An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 254 Flower Room

Although Concubine Tian was bleeding from her lower body, it was not as dangerous as imagined.

Her pulse gradually stabilized and her breathing began to return to normal after she coughed.

It was not until then that He Anming finally put his worries to rest. After all, before Concubine Tian recovered, he did not dare to insist that the preventive medicine that Concubine Tian had taken before was absolutely effective.

"Empress Tian's physical condition is gradually stabilizing." He Anming let out a long sigh, raised his chin, and motioned Wei Lin to come over and take her pulse.

Wei Lin originally wanted to refuse, but at He Anming's insistence, he went over to take the patient's pulse. As He Anming said, although the physical signs looked terrible, they were actually gradually getting better.

"It seems that taking precautions against hay fever is the right choice."

"Indeed, I also thought it would be ineffective." He Anming motioned Wei Lin to go out with him, "But this matter cannot be told to outsiders for the time being, you should understand."

"But Concubine Sheng..."

"It's fine, Concubine Sheng. Taking preventive medication in advance was her suggestion.

But it was precisely because of this proposal that Concubine Tian felt emboldened and ran out of the Yanxi Palace.

The two of them sighed at the same time, and to the ears of the imperial doctors outside the door, it seemed that Concubine Tian's condition was not good.

However, they refused to ask He Anming and all their eyes were on Wei Lin.

Wei Lin's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to look at He Anming.

"The condition of Concubine Tian has temporarily stabilized. As for a complete recovery, I'm afraid it will require the joint efforts of all the imperial doctors to come up with a plan."

Upon hearing that Concubine Tian's condition was stable, Doctor Zhang heaved a long sigh in his heart - the Queen Mother ordered that Concubine Tian must have a miscarriage, but now the hay fever has not caused Concubine Tian to have a miscarriage, so now he can only be the bad guy.

But as a doctor, how can I do such a heinous thing?

Doctor Zhang was reluctant to do it, but he had to do it. His life and property were in the hands of the Empress, so how could he refuse?

only......

Zhang Mi looked at Doctor He. If someone didn't give him the slightest chance, wouldn't it be natural that he couldn't harm Concubine Tian?

"Judge, do you have a good idea?"

Before Zhang Mi could finish thinking of a countermeasure, He Anming came over. Zhang Mi's mind was not on Concubine Tian now, so how could he come up with any good countermeasures?

"For now... there is no good solution."

Fortunately, He Anming did not continue to ask questions or drag the discussion into the conversation. When Zhang Mi turned his back, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

I don’t know whether it was good luck or bad luck, but Zhang Mi had never entered the inner room to check Concubine Tian’s pulse. He heard all the news from He Anming and Wei Lin.

According to them, Concubine Tian's health was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the situation of the royal heir was also precarious, especially after she had another miscarriage.

No one dared to report to the Emperor and the Empress immediately. After all, even though the baby was bleeding, there was still a chance to save the royal heir.

After drinking bowl after bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, Concubine Tian's condition finally turned around near dusk.

The emperor, who had been waiting outside for nearly two hours, finally relaxed his expression and began to listen to the queen's account of the situation in the imperial garden.

"I asked someone to check the flower stand and found that the ceiling supporting the flowers had been deliberately damaged. The flowers were so numerous and heavy that they slid down through the cracks.

It happened that Concubine Tian went under the flower stand, and it hit her just now."

"In that case, it was the fault of the craftsman who built the flower stand."

The queen nodded, but did not directly put all the blame on the craftsman, "I'm afraid the craftsman didn't know that there would be so many flowers on it.

I went to take a look and saw that there were just a few vertical and horizontal wooden strips on the top of the flower stand.

In order to ensure the beauty of the flower stand, only gauze was used when laying it, and it was precisely because the gauze was not tough enough that the problem occurred. "

The emperor just looked at the queen coldly. He hummed, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "Who proposed to lay down the veil?"

"This..." The Queen sighed and shook her head, "This matter was decided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If we want to investigate, I'm afraid we can only hold Jiang Minzhong, the chief steward, accountable.

But I also feel that this fault cannot be blamed on him."

"What the Queen said makes sense, and I also think that we can't just blame the people who did it.

After all, if no one instructed them, they would not be able to do such evil things as deliberately murdering the concubines."

