An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Zhen Huan naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with what Huanbi said.

It's just that if Sister Mei asked me for help, it would be fine, but telling others about such private matters without her permission is not what a gentleman should do.

"Lady Hui, like the young lady, has long been tired and bored with this deep palace.

Anyway, we are asking Lord Shen for help, so it doesn't matter who says it."

"Huanbi." Zhen Huan stopped Huanbi from continuing to speak without thinking, "If I tell Lord Shen about this, my father will certainly be implicated.

If it was just me, it would be fine, but the dozens of people in the Zhen family should not be implicated by the wrongdoings of Concubine Hui. "

As soon as her father was mentioned, Huanbi's momentum weakened. Even though she was a slave now, Zhen Yuandao was indeed her father. How could she ignore her father and stubbornly help Concubine Hui?

"In this case... don't we have to wait for Concubine Hui to come up with a solution?"

Huanbi was a little anxious. She didn't know what kind of situation Shen Meizhuang was facing now, so she could only speculate, "My lady, is it possible that... Concubine Hui didn't dare to gamble with her life and the lives of her entire family?

She would rather try her best to hide it from the emperor than tell Lord Shen about it."

Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan shook her head. She knew Shen Meizhuang best, and once this person made a decision, she would never change it.

The reason she hasn't been able to do it yet is probably because she hasn't had the right opportunity to do it.

After all, delivering letters could easily give people a handle. Disclosing it privately was not possible because of the emperor's favor.

Unless Wen Shichu goes to Lord Shen and confesses on her own, the only way left is for me to help her confess.

But the question is...is Wen Shichu willing to take the risk?

In Wen Shichu's heart, is life and future more important, or is Shen Meizhuang's wishes more important?

Wen Shichu would probably choose the latter, Zhen Huan thought silently. After all, if that thing succeeded, he would not only be able to be his imperial physician, but he could also live happily with Shen Meiyu.

How could he not choose this good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

The only solution now is to comfort Shen Meizhuang and ask her to agree to let Wen Shichu go find Lord Shen.

After thinking of a solution, Zhen Huan's panicked heart calmed down. She pinched her brows and began to think about how to take Huanbi out of the palace.

No matter what, she is still his sister, and he cannot leave her in this deep palace to continue suffering.

However, Huanbi was not a concubine, and if her death was faked, she would most likely be thrown into a mass grave in the wilderness.

If you are not careful, you will be killed by wild beasts and there will be no way to save you.

Zhen Huan raised her eyes to look at Huanbi. She was happily talking about her life after leaving the palace, and she didn't have any worries about not being able to accomplish that thing.

Perhaps because of herself, in Huanbi's heart, she felt that the rebellion would definitely succeed and there would not be any mistakes.

But the problem is, if it really succeeded, Huanbi wouldn't need to fake her death and would be able to leave the palace with him smoothly.

But if she failed, Huanbi would have to stay in the palace and there was no way she could be secretly transported out of the palace like herself.

It seems that I can only discuss it with Prince Guo again. If an accident occurs, I will ask people to guard the mass grave so that Huanbi can be rescued in time.

I'm afraid that there might be some changes and Huanbi's fake death will become real death.

Zhen Huan couldn't help but sigh. She looked at Huanbi, with a complicated and strange look in her eyes.

Huanbi raised her eyes unconsciously. She saw that Zhen Huan looked unwell and thought she was unwell. "My lady, are you feeling unwell? You look very pale."

Zhen Huan shook her head. She did not express her worries. She still had to consult Prince Guo about the matter. Telling Huanbi at this time would only scare her.

If any trouble arises again, it will do more harm than good to their plans.

"My lady, you haven't taken today's medicine yet."

Now Zhen Huan doesn't trust anyone, and all her medicines and meals are taken care of by Huanbi.

However, Huanbi was not so suspicious of Tangdi and others, and still let them help her, but not in front of the young lady.

Tangdi handed the medicine to Huanbi and went downstairs quietly.

Huanbi stood outside and waited for a while before bringing the medicine in.

"These medicines are for conditioning the body. Doctor Wen said that if you take them for a long time, there will be some benefits.

My dear, please use some."

Ever since her body was ruined, Zhen Huan has been drinking this bitter medicine all day long. Although she doesn't want to leave any offspring for the emperor, she still wants to have a child of her own in the future.

Therefore, no matter how bitter the medicine was or how slow it took to take effect, she would drink it all up.

