An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"If my sister really treated me as her younger sister, she wouldn't let me suffer in Yongshou Palace." Zhen Huan forced a smile. She thought of the days when she had to eat rotten food, and later when even rotten food was gone.

The reason why they couldn't eat was actually because of a good idea that Shen Meizhuang came up with when she was helping to manage the six palaces. "Sister, do you still remember the idea of ​​reducing the regular dishes?"

"What does this have to do with cutting back on the menu?"

Shen Meizhuang just felt that Zhen Huan was a little bit baffling. She had not thought carefully about reducing the standard dishes, which was already very shameful. Now that the past was brought up again, she was left with only anger in her heart.

"At that time...I did have some shortcomings. I wonder if Concubine Zhen was going to laugh at me."

"It is indeed insufficient. I was confined to Yongshou Palace and almost starved to death because of my good sister's method."

Zhen Huan stood up without waiting for Shen Meizhuang to tell her to stand up. Huanbi put a coat on her so that she wouldn't be too cold.

"Looking at my sister, I forgot how miserable I was.

Yes, my elder sister was favored by the emperor at that time, and she also had the power to assist the six palaces. How could she have thought of a poor sister like me? "

Shen Meizhuang stood there in a daze, listening to Zhen Huan talk about how miserable her life was when she was under house arrest.

But who is not treated harshly when under house arrest? When I was falsely accused, wasn’t there also no charcoal or food?

"The Zhen Huan I know wouldn't hold a grudge against anyone because of this incident."

Zhen Huan glanced at Shen Meizhuang and laughed out loud the next second.

"It was my own carelessness that led to me being framed and being grounded and suffering so much.

In fact, these things have nothing to do with my sister. If there is anyone to blame, I should blame the person who framed me, and the person who didn't believe me and put me under house arrest.

But we are the best of sisters, and you just forgot about me and even made me suffer more. How could I not feel resentment?

Sister Mei, I just know this is wrong, but I won’t say it.”

Zhen Huan actually knew very well who she should blame.

But when she thought that it was her best sister who almost caused her death, she couldn't help but feel malicious.

"I'll plead for you and help you find the truth." Shen Meizhuang's voice trembled. She felt wronged and angry. "I did everything I could to save you. I have done nothing wrong to you."

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang's excited expression but still kept a smile on her face.

Only after Shen Meizhuang had said everything she wanted to say did she nod calmly and say, "I understand."

“My sister came here today just to ask me why I wanted to hurt you.

But I don’t want to tell you the reason yet, so you can only wait.”

Shen Meizhuang clutched her cloak tightly, and suddenly recovered from the sadness of the sister's feud, "Zhen Changzai, you not only harmed me, but also my child, and almost harmed the Shen family.

I always felt that you were framed. Even if you brought the bowl of abortion pills yourself, I would not believe it was you.

But during the time I was in the Old Summer Palace, I checked everyone.

I am so ridiculous that the person who hurt me was actually you."

It seemed as if all the strength in Zhen Huan's body had been drained away. She leaned on Huanbi, her heart filled with fatigue and helplessness.

If it weren't for Prince Guo, he and Shen Meizhuang would not have ended up in this situation.

He approached her, stirred up a pool of spring water, and then withdrew gracefully. Now he has married Meng Jingxian as his wife and lives a reckless life.

However, the queen got hold of her and brought harm to her best sister.

Zhen Huan had almost completely lost her strength, and Huanbi, who was suffering from back pain, could no longer support her. The two of them slid down to the ground in a mess, their faces looking pale.

Shen Meizhuang subconsciously took two steps forward, but still stopped thinking about helping Zhen Huan.

She couldn't figure out why Zhen Huan wanted to harm her, and Zhen Huan didn't know how to explain it.

The two former sisters just stared at each other from afar. It took a while for Zhen Huan to come out of her powerless mood.

She looked at Shen Meizhuang deeply, but began to think in her heart how to survive in this Baohua Palace.

Zhen Huan knew Shen Meizhuang's character very well. Even if she had hurt her badly, she would only find out the truth instead of attacking her.

If this is the case, I just need to stay in Baohua Palace and I will still have a chance to rise again.

If he wants to revive, he will need help. Shen Meizhuang and Chun Changzai are the best "helpers".

Therefore, he must not explain the whole story in detail now. If he told Shen Meizhuang that he was coerced by the Queen, she would only blame him for not telling her earlier.

He even blamed himself for making such a big mistake and for having an unclear relationship with Prince Guo.

