An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Not long after Jingpin sent Danfeng to Su Peisheng, the emperor's decree came down, saying that Huafei deliberately asked palace people to spread rumors to damage the reputation of the royal family, and she was stripped of her title and demoted to a concubine.

He also ordered the release of Zhen Huan from her house arrest and had her brought from Yongshou Palace to live in Yuanmingyuan.

When Concubine Hua heard the imperial edict, she burst into tears and took Songzhi to Wanfang Anhe to appeal for justice.

But the emperor had already made up his mind and showed no mercy to Hua Fei, his former favorite concubine. He even deliberately asked Shen Meizhuang to play the piano in the palace and ignored Hua Fei's repeated requests for an audience.

There was constant music and singing in the palace, and Concubine Hua was begging outside. Even Su Peisheng couldn't bear it anymore and advised her to go back to Xinghuachun Pavilion first.

"The Emperor has never been so heartless to me. Eunuch Su, but what did someone do?" Concubine Hua wiped away her tears, appearing stubborn and fragile in the eyes of others.

Su Peisheng naturally would not tell the truth behind this. He just looked around the palace carefully and shook his head at Concubine Hua.

"Empress Hua," Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment, but still called her Empress Hua, "The sun is too hot. It would be bad if you get sunburned."

Hua Fei wanted to go back to the palace, but Su Peisheng reluctantly stopped her with his hand, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is busy with government affairs right now, so it's better for you not to disturb him."

The sound of the piano in the palace was melodious. How could Concubine Hua not know that the emperor had no government affairs to attend to? But Su Peisheng had already said this, so she could only leave in disappointment.

However, Concubine Hua was also cautious and asked Lingzhi to watch outside Wan Fang'an and see who was playing the piano in the palace.

When she learned that it was Shen Meizhuang, Concubine Hua could no longer hide her anger. It turned out that she was stripped of her title by the Emperor because of these two bitches.

Of course, Jingpin, who captured Danfeng and handed him over to the emperor, cannot be let off. If she hadn't been meddling in other people's business, how could the emperor have known these things?

I just wanted Dan Feng to tell the truth, but so many people tried to stop me. When Zhen Huan is reinstated, I wonder how many people won't be able to see her for a month.

Concubine Hua was very angry here, but the people in Yongshou Palace were extremely happy over there. After suffering for a long time, the gate of Yongshou Palace where Zhen Huan was was finally opened.

Although she had a good foundation, Zhen Huan had been tortured to a point where she was in a horrible state. Her face was gray and yellow, and she was extremely skinny.

Huanbi was even more miserable. She was severely beaten with twenty boards. It was a miracle that she survived, but she still suffered from problems with her waist. Not only could she not bend down when greeting, she couldn't even stand for too long.

Now she can only take good care of herself and can't do any work. In a sense, she is almost the same as Lady Zhen Huan.

The Emperor was in a hurry to send someone to pick her up, so Zhen Huan could only ask the Emperor to let her bring an imperial physician with her so that she could recuperate.

Although the emperor was unhappy, he still agreed. So Doctor Wen was also included in the list of accompanying people, and he specially prepared the Fairy Jade Girl Powder for Zhen Huan in the hope that she would quickly restore her appearance.

After Zhen Huan arrived at the Old Summer Palace, the emperor wanted to see her immediately, but she used the excuse that she was exhausted and it was not easy for her to see the emperor, and thus she avoided the question.

But how could her appearance be restored in a short period of time? Not only did she need the Fairy Jade Girl Powder, but she also needed a lot of medicinal herbs that could replenish qi and blood. However, with Zhen Huan's current status, she simply could not get those rare medicinal herbs.

Even Wen Shichu, who is now only a medical practitioner, has no way of getting those medicinal herbs.

Therefore, Zhen Huan's appearance did not recover. She could only find ways to delay time so as not to let the emperor see her now haggard face.

On the day Zhen Huan arrived at the Old Summer Palace, Shen Meiyu went to Yuedi Yunju to visit her. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say to each other.

Unfortunately, Zhen Huan was only concerned with restoring her appearance, and her expression was indifferent when she talked to Shen Meiyu. In addition, Wen Shichu was always looking after the medicinal materials, so they could only exchange polite words.

Now it seems that Zhen Huan is not as disappointed with the emperor as she was in her previous life, but the words she said when she was under house arrest did show that she was truly sad.

Given Zhen Huan's previous temperament and character, she would have been completely disappointed with the emperor based on the suspicious words he said. Why would she be so eager to restore her appearance to curry favor with him?

However, in her previous life, Zhen Huan did not seem to fall to the position of a concubine. Perhaps she was unwilling to be content with her current situation.

After all, she was scared by ghosts, chased by cats, stung by bees, and even had no food to eat. There was no one more miserable than her in the palace.

