An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 176 Undecided

"Nian Shilan has become idiotic now." After all, Nian Shilan had accompanied the emperor for a long time, and the emperor always felt a little reluctant. "If I punish her again, I am afraid it will be too harsh and will chill the hearts of the Nian family."

Zhen Huan's heart was completely broken at this moment. She usually thought that as long as the emperor's heart was with her, it would be enough. Even if he favored someone else, it was something the emperor had to do for the sake of the country.

Now that his father has begun to help liquidate the Nian family, the emperor has no reason to keep Nian Shilan, but now he is still reluctant to let her go. Could it be...

No, it's impossible. How could I be inferior to that vicious person like Nian Shilan?

That vicious woman was older than himself, but she only thought about favors all day long and could not help the emperor like himself.

She even felt that the queen was not as good as her, and fantasized about the queen making some big mistake so that she could replace her.

But Nian Shilan completely forgot that the heinous crimes she had committed made her unworthy of the throne of queen.

No, she didn't even deserve to be alive.

"Your Majesty... Nian Ying's crimes are too numerous to list. If you let her go like this, how can you appease the concubines in the harem?"

Zhen Huan wiped her tears and softly comforted the emperor, "My life is fine, but now Doctor Wen has snatched it back from the King of Hell.

But Nian agreed to sell official positions and titles, which harmed the officials of the previous dynasty and the common people.

Your Majesty, what is the fault of the loyal officials and the people? "

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, the Emperor couldn't help but be moved.

The people of the world are so innocent, but the entire government and the country are in turmoil because of the Nian family.

In the harem, Nian Shilan relied on the power of the Nian family to bully concubines and murder their offspring.

Now he is stupid and idiotic, I am afraid it is a punishment from God.

"Huanhuan..."

The emperor sighed. Although he no longer felt the same attraction to Zhen Huan as before, he still liked the face that looked like Rouze.

Even though Zhen Huan did many wrong things, people couldn't bear to send her to the cold palace because of her appearance and talent.

I can only visit her from time to time to temporarily ease the pain of missing Rouze.

However, this girl from the Zhen family had impure thoughts and a dissolute personality, and her entanglement with Prince Guo had left a mark on the emperor's mind to this day.

I would feel a sting from time to time and feel extremely sick.

"Your Majesty...I am not trying to force you."

Zhen Huan also knew that she couldn't push the emperor too hard. If she kept emphasizing the need to kill Nian Shilan, it would make the emperor hesitate and unable to make a decision sooner.

"I was also angry and almost had my life killed.

If she couldn't see Silang again, Huanhuan would be reluctant to leave even on the Naihe Bridge.

When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world, Silang..."

Moved by these words, the emperor held Zhen Huan's hand and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I understand. Take good care of yourself."

Zhen Huan finally got the emperor's approval. She was so happy that she stopped crying loudly. She just sobbed occasionally and was unwilling to let the emperor leave.

The emperor took the opportunity to hug Zhen Huan in his arms and gently patted her back with his hands.

"Silang, please hold me like this, okay?"

Seeing the atmosphere between the two becoming increasingly ambiguous, Wen Shichu couldn't bear it any longer. He bowed and retreated quietly.

In the main hall, the Queen and others had already left, leaving only Huanbi to clean up the mess.

"The young master is out of danger now, but he needs to drink the antidote for a few more days."

Wen Shichu wrote down the matters that needed to be paid attention to when boiling the medicine. When he handed the paper to Huanbi, Huanbi belatedly asked, "What happened? Is the young lady really... poisoned?"

"Yes, you have to pay attention. This was originally a trap set by the young master, but how come he was tricked into taking advantage of the situation?

There must be more than one person who betrayed the master in Yongshou Palace. We must investigate thoroughly."

"I understand." Huanbi put the paper away. Her heart began to beat wildly. "How is the young lady now? Did the poison have any effect on her body?"

"It's all right now. You just need to take the medicine on time and rest well. You'll be back to normal soon."

Huanbi nodded, she looked into the inner room, hesitating whether to go in to visit the young lady.

"Xu Chang is talking to the Emperor, Miss Huanbi, why don't you go and make some medicine.

Regarding the poison of strychnine, I will go back to the Imperial Hospital and talk to the other imperial doctors about it."

Wen Shichu was still a little worried that the strychnine would leave some bad symptoms on Sister Huan's body.

He thought about going to see Doctor He to get more information.

Huanbi also knew that the young lady could take this opportunity to deepen her relationship with the emperor, and also find a way to convict and eliminate Nian Shilan.

