An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"In reply to Concubine Hua, the snake has been caught."

With this group of masters present, Fang Jing, as the head aunt of Chengqian Palace, had no choice but to stand by and serve.

"That's good. If the emperor is injured, all of you in Chengqian Palace will lose your heads."

After hearing Fang Jing's answer, Concubine Hua finally felt relieved. After all, judging from An Lingrong's appearance, the poison of this snake was very strong. If she was bitten by it accidentally, she would probably die.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Hua, his face was not good. But Concubine Hua was thinking about herself, so it was not good for her to get angry at this time.

He had no choice but to wave his hand and told Fang Jing to continue talking, "Tell me the whole story clearly. How did Lady An get bit by a poisonous snake?"

"After the meal, the young lady strolled around the palace to digest the food.

But because the pregnant woman was a little sleepy, she fell asleep on the reclining chair under the pear tree.

But no one noticed when the snake came, and by the time we found out, the young master had already been bitten by the venomous snake."

"How do you do things? Leaving the master alone to take a rest under the tree?" Concubine Hua shouted angrily, which scared Fang Jing.

Fortunately, Fang Jing remained calm and was not frightened by Concubine Hua and said anything.

"Madam Hua Fei, we did not leave the young lady alone, but the snake crawled silently and was indeed not discovered at the first time."

"The master is still in danger, but this cunning servant has cleared herself of all charges," Concubine Hua looked at the emperor and softened her voice, "Your Majesty, you must drag her away and interrogate her."

The emperor shook his head. The matter had not been thoroughly investigated yet, but the person was thrown into the Ministry of Punishment. With such tactics, there would be countless unjust imprisonments.

“This is a poisonous snake. The person who released it must have put it in a snake cage, otherwise he would have lost his life if he was not careful.

Su Peisheng, take people to search the residences of the palace servants in Chengqian Palace.

I want to see who is so bold as to send this poisonous snake into the palace."

Su Peisheng was very efficient. He called Xiao Xiazi and Aunt Fangjing to go and searched room by room to see if there were any snake cages.

It’s a pity that after searching the entire Chengqian Palace, there was no trace of the cage.

But this snake would never appear out of thin air in Chengqian Palace. If it cannot be found in Chengqian Palace, I'm afraid someone took advantage of the chaos and disposed of the cage.

"Xiao Xiazi, go and ask who left Chengqian Palace after Concubine An got into trouble."

The incident in Chengqian Palace happened suddenly, and all the palace people were in chaos. After Xiao Xiazi questioned them carefully, he found that only Zhizi, Dingdong and Xiaochizi had left Yanxi Palace.

Gardenia went to the Imperial Palace to find the Emperor, Dingdong went to Jingren Palace to find the Empress, and Xiaochizi caught the snake and took it to the Imperial Hospital.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the three of them, and send more people to search around Chengqian Palace to see if there are any discarded snake cages."

Su Peisheng was still clear-headed at this time. He knew that "nothing was found" was not the result the emperor wanted at all.

Even if you really can't find the so-called snake cage, you still have to check all possibilities before you can report back.

It is precisely because of this ability that Su Peisheng was able to become the emperor's most trusted eunuch in chief.

Several eunuchs quickly took the order and went to investigate. Su Peisheng finally had some free time and ran over to check on Ling Rong's situation.

At this time, the second decoction of medicine had been drunk, and Lingrong stopped talking nonsense.

But he was still drowsy and never opened his eyes completely.

He Anming sighed. After nearly an hour of hard work, the man's life was finally saved. However, the condition of the baby in her belly was unknown and she still needed help from a mirror to check on him.

"Zhao Shui, draw the curtains around here later. Help Miss An to see if she has any bleeding symptoms."

Zhaoshui felt relieved only when he knew Lingrong was no longer seriously injured.

She let out a long sigh, called Mu Jin for help, and temporarily drew a curtain around the reclining chair.

There seemed to be something wrong with the quilt. He Anming gathered it together and pressed it down with a medicine box.

Zhaoshui brought a new blanket and checked Lingrong's body. There was indeed blood between her legs, but fortunately not much.

"Doctor He, there was indeed bleeding, but the amount was not much and it has stopped now."

He Anming and Zhang Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief. They both checked Ling Rong's pulse and found that although the fetus was unstable, it was saved.

