An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After Lingrong agreed, Lady Fucha really entered the palace. She first went to the Queen's Jingren Palace and said the same things as before, wanting to see Concubine Tian.

Naturally, the Queen did not agree with her request to visit Concubine Tian, ​​and even scolded her, asking her to recognize the mistakes made by Concubine Tian and Lord Fucha, and not to rely on the Emperor's grace to come to the palace and repeatedly embarrass her.

Mrs. Fucha was scolded so badly that her face turned red and white when she came out of Jingren Palace. If she was in the back garden of the Fucha family, she would have shouted angrily.

But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and your daughter is in the hands of others.

If she was dissatisfied or resisted, I'm afraid her life in the palace would be even more miserable.

Therefore, Mrs. Fucha could only hold back her anger and even had to put on a smile to Zhuxi who sent her out.

The little maidservant beside Madam Fucha couldn't stand to see such a cowardly look. She watched Zhuxi leave and muttered a few curses on behalf of her master.

Mrs. Fucha also took the opportunity to teach the little girl a lesson and spoke in a sarcastic tone for a long time at the gate of Jingren Palace.

In fact, such behavior did not have any effect. Zhu Xi would not report every word to the Queen Mother after hearing it, but it was also a way to vent. Madam Fucha finally calmed down.

She will have to visit Lingrong next, and it would not be good to go there in anger.

The two of them calmed down and headed towards Chengqian Palace. Zhuxi, who was following them from a distance, saw everything and followed them quietly all the way.

Of course, Madam Fucha didn't know all this, but Lingrong was well prepared. After all, the Queen Mother would always have a backup plan for everything she did, and it was impossible for her not to send spies to keep an eye on Madam Fucha until she left the palace.

So Lingrong did not choose to meet in private cautiously, but went out early so that she could "just happen" to meet Noble Lady Fucha at the gate of Chengqian Palace.

"Greetings to Concubine Sheng." Lady Fucha said as she squatted down to salute.

"Madam Fucha, there's no need to be so polite. Are you here to visit Concubine Tian in the palace?" Ling Rong called out to her without waiting for Madam Fucha to greet her.

"To be honest, the Queen did not agree to my visiting Concubine Tian, ​​so I have no choice but to return home first."

"The crime of Concubine Tian is neither big nor small. The Empress dare not easily release her without the Emperor's approval. So instead of asking you to visit her in the palace, it is better to ask Master Fucha to work hard in the front court."

Madam Fucha sighed deeply, and showed helplessness on her face. "The situation in the previous dynasty was complicated and much more difficult than imagined. The help to Concubine Tian was minimal."

Ling Rong nodded without giving any further consolation. She exchanged a few more pleasantries with Madam Fucha and then invited her to sit in the main hall of Chengqian Palace.

The group slowly disappeared from Zhuxi's sight. She could no longer monitor them, so she left quickly and informed the Queen about the incident.

"Your Majesty, the person following us has left." Zhaoshui stepped forward and whispered in Lingrong's ear, "You guessed right, it was indeed someone sent by the Queen."

"It doesn't matter. Every move in this palace cannot escape the Queen's surveillance. If someone is not sent to follow Madam Fucha, I will be surprised."

"But my lady...will this disrupt our plans?"

"No, Madam Fucha came here just to ask me to help plead for mercy.

After Madam Fucha leaves, we will go to the Yangxin Palace, and the Empress will know why Madam Fucha wants to see us.

But she would never have thought that we actually wanted Madam Fucha to help us."

Zhaoshui nodded, and she went downstairs to serve tea to Madam Fucha, while Lingrong went into the main hall and chatted with Madam Fucha.

“In fact, there is no need for Madam to say more. I will naturally speak well of Concubine Tian in front of the Emperor.

When I first entered the palace, Concubine Tian helped me with many things. Now, asking the emperor for him can be considered as paying him back."

"My Lady Concubine Sheng, I feel relieved with your words."

"You should have heard about this incident. It happened while the emperor was in a coma. Before the emperor woke up, Concubine Tian was demoted and confined.

So although it was an offense to the emperor, the emperor was actually not aware of the matter.

What surprised me was that the emperor did not release Concubine Tian after he woke up. I wonder if there is some hidden reason behind this."

