An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

The Queen, under the pretext of caring about Concubine Hua's offspring, asked her to return to Yikun Palace early to rest.

But since Concubine Hua was unable to speak to Concubine Li, she naturally refused to leave.

She glanced at Jiang Cheng and Zhang Mi, and acted helpless, "Doctor Jiang is an expert in gynecology, and Doctor Zhang is an expert in general medicine. Both of them are not very good at treating madness.

I have already invited someone outside the palace, who will arrive later today. I am worried that this will delay Lipin's recovery, so I have the audacity to disobey the Queen's orders and stay with Lipin in Chuxiu Palace."

After Concubine Hua said this, the Queen was at a loss. She tried to persuade the Queen for a long time, half threatening and half convincing her about her pregnancy, but still failed to get the desired result.

"Then... thank you for your hard work, sister." The queen did not plan to stay for long, but she kept Zhang Mi.

After all, Zhang Mi was the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and those quack doctors who wanted to treat the concubines in the palace had to go through him.

Concubine Hua also knew the rule, so even if she was reluctant, it was worth it for her to ask Zhang Mi to wait in the palace.

Seeing that the Queen was finally leaving, Concubine Hua immediately called Cao Qinmo over and asked her to see the Queen off properly.

Cao Qinmo immediately agreed and respectfully escorted the Queen out of the main hall.

"Why do I need Concubine Cao to escort me like this? Just ask the maids around you to do it." The Queen did not refuse just now, but now she deliberately provoked, "You take it seriously, so just listen to Concubine Hua's arrangement."

Cao Qinmo was so smart that she naturally understood what the Queen was hinting at - Concubine Hua only treated her as a maid by her side, and it was a humiliation for her to see the Queen off so respectfully.

But what can she do? Wen Yi is still in the hands of Concubine Hua. If Concubine Hua falls, Wen Yi's status will plummet.

She could gamble with her own life and find a way to bring down Concubine Hua, but she couldn't gamble with Wen Yi's future.

"It is my duty to escort the Empress out," Concubine Cao forced a smile, "Concubine Hua has this kind of temper. I am almost used to it."

Almost used to it, but not used to it. The Queen sneered in her heart, it seems that she was right, because of Wen Yi's matter, Nian Shilan and Cao Guiren are no longer on the same page.

Never underestimate a child's mother. After all, as long as she loves the child, she can do anything.

It is obvious that Cao Qinmo is the mother who loves her children.

"This kind of thing is easy to get used to. Just trample on your face. As for the things that are hard to get used to... it's hard work for you."

How could Cao Qinmo not know that the Queen was talking about the incident of Wen Yi being taken away.

She warned herself in her heart that the Queen was trying to sow discord between her and Concubine Hua, and she should not be easily fooled by the Queen.

But at the same time, her heart couldn't stop shifting and she began to fall into thoughts of separation between mother and daughter.

"Sister, you know about Fu Changzai, right?"

The queen deliberately mentioned Fu Changzai, and she sighed, as if the words just now were talking about Fu Changzai.

"I only heard a little bit, and I don't know exactly what happened that day."

"Even if I didn't tell you, you would have guessed it with your intelligence." The Queen looked at Cao Qinmo and smiled slightly, "Concubine Duan wanted to adopt a royal heir and raise him by her side, but it caused Concubine An to have nightmares and Concubine Fu to have a miscarriage on the spot.

She herself was poisoned by Fu Changzai and nearly lost her life."

The Queen sighed repeatedly. She stole a glance at Concubine Cao's expression and saw that her smile was obviously hesitant. She continued, "Concubine Duan has always been dignified and generous, and treats people kindly. It is really hard for me to believe that she would do such a thing."

Concubine Cao didn't know how to answer, she just sighed and turned her head slightly to look in the direction of Yikun Palace.

"It means that there is no one left in her Qi family now, otherwise why would she bother to take someone else's child away?"

This statement couldn't be more obvious. On the surface, it was referring to Concubine Duan, but in fact it was referring to Concubine Hua.

But Cao Qinmo didn't dare to respond and could only smile awkwardly.

After all, Concubine Hua is not a poor family like the Qi family. How can Cao Qinmo express her dissatisfaction as openly as the Queen does?

Seeing that Cao Qinmo didn't dare to speak for a long time, the queen smiled and said, "Forget it, Your Majesty, there is no need to say more about this matter. I am just expressing my feelings.

