An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

It was well known that Concubine Tian had a sharp tongue, but she was not very smart, so no one took her sarcasm to heart.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would know to strike back at her by picking on the things she doesn't like now.

But there are very few people like Shen Meizhuang, who constantly hurts Concubine Tian with the incident of losing her son.

After all, this would only bring more vicious curses and sarcasm from Concubine Tian, ​​and who would be willing to waste time arguing with her about this matter?

“Noble Lady Tian is really interesting. She didn’t blame the culprit for the loss of her child, but chose to compete with me in the Queen’s palace.

Could it be that Lady Tian is really a bully who only knows how to ridicule innocent people? "

It is completely useless to respond to Concubine Tian with such things.

Ling Rong was enjoying the scene from the side. She looked around from time to time and whispered with Xia Dongchun in private, trying to figure out when the two would stop arguing.

After all, she still wanted to go to Shen Meizhuang and talk to her about Xiao Shi.

This is a good opportunity to continue to divide Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan. How can I let it go?

As for Xia Dongchun, he was used to waiting for Concubine Tian. After all, life was not bad following Concubine Tian, ​​and he could even get some benefits occasionally.

She only needs to use her mouth to help Concubine Tian investigate a person or a matter. Her life is so easy.

The only bad thing is that I am not favored by anyone. My family is urging me to give birth to an heir as soon as possible, which is really annoying.

If the emperor doesn't come to my palace, is it possible to tie him up and bring him here?

Xia Dongchun was still struggling with this. The quarrel between Concubine Tian and Concubine Hui had already come to an end. She was about to grab Lingrong to say a few words, but Lingrong had already turned and left.

Xia Dongchun stamped her feet, planning to go find Lingrong later to see if she could do her a favor and find a way to gain the emperor's favor.

As for Ling Rong, she originally wanted to chat with Shen Meiyu, so she quickened her pace and caught up with Shen Meiyu and her group.

"Lady Hui."

"I pay my respects to Concubine An. May the queen be blessed with good health." Shen Meizhuang was very strict in observing etiquette. She stopped as soon as she heard Ling Rong calling her, "Concubine An, why did you stop me? Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Although I am a concubine, I cannot be called Your Majesty." Ling Rong smiled and called out, "Just call me Sister An like before."

Shen Meizhuang nodded. She knew that An Lingrong's intentions were not pure when she called her. She was probably trying to sow discord between them.

In order not to be fooled, she could only be alert and respond, "Sister An, what's the matter?"

"I thought since we were already out, I would go for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

Since my sister and I were on the same route back to Xianfu Palace, I just wanted to chat with her."

Shen Meizhuang nodded, "Since we came back from the Old Summer Palace, you and I haven't had a private chat like this before."

"What happened in the garden was beyond my expectation. Apart from sending some supplements to my sister, I don't know how to persuade her."

In fact, it was Lingrong who deliberately distanced herself from Shen Meizhuang. After all, although Shen Meizhuang was smart, she only used her brain on Zhen Huan. If she interacted too closely with her, she would not gain anything.

Even her relationship with Wen Shichu would only bring trouble to herself.

"My sister was right not to persuade me. Now that things have come to this, I don't want to say too much."

Shen Meizhuang didn't mind this matter. After all, Zhen Huan, as her best sister, could betray her and be so cruel.

How could An Lingrong, a so-called sister whom she met in the palace, treat her sincerely?

"Zhen Changzai was poisoned by Nian and almost lost her life. She can now pay for some of the crimes she committed."

"Sister An," Shen Meizhuang's face turned cold, and even her tone was a little impatient, "I don't want to talk about her anymore. If you want to chat with me, please change the subject."

Wow, I didn't expect Shen Meizhuang to be so sensitive. Could it be that she was really involved in Zhen Huan's poisoning?

After all, that Xiao Shi once served in Xianfu Palace. Who knows if he is still Shen Meizhuang's person now.

"It's my sister's fault," Ling Rong said apologetically, as if she was speaking casually, "I was just thinking that among those who were beaten to death, there was a man called Xiao Shi, who seemed to have served in your palace.

Therefore, I said a few more words, please don’t blame me, sister.”

When Xiao Shi's name was mentioned, Shen Meizhuang's expression changed slightly, but she still didn't want to say much and just nodded.

"As long as Xu Chang is here and doesn't get suspicious, it will be fine. This will also prevent my sister from arguing with her again."

Hearing Zhen Huan's name, Shen Meizhuang wanted to continue to rage, but Ling Rong's next words made her think more.

