An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Lingrong looked at the emperor's expression and guessed that he didn't know that she had drugged Zhen Huan.

Since it was not an interrogation or punishment, Ling Rong felt relieved. She sat beside the emperor and served him soup with a faint smile.

"Whatever the emperor commands, I will obey it carefully."

"It's not a big deal. I just thought about how hard it was for you to be pregnant. You don't need to greet or pay a visit to either the Queen or Concubine Hua.

As for you, just pretend to be sick. With Fanglin and Fanghua here, no one will dare to barge in."

This sounds like house arrest, but the emperor's attitude is not like that. Ling Rong looked at the emperor with some doubts, "This is..."

"Rong'er, I have lost too many children. Although I love you very much, I am worried that someone will be jealous and hurt you."

With just a few words, the emperor covered up his previous neglect of Lingrong, and used the excuse of protecting Lingrong and her son as an excuse, which made outsiders think that the emperor was really sincere.

But Lingrong knew very well that the emperor just didn't care.

If it weren't for the accident of his beloved Shen Meizhuang, the emperor would not have thought of assigning a few palace maids to take care of her, let alone assigning Imperial Physician Zhou over.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to worry about these trivial matters? Fanglin and Fanghua have both served Your Majesty before, and now they are assigned to be with me. How could I not understand Your Majesty's intentions?

With the help of Dr. Zhou, who is an excellent doctor, this baby will be well taken care of."

Lingrong said some nice words according to the emperor's wishes, which made the emperor happy. She stroked the emperor's brow and gently smoothed out the wrinkles.

"So Your Majesty, please don't frown or sigh. I understand everything."

The emperor held Lingrong's hand and sighed worriedly. "As for what happened in the Imperial Garden that day..."

"These are just small matters, why is Your Majesty so worried? Look at me, I am fine.

Even if someone has the wrong intention, they must know that it is wrong, so Your Majesty should not delve into it further. "

Apart from the Empress, there is no one else who likes to take action against pregnant concubines.

The only thing that surprised Lingrong was that the Queen used these methods on her very casually, and she thought that she was instructing her subordinates to do it.

Ling Rong did not doubt Concubine Tian. After all, if she had any idea, it would be safest and quickest to ask He Anming to take action directly. It would be more conspicuous to have her fall from the sedan chair.

As for Xia Dongchun... Ling Rong felt emotionally that it was not her, but her mind told her that there was no one in the palace she could trust, not even Xia Dongchun who had helped her a lot.

Of course, the most likely person is Fu Changzai, who is currently pregnant.

A palace maid with no sincerity at all. The only thing in her mind is to step on everyone to get to the top. She has no sincerity at all.

The emperor had no idea what was going on in Lingrong's mind. When he heard that Lingrong was not going to make a fuss about it, his gloomy expression completely disappeared.

He finally had the mood to pick up the bowl of medicinal food and taste it carefully, but perhaps because he had not had it for a long time, it seemed that he tasted a different flavor this time.

"This medicinal food... seems to be different from the past."

"Because it is winter, I asked Imperial Doctor He to improve it and relieve liver and depression, which is most suitable for the emperor who is busy with government affairs day and night.

When this medicinal food was served, Xiao Xiazi had already tasted it. Is it okay for Your Majesty to eat it?"

The invisible Xiao Xiazi answered yes, and the emperor then felt at ease to use up the remaining medicinal food, and at the end he did not forget to comment that it tasted good.

"As long as the emperor likes it, I will give this modified recipe to Eunuch Su. Now my health is getting worse, so it is difficult for me to go to the imperial court to serve soup to the emperor."

Lingrong doesn't want to gamble with her own safety and that of her child just to maintain her image in front of the emperor.

Anyway, since Concubine Hua and Concubine Fu are competing, there is no need for me to run out and show my courtesy.

"Okay, after you give birth, you can bring me soup." The emperor did not force it. After all, it was just a bowl of soup, not as important as the birth of a child.

Lingrong nodded happily. Now that the emperor had finished speaking and it was getting late, she wanted to push the emperor out and have a good sleep.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Fu is also pregnant. Is she okay?"

"Perhaps she is weak and has been struggling for the past few days. The Queen has asked Zhang Mi to take care of her, but she hasn't gotten better."

When Ling Rong heard that it was the Queen who asked Zhang Mi to take care of Concubine Fu's health, she couldn't help but smile. Perhaps because she did not hide it, the Emperor felt a little strange.

His expression changed in an instant, and no one knew what he was worried about.

"I think that Sister Fu Changzai wants the emperor to accompany her. If the emperor accompanies her more, she will probably get better faster."

