An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Just as Lingrong had thought, shortly after Nian Gengyao was transferred to the position of general in Hangzhou, Cao Qinmo and Lipin asked the emperor to bring Concubine Nian back to the palace.

Firstly, the Tangquan Palace is far away, and the young noblewoman has no caring maid to take care of her, so she will inevitably be in a bad mood, which will affect the dragon heir.

Secondly, Princess Wen Yi cried every day, probably because her mother was not around to accompany her.

"Wen Yi is also your daughter. Now that Shi Lan is not here, you should take care of Wen Yi in Yikun Palace."

The emperor rejected Cao Qinmo without a second thought. Now Nian Shilan was not aware of the fact that Nian Gengyao had been transferred.

If she were brought back to the palace, she would probably have to make a fuss all day long to plead for mercy for Nian Gengyao, which would make her uneasy and would even affect the royal heir.

Besides, she had committed the great evil of cursing the queen, so how could she be let off so easily?

"The Empress is not here..." Lipin called Empress Nian Shilan, causing the Emperor to glance at her unhappily, "It's because the Noble Nian is not in the palace, and there is no maid accompanying her. Your Majesty... Your Majesty might as well send Songzhi over as well."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I and the others are only worried about Noble Nian. If we can ask Songzhi, Zhou Ninghai and the others to go and take care of Noble Nian, they can take better care of her, right?"

The emperor twisted the beads in his hand, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Who have you seen recently, and what have you heard?"

Cao Qinmo shook her head and pretended to be puzzled. "I am worried about Princess Wen Yi, so I go to Yikun Palace every day. If there is someone I see often, it is Song Zhi."

Although the emperor believed that Songzhi would ask Cao Qinmo for help for Concubine Nian, he did not believe that Cao Qinmo's help was completely sincere.

She knows Concubine Nian best. Once she returns to the palace, she will definitely use the royal heir in her belly to threaten me to let the Nian family and Nian Gengyao go.

Concubine Nian's health had been ruined by the pleasures of Yixiang for many years, and her offspring were already unstable. How could she keep a child if she ran around so much for Nian Gengyao?

"Noble Nian separated you and your daughter. I never thought you would be willing to plead for her."

Upon hearing about Wen Yi's incident, Cao Qinmo quietly clenched her handkerchief. Although Nian Shilan was hateful, are you, the emperor, completely innocent?

If you hadn't personally ordered the separation of us mother and daughter, how could Wen Yi be recorded in Nian Shilan's jade book and branded with the Nian family's mark.

Now that the Nian family is on the verge of collapse and Nian Gengyao has been reprimanded, if Wen Yi continues to follow Nian Shilan, she will only end up with a mother's family full of criminals. How can she marry a good husband in the future?

He could only help the Queen and take Nian Shilan's life so that he could bring Wen Yi back to his side smoothly.

"Your Majesty," Cao Qinmo squatted down again, her tone was so mournful that the emperor couldn't help but soften his expression, "My concubine and I were separated from each other at birth, how can I not blame Noble Nian.

But Wen Yi is innocent. Her biological mother is not by her side, and her adoptive mother is far away in Tangquan Palace.

Because of his young age, Wen Yicai was particularly sensitive about being separated from his mother.

When I heard Songzhi say that Wen Yi hadn't slept well for several nights, I couldn't care less and asked the emperor to bring Concubine Nian back to the palace."

The emperor didn't show any emotion on his face, but he was heartbroken when he thought about Wen Yi crying all night at such a young age.

He sent someone to help Concubine Cao, who was crying in the rain, but he couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

If she brought Concubine Nian back to the palace, she would be even more worried. But if she left her confined to Tangquan Palace, she was worried that some people would reach out too far and harm her and her child.

When Cao Qinmo made a fuss today, she was not asking me to bring Concubine Nian back to the palace. She was taking advantage of Wen Yi's pitiful condition and forcing Zhen Lian to send Wen Yi back to Qixiang Palace.

But Wen Yi cannot go back yet. Without her, how can I save Shi Lan's life? The charge of murdering the queen alone is enough to make all the ministers of the previous dynasty submit a petition to order Shi Lan to be executed.

"In that case, you can take Wen Yi back to Qixiang Palace and take good care of her.

Songzhi also went, so that Wen Yi wouldn't sleep uneasy because of the change in the people serving her. "

The emperor finally chose a compromise and asked Cao Qinmo to continue to support Wen Yi, but Wen Yi was still recorded in the jade book of Concubine Nian, without any change.

Cao Qinmo had anticipated this outcome. Even if the emperor was heartless, he would not let the child suffer.

Even if he was unwilling to bring Nian Shilan back to the palace, he would find a way to make Wen Yi live a happier life.