Yes, Xiao Shi used to serve in Cunju Hall. Lingrong knew it, and Zhen Huan must know it too.

If she felt that she was the one who ordered Xiao Shi to do the poisoning and framed Nian Da Ying, wouldn't she have to face her revenge again?

The astronomical phenomenon had already seriously damaged my vitality. If it happened again, I didn’t know if I could save my life.

Now even Wen Shichu has returned to her service. She does not have another capable imperial physician in the palace. It seems it is time to ask her family for help.

Thinking of this, Shen Meizhuang felt a little nauseous for some reason. She dry-heaved a few times and finally managed to hold back the nausea.

Ling Rong stood aside and watched her. She felt that Shen Meizhuang seemed to be pregnant. After all, this inexplicable feeling of nausea was too similar to morning sickness.

"Sister, what's wrong? You're not feeling well." Lingrong put on a concerned smile. She asked Zhaoshui and Caixing to help Shen Meizhuang sit in the pavilion. "When we get back to Xianfu Palace, let's ask the imperial physician to check your pulse."

"Nothing, I guess I ate something bad today, so I feel a little sick."

Shen Meizhuang also had a vague guess in her heart. She was a little happy and a little flustered at this moment. If she was really pregnant, how could she make the emperor confirm that the child was his.

After all, the emperor hasn't been to Xianfu Palace for a long time. If she were pregnant at this time, the emperor would definitely be suspicious.

As for being happy... Shen Meizhuang touched her belly inconspicuously, where Shi Chu's child was.

This is the child of myself and the one I love. I must find a way to keep him. He and the child will be with me day by day in the future.

"Sister, Sister Shen?" Lingrong had been paying attention to Shen Meizhuang, so she could naturally see her stroking her belly.

Sure enough, Shen Meizhuang was still as bold as she was in her previous life. She had physical contact with Wen Shichu and even had a child with him.

This dignified and elegant lady can really surprise people when she does things.

"What's wrong, Sister An?"

Shen Meizhuang pretended to be calm, but she was already panicking in her heart. If An Lingrong found out that she was carrying Shichu's child, she would probably...

"Sister does seem to be feeling unwell. I think it's because the weather is getting hotter and Sister Mei has caught the heat."

After all, Ling Rong had no way of knowing whether Shen Meizhuang was pregnant or not. She had asked Zhaoshui to help Shen Meizhuang sit down just now so that Zhaoshui could take Shen Meizhuang's pulse.

She glanced at Zhaoshui, who understood and nodded quietly.

"Cai Xing, remember to cook a bowl of mung bean soup for your sister. It is the best to clear away heat and relieve summer heat."

"Yes, Concubine An." Cai Xing bowed obediently. She helped Shen Meiyu up and slowly left amid Ling Rong's concerned words.

Only after their figures completely disappeared did Ling Rong speak, "How is it, is Concubine Hui pregnant?"

"It's almost right." Zhaoshui didn't dare to be careless. After all, she had just started learning medicine. If she took the pulse wrong, it would be terrible if it ruined the young lady's life.

"This Concubine Hui hasn't been in bed with me much since she came back from the Old Summer Palace.

The emperor occasionally went to her place, and she just found an excuse to push the emperor to Concubine Jing.

Zhaoshui, who do you think the child of Concubine Hui belongs to?"

Zhaoshui had already learned from the young lady about the relationship between Concubine Hui and Imperial Doctor Wen, but he never imagined that the two of them would actually cross the line like this.

"My lady, Miss Hui is really too bold. She seems to be a self-disciplined and polite person on weekdays, but I didn't expect that she is so indulgent in private."

Ling Rong glanced at Zhao Shui. She agreed with Zhao Shui's evaluation of Shen Mei Zhuang. "Then what do you think of the emperor's three wives and four concubines?"

"My lady, if the emperor or other men have three wives and four concubines, at least they have gone through a fair process and each of them has a status.

But what Concubine Hui is doing is just an affair, without any name or status, what's the difference between her and those shameless men who keep mistresses."

Zhaoshui saw it clearly, and she made no secret of her confusion about Hui Guiren's behavior, "Those men with wives, who doesn't know that keeping a mistress and visiting brothels is wrong, but they just like to do it secretly."

"You're right. If Concubine Hui had not been a concubine and was still the eldest daughter of the Shen family, no one would say anything if she had eight or ten male lovers.

But she had already become the Emperor's Concubine Hui, and if she did these things again, she would really lose her status and ruin her moral character.

No matter which dynasty it was placed in, it would not be accepted by the world.”

