An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Nian Shilan didn't know what had happened in the Nian family. She just thought that the emperor missed her and brought her back from Tangquan Palace.

As soon as I returned to Yikun Palace, I found that Songzhi, Zhou Ninghai and others had not stayed behind, and had gone to serve that bitch Cao Qinmo.

Fortunately, the Ganoderma lucidum was still there, and Mr. Nian finally felt relieved.

"Send someone to Qixiang Palace to bring my daughter back. As for the two servants who betrayed their master, bring them back as well.

The two of them are my Nian family's servants, and even if I don't want them, I can't let Cao Qinmo, that poor man, order them around."

Lingzhi hummed, but still stood there without moving.

Nian Shilan was so angry that she grabbed the teacup beside her and threw it out.

Lingzhi was unable to dodge and was hit right on the calf, wailing in pain.

"What are you yelling about? You're dithering and dragging your feet. Are you thinking that I've lost my position and want to bully me?"

Seeing that the Lingzhi still did not move, Nian Shilan became more and more angry, "Not only am I pregnant with the heir to the throne, but you cannot treat me with disrespect just because my brother is Nian Gengyao."

Lingzhi shrank back in fear at the loud voice. She immediately left the main hall, found a little maid to serve Noble Lady Nian, and went to Qixiang Palace to bring Songzhi back.

In fact, Lingzhi had no intention of neglecting her, but Concubine Cao had only received the imperial decree yesterday to take Princess Wen Yi away. How could she go to Qixiang Palace to take Princess Wen Yi back today without even an order from the Emperor?

In addition, General Nian has been repeatedly reprimanded and demoted. He is no longer able to provide the Empress with the full support he used to.

Fortunately, the palace servants of Qixiang Palace did not stop Lingzhi. Upon hearing that Noble Lady Nian had returned to the palace, Noble Lady Cao ordered Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai to go back as soon as possible to serve her.

"Go back quickly. Lady Nian has been traveling all the way, it's better not to make her angry.

It's just that she is pregnant with the heir to the throne, so she shouldn't be too happy or too sad. Miss Songzhi, even if you want to say something, you should think carefully before you say it."

Now that she was under his roof, Songzhi had no choice but to bow her head and listen to Cao Qinmo's lecture.

Fortunately, Cao Qinmo was not a talkative person and was unwilling to discipline servants for others, so he only gave instructions on important matters.

“As for Princess Wen Yi, if Noble Nian obtains the Emperor’s order, I will send her back immediately.

Now that the princess has finally gotten some sleep, please don’t bother her.”

Songzhi and Lingzhi looked at each other. Cao Qinmo's meaning was obvious. If she wanted Princess Wen Yi to return to Yikun Palace, she needed the emperor's order, otherwise she would not let her go no matter what.

But the queen's personality is such that she is unwilling to suffer any loss. I am afraid that they will start quarreling again and make the emperor angry.

"Her Majesty has ordered that the princess be taken back to Yikun Palace. My dear, you also know Her Majesty's temper, so it is better not to make her angry."

Songzhi spoke with gritted teeth. She knew that her master now had the same status as Concubine Cao and could not be called the Queen at all.

But after all, the Nian family is still there, and the emperor's favor is still there, so it is possible that she will return to the position of imperial concubine one day.

If Concubine Cao refuses to let go, then we can only leave it to fate and see what the Empress decides.

"Songzhi, I just said that the princess finally fell asleep, don't wake her up."

Concubine Cao had a very tough attitude. Now that the Emperor had ordered the liquidation of the Nian family, Nian Shilan's complete downfall would only take a day or two. How could Concubine Cao give face to Nian Shilan and send her child back into the tiger's mouth?

"Yinxiu, please see the two girls off."

Before Song Zhi could even open her mouth, she was pushed out the door by Yin Xiu. But Song Zhi had never been treated like this before, and she was a little dissatisfied, "I am the head aunt in the palace of Concubine Hua, how can you pull me like this!"

"Songzhi...Auntie," Yinxiu stood in front of the door, raised her hand to her lips and told Songzhi to be quiet, "Now that Noble Nian has returned to the palace, it is important to hurry to serve Noble Nian. Why bother making a noise in Qixiang Palace and displease the master?"

Hearing that Yinxiu intentionally emphasized the three words "Nian Guiren", Songzhi became even more angry. She gritted her teeth and glared at Yinxiu fiercely.

"A phoenix in trouble is still a phoenix, how can you, a little hoof, mock me?" Songzhi pushed away Lingzhi's hand and deliberately raised her voice, "You used to kowtow at the feet of our queen, but now you have completely forgotten it.

