An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 48 Wen Shichu
On the second day, the emperor really released Concubine Wan and Concubine Hua for the same reason, although no one would believe it.
I thought the visit would be followed by another verbal battle, but unexpectedly I heard that the Queen had a severe headache and was exempted from the visit for a month.
In the past, when the empress had a severe headache, she would only summon the concubines to take care of her, but after just three to five days, she would be impatient to resume the service, for fear that her power would be completely taken away.
What's the difference between the head wind of this month and the house arrest of Zhen Huan and Hua Fei.
Could it be that the emperor really found out that the musk under the tree in Suiyuxuan was the work of the queen?
At this moment, Ling Rong only regretted that she was not Xia Kai and had no way of fully understanding the ins and outs of the matter.
"My lady, Du Juan has been beaten to death. She was unable to speak before she died, and all her secrets were rotten in her stomach."
"It's a good deal for the Queen." Ling Rong blew the words she had just written and frowned in dissatisfaction, "She bribed Bao Juan to put musk in Le Dao Hall, and then framed Shen Guiren, going through a lot of trouble.
Now that another witness has died, she has escaped unscathed."
"My lady, but the Queen seems to be...under house arrest?" Zhaoshui spoke cautiously. After all, she was the mistress of the harem, so he was a little scared.
"You are quite perceptive. Guess why the queen had a headache?"
"Hmm..." Zhaoshui pondered for a long time before speaking hesitantly, "I think it might be related to the incident of Concubine Wan losing her child. This is the issue that has been causing a lot of commotion in the palace recently."
"It is indeed related to this matter." Ling Rong did not beat around the bush with Zhao Shui. She took a pen and wrote down the names of the Queen, Concubine Hua and Concubine Wan on the paper. "The Queen has Concubine Fucha and Concubine Xia, and Concubine Hua has Concubine Li and Concubine Cao.
This Lady Wanpin once had Lady Shen and Lady Chun with her, and a few days ago, it seemed that Lady Duanfei was also helping her. "
Zhaoshui walked closer and looked at the words on the paper, pointing at the Queen's name, "Baojuan is the Queen's person, then what about Xiangye in Concubine Shen's palace?"
Lingrong picked up the pen and filled in Xiangye's name on Hua Fei's side, and also put Huang Guiquan in.
"My lady, Xiangye's family members have also testified against Concubine Hua. How could they be Concubine Hua's people?"
"This is a long story, but it's just some groundless guesses." Ling Rong put down her brush. She didn't actually know what the emperor had found out, she just made a rough guess based on clues.
"My lady, please tell me about it." Zhaoshui was curious at the moment. Seeing that Lingrong didn't want to talk more, she immediately pulled Lingrong's arm to ask for an explanation. "I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out who caused Wanpin to lose her child."
"In the beginning, it was Noble Lady Fucha who wanted to use something that would harm the fetus, so she called in Imperial Physician He. The musk deer was also introduced into the palace through the Imperial Physician.
Noble Lady Fucha is the Queen’s person, so the musk deer naturally fell into the Queen’s hands.”
"That's not right, young lady." Zhaoshui looked at the paper full of names in confusion, "But Xiangye belongs to Concubine Hua, but Musk is in the hands of the Queen."
“In the beginning, musk was buried under the tree in Suiyuxuan, and the musk was buried when the empress ordered the transplanting of the osmanthus tree.
The musk that Noble Lady Fucha gave to the Queen was placed in Ledao Hall by Baojuan.
Zhaoshui was confused again. She looked at the paper and then at Lingrong. "So the Queen wants to muddy the waters?"
"I guess so. Xiangye is indeed Concubine Hua's person, and Wang was bribed by Concubine Hua a long time ago. The content of the letter is also true."
Ling Rong raised her hand, brought the paper close to the candle flame and lit it, and she didn't feel relieved until the whole paper turned to ashes.
"So it was the Empress who used the musk under the osmanthus tree to weaken Concubine Wan's dragon fetus, and Concubine Hua used the musk to harm Concubine Shen, but ended up harming Concubine Wan?"
Ling Rong did not comment, but at the moment, this should be the guess that is closest to the truth of the matter.
When Zhen Huan lost her child, the people who diagnosed her pulse were Zhang Mi and Jiang Cheng, one of whom was the Queen's man, and the other was Concubine Hua's man.
Even if Zhen Huan's miscarriage was not caused by Shen Meizhuang, they were able to twist the truth into pieces and pin the blame of Zhen Huan's miscarriage on Shen Meizhuang.
Even if Zhen Huan lost her child because of musk, if Shen Meizhuang hadn't been wearing the sachet, there might have been a chance to save the child.
Perhaps even the Queen and Concubine Hua did not expect that God was helping them.
