An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Sister finally got it."

When Lingrong heard that Shen Meizhuang was finally willing to consider her, she felt relieved like an old mother for a moment. It seemed that her words were not in vain.

In fact, Shen Meizhuang already knew how important it was to have a child. In her previous life, she was framed for a fake pregnancy to win favor because she was eager to have a child.

In this life, she did not show it too obviously, and she did not even hold the power to assist in managing the six palaces like in her previous life. It is likely that she would not fall into the trap of false pregnancy so easily.

However, Lingrong still hopes that Shen Meizhuang can take the power to assist in managing the six palaces, so as to attract the attention of the concubines in the harem to her.

She would have a better chance to take advantage of the situation and give birth to a child in the hope of obtaining the position of concubine.

“It’s not that I’ve really come to my senses, I just feel that grace alone is not enough in this deep palace.

Look at Concubine Cao and Concubine Xin. They were not favored by the emperor at first, but he was willing to go to their rooms just because they had children.

And Concubine Tian, ​​you see, she is so spoiled, often taking advantage of her pregnancy to mess up the harem, and the emperor has not punished her."

Shen Meizhuang was really envious. Having a child in the harem would make her status and identity completely different.

But now, I am really estranged from the emperor. The emperor is unwilling to come to Bitong Academy, and I can't save my face and go to Wanfang Anhe.

"Sister, are you unable to let go of your own face, or are you worried that the emperor won't give you this face?" Ling Rong could see Shen Meizhuang's hesitation, but in fact, Shen Meizhuang's worry was completely unnecessary. With her family background and appearance, she could just run into the emperor by chance and lie that her bracelet was lost, and she could lead the emperor back to the palace.

"I am worried that the Emperor doesn't care about me as much as my sister said."

Ling Rong had just given a long speech of consolation. Now Shen Meizhuang was still struggling and hesitant, but she was too lazy to repeat those words again.

After a brief hesitation, Ling Rong told the method used by Shen Meizhuang in her previous life.

"The bracelet is on my sister's wrist anyway, so why not give it a try?"

Shen Meizhuang touched the jade bracelet and nodded hesitantly after a while and said "OK".

Whether to do it or not is entirely up to Shen Meizhuang herself. But Lingrong knows very well that Shen Meizhuang will do it sooner or later.

However, in addition to regaining Shen Meizhuang's favor, finding a way to release Zhen Huan from Yongshou Palace is also the most important thing at the moment.

As long as Shen Meizhuang is pregnant, it won't be difficult to ask the emperor to release Zhen Huan.

"Sister, although I have an average relationship with Zhen Changzai, if you really want to rescue her, I will not hinder you." Ling Rong knows Shen Meizhuang best. It is easiest to gain her trust by saying everything on the surface. "If you are pregnant, all this will not be difficult."

Shen Meizhuang suddenly smiled, and that smile of joy was much more genuine than when she saw Ling Rong.

"This is not a bad idea, but when it comes to pregnancy, there's no need to rush."

Lingrong thought of the prescription that Fu Changzai had sent her not long ago. If she took that prescription, she would be able to get pregnant quickly.

But after all, it is the power of medicine. Not only is pregnancy painful, but there are also extremely strong side effects. Even if the baby is born successfully, it will be difficult to raise him.

If I give this recipe to Shen Meizhuang, it will become a sharp blade to stab me in the future. When Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan join forces to deal with me, it will be very difficult.

Even if you want to use it, you must never tell her directly.

"Find an imperial physician and take good care of your body. My sister's family is quite powerful, so why not find a trustworthy one in the Imperial Hospital?"

"I used to use Doctor Wen a lot. He is very capable and trustworthy."

"This Imperial Doctor Wen is only a medical assistant now, and he is far away in the palace. I am afraid he cannot reach you, sister." Ling Rong pretended to be worried, "He was once demoted by the emperor, and his medical skills... I am afraid they are not good enough."

"No, Doctor Wen is an excellent doctor." Shen Meizhuang trusted Wen Shichu very much. She grabbed Lingrong's hand and said, "He and Huan'er have known each other for a long time. There is absolutely no problem with his medical skills."

"That's good." Ling Rong pulled her hand back calmly, "But Doctor Wen is far away in the Forbidden City. I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of us for a while."

Shen Meizhuang just nodded, she didn't elaborate on how she was going to do it. Anyway, after a few days, Shen Meizhuang drank the fertility medicine.

