An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Lingrong stopped crying, but she had no interest in continuing the conversation with Shen Meiyu.

She originally thought that the reason Shen Meizhuang stopped speaking for Zhen Huan in that situation was that there was a rift between the two of them, but she didn't expect that Shen Meizhuang was just smart enough to know that she would not risk her entire family's lives to help Zhen Huan.

But she still believed in Zhen Huan and would treat her as her best sister. As for causing Lingrong to have a miscarriage, she would always subconsciously ignore it, because in her heart, her Huan'er was still a good sister who was well-read, thoughtful and gentle.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't sit still anymore. She slowly stood up and looked at Ling Rong with sorrowful eyes. "I know my sister is angry and sad. She did do something wrong and should pay the price. But for the things she didn't do, she should be cleared of all charges."

Ling Rong sighed. Compared to Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang looked more like someone who had a father who was an official in the Dali Temple. She was unwilling to wrongly convict anyone, and there was a hint of fairness in her.

But if you were involved, would you still be so fair in speaking up for Zhen Huan?

"Sister Shen, if you want to investigate this matter, go ahead. I am not of high rank and I don't have many people in the palace, so I can't help you."

Ling Rong sighed. She looked at Shen Meizhuang with red eyes and said indifferently, "But I can show you a way. On that day, all the palaces were doing insect repellent irrigation. Maybe someone can do something with water or insect repellent powder."

Shen Meizhuang's eyes suddenly lit up. She had only wanted to investigate the banquet in the Queen's Palace, but had never thought of this. Now that she was assisting the six palaces and handling these matters personally, it would be easier to investigate.

"But sister, you handled this matter personally. If it is really investigated, I'm afraid it is..." You are dragging yourself into the quagmire, Sister Shen.

Although she hadn't finished her words, Shen Meizhuang obviously understood Ling Rong's deep meaning. She just thought about it for a moment and broke out in a cold sweat.

The Emperor might have thought of checking the insect repellent powder and irrigation water since Lingrong thought of it. If Huan'er hadn't spread butterfly fragrance in the palace to attract butterflies herself, then it could only have been someone else who did it through these two means.

If you think about it carefully, the person who can most easily accomplish this through this method is naturally yourself, who is in charge of the matters of the Western Six Palaces.

When Lingrong saw Shen Meizhuang's shocked expression, she knew that she had figured out the secret. But Lingrong was no longer willing to say anything more and just drank her tea.

"Ling Rong..."

"Sister, the tea is cold. It will take a while to brew it again." Ling Rong looked at Shen Meizhuang with a confused face. She pretended not to know what Shen Meizhuang was thinking. "Sister, do you want to sit down and wait?"

Shen Meizhuang shook her head. Her heart that wanted to seek justice for Zhen Huan cooled down. When she thought about how Zhen Huan had once attacked Ling Rong, she felt that her good sister seemed to have completely changed since she entered the palace.

She didn't care whether her sisters were suffering, didn't care about the health or even the lives of other concubines, and didn't even care about the rules, and casually chatted with the prince.

She seemed to care only about favor and status, and nothing else could be seen in her eyes.

Shen Meizhuang's face was heavy, and she never mentioned the matter of redressing the grievances for Zhen Huan again, but Lingrong felt that Shen Meizhuang would go back and think about it again, and then she would convince herself to join Zhen Huan's army again.

Could it be that the person Shen Meizhuang loves the most is actually Zhen Huan, and that she was with Wen Shichu in her previous life just to cut off Wen Shichu's covetousness for Zhen Huan?

Otherwise, why would she fall in love with a man whose heart and eyes were filled with sisterhood? If she wanted to repay the life-saving grace, she wouldn't have to risk begging for a whole night.

In the end, she even gambled her life and the life of Wen Shichu's entire family to give birth to a daughter for Wen Shichu.

This bloody love is quite powerful. If it is discovered accidentally, it will probably go down in history.

Lingrong was almost laughing at her own wild thoughts. When she came to her senses, she found that Shen Meizhuang had left.

Zhaoshui came in to clean up the overturned teacup and brewed a new cup of hawthorn lotus leaf tea for Lingrong.

"Lady Tian is still unconscious in the East Side Hall of Jingren Palace. I don't know when she will wake up."

"Noble Lady Tian lost her child and almost lost her life this time. I'm afraid that when she wakes up, there will be another commotion in the harem." Ling Rong took a sip of tea and recalled the look He Anming gave her at that time. "When Noble Lady Tian wakes up, someone should be here."