“To be honest with you, Your Majesty, although Concubine Tian is spoiled, she never makes mistakes on important matters.

Therefore, she would never do anything disrespectful to the emperor. Someone must have deliberately slandered her."

"Slander... Does Madam Fucha have anyone she suspects?"

"The only person we can suspect now is that person. She just used the emperor as an excuse and refused to release Concubine Tian."

"Since you knew it was her, why did you go to the palace to ask her for help?"

Ling Rong showed a puzzled look on her face. Seeing Madam Fucha sigh, she began to comfort her, "She has Princess Huai Ke as her child. The emperor will only be angry with Concubine Tian for a while, and he will release her soon."

“Empress Sheng, you should know that our goal is not only to rescue Concubine Tian, ​​but also to restore her original position.

It would be even better if you could raise the Fifth Prince as you and Concubine Tian had planned before."

Lingrong and Concubine Tian had planned to raise the fifth prince, abort the other princes one by one, and finally take the position of empress or even empress dowager.

The Fucha family also knew about these things, so they brought it up again at this moment. However, they didn't know that Lingrong had already changed her mind and would not fully consider Concubine Tian.

"This is indeed what I have been planning, but I didn't expect to meet an opponent like the Queen." Ling Rong sighed deliberately, "Now the Queen has brought the Third Prince back to the palace, and the Fourth Prince has died mysteriously.

The Fucha family, who supported the Fifth Prince behind the scenes, was impeached in the previous dynasty, and Concubine Tian was plotted against in the back court. I really don’t know if the Fifth Prince will be the next to get into trouble.”

"We were worried about this as well, so we sent invitations to the palace again and again, hoping to see the queen. Unfortunately, our luck was bad, and we always missed the chance to see the queen."

Mrs. Fucha's implication was that she was asking whether Lingrong was intentionally avoiding her.

“In fact, a few days ago, I briefly mentioned the matter of Concubine Tian to the Emperor, and the Emperor promised me that he would give it some careful consideration.

But after returning to Chengqian Palace, the Empress sent someone to question me, and in the end, I was punished to copy the palace rules and sew my pajamas, etc. "

Ling Rong was helpless. Taking advantage of the fact that Madam Fucha didn't know the specific circumstances, she changed the cause and effect of the matter and put the blame on the Empress.

Madam Fucha had never liked the Queen, and after being reprimanded today, she had no intention of figuring out whether what Lingrong said was true or false.

Even if she asked someone to inquire, she could only find out that Lingrong had a conflict with the Queen Mother, which was not much different from what Lingrong said.

So Lingrong was not worried that her lies would be exposed. She sighed and said that the Queen's power was so great that it was really helpless.

"With the full support of the Empress, perhaps the Third Prince will be able to return to the Emperor's fold. By then, he will become the eldest son, and the Empress's position will be unbreakable."

Mrs. Fucha was led by Ling Rong, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and she was obviously beginning to worry about her daughter's future.

"If the Empress succeeds, life in the palace will become increasingly difficult. Your Majesty, you and Concubine Tian must support each other so that you will not be isolated and helpless."

"Madam, rest assured, I have been friends with Concubine Tian for a long time, and we will naturally support each other.

In two days, I will go to the Emperor to plead for mercy and have Concubine Tian released from her house arrest as soon as possible. As for whether her position can be restored, it depends on Concubine Tian herself."

While they were talking, Zhaoshui just brought the tea. Lingrong used the tea to adjust her mood so as not to let Madam Fucha notice anything.

“After Concubine Tian is released from house arrest, I will discuss with her what to do next. If she wants to successfully adopt the Fifth Prince, or help him achieve greater success, she must stop the Empress’ plan.

It’s just that this matter is a little troublesome to do, so I need to plan it carefully with Concubine Tian.”

"Your Majesty thinks so much about Concubine Tian. It is really a blessing for her."

"Madam Fucha, you are too polite. This is not only for Concubine Tian, ​​but also for myself." Lingrong is very good at showing weakness. Her eyelids will turn red instantly when facing Madam Fucha.

"If Concubine Tian can reach that position, my life in the palace will be easier. After all, Concubine Tian is kind and loves children, and she will definitely not let my two children get hurt."

"Yes, Concubine Tian is indeed such a reliable person." When Mrs. Fucha talked about this, there was no trace of red on her face, as if in her heart, Concubine Tian was really such a perfect person.