Lingrong spared no effort to tell the emperor how much Fu Changzai cared about him, and it would be best if he could stay in the Yanx Palace tonight.

Otherwise, Concubine Hua and the Queen would focus their attention on her again.

However, the emperor thought that Lingrong was just jealous and that was why she said these meaningful words.

He had no intention of leaving and decided to stay in Chengqian Palace for one night.

This behavior disappointed Lingrong greatly. She could only rub her stiff face and continue to coax this difficult master.

About five days after Zhen Huan was drugged, Zhaoshui accidentally met Tang Di who went to the Imperial Hospital to see Doctor Wen.

"But are you sick? Or are you being——"

Zhaoshui held Tangdi's hand with concern. She did not directly ask about Zhen Chang's situation over there. Instead, she asked about Tangdi's health, worried that she would be bullied by those two again.

Tang Di shook her head and smiled, no longer as melancholy as she had been a few days ago, "Mrs. Zhen has a sore throat, so she asked me to ask Doctor Wen to take a look.

But the emperor has ordered that no one can enter or leave Baohua Palace at will, and I don’t know how to invite Doctor Wen to come over.”

"This is indeed a difficult matter," Zhaoshui and Tangdi smiled at each other. Neither of them planned to think of any way to help Zhen Changzai solve her current predicament. "Why not tell Doctor Wen about Zhen Changzai's symptoms and get some medicine?"

"It's just that Doctor Wen is often not in the Imperial Hospital. I came here a few times and he seemed to have gone to Xianfu Palace."

Xianfu Palace? The person living in that palace is Concubine Hui, the former good sister of Concubine Zhen. Doctor Wen goes to Xianfu Palace almost every day now. Could he be planning something?

This matter must be told to the young lady as soon as possible, lest Concubine Hui be deceived by Concubine Zhen again and try every means to rescue her.

"Xianfu Palace... Concubine Hui had a miscarriage due to safflower. I think Imperial Doctor Wen is trying to help Concubine Hui find some solutions to avoid having children..."

Zhao Shui gave him a look that said you understand. After all, walls have ears, so she didn't dare to say too much outside. "Lady Hui and Lady Zhen are good sisters. It's normal for them to trust the same imperial physician."

Hearing the word "safflower", Tang Di's expression changed immediately. She pretended to cough to cover up her panic, but still couldn't help asking, "Is the effect of safflower... really that strong?"

Zhaoshui nodded. She looked around and made sure that there was no one around before she dared to lean close to Tangdi's ear. "It doesn't matter, it still depends on the dosage.

It's like adding salt to soup, the more salt, the stronger the effect."

Hearing Tangdi's concern about the effects of the safflower, Zhaoshui confirmed that the safflower had been fed to Zhen Changzai.

She smiled and patted Tang Di's arm. "Actually, I don't really understand either. When you find Doctor Wen, you can ask him more."

Tang Di nodded. She was thinking about whether she should give Zhen Changzai some more red flowers, so that she wouldn't have to rely on Doctor Wen's careful treatment and recover completely.

Having done it once without being discovered, Tang Di became more and more courageous.

She only wanted to bring misfortune to Zhen Changzai and Huanbi, and was unwilling to let the master and servant be cured like this.

Therefore, even if she saw Doctor Wen, she would just say that Concubine Zhen had caught a cold and now had a hoarse throat, and asked Doctor Wen to prescribe some medicine.

When Wen Shichu heard that his sister Huan had caught a cold, he immediately went to the imperial pharmacy to get medicine.

But in order to prevent people from discovering that he had secretly given medicine to Baohua Palace, he had almost no hesitation and directly credited these cold medicines to Concubine Hui.

Tang Di got the medicine and wanted to leave immediately, but was stopped by Doctor Wen and asked many questions, one about Zhen Changzai's health and the other about her mood.

He even found a lot of travel books and asked Tangdi to take them back to Baohua Palace to entertain Zhen Changzai.

Tang Di had never seen such a person before, but she still accepted all these things.

After all, strictly speaking, these books were privately given and received by Zhen Changzai. If the emperor were to investigate this matter someday, the only one who would be in trouble would be Zhen Changzai.

Tang Di originally wanted to rebel against Zhen Huan and Huanbi, so she was naturally happy to help Doctor Wen deliver some things to them.

After finally bringing these things back, Tang Di not only had to deliver a letter to Zhen Changzai, but also had to light the stove that was emitting black smoke and boil medicine for Zhen Changzai to dispel the cold.

With the new book to read, Zhen Huan smiled and praised Tang Di sincerely.

But she was cautious and planned to let Tang Di return the books to Wen Shichu after she finished reading them in a few days.