"So Concubine Cao only said a few words to Wang and was able to incite her to bite Wanpin back," Zhaoshui neatly cleaned up the burnt dust on the table, while still curious, "What about Xiao Yunzi? That night he went to Xianfu Palace and then returned to Suiyuxuan."
The two looked at each other. Lingrong thought about it for a while and still felt that Xiao Yunzi might be Concubine Hua's man.
It is a foregone conclusion that Huang Guiquan is Concubine Hua's man. As the general manager of the Imperial Household Department, Huang Guiquan may have known about the Queen's request for the Imperial Household Department to reinstall the Sui Yuxuan and put musk in it.
It is not impossible that after learning the truth, he would run to tell his real master, Concubine Hua.
With Concubine Cao plotting behind Concubine Hua's back and using the Queen's tactics to harm Shen Meiyu, she could definitely get out of this situation more easily.
Now that Concubine Hua has been released, the Queen is under "house arrest", which is probably the best proof.
"I don't know about that, but... you can ask Xiaochizi."
"Xiao Chizi?" Zhaoshui couldn't remember what the relationship between Xiao Chizi and Xiao Yunzi was for a moment. She tried hard to recall for a long time before finally remembering that Xiao Yunzi's brother was sick.
"I now remember that when Xiao Chengzi was sick, it was the young master who gave him enough money and asked Xiao Chizi to go and help him." Zhao Shui got a new direction and immediately went out to find Xiao Chizi.
Lingrong admired the girl for her energy, but did not force her to ask. After all, she was also curious about who this little Yunzi belonged to now.
After all, in this life, Kang Luhai and Xiao Yinzi are still under Zhen Huan's command. These two eunuchs are best at flattery, and Xiao Yinzi really has no chance to show his loyalty to Zhen Huan.
It would be even better if he could use the reason that he had helped his brother to make Xiao Yunzi his own, then he wouldn't have to find ways to bribe the palace maids in Yongshou Palace.
It seems that I really need to let Xiao Chizi have a few good contacts.
However, the queen has been under house arrest now, and the biggest beneficiary at present is Noble Lady Fucha. After all, the queen who loves abortion the most is not here, so it is too easy for her to keep the dragon fetus.
On the same day that Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua were under house arrest, although the Emperor did not promote Noble Lady Fucha, he still bestowed her with a title, and now she is Noble Lady Tian.
When Noble Lady Fucha gives birth to the dragon baby, the Emperor will definitely promote her. Fortunately, she already has a title now, otherwise I really don’t know what to call her when she is promoted to concubine.
Fuchapin? That's really weird.
Here, Ling Rong was daydreaming aimlessly, trying to kill some boring time.
Over there, He Anming was already busy. Ever since he learned that musk had appeared in Chengqian Palace, he had checked the palace for Concubine Tian several times, and even checked the living quarters of the palace maids and eunuchs who served Concubine Tian many times.
Fortunately, there was nothing harmful around Noble Lady Fucha, her pulse was strong, and both mother and child were healthy.
But perhaps because of the previous experience of Concubine Wan losing her child, Concubine Tian ordered that all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were not allowed to wear sachets or other accessories. Even the tree roots in the courtyard were dug up and checked, for fear that musk might have been hidden inside at some point.
Now the Queen suffered from a headache again. As Concubine Tian did not have to pay respects to the Queen, she stayed in her room all day to take care of her pregnancy. For a while, no one could harm her.
With He Anming's regular pulse diagnosis, Concubine Tian is indeed taking good care of her baby.
Because the fetus was well taken care of, it might be a boy. Even the emperor could tolerate the temper of Noble Lady Fucha, even though she repeatedly asked the emperor to leave the land of tenderness on the pretext of being unwell, he never said harsh words to her.
Perhaps because he was worried that Du Juan would poison Lingrong again, He Anming would come to Chengqian Palace after taking Fucha Guiren's pulse to take care of Lingrong's health.
Now, after several months of taking medicine and recuperating, Lingrong's body has almost recovered. With the addition of hot springs and medicinal baths, there is some possibility that she will have children.
"There is something that happened recently that I think Miss An will be very interested in."
Ling Rong rolled up her sleeves and became somewhat interested when she heard He Anming keeping the secret.
"What Imperial Doctor He said is related to Lady Tian?"
"No." He Anming did not let Ling Rong continue to guess. He lowered his voice and moved closer, "It is Doctor Wen who has returned to the Imperial Hospital, but he started as a medical assistant."
Wen Shichu could actually return to the Imperial Hospital?! Lingrong's eyes widened in shock when she heard the news. If she remembered correctly, Wen Shichu was expelled from the Imperial Hospital by the Emperor himself.
In such a situation, he was able to turn things around. For a moment, Ling Rong even suspected that Wen Shichu had some kind of affair with the emperor, and that he could make the emperor change his mind.
