An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Empress Tian is quite interesting. She pinned the blame of the emperor's illness on me based on just a few words from the imperial physician.

If someone bribes the imperial physician and makes the emperor's condition sound more serious, I'm afraid Concubine Tian will immediately punish me."

Hearing the word "private punishment", Concubine Tian glared at him unhappily, "Not to mention that I have the power to assist the six palaces, and not to mention that I am a concubine and you are just a noble lady, just the fact that the emperor is resting in your palace but his health is getting worse day by day, I am qualified to interrogate you.

Not only are you refusing to cooperate, you are also making irresponsible remarks in an attempt to slander me. Do you really think that you have everything if you are favored in this palace?"

Concubine Wan did not reply, she just smiled at Concubine Tian, ​​and her expression seemed to say, isn't it?

"Empress Tian is not wrong. If you are favored by the Emperor, you can have everything in this palace."

It seems that Concubine Xin was against Concubine Tian, ​​and what she said was indeed sincere, otherwise she would not have tried so hard to cater to the former Zhen Huan and the current Zhen Yurao.

Because in her eyes, only with the emperor's favor could she take her daughter back to raise her.

Seeing children being born one after another in the palace and being raised by their mothers, it was almost impossible for Concubine Xin not to feel envy and jealousy.

But she looked down on some people who were favored, so she failed again and again and still couldn't find the one she could rely on the most.

But both Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang in the previous life were more reliable than Ling Rong and Concubine Tian in this life. It's just that these two people are trapped in their own cocoons and have no energy to help Concubine Xin gain favor.

Now, Concubine Xin has set her sights on Concubine Wan again, but I don’t know if she will get what she wants this time.

Lingrong just watched from the sidelines without saying anything. What's more, Concubine Tian had a very sharp tongue. She might not be able to win the argument with someone as bookish as Zhen Huan, but she didn't need to worry at all if she met Concubine Xin, who was of lower rank than her.

"Noble Lady Xin would love to be happy for Noble Lady Wan, but it's a pity that no matter how you stick to her, you won't get even a little favor from the Emperor."

"I'm happy for my sisters. Concubine Tian can do something like this, right?" Concubine Xin said sarcastically, but her eyes fell on Ling Rong's face. "You are so close to Concubine Sheng and Concubine Xia, you should understand me."

"Understand? Understand what?"

Concubine Tian would not explain her actions. She directly asked, "Do you understand that your purpose of defending Concubine Wan every time is to win favor, or do you understand that you support Concubine Wan just to attract more attacks on her?

I will never understand this kind of thing in my life."

"You! Madam Concubine Tian, ​​you said this in public just to embarrass me.

But even if your dignity has been trampled under the feet of Her Majesty, I still want to say a word for Concubine Wan. The Emperor's illness may have many reasons, and the most important thing is to ask the imperial physician to diagnose and treat him properly.

Instead of just staring at a favorite concubine and ridiculing and suppressing her, it will not only fail to solve anything, but will also make the emperor angry.

That would be even worse for the emperor's health, don't you think... Queen."

Concubine Xin paused and immediately turned to look at the Queen. She and Concubine Tian were tired of arguing, so she simply pulled the Queen, who was watching from the sidelines, down to avoid everyone just watching the joke.

The queen was very considerate and spoke immediately, "The imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital has taken the emperor's pulse many times and prescribed medicine, but the medicine is strong and the emperor needs to reduce the number of times he enters the harem.

This palace also knows that it is not good to make this matter known to the public, but for the sake of the emperor's health, I would like to ask the sisters in each palace to give more advice.

Especially Concubine Sheng, Concubine Wan, Concubine Qi and others. The Emperor likes to visit the three of you recently, so you need to be more considerate. "

The queen pinched her brows. The emperor's health was getting worse and worse, which should have been a good thing for her. However, when she thought about the emperor being tortured by illness, the queen couldn't bear to ignore it.

But the emperor refused to listen to her. Even when she sent medicine to him, quarrels often occurred. It was rare for the emperor to drink the medicine when he was happy.

If not, there would be no need for the Queen to mention these matters when paying her respects.

It’s a pity that the concubines in the harem are only thinking about how to win favor. They don’t care about the emperor’s health at all, even the emperor’s most beloved woman.

