An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

As the saying goes, a thief can only steal for a thousand days, but you can never guard against thieves for a thousand days.

But facing a person like the Queen who is both highly skilled and ruthless, even Ling Rong, whose hands are stained with the blood of countless people, feels a little scared.

There was no other reason, it was because the Queen's status was too high. And the Queen Mother was still there, so as long as the Queen didn't do something that would be abhorrent to both humans and gods, she would have a way to keep her, so it was really hard to shake her for a while.

Now, the only card in Lingrong's hand that can barely shake the Queen is that Queen Chunyuan's death is related to the Queen.

However, with her current connections, it is still difficult to find out the past events in the palace.

But this matter must be investigated no matter what. If one day the Queen really harms me, I have to find a way to bite her off.

"My lady?" He Anming looked at Ling Rong in deep thought and couldn't help but speak, "If my lady is really worried about Princess Youning, I will go and report to the emperor and tell him that the snake venom has serious effects and I need to treat the princess well. In this way, I won't have to go around the palace to treat other people."

"This is a good idea." It would naturally be a good thing to leave a capable imperial physician to take care of Youning.

But He Anming was, after all, a minister, so there was no reason for him to stay in the Imperial Hospital every day.

Ling Rong shook her head. She thought that this method was good, but it seemed too inhumane. "You must take a rest after being on duty for a few days. Otherwise, you will be so tense that you will relax sooner or later."

He Anming lowered his eyes. He knew what Concubine An was worried about, but this was the best solution so far.

Unless Concubine Xia is willing to take the red flower directly to the Emperor to sue the Queen, she can only be on guard like this every day.

"If you think it's not good, just give me more money.

I am the only son in my family, and I have no family. I want to save more money so that my parents can live out their days in peace. "

It would be good if the problem could be solved with money. Ling Rong was also worried that as time went on, He Anming would not have enough energy to take care of Youning.

But since he has put forward the conditions, we should just assume that he can do his best.

"Then...let's listen to Doctor He." Ling Rong agreed. She turned her head and gave Zhao Shui a look, telling him to go down and prepare the money.

There were only two people left in the hall. Ling Rong was quietly thinking about how to deal with the Queen, and she didn't say another word to He Anming.

He Anming accompanied him at the side, neither asking any more questions nor taking any more steps. He only said thank you to the young master after Zhaoshui brought the reward money.

"I also want to thank Doctor He for being willing to make such plans for Youning and me.

No matter how much money you need, I will find a way. Maybe I can't compare to Lady Tian, ​​but..."

"Little Master."

He Anming finally spoke, interrupting Lingrong's words. His family had been practicing medicine for generations, so they were already well-off. In addition, the Fucha family was used to spending money, so he had long lost his attachment to material possessions.

If it weren't for the desire to make Concubine An trust him, he would not have asked for these rewards.

"I don't mind the extra money, and there's still a long time to come. I'm afraid you won't be willing to spend it."

Ling Rong shook her head, and her heart finally settled down. But sometimes she was curious about why He Anming was willing to help her like this.

Could it be that it was really for that little bit of money? Or was it Lady Tian's order?

"Zhao Shui, please send Doctor He off."

Ling Rong never asked the question in her mind. She always felt that the answer was neither of these two, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Since she couldn't figure it out, Ling Rong stopped worrying about it. She sorted out her thoughts, washed her hands, and then went to the side hall to accompany You Ning.

But Youning is still young, and all he does all day is eat and sleep. When he is awake, he looks around with his big eyes open, which makes him even more adorable.

When the wet nurse saw Lingrong coming, she told her when the princess woke up and how much milk she had used.

Lingrong listened carefully and amused Youning with a stuffed doll with a bell in her hand.

"Although the princess is only a month old, you can tell her some interesting stories or sing a ballad. This way, the princess will become more intelligent."

"This is the first time I've heard of this." Lingrong smiled and hummed a few lines of a Jiangnan tune. Youning slightly widened his eyes and stared in the direction of Lingrong without blinking.

Lingrong was delighted by the child's adorable behavior and happily played with Youning for a long time.

It was not until it was time for Youning to be taken away for feeding that Lingrong reluctantly handed her over to the wet nurse.

Coincidentally, Zhaoshui just came back. She was a little out of breath and took deep breaths for a long time before telling her the news she had heard.

