An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Although it was completely dark, Lingrong still packed up and rushed to Xianfu Palace with Zhaoshui and Fanglin.

She arrived relatively early, and at that time only the emperor, the empress and Concubine Qi were there.

Zhen Huan was only one step slower, and she and Ling Rong entered the main hall at the same time.

However, the two of them had nothing to say to each other. They just nodded to each other and sat down in silence.

After Ling Rong sat down, she saw the Fifth Prince standing in the corner. The child had a cold face, but his eyes really had the arrogant and willful look that the emperor had described.

Seeing Lingrong looking at him, the Fifth Prince glanced at her coldly and turned his head away.

In this way, Lingrong no longer paid attention to the Fifth Prince. After all, it was Concubine Jing who suffered, so if anyone should care about her, she should be the one to care about.

"The imperial physician has just come in, so I'm afraid you sisters will have to sit for a while longer."

The Queen spoke first, and then several concubines came over. The Queen stopped them from bowing and said, "Okay, just take your seats.

Jianqiu, the roads are slippery on a snowy day, go to Suiyuxuan and tell Chun Changzai not to come over."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Jianqiu left, the noise in the hall quieted down again. Lingrong wanted to ask what happened, but the emperor looked so bad that she was afraid that she would be displeased if she spoke at this time.

But Lingrong didn't believe it. What reason did the Fifth Prince have to harm Concubine Jing? After all, he still needed Concubine Jing to win the Emperor's favor. How could he smash the bowl before taking a few bites of the meal?

It could only be that someone used the Fifth Prince to do this, and who else could that person be other than the Queen.

The Fifth Prince looked like he had been reprimanded by the Emperor, and without Concubine Yu by his side, I'm afraid no one would be willing to help him clear his name.

Not long after, Jianqiu came back and brought back information about Concubine Chun's current health condition, so that the Emperor and the Empress could rest assured and just take care of Concubine Jing.

It's a pity that Concubine Jing's condition is really bad. She is already pregnant and no one knows what kind of tricks she has encountered this time. Even though everyone is waiting in the main hall, they can occasionally hear the palace people's discussions.

One moment, Concubine Jing was screaming, the next moment, she was bleeding from her body, and the next moment, the imperial physician was asking someone to bring medicine.

Lingrong was terrified when she heard this, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

It was because Concubine Tian was so brave that she dared to come over and comfort Lingrong not to worry too much. "There are many people with superb Chinese medicine skills in this Imperial Hospital. There must be a way to save Concubine Jing and the child."

Lingrong glanced at the emperor and seeing that he had no intention of paying attention to her and Concubine Tian, ​​she also responded with a few words.

They were just words of concern, and even if others thought they were noisy, it was not easy to scold them.

Gradually, several concubines started chatting in groups of two or three. The atmosphere was too depressing, and no one knew if they would make the wrong expression or say the wrong thing to anger the emperor.

Therefore, many people regretted rushing over to sit here. It would be better for them to stay in their own hall and drink and chat with their sisters.

"Your Majesty, Queen, why don't you ask the Fifth Prince to go down and have a rest?"

Zhen Huan, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke. She looked at the Fifth Prince in the corner and said in a very gentle tone, "He is a child after all. I am afraid he cannot stay up late."

The emperor nodded and his eyes fell on the Fifth Prince.

He signaled Xiao Xiazi to take the Fifth Prince away, but he still couldn't help but scold the Fifth Prince in public, "Go down and reflect on your mistakes."

The emperor's original intention was to make the Fifth Prince feel ashamed so that he would reflect on his own actions. After all, if it weren't for him, Concubine Jing would not have had such a bad pregnancy.

But the Fifth Prince also got angry. He wiped his face and refused to leave the corner no matter what. No matter how Xiao Xiazi tried to comfort him, he just had a cold face.

In this palace, apart from the Queen Mother, no one else dares to disobey the Emperor's orders like this.

The more stubborn the Fifth Prince was, the angrier the Emperor became. His face became more and more gloomy, and there was a sense of impending storm.

It’s just that these two father and son are really a bit alike. No matter what happens, they both think they are not wrong.

"Fifth Prince," Zhen Huan saw that the atmosphere was indeed somewhat tense, so she spoke again, "It's not too late to sort out right and wrong afterwards.

Empress Jingfei is in danger now. No matter what is said at this time, it is difficult for everyone to discuss and deal with it.

Why don't you go down and rest for a while, and wait until Concubine Jing is out of danger, then we can talk about this later."