Rouze and women who look like Rouze are the same. Apart from competing for favor, they will also consume the emperor's body and vitality.

But the emperor loves them the most. If you say a word of advice, he will scold you. Apart from her face, I don’t know what is worthy of liking about Concubine Wan.

The Empress suppressed her anger, she looked at Concubine Wan, and tried to comfort her in a gentle tone, "Concubine Wan, the Emperor has visited you the most often, and he really dotes on you.

So the emperor will probably listen to what you say, so I'll leave it to you to persuade the emperor to take care of his health."

"Your Highness, Empress Tian also said that I am a noble lady, so how can I make requests to the Emperor?

This kind of thing should be done by Concubine Tian. I'm afraid the Queen has found the wrong person."

Concubine Wan shook her head and rejected the Empress without even thinking about it. She seemed to be venting Concubine Xin's anger, "The Empress just said that the Emperor also went to the Yanxi Palace many times in January.

As a concubine, Concubine Tian has the power to assist in managing the six palaces. I am afraid there is no one in the harem who is more suitable than her to comfort the emperor.

Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to help you with your worries."

Concubine Wan even stood up and bowed. She pretended to be innocent and pushed the responsibility onto others with just a few words. She looked more and more like Rouze.

However, Rouze would pretend to be worried about the emperor's health and use the fact that she is the emperor's wife to refuse others from serving the emperor wholeheartedly.

Then she kept showing her care around the emperor in order to gain his attention and make him like her more and more, to the point that he ignored everyone else.

But this Concubine Wan was not pretending at all, and the Queen couldn't even feel that she had any true feelings for the Emperor.

"What Concubine Wan said is interesting. As the emperor's concubine, you have the responsibility and obligation to care about the emperor's health.

The Empress has already made the request, but you still refuse to obey the Imperial Order and even want to stay out of it. You are truly unworthy of your position as a noble and have received the Emperor's favor for nothing."

Concubine Tian was a little annoyed when she heard the sarcastic tone of Concubine Wan. She sneered and said, "Anyway, as the emperor's concubine, I will definitely comfort the emperor. Even if the emperor never comes to Yanxi Palace, I will always be concerned about him.

She is nothing like Concubine Wan, who wants to push everything away by saying that her position is not high enough. If you don’t know her, you might think that Concubine Wan is concerned about her low position.

Concubine Sheng, what do you think? "

Ling Rong was drinking tea quietly, but was startled by Concubine Tian's shout. She put down the teacup in her hand without changing her expression and said, "Your Majesty's health is of course of concern to me. I have also informed the Imperial Hospital and asked them to prescribe food supplements frequently so that Your Majesty can take care of his health in his daily life.

Now that the Emperor's health has deteriorated, I'm sure that food supplements alone are not enough. I think that he still needs to consult with the imperial physicians and prescribe a suitable prescription.

Since the emperor does not want to drink it in the Yangxin Palace, distribute it to each palace. This way, no matter where the emperor goes, he will have the opportunity to take medicine. "

"Concubine Sheng's idea sounds good." Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing agreed with Ling Rong's idea. "Instead of forcing the emperor to take the medicine in the Yangxin Palace, it is better to prepare it in your own palace. This way, when the emperor goes there, he will not be too resistant."

"This method sounds good, but it is very dangerous."

The Queen did not agree with this method. She looked at Ling Rong and said, "When the Emperor takes medicine, he needs to be accompanied by an imperial physician. If the imperial physician is not here, there must also be a eunuch who tastes the food to ensure that there are no problems with the medicine and diet.

If each palace stored medicines that the emperor needed to drink, there would be no way to strictly control them. If something went wrong, it would harm the emperor's body.

Sisters, think about it, can you afford this responsibility? "

"The Queen's worries are not without reason," Ling Rong said with a smile, her eyebrows curved, without any embarrassment of being rejected by the Queen, "Although the sisters in the palace are all sincerely caring for the Emperor and will never do anything to him, this established rule cannot be broken.

It is better for us to follow the Queen's instructions and give advice to the Emperor."

Ling Rong's words were of course deliberate. She was retreating in order to advance, in order to make the concubines dissatisfied with the Empress - why could the Empress not allow the imperial physician to accompany her when she went to the Yangxin Palace to deliver medicine, but the Emperor would be suspected of murder when he came to his own palace to take medicine?