But if he didn't make things clear, he was afraid that she would be schemed against by the Queen like himself, and would have to compete for favor, scheme, and even lose her life.

"Mrs. Hui, I am sorry for you, as for the reason, please don't delve into it.

But please forgive me for saying this, don't trust anyone easily, especially... the Queen."

Without waiting for Shen Meizhuang to answer, Zhen Huan struggled to get up from the ground. She wrapped her cloak tightly around her and turned to walk into the hall.

"One more thing, how is Liu Zhu?"

"I have brought her and Xiao Yunzi back to the palace." Shen Meizhuang took two steps forward, clutching the clothes on her chest. "They just went hungry for two meals. It's nothing serious."

"That's good." Zhen Huan had already entered the palace, and the door was slowly closed by Huanbi. The two of them only had time to look at each other before they were separated at both ends with a bang.

Shen Meizhuang looked at the main hall whose door had been tightly closed, feeling sad and helpless.

She firmly believed that Zhen Huan was just one of the murderers, and there was someone hiding deeper behind her.

Judging from what Zhen Huan just said, it seems that the person hiding behind this is the Queen.

But, can we still believe what she says?

After Shen Meizhuang left, Liu Zhu finally arrived at Baohua Palace.

But because she did not have the emperor's order, the guards blocked her outside the door.

"You are... from Yongshou Palace?"

"Yes, I am a palace maid of Yongshou Palace. I heard that Concubine Zhen is now living in Baohua Palace. I want to go in and take a look."

As Liu Zhu said this, he tried to reach out and push the door of Baohua Palace, but his arm was grabbed by the guard.

"What are you..."

Liu Zhu was horrified and struggled to leave, but this guard was not like Cai Xing, who gave her room to struggle.

The guard simply twisted her hands and sent Liu Zhu directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs without giving her a chance to explain.

All the palace maids in Yongshou Palace have been dismissed. Liuzhu and Xiao Yunzi came back too late, so even if they wanted to serve Zhen Huan, they couldn't.

Liu Zhu was eventually assigned to be a palace maid who planted flowers. On the second day after returning to the palace, she went to Yime Garden.

Xiao Yunzi was luckier because she was injured and was temporarily left in Chengqian Palace.

In order to avoid causing trouble, Lingrong directly asked Zhaoshui to help Xiaoyun re-register his name in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

As for where she will be assigned, Xiao Yunzi can only leave it to fate.

"My lady, don't you want to keep Xiao Yunzi here?" Zhaoshui had just visited Xiao Yunzi. Now his life was saved, but he still couldn't get out of bed. "He knows martial arts, and he is grateful to you, my lady."

Lingrong shook her head. She knew that Xiao Yunzi was loyal and useful, but now was not the time to keep him.

“You have to know that he suffered such a serious injury in order to protect Zhen Changzai’s secret.

It’s a good thing that he is loyal, but it would be a terrible thing if he is not loyal to me.”

Ling Rong looked at the bowl of bitter medicine that Zhao Shui brought to her and felt a little nauseous. She pinched her nose and forced herself to swallow the medicine.

Zhao Shui brought some sour plums to help Ling Rong suppress the bitterness.

"My young master has suffered so much, taking bowl after bowl of medicine."

Ling Rong ate several plums in succession until she felt the bitterness in her mouth disappeared, then she stopped and pushed the plums further away.

"What's the point of suffering like this?" Ling Rong stroked her already slightly bulging belly. She finally didn't have to plan so much these days and finally had a chance to rest. "I'll be content if I can get a good night's sleep."

Not only myself, but also the baby in my belly is in much better health. It is not like before, when it would make a fuss and keep me awake all night if I wasn't careful.

"It's because of the good medical skills of Imperial Doctor He and the sensible young master." Zhaoshui squatted down and pinched Lingrong's swollen legs. "Now that the troublemaker has been sent to Baohua Palace, I believe the days ahead will be better."

Lingrong is not as optimistic as Zhaoshui. Zhen Huan is not so easily defeated.

In her previous life, she was able to return to the palace in glory after working in Ganlu Temple. Now that she is still in the palace, I am afraid that life will be even easier for her than in her previous life.

What is different from her previous life is that Zhen Huan even turned to the Queen. If she really wanted to regain favor, I'm afraid the Queen would give her a push.

"There is no such thing as falling out of favor in this palace, unless the person is dead and can no longer fight.

Or maybe she is old and no longer favored by the emperor, and she can’t get the emperor to look at her no matter how hard she tries. "

It would be nice if I didn’t have to rely on the emperor, Lingrong stroked her belly.