But you can forget anything, but don’t forget that Princess Wen Yi is now recorded in our queen’s jade book, and the queen is the mother of Princess Wen Yi! "

Yinxiu was left speechless by Songzhi's words. She wanted to defend herself, but she also knew that what Songzhi said was the truth.

If they quarreled in the courtyard, not only would they lose face for the young lady, but they would also become a laughing stock for the whole palace.

Therefore, Yinxiu just rolled her eyes and sneered disdainfully.

Without waiting for Songzhi to get angry, she closed the door and made a loud noise with Songzhi in the yard.

"Sister, stop arguing." Lingzhi pulled Songzhi's arm and whispered, "There are only two little girls serving the queen, let's go back quickly."

"Have you told the queen about what happened in our Nian family?" Songzhi tried hard to suppress her anger and began to scold Lingzhi again.

"You were also brought by the Queen from home, so why are you still so weak? They dared to mock the Queen like this, you should scold them with me."

"Sister Songzhi!" Lingzhi finally raised her voice and stopped Songzhi from cursing.

She knew why Songzhi spoke so recklessly, but she had to tell her to shut up, lest she continue to speak recklessly and cause more trouble.

Songzhi and herself were ordered by the Emperor to be confined to the Yiku Palace to take care of Princess Wen Yi, and were not allowed to stay by the Empress' side.

Both of them were extremely panicked, worried that the empress would be bullied in the Tangquan Palace.

Especially Songzhi, she has been serving the empress since she was a child and has never been separated from her for such a long time.

As soon as he heard that the Empress had returned, the suppressed grievances and anger naturally burst out, and he could no longer be as calm as before.

"Let's go back and not cause trouble for Her Majesty. In the future... I'm afraid Concubine Cao may still be of use to you. It won't be good for Her Majesty if things get awkward."

After hearing Lingzhi's comfort, Songzhi sighed heavily and suppressed her emotions. The two of them did not linger any longer and finally remembered to go back and report to Noble Nian.

The two had discussed things well along the way, but as soon as they saw the face of their master, they began to get scared.

The master is the only one who can plead for the Nian family and the general, and the fact that the general was demoted must be told.

But if I tell this, I'm afraid the queen will get very emotional, which will affect the baby in her belly.

As soon as he entered the Yiku Palace, he heard Noble Lady Nian's angry rebuke.

A little palace maid knelt on the ground, rubbing her eyes and sobbing softly.

"Madam...what happened?" Songzhi was startled. She quickly ran to the little girl and asked sternly, "What did you do to make Madam angry? Why don't you apologize?"

"I know I was wrong..." The little girl was still crying and didn't say what happened. "Please forgive me, my lady."

When Song Zhi heard the little girl calling her "young master", her eyes widened immediately. "Why are you calling me that in front of your majesty? Your majesty, this little girl is really annoying. Let me slap her in the face."

When Nobleman Nian waved his hand, Songzhi swung her arm and slapped the little girl to the ground.

The little girl wailed and covered her face, but was slapped several times in succession.

Seeing that Concubine Nian's complexion had recovered a little, Songzhi asked Lingzhi to take the little girl out, and she poured tea for Concubine Nian and served it to him.

"This girl doesn't know the rules. I will send her back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"What's the point of sending her back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? One by one, they will start to show their rebellious faces when they know that I have lost power."

Concubine Nian took a sip of tea, and her anger seemed to have dissipated. She stroked her belly and glanced at Songzhi who was squatting beside her and massaging her legs.

"Where's Wen Yi? Why didn't you bring him back?"

"Your Highness, Princess Wen Yi is taking a nap," Song Zhi was also a little distressed about how to convey Concubine Cao's words to the Queen, "Concubine Cao said..."

"Why, even she dares to show disdain to me." Noble Nian gave Songzhi a sidelong look, her expression showing signs of impending disaster. "How can she be worthy of a daughter of a poor family?"

"My lady, with her looks and family background, she will never be able to surpass you.

It won’t be long before she will be at the feet of the Majesty, begging for alms.”

Noblewoman Nian sneered. Cao Qinmo had done countless dirty things. Now that she had lost her power, how could she survive for long?

Now he even dares to compete with me for Wen Yi. He has really made progress.

"What an ungrateful bitch! If it weren't for my help, the Emperor wouldn't have remembered her.

Songzhi, go to Qixiang Palace now and bring my daughter back.

If you can't bring Wen Yi back, you don't have to come back."

Songzhi frowned. Concubine Cao was tough and refused to send the princess back, but the queen was very persistent and insisted on taking Princess Wen Yi back.