Zhen Huan's tone was gentle, and it sounded like a spring breeze to people's ears.

It’s a pity that her gentle appearance was only shown to a blind person.

The Fifth Prince snorted and glanced at Zhen Huan with an expression that seemed to say, "How can a noble like you have the qualifications to talk to me?"

Zhen Huan did not feel angry at being looked down upon by the child. She had already advised the Fifth Prince to leave after all. If the Fifth Prince did not leave, it would only be because he had displeased the Emperor.

But the Fifth Prince did not stay. He even bowed respectfully to the Emperor and the Empress before turning around and leaving.

Xiao Xiazi wiped his sweat and followed behind the Fifth Prince to serve him, fearing that he would accidentally anger the young master and suffer.

After the Fifth Prince left, the atmosphere in the palace was still stagnant. It was not until the Empress spoke up that she told everyone what had happened before.

"Fifth Prince is a child after all, and after being bored in the palace for a long time, he wanted to find someone to play with and relieve his boredom.

Because Concubine Jing had a similar personality to Concubine Yu, the Fifth Prince particularly liked her and often came to Xianfu Palace.

Today, the Fifth Prince came to play chess with Concubine Jing just like he did in the past.

It's just that Concubine Jing has been feeling unwell these days and wants to refuse the Fifth Prince.

But the Fifth Prince thought that Concubine Jing disliked his noise, so he became angry and refused to leave Xianfu Palace no matter what.

Concubine Jing used all her power to persuade him to leave, but she didn’t expect that when she was sending the Fifth Prince out…”

The queen paused here and sighed deeply, as if she couldn't bear to speak.

She turned her head to look at the emperor's expression, and seeing that the emperor had no intention of stopping her, she carefully chose her words and said, "Jing Fei was seeing the Fifth Prince off, but she accidentally stepped on ice and fell to the ground.

It is precisely because of this accident that Concubine Jing’s condition today is really serious, and there has been no good news for a long time. "

Lingrong frowned, pondering the meaning of the Queen's words. Could it be that the Queen's unfinished words were to say that Concubine Jing's fall was not an accident, but was caused by the Fifth Prince?

"But after winter comes, the palace servants will clear the snow and ice every day, especially the palaces of Concubine Jing and Concubine Chun who are pregnant. There are always people watching over them."

Ling Rong hinted at something, and looked at the Queen with a puzzled look on her face, "How could it be such a coincidence?"

“Concubine Jing loves children, and every time the Fifth Prince comes to Xianfu Palace, she will personally see him off.

I'm afraid someone discovered this habit and deliberately poured water outside the palace gate to make ice, which caused Concubine Jing to slip."

The queen explained in a soft voice, but the answer frightened everyone.

No wonder she hurriedly sent people to notify the concubines in the palace. It turned out that she wanted to wait until Concubine Jing was out of danger so that she could investigate who did it.

It would be fine to run over and sit here waiting for Concubine Jing to be out of danger. After all, it would still be a chance for me to see the Emperor.

If I happen to win the emperor's favor, I will get an extra night of favor.

But now they are running here waiting to be checked, and no one feels good about it.

Especially Concubine Tian, ​​her expression was extremely ugly, and she almost wanted to roll her eyes.

After all, she had known the true identity of the queen for a long time. When she heard that something happened to Concubine Jing, she immediately suspected the queen.

Now, seeing the queen being so hypocritical, I just find it disgusting.

"In that case, the concubines living in the West Six Palaces are the most suspicious."

Concubine Tian forced a slight smile and looked intentionally at Concubine Qi, Zhen Huan, Concubine Xin and others.

"After all, Xianfu Palace stayed in the West Six Palaces, and people from the East Six Palaces went there every day. They would have been discovered long ago. Your Majesty, don't you think I am right?"

"Some people are probably crying thief," Xin Changzai said to Concubine Tian as she saw the emperor getting up and leaving. "After all, I'm afraid no one would use such a ridiculous excuse as the distance, except for those brainless people who want to hurt others."

"Oh, you jumped out so quickly." Concubine Tian was naturally not choked by Xin Chang's words. After all, she was not the one who did it, so she was particularly confident in mocking him. "Could it be that you were right and you are anxious to find someone to take the blame?"

"It's really shameless of Concubine Tian to throw dirty water on the Six Western Palaces at will."

"Something happened in the West Six Palaces. First, I suspect something is wrong in the West Six Palaces." Concubine Tian looked around and set her eyes on Ling Rong's face. "What do you think, Concubine Sheng?"

He was clearly just sitting aside, but was dragged into the quarrel by Concubine Tian.