But relying on his family background, it might not be so easy to push his son to the position.

A father who loves leisure and a younger brother who is not sure whether he can be relied on.

Either she can win the emperor's favor and raise his profile like Zhen Huan, and the child will get new help.

Or she could find an existing prince, become his adoptive mother, and fight for the position of empress dowager.

It’s just that the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, one is stupid and the other is bad, neither of them is suitable to be adopted as a son.

There is... a Fifth Prince, but Ling Rong has never seen him in either her past life or this life.

"Zhaoshui, have you ever heard anyone talk about the Fifth Prince?"

Zhaoshui shook her head. She didn't even know there was a prince named Fifth Prince in the palace.

"Young lady, why don't you ask Aunt Fang Jing? She is an old lady in the palace, so I'm sure she knows something."

"Okay, but there's no rush." ​​The Fifth Prince is not in the palace now, so even if he knew the news, he can't do anything at this moment.

Ling Rong didn't know which prince ascended the throne in the previous life, so even if she wanted to do something in advance, it would probably be a waste of effort.

"I really don't know if the young master is a princess or a prince." Zhaoshui didn't think as far ahead as Lingrong. She looked at Lingrong's belly expectantly, imagining how happy it would be to have a baby born.

"This baby will definitely be a girl." Ling Rong was very sure. She patted her hands and said, "You will have to take good care of her when the time comes."

"Don't worry, young master. I will definitely take good care of you."

The two of them had not talked for long when Fang Jing came over. It turned out that it was time for pulse diagnosis and He Anming was already waiting in the hall.

But it wasn't just He Anming who came, there was also Concubine Tian from the Yanxi Palace. Fang Jing asked briefly, but Concubine Tian refused to explain her purpose and just said that she came to see Lingrong.

"Noble Lady Tian, ​​are you coming to visit me?" Noble Lady Tian came to ask Lingrong to help her with things. Otherwise, since her rank was half a level higher than Lingrong's, she would definitely not condescend to come to Chengqian Palace.

Lingrong asked Zhaoshui to deliberately put more powder on her face, making her face look even more gray.

After seeing herself in the mirror with sunken eye sockets and pale face like paper, Lingrong finally felt relieved and met with Concubine Tian.

"You...you look too scary. He Anming, feel Lady An's pulse."

When Concubine Tian saw Lingrong, she was shocked. She looked like this after just a few days of not seeing her. Could there be something wrong with the royal heir in her belly again?

"I felt a little unwell last night, and my waist was in a lot of pain, so I tossed and turned all night, and my face looked tired."

Ling Rong often had trouble getting up in the morning since she became pregnant. She was very familiar with these symptoms, and they came in handy when she was dealing with other people's questions.

But He Anming listened to Concubine Tian in the end. He bowed to Lingrong and asked if he wanted to take her pulse.

Originally, today was the day when He Anming would take Ling Rong's pulse. Ling Rong stretched out her wrist with confidence, not worrying that He Anming would ruin her show in front of Concubine Tian.

"Your Excellency, are you here to see me take your pulse?" Ling Rong looked at the anxious Noble Tian. "Doctor He is your Excellency's trusted confidant, so his presence should not have any impact."

"It's not a big deal. I heard that Xiao Yunzi is being treated here. Will you keep him to serve you?

If he doesn't want to stay, I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask for his transfer to the Yanxi Palace."

Lingrong was a little puzzled. Why did Concubine Tian suddenly come to Xiao Yunzi? Could it be that... she wanted to interrogate Xiao Yunzi and ask him to reveal more of what Zhen Huan had done?

It seems that Concubine Tian is not satisfied with Zhen Huan being imprisoned in Baohua Palace. She always wants to find more evidence of Zhen Huan's crimes so as to completely wipe Zhen Huan out of the palace.

"It is indeed rare to find such a loyal eunuch. But the more loyal they are, the more likely they are to do bad things.

Because he is still loyal to the "monk" in Baohua Temple. "

It is naturally a good place for Xiao Yunzi to go to the Yanx Palace. Although Concubine Tian and Lady Xia are a little spoiled, they will not beat or scold their subordinates at will.

"Why are you so long-winded? Just one sentence, stay or not."

Concubine Tian didn’t have so many thoughts. She only had one simple goal, which was to take Xiao Yunzi away.

Even if An Lingrong disagrees, she can still be forced or bribed not to use the imperial physician.

"Actually, I have a better candidate."