Keeping it by your side is the only option.

Cao Qinmo and her daughter were separated for a long time and finally reunited on the day when the Nian family fell. She was very happy and went to the Yiku Palace immediately after leaving the Yangxin Palace.

"Did she go to Yikun Palace immediately? Did she go somewhere else?"

“In reply to the emperor, after Concubine Cao took the princess back to Qixiang Palace, she never left.

Instead, it was Concubine Li who went to the Queen's Jingren Palace."

Su Peisheng sent people to wait outside Jingren Palace and Qixiang Palace for a long time. It was not until more than an hour later that Concubine Li left Jingren Palace.

"I remember that Concubine Li had some brain problems because of the ghost incident in the past. Who is the imperial physician responsible for taking care of her?"

"I checked and found out that it was Imperial Physician Zhang, the judge of the court, and Imperial Physician Jiang, whom Noble Lady Nian usually uses."

Su Peisheng knew all about these things and there was no need to send anyone to investigate.

"Who sent Zhang Mi?"

"I remember that it was the Empress who asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to go.

Concubine Li just regained consciousness a few days ago, and the Empress sent Imperial Doctor Zhang over.

Because of this, the Queen and Noble Nian had an argument. "

Su Peisheng knew a lot of information, even a small matter like the dispute between two concubines.

However, his ears and eyes were not smart enough to know the content of the quarrel between the Queen and Noble Lady Nian. When the Emperor asked about it, he could only guess that they were quarreling because of the incident that caused Concubine Li to go crazy.

"Princess Li was timid, and she lost her mind after being frightened by the ghost story.

As for a madman, his speech is uncontrollable. I am afraid that one of them wants to get some information from Lipin, and the other is afraid of what Lipin will say. "

The emperor actually saw all the twists and turns in the palace very clearly, especially those things that were blamed on the palace maids. He just turned a blind eye and was unwilling to pursue the matter further.

As long as the harem can maintain superficial peace and avoid any more trouble, it will be enough.

"Your Majesty means that Concubine Li has known the noble lady's secrets for many years." Su Peisheng reacted quickly. He immediately bowed and asked, "Why don't I ask someone to ask Concubine Li?"

There is actually no difference between asking and not asking. Knowing all the dirty things that Concubine Nian has done will only wear away the little beauty that is left in her.

"Go check it out."

The emperor finally promised Su Peisheng. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to see what kind of person the woman he had favored for many years was.

Concubine Li was timid to begin with, and she was still a little crazy, so the people Su Peisheng sent out came back with the news not long after.

"Noble Nian did interfere in Concubine Zhen's son's loss, and Noble Nian was indeed the one who bought the fragrant leaves.

Some time ago, Noble Lady Nian bribed a woman from Yuguan and asked her to give Concubine Duan a drug that would cause dementia.

These are things that Your Majesty knows, and there are also some small things that are tormenting..."

The emperor frowned. It would have been fine if Concubine Nian had just bullied Concubine Duan on a daily basis, but she actually did it in secret and made her stupid.

"I have brought the remaining ladies of Chuxiu Palace with me. Your Majesty, please see them."

Although the court lady was not a proper mistress, she was favored by the emperor after all, so Su Peisheng did not dare to deal with her like this.

"No, he poisoned and murdered the concubines in the harem, so he should be executed directly."

The emperor had no feelings for Yu Ying'er in the first place, he only favored her because of the novelty of her moment. Now that he knew she had done something wrong, he didn't care whether she was coerced by Concubine Nian or not, he directly ordered her to be executed.

Su Peisheng had always looked down upon Yu Ying'er's frivolous and ostentatious appearance, as he was the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

He was investigating the matter according to the emperor's order, but he dared to order me around. He really thought he was a piece of cake.

Su Peisheng was so happy when he heard that Yu Ying'er could be put to death. He ordered Xiao Xiazi to hold Yu Ying'er down and ordered the guards to beat her to death.

"Your Majesty! Please spare my life. I was threatened by Concubine Hua. How could I dare to do anything?"

"Ms. Yuguan, the emperor has issued an order to sentence your master to death. I feel really sorry for this." Su Peisheng stood on the steps. He spoke word by word, but there was no trace of regret in his tone.

"I am the emperor's concubine, how dare you pull me like this!"

Yu Ying'er struggled to break free from Xiao Xiazi's shackles. She tried to rush up the stairs to find the emperor, but was stopped by Su Peisheng and hit on the forehead with a whisk.

Yu Ying'er screamed in pain and became more and more crazy. She pushed and shoved Xiao Xiazi who came over to stop her, shouting that she wanted to see the emperor.

"I want to see the emperor. There is something about Noble Nian that I haven't told him yet!"