Lingrong certainly knew that Shen Meizhuang no longer had any feelings for the emperor, but it was a pity that she was in the harem and could not divorce the emperor.

"If the emperor knew about this, I'm afraid even the Shen family..."

"That's her Shen Meizhuang's family, not ours. There's no need for us to help her."

Shen Meizhuang has come to this point today step by step. She cannot blame anyone else but herself for trusting Zhen Huan too much.

However, Ling Rong still needs to think carefully about whether or not to reveal her affair with Wen Shichu in this life.

This is no small matter, it must be exchanged for greater benefits.

"My lord, we..."

"Just pretend you don't know. Concubine Hui will definitely try her best to keep the child. I'm sure she will find a way to restore her favor in the next few days."

Ling Rong's guess was correct. Shen Meizhuang hurriedly called Wen Shichu over to take her pulse that day and confirmed that she was pregnant.

However, the symptoms of morning sickness were not caused by pregnancy, but by the summer heat.

All we can say is that it was destined that the dirty deeds of Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu would be discovered.

However, Wen Shichu was caught in a dilemma. On one side was his sister Huan who was poisoned by strychnine, and on the other side was Concubine Huihui who was pregnant with his child.

He was the only one who knew which person would be the best to treat the patient.

But it was obvious that Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy could not be discovered by anyone else. If she was to be taken care of by other imperial doctors, they would have to wait until the emperor had visited Concubine Hui.

Wen Shichu gritted his teeth and took the initiative to decline the responsibility of taking care of her from Xu Changzai, and recommended the reliable Wei Lin to her to be responsible for the subsequent detoxification and conditioning.

However, Xu Chang had just been poisoned and refused to believe any other doctor.

But she couldn't directly try to keep Doctor Wen, so she pretended to be in a dilemma, saying that she could only trust Brother Shichu, while at the same time persuading him not to take care of his health.

Wen Shichu had always been deeply in love with Zhen Huan, and now seeing her suppressing her fear for his sake, his heart was already in turmoil.

One is the woman with whom he had physical intimacy and who was even pregnant with his child, and the other is his younger sister Huan, whom he fell in love with at a young age and was willing to remain single for the rest of his life.

Wen Shichu had no way to choose between the two of them at the moment, so he had to choose both of them, which made him suffer from running around in the harem every day.

But although he was physically tired, Wen Shichu was very happy in his heart and read medical books more enthusiastically than usual.

When Wei Lin privately told Ling Rong about what happened at the Imperial Hospital, he felt that Doctor Wen had been becoming more and more outrageous recently.

On weekdays, he would only stand guard according to the shift schedule and rarely took the initiative to ask for an increase in the number of days he was on duty, which resulted in a sharp drop in the number of days that Doctor He and Wei Lin himself were on duty.

Not having to be on duty is naturally a good thing, but Wei Lin doesn't know why Doctor Wen is like this, and he is so anxious that he is scratching his head.

Ling Rong, on the other hand, was not curious about the reason behind this. After listening to Wei Lin's report, she simply ordered Zhao Shui to deliver the reward with a calm expression.

Not long after Wei Lin left, the emperor's decree came down, promising Nian that she would murder Xu Changzai and Duan Fei, and now she had been demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace.

However, considering that she was now mentally retarded, she was allowed to stay in Yikun Palace. Except for Songzhi, all other servants were sent to the laundry department to wash clothes.

As for the maids in Concubine Duan's palace, the emperor ordered them to return to the Imperial Household Department. After a month of training, they would be assigned to the various palaces according to the rules.

The emperor issued the decree very quickly this time, without any sign of concern for the Nian family as he had in the past.

It's just that General Nian was still alive, and he learned that his sister had been demoted to a commoner and even sent to the cold palace.

They immediately started making a fuss and threatened to rush back to the Forbidden City to demand an explanation from the emperor.

If Yue Zhongqi had not persuaded him, Nian Gengyao might have rebelled immediately for Nian Shilan.

A few days later, Nian Gengyao's memorial to Concubine Hua about her well-being was delivered to the Yangxin Palace.

In his memorial, Nian Gengyao listed his own merits and criticized the emperor for treating loyal ministers and generals in this way. Not only was he demoted from his official position, but his daughter was also made a commoner.

"When the birds are all gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked." The emperor closed the memorial with a loud bang and threw it on the table with a loud clatter.

Su Peisheng was so frightened that he trembled. The emperor had rarely been so angry since he ascended the throne. It seemed that General Nian was really in danger this time.

"Nian Gengyao, you are really brave to write this."