"When I was seeing off Imperial Physician He, I happened to hear two young palace maids talking about Noble Lady Nian. I followed them to hear what happened to Noble Lady Nian.

Unexpectedly, it was not Noble Nian who got into trouble, but General Nian. I heard that the Emperor dismissed Nian Gengyao from his post as Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and General of Fuyuan, and said that he was transferred to be a general in Hangzhou!"

This had happened in her previous life, so Lingrong was not surprised. However, in this life, Nian Shilan did not stay in the palace. She was afraid that Nian Gengyao would be executed, and she was still pregnant in Tangquan Palace without knowing it.

"It seems that the good days of the Nian family are coming to an end. This also means that Zhen Changzai will be back in the public eye again."

Zhaoshui didn't understand what the Nian family's fall had to do with that Zhen Changzai. "Could it be that the Zhen family was behind the Cheng family's fall?"

"The Zhen family did contribute, so the emperor should give them some face and release their daughter."

"But... Concubine Zhen did such a wrong thing, did the emperor forgive her just like that?" Zhaoshui was very surprised, and even his tone of voice rose slightly, "How can we appease Concubine Hui?"

"The appeasement in the palace is nothing more than a reward or a favor."

Lingrong saw it clearly. The emperor might bestow rewards and favors on Shen Meizhuang, but she didn't know whether Shen Meizhuang was still willing to accept the favor.

After all, she already has Wen Shichu now, and she is probably unwilling to serve the emperor again and get involved in the struggle in the harem.

"But Concubine Hui doesn't look like she's willing to compete for favor right now."

Zhaoshui thought about it for a long time. She was not optimistic about the relationship between the emperor and Shen Meizhuang. She felt that the emperor's idea would definitely be rejected by Concubine Hui.

"So, before Concubine Zhen leaves Baohua Palace, her best sister will hate her again because of the emperor." It has to be said that the emperor is good at breaking up the relationship between sisters, as it was with Rouze and Yixiu in the past, and now it is Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan.

Who knows how many evil things he will do in the future, causing the women in the harem to scheme against each other in order to fight for his little bit of favor.

"This is a good thing. We don't have to worry about Concubine Zhen targeting the young lady and having bad intentions again."

Zhaoshui had no good feelings towards Zhen Huan, and even felt annoyed when Zhen Huan was mentioned.

He wished that she would never appear in front of him for the rest of his life, so as not to make his mistress worry.

"If Concubine Zhen leaves Baohua Palace, the first thing she will do is to compete for favor.

Even if she wants to deal with us, she will have to wait for some time."

Zhen Huan has suffered enough from falling out of favor now. She has transformed even earlier than in her previous life, and I'm afraid her methods will become even more ruthless.

"I just can't figure out why Concubine Zhen is so cruel to my lady. My lady used to have a harmonious relationship with her and there was never any conflict."

Lingrong had thought about this matter countless times, and she even went to Baohua Palace to ask Zhen Huan about it not long ago.

After all, based on her understanding of Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan would not do such a thing.

But Lingrong didn't know that Zhen Huan's favor in this life came too easily. The emperor treated her like his legal wife from the very beginning. She was unconsciously praised to the sky and really thought she had met the true person who would stay with her till old age.

Especially since this man was the king of a country, he was willing to give up three thousand beauties in his harem just for her.

"It doesn't matter why she did this. She and I have been enemies for life. If we meet, we will only step on each other's sore spots and make life difficult for each other."

This life has nothing to do with the previous life. Ling Rong had already decided not to care about the entanglements of the previous life. She did not owe Zhen Huan any favors in this life, so why bother about Zhen Huan's transformation.

"My lady, although you are involved in the situation, is much more clear-headed than this servant." Zhaoshui suddenly understood and realized immediately that what they had to deal with most urgently right now was not Concubine Zhen, but the Queen's killer move.

"Being sober is not enough, we also need means." Now that the Nian family is about to collapse, the queen will definitely try every means to crush Nian Shilan to death. Even if she cannot take Nian Shilan's life, she will abort the baby in her belly and let her rot in Tangquan Palace for the rest of her life.

"My young master wants to..."

“The Nian family has been reprimanded by the Emperor at this critical moment, and our Empress will definitely take this opportunity to bring down Noble Nian.