This is not just a matter of rules, but rather the Queen's distrust of everyone.

"Don't worry, sisters. The Queen is also concerned about the health of the Emperor. After all, the Emperor's illness has been recurring in the past few days, and he has not even been able to sleep all night.

As the Emperor's wife, the Empress is naturally the one who is most worried."

Ling Rong thought that since she had spoken, she could no longer give the Queen any leeway. She rolled her eyes and mentioned the two princes living in Jingren Palace again, "Now the Queen is not only busy taking care of the Emperor, but also the two princes living in Jingren Palace. She is already exhausted physically and mentally on weekdays.

So sisters in the palaces, please don't create problems for the Queen."

When Concubine Jing heard Lingrong mention the two princes, she straightened her back without saying a word. She didn't wait for the Queen to speak, and spoke directly, "The Queen is so tired now that she just can't spare the energy to take care of them.

The two princes are already old and can take good care of themselves. I think it would be better to let them stay in the prince's residence like the Fifth Prince on weekdays.

The Empress will have more energy to take care of the Emperor, and the two princes will learn to be independent, helping the Emperor solve his problems earlier."

The Empress Dowager now realized that Concubine Jing and Concubine Sheng wanted to send the two princes away so that she could not get closer to them.

Her words of sympathy for her own hard work and concern for the Emperor's health were all insincere.

"The two princes living in Jingren Palace do not require me to worry too much. Especially the third prince, he was allowed by the emperor to stay in the palace because he had to mourn for Concubine Qi.

With his current status, he was not qualified to live in the prince's residence. The Fourth Prince lived with the Third Prince in Jingren Palace to study out of consideration for the brotherhood and because he did not want the Third Prince to fall behind in his studies.

If I separate them, it would sever the bond between them. As their mother, how could I bear to do such a thing? "

The Queen was now able to allow the two princes to stay in Jingren Palace because she had thought of a plan in advance. Even if the Emperor came to ask, she would be able to handle it.

What's more, there are two concubines, Concubine Jing and Concubine Sheng. The queen felt that she could deal with them without much effort.

Lingrong stroked her jade earrings and exchanged glances with Concubine Jing from a distance.

Ling Rong nodded and lowered her eyebrows, indicating that she had heard the Queen's admonition, "No matter what mistakes the Third Prince made, he is the Emperor's eldest son after all. It will not be difficult for the Queen to plead with the Emperor to allow the Third Prince to study in the Prince's School.

Besides, the Fourth Prince is still a child himself, and he still has to study with the Grand Tutor. Even if he can relay some knowledge to the Third Prince, it will certainly not be as profound as the Grand Tutor’s interpretation.

What if all this delays the Third Prince's studies?

The Queen is the mother of two children, so I'm sure she has considered this matter carefully. Sister Jing, please don't worry too much."

On the surface, Lingrong was speaking for the Queen, but in reality she still wanted the Queen to relax her control over the two princes.

The Queen Mother thought that Ling Rong was trying to send the two princes away in order to compete for the throne.

But Lingrong thought that the Queen Mother would definitely go against her. The more she wanted the two princes to leave, the more the Queen Mother would try to keep them.

Only when the Fourth Prince was in Jingren Palace did Lingrong have the opportunity to poison him and put the blame on the Empress.

If the two princes left, it would be easier for Lingrong to poison her, but it would become difficult to frame the queen.

However, these two results are both beneficial to Lingrong, which is why she can bring them up repeatedly in front of everyone so confidently and boldly.

As long as the Queen is unhappy, Lingrong will be happy.

"The prince's studies are a big deal. I really don't want to worry about it, but I can't let it go."

Imperial Concubine Jing smiled and looked at the Empress, "But I also know that the Empress has been very worried about the Emperor's health recently and has no time to mention this matter to the Emperor.

Therefore, I thought that in two days, while I was advising Your Majesty to take the medicine, I would also mention to Your Majesty that you should ask the Third Prince to return to his studies.

I wonder if the Queen agrees with me bringing this up?"

The Queen gritted her teeth and looked between Lingrong and Concubine Jing. Even though she was unwilling a thousand times, she could only nod in agreement.