"My lady, are you talking about Imperial Doctor He? He looked at me several times in Jingren Palace. Could it be that he discovered something?"

"What can he find out? He is just an imperial physician. Even if he was trained by the Fucha family, he would not have such powerful connections in the harem."

Ling Rong didn't believe that He Anming could really tell at a glance that she was the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, she had no reason to harm Concubine Tian.

The imperial doctors who took care of her were all from the Fucha family. They had received so much favor from her, so how could they harm her?

Could it be that He Anming had some secret relationship with Zhen Huan? That was why he suspected himself, who had the greatest grudge against Zhen Huan.

If this is true, this person is really useless.

Shortly after noon, Concubine Tian finally woke up in Jingren Palace. She knew that her child had not been saved and she fainted several times from crying.

Fortunately, He Anming had been guarding the palace, and was able to pull Concubine Tian back from the hands of the King of Hell time and time again.

After Concubine Tian finally calmed down, the Queen revealed the culprit who harmed her and her son. It was said that Concubine Tian had gotten out of bed in a rage. If she had not been so weak, she would probably be in Yongshou Palace by now.

The emperor did comfort Concubine Tian, ​​but Concubine Tian was really sad because of her child. Knowing that the emperor had only demoted Zhen Huan's position, she started arguing with the emperor.

But the emperor is the emperor after all. He can endure the grief of the concubine for a while, but not for too long. This time he just walked away in anger. If Concubine Tian continues to do so in the future, I am afraid she will completely fall out of favor.

Not long after, the Queen could no longer bear Concubine Tian's crying and sent someone to send her back to the Yanx Palace.

Lingrong hesitated for a long time, and finally went to the Yanx Palace. After all, she came out of the Yanx Palace, so naturally she had to go back to see her "good sister".

As soon as she entered the gate of Yanx Palace, Lingrong was stopped by Rushuang and taken to Yixingxuan.

Lingrong thought Xia Dongchun wanted to ask her why she stopped her from speaking for the Queen, but Xia Dongchun just flipped through the things she brought and took out some medicinal herbs from the warehouse to replenish them.

"I knew you didn't have any good stuff." Xia Dongchun looked at the things Ling Rong brought with disdain and sighed for a long time, "You are too low-ranking to even give me a present."

"It seems that Xia Changzai's position is the same as that of a concubine."

"You're comparing yourself to me?" Xia Dongchun looked at Ling Rong as if she had seen a ghost, with a speechless expression on her face, "How dare you lower my status?" "Even your father doesn't give me as much money as I do."

Ling Rong didn't even want to count it. What Xia Dongchun gave her was really too much, much more than what her father had spent on her since she was a child.

Well, in fact, Concubine Tian gave more. She never blinked an eye when giving silver, and it was as easy as if she was just throwing a few copper coins.

"Don't worry about it, it's just that little bit of silver." Xia Dongchun waved her hand. She also asked Mingyu to prepare a gift, which she would send over together with Lingrong.

Without even entering the main hall, Ling Rong could hear Concubine Tian crying, occasionally mixed with a few curses against Zhen Huan.

One has to admit that Concubine Tian is really strong. She had an experience at the gates of hell at 9:00 p.m., and yet at 5:00 p.m. she was able to curse Zhen Huan with full strength. This shows how important it is to have a good imperial physician.

As soon as she saw the two of them coming, Concubine Tian immediately asked her about what happened after she fainted. Ling Rong told her everything. Since Xia Dongchun and He Anming were there, she didn't want to exaggerate anything.

When Concubine Tian heard Zhen Huan questioning the Emperor, her face turned as dark as charcoal.

"She has the nerve to question the emperor, but she dares not admit any of her own mistakes. Now she has only been demoted to a concubine, which is really a bargain for Zhen Huan."

Xia Dongchun also looked down on Zhen Huan. She echoed Concubine Tian and listed Zhen Huan's faults with a look of deep sorrow on her face.

"It's good for the noble lady to scold me, after all it can relieve the resentment in my heart." Ling Rong wiped her tears, "I didn't even dare to swear at Zhen Changzai at that time, for fear of displeasing her and being punished again."

"She is only a maid now, so we must suppress her arrogance. Now she dares to harm my life, so she deserves to be tortured to death." Concubine Tian pounded the bed angrily. The redness and swelling on her face had not yet subsided. If she saw the mirror, Zhen Huan would be beaten up tonight.

"My dear lady, please don't get too excited, it's not good for your recovery." He Anming stood by the door, his tone calm, as if he didn't hear a single word of the curse against Zhen Huan.

