to his house, it means that he has determined that Qi Changzai is the real murderer. My daughter killed his daughter. No matter what the emperor decides, I must give him an explanation."

Guaerjia Emin never mentioned what he had said to provoke Lord Hai. He just kept saying that Hai Shou forced him hard and he had no choice but to call the servants over to give him courage.

"I have already told him that the emperor has not yet figured out the whole story, so please wait a little longer, Lord Hai.

But Lord Hai did not listen to my advice and still insisted on his own way. I had no choice but to let things come to this.

When Lord Hai left, he threatened that I and Qi Changzai would have to pay the price. Now Prince Guo has been assassinated, and the token from my mansion was left at the scene.

Therefore, I have to suspect that it was Lord Hai who did this to frame me, so that I could pay the price he said, Your Majesty.

Therefore, this matter was definitely not done by this humble minister. Please, Your Majesty, I will prove my innocence."

Seeing Guarjia Emin so excited, the emperor laughed in his heart. He nodded and quickly mentioned another matter, "A few days ago, Qi Changzai asked me why Prince Guo suddenly investigated you. This matter can't be false."

“This…” Guaerjia Emin didn’t expect the emperor to bring up this matter again, so he was a little flustered. “Prince Guo did send people to check on the people around me many times, and there was even a servant named Chen Si who was captured by Prince Guo.

Your Majesty, even though he is a prince, he has no right to come to my residence to arrest people.

I went to ask for an explanation, but Prince Guo avoided me and made up the excuse that his wife was ill.

I was harassed so much that I had no choice but to send a letter to the palace, asking Qi Changzai to help ask the emperor. "

"So, you did have a dispute with Prince Guo. Why did you deny it again and again and insist that you had no motive to kill Prince Guo?"

"This... I thought that Prince Guo might be investigating the case under the order of the Emperor. I thought that Prince Guo could not possibly meet me because he had his own reasons. So I did not argue with Prince Guo and asked everyone in the palace to cooperate.

Your Majesty, I cannot say that my behavior has any grudge against Prince Guo."

Guaerjia Emin was still quibbling, and he once again pointed the finger at Lord Hai, "It is Lord Hai who has constant friction and conflict with me. I am already exhausted just by dealing with Lord Hai's provocations. How can I spare the energy to murder Prince Guo?

Your Majesty, please do not let this villain blind you, Your Majesty."

"Why, do you mean that because I doubt you, I am incompetent and incompetent?"

Guaerjia Emin begged for mercy again and again. How could he dare to say anything bad about the emperor? "I know that the emperor is extremely sad about the death of Prince Guo. It is reasonable for him to suspect me. I just want to defend myself and have no intention of mocking the emperor."