However, Ling Rong hesitated whether to give Fu Chang's prescription to Shen Mei Zhuang. But she thought that Wen Shi Chu was indeed a great doctor, and he was not like Liu Bin in his previous life who could be bribed by Concubine Hua. Shen Mei Zhuang's pregnancy would not be a mistake.

Two days later, Shen Meizhuang really pretended to "encounter" the emperor by chance, and as usual, she won the emperor's attention and walked around the garden hand in hand.

The emperor stayed at Shen Meizhuang's Bitong Academy that night and even stayed there for three consecutive days, which suddenly changed the tone of the harem.

A few days ago, the Queen was still thinking of attracting everyone's attention to Ling Rong, but she didn't expect that Shen Meizhuang would emerge as a dark horse and easily get the Emperor's permission to divide part of the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

Originally, the sharing of power between Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing was enough to make the Queen, who attached great importance to power, sleepless day and night. Then, Shen Meizhuang, who came from a prominent family, came, so that the Queen could only use a headache to hide her anger when paying her respects.

"I was originally worried that the Queen had set her sights on the young lady, but I didn't expect things to be different in the past two days."

"In the eyes of the Queen, I am nothing more than a disobedient ant who can be crushed to death at any time and anywhere." Ling Rong opened her mouth and bit the grapes fed to her by the water, squinting her eyes comfortably.

"But Concubine Shen is different. She has a good family background, is smart, and is favored by the Emperor. The Empress and Concubine Hua don't have time to stare at me."

"But young lady... the Queen has set her sights on us after all." Zhaoshui was still a little worried. She picked a grape and fed it to him, "What if the Queen gets rid of us first?"

Ling Rong pondered for a while. She knew the Queen quite well. She seemed to value power the most, but in fact she had a perverted desire for possessiveness and revenge on the Emperor.

Whoever the emperor favors, the queen will find ways to suppress him. As for people like me, the queen just wants to hold them in her hands and use them as pawns.

"Now that Concubine Shen is at the forefront, there is no need to worry too much." Ling Rong wiped the sweat from her forehead. The imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital did have some tricks. Sunbathing one's back in the sun really made the whole body feel comfortable.

"However, I will try to contact Bai Jin in the next two days and find out about the situation on my mother's side."

"But Bai Jin is not our person after all. Young lady... why don't you contact Tinghe?" Zhaoshui didn't understand. She and Tinghe were bought by the young lady together, so naturally she was more trustworthy than outsiders.

"Bai Jin is the emperor's person. Some things are better told to the emperor through her." Ling Rong patiently analyzed with Zhao Shui, "She is the emperor's spy. Trusting her is trusting the emperor. But remember, only tell the good things.

For example, the Queen deliberately mentioned the Queen Mother in order to hint to everyone that my favor made the Queen Mother unhappy.

But when you pass the message back, just mention that the Queen Mother said that I was liked by the Queen Mother and I was very happy. That would be enough."

Zhaoshui nodded thoughtfully. She seemed to have figured out something, but she was still not sure. "In other words, what the Queen said is not important. What's important is to let the Emperor know that the Queen Mother knows about and even controls the harem through the Queen?"

"You are getting smarter and smarter, Zhaoshui." Lingrong sighed comfortably. She had been sunbathing her back for the past few days and felt that her body had become much lighter. "You lie down too, and sunbathe together. It's so comfortable."

Zhao Shui responded, but did not lie down with Ling Rong immediately. She brought Ling Rong a glass of water, helped her drink it, and then hesitated to bask in the sun together.

"My lady, Imperial Physician He is in the palace taking care of Concubine Tian, ​​and Imperial Physician Wei is only a medical assistant now, so he is not qualified to accompany her. Isn't it too dangerous?"

"There are too many places to take action in the harem, but as long as she is not pregnant, there is no need to worry too much." Ling Rong's voice became softer and softer, and she almost fell asleep in the sunshine, "And Aunt Fang Jing is not an ordinary person."

"I have also discovered that the drug that Du Juan used to poison the young lady was the one that Aunt Fang Jing found on her body. Maybe Aunt Fang Jing knows some medical skills."

"If you like, you can learn some." It is not a bad thing to have people around you who know some medical skills. Even Ling Rong herself is eager to learn some.

Zhaoshui seemed to be very happy. When she heard Lingrong allowed her to study medicine, she happily agreed. She stood up and asked Baoque to come and serve her, and then went to find Aunt Fangjing happily.

Soon, Zhaoshui came back somewhat disappointed. She found out that Aunt Fangjing didn't actually know any medical skills, but was quite experienced in delivering babies.