Upon hearing that it was about Noble Nian, Su Peisheng raised his hand to stop Xiao Xiazi and let Yu Ying'er rush to the bottom of the stairs.

Su Peisheng went into the hall to report to the emperor, and only after the emperor's approval did he bring Yu Ying'er into the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, Yu Ying'er cried and begged the emperor for mercy. Seeing that the emperor looked impatient, she began to sob softly again, crying out her true feelings for the emperor.

Su Peisheng really couldn't bear to listen any longer. Seeing the emperor's face becoming increasingly darker, he couldn't help but speak up and give some advice.

"My Lady Yu, why don't you tell me what you know? If you can make up for your crime and make meritorious contributions, you may still have a chance to seek forgiveness from the Emperor."

Yu Ying'er really stopped crying and started talking about what she heard from Liu Zhu, that Concubine Nian accepted bribes and sold official positions and titles together with General Nian, disrupting the previous dynasty.

Upon hearing that Concubine Nian dared to meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty, the Emperor was extremely angry, his face turned ashen, and it seemed as if a storm was about to come.

Su Peisheng also lowered his head at this time, wishing he could hide far away outside the hall.

Yu Ying'er felt that it was not enough, and repeated what Noble Lady Nian had done with exaggeration, "I am just a small official girl, how dare I disobey the order of Noble Concubine Hua.

I can only take the medicine and try to put it into Concubine Duan's food. Your Majesty, I was really forced to do this!

Please, Your Majesty, spare me."

The emperor closed his eyes tiredly. Su Peisheng tactfully pulled Yu Ying'er up and wanted to take her out of the Yangxin Palace.

However, Yu Ying'er struggled so hard and kept crying out for injustice, and Su Peisheng had to use a lot of effort to pull her out of the hall.

Xiao Xiazi had been waiting on the side. When he saw his master coming out, he immediately went up to him. Relying on his youth, he quickly twisted Yu Ying'er's hands and tied them behind her back.

"Drag him away and lock him up. When the emperor has calmed down, we will see how to deal with the remaining women."

Xiao Xiazi let out a cry, and immediately called for the guards who were still standing there stupidly to help, and took Yu Ying'er to the Ministry of Punishment to lock her up.

Seeing the guards carrying Yu Ying'er away, Xiao Xiazi dared to touch the back of his hand that was scratched by Yu Ying'er, "How can she be like a master? When she gets angry, she is more aggressive than that street shrew."

"Let me see." Su Peisheng pulled Xiao Xiazi's hand and took a look. Seeing the bloody red marks, his face turned ugly. "The emperor cannot stand such filth. Go down and apply some medicine. Come back to serve me in the palace when you feel better."

Xiao Xiazi responded in a low voice. He looked towards the main hall and said, "Master, Yu Ying'er said that she heard about Noble Nian accepting bribes from Liu Zhu. Do you want to..."

"Detain them all together. The master has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment. As a personal maid, she should also share the master's worries and go in to serve him."

"This Liu Zhu seemed to have served Zhen Changzai in the past." Although Xiao Xiazi didn't like Zhen Changzai very much, because she was once so favored, even the personal maids around her left a deep impression on people.

Su Peisheng didn't care whose maid Liu Zhu belonged to, nor did he care which master she would serve in the past or in the future.

A palace maid who knows too many secrets would be safer in the Ministry of Punishment.

"Given who she is and how much she knows, she can't keep her life."

Xiao Xiazi nodded. He didn't quite understand what his master said, but he knew that Liu Zhu would probably go with her master Yu Ying'er.

I just don’t know if her former master Zhen Changzai would feel sad for her.

"Okay, why bother thinking so much? Go down and treat the wound on your hand."

Su Peisheng patted Xiao Xiazi's shoulder. He had been out for too long. If he delayed any further, the emperor would probably vent his anger on him.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, no one knows it better than yourself.

"Has it been dealt with?"

"I have already sent Yu Guan's daughter and her personal maid to the Ministry of Punishment. As for the matter of Noble Lady Nian..." Su Peisheng glanced at the emperor cautiously and did not dare to say the rest of the words.

"Send someone to Tangquan Palace. This is a serious matter. She must come back to take a look."

The emperor didn't want to bring Concubine Nian back to the palace, but she had been involved in Nian Gengyao's selling of official positions and titles, and it was up to her to eliminate the hidden followers of the Nian family bit by bit.

Su Peisheng did not dare to delay. After agreeing to all the requests, he quickly sent his men to pick up Nobleman Nian.

But because Nian Shilan was pregnant, even if Su Peisheng was anxious to complete the emperor's order, he could only order her to hurry back slowly so as not to hurt the royal heir in Nian's belly.