Moreover, this greatest suffering was actually caused by her best sister Shen Meizhuang. No wonder she was so anxious to regain favor.

The relationship between Lingrong and Zhen Huan had become extremely bad, so she did not go to Yuedi Yunju to visit Zhen Huan, and did not even send a gift.

Now that Zhen Huan has arrived and Concubine Hua has been demoted to Nianpin, Lingrong actually no longer needs to copy the palace rules.

But she still copied obediently in the palace. After all, the emperor had just said what he wanted to restore Hua Fei to the throne, and relying on the power of the Nian family, it was impossible for Hua Fei to stay in the position of concubine for too long.

Doctor Wen's medical skills were indeed good. After a few days, Zhen Huan's face had recovered. The emperor immediately summoned Zhen Huan, and the two talked about poetry and books for several hours. After a while, Zhen Huan was promoted to a concubine.

However, her previous title has not been restored, and it is unknown what the emperor's plan is.

When Zhen Huan came back and paid her respects to the Queen, there was bound to be verbal sparring. An Lingrong always felt a headache, but she had to sit there with her.

"Sister Zhen, I haven't seen you for many months, but you are still as beautiful as before." The Queen smiled gently, and she didn't seem to be worried about Zhen Huan's reinstatement.

"The Old Summer Palace is blessed by the Majesty, so I will naturally get better soon."

Zhen Huan said this beautifully, flattering the Queen while also subtly satirizing those who took advantage of her fall from favor to add insult to injury.

Lingrong was the one who took advantage of the situation. She didn't blush or feel nervous. She held the cold fruit drink and drank it slowly. Even when Zhen Huan's eyes swept over her, her emotions didn't fluctuate at all.

"Huan'er was weak to begin with, but fortunately, Doctor Wen is an excellent doctor, and she has almost recovered now." Seeing that no one spoke to her, Shen Meizhuang took the initiative to speak. She and Zhen Huan slowly looked at each other and smiled gently.

Lingrong watched the interaction between the two of them and found it only interesting. Now she no longer felt that there was no grudge between the two of them and that they could be as close as before.

It used to be Concubine Wan and Noble Lady Shen, and now it is Noble Lady Shen and Concubine Zhen. The positions have been swapped. I wonder if Zhen Huan can still remain without a trace of jealousy.

"Some people do so many bad things that it is possible that they will be punished by God." As Hua Fei's minion, Lipin has always been at odds with Zhen Huan. Especially now that Hua Fei has been "framed", she naturally has to jump out and show her loyalty.

"Otherwise, why would those gods and ghosts go to find Zhen Changzai?"

"If gods and ghosts really exist, we should find those who use the names of gods and ghosts to secretly attack. They are disrespectful to gods and ghosts, so they should suffer retribution."

"It seems that Concubine Zhen has suffered a lot in Yongshou Palace. Since she was able to write a letter to warn Concubine Tian, ​​why didn't she write a letter to Concubine Shen and ask her for help?" Seeing that Concubine Li was at a disadvantage, Cao Qinmo immediately spoke up, "Concubine Shen will definitely find a way, right?"

Shen Meizhuang looked very unnatural. She hesitated for a while before saying "yes" in a low voice.

Ling Rong knew very well that Shen Meizhuang had thought of her idea of ​​cutting down the regular dishes. Even the dishes for the favored concubines had been reduced a lot. What could Zhen Huan, who was confined in Yongshou Palace, eat?

She subconsciously ignored the fact that Zhen Huan was confined to Yongshou Palace, just as Zhen Huan had forgotten about her at that time.

But she was willing to take the initiative to plead with the emperor for Zhen Huan, and even gave up the favor she had obtained. It is unknown what kind of contradictory mentality she held.

"Sister Shen has helped me a lot, of course. But after all, I'm under house arrest, and it's not easy for me to keep an eye on me every day." Zhen Huan still had a smile on her face. She was no longer as blunt and sarcastic as before, and every time she spoke, she just stuck to the facts.

But Shen Meizhuang didn't like these words very much. A trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Cao Qinmo caught the expression on Shen Meizhuang's face and naturally realized that the two sisters were not on the same page. "Sister Shen has been very favored these days. I'm afraid she is no less favored than Concubine Zhen when she first entered the palace."

"Noble Lady Shen is also very proficient in poetry and literature, and the Emperor also said that he can chat with her." The Queen affirmed Noble Lady Cao and deliberately mentioned that the Emperor liked to discuss poetry and literature with Shen Meiyu.

After all, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor himself had praised Zhen Huan for her knowledge of poetry and literature, and the only person with whom he could have a pleasant chat was Zhen Huan.

Now there is Shen Meizhuang. I really hope that the two of them will not quarrel over this matter.

The Queen secretly laughed in her heart. Her own elder sister was frivolous and seduced her younger sister's husband. Now Zhen Huan's elder sister is also like this. How can she not be happy to see this?