The emperor must have discovered something when he said this. The queen was startled and her mind quickly recalled whether she had finished the matter.

The flower burial of Concubine Tian was mainly handled by Concubine Chun. She just asked someone to make it convenient for her and never did it herself.

Even if the emperor had some doubts, he shouldn't have suspected me.

Could it be that... Concubine Chun was the first to tell the secret to the Emperor?

"Your Majesty, do you mean that someone deliberately ordered them to harm Concubine Tian and her unborn child?"

The Queen spoke tentatively, staring at the Emperor, unwilling to miss any change in his expression, "But Concubine Tian walked down to the flower stand by herself, this... can this also be calculated?"

Concubine Chun also nodded and agreed with the Queen, "Sister Tianpin has hay fever, and according to common sense, she would never go near the flower stand.

But she walked away by herself today, which is really hard to understand. "

It was for this reason that the Emperor did not question the Queen immediately, but instead tried to probe her with words, waiting for Su Peisheng and the Niangan Division to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Yes, it's obvious that Concubine Tian is very afraid of those flowers." Concubine Xin also spoke up, and she even touched Xia Dongchun who was sitting next to her, "Right, Concubine Xia."

"Ah? What did you say?"

Xia Dongchun's mind was not here at the moment, so she did not react immediately to what Concubine Xin said. She blinked her eyes, and waited for Concubine Xin to repeat it again before she said "hmm".

"Princess Tian was once in critical condition due to hay fever. She shouldn't have taken the initiative to walk under the flower stand."

The Queen also expressed her doubts at the right time, "At that time, I was walking beside the Emperor, but I didn't know why Concubine Tian wanted to go. Do the other sisters know?"

"I only heard Concubine Tian say that she wanted to go closer to take a look." Chun Changzai suddenly spoke up, "and then Sang'er beside Concubine Tian also advised her a little.

The two people spoke in very low voices, so I didn't hear them.

But Sang'er must have failed to persuade her, otherwise Sister Tianpin would not have been buried by so many flowers."

"In that case, I'm afraid that Concubine Tian underestimated the severity of hay fever and went to admire the flowers under the flower stand."

"After thinking about it, this is the only reason."

Concubine Xin also agreed with this view. She nodded and turned to look at Xia Dongchun, "What do you think, Concubine Xia?"

"I..." Xia Dongchun's mind turned, but she didn't figure out why Concubine Tian wanted to go to the flower stand, so she could only honestly say, "I don't know."

"There is no other reason except this one." Concubine Xin muttered, "Could it be that someone told her that there was something waiting for her to take under the flower stand?

Even if that's the case, you can just ask your personal maid to go, why bother going in alone."

Xia Dongchun still shook her head. Now that Lingrong and Concubine Tian were not around, she didn't like to talk and just sat there with her head down. No matter what Concubine Xin asked her, she said she didn't know, wasn't clear, and didn't understand.

But no one expected Xia Dongchun to dig out the truth behind it. Concubine Xin was just sitting close to her and took the opportunity to talk to her.

"Why are you so absent-minded? Aren't Concubine Tian and her son fine now?"

Seeing that the emperor and the queen were discussing again, Concubine Xin pulled Xia Dongchun aside and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, since the imperial physician said she's safe, it's only a matter of time before Concubine Tian wakes up."

"I'm not worried about Concubine Tian," Xia Dongchun lowered her voice and leaned close to Concubine Xin's ear, "but just now Wei Lin said that Concubine Sheng was not feeling well, so I was a little worried about her."

"I didn't expect you and Concubine Sheng have such a good relationship."

Concubine Xin sighed. She had only a brief acquaintance with Ling Rong and even less words to say to her. Because of Concubine Xu, she also had a more or less bad impression of Concubine Sheng.

"Well, Concubine Sheng is a good person, but you," Xia Dongchun asked Concubine Xin, "you seem to have a better relationship with Concubine Xu. She has harmed so many royal heirs. Aren't you afraid?"

"Ah...she's not that bad." Concubine Xin was quite hesitant. Now that Concubine Xu was under house arrest, it was unknown whether she would ever be able to sit on the throne of a concubine.

She had a very bad relationship with Concubine Sheng. If she spoke well of her in front of Concubine Xia, she was afraid that Concubine Sheng and the others would dislike her.