"You look so aggrieved. When you return to the palace, ask Imperial Doctor He or Imperial Doctor Wei and ask them to find some basic books for you so that you can learn slowly."

Ling Rong sat up and stretched. She patted Shui's shoulder and smiled brightly, "When you leave the palace at the age of 25, I will open a clinic for female doctors. In the future, you will be my mistress, and I may need you to support me."

"There will be a young master in the future. Even if this servant wants to support the young master, I'm afraid she won't have the chance."

Zhaoshui also smiled with her eyes curved. She wrung out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Lingrong's forehead.

Ling Rong sighed, wondering how difficult it would be to give birth to a prince in this palace who could set up his own family.

In the final analysis, all of this is to blame on the emperor. If he hadn't only known propriety and righteousness, and had no sense of shame, how could the queen have been forced into her current state?

Compared to the previous emperor, the emperor has very few descendants. I am afraid it will be the same in this life as well. He cannot pick out anyone who can inherit the throne.

But there is a Fifth Prince outside the palace. Ling Rong secretly thought that perhaps this Fifth Prince would become a variable in seizing the throne.

I don't know why, but I never heard any news about the Fifth Prince in my previous life. I only heard that he was in poor health and his frail appearance made the emperor worried.

In order to take care of the Fifth Prince, Concubine Yu Geng also lived outside the palace and had not returned to the Forbidden City for a long time.

"My lady, my lady," Baoque suddenly ran in from outside, holding her knees and panting, "I heard that Prince Guo was reprimanded by the emperor!"

This Prince Guo is really active. Lingrong couldn't help but frown. She felt a headache when she heard this name. She always felt that he was just like Zhen Huan, born to be the focus of the crowd.

Whenever everyone forgets about them, they have to jump out and find a sense of existence.

"What's the reason this time?"

"This time it's because of Concubine Zhen again. It's strange," Bao Que gulped down a large glass of water, "Why does Prince Guo care so much about Concubine Zhen? Could it be that something really happened between them?"

Bao Que couldn't help but talk about these rumors, but today he started to keep it a secret. Ling Rong finally became interested, "What shocking rumors have you heard that you don't dare to say out loud?"

Although he was in his own territory, Bao Que still looked around cautiously, "This matter has spread everywhere, but the emperor has issued a death order, not allowing any private discussion.

I heard that Zhen Chang was playing in the water, and Prince Guo saw her barefoot, and Prince Guo even flirted with her. "

Ling Rong nodded, thinking that what Xia Dongchun said was much more outrageous than what is currently circulating.

"But I heard that it was actually Concubine Zhen who deliberately seduced Prince Guo, but Prince Guo said that to protect Concubine Zhen's face."

Bao Que looked at the door again like a thief. She stroked her chest, half worried and half scared, "My lady, which of your statements is true?"

"It doesn't matter which statement it is. What matters is that it can cut another wound in the emperor's heart." Ling Rong was thinking about who leaked the news.

Could it be Xia Dongchun? After all, she was the only one who responded to her request and investigated the relationship between Prince Guo and Zhen Huan. Others would not focus on a concubine who had already lost her power.

But why did Xia Dongchun do this? This matter would not benefit her at all, and if it was discovered, it would even bring trouble to herself and anger the emperor.

Xia Dongchun is not so stupid. If she really did this, it would only be under the instructions of the Queen.

But why did the queen do this?

"Baoque, just say this in the palace. Don't spread the rumors you know to others, okay?" Lingrong shook her fan. She was really worried that Baoque would talk nonsense. This girl was good at finding out information, but she couldn't control her mouth.

Bao Que nodded very firmly. She covered her mouth and responded in a muffled voice, "I know this is a capital crime punishable by beheading. I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Using the fan to block the way, Lingrong signaled Zhaoshui to keep an eye on Baoque and told her not to run around the palace in the next few days.

Zhaoshui nodded in understanding. She held Baoque's hand and said, "Okay, in order to save our Baoque's life, follow me these few days to dry lotus leaves and make tea for the young master."

Baoque happily agreed. She put the rumors behind her and followed Zhaoshui to Jianbi Pavilion to pick more lotus leaves for Lingrong.

Ling Rong did not stay in the palace for too long. She changed her clothes, called Xiao Chizi to follow her, and went to Shen Meizhuang's Bitong Academy.

She really wanted to see what expression Shen Meizhuang had when she heard about the affair between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo.