"Yes, sister always has unique understandings on poetry and calligraphy, and I often ask her for advice."

It's a pity that Zhen Huan didn't do as the Queen wished. No matter how others ridiculed her, she remained unmoved and would never say a bad word about Shen Meizhuang.

But the more she did this, the more forced Shen Meizhuang's smile became. After all, when it came to poetry and literature, Shen Meizhuang was indeed no match for Zhen Huan.

Lingrong finished her fruit drink and began to peel lychees secretly. As soon as she peeled a juicy one, she was spotted by Zhen Huan.

"Sister An, why are you so quiet? You're just sitting here peeling lychees and eating them. It's not good for you to hurt your nails."

Ling Rong glanced at her, silently finished eating the lychee, and then slowly spoke, "Zhen Changzai is very popular now. If my sister wants to chat with her, she has to wait in line."

"What are you talking about, sister? Now that you have become a noble due to your favor, I have not even visited you to congratulate you."

Ling Rong hummed. This Zhen Huan started to be sarcastic as soon as she saw her. She was probably not satisfied that her position was higher than hers.

Now she even deliberately mentioned that she relied on favor. Could it be that she still thought that she was promoted to the position of Changzai because of her recommendation?

"If you want to be the most favored one in the palace, you have to be Chang'an. As long as you are Chang'an, the emperor will no longer look at anyone else." Ling Rong is not so kind. She insists on focusing all the attention of the harem on you, Zhen Huan.

When Ling Rong mentioned it again, everyone remembered how favored Zhen Huan once was. Even though she had no children, she was directly promoted to the position of concubine. If she had not done anything wrong, it is unknown whether she would have been promoted to the position of consort.

The greeting ended in this verbal sparring. Lingrong and others left first, but Zhen Huan stayed with Xia Dongchun.

"My lady, Concubine Zhen has not yet come out of the Queen's palace."

Lingrong stood with Zhaoshui at the rockery for a while. She thought that the Queen wanted to ask Zhen Huan to come and give her some instructions, but she didn't expect that after the incense stick passed, Zhen Huan still didn't come out.

"It seems that this Concubine Zhen has taken refuge with the Empress." Ling Rong did not want to wait any longer and called Zhaoshui to leave together.

"My lady, shall we not take a look? Perhaps we can ask Concubine Xia..."

"No need to ask," Lingrong looked at the faint light in the sky, fanning herself while chatting with Zhaoshui, "Zhen Changzai is now alone and helpless, and can only climb up with the help of the Queen."

This was quite similar to her previous life, except that she was targeted by the Queen early on and schemed against her. Zhen Huan took the initiative to join the game, both to do things for the Queen and to let the Queen pave the way for her.

Zhen Huan has an imperial physician, Wen Shichu, by her side, and she is afraid that the Queen's tricks to prevent people from getting pregnant will not work.

Now I want to see who can win between Zhen Huan and the Queen.

However, if these two people join forces, I am afraid that both myself and Concubine Hua will be in big trouble.

Ling Rong's good mood disappeared in an instant. She walked slowly, the sky became darker and darker, and faint thunder rolled behind the dark clouds.

She always felt like she was walking in darkness, just like every night after her defeat.

"Why didn't you bring a lamp and only brought a palace maid?" Suddenly the emperor's voice sounded behind her, but Ling Rong could only vaguely see the emperor's face when she turned around.

Ling Rong hurriedly bowed, "I came out of the Queen's palace and wanted to go to the garden to get some fresh air. I didn't expect it to be so dark."

The emperor did not wake up and did not say much. He just ordered Su Peisheng to hand the lighting lantern to Zhaoshui, and the group left in a leisurely manner.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky. Lingrong was so scared that her hair stood on end. Zhaoshui came over hurriedly to support her, and the lantern was almost extinguished.

"Young master is afraid of thunder?" Zhaoshui murmured in his heart. I remember that young master is not afraid of thunder.

"I'm not afraid. I was just thinking about something and got scared." When Lingrong heard about being afraid of thunder, she remembered that in her previous life, the emperor abandoned Hua Fei, the gentle and beautiful concubine, and ran to Sui Yuxuan to accompany Zhen Huan.

It's thundering today too. I wonder whose palace the emperor will visit, and whether he will remember that Zhen Huan is afraid of thunder.

But as the thunder continued to sound, Lingrong had no choice but to quicken their pace with Zhaoshui, and they finally returned to Shuimu Mingse before the heavy rain fell.

That night, I heard that the emperor went to the Xinghuachun Pavilion. After just one meeting, the emperor easily restored Hua Fei's position and title. It was really casual.

However, just like in his previous life, after the emperor slept with Concubine Hua, he used the excuse that Zhen Huan was afraid of thunder and went to Yuedi Yunju.

But the thunder had already sounded, so why did he only remember Zhen Huan when the heavy rain fell?