After drinking a bowl of bitter medicine, Zhen Huan instructed Huanbi to find a way to pass the message to Prince Guo.

When Huanbi heard that the message was for Prince Guo, her face was filled with joy. She happily packed up the lacquer tray, "Prince Guo has been touring the Fuhai Lake for a while. I guess he is waiting for news from the young lady."

Although Zhen Huan didn't like Prince Guo that much, her face turned red when she was teased by Huanbi. She scolded Huanbi and told her not to talk nonsense.

"You dare to say anything you want? Be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall, or someone will hear you."

Compared with the emperor, Huanbi has a better impression of Prince Guo.

He was young, handsome, even talented, and treated me very gently and politely.

Huanbi's face turned red as she thought about this. "My lady...my lady, would you like to write a letter and ask me to take it to Prince Guo?"

Zhen Huan nodded. She wrote down everything about Shen Meizhuang and Huanbi and sealed it in an envelope. "Remember, this letter must be delivered to Prince Guo in person. It cannot be passed on by a third person, not even Prince Guo's personal servant."

Seeing Zhen Huan's seriousness, Huanbi nodded. She put the letter in her arms, but did not go to Fuhai immediately. Instead, she returned to her residence and put on makeup to dress up.

"Sister Huanbi is already so beautiful, why does she still need to put on lip balm?"

Tang Di had been paying attention to the movements of the master and servant. When he saw Huanbi putting on makeup, he felt something was wrong.

"What do you know? This is called a woman dressing up to please herself."

Huanbi rolled her eyes slightly. She was indeed born beautiful, and even after dressing up like this, she was still as beautiful as ever.

It's just that with her green dress and pink flower on her head, she doesn't look as fresh and refined as the lotus in the water, but rather a bit tacky.

"Sister Huanbi," Tang Di came forward and picked up a jade hairpin of good quality on the table and replaced the bright pink flower with it, "This will make you look more refreshing and charming."

Huanbi looked at herself in the mirror, but still wanted to wear the pink flower.

"If you want to wear it, you might as well wear one with a lighter color. It will match your green outfit better."

Huanbi looked at the two flowers and finally agreed with Tangdi. After all, Prince Guo liked green, and if she wore this dress, maybe he would like her more.

"Sister Huanbi and the young lady look alike. Their temperaments are just like sisters."

Tang Di put the flower in Huanbi's hairpin. The candlelight flickered and the shadows were dim. Her eyes and eyebrows did look somewhat similar to Zhen Huan.

Huanbi snorted softly, muttering to herself that she was the young master's biological sister. They had the same father, so how could they not be similar?

"Okay, you are no longer needed here, go and serve the young master well."

Huanbi pressed the flower on her head again, shook her handkerchief and prepared to leave for Fuhai.

"Where are you going so late, sister?"

"Is this something you should be asking about?" Huanbi always felt that Tangdi was trying to find out her whereabouts, so she was cautious and didn't tell the truth. "Be good and serve the master. If I hear you asking around again, I'll beat your mouth."

"Yes, Sister Huanbi." Tang Di couldn't help but shrink. She raised her hand and touched the corner of her mouth. "The young master only trusts Sister Huanbi and refused to let me serve her personally, so... so..."

"I know, I'll be back in a minute," Huanbi was in a good mood and patiently reminded him, "Just stand guard at the door and don't go in."

"I understand, Sister Huanbi." Tangdi nodded and watched Huanbi leave with a swaying step.

Tang Di thought about it for a while, and still felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Huanbi to go out dressed up like this, so he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and quietly followed Huanbi.

After the two walked for a while, Tang Di realized that Huanbi was heading towards Fu Hai.

It was already dark, and he was still going to the vicinity of Fuhai. Could he be having a secret meeting with someone?

The more Tang Di thought about it, the more she felt it was right, but she couldn't let this happen, so she decided to go to Shuimu Mingse and tell Concubine An the news.

It was night again and it was Fuhai Lake. Lingrong thought of what Xiaochizi saw by the shore of Fuhai Lake last time, and immediately guessed that Huanbi was tipping off Prince Guo.

It so happened that the emperor also wanted to rest in Shuimu Mingse today, so Lingrong begged the emperor to accompany her on a night cruise on Fuhai Lake, saying that she had prepared a new song that would be perfect to listen to while enjoying the breeze on the sea.

Thinking of Lingrong's voice which was exactly the same as Chunyuan's when she sang as a child, the emperor immediately agreed. The two of them went to Fuhai Ferry hand in hand, but found that there were no boats stopping there.