"We have our own considerations regarding the Third Prince's affairs, so your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much."

Madam Fucha lowered her voice and moved closer, "There have been some rumors in the previous dynasty. If we add fuel to the flames, we will definitely be able to stop some of them."

"Is this...really okay?"

"Your Highness has lived in the palace for a long time, so it is normal that you don't understand the affairs of the court. But don't worry, with the Fucha family here, it will not make it too difficult to implement your plan."

Ling Rong blinked her eyes and nodded half-thinkingly and half-hesitantly.

This made Madam Fucha unable to help but speak again and explain a little more to Lingrong, "This is also for the future of Concubine Tian, ​​so it is not empty talk, your majesty, just rest assured."

"Since this is about Concubine Tian, ​​I am naturally relieved about the actions of the Fucha family," Ling Rong also assured Madam Fucha, "I will definitely try my best to get the emperor to lift her house arrest."

"Then I would like to thank Concubine Sheng first," Madam Fucha smiled with relief. She hurriedly stood up and bowed to Ling Rong. "Then I will not bother you any more. You have stayed in the palace for a long time. If the Emperor and the Empress know about this, they will definitely use this to embarrass you."

"Then I will not stay any longer. I will look after the water and send Madam Fucha off."

Zhaoshui opened the door and came in, making a gesture of invitation to Madam Fucha. The latter stood up and followed Zhaoshui out of Chengqian Palace.

Lingrong rubbed her forehead and slowly drank the remaining tea in the cup. When the cup was empty, Zhaoshui also sent the person back.

"My lady, Madam Fucha has left."

"Now that she's gone, we should think of a way to get the Emperor to release Concubine Fucha."

Zhaoshui cleared the teacups on the table and nodded in agreement with Lingrong, "Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, the Empress should have informed the Emperor of Concubine Tian's demotion.

If the emperor has acquiesced, even if you beg him, he may not be able to release Concubine Tian."

"You are right. The first thing the emperor said is that when he wakes up, he will know everything that happened in the harem. The queen will also try her best to whitewash it and make it reasonable for Concubine Tian to be confined and demoted."

Ling Rong rubbed her brows, wondering if her consolation would have any effect, "For a concubine, being demoted and stripped of her title are both great humiliations, and being confined to her house is a minor matter.

Besides, Concubine Tian has indeed been imprisoned long enough, and I believe the Emperor also thinks that she has deeply reflected on her actions."

"That's quite possible. Your Majesty, would you like to speak well of Concubine Tian today?"

"Of course it's today. After all, Madam Fucha entered the palace today."

Ling Rong smiled and adjusted the hairpin on her head. "Bring You Ning here and ask our little princess to help. Go and tell her father that she wants to play with Princess Huai Ke."

Zhaoshui replied yes, she changed the hair accessories for Lingrong, and then went to the side hall to invite Youning over.

Youning is getting older now, but his temperament is still the same as before. When he saw Lingrong, he called her "Mother", and immediately threw himself into her arms.

"Did you go to practice horse riding just now? Why didn't you change your clothes?" Lingrong took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Youning's forehead.

You Ning nodded, holding Ling Rong's drooping hand with her warm palm and shaking it, "Mother, riding a horse is really fun, but it's so cold in winter, and Sister Wen Yi is sick and can't play with me."

"Where's Hongyu?" Lingrong held Youning's hand and asked with a smile, "Why isn't he with you?"

"My younger brother is busy studying. He hasn't finished the article that the Emperor asked him to write."

"From the looks of you, have you finished writing your article?"

"of course!"

Youning raised his head proudly, and was about to go to the side hall to bring the article over, but Lingrong held his hand and waved, telling Zhaoshui to get it.

"Mother, you called me here, is there something wrong?"

"Mother has something and wants Youning's help." Lingrong held Youning's hand and slowly told her what she wanted to do.

You Ning nodded and listened to Ling Rong's words very obediently, "So mother wants me to complain to the emperor, saying that no one has played with me these days. Please take me to find sister Huai Ke."

"Youning is really smart, can you agree to my mother's request?"

"Of course you can, but... I have another request. After this is over, mother wants to go horseback riding with me. Is that okay?"

"Of course you can. Even if you don't help me with this, I will still ride with you."