Concubine Tian probably trusted him so much that she forgot to chase him out while the three of them were chatting.

At this time Mingyu was also comforting Concubine Tian. After all, she had just lost her son and her body was already extremely weak. If it weren't for her anger, Concubine Tian would have been lying on the couch, unable to lift a finger.

But looking at He Anming's indifferent expression, it was estimated that nothing would happen to Concubine Tian again.

"My dear, please have a good rest." Ling Rong also spoke to comfort her. "Today, I came to your place, in addition to giving you some gifts, I also want to tell you one thing - don't bear grudges against the emperor."

Concubine Tian snorted indifferently, and Lingrong knew that she didn't listen at all. After all, the emperor favored her especially when she was pregnant, which made her really believe that the emperor treated her with the utmost sincerity.

But it will be fine as long as one of Mingyu and He Anming can understand. Only if Concubine Tian behaves well can she better discipline Zhen Huan. If she is disliked by the Emperor, how can she reach out to Yongshou Palace?

Now that Concubine Tian was ill, Ling Rong could not continue to disturb her. After she said what she needed to say, she took Xia Dongchun away with her.

Ling Rong looked at Xia Dongchun's fair face and remembered that the redness and swelling on her forehead had subsided. She hesitated whether to say that it seemed that Xia Changzai was well again, but was interrupted by Xia Dongchun.

"We haven't found anything yet from Prince Guo, but Wen Shichu has made some progress. He went to the Zhen residence to propose marriage before, and even pestered Zhen, Chang, and Zai before the selection."

Lingrong nodded, but there was no surprise on her face. She had known for a long time that Wen Shichu had special feelings for Zhen Huan, and now she just got some evidence.

But Xia Dongchun was unwilling to do so. It was such important news, but An Lingrong had no reaction at all.

"Xia Changzai is really amazing," Ling Rong smiled and gestured to the main hall with her eyes, "But Concubine Tian may be more interested in this matter now."

"You really know how to use people." Xia Dongchun chuckled, without any reserve of a young lady from an aristocratic family. She held Ling Rong's hand, laughed for a long time, and then said, "Let's do it."

"Will Consort Xia look into Prince Guo's matter again?"

"I will never break my promise to anyone. Please wait a little longer."

Xia Dongchun could do everything she said, so Ling Rong was not worried that she would deceive her. She greeted Xia Dongchun with peace of mind and prepared to leave, fanning herself.

When she turned around, Xia Dongchun said with a smile, "Now that the Zhen family is in trouble, you should be happy."

Ling Rong was shocked by this sentence. Xia Dongchun had countless people in the Imperial Household Department. Could it be that she discovered something?

She slowly turned her head and looked at Xia Dongchun with some doubt, "I am happy, but not happy either. Such harmful things only scare me."

"She bullied you so much, no one would dare to say anything even if you stood at the gate of Yongshou Palace and laughed." Xia Dongchun tilted his head, smiling brightly and flamboyantly, "Just laugh out loud, don't be afraid."

It would be more terrifying if you knew that I was involved in this matter. Lingrong knew that Xia Dongchun was just happy to see Zhen Huan in trouble, so she let go of her worries. She quickly left the Yanxi Palace, not wanting to hear any more terrible news from Xia Dongchun.

Ling Rong met too many people that day and her emotions fluctuated too much, so she fell asleep not long after returning home.

It was not until the next day that Lingrong heard that Imperial Doctor He had come to Chengqian Palace the day before, but was driven away by Zhaoshui on the grounds that the young lady had already gone to bed.

"Did Doctor He leave any message?"

"No, young lady." Zhaoshui shook her head. She didn't even know why the imperial physician came to Chengqian Palace. Shouldn't he be waiting in Yanxi Palace? "Should we send a message to Imperial Physician He to ask him to come to the palace?"

"No need. I'll come back if there's something urgent." Ling Rong couldn't figure out what He Anming wanted to do. Even if he really discovered what she was doing behind her, it didn't matter.

After all, I didn't put the musk and pollen there myself. I just threw some butterfly scent powder into Yongshou Palace. That thing is very good and will not harm your body.

Lingrong didn't have to wait long. After lunch, He Anming came to Chengqian Palace. He took Lingrong's pulse as usual and prescribed a new prescription based on her current condition.

"My lady was quite perceptive yesterday. She discovered that Concubine Tian and Concubine Zhen might have something that attracted butterflies."

Ling Rong straightened her sleeves and glanced at He Anming nonchalantly, "Why, Imperial Doctor He doesn't allow there to be a smart person in the palace?"