"Your Highness, Concubine Cao refused and said that if Your Highness wants to take the princess back, she must get the Emperor's order."

Songzhi couldn't hide it any longer, so she told everyone what Concubine Cao had done. "Not long after the queen left, Concubine Cao went to ask the emperor to take Princess Wen Yi back to Qixiang Palace.

The emperor not only agreed, but also asked me and Zhou Ninghai to serve him. So..."

"Now you will use the emperor to pressure me."

Nian Guiren laughed angrily. She was no longer in a hurry to take Wen Yi back.

When the emperor comes to Yikun Palace to rest at night, it will only take a word to bring Wen Yi back.

"Forget it, let's clean up properly. I will return to the palace today, and the emperor will definitely come to Yikun Palace to rest.

Tell the kitchen to prepare some dishes that the emperor likes. I will personally supervise it later."

Seeing that she didn't need to go to Concubine Cao and face the cold face, Songzhi finally felt relieved. She didn't dare to hesitate at all and immediately ran to the kitchen.

But now that Nian Shilan has become a noble lady, there are no palace servants serving her in the small kitchen, let alone preparing the emperor's favorite dishes.

But since the queen had given the order, Songzhi had to do it, so she had to go back to her residence, take out all the silver, and run to the imperial kitchen to make arrangements.

It’s a pity that the imperial kitchen is used to serving different dishes to different people. Now that the Nian family has fallen and Noble Nian has lost his power, no one will give face to Songzhi.

Songzhi spent all her money, even taking off the bracelets on her hands, before she prepared a table of food that the emperor would like.

Songzhi took great pains to arrange everything and stayed with Concubine Nian in the palace waiting for the emperor to arrive.

But until the imperial meal sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs had become cold, the emperor showed no intention of visiting the Yikun Palace.

Noble Lady Nian and others were angry and sent Songzhi out to inquire many times, but they could not get any news that the emperor was coming.

"My lady, I'm afraid the Emperor is still busy with government affairs. Why don't I go to the Yangxin Palace and invite the Emperor over?"

"Forget it, just accompany me. The emperor is very busy with government affairs, and as a concubine, you have to be considerate."

When Songzhi heard that the Empress was going to the Yangxin Palace, she wanted to stop her.

After all, the sedan chair used by the imperial concubine was also taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the empress wanted to travel, she could only rely on herself and walk step by step to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"What does that look on your face mean? Could it be that the emperor went to some bitch's palace and you don't dare to tell me?"

Songzhi shook her head. Once her mother decided to do something, almost no one could stop her.

Helplessly, she helped Concubine Nian out of the door, anxiously waiting for the next reprimand.

"Where did General Nian come from? The Emperor has already demoted him. Our lady is just a minor noble.

Nian Guiren is now not even as good as Concubine An in Chengqian Palace."

As soon as the two stepped out of the main hall, they heard a familiar voice saying that the emperor had begun to settle accounts with their family in recent years.

Songzhi immediately wanted to help Concubine Nian go back, but her arm was held tightly.

Noble Nian's face was pale, and he looked as if he would fall down if the wind blew. "Is what she said true? My brother... was demoted?!"

"Your Highness...Your Highness, this is just nonsense from that maid. Someone must have known that you were returning to the palace today and wanted to use this method to cause you to have a miscarriage."

Songzhi reacted quickly. She held Concubine Nian's arms with both hands and, ignoring her questions, helped Concubine Nian back to the main hall steadily.

"I will go and catch that girl right away. Your Majesty, don't worry. For a servant who talks nonsense like this, it would not be too much to pull out her tongue."

Nian Shilan was frightened by Songzhi for a moment. She tried hard to calm down her panic, but inexplicably felt that what the girl said was true.

No, it's impossible. My brother has devoted himself to the emperor and made great contributions. The emperor would never do this. It must be that girl who is talking nonsense.

Although she was comforting herself in this way in her heart, Nian Shilan couldn't stop the tears on her face. She held her stomach, collapsed in the chair and began to moan in pain.

"Come, someone come..."

Nian Shilan called out weakly, her stomach ached and even her mind was a little confused.

When Songzhi brought the girl into the room, she saw Nian Shilan half lying on a chair, with some blood on the hem of her skirt.

"Empress!" Songzhi didn't care about the gossiping girl, and almost crawled to Noble Lady Nian and helped her up.

"Lingzhi! Lingzhi!" Songzhi shouted Lingzhi's name loudly, "And you, don't just kneel there like an idiot, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Doctor Jiang over right away!"