As long as we can get through today safely, the child will be saved.

"Doctor Zhang, this medicine..."

"Doctor He, please prescribe the medicine. I will go and report to the Emperor and the Empress.

I have finally managed to keep my title as the judge, and I have to thank Doctor He."

He Anming just bowed, smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Mi returned the greeting, brushed off his clothes, and then went into the hall to answer.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss An is now fine.

As long as there are no other problems today, everything will be fine."

"Okay, okay!" The emperor was relieved when he heard that Lingrong was fine.

The depressing atmosphere in the room finally dissipated. The emperor immediately proposed to go and see Concubine An, but was stopped by Zhang Mi.

"Your Majesty, Lady An is still in a coma and her condition is not good.

Because it was poisonous, it was inconvenient to move, so I could only rest on the chair. "

The emperor frowned and looked outside the door, but ultimately did not get up to check.

Zhen Huan was looking at the emperor's expression and was about to say something, but finally she closed her mouth.

"This is already a great thing," the Queen took over the conversation, her expression looking more sincere than anyone else's. "I will definitely go to the Buddha to burn incense, hoping that Concubine An and the heir will be safe and sound."

"The Queen is thoughtful." The Emperor finally smiled. He reached across the table and patted the Queen's hand. "However, there is no need to tell the Queen Mother about this, so as not to worry her."

"I know." The Queen touched the back of her hand and smiled even more gently than before, "Doctor Zhang, will this snake venom... affect the heir in Lady An's belly?"

"This... for now the heir has been saved, but as to whether it will have any impact, I'm afraid we will have to wait until the heir is born to find out."

Zhang Mi didn't dare to say anything definite. After all, the snake venom was too toxic and it was very likely to cause the royal heir to die in the womb.

If the toxins stimulate the fetus, even after it is born safely, it may suffer from physical deformities or dementia.

However, as an imperial physician, one must be careful in what he says and does, lest he say something he shouldn’t, anger his masters, and get himself killed.

During this short period of time, the emperor's heart was in turmoil. Now, after hearing the news, his face could no longer show any expression.

"Forget it, as long as nothing happens."

The emperor comforted himself in this way. He glanced at Zhen Huan who was once pregnant, but wondered in his heart why one royal heir after another could not survive.

He had no idea that most of the children in the palace died either at the hands of the Queen or at his own hands.

"Your Majesty," Su Peisheng finally came back from outside, and he led Xiao Xiazi forward, "We found this snake cage in the Imperial Garden.

It’s just that no one saw who lost it.”

Su Peisheng handed the snake cage forward, and the emperor only glanced at it, "Then check to see who in Chengqian Palace has been to the Imperial Garden."

"I have checked and found that after Lady An was bitten by a poisonous snake, only Gardenia walked through the Imperial Garden.

But Zhizi insisted that she didn't know about the snake cage and she had never lost it. "

"Then throw her to the Ministry of Punishment. No matter how stubborn someone's mouth is, it can be pried open." Hua Fei spoke slowly, and she spoke very lightly, as if throwing this person into the Ministry of Punishment was as easy as eating a grape.

But the hall fell silent for a moment, and no one responded to her.

Even the emperor just glanced at her with a hint of displeasure.

Su Peisheng only recognized the emperor as his master. He stood aside with his back hunched, not daring to really listen to Concubine Hua. He sent Gardenia to the Ministry of Punishment.

"Your Majesty," Zhen Huan watched for a long time, and seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat stagnant, she spoke up, "I think that we should not only check the palace maids who went to the Imperial Garden after Noble Lady An was bitten, but also before she was bitten."

"I'm afraid that Mrs. Zhen has lost her mind. What is there to check before she was bitten?

Is it possible that someone would dare to catch a snake with bare hands and bring it to Chengqian Palace to bite Concubine An? "

Concubine Hua couldn't stand Zhen Huan the most. When she heard that she dared to take the opportunity to show her face in front of the emperor to curry favor, she wished she could step on her immediately.

"Empress Hua, since we can't find out who lost the cage, find a way to find out who took it.

This snake cage is not small, and even if you are careful, it may be discovered."

Concubine Hua snorted disdainfully. She stroked the kingfisher headdress on her head and didn't even want to look at Zhen Huan. "It's such a big cage, and no one saw who threw it."