"Didn't the Emperor order Doctor Wen to be expelled from the Imperial Hospital? How on earth did he do that?"
He Anming shook his head. He had asked Wen Shichu openly and secretly, but the man was too tight-lipped and he couldn't get any useful information out of him.
"Then...are there any concubines who would like to ask Doctor Wen to come over and check her pulse?"
"In the past few days...it seems not." He Anming recalled for a long time before he reluctantly came to this conclusion. Because he had other matters to deal with on weekdays, he really didn't pay too much attention to Wen Shichu.
"Apart from Concubine Wan, there must be no one else who can make the emperor agree to recall Doctor Wen to the Imperial Medical Bureau." Lingrong didn't even need to guess, she knew that it must be Zhen Huan who did it.
Zhen Huan is really capable, as she can make the emperor make such a big concession for her.
"Doctor Wen's medical skills are indeed extraordinary," He Anming praised sincerely, "I am not as good as him."
"Doctor He's medical skills are superb, and are no worse than Doctor Wen's." Ling Rong did not know much about medicine, nor did she know who was better between Wen Shichu and He Anming, but everyone liked to hear compliments, and He Anming was probably the same.
He Anming was choked by Ling Rong's insincere praise, but he couldn't argue with the emperor's concubines, so he had to accept this insincere praise silently.
Wen Shichu has returned to the Imperial Hospital. Does this prove that Shen Meizhuang will be with him in the future, just like Zhen Huan and Prince Guo?
A lot has changed since his rebirth, but the two men who had committed adultery with concubines have not changed much.
Anyway, the four of them were very brave and were not afraid that their relatives would be implicated and their entire clan would be exterminated, so what did she, an outsider, have to worry about?
If I seize the opportunity, I will definitely make good things happen.
"Doctor He, you should pay attention to Doctor Wen on weekdays. He is definitely not a simple person to return to the Imperial Hospital." Ling Rong was afraid that He Anming would not take it seriously, so she even brought up Du Juan, "Just like my maid named Bao Juan, who returned to my side under the alias Du Juan, and her purpose was to drug and poison her master to death."
He Anming did not refuse. Since Wanpin was in the limelight now, he did not mind doing Wanpin a favor through Wen Shichu. If he wanted to become a court judge in the future, he would need the support of these concubines in the palace.
Ling Rong naturally had no idea what He Anming was thinking. After all, she had never seen someone who didn't put all his eggs in one basket.
After He Anming left, Ling Rong could no longer sit still. She packed up a little and went to Jingpin's Xianfu Palace.
Concubine Jing now has some power in managing the six palaces and is often busy dealing with affairs.
Today is even busier. Piles of account books are piled on the table. Jingpin is busy using an abacus. Lingrong has been in for quite a while but has not even received a glance from Jingpin.
"Sister, why are there so many account books?" Ling Rong picked up one from the ground. The dust on it made her cough continuously.
Jingpin hurriedly asked Hanzhu to pour a cup of tea for Lingrong, and she personally took Lingrong to the outer room to chat.
"The Empress has had a headache these days, and Concubine Hua has taken over the affairs of the six palaces again," Jingpin sighed helplessly, obviously being repeatedly harassed by Concubine Hua over this trivial matter. "She asked me to recheck these account books, under the pretext of teaching me."
Ling Rong thought of the account books on the table and felt a headache. "Sister, have you told the emperor?"
"Not really." Jingpin shook her head and sighed heavily. "The emperor does come to Xianfu Palace occasionally these days, but it's rare to see him, and I don't want to cause him trouble with these little things."
"Then you will have to swallow this grievance yourself."
"I have learned a lot during the days when Concubine Hua was away." Jingpin took a sip of tea and her face had a different look when she mentioned the housekeeper. "The nights in Xianfu Palace used to be cold and long. Although I am bothered by some trivial matters now, I feel like I am alive again."
"I guess it's because the Emperor visits me so often that it warms this palace and my heart." Lingrong laughed heartily, but Jingpin showed some shyness, which was rare for her.
"Sister, you are a talkative person. How could I not have noticed it before?" Jingpin was not annoyed. She openly admitted what Lingrong said, "It is much better than being alone and stroking bricks and stones."
"Okay, I know you're enjoying it." Ling Rong knew that Jingpin was busy now, so she didn't intend to bother her any more and told her the purpose of her visit. "Sister, I heard that Doctor Wen has returned to the Imperial Hospital. He was once expelled by the Emperor himself. What kind of opportunity did he have to come back?"
Jingpin didn't seem to have expected that the emperor would go back on his word.
"Doctor Wen...he used to check Wanpin's pulse frequently. I think Wanpin asked the emperor for help."
Ling Rong nodded, "My sister thinks so too. After all, Wanpin is favored. I just don't know what kind of trouble she wants to stir up by recalling Doctor Wen."