After all, her close personal relationship with Prince Guo has already brought her bad luck. If she is involved with Wen Shichu again, she will never be able to clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River.

But these books still need to be read. There are only some boring scriptures in the Baohua Hall. After reading them all day long, I feel like I have become a haggard old man like the empress dowager.

These travel notes recording anecdotes from various places are more interesting. Even in the small space of Baohua Palace, her thoughts can travel around the world.

Later, she asked Wen Shichu to find some history books and poems to read. Zhen Huan relaxed and her throat seemed to feel much better.

But she didn't know that Tang Di would not return the books, but would secretly hide them as evidence of her private transfer.

On the other side, Zhaoshui told Lingrong the news he heard from Tangdi.

She thought the young lady would be happy because the red flower had been given to Concubine Zhen, but she didn't expect that the young lady seemed to be more concerned about the affairs of Concubine Hui and Doctor Wen.

"You mean, Doctor Wen goes to Xianfu Palace almost every day?"

"After Tang Di said that, I asked someone about it and found out that Doctor Wen did go to Xianfu Palace quite often.

Sometimes I go to the main hall, but most of the time I go to Cunju Hall to treat Concubine Hui."

Unexpectedly, in this life, Shen Meizhuang is still entangled with Wen Shichu, Ling Rong sighed in her heart.

But no matter in the past life or this life, Ling Rong never understood why Shen Meizhuang fell in love with this imperial physician whose eyes only belonged to Zhen Huan.

Wen Shichu's manners and appearance were just above average, and he was still far behind the Prince Guo that Zhen Huan had her eyes on.

In terms of true feelings, Wen Shichu doesn't like her, but her "good sister" Zhen Huan.

In terms of family background, it is just average. Although the Wen family has been imperial doctors in the palace for generations, their salary is really low, and compared with the emperor, it is just a penny.

In terms of medical skills, Wen Shichu is first-rate, but no one would like to fall in love with an imperial physician simply because he has great medical skills.

After thinking it over, Lingrong still couldn't figure it out. She even wanted to rush to Xianfu Palace to ask, "Shen Meizhuang, what exactly do you like about Wen Shichu?"

"Young Master, Young Master?" Zhao Shui called out several times before Ling Rong finally came back to her senses. "Young Master, have you thought of anything?"

"I'm just curious, does Doctor Wen go to Xianfu Palace every day just to diagnose Concubine Hui?

Even if she was injured by the red flower, she would just take some medicine, there is no need to see her every day."

Zhaoshui was also a little curious. She followed Lingrong's thoughts and thought for a long time, "Could it be that... Doctor Wen is using acupuncture to invigorate the blood and replenish the Qi for Concubine Hui, so as to improve Concubine Hui's constitution so that she can successfully get pregnant again?"

This guess is much more reliable than Ling Rong's wild thoughts about private affairs. If Shen Meizhuang just wanted to get pregnant again, it would be normal for her to be so anxious to find the imperial physician.

But Lingrong still can't help but suspect that the relationship between Hui Guiren and Wen Shichu has changed, and guesses that the two are in love.

"It's just that Imperial Doctor Wen has hooked up with Concubine Zhen again. I'm afraid Concubine Hui will be deceived again. Try to find a way to rescue her."

This speculation had been made before, but Lingrong felt it was unlikely. After all, what Zhen Huan did was not just as simple as an abortion, she almost destroyed the entire Shen family.

If Shen Meizhuang forgave Zhen Huan just because of Wen Shichu, it would be too funny.

"Then... I will try to find out some information. If necessary, I can also ask Caixing."

"Just pick the stars."

Cai Xing was brought from Shen Meizhuang's home. Even though she was moved by the kindness she had shown her, she would not tell anyone about Shen Meizhuang.

"If you want to ask, go find the servants in Concubine Jing's palace. They watch us all day long, so they must have a lot to say."

While Lingrong and Zhaoshui were trying to find out about Shen Meiyu, Wen Shichu went to Xianfu Palace as usual.

As usual, he went to the main hall to check Concubine Jing's pulse and advised her to go to bed early and relax as this would help her get pregnant.

After Concubine Jing agreed, he entered Cunju Hall and took Shen Meizhuang's pulse and gave her acupuncture.

Wen Shichu was in a very good mood after learning about Zhen Huan's situation, and he relaxed a lot when talking with Shen Meizhuang.

But in contrast to him, Shen Meizhuang's face was full of displeasure. She stared at Wen Shichu who was preparing the silver needle for a long time before asking a question that was too intimate.

"If one day, I harm Concubine Zhen, will Doctor Wen still be so serious and treat me?"