But I still have to say one more thing...Flowers don’t last forever, let alone people?

Sister, just wait and you will get good news."

The queen waved her hand slightly and said, "Go back. I just said a little more because Fu Changzai was thinking of you. Don't take it to heart."

"Your Majesty, you really make me feel bad," Concubine Cao stood still and bowed slightly to see the Queen off. "Your Majesty's care for the harem is a blessing for the six palaces and for me as well."

The queen did not say another word, and finally left Yikun Palace slowly with Jianqiu.

Concubine Cao let out a long breath. She held Yinxiu's arm and leaned slightly, "Talking to the Queen is really tiring."

Yinxiu whispered to comfort her, saying that every word the queen said was provocative and it was really hard to guard against.

The queen had already lost the princess, and was hurt by such words. I don’t know how sad she must be.

"My Lord, shall we go see the princess?"

Cao Qinmo wanted to go of course, but now Wen Yi was Concubine Hua's daughter, so how could she see her whenever she wanted?

If Songzhi hadn't taken me there secretly last time, I really don't know when I would be able to ask Concubine Hua for permission.

"I thought that after making so many new clothes, Wen Yi couldn't use them."

"Why don't you send your young master to the Yikun Palace? I'm sure Concubine Hua will agree." Yinxiu was optimistic. She still felt that Wen Yi was her young master's daughter, and it wouldn't be too difficult to meet her.

But how could she know that Concubine Hua was a person with an extremely strong possessiveness. Once she determined that something was hers, others were not allowed to even think about it.

But anyway, give it a try.

Concubine Cao sorted out her thoughts, wiped her eyes, and finally returned to Qixiang Palace.

Concubine Hua was chatting with Concubine Li. When she saw Cao Qinmo come in, she immediately asked her what the Queen had said.

"The Empress mentioned the matter of Concubine Duan. She caused Fu Changzai to lose her child. Concubine An couldn't sleep at night, but she was only confined for a month."

“That bitch actually wanted to hold a child and raise it under her knees.

How can I raise a good child if I don't have the love I want, the family background I want, and even the money I don't have? "

Concubine Hua did not hide her disgust for Concubine Duan. She even rolled her eyes slightly and said, "That Concubine Fu is really stupid. She actually failed to poison Concubine Duan to death."

Lipin, who had just recovered her spirit, wiped the sweat from her forehead. She looked around the palace, examining every shadow.

Even though she is almost recovered now, the fear in her heart is still buried.

When she heard Concubine Hua's stern tone, she trembled with fear and leaned against the wall, not daring to move at all.

Concubine Hua glared at the timid Concubine Li and said, "Concubine Cao, why don't you think of a way to stop this bitch from showing off again?"

Cao Qin remained silent. She looked at Concubine Li in the corner and it took her a while before she mentioned Yu Ying'er.

"Yu Ying'er has been a disciple of the Empress since she served in the bedchamber. If the Empress is willing to help her regain favor, she will be willing to do so even if she is asked to poison Concubine Duan."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua finally remembered the official girl who was not even a concubine. Poisoning a concubine was a big deal. If Cao Qinmo was asked to do it, she would be implicated if she was discovered.

But if I ask Yu Ying'er to do it, as long as I have her family under my control, she will have no choice but to work for me obediently.

This kind of dog, which cannot escape from your control but has to obey you, is the most useful.

"As for this matter, leave it to..."

"Your Majesty, why don't you let Lipin do it?" Cao Qinmo raised her chin and motioned Concubine Hua to look at Lipin in the corner of the bed. "After all, she has just recovered from a serious illness and has never seen a woman from the Yu official. She is the least likely to leave a handle on her."

Seeing how cautious Concubine Li was, Concubine Hua became furious. She was scared crazy by the haunted incident caused by Zhen Huan.

Now that he has finally gotten better, he still looks so disgusting.

"In her current condition, she will only mess things up." Concubine Hua rejected Cao Qinmo without thinking. It would be less risky for Concubine Li to do this, but if she got sick, wouldn't all the efforts be in vain?

"Your Majesty." Cao Qinmo shook her head slightly, "We just need to use Jiang Yun who is beside Lipin. Even if it is discovered, the emperor will only think that someone bribed Jiang Yun and wanted to put the blame on Lipin and Your Majesty.

After all, His Majesty is also aware that Concubine Li has not fully recovered."

"That's right."