After asking the guards, I learned that Prince Guo has been boating in Fuhai these days. The same is true tonight, and the boat is occupied by Prince Guo.

The emperor had previously ordered that Prince Guo was not allowed to come and go as he pleased. But since he married Meng Jingxian as his wife, he was no longer restricted as before.

But unexpectedly, he became bolder and wandered around the garden all day long, refusing to relax for even a single day.

"Your Majesty... we can't go tonight, let's go tomorrow."

Lingrong knew the time was just right, as Huanbi was still on the ferry.

In order to avoid the emperor suspecting that he had deliberately lured him here, he took the initiative to say that he would go sightseeing another day.

But since ancient times, it is not reasonable for the emperor to give way to his subjects. The emperor looked a little angry, but he didn't want to get angry immediately.

"Your Majesty," Su Peisheng knew the emperor best. He glanced at the pavilion next to him and said, "Your servants have already prepared. Your Majesty and Lady Anpin are a little tired after walking all the way. It is better for you to have tea and rest in the pavilion first, so that you can have the energy to appreciate the sea and read poetry."

This was just an excuse given by Su Peisheng. The emperor and Ling Rong came in sedan chairs, so how could they be tired?

It’s just that the emperor is angry and wants to meet Prince Guo, so he needs a reason to stay here.

"The moon is reflected on the sea, the lotus flowers are blooming at night, and the emperor and his concubines are enjoying the moon together in the pavilion. Isn't it a beautiful thing?"

Two people offered the emperor a step and he immediately got down. A group of people sat in the pavilion, admiring the moon, but actually waiting for Prince Guo to get off the boat.

Su Peisheng had been waiting at the ferry. As soon as Prince Guo and Huanbi got off the boat, they were "caught" by Su Peisheng. Without waiting for them to explain, he brought them directly before the emperor.

At this time, the emperor was playing chess with Lingrong and did not even look up at Prince Guo who was standing aside and paying his respects.

Lingrong didn't know how to speak, so she could only play chess with the emperor silently until the game was decided.

"Nizi is not concentrating, so she plays chess faster."

The emperor threw the chess piece in his hand into the jar, then held Lingrong's hand and talked for a long time before turning to look at Prince Guo.

"Brother, please see your Majesty."

"You have followed the rules tonight." The emperor's sharp eyes swept across Huanbi and Prince Guo, and finally stopped on Prince Guo's eyes.

Prince Guo didn't dare to look directly at the emperor, and immediately lowered his eyes, "I didn't know that the emperor had been to Fuhai at night, and he had made the emperor and Concubine An wait for a long time."

The emperor said nothing, but just stared at Prince Guo, trying to see some clues from his expression.

Although Prince Guo seemed flustered, he actually did not show any fear at all.

Perhaps because Prince Hedun was planning a rebellion, Prince Guo was even more cautious than before, pretending to be dull, "Your Majesty is worried about state affairs all day long, but you are interrupted by an idler like me. This is really wrong."

"It's fine if you like to play around on weekdays, but there are countless women in the Old Summer Palace, so you should be more careful."

What the emperor wants to see most is that his younger brother only knows how to enjoy himself and doesn't care about the affairs of state.

Prince Guo's appropriate show of weakness immediately made the emperor suppress his suspicions and instead tease him about his inappropriate behavior with Huanbi on the ferry.

"Brother Chen..."

Prince Guo glanced at Huanbi who was kneeling beside him. She was only there to deliver news about Huan'er. How could he possibly do anything inappropriate with her?

But in such a dark night, the emperor's personal eunuch saw a man and a woman alone getting off a ferry.

If she tried to argue that the two of them were fine, the emperor would surely suspect that they were planning something else tonight, and might even suspect Huan'er.

"This palace maid looks familiar." Lingrong glanced at Huanbi and suddenly spoke casually, "Between her eyebrows and eyes, she looks a bit like Concubine Xu?"

"Really? Look up."

The emperor frowned and immediately remembered the past involvement between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo. He immediately wondered if the maid was Zhen Huan in disguise.

Fortunately, it was Huanbi who raised her head, not Zhen Huan. And she was indeed somewhat similar to Concubine Xu, just as Concubine An said.

"This servant, this servant is Huanbi, who serves Lady Xu. This servant pays homage to His Majesty and Lady Anpin."

"At this late hour, why are you here in Fuhai when you are not at Yuedi Yunju serving Concubine Xu?"