Therefore, before going to get the medicine, Huanbi specifically instructed the people in Yongshou Palace not to disturb the young lady's rest.

However, now the only people serving in Yongshou Palace are Xiao Li and Tang Di.

These two people have their own masters behind the scenes, so how could they sincerely serve Zhen Huan?

Since Huanbi had given the order, the two of them were happy to be at ease, so as to avoid having to go in front of Zhen Huan and get scolded for doing something wrong.

But today Xu Changzai failed to die from the poison, and these two people also felt it was a pity.

If Xu Changzai could die, these servants would be able to find another wise master and would no longer have to be tortured by Xu Changzai and Huanbi.

Especially Tang Di, her unhappiness was almost written on her face.

Xiao Shi and Xu Chang set up a trap to execute Nian. When Ling Rong found out, she took advantage of the situation and told Concubine Tian about it.

At the same time, he also instructed Tang Di to increase the dosage of the poison after Xiao Li gave it to him, and to make sure that Zhen Huan died.

But I don’t know if Zhen Huan was protected by a god, but such a large dose was able to save her life.

Tang Di regretted it very much. He should have asked for another dose of strychnine poison. Even if double the dose was not fatal, triple or ten times should be enough.

It's a pity that this is the only chance. No matter how much Tang Di regrets, he can only hold his breath and plan to poison the damn Xu Changzai again one day.

But this plan failed, and Tang Di didn't know how to explain to Ling Rong.

Even when they met in the Imperial Garden at night, she was still dejected, worried that Lingrong would scold her for this.

Unexpectedly, Lingrong was not angry because the task was not accomplished. Instead, she smiled and comforted Tangdi.

“She’s lucky, it’s not because you and I weren’t prepared.

After all, if too much poison is added, the taste of the tea will change. If that happens, she won't even be able to suffer the pain she is experiencing today."

Fortunately, the whole matter had been pinned on Xiao Shi, so Ling Rong wasn't too worried at this point.

Even if Zhen Huan found out that there was another person involved, it would be difficult to suspect Tang Di.

After all, Tang Di is no longer responsible for Xu Changzai's meals and snacks, so how could he have the chance to come into contact with her?

Even if there are doubts, we should suspect Xiao Li, the one who actually did it and was responsible for boiling water and making tea.

"This time, Xu Changzai specifically asked Xiao Shi to make tea in order to set up the trap.

It’s just that Xiao Shi hated Xu Changzai, so she listened to Xiao Li’s instigation and used the water that had been left for several days to make tea.”

"The water was actually soaked with strychnine, right?" Ling Rong guessed, "And then you put strychnine in the water as well, but you didn't expect it to be not toxic enough."

Tang Di nodded, and she squatted down again to apologize to Ling Rong, "It was because of my incompetence and my cleverness that the young lady's important task failed to be accomplished.

Please, please punish me, young master."

"I've told you it's okay, why do you still care so much?" Lingrong waved her hand, motioning Zhaoshui to help Tangdi up.

"You took a risk to help me, so how could I blame you?

Besides, I promised to transfer you out of Yongshou Palace. Now I haven't figured out how to do it, so I won't blame you if I think of you."

Tang Di shook his head. This time he plotted to murder Xu Changzai out of selfish motives, wanting to seek justice for himself. If he left immediately, he would never have another chance.

Tang Di was completely blinded by revenge at this time, especially since she was only one step away from killing Zhen Huan. She just thought that she would succeed next time and make Zhen Huan and Huan Bi pay the price together.

At this moment, she even felt that it was a good thing that Ling Rong had not thought of a way to transfer her away. Perhaps it was God's will that she had to avenge herself with her own hands.

"My lady, I do not want to leave Yongshou Palace at this moment."

"Why? Xu Changzai and Huanbi often bully you. It's a good thing to leave early."

Ling Rong was indeed a little surprised. Before she came, she was still thinking about how she would convince Tang Di to stay if he was in a hurry to leave Yongshou Palace.

After all, it couldn't be more convenient to have a nail buried in the enemy's place. How could she give up this opportunity and let Tang Di go so easily?

But unexpectedly, Tang Di was not in a hurry to leave. Maybe it was because she was out of the difficult environment in Baohua Palace and no longer had to suffer as before, but she suddenly felt that she could endure it by staying with Zhen Huan.

"Please believe me, my lady. My hatred for them is growing day by day. I don't want to see them living such a good life."

This little palace maid is quite like herself sometimes. Ling Rong thought to herself that she is just as petty and vindictive.