Zhen Huan was choked. She really didn't want to compete with Hua Fei. But Hua Fei's mind was full of favors. She was afraid that she couldn't do anything that required her brain.

Don't argue with fools, Zhen Huan silently comforted herself in her heart. She held the teacup and drank silently. The hall became quiet again and no one paid any attention to Concubine Hua.

"Su Peisheng, go check it out." Finally, the emperor spoke and ordered Su Peisheng to check it out again according to what Concubine Zhen said.

Until now, Ling Rong has not woken up. The emperor had some memorials to review, so he only glanced at them and left with Zhen Huan.

When the Queen and Concubine Hua saw that the Emperor had left, they instructed He Anming and Zhang Mi to take good care of Concubine An, and then left Chengqian Palace one after another.

Until late at night, Ling Rong still did not wake up, but those terrible symptoms had all subsided.

During this period, Jingpin and Xia Dongchun both came to visit Lingrong, but unfortunately they were unable to wait for Lingrong to wake up.

Zhao Shui fed the patient the medicine prescribed by Doctor He several times, but each time he only drank half and spilled the other half, so it was difficult to feed him the whole thing.

She was always worried that the young lady had not woken up because she had not completely fed the medicine.

"It's this snake. Its poison is too strong." He Anming leaned against the tree, feeling a little drowsy, but he still comforted Zhaoshui and told her not to worry too much.

It was not until the beginning of midnight that Ling Rong showed some signs of sobriety.

He Anming suddenly woke up. He asked Zhaoshui to give Lingrong the last pill and fed her a lot of water.

Just one stick of incense stick had passed since she swallowed the pills when Ling Rong finally woke up. She opened her eyes in confusion and looked at the curtains around her.

"My lady..." Zhaoshui saw Lingrong wake up, and the depression in his heart finally dissipated, and tears flowed down his face, "You are finally awake, my lady."

Lingrong looked at Zhaoshui crying in front of her, and subconsciously touched her head to comfort her.

After a while, she remembered that she was bitten by a snake. She thought that the snake was a poisonous one, which made her sleep until late at night.

She subconsciously touched her belly and asked Zhaoshui in a panic whether the baby was affected.

Zhaoshui was crying so hard that his nose was full of snot and tears. He finally sniffed his nose and said, "The young master is fine."

Lingrong then breathed a sigh of relief. She had no strength left in her body, but she still tried hard to wipe away Zhaoshui's tears.

"My lady, if I hadn't walked away, you would not have been bitten by the poisonous snake."

"It's not your fault. I was careless." Ling Rong shook her head slightly. She dreamed of her past life again.

Everything happened over and over again, and she still had the taste of bitter almonds in her mouth, feeling that nothing was real now.

"I just thought it was spices or medicines. I never thought someone would bring such dangerous things into the palace."

Zhaoshui shook her head desperately. She grabbed Lingrong's hand and always felt that it was her own problem.

However, He Anming suddenly interrupted the two of them. He bowed through the curtain and asked to feel Lady An's pulse.

Ling Rong patted Shui's hand before offering her wrist, "Thank you, Doctor He, for bringing me back from the brink of death."

He Anming did not reply immediately. He took the patient's pulse carefully and did not let go of his hand for a while.

"The young master is basically fine now, but he still needs to take the medicine.

Especially this pregnancy-maintaining medicine, I'm afraid it can't be stopped until the royal heir is born."

After hearing that she had to keep taking medicine to maintain pregnancy, Ling Rong knew that the snake venom would indeed have an impact on the child.

She touched her belly and felt very sad, but for some reason, she couldn't shed any tears.

After a long silence, Ling Rong finally said quietly, "I understand."

"My Lady An, I know you don't have any trusted imperial physician in this palace.

But this pregnancy-maintaining medicine is indispensable. If my lady dares to trust me, please ask Zhaoshui to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine."

Without waiting for Ling Rong to answer, He Anming bowed slightly, picked up the medicine box and thought about leaving.

However, the quilt pressed by the medicine box suddenly attracted his attention. He Anming picked up the quilt, but still did not smell any unique smell.

But he always felt that there must be something wrong with this quilt. "Master An, I suspect there is something on this quilt that attracts snakes.

Would you allow me to take it to the Imperial Hospital for a thorough examination?"

"Then I'll trouble Doctor He."