Maybe he would try to trip me up and use tricks on me, just like he did to Concubine Xu, which would put me in an even more dangerous situation.

"She was indeed very talented and her words were very gentle and kind, so I chatted with her for a while.

In your eyes, maybe because of this reason, you think that I have a better relationship with Concubine Xu."

"Maybe." Xia Dongchun's mind was clearly elsewhere, and she didn't understand why Concubine Xin explained it this way. "From your perspective, you do have a better relationship than Concubine Xu and Concubine Chun."

"Well, I am no match for those two sisters."

Concubine Xin waved her hand, and she looked at Concubine Chun, and immediately received a very sweet smile from her.

But the next moment, Concubine Chun brought up the topic, "What did Sister Xin see?"

Seeing that the emperor and the empress were looking at her, Concubine Xin waved her hands hurriedly and said that she didn't notice anything unusual.

The emperor glanced at her with great impatience and was about to scold her, telling her to stop making noise.

"I think this is an accident." The Queen did not allow the embarrassment to continue. She tentatively expressed her guess, "After all, Concubine Tian is the one who knows her physical condition best.

No one pushed her, and she walked to the flower stand by herself. If someone really wanted to murder her, they must have used some unorthodox means to do it.

Your Majesty, what do you think? "

The emperor naturally did not reply. By chance, Su Peisheng came trotting in and whispered something into the emperor's ear.

The queen stretched her ears to listen, but Su Peisheng's voice was too soft and she could only hear a few unimportant interjections.

"Since Concubine Tian is fine, I will go to Chengqian Palace to see Concubine Sheng.

She almost slipped and had a miscarriage today, and I am really worried."

"Is Concubine Sheng okay now? She is weak to begin with, and I don't know if it will affect the heir to the throne..."

The emperor's face became increasingly gloomy. Of all the people sitting in the main hall, perhaps only the empress was not worthy of mentioning the crown prince.

The successive miscarriages of concubines in the harem were all related to her, especially when Concubine Sheng was pregnant with Youning. The Queen must have known how the poisonous snake crawled into Chengqian Palace.

She was not punished because she was the Empress of the Qing Dynasty and the sister of Chun Yuan. If the people of the world knew that the mistress of the palace was intolerant, the Aisin-Gioro clan would have no face left.

"You heard what Wei Lin just said. We need to wait a little longer to know for sure whether the heir is ill or not.

"Princess Tian will be in the care of the Queen. I don't want to hear any bad news. Does the Queen understand?"

The emperor didn't care whether the queen agreed or not. He left Su Peisheng to look after the queen, and took Xiao Xiazi with him to listen to the news found out by the stick-stick office - as for going to Chengqian Palace or something, it was just the emperor's excuse.

Xia Ji was of some use this time. He found out that the flowers were transported from outside the palace overnight, and the person in charge of receiving and registering them was Gao Yi from the flower room.

"Gao Yi? Who is this?"

"What a coincidence! This Gao Yi is the eunuch that Prince Guo met when he was wandering near Yongshou Palace that day."

Xia Jian was afraid that the emperor would forget, so he emphasized that it was the time when Concubine Xu was canonized as a concubine.

The emperor had no idea what happened that day. He glanced at Xia Qian unhappily and asked, "So have you found out whether Gao Yi is related to Prince Guo?"

"If he hadn't been in charge of these flowers, I wouldn't have been able to find out the relationship between him and Prince Guo."

Xia Qian's habit of keeping people in suspense came back again, but the emperor was in no mood to deal with him at the moment. A look was enough to make Xia Qian reveal everything.

Gao Yi was responsible for delivering seasonal flowers to each palace, so he had some knowledge of the situation in each concubine's palace.

It was through the help of Gao Yi, an insignificant figure, that Prince Guo learned when the emperor went to rest with which concubine.

The assassin was able to rush into Concubine Xu's bedroom and murder the emperor at the fastest speed that day because of Gao Yi's tip-off.

"He conveyed the message through the registration of flowers entering the palace. This is the code I found out. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Xia Qian presented a booklet. On one side were Gao Yi's words written in the register, and on the other side were the contents recompiled in code.

Every word and sentence conveyed the emperor's message. Even which concubine the emperor stayed with the most this month was clearly written.

"You are truly my good brother. You even know the number of times I have entered the harem better than I do.

It's a pity that he is not allowed to sit on the throne."