Ling Rong just smiled, she neither nodded nor shook her head, she just cast her eyes on the Queen, "Since the Queen said that someone did it, I guess they must have found out something.

Why not ask the Queen to speak up, so as to avoid the sisters making wild guesses and hurting their feelings."

Lingrong didn't want to become the target of public criticism. Since the Queen was sitting here, why not let her tell everything she knew?

If they couldn't say it, then it could only be that the Queen was sowing discord and intentionally causing everyone to quarrel, preferably to cause a falling out.

Only a fool like Concubine Tian would be fooled by the Queen.

“We did find out something. The palace maids who served Concubine Jing saw human figures near Xianfu Palace many times.

Unfortunately, the man seemed to be well prepared, and they were never able to catch him."

The Queen sighed, as if she was very sorry, "Fifth Prince is just a child, I'm afraid he must have been frightened today."

"In that case, the person who did it is really scheming."

Concubine Qi suddenly spoke up. She now felt that she had a good relationship with Concubine Jing and no one would suspect her. "It's even better that the Fifth Prince has to bear the blame.

Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. If there is such a vicious person in the palace, what will we do if he harms the Third Prince one day?"

The queen nodded. She was really tired of being annoyed by Concubine Qi recently. She felt a headache when she heard Concubine Qi's voice.

"The Emperor has already ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, so please cooperate with us, sisters.

The main reason is that this time it involves the Fifth Prince, and the Emperor will definitely not let it go easily."

Seeing the anger in Concubine Tian and Concubine Xin's eyes grow even more intense, the Queen did not forget to add fuel to the fire, "After such a big incident, none of the six palaces in the east and west can get themselves out of it.

But Xianfu Palace is indeed in the West Six Palaces, so I'm afraid I have to check it out first."

“The palaces close to Xianfu Palace are the most likely to have people monitoring Concubine Jing and the Fifth Prince every day.

Your Majesty, the Queen must send more people to investigate this matter thoroughly, to prevent those who are not in the West Six Palaces from making fun of this matter every day."

Xin Changzai became even angrier because of Concubine Tian's contemptuous look.

"Please ask the Queen to send someone to check the Chuxiu Palace where I am. Otherwise, I don't know how this noble lady Tian will talk behind my back and gloat over my misfortune."

Concubine Xin's words were as vicious as ever. Even Lingrong couldn't help shaking her head after hearing them, not to mention Concubine Tian who had a bad temper.

However, the angrier Concubine Tian was, the more she couldn't say it.

She tightly grasped her handkerchief, her tongue seemed to be tied, and she could only let Xin Chang continue to mock her.

Lingrong and Concubine Tian were sitting close to each other, so she reached out and pinched her wrist, signaling Concubine Tian not to quarrel with Concubine Xin anymore.

"Xin Changzai is indeed a role model for all the concubines," Ling Rong took over the conversation, "Then after the six western palaces have been checked, please ask the Queen to start the investigation from my Chengqian Palace.

Empress Jingfei has suffered so much, it would be best to find out the real culprit as soon as possible.

Now Chun Changzai is pregnant. If we don’t find the real culprit and she gets hurt again, what will we do? "

"Don't worry about this, Concubine Sheng. Concubine Chun is there. The emperor and I have sent people over.

Only after her belly was full for three months, Chun Changzai was allowed to go out and walk around. "

"The Queen is really thoughtful. Concubine Chun is young and loves to play.

I heard that a few days ago, Concubine Chun and Prince Wu were making a snowman in the Imperial Garden. Fortunately, nothing went wrong and they returned to Suiyuxuan safely.

Now that the Queen is holding her, the sisters can feel at ease."

"Fifth Prince, do you still often go to see Concubine Chun?" Concubine Qi asked in surprise, she looked at the Queen, "Your Majesty, Fifth Prince doesn't often go to see Hongshi to play, does he?

The emperor did not have many requirements for the fifth prince's poetry and literature, but he was very strict with Hongshi.

What if his love of playing interferes with Hongshi's studies?"

It was Hongshi again. The Queen felt like she was about to have a headache, but she had to comfort Concubine Qi and tell her to put her mind at ease.

"Although the Fifth Prince is weak, he knows more about poetry and literature than the Third Prince.

In terms of memorizing poetry and prose alone, the Fifth Prince is much faster than the Third Prince.

As the mother of the Third Prince, you cannot just pamper him blindly. If you put your pampering thoughts on the Third Prince's training, why do you have to worry about him neglecting his studies every day! "