It seems that we can really use her to do more things and help Zhen Huan face her inner self.

I really don’t know whether Zhen Huan likes the Emperor or Prince Guo?

"Then you can..." Lingrong whispered in Tangdi's ear and taught Tangdi the task of instigation that Baojuan was best at in the past.

Tell her to learn to guide Huanbi and think about her future. Whether becoming the emperor's concubine or marrying into Prince Guo's palace, it is better than leaving the palace at the age of 25 and being betrothed to an ordinary citizen.

"Remember, treat Huanbi as Xu Changzai's younger sister, and compare and instigate her in everything.

Doing these things is sometimes more effective than directly poisoning people."

Tang Di seemed to understand, but she nodded slowly, and she really listened. As for what it would turn out to be, it was unknown.

"Well, it's late at night and hot, let's go back to Yongshou Palace early and don't let anyone find out."

"Your servant bids farewell to the young lady." Tang Di did not stay long. She pondered over Ling Rong's words in her mind, bowed slightly and left first.

Zhaoshui followed Lingrong and walked slowly in the moonlight, "My lady, I'm afraid that Xu Chang will become the number one person in the harem again this time."

"So what? Once she gets this title, she is doomed to never be as favored as before." Ling Rong kept repeating the word "Xu". Even if she didn't understand poetry or books, she understood the meaning of "lifelike".

Lifelike, like a living being. But it was just a resemblance. The emperor could already distinguish Zhen Huan from Queen Chun Yuan unconsciously, and completely regarded Zhen Huan as a substitute for Chun Yuan.

This title is much more ironic than the word "Guangzhou".

"Xu Chang is with her. In the emperor's heart, she is no longer worthy of the name Wan."

Zhaoshui didn't know the meaning of the word "wan", so she responded to Lingrong in a daze, "Could it be that the emperor is annoyed by Concubine Xu's smile?"

Ling Rong was amused by Zhao Shui. She patted Zhao Shui's hand and said, "How could it be? Your Majesty thinks Zhen's smile is very beautiful."

“But I don’t think so, especially after returning to Yongshou Palace from Baohua Palace.

I always feel that when Concubine Zhen smiles, she is not gentle at all, but rather sinister, which makes people feel uneasy. "

"You."

Lingrong felt that compared with Zhen Huan, she was the sinister one.

In her previous life, Zhen Huan was surrounded by countless sisters and loyal servants, but she was nothing like him. In the end, the only one who sent her to the underworld was Zhen Huan, her lifelong enemy.

Even in this life, even though Zhen Huan's loyal servants and sisters were scattered because of me, I still secretly envy her, jealous of her, and even... hate her.

It's true. People will be carried away by memories. Even if they tell themselves countless times not to be trapped by the cause and effect of past lives, they will still think of them from time to time.

"Young Master, Young Master?" Zhaoshui called Lingrong softly, "If Nian agrees... can you still keep your life?"

"Xu Changzai will not let her live, even if Nian Da Ying has become mad.

But we have to do something very important before Nian agrees to be executed."

This matter is about Wen Yi. No matter what, Lingrong wants to find an opportunity to do Cao Qinmo a favor.

Ling Rong had planned to invite the emperor to Chengqian Palace the next day, but she did not expect that the emperor, who was struggling over whether to sentence Nian Dan to death, would come to Chengqian Palace first.

This is good, so that the emperor won’t think that I am forming cliques in the harem and having ill intentions.

"Rong'er, there is one thing I am undecided about, and I would like to ask for your opinion."

Ling Rong poured a cup of tea for the emperor. She did not play dumb at this time, but directly mentioned Nian Yingda, "Is it because of Nian Yingda that the emperor instigated Xiao Shi to murder Xu Changzai?"

The emperor nodded slightly. He had no intention of drinking tea at all. He counted the beads in his hand anxiously, "Everyone is talking about Nian Ying's faults and asking me to punish her, punish her and kill her."

Lingrong finally realized that the emperor did have murderous intentions towards Nian Shilan.

It's just that when he reached the age of forty, he developed some of the rebellious nature of his youth and wanted to go against everyone.

"I don't have much contact with Nian, and there are occasionally one or two verbal conflicts, which are also minor matters."

Ling Rong spoke carefully, for she was afraid of angering the Emperor and losing her newly-crowned concubine position.

“I know that Your Majesty is a sentimental person, which is why he was so conflicted just now, but I can’t help Your Majesty make this decision.

But as Youning's mother, I only hope that no matter what decision the emperor makes, he can ask Wen Yi to return to Concubine Cao and be well taken care of."