Concubine Hua finally smiled. Only then did she feel that Lipin's madness was very useful. After all, even if the case was really traced to Lipin, she could use her madness to avoid investigation.

Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Cao smiled at each other. They didn't care whether Concubine Li would be blamed by the Emperor. After all, she had once been crazy and it was impossible for her to serve the Emperor anymore.

At this time, Concubine Hua felt at ease. Giving Concubine Li a chance to work for her was already a favor. After all, only if she could do something for her would she be willing to spend some money to make her life more comfortable.

Concubine Li opened her mouth. She wanted to reach out and pull Concubine Hua, but then she withdrew her hand in disappointment.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Yun beside me is just a little palace maid. I'm afraid she can't do these things."

"No one is born with the talent," Concubine Hua said impatiently, "You used to be very active, but now you are making excuses."

"Concubine..."

Lipin frowned. Her reaction was obviously much slower than before. No one knew whether it was due to the sequelae of being scared crazy or because she took too many medicines and damaged her brain.

"Just focus on your recovery," Noble Consort Hua interrupted Lipin again. She only wanted the result and was not willing to figure out how to do it step by step. "Noble Lady Cao will help you. Just listen to her."

Only then did Concubine Li slowly say "oh" and she looked at Cao Qinmo with a smile on her face.

This scared Cao Qinmo. After all, Lipin looked down on her in the past and followed Concubine Hua around to mock her time and time again. How could she be smiling like she is now?

But it’s better this way, the madman won’t hinder my plan and will just do my bidding obediently.

"Your Majesty, I have embroidered several winter clothes recently and wanted to send them to you and the princess.

I wonder if Your Majesty would allow me to see the princess?"

Concubine Hua naturally knew that Cao Qinmo had ulterior motives and sending winter clothes was just an excuse to visit Wen Yi.

"You can keep the winter clothes for yourself. Why bother sending them to my palace?"

Concubine Hua directly rejected Cao Qinmo's idea of ​​visiting Wen Yi. Now that Wen Yi was her daughter, there was no way she could allow her to visit her every day.

"As for Wen Yi, she has finally adapted to life in Yikun Palace. Concubine Cao should stop disturbing her, lest she scare the princess."

Afraid? Cao Qinmo almost wanted to ask out loud. She was Wen Yi's biological mother. How could her own daughter be afraid of her mother?

"But...I haven't seen the princess for a long time, and I miss her a little."

Cao Qinmo simply asked directly, with a pair of eyes full of deep longing that made people unable to refuse.

But Concubine Hua is not an ordinary person. She snorted impatiently, "Concubine Duan, if you do a good job on this matter, you will naturally be able to meet Wen Yi."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy." After receiving the promise, Cao Qinmo felt relieved, but she hated Concubine Hua even more.

She forced the biological mother and daughter to separate and forbade them to meet. She wanted to see the child she gave birth to, and she had to deal with the dirty work for Concubine Hua in exchange for a chance to see Wen Yi.

It was not until she returned to her own palace that Cao Qinmo's suppressed emotions finally erupted. She threw the tea that Yinxiu brought her directly to the ground, and the scalding tea even spilled on the back of her own hand.

"My lady!" Yinxiu didn't pay attention to the broken porcelain pieces. She immediately rushed forward, holding Cao Qinmo's hand and looking at it carefully.

Fortunately, the tea only burned a red mark on the back of my hand.

"Why are you so angry, young lady? It's fine if you smash these cups and plates, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will replace them. But if you burn your skin, you will be the one who suffers."

Yinxiu blew on the red mark, then took out the ointment for burns from the box and applied it carefully to Concubine Cao.

It was no coincidence that the burn ointment was available in the palace. It was because Concubine Cao would personally cook simple meals for Princess Wen Yi, so she just asked for it from the Imperial Hospital.

After all, Concubine Cao’s cooking skills are average, and she always burns herself accidentally.

Yinxiu finally finished applying the medicine, and she gently advised, "My lady, why don't we go secretly to see Princess Wen Yi.

It was Miss Songzhi who helped us last time, why don’t we go find her again? Even if it costs some money, it would be great if we could see the princess.”

"Songzhi won't help us a second time." Cao Qinmo looked at the burns on her hands, and she began to think of what the Queen said - if there was no one in the Nian family, how could she, Nian Shilan, be so arrogant and take away her own child.

I don't want to endure this any longer, so I might as well think of some way to let her taste the pain of losing her child.