At this time, she asked Xia Changzai to approach me and plot against me. I am afraid she is planning to capture both me and Concubine Nian in one fell swoop."

Relying on her understanding of the Queen in her previous life, Lingrong guessed again and again what methods the Queen might use.

Xia Dongchun… Xia Dongchun…

Ling Rong whispered Xia Dongchun's name and suddenly guessed the Queen's method.

"I really underestimated the Queen. She already knew that Xia Dongchun had the intention to betray me. The red flower package was not meant for me, but to frame me."

"Frame-up?" Zhaoshui didn't follow Lingrong's thoughts for a moment. She scratched her forehead, her face full of confusion. "I have already dealt with the powder."

“The Empress must have bribed officials in the previous dynasty and started planning to deal with the Nian family and Noble Nian.

Therefore, when the emperor expressed the idea of ​​settling accounts with the Nian family, she knew about it immediately, and even instigated the father of Concubine Tian and Concubine Zhen to make suggestions in the court."

"In this way, with the downfall of the Nian family, Noble Nian will also be disliked by the emperor." Zhaoshui nodded repeatedly, but she still didn't quite understand why the young lady said that the red flower was used to frame someone.

"How can it be enough to just despise her? The Queen was nearly killed by Noble Nian using the Nightmare Suppression Technique. Only by exchanging one life for another can we settle this grudge.

When I was giving birth, the Queen was caught tampering with me. In order to maintain her power and position, the Queen wanted to get rid of me as well.

Now that the noble lady is pregnant, Xia Dongchun has sent me red flowers. When the noble lady has a miscarriage, that will be the day I will be pushed out to take the blame."

Zhaoshui opened her mouth, she didn't even know what words to use to describe the queen.

Such painstaking planning was only for the purpose of getting rid of the two concubines.

She is already the queen now, why does she still want to interfere in the harem struggles like this?

"But we have already dealt with the red flower. It is impossible for the Queen to use this to frame me."

"If Lady Xia can deliver it once, she can deliver it a second time.

Moreover, this red flower can be regarded as evidence that the Queen is trying to murder Youning and me again. We will most likely keep this evidence and present it to the Emperor to prove the Queen’s guilt.”

Lingrong sighed. This Queen was truly terrifying. If one was not careful, one would fall into her trap and never be able to climb out.

"Then, then according to what the young lady said, the Queen will then plead with the Emperor to bring Noble Nian back from the Tangquan Palace?"

Zhaoshui was also shocked by the Queen's meticulous mind, but the young lady was able to piece together the Queen's plan based on these fragmentary pieces of information, and her scheming was no less profound than that of the Queen.

"You guessed right," Lingrong nodded, very happy with Zhaoshui's intelligence, "This is just a guess. Next, let's see whether the Queen...or Concubine Cao and others will plead for Concubine Nian."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't even dare to look the Queen in the face." Zhaoshui patted his chest and pretended to be scared. "I'm really afraid that if I smile, the Queen will plot against me."

Lingrong covered her lips, amused by Zhaoshui's words, "Even if the Queen is very smart, she can't set up a trap with just a smile from you."

"That's hard to say. I need to read more medical books. It's far from enough to just rely on Doctor He."

Zhaoshui is now a little afraid of the queen. The concubines in the palace are like chess pieces in the hands of the queen, and she can manipulate them however she wants.

As a small servant, all she could do was to perform her duties conscientiously and not cause trouble for her master.

"You are so thoughtful," Lingrong beckoned Zhaoshui over, she held Zhaoshui's hand and patted it again and again, "Don't be afraid, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up.

You are so loyal to me, how can I let you follow in their footsteps?"

Zhao Shui held Ling Rong's hand. She knew who the young lady was talking about. There had been a series of servants betraying their masters in Chengqian Palace, and the young lady almost dared not use the new people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I am a servant brought by the young lady from outside the palace. In fact, I am no different from the natural slave of that family.

She will not be Baojuan or Baoque. She will only stand firmly by her master's side and help her master move to a higher position step by step.

"With the young master here, how can I be afraid?" Zhaoshui felt a little sour in her eyes, and she tried to blink her eyes, "Besides, there are not only me in Chengqian Palace, but also Xiaochizi, Aunt Fangjing. Even Fanglin and Fanghua are all trustworthy.

You are not alone anymore."
